This is a term originally coined by Mr. Carr. It is a term to refer to the general acts of stupidity, hatefulness, and uselessness that seem to plague the county, as well as the high school in particular.

This can also refer to the sometimes violent reaction of native grantonians upon hearing any of the following keywords: school uniforms, lanyards, CATS testing, Wal-Mart, religion, rebel flags, sex, and drugs.

The safeguarding of Earth and other worlds from biological cross-contamination (i.e. billionaires with too much time on their hands).

Also known as “planetary protection.” Planetary protection / quarantine “reflects both the unknown nature of the space environment and the desire of the scientific community to preserve the pristine nature of celestial bodies until they can be studied in detail.”

There are two types of interplanetary contamination. Forward contamination is the transfer of viable organisms from Earth to another celestial body. Back contamination is the transfer of extraterrestrial organisms, if such exist, back to the Earth's biosphere.
