mythology-y

adj. The Buffy generation's version of "sorta-mythological."

Real citation: "As for the moniker, at last night's LA show the question came up again, and we got a pretty firm response from Verheiden that it was purely an aesthetic decision, made at the last minute--they thought 'Zeus' sounded 'too mythology-y' and preferred the rhythm of 'Jupiter.'"

Made-up citation: "'By Thor's hammer!' is a mythology-y exclamation. 'Holy monkey balls!' is not."
