I had a meeting yesterday during which a participant, in the midst of a long-winded schpiel, kept referring to e-mail as “electronic e-mail.” I can forgive a single transgression, a slip of the tongue if you will, but this marketing guy kept repeating over and over again, “electronic e-mail is super!”

“WHAT DO YOU THINK THE E STANDS FOR?!!!”

So here are my top five guesses as to what this guy must think the ‘e’ in e-mail stands for:

5. E-errific
4. Easy
3. Etastic
2. English (People in Mexico send s-mail, France = f-mail)
1. Etacular
