/me
Etymology: IRC
Derivation: IRC; common


/me:

[IRC; common] Under most IRC, /me is the "pose" command; if you are logged on as Foonly and type "/me laughs", others watching the channel will see "* Joe Foonly laughs". This usage has been carried over to mail and news, where the reader is expected to perform the same expansion in his or her head.
