A term derived from the The First Star Trek William Shatner's acting: halting, punchy dialogue, delivered in a dry and self - mocking manner.
The First Batman - the 1st campy one, Adam West, out - shatnered himself while musing about The Riddler :
"The Riddler is loose to plague us...with his...criminal cunundrums!"
Props to Roger Moore

Did you see David Caruso on CSI: Miami last night? He was shatnering so hard I thought he'd bust a vein.

Named after William Shatner's famous method of acting where lines are delivered with long pauses between them, the shatner is a sexual move where when performing oral sex on a guy, the girl gags, vomits (the pause), and goes back to performing oral sex.

1. To deliberately produce something so bad it's good. Creating something genuinely campy would be the perfect shatnerization. While not quite as unachievable as exceeding the speed of light, perfect shatnerization is as difficult as bowling a perfect game.
(Note: This does not infer that Shatner's early musical works are deliberately campy. They do, however, set a standard.)
2. To parody yourself (a la William Shatner's commercials for Priceline).

The "How Berkley Can You Be" parade is a day for Berkleyites to shatnerize themselves.
Newsweek: Doesn't it bother you that your version of "Mr. Tambourine Man" is a camp classic?
William Shatner: ...yes, in the beginning it bothered methat people singled it out and poked fun at it. They didn't know what I was doing. The album, "The Transformed Man" is much more extensive than that song. But since people only heard that song, I went along with the joke.
Newsweek: Uhh...OK Bill.

A niche sexual fetish combining food fetishes with foot fetishes. To perform a Shatner you slather your lover’s toes in Mayo, wrap their feet in sandwich fixins (usually bologna and American cheese), then gorge yourself on the delectable sweet feet meat treat you have created. It is unclear why this act is called a Shatner.
