Come dine with the Abbotts at their house--but watch out: they speak with mouths full, spit (SPam over IP Telephony) Unsolicited advertising appearing in a VoIP voice mailbox. Let us pray we do not have to listen to a myriad of SPIT like we have to wade through spam, or "spit" just might be the most appropriately named acronym yet! See spitter, SPIM, VoIP , and have terrible manners. Contemporary drawings blend with Victorian-style etiquette etiquette, name for the codes of rules governing social or diplomatic intercourse. These codes vary from the more or less flexible laws of social usage (differing according to local customs or taboos) to the rigid conventions of court and military circles, and they  advise with a funny twist ("Smell not of thy meat, nor put it to thy nose") to create a hilarious set of examples of good--and bad--behaviors.
