fwam

forwarded spam; the jokes, warnings, agendas, digital chain-letters and political spam forwarded by well meaning, but frenzied and perhaps over-caffinated friends and family who believe that forwarding email is the same as connecting with someone on a personal basis. Fwam defeats spam filters because you don't really want to block all emails from your friends and family.

I received the same fwam joke from three different sources in the last hour alone!
