Queasemail
Created by: artr
Pronunciation: kwēzēmāl
Sentence: When Sidney woke up on Saturday morning he dragged himself to the computer to survey the damage he might have caused the night before. Through the haze of far-too-much and way-too late he remembered how he thought it would be amusing to see if he could send e-mails to everybody in his address book. Most of them were stupid or made no sense at all but there, in the SENT folder, was the queasemail - that one that he felt deep in the pit of his stomach. The one that felt like Chuck Norris had kicked him - the kind of kick that makes you expect to find your spleen laying somewhere in the living room. That was when the sun came out. He looked in his inbox and found a number of "huh?" responses and the one that saved him. He had sent THE ONE to his girlfriend's old e-mail address and it had been kicked back. Time to take some Tylenol and get the day started. What had he said to her? You'll have to ask him. His delete key works just fine.
Etymology: queasy (nauseated; feeling sick) e-mail (messages distributed by electronic means from one computer user to one or more recipients via a network)

After a few, he would Rhone back home and fire up his computer. It was then that he would send e-mails to everyone in his company, including his boss, and Pinot his thoughts and speculations on line. He crossed the Bordeaux when he said the Boss' sperm count was unusually Merlot and said it Shiraz been a while since the boss's wife, Sangria,had been living at their home. Vinnie blamed this on the cute Medoc in the local hospital where Sangria worked. Yes, if only Vinnie had not had his Bacchemailya, he could have been Sauvignon his job!
