"etymology_text": "The original sense (canned ham) is a proprietary name registered by Geo. A. Hormel & Co. in U.S., 1937. It is presumed to be a conflation of either \"spiced ham\" or \"shoulder of pork and ham\" but was soon extended to other kinds of canned meat. Hormel spells the trademarked name in all upper case.\nThe use for unsolicited and unwanted email derives from a Monty Python sketch (Flying Circus, Episode 25). In the 1970 sketch, a group of Vikings in a restaurant repeatedly chant the word \"spam\". The earliest recorded real-life use for this sense occurs around 1993 which finds reference in a newsgroup post dated March 31, 1993.\nThe term appears to have been used earlier in a different sense in relation to \"Multi-User Dungeons\" (MUDs), a kind of multi-user computer gaming environment before widespread use of the Internet, in the 1980s.",

"text": "In America alone, people spent $170 billion on “direct marketing”—junk mail of both the physical and electronic varieties—last year. Yet of those who received unsolicited adverts through the post, only 3% bought anything as a result. If the bumf arrived electronically, the take-up rate was 0.1%. And for online adverts the “conversion” into sales was a minuscule 0.01%. That means about $165 billion was spent not on drumming up business, but on annoying people, creating landfill and cluttering spam filters.",

"etymology_text": "The original sense (canned ham) is a proprietary name registered by Geo. A. Hormel & Co. in U.S., 1937. It is presumed to be a conflation of either \"spiced ham\" or \"shoulder of pork and ham\" but was soon extended to other kinds of canned meat. Hormel spells the trademarked name in all upper case.\nThe use for unsolicited and unwanted email derives from a Monty Python sketch (Flying Circus, Episode 25). In the 1970 sketch, a group of Vikings in a restaurant repeatedly chant the word \"spam\". The earliest recorded real-life use for this sense occurs around 1993 which finds reference in a newsgroup post dated March 31, 1993.\nThe term appears to have been used earlier in a different sense in relation to \"Multi-User Dungeons\" (MUDs), a kind of multi-user computer gaming environment before widespread use of the Internet, in the 1980s.",

"etymology_text": "The original sense (canned ham) is a proprietary name registered by Geo. A. Hormel & Co. in U.S., 1937. It is presumed to be a conflation of either \"spiced ham\" or \"shoulder of pork and ham\" but was soon extended to other kinds of canned meat. Hormel spells the trademarked name in all upper case.\nThe use for unsolicited and unwanted email derives from a Monty Python sketch (Flying Circus, Episode 25). In the 1970 sketch, a group of Vikings in a restaurant repeatedly chant the word \"spam\". The earliest recorded real-life use for this sense occurs around 1993 which finds reference in a newsgroup post dated March 31, 1993.\nThe term appears to have been used earlier in a different sense in relation to \"Multi-User Dungeons\" (MUDs), a kind of multi-user computer gaming environment before widespread use of the Internet, in the 1980s.",

"text": "In America alone, people spent $170 billion on “direct marketing”—junk mail of both the physical and electronic varieties—last year. Yet of those who received unsolicited adverts through the post, only 3% bought anything as a result. If the bumf arrived electronically, the take-up rate was 0.1%. And for online adverts the “conversion” into sales was a minuscule 0.01%. That means about $165 billion was spent not on drumming up business, but on annoying people, creating landfill and cluttering spam filters.",

"etymology_text": "The original sense (canned ham) is a proprietary name registered by Geo. A. Hormel & Co. in U.S., 1937. It is presumed to be a conflation of either \"spiced ham\" or \"shoulder of pork and ham\" but was soon extended to other kinds of canned meat. Hormel spells the trademarked name in all upper case.\nThe use for unsolicited and unwanted email derives from a Monty Python sketch (Flying Circus, Episode 25). In the 1970 sketch, a group of Vikings in a restaurant repeatedly chant the word \"spam\". The earliest recorded real-life use for this sense occurs around 1993 which finds reference in a newsgroup post dated March 31, 1993.\nThe term appears to have been used earlier in a different sense in relation to \"Multi-User Dungeons\" (MUDs), a kind of multi-user computer gaming environment before widespread use of the Internet, in the 1980s.",
