What's an e-mail? 

Intr. 1. an enuendo having to do with titties
2. a question asked that implies titties
3. Viewing or feeling of the titties

NB while this usually applies to chics, it can be asked by a chic to a dude if she wants him to engage in one of the above definitions

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.

Sacrificial E-mail Account 

An expendable e-mail account which is established for registrational purposes, so as to catch all relative junk mail, keeping the user's primary e-mail account unaffected.

"I just registered with www.girlswithbadbreath.com, but I was smart this time and used my sacrificial e-mail account address - so I won't get all the trash mail (or evidence) in my work e-mail."

sacrificial e-mail account 

An email account, other than a person’s primary e-mail, that a person creates for posting controversial information so then employers, or anyone else, don’t find out about the stuff they post online

Person 1: dude why tf would you post that? You do know that employers trace that shit
Person 2: don’t worry I used my sacrificial e-mail account
Person 1: oh thank god

selective e-mail 

Similar to selective hearing, but when a colleague (usually a Manager) only chooses to respond to e-mails which suit their needs.

Typically, this is because they don't know *how* to respond, as a result of being incompetent.
They do this regardless of the impact their lack of reply has on their staff/colleagues.

Ultimately, they will not be held responsible for their lack of response and the blame will fall on the person who was awaiting their response!

Ben: "Corey, did you get my e-mail last Monday?"
Corey: "Yeah, mate."
Ben: "..... Can you let me know how to move forward on that? I need your guidance."
Corey: "Sure! I'll reply to you when I'm at my desk."
Matt: "Corey won't reply to your e-mail. He has selective e-mail, remember?"
Ben: "Shit."

e-mailsn 

When you and a friend are replying to e-mails at such speed it looks like the two of you are chatting on msn. Must happen accidentally, at the risk of being a bona fide nerd.

Phil receives e-mail from Alex: ''Waddup man, let's kick it this weekend.''

Phil, replying: ''Cool, let's go to this bar I like.''

Alex, replying: ''Aight, let's meet at my place.''

Phil: Mmmh, e-mailsn moment.
