Back in my mainframe days, I saw a satire on the IBM 360 green 
fold-out assembly reference card with commands like:

	HCF	-- Halt and Catch Fire
	ROC	-- Read Operator Character
	POP	-- Punch Operator
	MPC	-- Mangle Punch Card

When dealing with any spammer, one must always keep in mind that you
are dealing with someone who makes their living through forgery, fraud,
theft, subterfuge and obfuscation.  Stated simply, spammers lie.
