What is an e-nag?

E-Nag is one of the unusual terms that have appeared with the proliferation of various types of electronic communications, especially e-mail. The word is short for the terms electronic and simple word nag. Nag can be a noun or verb and may mean either a person who bothers others with trivial complaints or to bother others. The terms e-nagger and e-nagging can also be used. The e-nagger can simply be too impatient to wait for an answer, and continue to fill in the mailbox of another person too many requests for an answer, or just a continuation of communication that is not so relevant.
