@MitchW Cheers! I just really can’t get enough of this kind of stuff, jargon and argot and slang, especially in the domain of computing and espionage and related. Interesting anthropological data: spam is canned meat, then an absurdist insider joke, now the 'proper’ term for unwanted electronic messages. Later it might be “our bodies when asleep, 'I spammed out for 12 hours!‘”
