The art of fitting multiple large objects into a small space, or maneuvering a single object around a tight corner or through a narrow doorway. Can also be applied to numbers that have to total to less than some limit.
My dad is a master of Tetrising. No matter how many frozen goods he buys at the grocery store, he can always find a way to fit them all into the freezer.
Help! I need to fit this 38 inch couch through my 30 inch apartment doorway! Anyone good at Tetrising?
OK, so I have $1500 and I need to pay all these bills totaling $2000... No amount of Tetrising is going to help me here!
So if I can keep my character's encumbrance under 35%, I get a mana regeneration boost... Let's see, I'm at 32% now, if I drop the helm of intelligence, I could equip the bracers of defense against cold... That would put me at 34%, so I should be good... Gah! All this Tetrising of stats is driving me crazy! Why can't they implement a sliding scale for this silly bonus so I don't have to worry about hard limits?!

A game consisting of trying various search terms in the hopes of finding one with the least (but still nonzero) number of results.
My best Google golf score is one. I typed in my name, and got my homepage, and nothing else. Apparently I'm a nobody. But at least I got an unbeatable score!

This is the square. Do you know which hole it goes into? That's right, it goes into the square hole!
This is the rectangle. Which hole does it go into? That's right, it goes into the square hole too!
*5 minutes later*
This is the truncated dodecahedron. Do you know which hole it goes into?
(pause)
That's right! It goes into the square hole too!

An interstellar object detected entering the solar system. No one knows for sure what it is - asteroid? comet? derelict alien spaceship? The name is Hawaiian for "scout", since it's the first interstellar object ever detected

A text editing error which occurs when you run a global search & replace and replace too many items.
Oh no, I turned all the plus signs into ampersands, even the ones in the JavaScript! Stupid replacepasta!
