snail-mail n. Paper mail, as opposed to electronic. Sometimes written as the single word `SnailMail'. One's postal address is, correspondingly, a `snail address'. Derives from earlier coinage `USnail' (from `U.S. Mail'), for which there have even been parody posters and stamps made. Also (less commonly) called `P-mail', from `paper mail' or `physical mail'. Oppose {email}. | |

sun lounge n. [UK] The room where all the Sun workstations live. The humor in this term comes from the fact that it's also in mainstream use to describe a solarium, and all those Sun workstations clustered together give off an amazing amount of heat. | |

snail mail "USnail"; "paper mail"). Bits of {dead tree} sent via the postal service as opposed to {electronic mail}. One's postal address is, correspondingly, a "snail (mail) address". There have even been parody USnail posters and stamps made. The variant "paper-net" is a hackish way of referring to the postal service, comparing it to a very slow, low-reliability {network}. {Sig blocks} sometimes include a "Paper-Net:" header just before the sender's postal address; common variants of this are "Papernet" and "P-Net". Note that the standard {netiquette} guidelines discourage this practice as a waste of bandwidth, since netters are quite unlikely to casually use postal addresses and if they really wanted your {snail mail} address they could always ask for it by e-mail. Compare {voice-net}, {sneakernet}, {P-mail}. (1995-01-31) | |
