Word/Term: canonshafted
Meaning: I believe it's another word for "jossed".
Original Fandom(s), If Known: I saw it being used by some Potterfen, but I don't know if that's where it originated or not.

Word/Term: redshirt, red-shirt
Meaning: The original Star Trek often introduced characters whose sole purpose was to die violently shortly after being introduced, usually about ten minutes into the episode. These characters were usually in the Security department and therefore wore red shirts. The term "redshirt" is used to refer to any minor, expendable character who will probably be killed off quickly.
Original Fandom(s), If Known: Star Trek

Word/Term: Favorite Character Mutilation Syndrome
Meaning: A condition which causes a fan to enjoy reading and/or writing stories that abuse his/her favorite characters, injuring them or even killing them off. Can be abbreviated to FCMS. Term coined (I believe) by Empress Leia.
Original Fandom(s), If Known: Star Trek
