An End to "Meowdy"

[Cheapshot]

M3owdi stranger!

When Mao hears that word, Mao knows is foods nearby. Is why Mao not plannings to blocks word.

[Turnintino]

Not how it works.

Doesn't sound like term filters will apply to instances like party chat, however, so I will be continuing to terrorize everyone, regardless, until they blacklist me. ฅ(⌯͒ↀᴥↀ⌯͒)ฅnya～ﾝ❣

Goodbye "Meowdy". You'll earn a permanent place in my filter. Thank you Square Enix for letting us purge the most asinine greeting in human history.

If we ever cross paths, at least you will understand why I never greeted you!

I did, but you didn't want to hear it,

According to the new Terms of Service, all Miqote and Hrothgar players are required to "/sh MEOWDY!" when entering the old west town.

Bannable if you don't.

The erasure of the dialect of my people is one of the most hurtful things I've ever witnessed on these forums.

This deserves far more likes.

Meowdy is mewsic to my ears.

Uugh gods. Never thought I’d feel a delusional obligation to defend the linguistic flavor of my insufferable Eorzean furry fluff balls but. . .le sigh. . .take a moment to fundamentally consider exactly what it is you uncultured baffoons (I’m kidding) so heartily ask to do away with. Examine ‘Meowdy’ at its core, its utility and mechanics.

Meowdy. . .comes from H A P P Y kitties. Not grumpy ones. Not bitter ones. Not sassy condescending ones who wish to look down on thy worthless existence. At its core, it’s a simplistic, pathetically warm hearted, downright jovial way to say, even unto perfect stranger “Hey there friend, top of the world to ya!” It’s an instant kindness and carefree spirit bundled into a melodiously tangible heart chocolate and just plain SLAPPED right smack in your palm with a smile that asks absolutely nothing back. How often does your dreary existence grant such unassuming warmth?

So I’ll play the pretentious oaf, knuckles on hips, and index finger you into the ground until you soften your cold hearts! Next time you hear some tomboyishly inquisitive feline, or heck, even a full grown beefcake tiger hroth launch forth that intrepidly grand introduction of southern salutations. . .take a moment. Shaddup and greet em back. Stay your inner callousness and be grateful someone’s still shedding shards of resplendent light in these bedarkened Eorzean times.


Meowdy is a good thing. Let the kitties have it.

People actually getting annoyed by Meowdy are funny to me, you must take yourself quite serious indeed.
