The process of stopping while fast-forwarding your DVR through a commercial break in order to to check out a movie trailer or flash of flesh that caught your eye.
Dude 1: Have you seen the new Captain America trailer?

Dude 2: Yeah. I was zip-mining through the commericals on the Daily Show when it flashed by. Backed up and watched the whole thing. Awesome!
