I fell really stupid asking this but i'm new to the whole Ally McBeal thing so
here it goes: What exactly does Bygones mean? I've looked through all the web
pages and it's not on the FAQ. Anyone?

not a stupid question at all, tho' i'm surprized it's not in the FAQ! ..
"bygones" simply means Richard is taking back something he said that he
probably shouldn't have said and would like for it to be instantly forgotten by
whoever he said it to... (but, Richard being Richard of course, is going to
say it anyway because he likes to shake people up!)

<Richard making light of Billy's... "predicament": "i had a friend once
thought he had a brain tumor...turns out it was... all in his head....uh,
Bygones!"> ---> not an exact quote, but that's the idea!

Look harder (or use the search feature):

C.13 - What does "Bygones" mean?
Richard Fish often uses the phrase "bygones". It is an abbreviation of
the saying "Let bygones be bygones" which essentially means we will
move on from this issue. Richard uses it to signal that the issue is
closed and he expects both that there will be no hard feelings and that
there will be no further discussion.

Don't feel stupid. Without stupid questions there wouldn't be any
stupid answers.
