Nerd Word of the Day: Bacn
Bacn: Email you want, but not right now.
Thanks JoeCascio on Twitter for this one.
You have the problem with Spam, which we all hate.. but then you start to get all these email notifications from Facebook, Twitter and MySpace, that start to clog up your inbox. They are not emails you don’t want.. they are just emails that you don’t have time to look at right now!
Coined at PodCamp Pittsburgh 2 last year, they
were obviously playing off the Spam name.. and I guess bacon is a step up from Spam, hence the name.
They even had t-shirts for a little while there!
Got a message from the bacon enthusiasts at bacn.com which said: “We take issue with your word of the day … we believe it means “friggin’ awesome bacon” … kthxbai …

The TechBurgh blog was the first blog ever to post about Bacn. I was one of the 4 people who came up with the term at PodCamp Pittsburgh in 2007.

I was going to jokingly wonder what a Ftls (Footloose) would look like, but I just found out that there are actually a few other acronyms for it.
Then why is it called bac(

Dear Marina, Actually, I think bacon is worse than Spam because bacon has more fat, salt, and nitrates.
When Spam was made for the US Army in WWII, they specified lots of fat in it because it provided more calories in a small container. Soldiers were able to do a full day’s work on one can of Spam. The US gave away Spam to many countries during and after WWII. We even gave Spam to the Russians, so it might have started the Cold War. Some countries in Europe, like Denmark made their own version of canned Spam, so it’s true, imitation is the highest form of flattery.
For health reasons, I can’t eat Spam, but it’s interesting to see there’s a version that includes bacon in it! (I don’t think it tastes good!)
So “Bacn” is e-mail that’s better than spam, because you will save it and read it later. I guess “Bacn” applies to most of the e-mails I actually read. I appreciate e-mail because it desn’t require a 42-cent stamp to mail it. And postage goes up to 44 cents on May 11th.

I never knew that…
As much as I might be disinterested in these terms, I cannot look away. Perhaps, I do need to keep abreast of this trend… or perhaps I really should get a log cabin off in the wilderness somewhere.
Or, make sure to have enough fire wood
…excuses to junk pick the city….PEaCE: bsomebody/-…wilderness in America is
…log cabin; been not [fabeled] to log off
..cut the log..nut log..logging would not take all day….lol…text-book*heat*
Just a belated thanks, for explaining Commandant last month. I have a funny story related to a commandant, which will keep for later.
It was totally my pleasure. It’s good to see some of those “life experiences” are good for somebody’s benefit.
(the proverbial ‘fire hydrant of useless information’)
So is this how all the kewl kids speak?
What annoys me is how someone sends out batch e-mails and leaves your e-mail address exposed for the whole world to see.
These ppl have no computer etiquette. {try bccnext time}
That’s my beef.
You should rename these as “Words no intelligent person will ever have a use for, except to laugh at those that do use them.”
