It’s Britney Spears, Bitch! Or should I say Bicce?

LOL!!!! who was that rich lady at the end of the vid?? haha funny .. i love when someone calls another person a bicce!! :mrgreen:

Dear HFW-teacher.

Do you know where the word bicce comes from?
But I understand it’s a limit of how deep you should go on every word.

When I was searching for the word bitch, I found out that it was from the Norrøn (Old Norwegian) “bikkja” that means female dog.
My self and other people who speaks Norwegian uses Bikkje for female dogs, but also dogs when the sex is not known or not mentioned.

Since Norrøn is based on the German language I searched through German but my trail stops at Bikkja from Norrøn.

Do you know if Bikkje is based on Bicce or is it the other way around?

You say bicce was used from around 1400. Norrøn time was from 700 – 1350. And maybe Bikkja is older than Bicce..

The Norwegian Vikings went to England and my thought was if Bikkje became Bicce on the way over from Norway?

Thank you for bringing the attention on the origin of different words.
You can help many people understand how the English language is build up and where all the words comes from.

From your Norwegian student Ole.

I think she was referring to the dog because when the owner of that dog died the owner gave all the money to the dog.

you are a really good teacher :wink:

Thanks, Marina.

Another 5-star video.

West Coast USA usage in the late sixties included the word bitchin’ as a superlative meaning very good or exciting. I remember as a teen hearing my friend from California saying that he’d seen Janis Joplin singing live and that her performance was “really bitchin’!” Surfers used this word a lot to describe great waves or rides as well.

HAHAHAHAHH who in the world is that lady at the end of the video? that’s hilarioust that you just stuck that lady there at the end and yet I have no clue as to who she is! lol

so ur not that innocent?

1400? Too old!
But the insult “son of a bitch” was first attested in the 1950s..

a fox is not a member of the canine species, although it is in the dog family, it is a member of the vulpine species, the females of the species are referred to as vixen. Great lesson though, I always enjoy them..

leonard, You have even been here longer than PKarl. Wow, you are cool!!!!!!! :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile:

Hi Chase, leonard was a subscriber before me, but I actually discovered Marina a few days after she uploaded her first video back in 2007 and have been following her since and I only became a subscriber in mid 2008. This site did not exist in 2007 until Marina started to develop the site late 2007 I think Nov-Dec. and I watched it go from a simple page to what it is now.

I was involved with my own projects on the web, but none of them were social networking related. I visited this site pretty much every day, but did not have an account then. It was something that Marina said back in 2008 in her comments that actually prompted me to get a YT account and subscribe here.

Ya, the first video I ever watched of marina was her “mug shot” video. I visited her site, and have been stuck ever since. The current layout was there already so

do you have a pic of the site when it was a basic page? I am very curious

I’m about to head out of the house, but I’ll post an image of the beginnings of the site later on.

kk :grin:

Actually, she started developing the site back in Aug 2007 or maybe even earlier. Check this out.

Here is one from Jan 2008, but the CSS is not available to resolve the true layout. I’ve got screen shots that I will be looking for later.
http://web.archive.org/web/20080102022757/http://www.hotforwords.com/

I am working on a re-design right now as we speak.. the site is too cluttered right now. Might move to blog type format.

Kewl Marina. I still love this layout and the site.
I’m addicted to it. :grin:

MARINA!!! don’t change it!!!!! I LOVE this site design!!!!!!! it’s very nice and professional. It is very very fun to look at!!!! don’t change itt!!!

I’m looking at the following designs:

http://www.press75.com/demos/video-elements/

or

http://www.press75.com/demos/tv-elements/ (not sure about white text against a dark background though, here)

or

http://www.wpzoom.com/demo/yamidoo-pro/

Thoughts?

The Third theme for Sure. The first time I looked at it, The page instantly popped up in my Head.
If you incorporated the cool HotForWords logo in to the header, it would be very, very nice. Although it wouldn’t look that good if it wasn’t transparent. I know that you like the “Featured Content” and so do I.

You know in the theme where it has the Featured content? To the very right of it, there is a box. I don’t know if you can edit this, but it would be great for your “latest video” Your latest video is a great idea for your viewers to go on your site, and realize, “Marina has a new lesson!” :smile: :smile: Respond what you think

well well… look who took my advice!!! :grin:

I like the current new layout as of 3:36 PM.
Out of the 3 choices, the 3rd one “wpzoom” is very nice. I like that one. The 1st link “video elements” has some possibilities and like you said for the 2nd link, white text on black background is not very inviting.

The current design is a good start and it is looking very good, even the Home page.

Yes yes. I have to say I am not liking the links in top of the page. What do you think P.K? :roll:

I think the header should move up to the top, leaving room for a nice header. The links should be gone

Relax… I am working on the design as we speak.. it’s really tough to make it all work right away.. takes a LOT of tweaking!

Yes I understand. :smile:

[TWEAKING]…please do that word-”tweaking”…I say its an old capitalist word for throwing something together, and thus, the worker keeping the Master happy :smile: ; or, having to break the rules of the task….be good and happy!!!…”tweak my day” with the “hay-wire” or was it “_iger-rigged” :cool: :shock: ps—I heard the “tweaking by carpenters”…[CARP] :!:
