Aisle Salmon
The act of moving in the opposite direction of everyone else using the
aisle. While they can be spotted in any type of aisle, they are
frequently seen on airlines during loading and deplaning.
Did you see the 'aisle salmon' trying to work his way back five rows
to get a roller bag our of the overhead while everyone was trying to
get off the plane?

aisle
c.1370, ele, from O.Fr. ele "wing" (of a church), from L. ala, related
to axilla "wing, upper arm, armpit," from PIE *aks- "axis" (see axis),
via a suffixed form *aks-la-. The root meaning in "turning" connects
it with axle and axis. Confused 15c. with unrelated ile "island"
(perhaps from notion of a "detached" part of a church), and so it took
an -s- when isle did, c.1700; by 1750 it had acquired an a-, on the
model of Fr. cognate aile. The word also was confused with alley,
which gave it the sense of "passage between rows of pews or seats"
(1731), which was then extended to railway cars, theaters, etc.

Salmon is the common name for several species of fish of the family
Salmonidae. Several other fish in the family are called trout, the
difference is often attributed to the migratory life of the salmon as
compared to the residential behaviour of trout, this holds true for
the Salmo genus. Salmon live in both the Atlantic (one migratory
species Salmo salar) and Pacific Oceans, as well as the Great Lakes
(approximately a dozen species of the genus Oncorhynchus).
Typically, salmon are anadromous: they are born in fresh water,
migrate to the ocean, then return to fresh water to reproduce.
However, there are rare species that can only survive in fresh water
habitats. This is most likely due to the domestication of these
certain species of Salmon. Folklore has it that the fish return to the
exact spot where they were born to spawn, tracking studies have shown
this to be true but the nature of how this memory works has long been
debated.
