Quick interjection -- "timelies" should be added to the FAQ, in the dialect section. Something like:
Q: Timelies? When?
A: "Timelies" is a multi-time-zone-friendly greeting for our poly-time-zone community. It evolved from "Good Morning/Day/Afternoon/Evening/Night!" into "Timely Greetings!" and eventually the simple "Timelies" you see being used on the board today.
Good one Jess. I've bookmarked and will add ASAP.
Lost in the voting kerfuffle has been the Mythology FAQ Lyra Jane compiled and I formatted. If everyone's happy with it, I'll excise the overlapping questions from the regular FAQ and set up links between the two.
And possibly also 'MWAH', since there was a question about that in Bitches this morning, and I have to admit I'm slightly unclear-- is there more than one version, or something?
I think MWAH is a kiss and Mwah-ha-ha-ha! is evil laughter.

"Mwah" is a big kiss. Say it out loud. "Mwah!"
Not to be confused with "Muahahahaha!" which is an evil laugh.
[scary x-post!]
You need to put specific objects in your sentences, Am-Chau. I've no idea what you're talking about.

Oh! never mind
It's good to have these spellings standarized.
Q: MWAH? Are you kissing me or is that your impersonation of Frankenstein?
A: It's all in the spelling. MWAH is a kiss (try saying it out loud) and Mwah-ha-ha-ha! (sometimes Muahahahaha! or inbetween those two) is the scary-evil-crazy laugh. You know the one.
... I think "mwah" is a pretty standard thing. I don't think it's a Buffista thing or even an Internet thing. I don't think we should put it in the FAQ.
I was proposing putting it in because there is this confusion between the one which is apperently fairly common, and the other which is (I think, and YcommonwordsMV) fairly Buffista-specific (or at any rate, we use both of them, and there was a confusion, and it doesn't matter.)
