Email terrorist

Somebody who bombards your email inbox with (mostly) unnecessary messages. They are most common at work, since you are unlikely to remain friends with such a person in a social capacity. The volume of emails is such that it detracts focus from the key tasks you are looking to undertake whilst on your PC.
Dan: Jees, where's my report already?
Dave: I'm trying, man, but I can't focus. It's Sarah Braun, she's such an email terrorist.

email volley

When you have a back-and-forth email "conversation" with someone, and each of you keeps adding to the quoted thread with new information. The email go back and forth like a long-lasting volly during a volleyball game.

2. Sending cc emails to anyone in order to prove a point, asking idiotic questions with poor grammar, Exclamation points!!!!!!!!!!

Email It

A link that almost nobody uses, found underneath every definition in Urban Dictionary. To the left of the "email it" button is the date (month,dd,yyyy) that this particular word was added.

When "email it" is clicked, a javascript interface will pop open below the text you plan to email. This blue box contains permalink information, an "add to del.icio.us" link, and the usual "email-to friend" fields. In the latter, you need to type both yours and your friend's email address.

You also have the option of signing up to their "Word of the Day" feature while you're at it, and they assure you that they won't give out your address. Over all, it's a good system and if you ever come across a funny word (i.e. fart), you can easily share the laugh with your mates.
Sebastian: Below this line of text, to the left, sets an undisturbed "email it" button.
Cody: Awesome. I'll give it a click.

email event horizon

The bottom of the list of emails in your inbox that you can see on one screen without scrolling or clicking to the next page. Once an email slips to the next screen, the likelihood of a response is significantly diminished.
Sorry, it took so long to get back to you. It was kind of a crazy week and once your email slipped below the event horizon I completely spaced.
