My ten-year-old daughter loves visiting the NC State campus. Her favorite spot is Clark Dining Hall. Why, you ask? Two words: Unlimited bacon.
But this Bacn (yes, without the letter “o”) ain’t the same as the tangy, salty, crunchy, chewy manna from heaven (I like bacon, too). Nope, this is the latest techno-hip-buzzword that may or may not make it to mainstream dialogue. But I found it fun nonetheless (cuz…gee…it’s bacon!)
Bacn (first cousin to Spam) is, according to the folks at Bacn2, “email you want, but not right now.” Geeks are posting online their favorite strategies to deal with Bacn, such as creating an email folder with a label like “Later” or “When I Have Time.”
Want to learn more? Just do a search on “bacn” with “email” in your search window and you will be surprised and likely amused with the results.
I’m laughing now, but will be watching to see if this term truly becomes part of our lexicon. (And by the way, Sausage is next!)
