Snail mail (выражение)

У этого термина существуют и другие значения, см. Snail mail (значения).

Snail mail (в переводе с англ. — «Улиточная почта», редко smail от слов snail и mail.) — выражение, часто используемое в английском языке как выражение неудовлетворения медленной доставкой обычной почты, в отличие от электронной почты. Данной фразой сравнивают скорость доставки почтовой корреспонденции с медленной скоростью, как у улитки. Более нейтральной фразой является paper mail (бумажная почта)[1].

Само выражение впервые появилось в 1942 году в заголовке новостного материала о медленной доставке почты[2]. Позже, в 1951 году эту фразу напечатали как подзаголовок к материалу[3].

Аналогичное выражение использовалось в 1840-х годах, на тот момент речь в выражении шла о телеграфе[4].
