LaPetite : (or la Petite) Character first seen in frame 799, a Chekhov's gun initially (via social engineering, millinery, and temporal shenanigans) conflated with BlitzGirl.

luckpix : An interval of 4 nopix (or 4 hours)
I'll be checking back after one luckpix. (@intheshax, OTT:1373:22)
(This is the time between ONGs of the TimeAfterTime frames, beginning with the lucky series by @Latent22, and including several subsequent OTTer-created Time sequels.

ONG frame 2241 (@mscha, OTT:897:4) ⌇ Megan is telling Cueball that that was their family pet named Lucky, which they set free when it started growing too big and they realised it wasn't a housecat. Cueball is expressing concern that she might have hurt Lucky. (@Angelastic, OTT:897:6)

There were lots of loop theories when Megball stopped to sit on a slope. (@RobIrr, OTT:490:34)

[...] / 3 "1 mph = 1 Megan per millinewpix" would be exact if Megan were 5.12 feet tall. (@mrob27, OTT:2009:9)
We already have a pretty good time units (knp = kilonewpix, np, mnp = millinewpix, etc), and distance units (kq = kilocue, q = cueball, etc.), and this would round it out quite OTTishly. (@mrob27, OTT:2114:11)
For convenience we'll [assume] that the acceleration/gravity is 9.80665 m/s2. For those keeping track, that's about 71.805 q/mnp2 (cueballs per millinewpix per millinewpix). (@mrob27, OTT:2119:19)
2. Any comparably short interval of time.

(@Latent22, OTT:478:12) ⌇ Maybe they are walking on gray-poupon mustard. (@Opiboble, OTT:478:13) ⌇ I think I smell a Transitioning. Or it could be mustard gas. / EDIT: Holy fuck. I didn't see Opi's post before I posted this. 0_0. (@Helper, OTT:478:14)
Ok I think I know what they are. When he was gimping/photshoping the image [...] he accidentally used a grey mustard colour selection [...] [and used] the fill tool [...] (@Latent22, OTT:478:35)
The mustard is gone. (@tman2nd, OTT:481:9) ⌇ But, there are lines of underground mustard... I am uncertain what this means. (@vvn, OTT:481:11)
Cuegan appears to be moving, but the mustard remains the same! It distracts from the narrative of the One True Comic! / Clearly, the mustard is heretical. (@BlitzGirl, OTT:482:5)
2. Something that is no longer mentioned. (As in Orwell's 1984)
Mustard? Gray? What are you talking about? Those frames have always liked that way. You're not implying that the GRL actually made a mistake and then went back and corrected it, are you? (@Febrion, OTT:485:2)
the mustard period has been removed from Time and therefore never happened. (@Smithers, OTT:535:2) ⌇ So, the Mustard Halucination Period? (@Exodies, OTT:537:0)
3. More generally, an error or mistake (in an act or work).
I think it is clear that low expectations should be set of any game based around the OTC. [...] The most that should be aimed for is something simple, fun, humorous, respectful and of course non-heretical5. / [...] / 5 No mustard. (@Kieryn, OTT:569:9)
Looks like there's a mole coming out of the ground (mustard?)! Notice the difference between frame 1349 and 1350 on the right side of the image. (@PacMan, OTT:621:7)
Wait until you find a glitch mustard. (@AluisioASG, OTT:782:28)
4. An insulting name for a person.
OMR, they killed Cueball! (@mscha, OTT:621:16) ⌇ You mustards! (@BlitzGirl, OTT:621:17)
She must have idolized me, nasty mustard that I was. (@charlie_grumbles, OTT:746:16)
5. A thing that is challenging, or hard to get right.
Yeah, these are tricky little mustards, harder than limericks. (@jjjdavidson, OTT:658:38)
6. A false belief.
Megan: We haven't learned why the sea rose. / Cueball: But maybe we were never going to. (frame 1601) ⌇ Cueball, that's mustard and you know it. :roll: (@BlitzGirl, OTT:710:27)
7. Generally difficult and adverse conditions.
hacking up the OTT might mean hacking up our generally good-natured community, and we'd end up like the Other poor souls wandering amid the lonely threads in the Individual (Other)Comics Section. That's a fate worse than mustard. (@BlitzGirl, OTT:749:32)
Coma well, fellow waiters; may your mustard stay safely in jars. (@jjjdavidson, OTT:893:20)
v. 1. To cause (something) to have a flaw or error.
edit - Ninja comment got mustard'd (@Flotter, OTT:482:4) (NOTE: The usage in this example is unclear.)
Maybe if The danes and the dutch named their countries anything like the name of the people /languages they speak, the it'd be easier. (@Dracomax, OTT:641:11) ⌇ But we did. (Nederland/Nederlands/Nederlanders.) It's the English – not the Americans, for a change – that screwed mustarded it up. (@mscha, OTT:641:17)
2. To diminish the quality or value of something.
A high BG number means you get quoted down a long chain, which ultimately gets quoted by BG. A high BG number is therefore the rarer case and could be thought of as more prestigious. (Edit: Well done lmjb1964!) (@Kieryn, OTT:690:28) ⌇ So, I could seriously mustard some people up by quoting them directly? (@BlitzGirl, OTT:692:30)
adj. Containing mustard, or having the qualities of mustard.
Also someone needs to upload all the mustard frames for posterity! (@Latent22, OTT:482:33)
in particular, the "mustard" frames revealed that Randall was modifying a base drawing. (@jjjdavidson, OTT:525:2)
interj. An expression of displeasure.
Well, mustard. The complainers have forced Vytron to blitz in silence! (@BlitzGirl, OTT:620:37)
mustardbusting : n. (and v.) 1. Efforts to combat mustard.
And it's in your job title, isn't it? You're the Specjalist. Apparently the duties of a Specjalist include mustardbusting. (@BlitzGirl OTT:2595:2)
2. An unintentional euphemism. (Related to the "ceiling cat" and "domo kitten" memes, which you may Google at your own risk.)
I very, very misread that :oops: (@HES, OTT:2595:4) ⌇ *tries to figure out just how the hamply read it* (@BlitzGirl, OTT:2595:5) ⌇ Ah, I think I figured out the "misread." Ew! (@BlitzGirl, OTT:2595:9) ⌇ ETA: Just realized what made BlitzGirl go "Ew." Embarrassed it took me so long. (@ggh, OTT:2595:11) ⌇ ROFL / Oh god, I just looked at your avatar. I am crying. (@ggh, OTT:2595:14) (referencing this avatar image) ⌇ ??? (@balthasar_s, OTT:2595:17) ⌇ I'm embarrassed it didn't take me longer, I got it almost immediately after seeing the hamply's post... (@macraw83, OTT:2595:18) ⌇ ! wow, / it's big! (@balthasar_s, OTT:2595:22) ⌇ Thank you for pointing this out, I may never look at a soldering iron the same way again. / It does make his expression much funnier though. (@GnomeAnne, OTT:2595:25)
mustardy : Like mustard (usually in the more general senses)
Re: prehistoric Molpies: hmm, the Molpy Monitor may need to go back some time and see what it can identify. Not for a while though. (Mustardy Outside... :( (@mscha, OTT:692:9)

MYQM : Marrying Yappo Queue Mob
Can I join the MYQM?? / ... / ?Marrying Yappo Queue Mob (@Angelastic, OTT:960:12) (the 'Queue Mob' part is a reference to @buffygirl's 'hat queue mob', see phqmm)
Mystery : In the OTT's ecclesiastical calendar, a 28-dip period (one Orthodix OTTish mip) beginning on the Outsider dip called "the 2nd of December".
mysteryONG : Early name for SilentONG, before it was revealed that the images came from @SilentTimer.
Okay, there's more than three. I think the mysteryONGs are safe from superraptors. (@slinches, OTT:1635:8)
