spanish for guy, dude, kid, boy...

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.

A Cuban word used to describe cash, money, bills (dollars), mula.

Chavos = boys/guys(boys & girls).
A gruop of young people.

The main character of a Mexican sitcom produced in the 70s and 80s, by the media conglomerate Televisa. It has been the most widely watched show in the Spanish language for decades.

Chavo is a homeless orphan child who lives from the "charity" of the inhabitants of the neighborhood where he hangs out. The other characters seem to amuse themselves by mocking him, hitting him, offering him food but then denying it, and generally torturing him.

Critics argue that its director, Roberto Gomez Bolaños, aka Chespirito, has earned fame and fortune by taking advantage of the worst kinds of attrocities, such as child abuse, violence, homelesness, hunger, etc, and has presented them in a "funny" way.

The show offers repetitive gags, which are followed by laughter cues, perhaps as an acknowledgement that the audience would otherwise not understand the purportedly funny situations.

As opposed to what one guy posted, chavo is normally used to refer to money itself not a person. It is interchangable with pretty much any slang term for money.

This is the Mexican word for Chavs. If you don't believe me dial 0052 and 11 random numbers and ask a Mexican yourself.
