Spitting tobacco on someone’s computer
I didn’t like the way the rental agent talked to me so when he stepped away, I sent an Alabama email over the counter.
When your coworker does not respond to the latest reply of an email thread, the discussion becomes forked between his reply and the latest. The fork is more severe when an email volley is accumulating participants, and you get left out. in which case, you'll hope someone will loop you in. the fork could be unintentional if the forker is just a slow-ass chicken pecker. but if he has a rep of being a habitual threadjacker, it is probably not
To avoid an email fork of the thread with a client, Becky sent Chad a DM that she was drafting a response to the client's latest questions.
A person who writes an aggressive and/or offensive email to one or multiple people, pointing the 'finger of blame' and/or undermining them, then when they see these people in person, they act as if nothing has happened.
Jo sends an email to Kate stating:
"Hi Kate, Your suggestion for the end of year celebration sounds boring so we're going to go with my other idea. Jo."
Then when Jo walks into the kitchen at the same time as Kate, Jo acts like Kate's best friend, "Hey Kate, How are things in your area today?"... Kate thinks Jo is an idiot and coward.
Jo has been an Email Hero - Tough in email, gutless in person.
A person that doesn't responds to email within a reasonable amount of time.
Email a question to a person. If that person doesn't respond within a reasonable amount of time then that person can be considered an email mute.
(n.) Usually elaborately designed emails with webpage-like functionality, written with HTML (the language of the World Wide Web) rather than standard plaintext or basic formatted text, frequently used in corporate newsletters for a 'professional' appearance. Because email clients (especially Gmail) completely ignore W3C standards, these emails require a horrific mutilation of HTML and CSS, imposing coding atrocities such as nested <table> elements, an extremely limited number of supported image formats, inline CSS, discarded doctypes, character encoding declarations, and even the <head> element, deprecated HTML attributes for formatting, and complex workarounds for basic styling such as background images. Not only does the horrible markup appear like it is from 1996, it is rendered differently in different clients, making an email in Yahoo Mail look different from an email in Hotmail. Good HTML email is almost impossible for all but the best of webpage designers, and prevents use by disabled people who rely on screen reader software. Although HTML emails can look amazing if designed carefully, the current HTML email rendering is the most terrifying tragedy to ever disgrace the World Wide Web since Internet Explorer 6 (the anti-Christ of web browsers).
Also spelled as HTML e-mail.
(cf. HTML, e-mail)
normal person: Damn, this HTML email has some chill graphics, I wish I could make my emails look like this. I love HTML emails!
webpage coder: Dafuq? Composing an HTML email is impossible! None of the CSS positioning works, and I can't even add a background image! I hate creating HTML emails! Good thing I'm getting paid mad skrilla to design this...
coder from 1996 (poor bastard): Whatevs, this is just like coding a normal HTML webpage from 1996 in MS-DOS edlin...
When one person sends an email to another person, but they don't know the answer so they forward on to someone else they think is the right person to deal with the problem, that person in turn also doesn't know and once again forwards the email on to another person. This chain keeps on going until someone with the knowledge and expertise gets the forwarded email and eventually answers the question or sorts out the problem. All other people in the email chain are simply part of the relay of getting the baton (the email) to the last person who can cross over the finish line
The CEO Pierre sent an email to Antoine asking him for some figures for his work. Antoine doesn't have this information but thinks Gisele in Performance team might know and forwards this email on to her. Gisele also doesn't know but forwards the email onto Elena in Reporting team. Elena also doesn't know but forwards it on to Gary in Data Admin. Gary does in fact have a list of the figures Steve is requesting and so answers Pierre with the information required and thus finishing the email relay
When you receive an email you know is going to be so bad, you don't want to look but have to.
Monica: That guy is pissing me off. I know he's going to have sent a stupid email back, I and don't want to read it!
Phoebe: That sucks! But you better get back and read that roadkill email, so you can get back to him.
