email fork

When your coworker does not respond to the latest reply of an email thread, the discussion becomes forked between his reply and the latest. The fork is more severe when an email volley is accumulating participants, and you get left out. in which case, you'll hope someone will loop you in. the fork could be unintentional if the forker is just a slow-ass chicken pecker. but if he has a rep of being a habitual threadjacker, it is probably not
To avoid an email fork of the thread with a client, Becky sent Chad a DM that she was drafting a response to the client's latest questions.

roadkill email

When you receive an email you know is going to be so bad, you don't want to look but have to.
Monica: That guy is pissing me off. I know he's going to have sent a stupid email back, I and don't want to read it!

Phoebe: That sucks! But you better get back and read that roadkill email, so you can get back to him.

kill'emalism

The ideology that in order for the earth to advance at the most efficient rate, those impoverished should be eliminated.

Edit: Also referred to as "awesomism".
The vast majority of populous countries are a burden on the rapidly advancing global economy. A following under the kill'emalism regime is the most viable solution to the declining state of the world.

HTML email

(n.) Usually elaborately designed emails with webpage-like functionality, written with HTML (the language of the World Wide Web) rather than standard plaintext or basic formatted text, frequently used in corporate newsletters for a 'professional' appearance. Because email clients (especially Gmail) completely ignore W3C standards, these emails require a horrific mutilation of HTML and CSS, imposing coding atrocities such as nested <table> elements, an extremely limited number of supported image formats, inline CSS, discarded doctypes, character encoding declarations, and even the <head> element, deprecated HTML attributes for formatting, and complex workarounds for basic styling such as background images. Not only does the horrible markup appear like it is from 1996, it is rendered differently in different clients, making an email in Yahoo Mail look different from an email in Hotmail. Good HTML email is almost impossible for all but the best of webpage designers, and prevents use by disabled people who rely on screen reader software. Although HTML emails can look amazing if designed carefully, the current HTML email rendering is the most terrifying tragedy to ever disgrace the World Wide Web since Internet Explorer 6 (the anti-Christ of web browsers).
Also spelled as HTML e-mail.
(cf. HTML, e-mail)
normal person: Damn, this HTML email has some chill graphics, I wish I could make my emails look like this. I love HTML emails!

webpage coder: Dafuq? Composing an HTML email is impossible! None of the CSS positioning works, and I can't even add a background image! I hate creating HTML emails! Good thing I'm getting paid mad skrilla to design this...

coder from 1996 (poor bastard): Whatevs, this is just like coding a normal HTML webpage from 1996 in MS-DOS edlin...
