email-rambling

Def. 1: Like regular verbal rambling, except it's in the form of an email.

Def. 2: Where a person carries on at length about a desired topic in the form of an email. Often not actually making a point about anything at all. And often sent to a close friend, co-worker, or confidant.
Ingrid: Geez, I was so bored at work yesterday.
Edward: Obviously. You were email-rambling about that guy who never called you from last weekend.
Ingrid: Oh, right. Thanks for the reminder.
Edward: Sorry. Email-ramble all you want. We all do it.

Dear John Email

A generic email from HR telling you that you have not received the job you applied for. It contains many of the same elements as a dear John letter. We like you very much, we appreciate that you like us as well, but their are other people that we more interested in seeing.
Joel: Have you heard about that job yet at the hospital?

Kobar: I woke up and found a dear john email in my in-box. Looks like I'll be bagging groceries for the rest of my life.

Joel: Bummer

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.

Emailing The Hop

A phrase used to tell your co-workers when you're heading to the crapper. Non-offensive and suited well for an office environment.

Also a more up to date way to send a fax to Cleveland.
Boss: Where's Hopkins? He's late for the meeting.

Pat: He'll be a little late. He's busy emailing The Hop.

Emailed Up

When someone is angry and they email the co-worker they're pissed at and unnecessarily copy the boss, the boss's boss, the boss's boss's boss, and so forth, all the way to the top. Usually it ends up back-firing.
She was so pissed that the printer didn't work she emailed up all the way to the CEO. Turns out it was out of paper.

Email Adios Snub

A tactic used by people who want to get you off the phone while appearing to take interest in what you have to say.
Yes, I think that's fascinating! Could you email me something that I could share with everyone here? Seriously this is NOT an Email Adios Snub!"
