    Exactly where the arguable triple entendre comes in!

    • “Can spam” as in “put spam in the garbage can”.
    • “Can Spam” as in the literal canned meat product Spam that Internet spam derives its name from.
    • And now the third: “can spam” as in “you’re allowed to spam because this law sucks”.

      OK, now I get it. My brain was too lazy to even try to decipher “triple entendre”.

      I’m still amazed by the hyphen. Is there a profession of literal wordsmith that comes up with such things? Probably got fired by DOGE.
