Alabama email

Spitting tobacco on someone’s computer

I didn’t like the way the rental agent talked to me so when he stepped away, I sent an Alabama email over the counter.

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

pocket-email 

To unknowingly email someone from your blackberry or email device, while it is is your pocket, purse, or manbag. Similar to pocket-call.

I pocket-emailed my boss while mountain biking after calling in sick. Now he wants to know what "V*qw" means, and why I'm so sunburned.

cold email 

Email equivalent of a cold call.

I cold emailed a potential client about building her website. She replied, "I have no idea what you're talking about. API? Hooked up to WordPress? Stop geek barking at me. Will it have sparkles?"

f-email 

Email - usually about nothing important and/or containing pictures of babies, cute animals, or other such schmaltzy stuff - from a significant other, sister, or mother.

Most men would rather die than read too much f-email.

I'll read it later, it's just f-email.
