Noun

velveeta ‎(uncountable)

1. (Internet, rare) The crossposting of a message to an unreasonably large number of newsgroups.
   • 1996, "The Lone Warrior", Alt.Barney.Dinosaur.Die.Die.Die FAQ (tentative) (on newsgroup alt.barney.dinosaur.die.die.die)

     Massive velveeta and spammage are highly frowned upon.

   • 2002, "edward ohare", The real points? (on newsgroup us.config)

     As a matter of summary the us.* hierarchy limit of 5 groups has substantial outside support as being reasonable due to velveeta.

   • 2003, "JT", OT - Re: Please do not cross-post! (on newsgroup alt.tv.young+restless)

     But a double cross post to applicable groups is not velveeta, spam, or bad netiquette.

   • 2004, "Joe Curry", Trip Report - RAF Museum Cosford! (on newsgroup alt.airports.uk.edinburgh)

     My newsreader (Zimacs) displays aaue and I reply accordingly, perhaps the designer of the software was more aware of velveeta.?
