Usage: LOAD action
  Several Multi-User-Dungeon-like aliases are defined here.
  They make use of the ME command, and are transmitted to
  the current channel or the current query via CTCP ACTION.
  Some incomplete client variants might not support this type
  of communication messages.

  These commands can be used with or without an adverb of your
  choice:
    APPLAUD     BOUNCE      CHUCKLE      CLAP
    GIGGLE      GRIN        GROAN        MOAN
    NOD         PURR        SCRATCH      SHRUG
    SIGH        SMILE       WAVE         WINK
    YAWN

  These act differently depending on presence of arguments:
    LAUGH [<how>]
    SING [<lyrics>]

  The following can only be used without arguments.
    BOW         BURP        COUGH        CRY
    GASP        SCREAM      SHIVER       SNAP
    SNEEZE      SNORE       WHISTLE      WIGGLE

  These instead, require a nickname as argument
  (or 'you' if you are in a /query):
    COMFORT     CUDDLE      HUG          KISS
    LOVE        PAT         POKE         SLAP
    SPIT        THANK

  These can be used with or without a nickname:
    DANCE       SHAKE

  Some of these commands use a possessive pronoun, the pronoun
  is generated at loading time depending on the setting of a
  variable 'GENDER'. If you care, you should include a line

    assign gender f

  (or 'm' for male) in your .ircrc before 'load action'.
  However sentences will make sense even if GENDER is undefined.

  New commands have been added which act like 'private-msg actions':
    PING <person> [<beeps to wake person up>]
  and
    PONG <person>
