aisles

Between the shelves

Aisles are the passageways between rows of seats or shelves—in theaters, airplanes, supermarkets, and churches.

The church aisle leads to the altar, so to walk down the aisle is to get married.

Someone who has you rolling in the aisles makes you laugh uncontrollably.

In politics, across the aisle means between opposing parties, from the traditional seating arrangement in legislatures.
