a scene in a movie that doesn't advance the plot. usually involves no dialogue or a music montage... to add time to the movie for it to match the length of a feature film (90 minute quota)
a good example is in Horror movies, where a character will enter a long dark hallway and it leads to a few minutes of nothing but a dark shot of "dead air" with no dialogue and little suspense... leading up to a small 'jump scare' from wind blowing a door shut.

Guy says: "that was total script filler, nothing significant came out of that 4 minute scene"
"i could have skipped that scene and not missed anything important to the plot"

Get the Script Filler mug.Remarks made by a person while in conversation with one or more people that may or may not have any bearing on the current subject being discussed.
Slick filler is a manipulation tactic used by a person to camouflage their ignorance about what's being discussed, or to deflect, direct, redirect, dismiss, draw attention too, or mock, what's being discussed.
Slick filler is basically random sound bites injected into conversation at any time, that can be about any subject, for any reason, including no reason at all.
Slick filler can also just be BULLSHIT

Get the shirt filler mug.A really shit doorman/bouncer who is a pussy and can’t do his job properly. He/she is absolutely useless as fuck and they are better off being glass collectors. Shirt fillers are normally sent as a replacement when the staff who normally work are off for the day or left the job. If you are a doorman and you have a shirt filler try get them to do the job properly or else you’ll just have a useless wanker who will get paid for standing around like a nob.
Dave: What was my replacement like last week did he look after you all?
Mickey: Nah mate he was a shit, few fights he just stood there and watched it all he was a pile of shit. Fucking shirt filler bastard.

Get the Space filler mug.The people in your class who never do anything gossip-worthy and therefore are just there to fill the seats. These people may also be called hoverers. They know everything but do nothing.

Amy: "Yeah she's such a seat-filler!"

Get the Seat-filler mug.term used to describe the status update of one who is not witty enough to come up with an original thought, but instead fills in a song lyric or famous quote. "Status Fillers" are used by, but not limited to: bored college student, drunk sorority girl, Glenn Beck (all of Fox News actually), guidos, and all religions (they are most likely to quote something out of a fairy tale book)
