To 'tetris' a space is to fit things into it as tightly as possible using the shape of the objects to fit round one another in order to optimise use of space.
' I'll get the kids, you tetris the car'
'Can you tetris your cupboard a bit more please? There's plenty more junk could be in there instead of all over the floor'
Origin: The episode of the simpsons where Homer fits the kids and luggage into the car while teris music is played and everything becomes square shaped.
