EGOITY
My pets each have egoity,
I know it to be true,
my cat is always cranky,
but my dog is never blue.

BATHOS
You do a bathos in an email.
You include a crude joke at the end of a very professional email.

...
A bathos is a switching from talking or writing in a high class way...
to a low class way.
It ruins the image you were presenting.
