A flood of private communication from multiple sources that cause sensory overload in the recipient, rendering him or her unable to carry on any of the multiple conversations in a timely manner. So named because in early MMORPGs (such as Everquest) which emphasized such social interaction, the command to send a private message to another user was /tell.

a smart assed response used when someone has asked 'wat the hell?'. of course this is followed by wat is actually the hell.
i.e. Gabby walks in on her sister running about her room like a mad woman.
Gabby: Gwenn, wat the hell?!?!? you look like a retard!
Gwenn: the hell? you want the hell??? i'll tell you the hell. i just ate a bucket of sugar with a shovel!
Gabby: *sigh*
