How do you spell maps backwards?
The word "maps" spelled backward is "spam" (after the canned meat product Spam).
What is the full form of SPAM?
SPAM is not an acronym. This word originated as a shortened version of "spiced ham" -- the word created by the Hormel company for its canned meat product. Because it is a composite of ingredients, it was often the butt of jokes. Monty Python famously raised it to pop culture status with a skit which portrayed Spam as ubiquitous and inescapable. Inevitably it became an adjective for that dread of the Internet -- unsolicited junk mail, First as "electronic spam" and commonly today as "spam email" or just 'spam'. Based on packaging, it seems that SPAM (all caps) should be reserved for the Hormel product and the all lowercase "spam" for junk mail.
Where does the word Spam come from?
I think it's a contraction of "spiced ham" or "spiced pork and ham". This was is a tinned meat product made famous during WW2 by the Americans in Europe. Food was rationed and it was welcomed at the time. When war ended more food became available and Spam got a reputation as being for poor people. Hence the term for unwanted messages and adverts. Spam was popular in the US as well. During rationing in the US, you were only allowed so much meat in a week. You were allowed far more canned goods in your rations. Spam counted as a canned good but was meat. So you could still get meat if you liked Spam. The source is my mother who was a teenager in WW II. I've heard the story other places so it seems reliable. I think its reputation was low because nobody really understood what was in it but that's more conjecture.
