spam headlines

I just deleted unread something like 130 messages from a web-based
account I don't use much. Here are some of the more interesting or
puzzling subject headers:


"Introducing the NEW Phaser 8200."
Sweet! I've always wanted a phaser.


Here's a category of which I had previously been ignorant:
"NEW INTERRACIAL VIOLENCE !!!"

This sort of clears up a question I'd had, although the acronym doesn't
seem quite to work, and I hate that apostrophe-plural thing:
"M.I.L.F = Mom's I Want To F-ck"


The world of porn is so twisted that even language breaks down:

"Yes, yes, yes! I was found it! Just see...."

"where the toilet?"

"tissues and flog!"


Financial spam is often puzzling:

"Quick Cash - Card Enclosed!"

"$250,000... as low as $6.50 per month. ..."
(unabridged)


One porn spam was entitled "Winter in July," which I noted just as I was listening to "I'll fall with your knife."
Eerie.

It jumped into common parlance thanks to the movie American Pie. At least that's where I got it from.

Ah. Haven't seen that flick yet.

Incidentally, notification of your post arrived in my inbox directly following a message entitled, "Hot MILFs on the trot." (I've heard of "hot TO trot," but never "...ON THE trot." All sorts of new and exciting directions for the English language here.)

"M.I.L.F = Mom's I Want To F-ck"
