M*

  • noun Abbreviation for the class of games which in this dictionary are described as MUAs. The logical progression for people who know insufficient about the history of MUAs to choose the dominant usage MUD (sense 6), but enough about alternatives to realise that MOO doesn't begin with "MU". What they'll do when they come across MUA servers which don't even begin with "M" is anyone's guess - *, maybe? See also MU*.
