n. Internet. Unsolicited content, generally commercial in tone, inserted into email, newsgroups, blog and wiki comments, and HTML metatags, often clogging networks and annoying humans. v. To create and send spam. [Coined after a Monty Python skit that repeated a reference to a canned pork product, ad nauseum.]
