Whilst "SPAM" is suprisingly not a euphanism.

Yes it is. SPAM stands for Spam Posts not Appreciated Mister (or Ms. or Mrs. or...)
However, if someone asks: Are you SPAMming?, it usually means Are you Still Posting Aweful/Adolescent Messages?.

Another one you'll see a lot here is IW. That means Ironworks in these parts

But if SPAM stands for Spam Posts not Appreciated Mister, wouldn`t that become: Spam Posts not Appreciated Mister Posts not Appreciated Mister?

And then:

Spam Posts not Appreciated Mister Spam Posts not Appreciated Mister Spam Posts not Appreciated Mister Posts not Appreciated Mister?

Anyway the whole idea of SPAM is weird. [img]graemlins/spam2.gif[/img]
