More strange spam

[bunn]

Apparently 'onion maggot' is a euphemism for the male member. At least, I think that is what is meant by sending me a viagra spam under the subject line 'Your Future, Onion Maggot'.

It sounds very orcish.

EDIT: And another nice one this evening: " I am Dislexic of Borg. Resistance is Futile. Prepare to have your ass laminated"

There was nothing in the email that explained or seemed to have any profit stream attached, even when I looked at the code, nor were there any embedded scripts or calls to hosted image files. All very odd. I can only assume that the ones like that are sent out of sheer devilry, or possibly are test emails for a subsequent commercial mailing.

I keep getting spam where the subject line is two (or sometimes three) random words. It can produce some amusing combinations, such as "overeat longingly", "impatient inferno" or "sceptical long johns". I also currently have one in my wastebasket entitled "I love hamburgers but I motionless loose-fitting weiht". (No idea what any are about, since I delete without opening.)

Onion maggot, though... Small, wriggly and icky, and makes you cry if you get too close...?

I normally zap without opening, but from time to time there is a classic. I find your description convincing, and devoutly hope the_marquis is wrong and it is a real phrase. ;-p

It's not one I've ever heard before, although I have heard it called a maggot (god and the speaker alone know why). I'd have said it was just your typical spam-bot creation with a subject line of random words generator.

do you think so? Woe, I was so hoping it was a real term...
