A great new word (really new)

[mousepod]

There's a new word, just coined at Podcamp Pittsburgh, which was held on August 18-19. It's a word that describes email that clutters your inbox but isn't spam. Email from things that you signed up for, but really don't want - like constant email from amazon.com, or myspace, or facebook etc etc

The (very LoT-friendly) word:

"bacn"

[Capt Jack]

:snap:

count me in :)

[innerSpaceman]

I don't get it. What's the etymology? Why does bacn stand for all that type of email?

[Morrigoon]

Better than spam, but still not good for you? Something you want, but not every day?

[innerSpaceman]

Ah, thanks.



Little boy to his mom, as he passes a bunch of sweating swankers on a grueling climb: Ewww, they smell like Bacon!

[Gn2Dlnd]

Ize wants sossages!

'Cause, I gotta tell you, I've got too much bacn right now

[Not Afraid]

Oh. I forgot to post this, didn't I.

[Cadaverous Pallor]

But....but....bacon is a good thing! Bacon is meat candy! The best hyphenated phrase ever is "Bacon-wrapped"!

It simply cannot stand for those pesky subscribed emails. :p
