Nastygram

Ordinary people might find a "nasty gram" in the mail, a notice from a lender who has not received payment from a borrower.

"Okay, before we over-react... Ennesby, are you one hundred percent sure that General Xinchub was responsible for that bomb?" "A hundred percent? No. But I am sure that he got my nasty-gram."

Virgin Media, one of the UK's largest ISPs, has agreed to forward British music industry nastygrams to subscribers suspected of illegal file-swapping.
