420 Game Answer
Here is the answer to the 420 game.
And the reason I asked if you all barbecue, it’s because most of us have grilled.. but the process of slow cooking meat for 10 hours over a raised wooden platform, ie: barbecuing, is not something most of us have done :-)
Word of the day by ...
Actually I believe the answer should be “pasture”. I know this is a bit late but I just found you.
About 30-35% of the weight of hempseed is hempseed oil or hemp oil, an edible oil that contains about 80% essential fatty acids (EFAs); i.e., linoleic acid, omega-6 (LA, 55%), alpha-linolenic acid, omega-3 (ALA, 22%), in addition to gamma-linolenic acid, omega-6 (GLA, 1-4%) and stearidonic acid, omega-3 (SDA, 0-2%). Hempseed also contains about 20% of a highly-digestible protein, where 1/3 is edestin and 2/3 are albumins. Its amino acid profile is close to “complete” when compared to more common sources of proteins such as meat, milk, eggs and soy.[ :idea: ] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemp the source :P The proportions of linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid in one tablespoon (15 ml) per day of hemp oil easily provides human daily requirements for EFAs. Unlike flaxseed oil, hemp oil can be used continuously without developing a deficiency or other imbalance of EFAs :grin: NietzscheSays claim exclusive rights in the concepts of “God,” “the truth,” “the light,” “the spirit,” “love,” “wisdom” and “life,” as if these things … Seedism

[Spice of Life Seeds]…my friend is in love with you :smile: …thank you teacher MARINA :cool:
in short 420 is pointless ..
:neutral: pasturization of milk
Marina,
I think it’s so terrible a student would defile your lessons with an ultered state of mind. Nevertheless could I have my bong back after class? :mrgreen:
Pasteurization.
Who let the cows out…their into the loco-weed :roll:
i came on hear to better my diction and i have :grin:
pastuerization he was the one to first pastuerize milk
That would be pasteurization. Didn’t even need to look at the comments below.
Pasteurization.
Pastourization is the the eponym. thank you for the lesson: I actually enjoy doing my homework for once!
Love your site :grin: The eponym is the word Pasteurization
I also have a word question….”Why was it not until I started playing Scrabble did I find out that there are u-less Q words?
High people must have made this:

Hi Gorgeous. The Eponym would be Pasteurization.
did u also know that 420 was the date of hitler’s birthday.. :twisted:
rules are changed here in holland for pod smokers in coffee shops
but also for people in cafes or in any other public places.
you may not smoke no more inside.
and for pod smokers its only allowed to buy but you can only smoke it at home.
even on the streets its actually forbidden now.
but i notice most of the cops dont even bother if i do.
:mrgreen: the man is my friend
Pasteurization
i think u should investigated the number 23
yes but why is the answer to life the universe and everything
42!?
think 42 gallons in a barrel of oil?
think jackie robinson?
or code 4:20 from San rafael stoners, ie whirled peas?
or 6 X 7, even better than 5 X 5 ?
I don’t think there is a better site on the net.
It’s family friendly and educational
Beware Men..
at any moment hotforwords may take over the world.
we can only be so lucky.
Not sure if this alternate theory has been mentioned yet, but I disagree with the San Rafael HS students theory because this one seems more plausible to me.
I think it came from the Bob Dylan song, “Rainy Day Women #12 and 35″– the “Everybody Must Get Stoned” song. Multiply 12 by 35– you get 420.
The eponym of Louis Pasteurs name is “pasteurization”. :grin: We have to think of an eponym for HotForTeacher. :?:
Dear teacher
As usual,…. you know what follows… interesting answer!
Louis Paster was a scientist who created a way to store food without a fridge. In french it is “pasteurisation”, so I’ll try to translate : a pastorisation?
Well, it allows to destroy the bacteria and it is often used for the milk. Thanks to that, no bacteria make the milk or food rot.
I hope that it is the good answer.
Thank you for the answer to the 420 game.
Amicalement, your devoted student,
Don Felipe
OoOoOOps
sorry i’va just seen that somebody else has given the good answer and the good spelling….
Shame on me
Hello Marina, i do have a request
why do we regard anything i rapid motion as fast, but something that has no motion as “stuck fast”?
One would assume, never having heard this phrase before, that it refers to something that is stuck in rapid motion, no?
Thanks for your work
Arrrg. Well better late than never. PASTEURIZE :razz:
Hello lovely teacher.
Thank you for starting Hot For Words, I love it. I’ve been a fan of new words and proper pronunciation for many years. Can you illuminate the origins and pronunciation of “mastoconcupiscence” please? I believe that I suffer from it, however when I watch your lessons, I think I enjoy it! Again, thank you for bringing education into the venue of YouTube and making learning so enjoyable!
for as long as it lasts, sincerely, your student

I would like to know the origin of the phrase “over and out.”
Its a Hollywood phrase. When communicating with someone via ham radio. It proper to say “Over” when your done speaking. This lets the other radio operator know when you have stopped talking and waiting for the other radio operator to reply. There is a lot of static on the radio so its hard to tell when someone has stopped talking. The word “Out” means you are done talking and not expecting a reply. Basically you are switching stations or turning off the radio. Now this is where Hollywood gets it all messed up. You never say Over and Out. What that means is that you have stopped talking and waiting for the other operator to reply but your not going to listen to their reply because you have indicated you have switch channels or turned off the radio. Its just pain rude! :mad: Leave it to Hollywood to get it wrong again. :mrgreen:

Sometimes I wish my wife would say “over and out” instead of over and over and over … :lol:
My Ñамый краÑивый учитель,
I would like to know the origins of the word/term;
‘AD HOMINEM’
I can tell it is Latin from it’s roots but I would like you to teach me more.
I see it a lot on political bloggs.
Adios and remeber I will gladly volunteer to stay after school!
It comes from Latin: ad = to, and hominem is the accusative form of homo = man.
It means an attack on your debate opponent, an attack to the man, rather than an attack on his argument. You make an ad hominem attack when your argument is too weak to stand on its own–you attack your opponent’s character rather than his argument, which is usually better than yours.
A classic example is the retort Dan Akroyd used to make in the Saturday Night Live panel debate skits from the old re-runs. Whenever he was losing the argument he’d say “Jane, you ignorant slut!” instead of coming up with a better argument.
What is the meaning of the word
Hermenegildo?
I would like to ask for the word “Romanticism” meaning the style of art.
Thanks :smile:
Now that you have covered Drugs, and since you have pretty much blanketed Sex, that leaves rock-n-roll.
There are very many words which come to mind. Here is a recent one.
Where did the word “guitar” come from?
Long ago, I suggested that you put a bibliography up on your web site.. My goodness, you are actually getting people interested in the origin of words.
Let me again suggest that your readers check out the very interesting book “the unfolding of language” by Guy Deutscher.
(Did you know that your style of teaching would be banned in the US, since it is interesting in different measure to the two obvious groups of students who would be exposed to it? I remember a similar type of material in a “learn Italian” class years ago. Not allowed in the US!)
I did not know that Gorgeous thanks. :grin:
hello marina my little guy who is 8 was wondering where the words autistic and autism came from he is autistic and loves your lessons
I second the vote :mrgreen:
Pastuerize. If this guy had discovered how to make milk safe we would probably just call it Disinfected milk.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolf_M._Zinkernagel
Yea, I agree that would make more sense calling Disinfected milk. But then its sound kind of dirty.
So now that we are on the subject of milk. Can Marnia talk more about the origin of the word mammary. Just kidding Marina. I really don’t care. :cool:
T’was Pasteurise, of course.
I think I have a request. what is the origin of the words Rock Bottom :?:
DO THE WORD PENIS :mrgreen: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin:
Word request: everybody knows this word but where did it come from ? – orgasm
thnx Marina
I second that…So many words…tax-day and clean living is needed….GOD Bless Marina and her HOTForWords…forever…*****^!^*******
Hi Marina,
Keep up the good work! Some suggestions for you:
*That’s water under the bridge*
*No sense in crying over spilled milk*
*The mile high club* (just curious who started referring IT to that)
*Mischievous* (and why pronounced different ways)
*Spoiler* (as in this article about the movie has spoilers)
*Junk in the Trunk* (is this a new phrase about big butts?)
THANK YOU!!
BOARGMIR
oops….forget Mischievous….it is pretty close to Mischief…which you covered recently.
BOARGMIR :wink:
oh yeah, almost forgot…
Who does your theme song and can i
download it? i zone in on catchy riffs…
Hi Marina,
I have a word for you tell us about… Machine
A well known Scottish robot. :lol:
Well I got both questions wrong. :cry: I guessed none of the above for the 420 question. And for the BBQ homework I was looking way to deep into the question to find an answer. I was going to post my homework answer but was just to busy to finish it. So on that note, Here is what I researched in the BBQ assignment.
William Dampier, Naturalist, Author, Buccaneer
William Dampier has more than a thousand entries in the Oxford English Dictionary ( maybe the same books Marina uses? ), and he introduced hundreds of words into the English language, including barbecue, chopsticks, cashew, sub-species, sea-breeze, sea-lion and kumquat.
Dampier’s powers of observation were astonishing. He was the first to deduce that winds cause currents and the first to produce wind maps across the world, which surpassed even the work of Edmund Halley.
So, why was a man so well-traveled, so highly esteemed and rife with accomplishment forgotten by history? It was because he also was a buccaneer! While Dampier was making his observations in nature, his buddies were off looting villages and capturing ships! While, it is not clear if he actively participated in the violence, some of his contemporaries certainly think so. It is not in dispute that Dampier shared in the spoils, and his life’s dream was to capture the Manila Galleon, a rich treasure ship from the Philippines.
Now was that interesting? :grin:
_/)__
Fascinating!
So, Jack, if you want to be remembered by posterity you’d better take off that silly hat and eye patch and don the Coastie’s hat again. :smile:
One sailor who is well remembered is Sir John Alexander Franklin who was lost in the Canadian arctic looking for the elusive north-west passage, which reminds me of a bumper sticker I saw once which I think you will appreciate.
“Support your local Coastguard. Get Lost!”
:lol: LoL. I have to find that sticker and put it on the back of my sailboat. :lol: You want the Merchant Marine Cap back on? Ok sure. I just change out the pictures from time to time. I use the pirate outfit to entertain the passengers on the cruise ship. Funny thing is it fools some of the guest. I remember hearing about one ladies comment. “Who was that crew member?” someone replied “That’s the night Captain!” The lady gasped. :shock:
What I wear is not a Coast Guard cap. It’s not a Navy cap either. Its a Merchant Marine cap. Many people say to me “Thanks for serving!”. I don’t correct them as I take the comment for when I served in the Persian Gulf back in 1988. MM cap is rarely used anymore. I’m trying to bring them back in use again by wearing it as often as I can tolerate it. Not very comfortable to wear. I do have to note that I can get dates very easy wearing it. The girls today still love a man in uniform.
The darn thing cost $300 US dollars. Not many captains care to spend $1,000 for a complete uniform if your not required to wear one and second having made fun of from your peers. Of course the best comeback on that one is tell them how much action you get every night.

Do the phrase bird brained!
ive allways wanted to know that origin
Hey Marina,
I was wondering what the origin of the words “defense” and “offense” was. Could you investigate?
Thanks!
Howdy – gosh you have a fun thing going here.
I was instantly under your spell – what a package :shock:
You make an old man feel young, and a young man feel foolish!
Yes it is Pasteurize. He developed the method used to kill bacteria in milk. Hence the process is named after Louie!
Ambivolent. I know it comes from the Latin “ambi” meaning “neutral” and “volere” meaning “I wish”, but whenever I claim that it means “I wish to remain neutral”, I get corrected. Can you prove me right/wrong?
So that’s what they were doing all those times :lol: Who’da thunk it :?:
codswallop????????????? whats this??? ;lol
to hear a pin drop? were did that come from darling …lol
Where did the word ague originate, and what was it called?
ilunga, shlimazl, radioukacz, altahmam, gezellig, saudade, selathirupavar , pochemuchka, or klloshar….. preferably the first word “ilunga”
“PROVOCATION” maybe this one????
Ух Ñ‚Ñ‹……. whats this mean?????????
I grill, yeah. For real BBQ I go to Boss Hawg’s (Their motto is “Horrifying vegetarians since 1995!), a local place that almost always wins the American Royal BBQ contest in Kansas City every year.
Unpasteurized milk is out-of-this-world, super great, fantastic especially in a frosted mug, just hard to find. Actually, almost everything we drink (in U.S) passes through a pasteurization process thanks–Louis. :idea: Hey, Andy, what about irradiation? Not much in these parts.
I’ve always wanted to know where either “flabbergasted” or “schism” came from.
Yeah same, flabbergasted would be cool.
Hello, I recently started watching your vids and was wondering if you knew where the 4 letter word ‘rift’ originated from. I know you normally do words with over 15 characters but I always wondered about this word for no real reason..
Two word suggestions:
“floccinaucinihilipilification” and “cacophony”
floccinaucinihilipilification she’s done, check her word list :)
Love the hissing cat avatar. :mrgreen:
Thanks! I actually found the picture on the internet when looking for a hissing cat to make a “demon cat” heh. The cat’s eyes are naturally yellow, I made a copy of the picture, colored the eyes red, then put them together in an animated GIF so that the eyes are flashing yellow and red. :)
Hey Marina, I was wondering if you know the history behind the word ‘Chimera’.
Thankx for the h.w! :smile:
I thought i was going to be the teachers pet, I got the BBQ question right :cry:
Hey Marina! Love these lessons, I stumbled upon them and now I am hooked. I have a word request…..the word is cocktail. How did this come torepresent and alcoholic beverage? Hope you can help! :smile:
HEY!!! LOVE YA VIDS!! :mrgreen: Request: I Want to know the origin of Catch-22. :?: Thanks and keep up the good work! :lol: :lol:
Yea that sound cool. I would like to know also. :grin:
Catch-22 is a book by Joseph Heller written in 1961. It is a satire, set in World War II, that makes fun of bureaucratic absurdities and the no-win situations they create.
Catch-22 is a reference to a bureaucratic catch that illustrates a bureaucracy so evolved that even the catches have official numbers for them.
If I remember correctly, a pilot had to fly a mission. The only way to avoid flying a mission was to be crazy. If a pilot said he couldn’t fly a mission because he was crazy, it proved he was sane because a crazy person wouldn’t say he was crazy. Since the pilot was sane, he had to fly the mission. The only way to avoid flying a mission…
:idea: :idea: :idea: How about teaching us a couple of Russian words and how to pronounce them,just to mix things up a bit. Thought it would be interesting :!:
Hey Marina (ampersand)
I was wondering where the word “Etcetera” came from. Heard it everywhere and was curious
Thanks for anything you can give me :grin:
Acheron9865
Et cetera comes from Latin: et (= and) and cētera (= the rest); cētera is the neuter plural of cēterus.
Hey Marina,
Seeing as you’re “hot for words”, I was wondering what the etymology of the word hot is. As in, when you say “Look at that girl, she’s hot?”
Does it come from an animal being in “heat”? Or from someone actually increasing enhanced hody temperature?
As it’s part of your slogan, I htink that it would be a wonderful word for you to define/give the etymology of.

Hi Marina,
I have 2 words I would like the history of, if you please.

lol :mrgreen:

I still want to know the definiton of Hacker :twisted:
Marina:
since we are full swing into election season, and we are getting inundated with ads and speeches here in Philadelphia, I was wondering the origin of the word
PANDERING
and what does it have in common with the Panda bear?
Louis Pasteur invented pasteurization. So, that’s the eponym.
prospero811, to continue the last post’s discourse on number theory and bases, for example, see the wikipedia post on the number 1729.
A quote from the page:
Because in base 10 the number 1729 is divisible by the sum of its digits, it is a Harshad number. It also has this property in octal (1729 = 33018, 3 + 3 + 0 + 1 = 7) and hexadecimal (1729 = 6C116, 6 + C + 1 = 1910), but not in binary.
If I find something odd or weird with 420 I’ll keep it to myself. I won’t further this conversation because you or turtlewax or Drew probably don’t really care what the number 420 can do in binary or octal forms. How’s that?(:~}
Hurry with any replies, gotta go somewhere real soon. :!:
I’m not that much of a mathematician. I pointed out the items regarding the number 420 in an attempt at humor, trying to come up with reasons to bring in the humorous myth about the number 23 (how it’s magically related to everything). I really don’t understand non-base-10 number systems, in all honesty. I’m sure I could, if I cared to spend the time on it, but truth be told, I don’t.
I think the joke fell flat.
Actually, I am trying for witty and pithy posts because I am dying for Marina to make me a teacher’s pet in a video, so the name Prospero will live on in youtube glory forever. I have not yet succeeded in dazzling her though. :lol:
Hey hey! Test school went bye bye :cry:
Marina made ME a TA (oh wow)
She has started doing the Teacher’ Pet
in her videos, again, and has a card
coming out for Christmas. Stop by and
post a comment, let’s her know you’re
still out there. See ya :grin:
I have a request its the word “renegade”, thankyou teachers pet = me LOLZ I WIN TEQH INTARNET!!!1
Milk is a killer!
Drinking un-pasteurised milk may make you sick but if, like Cleopatra, you bathe in it you may drown if it’s “past your eyes”. :roll:
I can’t drink processed milk. Im allergic to the pesticides used on bovine. :sad:
I love milk, still & I’m old. Just an interesting site that a friend told me to look at. http://www.notmilk.com/
hey marina!so..i would like to know where the word poetry comes from :grin:
By the way, I have some more words to request…
* Mulligan – basically a do over in golf, but rarely used anywhere else.
* Proof is in the pudding – Huh? Why does pudding always hold the proof?
* Shoot the breeze – How did this expression come about for talking?
* Cured Meat – What is it being Cured of?
* mayday – Isn’t May day May 1st. So why do pilots say mayday when they are going to crash?
* Screwed – When you can’t win, why are you called screwed?
* Assassin – Why is murdering a famous person called an assassination rather than a murder? Where does the word come from?
* Hooligan
* Poppycock, Hogwash, Balderdash, Bullshit – Why do we need so many ways to say you’re wrong. Where did they all come from?
* Shampoo – Why isn’t it just called liquid soap? Where did shampoo come from?
Why do I always request a bunch at one time? I guess I get inspried in waves. :)
Thank you my beloved teacher!!
Oops, Assassin wasn’t supposed to be on there. I forgot that you had already done that one.
Detention for Shane. Damn it!
Heh, Mulligan is used all the time in trading card games. If you don’t like your starting hand you can do a Mulligan.
An eponym is the name of a person, whether real or fictitious, which has (or is thought to have) given rise to the name of a particular place, tribe, era, discovery, or other item. I hope I can get your kiss my teacher SERHANCEM
I believe the answer you’re looking for is Pasteurize, as in Pasteurized Milk?
Just a guess. :)
