| 2. | email forwards | ||
|
Email forwards tend to be generated by nincompoops. They seem to believe that email domains/businesses/ghosts can track your emails and see how many people you send them to.
Often people believe ill babies will get money from AOL. Or perhaps that sending it to 30 people will grant a wish of your choice, improve your luck and or sex life. The worst part of this phenomenon is that many people believe it. Please don't join them. "I didn't send this on, now I'm dead"

| 4. | power forward | ||
|
A basketball player also noted as a "4" or "PF". They are commonly large players tasked with playing in the low post to grab rebounds, block shots, score and/or defend.
However, the typical power forward has evolved into being a more well-rounded player who is not only capable of the aforementioned duties but also able to shoot a midrange jumper, pass and/or defend attackers at the wing. Many power forwards can also play the "Center" or "Small Forward" position. Some of the NBA's greatest power forwards: Karl Malone, Kevin Garnett, Tim Duncan, Charles Barkley, Kevin McHale and Wes Unseld

| 5. | big men | ||
|
Players on a basketball team that are very tall. This term usually applies to centers or the "5" (who can easily be at least 7'0" tall) but can also apply to power forwards (also called the "4") or forward-centers (combination power-forwards/centers). College Basketball fan #1: I can't believe that the coach keeps on using a 4-guard rotation! Our opponents have an 80% field goal percentage from inside the arc, and the team has absolutely no inside presence! In other words, if the team can't hit at least 50% of their 3-pointers, they will almost always lose, even at home.
College Basketball fan #2: We really need more big men. Tell Coach J to recruit some power forwards and centers instead of filling 4 out of the 5 new yearly spots with point guards and shooting guards. |

| 6. | Emordrome | ||
|
a word, number, phrase, sentence, or full-length novel that can be read the same backwards and forwards.
an (arguably) better version of the word palindrome since emordrome, itself, is an emordrome. variations to maintain the self-referential character include: semordromes, cimordromic, etc. poop is my favorite emordrome.

| 7. | [blasting][my][box] | ||
|
The act of sending numerous emails, forwards and/or spam-like missives to one's Inbox, often prefaced with, "I don't usually do this, but I thought this one was worth it." After receiving several email fwds from a person, one might say, "Dude, you gotta stop blastingmybox."
This person is then a "Box blaster." Should this be a separate entry? Or, if you're following up with someone, you might write, "Sorry to keep blasting your box, but I wonder if you've had a chance to look at my work." |
