Spam
Spam is vernacular or slang for all unsolicited or 'junk' email. The origins of the name are variously attributed to American GI's K rations and the Spam Sketch from the 1970's British cult comedy program Monty Python's Flying Circus.
Wherever the name comes from is, to the average email user only of passing interest. What's more relevant is where the junk email comes from and how to stop it cluttering up their inbox
