night-mail

(n.) - Email letters and messages that arrive in your inbox overnight while you are sleeping, often from people in different time zones around the world

"Every morning I check my night-mail to see if anything urgent arrived from overseas. With all these time zones worldwide, you never know who is going to email you and when!"

Mail boss

Someone that takes charge of the lowest level job at an office. Counting mail.

I'm supposed to put letters in one pile and checks in another pile so maybe I'd better ask the mail boss for official training.

Mail-in dump

A mail-in dump is a large “finding” of mail in ballots for a political candidate when losing an election. Typically used by the Democratic Party, the mail in dump rose to prominence during the 2020 elections.

Warnock is done by 117,000 votes but don’t worry there’s a large mail-in dump coming at 2am that will secure his win.

The Powerhorse: Oh look, we received it before it actually got sent to us!

The Powerhorse Jr.: That's pre-mail.

The Powerhorse: Thank you, HP Proliant Servers! You're the best! Way to go, accuracy! I love peanut butter chocolate Kashi bars. Have a good one!
