Thoughts for the day

Slang Words…

Spam

- Pop culture reference point: "Monty Python's Flying Circus" (1970)

These days, "spam" typically refers to junk mail that resides in the lower echelons of your email—or even physical—inbox. Yet the term's origin lies in a 1970 "Monty Python's Flying Circus" sketch, in which all of a restaurant's menu items devolved into "spam," a canned and precooked meat produced by Hormel. Soon, everyone in the restaurant's vicinity begins yelling "spam," which is oddly reminiscent of the feeling of being sent spam emails.
