/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.
