snail-mail
(jargon) | 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.
(Note: Actual garden snails progress at about 10 meters per hour, which is
about 25-50 times slower than the U.K.'s Royal Mail; comparable
measurements for other countries have not yet been made. More biologically
apt terms might be “sloth-mail” at 250 m/hr or “tortoise-mail” at 270 m/hr.
