| 1. | e - mail abuse | ||
|
Officially, the misuse of employer provided e - mail. Practically, something that you get accused of when your work want you to leave / block a promotion / sack people without paying redundancy costs etc. Usually ends with being hit with the disciplinary hammer, generally with a view to sacking your ass. Employee is called to a meeting and presented with a pile of e - mails.
Manager: We've audited your inbox and these e - mails are completely unacceptable and represent e - mail abuse and a breach of the Code of Conduct. What did you mean when you wrote 'I'd smack that back door' when writing about my PA? HR Manager: Think carefully about your answer. Sexual Harrasment and non work usage of electronic media is a dismissable offence. Employee: I was referring to her great ass and saying I'd like to show it love. I thought it was flattering. Manager: That's not an appropriate way to behave in a disciplinary hearing. HR Manager: I refer you to your e - mail asking Joe if he had seen the murmur pants on display in Finance. What are murmur pants? Employee: You should know. You told me. HR Manager: This isn't about me. Employee: It's a tight pair of female pants that mean you can see the lips moving but you can't hear a sound. Is there any point in continuing this discussion? HR Manager & Manager No |

To incarcerate someone who anonymously harasses others via E-mail or Web article. An excerpt from the new law listed as Section 113 "Preventing Cyberstalking" under the "Violence Against Women and Department of Justice Reauthorization Act":
"Whoever...utilizes any device or software that can be used to originate telecommunications or other types of communications that are transmitted, in whole or in part, by the Internet... without disclosing his identity and with intent to annoy, abuse, threaten, or harass any person...who receives the communications...shall be fined under title 18 or imprisoned not more than two years, or both." Thanks to Congress a lot of annoying people will likely be e-jailed in the near future. |

Similar to spam, this is a term coined for excessive and unwanted electronic mail abuse within an academic listserv that entails all students and faculty.

Proceeds to argue through mass sent electronic mail, which further adds to the excessive and unwanted messages Gary: Hey Steve, did you check your email this afternoon?
Steve: Yeah, I was SOM*rograded like 10 times. |

| 5. | spammer's paradox | ||
|
Spamming itself may be defined as the abuse of electronic messaging systems, cybernetic or otherwise (including junk faxing, for example), for the purpose of sending unsolicited bulk messages. In order for spamming to succeed, a disproportionately large quantity must be delivered successfully to its recipients, or there will be an insignificant return. Unfortunately for the spammer, it is exactly that large quantity that renders any individual piece of spam less effective: the moment a large enough number of the same piece of spam is sent, the message becomes identifiable as spam by anti-spamware, forcing the spammer to start from scratch with a new spam tactic. This is the so-called "spammer's paradox". Good example: the mass E-mailing of online pharmacy advertising created a spammer's paradox in many large corporations because it only took two instances of the same spam reported to their IT departments for the spamblocker immediately to delete the rest.

| 6. | Narn'd | ||
|
Function: Verb
more...
A term referring to the helplessness and utter desecration of character one experiences while working on, or having worked on, a project for the Walt Disney Company. At its core, the term reflects the simultaneous domination of an individual as well as the aggravation/humiliation of being put into a lose/lose situation despite competence and exceptional job performance prior to working with Disney. The correct usage of the term is only acceptable by third-parties and their affiliates dealing with Disney. Usage of the term by Disney employees is outright, since they are already under the protection of Disney’s blackened wings and will in essence not be held accountable for any mistakes they make while involved with a project. A “project” may refer to anything within the soul stealing scope of the Walt Disney Company which includes, but is not limited to: movies, music, books, clothing/apparel, toys, live entertainment, and even retail. Although one may argue that the term is a direct off-shoot of the now popular slang term pwned (meaning pure annihilation, often to a laughable extent), “Narn’d” is singularly different in that it is applied only within the context of the working world and, more often than not, makes light of a rather serious situation where one’s job/career may very well be on the line at the discretion of the Walt Disney Company, or in most cases, the discretion of... |

Also Known As (AKA) Moocher Syndrome
more...
The epitome of the syndrome is Gollum of the “Lord of the Rings.” He started out as a fairly normal being and was transformed into a hideous monster by his obsession or greed for the ring that could not be quenched. Gollum said things like “We must have the Preciouss !!!” Remember the saying she became so green with jealousy that she became a “green-eyed monster.” There are many phrases that relate to people with this syndrome that can range from 1 to 25 on a scale of 1 to 10. One of the original moochers was Wimpy in the cartoon, Pop Eye, who frequently said “I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today.” They usually take advantage of others generosity, kindness, and call you their “friend” when all they want to do is USE you and ABUSE you, and NEVER LET YOU GO !!! Someone who survives off another’s income. Someone who believes that they are owed something for nothing. One who even if they have their own money, food, clothes, etc. will still use someone else's first. Even if that someone else is more poor. They may appear to be a pauper who lives by begging. If they have possessions, then complain that they are very tight on cash, and need to be paid for anything that they do for the dupe. A scrounger who takes advantage o... |
