malandro
A common figure in Brazilian culture, the «malandro» is a laid back bad-boy, appreciated as a folk hero of some sort. The football-samba-petty crime type of figure.
The act of being a «malandro», «malandragem», is characterised in the Brazilian popular imagination as a tool for individual justice. Facing the forces of oppressive institutions, the individualist malandro survives by manipulating people, fooling authorities, and sidestepping laws in a way which guarantees his well-being. In this way, the malandro is a typical Brazilian hero. Literary examples include Pedro Malasarte and João Grilo; with a good example of non-Brazilian character being Jimmy McGill.
But the malicious and corner-cutting figure of the malandro does not mean one would be selfish, careless towards others. A malandro doesn't use malandragem to take advantage of another person intending to harm others, but rather only to find a way out of an unfair situation even if this means resorting to illegal methods.

MajandraVision
n.
1. The airing of a television show in a highly preempted fashion.
2. The overuse of "last time on {insert show here}" introductions in a television series.
Etymology: from "Majandra" (actress) + "-vision" (to see or perceive, esp. on TV).
Historical footnote: Majandra is short for Majandra Delfino, an actress known in part for her role as Maria on the TV series Roswell. During its final season on the WB television network (its second of three seasons in total), the series aired sporadically. To keep viewers from being totally lost, each episode for roughly the last half of the season began with a "catch up" segment narrated by Maria.

The way KTVU preempts Stargate for sporting events, it's almost like they're showing it in MajandraVision.
