Panic Spam

When an individual is desperate for information or an answer to a question to the point where he or she will send an email to everyone in their address book (or in the case of the enterprise organization - multiple distribution lists) leveraging all of the urgent features of the email program including starting the subject line with an exclamation mark (!)
When someone is in the field, and really under pressure they are going to send an email to every distribution list they can find, and it does not matter how many times you say this DL is for X,Y or Z. They will still do it. The problem is - Panic spam is not productive and having a single email for all technical discussions is great for a company with under 50 employees. Some of us already get a lot of email and like to leverage rules to optimize our inboxes and prioritize discussion.

Netáhlíno Panicitida

Commonly known as The Extreme virginity behaviour syndrome.

Loosely translated from Czech language as Ain'tpullo Virginitidus, is a rare disease that affects (mostly) men in ages between 16 and 23. I has not yet been discovered by public and medical proffesionals, therefore it's not yet fully researched. However, a group of Czech analysts, who discovered it, did some research and found out about its drastic symptoms (simptoms).

Person rather chooses to ditch previously set up plans with the boys, only to be with his partner, which directly violates the first and the most important rule of the Bro code: "Bros before hoes." Also he can't go anywhere without his partner.

This was discovered by a company of a few Czech intelectuals, who started to see these symptoms on one of the boys.

Patient zero: codename "Nyprd"
A: "Jde s námi hrát counter-strike?" (Is he gonna play Counter-Strike with us?)
B: "Ne, trápí ho Netáhlíno Panicitida." (No, he probably has Ain'tpullo Virginitidus.)
A: "Panic." (Virgin.)

moral panic

an overwrought public anxiety that evil things are afoot. The term seems to have been coined by Jock Young in 1971.* The most obvious example of an ancient moral panic is the blood libel.

Other famous examples of moral panics include the 1955 Boise scandal, in which three cases of lewd conduct between men and teenaged boys, plus a noxious editorial, triggered a general war against homosexual men. In the early 1930's, the Federal Bureau of Narcotics (FBN) launched a public relations effort to have federal laws passed banning the use of marijuana; it was driven by a jurisdictional struggle between Harry Anslinger (FBN) and J. Edgar Hoover (FBI). The campaign was a success; it not only achieved the desired legislation, but created a wave of mass hysteria about the "threat" of marijuana.
