Emailer's Remorse

When sending an email, the gut-wrenching feeling of guilt after clicking send. Can be caused by inappropriate or overly emotional content, or just embarrassing spelling or grammatical errors. Such content may be the result of intoxication, but the terrible feeling is more likely to occur when one is sober.
Girl A: I just emailed my ex-boyfriend a poem about how much I still love him....AND I just noticed I used the wrong form of there/their!

Girl B: That is some serious emailer's remorse

Drunk Email

Drunk emailing (drailing): while completely inebriated you foolishly believe 1) You're a prolific writer. 2) You're Poetic. 3) You're a comedian. 4) Not saving your sent messages will save you from complete and total embarassment - this only leads you to wonder what the heck you actually did say after typing for two hours. 5) Spell check hides your obvious drunkenness.
Sending a drunk email at 2am after drinking a 40 ouncer of vodka and hoping to endear yourself to your new man (or woman) by revealing past sexual exploits, and foolishing thinking he/she would be turned on after reading how you 'made it' with the entire band.

But her emails

The mocking phrase used to water down and oversimplify the general point being made in an attempt to dismiss the severity of Hillary Clinton's preferential treatment at the hands of the FBI, back in 2015 when she was subpoenaed by Congress to turn over government emails that she illegally hosted on a private server that led to concerns over national security.

Clinton destroyed all devices containing any information related to the emails and wiped all of her servers in a blatant defiance of the subpoena, another illegal act that also went miraculously unprosecuted by the FBI and DOJ.

The point in Trump supporters bringing this up in relation to Trump being pursued on the documents he is accused of illegally possessing, is to compare the hypocritical ignorance of the left and democratic political spectrum with the situation at hand as Trump allegedly declassified the documents as sitting President while Hillary had not once ever stepped into the Oval Office.

The phrase "but her emails" serves to mock Trump supporters over Hillary taking advantage of the two-tiered justice system that ignores blatant democrat illegality and fabricates republican illegality.
Person 1: "Trump had documents at his Mar-A-Lago residence! That's illegal!"
Person 2: "That's not illegal because he declassified them. But even if it were, what about Hillary's emails?"
Person 1: "bUt HeR eMaIlS"
Person 2: "That's not an argument. If you're going to go after Trump, you need to address what Hillary did or we're not taking you seriously."

email courier

An individual who gets up from their chair at their desk to walk to someone else's desk to announce the contents of the email, verbatim. Completely replacing the need for any automated email 'you've got mail' alert , or the email at all for that matter.
Dave: "Kristen, I just sent you an email to let you know to switch the address in the document and to take out the comma before the word 'and' in the second line of the second paragraph on the third page."

Kristen: "For the love of god, please just email it to me and stay in your chair. There is no need to be a email courier, the send button and the internet do that for you. "

Email Poker

Adding names of people with increasing levels of power in an organization to the CC line on an email on each reply, thereby upping the “ante” of the email’s audience. This generally results in an email that should only be between 2 or 3 people having a CC line with 20 names on it and 87 replies.
Joe didn't like Mary's reply to his email, so he started a round of "Email Poker" by CCing her boss. “I’ll see your project manager and raise you a vice president.”
