That’s Dope!

Another name for drugs is CANDY.

Hi Marina,
There are several names for illicit drugs out there. “Weed” refers to the illegal drug marijuana. “Coke” and “crack” can both refer to cocaine, but crack is a more crude form of cocaine. There are a few more out there, but I can’t remember them.

Hi Marina,
It appears I was incorrect in my first comment. “Marijuana” is actually an alternate name for the durg Cannabis, which is also known as “weed,” “ganja,” or “pot.” Another drug, phencyclidine, is also known as PCP or “angel dust.” That’s about all the drugs I can remember. The names, I mean. NOT the actual drugs.

Hello, Marina!

I have been wondering where the word “Bidet” got its name- why “Bidet”? I knew that if anyone could get it, it would be you! Talk to you soon…

-Shawn

PS- I don’t have a date for Valentine’s, either. If you come to Atlanta I will treat you.

this seems to be an easy one.

Great video :)

The word I have always wondered about is “Beautiful” were did it come from? Whats “Beauti” thank you for reading :)

Hi Marina,
Can you please explain why the word “bum” has so many uses, from one’s backside, to a lazy person, to something inferior, depressed…(bummed out)
Thanks !

Hello Marina,

I put this on your YouTube site:

If you take dope you are a right ‘Charlie’, if you take ‘Charlie’ your a right dope!

New Comment:

I’m glad that you don’t take or have not taken stupid stuff, great video with your usual intriguing, alluring, commentary beauty. Love your sexy attractiveness!

Hello Marina.
Wonderful…Every time i see one of your videos,it brings a SMILE to my face and smarts to my brain.Keep up the hard work.

Marina!

I would like you to investigate the origins of the word, “Goosebumps.”

Why do we call it goosebumps when one is cold or scared, and the hair stands up?

Thanks! Love your videos!!! :razz:

Let see my sweet.
There’s ( horse, smack, cola, refer, junk, a cousin aka primo, blunt, yesca, smoke, hit, tab, ) :wink: I forget alot more than I care to.

Adios cositas.

Hello Marina,

Is there a connection between the words expedient and expedition?

Hello Marina,

Another great lesson but I’d like to add a couple more uses.
1. “Pipe dope” isn’t something that’s smoked, it’s a goop that’s spread on the threads of a pipe or fitting to seal the joint to prevent leaks.
2. When I was a kid my cousin, Keith, would build & fly model aiplanes made from balsa wood with fabric streched over the balsa frame. Then he’d “dope” the fabric to stiffen it. That dope would get you feeling good if the room wasn’t ventilated. Thank, Tom

I mean Thanks :oops:

well as for the homework…. people sometimes refer to their supply of illicit materials as a ‘stash’ or ‘cache’ which are words that are also used without any drug connotation. cache is an interesting word which i think might have a relation to cash. i wonder if you could research it.

your abreviated account of a friend tricking you into licking a snail has me utterly intrigued. i beg you to share the story. the tiny amount you shared so far has imaginations (mine at least) racing.

in return i can offer …. my most embarrassing sashimi mistake story at least. :oops:

if your snail story is REALLY good, i will even tell you about the bat…… (not the wooden one, the flying mammal). :evil:

DUI (driving under the influence) does not mean just alcohol, but to any kind of illicit drug. :shock:

Some people say, “What’s your drug of choice?” :lol:

you want an ‘upper’? :smile:

you want a ‘downer’? :sad:

Some people say, “Have you heard the ‘word’ on the street?” :cool:

Believe it, or not
some people even call them ‘donuts’ for no apparent reason at all. :oops:

Though, if you really think really hard; mostly, all people refer to illicit drugs as ‘dime’, ‘quarter’, ‘nickel’ ‘gram’ or an ‘ounce’.

Oh, on some other news that Italian quarter you have from your foreign coin collections. The one that has a brass center with a silver ring around it that looks like a donut, I just recently bought one that is just like it too. :wink:

Hi Marina
Could you do your wonderful research and find out how the word MUSIC came to have its meaning.
As a great music lover I would really appreciate your time and effort in finding out.
Your faithful and dedicated student.
SpiderCT

P.s. its good to see you becoming a bit of a celeb, please dont forget us when your rich and famous. lol ;) (stands for lots of luv in this case) xx

Onthe word dope, I remember something about dopemiens? probably spelt that wrong!!
The word I am interested in is Polyon?? I have been told that it means destroyer of all, but I cant find the word or that meaning anywhere!!!
Could be I was LIED to!!! Strange people and there strange comments and thoughts.

The balsa planes I think I have some recollection of that a toxic adhesive/sealant??
The pipe dope also sounds familiar, nice work Tom.

That’s a tough one minty!

Hello Marina,

Did you receive a poem I sent you, if you did would you let me know what it invoke with in you, in other words could you give me a critical analysis, thank you!

Once again, great video!

Word/phrase suggestions;; HUNDRED as-in “100th vid from You celebration” or maybe MILESTONE,,or maybe both for the 100th. How about a name? VAN HALEN as-in the band that did *Hot For Teacher*. It would make a good theme song for the 100th!

Aside from what is on Youtube and Your Site do You have any other works on the net? links?

Hi Marina,
I was wondering where the phrase “spitting image” came from. I’ve heard a couple explanations but nobody seems to agree.
Thanks and keep up the great work!!

Dear Marina,

If you please, I would like you to investigate the origins of the slippery, and academically ubiquitous, term.”discursive.” Thank you for your consideration.

Yours,

l. bellus > vl. bellitatem > ofr.(?) beltet > ofr. bealte > angl-norm. beute

this applies to “beauty”.
but I do wonder if “beautiful” derived from “beauty” or the other way around since the latin word “bellus” seems to be an adjective.

hehe. sorry, just couldn’t resist :P

Hey all. I have always been surprised by the diverse etymology of the English language. I would like to learn the origins of a few words;

‘cumbersome’ / encumbered

‘deviant’ / defy

‘recidivist’ / recidivism

Please and thank you.

:roll:
The word origins I’m curious about today are the nautical terms Port (left) & Starboard (Right)

How did they come about?

I’m sure you wouldn’t forget to give us the history behind Valentine, would you? How can a saint and physical love be connected? Seems like a contradiction. Those saints are for Platonic love whereas we regular people are for Aristotelian love. Down to earth. Hey, maybe you should do some items on idioms. :lol: :oops: :idea:

the Word…..Grant……Granted…..Be nice to know more about it.

Also Valentines day I am Single…….

If a smile was water i would send you the sea.

The origin of the term comes from old boating practices. Before ships had rudders on their centerline, they were steered by use of a specialized oar. This oar was held by a cocksman located towards the stern (back) of the ship. However, like most of the rest of society, there were many more right-handed sailors than left-handed sailors. This meant that the right-handed sailors holding the steering oar (which had been broadened to provide better control) used to stand on the right side of the ship. The word starboard comes from Old English steorbord, literally meaning the side on which the ship is steered. The old English term steorbord descends from the Old Norse words stýri meaning “rudder” and borð meaning “side of a ship”. The modern term “steering wheel” comes from the same language root as “starboard” or “steer board”.

Similarly, the term for the left side of the boat, port, is derived from the practice of sailors mooring on the left side (i.e., the larboard or loading side) as to prevent the steering boards from being crushed. Because the words larboard and starboard sounded too similar to be easily distinguished, larboard was changed to port.

The starboard side of a vessel is indicated with a green navigation light at night.

Easy way to remember “starboard” vs. “port”:

All are longer words (“starboard”, “right”, and “green”) while other side are shorter words (“port”, “left”, and “red”)

Cracker has multiple meanings.

Cracker [krak-er] noun: a thin yet crisp biscuit, a firecracker, a boaster, a person or thing that cracks, and my favorite,

A poor white person living in some rural parts of the southeastern U.S.

There you go! The word cracker and its meanings.

1 surpassing, or superior.
2. being beyond ordinary or common experience, thought, or belief; supernatural.
3. abstract or metaphysical.
4. idealistic, lofty, or extravagant.

and i would like to know the origin. for some reason it reminds me of the word trance…

Marina, can you tell me the orgin of the word persnickety.

Hey Marina~

I’ve got a couple word requests. I was just in Connecticut and they call “hero” or “sub” sandwiches “grinders”… is this even a word? Or sometimes they call them “Hoagies”

Hi Marina

I must have been one of the first people to suggest Flabbergasted to you a few weeks ago but I got no mention on your video. I was so disappointed! No apple for teacher today. So try this word, ‘cropper’ as in “I came a cropper” meaning to fall down or to make a big mistake.

Hello Marina,

Could you explain the meaning and indeed where: ‘Soliloquy’ came from, look forward to your next video.

Marina,
How about the words- “Poem” and “Poetry”.
It seems that poems have been written about so many subjects but was it always called a poem or poetry?
Thank you.
Warren

Hi Marina,

what about the expression “hanky-panky”. Where does it come from?

I just LOVE your videos! Keep up the good work!

Marina, my dear teacher,

Love your clips. They stimulate all my senses.

Hi Marina HFW

PLease send me the personalized VDAY card…that would make my decade complete…you’re the BESTEST! Всего хорошего

Word request: “dyke”

Although it doesn’t refer directly to illicit drugs, it does refer to the usage of it. Being stoned or being a stoner has to do with being affected by or doing drugs. I’d love to find out the origin of this word :)

Also, unless you want people to focus only on you’re beautiful self, try talking faster. Unless the left half of the brain gets stimulated with a feed of information, the right side will take over and start imagining things (making them not listen to you :O)

I’m new here and wanted to say Hi Marina, nice to meet you. I am an apt student. Hey, how about explaining to me just what apt means. I will never be late for class. Do you like apples? Eric

Hello Marina,

What about the word “whizz”? Why does it mean a person who is skilful at some activity?

Thank you.

hi Marina,

my name is Chris and i am a proptologist, among other things. i’m happy to come across your videos – my goal is to become your best student!

can you tell me how the term “cafe racer” came to describe a style of motorcycle?

my best mate+me have a business together as well. we build “cafe racer” motorcycles – english-style, stripped down, street bikes from the 50-60s.

it would be the bee’s knees if you could help the world understand the term “cafe racer”.

here’s a link to our bikes: http://www.cb750cafe.com

there’s much more “cafe racer” resources online now too. it’s a very interesting story+my mate’s old man was one of the original ’59 Club members around the Ace Cafe in London.

take care+have a great day!

cheers,

I was always curious as to the origine of the word extemporaneous, it sounds like a spell :razz:

lat. “ex tempora” — “out of the moment, on the spot”. something like that.

errr … “ex tempore”. sry.

Hey Marina,
The word ‘Cave’ in Latin means Beware, I think, so does this mean Caveman = Beware man? :???:

‘Hero’, from American sandwich made of a long roll? also, ‘hero sandwich’, and ‘Submarine!’ – is this true? :cool:

Cupidity, besides Powerful Desire, I read some place it mostly means especialy for money! I thought it was meant purely for Love? :oops:

engl. cave != lat. cave. ;)

I have always wanted to know about the word Bologna, why its pronounced the way it is and what not

Thanks,minty!
And you’re right about the toxic adhesive/sealant & hardening. I think it was the same stuff used on real fabric covered airplanes, but I don’ know for sure.

You’re right alx. I’ve plucked(no jokes out there :wink: ) geese and chickens and the skin does look like “goosebumps”. Well, except the birds are dead.

Hello Marina:

the video was great but i can’t avoid saying The dope show! like the Marilyn Manson’s :twisted: song.

In addition i want to request the origin of the word: apple because its my favorite fruit (apples from argentina are great! an delicious of course) and because i use a Mac Pro (Apple Inc rules!) :razz:

i hope to the see the word in one of your videos.

i apologise for eventual grammar mistakes of my message because i am not a native speaker of english, and i use other kinds of letters

привет из Новосибирска ( i hope you can understand me :cool: i love the russian so much )

iFranco, (i am logged as Hitman but i prefer my real name to sign)
( i’m the one who correct you when you write Número Uno without the stress/accent in Youtube)

Black Cadillacs, Orange Sunshine,White Cross, Whippets,Micro-dot, Windowpane(I’m showing my age here :eek: ). Now, I’ll settle for a couple of beers & Tom Petty at half-time.

Dear Teacher,
I am writing to you in order to request a pair of words I have came across, some time ago. The first one came to my mind when some day I opened my toolbox, and saw my soldering iron, and suddenly the word soldier came to my mind. May be because in Spanish, my native language, the participle of the verb “soldar” which means to solder is “soldado”, and spelled exactly as the Spanish word for soldier. Then the question is, ¿are the words soldier and solder related in any way?
Another word which its origin might be interesting to discuss is Cybernetics, because of the importance of communications in modern life (I found its origin some time ago, while reading the book “Knaurs Der Denkmaschinen”, but it would be very interesting to know some expert opinion).
Thanks very much for your time, and please keep doing this great work.

Yours sincerely Kybernetes.

I would like to know where the word ” BLOWJOB” CAME FROM

Hi, Hmm Not so Much as a Word… but It would be Interesting if you can do a topic of : Why Do Men Have Short Hair…. It know It would be an entertaining topic for sure….

I would love to know where the word “frisbee” came from…

I would love to know where the word “ghost” came from.

A NY Giants fan is a dope, eh? Who was it that just won the game? Darn it all, I just can’t remember! Oh yeah, the GIANTS. :lol:

I happened to find this website two days ago, it is really exciting! Full of Passion!!! And you, my dear teacher, is really, pretty a hot one, absolutely!

Well, I’d like to pick a word for you, that is “bear”. Then, what about “bear”? Tell me, come on!

Hi Marina! You’re dope!
What is the genesis of the term “condom”?

I was wondering if you could go over the origins of the words mom and dad and why mom is so similar to its translations in other languages, like mama, but dad is so different from translations like papa, etc, and really doesn’t sound like it has anything to do with the word father. Also, to comment on your maxim interview, I think you should go over some bad words! Especially the ones that have several different meanings. It would make for some interesting conversation starters! Thanks! Love your lessons… I drive my friends nuts telling them the meaning behind all of the words I learn on here!

hey marina im wondering why the word “jack” is so widely used, let me give you some examples

jack of all trades
jackplug
lumberjack

why jack? why not poul or mike? :mrgreen:

I work in the trade show industry (such as the Consumer Electronics Show, which is one of ours actually), and since we have salespeople, designers and I.T. people in constant communication with each other, we often have miscommunications, as none of these groups understands the others. Consequently, I often get to use one of my favorite words to describe the mass confusion which inevitably results. This word is “kerfluffel.” Since one of my new co-workers was so amused by my use of this word (she’d never heard it before), I decided to investigate. I found many uses of it online, even a definition, but not it’s etymology. I suppose this could be that I’ve spelled it phonetically (I’ve only ever heard it, never seen it spelled.) So as a long-time fan of your show, I thought I’d turn to you for help.
Sincerely,
Crash Kinkaide.

Hi Marina
I was woudering where the word (Elaborate) came from?
So if you can help. :idea:

My dear teacher,

May I be so bold as to request consideration of the word “raze”.

Typically it is used in the context of “razing a building”. Upon hearing that word, one would think that you are putting up a building. However it means quite the opposite.

Respectfully,

G’day Marina,

I was wanting to know what the word “HONORIFICABILITUDINITATIBUS” means
and where it originated from and in what year?
Thankyou Marina and good luck :grin:

true enough…that was a DOPEY prediction! I wonder if Marina HFW will hold against me??

well i thought that the word dope came from airplane glue, and that people are known to sniff it !…lol…but then again it could be called dope cause of the syrup like texture !….who would know but you !! :lol: …so i was wondering if you could do, ” tom foolery “….i read that it came from a sadistic entertainer , who’s stage name was tom fool,…and one of his pranks were too lead lost travelers into the moors to die, near Munster castle ! i think that was the name of the place ?…

keep it up .
thanks

Hi Marina !!

Formerly I´d request to search for the latin origin of the word ” Religion ”

I saw your video about Sicreligeous, (very interesting), and you come to define a part of the world religion. But if we go deeper on the meaning shall we found more interesting matters. Thank you

I’ll look into the kumbaya thing.. see if I can figure it out.

Thanks!

grass has a lot of meanings. on of them being to refer to the drug

seems like it has to do with some creole language. “come by here” or something.

let her figure out the details. ^^

I hate to take away another answer from Marina, but as alx stated previously, it means “Come by here” in Gullah which is a language sometimes referred to as “Sea Island Creole”. It’s a hybrid of English and West African.

This last comment was supposed to answer the kum ba ya question above.

I got a word for you, Antidisestablishmentarianism
and yes that is a word

Marina did this word already…

watch it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fv2_rSCnBQQ

Yeah I did the word already.. you can find it in the complete list of words…. http://www.hotforwords.com/words
:-)

Marina

The word is clip. From paper to video and even ships. I don’t see the link but I hope you can. Maybe I’ll see my answer in a future clip.

How about “Pipe Dream”.

If a dream is unrealistic, why is it referred to as a pipe dream?

Hey, I’m new. Thanks for having me.

I don’t see much love in the V section, so let’s go with “violet.”

Any background on it, other than the color? What’s the origin of it? What country did the word/color emerge from first? Any info is better than nothing.

Appreciate it. Keep it up, guys.

Hey Sweetie

I am sure the word Dope comes from the word Dopamine which is a drug, just keeping ya honest :grin:

Hey!! The new James Bond title is out! It’s “quantum of solace” but I don’t have a clue what it means…
Maybe you can unravel it ;)
Love, Maxim :lol:

Here is an eponym for ya, the John or Crapper, I know the answer but it mite be fun pearls of wisdom for the others.

P.S. I also requested this for I want to hear ya say William >8)

The old, original meaning of dope as thick dipping sauce still has some currency. My father always spoke of “airplane dope”, meaning either the thick varnish-like glue used on the wings of old-fashioned airplanes, or to mean model airplane cement. Both are thick and gloppy.

And, yeah, I guess you could get high sniffing either one. But, if you get brain damage, you’ll be a dope for life.

Awesome viedeo and a good explanation of dope.

You don´t have to be a doctor to find some other words…. Go outside and ask the people, I can tell you that you know around 20 different names in less then 10 minutes (but noone knows where he/she heared about them :shock: )

Great explanation Marina. I think you might be missing a few crucial steps in it’s history but oh well. Anyways HFW and HFP are both dope as hell hot damn!!

Hmmm
Well Marina,
there is also another saying or meaning to Dope as well.
Although it is along the same lines as the dipping sauce.
many people I know refer to Flux and or a grease as pipe dope.
Its used to Solder joints in copper pipes as well as put together older iron Pipes in Barns etc.

just some food for thought

Bidets are primarily used to wash and clean the genitalia, perineum, inner buttocks, and anus. They may also be used to clean any other part of the body; they are very convenient for cleaning the feet, for example. Despite appearing similar to a toilet, it would be more accurate to compare it to the washbasin or bathtub. In fact, the bidet is used by some for a baby bath.

Users who are unfamiliar with bidets often confuse a bidet with a urinal, toilet, or even a drinking fountain. It is generally understood that the user should sit on a bidet facing the tap and nozzle for washing the genitalia, and should sit with back to the tap and wall when washing the anus and buttocks
