Colonists.<br />

Against your will<br />

A critical concept for Mars colonists, relating to the moment that<br />

they inevitably realise that they want to get off the runt planet, asap,<br />

but can’t because of the of the many physical impediments to moving<br />

between Mars and Earth. Against your will becomes apparent<br />

immediately after asking the Mars Question (see below).<br />

Anterior Grippage<br />

Anterior grippage refers to the front claws on a Martian Cat.<br />

Biting Competition<br />

A common hobby for Mars colonists. It is used as a distraction from<br />

Mars Immiseration and a way of winning Martian Cat.<br />

BUHA<br />

The acronym for Mars Death Type: Burning-up Harmlessly in the<br />

Atmosphere.<br />

Burning-up Harmlessly<br />

A space industry euphemism to describe the manner in which space<br />

debris that enters Earth’s atmosphere ablates and combusts, turns<br />

into smoke particles that rain on penguins and polar bears (see<br />

Polenguin).<br />

Degloving<br />

The process by which patches of skin are easily torn off the Martian<br />

Cat. Degloving is sometimes done accidentally. Other times, it is a<br />

process through which the Martian Cat can be eating over a long time<br />

period.<br />
