Top 10 new words we learnt from spam poetry this week

Spam poems are the new Shakespeare. Not in the sense of providing a timeless illumination of the human condition (at least, not yet). But more in the sense of inventing marvellous new words that are sure to be in the Oxford English Dictionary in a couple of centuries time. Trouble is, those pesky spam filters mean most people don’t get to read spam poems any more, so end up with a limited vocabulary. Read on for our pick of the bunch – learn them all, and you’ll be acclaimed as a nutter genius!
