Redshirt
Expendable characters. Usually say one line or less before being
killed in a plot-convenient manner.
Most often seen in classic 60's Trek.
"Oh no, that Redshirt just fell down the bottomless pit."
"Damn, find me another one."

A shirt is a cloth garment for the upper body. Originally an
undergarment worn exclusively by men, it has become in American
English a catch-all term for almost any upper-body garment other than
outerwear such as sweaters or coats, or undergarments such as bras.
The term "top" is sometimes used in ladieswear. In British English, a
shirt is more specifically a garment with a collar, sleeves with
cuffs, and a full vertical opening with buttons. This is known in
American English as a dress shirt.

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.

fore
O.E. fore (prep.) "before, in front of;" (adv.) "before, previously,"
common Gmc. (cf. O.H.G. fora, O.Fris. fara, Ger. vor, Goth. faiura,
O.N. fyrr "for"); from PIE *per-/*pr- (cf. Skt. pura "before,
formerly;" Avestan paro "before;" Hittite para- "on, forth;" Gk. paros
"before," para "from beside, beyond," peri "around, about, toward,"
pro "before;" L. pro "before, for, on behalf of, instead of," prae

In human sexual behavior, foreplay is a set of intimate psychological
and physical acts between two or more people meant to increase sexual
arousal.
Foreplay involves different acts such as kissing, touching, embracing,
talking, and teasing (teasing, in this case, may include methods of
satisfaction, such as erotic sexual denial).[1] Sexual stimulation of
all kinds, such as manual or oral stimulation of erogenous zones are
considered foreplay. Sexual role playing, fetish activities, and BDSM
can also be considered foreplay, though they may also accompany
intercourse and not just precede it. Of the various forms of foreplay,
the most common include fellatio and cunnilingus.
