It comes from the canned meat brand of that name, which was mentioned, I believe, in Monty Python's Flying Circus, in a sketch where all the items on a menu contained spam. The term became popular on AOL and Usenet and eventually got more popular than other terms like flooding. I only remember so much. It actually came from Monty Python? LOL
