Why is "Per my last email." funny?
Office-speak
Who it channels
The office worker who has run out of patience but not out of politeness.
Where it comes from
A line of corporate email etiquette — technically neutral, universally understood as a frosty "I already told you this."
Why it lands
It is an insult in business formalwear. Everyone in an office knows that "per my last email" means "read the thread, genius," and the joke is the thin, transparent layer of professionalism over the irritation.
How to drop it
Reminding your flatmate, again, that the rent is due: "Per my last email."
