Email Strain

It started as a typo for ‘email chain’. It has been related to the shear number of emails one may receive on in given work day.

As in, “Boy, I sure have a case of ‘Email Strain’ today.”

email club

noun. A group with which one exchanges emails regarding information, whether relevant and meaningful or random and inconsequential. Note: Most emails are exchanged during work hours, but after-hours email clubbing is allowed when issues of great importance or great randomness occur.

Why is that 40-year-old woman wearing stripper heels at Costco? The email club needs to hear about this.

Email-happy

Someone who sends shitloads of emails to all their friends. It's like Inbox-happy but from the other angle.
An email-happy person clogs up your inbox with stupid short messages or links to viral videos.

She is such an email-happy moron, she really pisses me off. Last week she sent me the same email three times, and they were about sandwiches.
