We are now inundated with spam. Who first coined the word?

Hamlet.

In 1937 Hormel had a contest to name their new canned meat product. The winner combined the SP from "spiced" and the AM from "ham", to create SPAM... The winner recieved $100 for this word. Mar 10 04, 1:12 PM

$100 for the word spam. And poor Edgar Allen Poe only got $15 for the whole poem "The Raven". Doesn't seem fair somehow... Mar 10 04, 5:14 PM
