email shrapnel

Email shrapnel is a collection of partially written, un-finished, and most importantly unsent emails that collect, most of the time in outlook, during a particularly busy day or week.

The danger of having too much email shrapnel at any given time is that your outlook crashes and you lose those emails that you intended to send.

I need to get rid of the email shrapnel on my computer before I leave work for the weekend.

Timeclock Email

When a super-keener at work sends an email to a co-worker or boss to show how late they've stayed at work. The content of the email is usually non-essential or downright frivolous.

Email sent at 6:45- "Hi Boss, just an update on the to-do list you gave me - it's now complete" "Thanks for the Timeclock Email underling."

email-text

A long, almost letter like email sent via text message.

It takes forever to read the email-text Brandy sends me!

mom emails

Your typical viral or spam email (or cyberprop) meant to either scare or amaze gullible or trustworthy people, who believe anything on the internet, and so get sent to you by your mom. The Mom emails that are making outlandish claims usually can be dis-proven by snopes.com. They most often contain large bolded text and have something to do with either politics or chemicals in house hold products. You will usually receive 3-4 of these emails at one time as moms don't check and send their emails as often.

AKA: an unsuspecting spammer... only it's your mom, and she doesn't send you enlargement adds.

NOTE: The content of these emails can also include not so funny jokes, or mildly amusing/amazing photos.

Mom emails include large bolded text like:

"PLEASE FORWARD TO ALL OF YOUR FRIENDS."

"DOES ANYONE OUT THERE KNOW HOW WE CAN STOP THIS....."
"I'm not breaking this one. If I get it a 1000 times, I'll forward it a 1000 times!"
