The ability to tell in general how old someone is by their email domain.
President Barack Obama once said that baby boomers "Cling to their guns, religion, and AOL.com email domains" - This references the fact that no one below the age of 50 still uses AOL. The baby boomer generation, like most senior citizens of their time, are known for their frugality. That is to say, they are cheapskates. However none of them seem to be able to figure out that free email accounts are widely available and they don't have to pay for it through AOL anymore.
Gen X'ers often stick to hotmail.com or yahoo.com. They don't want to risk coming off the Pearl Jam or Third Eye Blind mailing lists.
Gen Y'ers stick to gmail.com. As are a few forward thinking Gen X'ers (*those whose hotmail or yahoo accounts got hacked at Y2K)
The millennials are just too fuckin' hip to be defined by their email. They just communicate with each other through twitter...I mean snapchat...oh wait that was so last week, how do I find out if my beard and skullcap are still in?
(Woman, to man at a bar) Hi handsome? Nice beard, spectacle glasses, plaid sportcoat, and tight-fitting jeans with the cuffs rolled up. Can I email you?
(Man) LOL!!
(Woman) Well if you change your mind, I'm lesliesmith@aol.com
(Man) Cougar!
(Woman) OMG he knows my email generation
A phenomenon that occurs when you send an email to someone at the same time that they email you. Both of you then answer the other's emails and you go out of sync - creating two strands of conversation that occasionally cover the same ground.
Quite irritating, but not really much you can do about it other than wait for the other person to get both mails and think that you aren't replying anymore.
"Hi I think our emails are crossing again"
--
"Sure I'm up for playing naked chess with you later"
--
"Did you get my last email?"
--
"Oh, are they?"
--
"Naked what?"

someone who acts all tough on email but aren't in real life
That email gangster told me she could beat me up in her email, but when I met her in person, she was too scared to fight me.

An email written for the recipient to forward to someone else.
Bill wanted me to introduce him to a friend who was hiring. I had him write me a forwardable email.
using email to back out or ditch on plans, dates and even relationships.
he didn't want a confrontation so he decided to email bail on the chick he promised to call last night.

An email account you give out freely but don't really use.
Wendy: "I can't believe you gave them your email, you're gonna get spammed up the wazoo!"
Jim: "Don't worry, it's just my slut email."

Acting with bravado over email when in a face to face situation the emailer would be in a subservient position.
Related to beer muscles where the internet is substituted for alcohol.
Can also take the form of “message board muscles”
Example: a man in an email to his friends claims his wife does what she is told. In reality the man is a follower. Dave has email muscles when it comes to his wife.
