email

Once an efficient and fast method of communication and message transferring, now a way of harassing Internet users with spam, credit card/insurance offers, porn links, and "Increase Your Penis Size By 5 Inches" advertizements.
Despite using a junk email filtering program, it is still a chore to delete 30+ messages a day.

email generation

The ability to tell in general how old someone is by their email domain.

President Barack Obama once said that baby boomers "Cling to their guns, religion, and AOL.com email domains" - This references the fact that no one below the age of 50 still uses AOL. The baby boomer generation, like most senior citizens of their time, are known for their frugality. That is to say, they are cheapskates. However none of them seem to be able to figure out that free email accounts are widely available and they don't have to pay for it through AOL anymore.

Gen X'ers often stick to hotmail.com or yahoo.com. They don't want to risk coming off the Pearl Jam or Third Eye Blind mailing lists.

Gen Y'ers stick to gmail.com. As are a few forward thinking Gen X'ers (*those whose hotmail or yahoo accounts got hacked at Y2K)

The millennials are just too fuckin' hip to be defined by their email. They just communicate with each other through twitter...I mean snapchat...oh wait that was so last week, how do I find out if my beard and skullcap are still in?

(Man) LOL!!
(Woman) Well if you change your mind, I'm lesliesmith@aol.com
(Man) Cougar!

Email Crossing

A phenomenon that occurs when you send an email to someone at the same time that they email you. Both of you then answer the other's emails and you go out of sync - creating two strands of conversation that occasionally cover the same ground.

Quite irritating, but not really much you can do about it other than wait for the other person to get both mails and think that you aren't replying anymore.
"Hi I think our emails are crossing again"

--

"Sure I'm up for playing naked chess with you later"

--

"Did you get my last email?"

--

"Oh, are they?"

--

"Naked what?"
