I’m trying awful hard to catch up on all my lessons

lmao. i love the end
” &%#! the computer is not working dear students”

I want to see a new episode of “Hot for Words” something awful.

Sounds like “awful” was brought low by the power of western slang.

Could I say that was awfully awful? But its the positive awful.

:smile: :smile: :smile: :smile:

Marina;

What is the “origin” of the word, “Dude”?

or the expression, “pedal to the metal!”

since I’m from the “motor city!”

LOL

In Response to the question is aweful used in its original positive sense today? IT IS!! A derivative of the english word Aweful(ly) is used in a positive context in north east Scotland. the scottish word is affa (means awefully). It is typically used by older residences of North scotland in a phrase: “affa fine” in response to “how are you” type questions. See http://www.aboutaberdeen.com/doric.php for proof of the scots word.

Awful can definitely be used in a positive way.

For example, you can tell your favorite gal that she looks “awfully beautiful”.

There, I did it. I brought a positive “awful” back.

Marina,

I know your videos are meant to be etymological and all that, but couldn’t you just do a video of outtakes of putting on lipstick?

It’s awful if i can’t have you. You’re so damn nice! :razz:

its awful that those enemy soldiers had gotten bomded that way

the lip stick looks great :grin:

My dear Marina,

I was pulling my hair out, trying to figure out why my log on would not work,

I ought to be student of the day, I hung in there, I did not quit, I just went to your spelling, and sure enough it worked.

Awesomewayne

You tube is awful in the today tense, so just drop their sorry ass.

You are aweful entertaining… :cool:

I have a request…What is the source for ‘analyst’? :wink:

Once again in german please :roll:

Something sexy about women in winter wear. Color me strange or something like that. Need to get marina in a turtle neck like the one hotforprofits wears.

rabbits are awesome awful to apple trees…teasing(word request)—-It took an awful long time to pick those awesome apples; to sit and mercily rot. :lol:

You still didn’t explain why it was Awful that began being associated with “bad things” and not Awesome. I bet there’s a reason for that. Maybe the fact alone that ‘awful’ could be used as an intensifier acccounts for that? Or people’s tendency to intensify only negative aspects of life at that time?

me 2…another random stab at learning :cool: hope you had and will have a better day..anti-heart<E…I never assumed :lol:

you are an awfully pretty [woman], you have awfully [pretty] [eyes]. hows that?

Awesome fear lol and people sometimes say something was Awful nice lol

:razz: My random lesson… :cool: Lemons may be one of the most versatile and useful foods on the planet. Everyone loves fresh lemonade on a hot day or a squeeze of lemon juice on fish or seafood. Aside from being a nutritious fruit, lemon is a disinfectant, anti-septic, astringent and even helps to preserve and revive foods. With a few tips, you can learn to extend the life of fresh fruits and vegetables with just a simple lemon.

B-well and stay well…GREAT job Marina… :smile: A fun lesson might be on “[LIMEYS]“…+=+rickets…[lime] for the sailors

Awesome lesson Marina, beer for lunch break? :cool:

Literature is an occupation in which you have to keep proving your talent to people who have none. ~Jules Renard~ ;-)

How about ‘It’s awfully nice out’?

I’m awfully appreciative of marina not stooping to the level of some of her other female model-esque counterparts. while other ‘babes’ like her indulge merely in the superficial and ephemeral, marina aptly displays her most beautiful body part – her brain.
