Pronounced "mee-may." Short for meter maids, the folks who check to see if you haven't paid the meter or are otherwise parked illegally---and then fine you.
I parked on King Street for five Goddamned minutes and wound up with a $45 ticket. I swear, man---the me-mai is worse than the po-po.
A self-centred e-mail, which talks in detail about your weekend, your relationships or how you are feeling etc, the contents of which are likely to be irrelevant to its recipients or are written purely as a form of self-therapy. Can be ambigiously friendly or malicious - within a close-knit group me-mails may be written to alleviate feelings of status envy in the sender or to attempt to invoke those feelings in its recipients.
Hi guys, had a FANTASTIC weekend. It's going SO well with me and John - I just can't get enough of him! Don't want to pour cold wataer on it but I think he's going to propose soon!! I know I'm so lucky to have met him, and he's so rich too. We went to the most amazing restaurant on Saturday and then he drove me all the way down the coast just for afternoon tea. How lucky am I?! Can't believe it's Monday already though - still, only a few more days till the weekend!! Can't wait!!!! Janet x
Me-mail is impersonal bulk-mailed brags and boasts, electronic or otherwise, whose self-promotional nature glorifies the sender and irritates the recipient.
Example: "He's drowning me in me-mail. I know more about his job, promotions, relationships, holiday visits and vacation plans that I know about my own--and I'd just as soon not!"

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing pee calculus.
Short-hand for the word floccinaucinihilipilification, meaning the estimation of something as valueless (encountered mainly as an example of one of the longest words in the English language).
