Police Scanner Perv

A citizen who listens intently to a police scanner all day and night so that he will know of all of the fires, murders, robberies, assaults, etc. that occur in his town. The PSP then gleefully informs his friends the next day of the gory details.

The PSP differs from the local policeman, fireman, or EMT with a scanner in that he has a pervy interest in listening to the scanner, not a professional interest.
Dispatcher on Scanner: We have a 10-59 on 25th and Maple; a house is burning, a trauma team and a fire control team are en route.

Police Scanner Perv: Ssh, honey. I am trying to hear the scanner. I think your mother's house may be on fire!

a scanner darkly

A book written by Philip K. Dick, that was later turned into an animated movie of the same name. Follows the story of a undercover drug detective who ends up getting hooked on the drugs he's fighting. His sacrifice, however, uncovers the terrible truth about an agency that provides drug addicts safe-houses to get off the drug. Fantastic book and great movie. The book is better though. The story was inspired by the 1970s drug culture that Dick participated in. It's dedicated to dozens of his friends that died or were crippled by drug use.
A scanner darkly is a freaky story, makes drugs sound very unappealing.

Shatner commas

Oddly placed commas that don't seem to serve any actual purpose in punctuation, but make it look like you should take odd pauses, as William Shatner does when delivering lines.
This is what Shatner commas look like:

When, we get to, the restaurant, we should, order some, tasty, beverages.

Shatner Syndrome

A disease of celebrities wherein they rise to notoriety with a particular role, and it threatens to typecast and destroy their career forever. Named for William Shatner, whose love-hate relationship with his Star Trek character James T. Kirk, both originated and imprisoned, extended and hounded much of his professional career.

In rare cases, such as with William Shatner himself, the disease mutates and gives the victim the ability to rise above and become a teflon parody/iconic legend of themself.
Examples of Shatner Syndrome are almost every principal actor from every Star Trek series, Jim Nabors, Pee-wee Hermann, Hulk Hogan and the entire cast of Seinfeld, aside from Jerry Seinfeld.

Shatnered

When a situation completely changes tone from reverent to mildly absurd.

Example: When the 2010 Winter Olympics closing ceremony went from the moving extinguishing of the Olympic flame to the tune of Neil Young's "Long May You Run" to William Shatner discussing the hazards of having sex in a canoe.
"Did you see the closing ceremony? It was great, but then it totally got Shatnered."
