shipping

In fanfic, putting characters into a romantic relationship, such as writing Ash + Misty from Pokemon as a couple. Often plays on perceived chemistry between characters in the original series. Abbreviated form of the word relationshipping.
These fanfics are just a load of shipping. There's no plot...

corridor class

Standing or sitting in the sections between carriages on a busy train, 'cos all the seats are taken.
Usually on an unplanned long-distance trip, where the seats are all booked in advance.
About as far from first class as you can get without going outside the train.
After missing the train we'd booked seats on, we had to travel corridor class until we got to Birmingham.

issuetainment

TV show that attempts to tackle an issue, but is geared up more to entertain than to make a difference.
Originally coined by Screen Wipe's Charlie Brooker.
Did you see that issuetainment last night, where they made those fat kids do sports? They weren't trying to help them, just make them look silly on TV.

"The only solution is to find a new threat, which brings us to 'Ian Wright's Unfit Kids' (C4), a weekly 'issuetainment' programme in which the former footballer and renowned enemy of grammar forces a bunch of overweight youngsters to take part in some extracurricular PE." - Charlie Brooker, Screen Burn (9/16/2006)
