There has been much x-postyness, and it hasn't all been x-posty goodness.
When we landed here you said you needed a few days to get space worthy again and is there somethin' wrong with your bunk?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
IME, neither is Buffista-specific (or even, as RL said, really internet-specific), and this is the first time I've seen a question about either one.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
I thought Timelies started in Natter.
Where, oh where is Nilly when you need her?
So, is there anyone here against trying preferential voting this one time?
Me! But, you know, so completely anti-PV I film PSAs about it.

I think I picked it up from someone in Natter. Memory says juliana, but that could be wrong.

The first instance of Timelies I could find was PMM in Natter 6, at post 6868. Timely greetings itself was being used in Natter 4. (I looked through Natters 4, 5, 6.)

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I'm pretty sure I was an early adopter -- I may have started it off as "Good Time-Period-of-Choice!" or something like that.
