REPEAT
OFFENDERS.
A joke is not lore because it was funny once. Show me where it went.

SLIDE INTO DMS
Ansun says it in 2020; Anthos immediately admits the phrase now makes her picture somebody physically sliding; Mugen supplies the matching GIF; by October Rooks can deploy a custom animated SlideInDms emoji. Six years later Ren is telling returners to SLIDE TO THEIR DMS. The metaphor apparently signed a lease.
archive-confirmed recurring joke with maintenance history
SPANK MUGS BOOTY
A joke title gets stored as a weekly Saturday event, survives edits, enters public announcements, migrates between bots, and is still being test-announced four years later.
archive-confirmed recurring person-centered joke
OLD MAN SNOW
By September 2020 Ansun is directly calling Snow "our beloved old man Snow"; birthdays become an age-inflation surface, the label moves into the Wall, and Snow eventually starts supplying the whippersnappers and Methuselah material himself.
Zoshaa-coined phrase · later official use confirmed
BOILED MAYO CORP.
Zoshaa coined Boiled Mayo. The surviving July 17 receipt catches Mugen later using "Boiled Mayo Corp." on a real Staff schedule; Gilli answers "Y U M".
archive-confirmed recurring newcomer motif with a native UI mutation
EATING THE NEWBIES
Recruit-food language becomes a custom ":NOM:" at the live Lobby door, then "biting new members", then a behavior Mugen names back to the house as "Eating the newbies".
archive-confirmed cross-room reaction grammar
FAT_WHEEZE
A custom reaction escapes the status of "funny image" and repeatedly carries whole replies by itself across Whiskey, Meems, and the Wall: laughter, disbelief, accusation, agreement, side-eye, and punctuation with a face.
STILL OPEN
ONE RECEIPT
IS A SCENE.
THEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN.
Unresolved entries can stay here without being promoted into certainty. "Genealogy open" means we have something worth tracking, but the earlier use, later callback, or missing bridge still needs a receipt.
