A great new word (really new)
 
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:

Spoiler:
"bacn"

count me in :)

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

Morrigoon 08-24-2007 08:10 PM

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

innerSpaceman 08-24-2007 08:46 PM

Ah, thanks.



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

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

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
