Email trains

when you form a chat-like conversation over the email with one or more people by simply replying again and again to the same message. Each reply is usually a question or something thought-provoking, prompting the other person to respond as well. They can get pretty long.
"dude, here they don't allow chatting on the school computers, so i usually get by talking to her with these huge-ass email trains each morning."

email roulette

This is when you sit with your email account open, continually refreshing the page to see if you have received any new mail.

The instant that you hit the 'refresh' button and spontaneously receive a new email is the defining moment in email roulette, accompanied by a surge of adrenaline and sense of wonder/curiousity with regard to the new message.
Hey dude, wanna go hit up some sluts?

Nah fuck it. I'd rather stay at home and play email roulette.

But you have no friends?....

Ah, touche.
