| Yoni | I just found out about this today. http://www.spam.com/ci/ci_in.htm [quote]Use of the term "spam" was adopted as a result of the Monty Python skit in which our SPAM meat product was featured. In this skit, a group of Vikings sang a chorus of "spam, spam, spam . . . " in an increasing crescendo, drowning out other conversation. Hence, the analogy applied because UCE was drowning out normal discourse on the Internet. [/quote] I have, of course, seen this sketch, but didn't know the Internet slang term emerged from it. Amazing. :) | December 25, 2003, 12:47 AM |
