spam (n.)youdaoicibaDictYouDict
proprietary name registered by Geo. A. Hormel & Co. in U.S., 1937; probably a conflation of spiced ham. Soon extended to other kinds of canned meat.

In the sense of "Internet junk mail" it was coined by Usenet users after March 31, 1993, when Usenet administrator Richard Depew inadvertently posted the same message 200 times to a discussion group. The term had been used in online text games, and ultimately it is from a 1970 sketch on the British TV show "Monty Python's Flying Circus" wherein a reading of a restaurant's menu devolves into endless repetitions of "spam."

中文词源

spam(垃圾邮件):无厘头喜剧中每道菜都有的火腿片

英语单词spam原本是英国Hormel公司所生产的一种火腿罐头的商标名,由单词spiced (调过味的)和ham(火腿)组合而成。1970年,英国BBC推出了一部无厘头情境喜剧“巨蟒剧团之飞翔马戏团”(Monty Python's Flying Circus),里面有一家怪异的餐厅,所提供的所有菜品中都含有spam火腿片。并且,餐厅里还坐满了维京海盗,时不时地大声合唱赞美spam火腿片的歌曲。单词spam随着这部喜剧的流行而给观众留下了深刻印象。当互联网开始兴起时,人们开始将网络内容中强行塞入的广告信息称为spam,因为它就像那家餐厅在每道菜中所加入的spam火腿片一样。后来,spam一词逐渐专门用来表示垃圾邮件。
