Confirmation E-mail

noun - Describes any annoying e-mail that includes a "confirmation link" which most online companies or organizations will send to you if you wish to subscribe for their membership services. It will usually cause a new internet browser window to open after clicking the link included in the e-mail. In extreme (but humorous) cases, this could cause slow system response if the computer has too many applications running, or if the person has searched for excessive amounts of porn with their computer.

Person: Yay I subscribed for ultimate porn

Oh I have a confirmation e-mail. How annoying.

*clicks link*

OH NOES! IT OPENED A NEW WINDOW! D:

*Computer crashes* (Due to excess porn or outdated hardware)

T_T I hate it when a new window opens unexpectedly

E-mail Shaming

When fifteen thousand people are copied on an email alerting you, and them, of an error you made.

I was the recipient of e-mail shaming today at work. While I was out sick this week a new hire was approved in our internal system with an incorrect start date. They HR administrator emailed me and the rest of the company to let them know of the mistake and asked me to change it. I may get fired.
