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.

In hold'em poker, a starting hand of Jack/Four. As in, "What's a Jack for?"

I had the spare tire hand in the big blind and was pleased when the flop came out A 4 4.

In a group of five friends, the fifth friend can be considered a spare tire.
The spare tire is there to replace one of the other friends if they should become absent. The fifth friend is usually the least liked, and is only enjoyed by the others when their numbers start to shrink.

The spare tire is easily replaceable and cannot do anything against the group or risk being replaced. The spare is also subject to harsh criticism by the four.

Playing off the expression third wheel, fifth wheel, etc. A spare tire is a person (male or female) that you bring with you on a date. If the date falls through or you're not having fun, you rely on the spare tire to get you through the night.
Ya she was a total bitch. Good thing I brought Gabe along as my spare tire.

The huge roll of fat that often times drapes off of a woman's frame because she is so fucking fat and/or drinks to much beer/eats too much pizza, tacos, enchiladas, pasta, or cake. It can be best seen on college girls wearing tight shirts which they intend on showing off their "hot bod," but actually end up showing some nasty flab going about the entire circumfrence of their mid section, or at this point more like mid country they can be so large .....
