6 spam
1. E-comunsolicited bulk e-mail, usually sent for commercial purposes. Spam is used by some companies as a cheap form of advertising, although it is generally considered offensive and unwelcome by the Internet community. Sending spam is regarded as unethical because the cost is paid by the recipient’s site or server, not the sender’s. Various Internet bodies campaign against spam and those individuals or organizations accused of spamming. The term may originate from a sketch in the U.K. comedy program Monty Python in which customers at a “greasy spoon” café are served the canned meat Spam with everything, regardless of whether it was part of their order, or may simply derive from the preexisting use of the word to represent something, like the rations available to soldiers in World War II, that is plentiful and unappetizing.
