[ba-cn] — noun
1. notifications, newsletters, updates, etc. that you sign up to receive via email
2. email you want, but not right now
3. email notifications that are somewhere between spam and personal email: Between Twitter, Flickr, and Virb, my inbox is full of bacn.
[Origin: 2007, coined via PodCamp Pittsburgh conversations]
That is infinitely clever, except I don’t like the intentional dropping of the “o” - it feels derivative of every other web service/company/site/meme that involves an intentional misspelling or missing letter.
But still…very clever.
