Jargon Watch: Spam

Spam: Online Junk Mail. The act of sending out large quantities of unwanted Email messages to Usenet news groups or Listserv discussion lists. The term is derived from a Monty Python skit on Spam in which the word "spam" is repeated at comical lengths in restaurant menu items.

Social Spam: Frivolous Anecdotes or Net jokes. According to the Net etiquette Website (www.fau.edu/netiquette), "All you can really do is tell people who send it that you’re running out of time to read your mail. In The Everything Etiquette Book, Nat Segaloff suggests letting messages accumulate, then responding: "I appreciate your sending these to me, but please be more selective."
