Spam
Is often described as unwanted email and Junk mail however this is not technically true...
Spam is the method of collecting an email address of the Internet to therefore advertise and send messages.
Hence the mail you get in your inbox is therefore unwanted.
Spam collection can be reduced by:
Not posting your email online
Using words not symbols i.e "at" not @
The reason you get the unwanted emails is because of the process of spam, which as described is when companies or software collect email address that have been posted on the web.
You get such email by:
Posting your address online
Given your information to a company that has permission to sell on your data to others.

The meat product in a can... made from the choicest selected pork sections? Or the flooding of the Internet and your email inbox with unsolicited junk mail (equivilent to US mail junk mail). Spammers usually send the junk email from servers that automate the process for them, so they can distribute thousands of garbage emails every few seconds. Problems caused by SPAM include your email box being cluttered with crap you never asked for, and the unnecessary slow-down of the Internet transferring all the same crap to millions of people. Good thing SPAM is only virtual junk mail, or our landfills would be running into the strrets.

1. Canned meat. Extremely cheap (considering)
2. Unsolicited mail/e-mail sent out in mass quantities. Usually not even addressed by name to the person who receives it.
3. In gaming, refers to a player who throws grenades indiscriminately, many at a time. Generally an issue in Team Fortress. Although lately has been expanded to include any overused gun/combo/move/tactic/etc .
