You did? I never got it.  ???

You don't know what ship means?! Oh God, I must confuse the hell out of you recently then. Ship is short for relationship, it's a pairing of two characters [and occasionally real-life people, like I ship RupertxEmma, but shipping real people is often frowned upon..]. It's just generally a term for supporting their relationship and them being or becoming a couple. 
So basically imagine a ship as what it is, a boat. Some people are on the Ron and Hermione boat. Some people are on the Harry and Hermione boat.
And ships don't have to be canon [meaning the ship is already a couple]. Like HarryxHermione isn't canon but people can still ship it. You can ship anything you want. And ships usually have names that are formed by combining the pairings names. Such as Heron [Ron, Hermione], Seddie [Sam, Freddie], etcetera etcetera.



Oh and that written in bold I didn't write, it's by the author of the video.

But AU means alternate universe.
