A term used by anime fans to refer to episodes or segments devoted to content irrelevant to the episodes that the filler is sandwiched in between. These are usually made to allow manga writers and illustrators to catch up with the work, to bridge gaps made by hiatuses, or to be put in place of chapters delayed to later parts of the series.
"Let's see what's goin' on in tonights Naruto!"

"Aw, come on! Filler again? Better watch the pirated low-quality crap on my hard drive..."
