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.

Get the Netáhlíno Panicitida mug.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.

Get the Panic Load mug.The panic that ensues in a situation when one realizes that he has an extremely limited amount of time to hide or minimize porn before being caught. Often occures late at night when one thinks he is alone to enjoy porn but is alerted to the sound of someone approaching. In the days before the wide spread use of PC's, this panic was often defined by the sound of magazines being shuffled into a drawer or thrown under a bed. If one's reaction time is too slow, this can lead to being caught red handed.
