Redshirts
A "redshirt" is a background character in a TV show, generally one whose primary purpose in the narrative is to get killed. The name comes from the original Star Trek series, where security personnel wore red shirts (vs. gold for command crew, blue for scientific, et al). There was usually at least one of them on exploration teams, and one of them would usually die. They have also been referred to as "socks" or "meat-filled socks" by Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse on the Official Lost Podcast.
In the Season 2 Extras DVD feature "The World According to Sawyer," several of the actors, writers, and producers are interviewed throughout a montage of Sawyer-specialty nicknames.

Evangeline Lilly says that Josh Holloway now calls her "Freckles" off-screen, because he found the nickname so appropriate.
