Sekce Etymology:
The term spam is derived from the Monty Python SPAM sketch, set in a cafe
where everything on the menu includes SPAM luncheon meat. While a customer
plaintively asks for some kind of food without SPAM in it, the server
reiterates the SPAM-filled menu. Soon, a chorus of Vikings join in with a
song: "SPAM, SPAM, wonderful SPAM, glorious SPAM," over and over again,
drowning out all conversation.
The term "spamming" was first used on the Internet to refer to disruptive,
repetitious messages on MUD games. Soon, it came to refer also to the
flooding of Usenet newsgroups with junk messages. After a pair of lawyers,
Laurence Canter and Martha Siegel, started using bulk Usenet posting as a
means of advertisement, the term came to include unauthorized commercial use
of the noncommercial Usenet medium. Email spamming, and the use of the term,
followed shortly.
There are two popular (and incorrect) folk etymologies of the word "spam".
The first, promulgated by spammers Canter & Siegel, is that "spamming" is
what happens when one dumps a can of SPAM into a fan blade. The second is the
acronym "shit posing as mail."
Hormel Foods, the makers of SPAM luncheon meat, do not object to the Internet
use of the term "spamming." However, they do ask that the capitalized word
"SPAM" be reserved to refer to their product and trademark.

Vyber ze stranky:
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
The sketch was final sketch of the 25th show of Monty Pythons Flying Circus,
and was first aired December 15, 1970.
Spam was one of the few meats excluded from the British food rationing that
began in World War II and continued for a number of years after the war and
the British grew heartily tired of it, hence the sketch.
The phenomenon, some years later, of marketers drowning out discourse by
flooding Usenet newsgroups and individuals' email addresses with junk
advertising messages was named spamming in honour of this sketch.

Tady jsem nasel zabavne lakonicke shrnuti celeho problemu:
Late 20th century. Origin uncertain: perhaps from a Monty Python sketch in
which Spam(TM) is served whether wanted or not.
