メアド
Significado: Abbreviated form of メールアドレス (mēru adoresu, 'mail address/email address'). Used to refer to someone's email address.
メアド was extremely common during the Japanese mobile email (ケータイメール) era of the 2000s, when exchanging email addresses was a key social interaction. While less central now that LINE has replaced email for personal communication, メアド is still widely understood and used when referring to email addresses. In the mobile email era, asking for someone's メアド was comparable to asking for their LINE ID today.
