I’m not sure I’m totally up on the definition of “glurge”… I’d always thought it meant like those sappy emails with heartstring-pulling religious stories or lame ass poems and stuff… but recently in another thread I saw someone use the word “glurge” to refer to just sort of generic non-commercial mass email, and so now I’m confused…

You are right with your first definition by the way I understand it, which comes from the explanation at the Snopes message board.
