SPAM

There are three types of spam:

1) The canned meat, stylized as SPAM, which became especially popular directly following its use in World War II.
2) On the internet, typed simply as "spam", it is when a single entity or multiple entities with a general idea repeatedly send messages to one person. These can be either as advertising, in order to entice the target to buy something, or simply to annoy the target in a playful way.
3) In video gaming, to use some sort of tool, item, or move with no cooldown repeatedly. It is most commonly practiced in First Person Shooters when the player encounters a tight situation, causing them to flip out and mash the button to unleash some sort of weapon many, many times.

Here's some more elaboration, if you would like some:

(1) Personally, I've never eaten SPAM, so I can't give you any idea of how it tastes.
(2) Advertising spam and internet scamming often go hand-in-hand. For some reason the Nigerian princes and people who want to... "enhance your passionate experiences" don't think they can trick you with just one crappy, misspelt message.
(3) The most commonly spammed type of weapon is the grenade, although depending on the game and genre other items may take this spot.
(1) Alfredo: "What are you eating?"
Teddy: "I'm just eating some SPAM because I'm lazy."

(2) Hannah: "For the love of all the good things in the world, this company will NOT STOP spamming me with messages!"

(3) Eddie: "Oh, shoot, bro... look out for that tank! Spam your grenades and run as fast as you can!"

Spam bots "Click of this dubious link and or call this mysterious number. I'm not going to rob you. I swear. Yeah I know I only have one subscriber and the account has only existed for a week. But you can trust me."

Hym "Eeehhhhh.... No. If anyone wanted to get a hold of me they would add me on Facebook. Why would I fall for that? Why would I even think for a second that was real? Go away. You're annoying."

game spam

Announcements (primarily on Facebook) that "so and so has reached level 75 on Farmville, (or Cafe World, Mafia Wars or whatever game) and they want you to share the prize". To fellow game players they give you a chance to pick up special items for free, but to non-gamers they only litter someone's home page and give you page after page of announcements that you don't care about. These announcements are usually created automatically by the application.

It is simple to block the announcements from any given application, but many people take the easy way out and unfriend the game player, thereby missing out on other worthwhile items the game player may post.
Joe, did you unfriend me on Facebook?

Yeah, I was getting sick of all that game spam.

You know you can turn it off!

Keyboard Spam

A keyboard spam is when someone smashes random letters on their keyboard, whether it be via mobile, desktop, or otherwise. Most of the time, keyboard spams have no literal connotation, they're just... Well, spams.
Someone could keyboard spam for various reasons. I, personally, keyboard spam when one of my friends says something that makes my brain go "alkajskahsuejsbsjd." But you could also spam out of frustration, excitement, speechlessness, embarrassment, or just pure boredom.
Keyboard spams can be followed by or placed after sentences (coherent or not), or just by themselves.
*Keyboard spam example: Flustered*
Friend 1: "Thanks, Darling. :)"
Friend 2: "akhekshrkegjevrj WHAG DID YOU JUST CALL ME"

*Keyboard spam example: Boredom*
Friend 1: "I'm bored.
Friend 2: "kssjebsjshdje"
Friend 1: "Same bro, same."
