Filler word 

A word used to make up for gaps in conversation, when the speaker is not certain what they want to say next. Can be very annoying if used excessively.

Person 2: Black holes are...um...they're uh...black holes, they...erm...er...
Person 1: You have no fucking clue, do you? You're just using filler words now.

sock filler

A (generally) teen-age boy who spends the majority of his time masturbating into a tube sock. Sock fillers tend to be socially awkward, often standing slack-jawed while in the presence of their female classmates.
"As the girls' P.E. class ran past, a large number of sock fillers began to shift uncomfortably and mumble to each other."

Nuck Figgers 

"Nuck Figgers" was originally the name given to a community of European-born Canadian people who lived on the island of Nuck, just off the northern coast of the province of Manitoba, Canada. These people largely lived off the land, harvesting crops. And since the only crop on Nuck was figs from fig trees, they made everything out of figs. Their food was figs, their clothing was figs... Everything was figs. And hence, they became known as the Nuck Figgers.

As you'd expect from such an isolated island community, though, the Nuck Figgers were terrible racists. They'd accept white outsiders into their community (as long as they liked figs), but as soon as a black man came around, they'd mob up to tear him limb from limb. This continued until the more progressive-minded children of their parents got tired of hating people with other skin colours and left Nuck forever. The Nuck Figgers community died out in 1973, the last dying of malnutrition at 81.

However, the legend of the Nuck Figgers lived on. So fierce were they in their hatred of dark-skinned individuals, that "Nuck Figgers" became a byword for hostility towards black people. Even today, calling out "Nuck Figgers" will scatter any African-descended persons around, as it indicates to them that you are willing to act in the manner of the Nuck Figgers of old, and so they will be unwelcome around you.

The fact that the words "Nuck Figgers" are a spoonerism for an expression involving the N-word is just a coincidence.
When in Compton, I found myself threatened by the crowds around me, so I shouted "Nuck Figgers" and they backed off.

album filler 

When a band releases an album where there's only a couple good songs, and they need more to make a whole album, so they make crappy songs knowing they aren't that great just to complete the CD since you need at least around 8 songs for a good CD.
The Shins' new album "Wincing the Night Away" has only a few great songs on it, and around 15 tunes in total, so they make a bunch of album fillers in order to make it a full-length album

filler songs 

"Cookie-cutter" songs used to fill time or pad an album around the two or three hits.

While the lyrics might be good the music itself lacks substance. Filler songs will never be on a greatest hits record down the road. Not even as a joke.
"I wish I could return this CD I bought - it's all filler songs."

West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
