snail-mail


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.  Oppose email.
