Jul 15 Word of the Day
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.

Billionaires are having a dick swinging space race while the earth experiences record breaking heatwaves that cause sea creatures to literally cook inside their shells. We need planetary quarantine.

Can be used instead as a response to an invitation.
Example:
Your friend asks you if you want to go to the movies. You reply "NT Bud." as saying "Not today buddy."
Can also be used sarcastically.
Example:
Your friend says he'll reach the rim before you in basketball, so you reply "NT Bud!" as a way of saying "Yeah Right!"

If someone asks you to go somewhere, and you don't want to go, you answer "NT Bud!" meaning "Maybe later or something."
Also used to discourage. If someone says that they'll be able to touch rim (basketball) before you do (and you're taller than them,) you can say "NT Bud!" as "Not with your height!"
