No that was wrong, a Condor is 4 under par. Double eagle or albatross seem to be the names for 3 under par.
One term for 3 under par, I believe, is a Condor. Someone made one in Denver, Colorado I believe, by hitting some amazing drive cutting off a dogleg.
I request {Gulf}… groovy to the golfers.. :lol:
Googled it. You are right, it is also an old game. But if you use the word “kolven” nowdays, its the other meaning:
De universiteit stelt voor haar medewerksters ruimtes beschikbaar waar zij borstvoeding af kunnen kolven.
ÐУ, И ЧТО ÐТО ЗРУРОКИ ТÐКИЕ???!!! ХОТЬ БЫ ОДÐО РУССКОЕ СЛОВО. ÐИЧЕГО ЖЕ ÐЕ ПОÐЯТÐО…

Dear Marina,
ПожалуйÑта, it was disturbing for me to see blood, even fake, photo- effect blood, coming out of you. Please, Teacher, do not show violence or injury to yourself in your lessons.
ПожалуйÑта
Hi Bogdan!
Bugs me too… but I find telling women what to do is never effective, or even advisable, as it restricts freedom of expression, No offence but if all the guys told Marina what they wanted her to do or not do and she did it, it would be worse than a freaky fillinni film (sorry filly) Best advise is tell them how you feel & for me that goes against my own privacy act, but only tell the ones you trust.
My goodness, that yellow… doesn’t Marina glow with an efervesent charm, unmatched, in the volumous archives of Youtube.
bogie
birdy
eagle
albatross
hey prospero811,i dint get what you ment in the email:mrgreen: can you just sent another email in detail!!!!!! :mrgreen:
spikyboy :cool:
All I know about Golf is the film, Caddyshack, and that I can’t play golf!!!
So be the ball……cannonball……..
oh, and why do golfers shout ’4′ and not another number or saying when they slice their erm, balls, at you, before stomping up and down and spitting the dummy, crying and getting all moody smashing up their clubs like it was the end of a Who concert…….never understood all that milarky.
See you at the 19th :wink:
Hello my dear teacher!!
Nice to get a homework right once in a while!!
I´ll try out with this new one as well…
One over par = bogey
One under paar = birdie
Two under par = eagle
Three under par = Albatross
Why these names by the way – what do birds have to do with good golfing?
Your dear student / Swedehunter
FUBAR—Is and acronym for “Fucked Up Beyond All Recognition”
1 over par = bogie
1 under par = birdie
2 under par = eagle
3 under par = albatross or hole in one on par 4, or double eagle.
ah but marina my dear, you are an eagle and 5 albatrosses.
wow
I wanted to tell you all a story. As you know I am a Buddhist golf caddy and had a great experience caddying for the Dalai Lama when I was serving overseas in the Navy.
So I jump ship in Hong Kong and make my way over to Tibet, and I get on as a looper at a course over in the Himalayas. A looper, you know, a caddy, a looper, a jock. So, I tell them I’m a pro jock, and who do you think they give me? The Dalai Lama, himself. Twelfth son of the Lama. The flowing robes, the grace, bald… striking. So, I’m on the first tee with him. I give him the driver. He hauls off and whacks one — big hitter, the Lama — long, into a ten-thousand foot crevice, right at the base of this glacier. And do you know what the Lama says? Gunga galunga…gunga — gunga galunga. So we finish the eighteenth and he’s gonna stiff me.
And I say, “Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know.” And he says, “Oh, uh, there won’t be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consiousness.” So I got that goin’ for me, which is nice.
While I was over there, I invented a new kind of golf grass. A hybrid – a cross, ah, Bluegrass, Kentucky Bluegrass, Featherbed Bent, and Northern California Sensemilia. The amazing stuff about this is, that you can play 36 holes on it in the afternoon, take it home and just get stoned to the bejeezus-belt that night on this stuff. Here, I’ve got pounds of this.
Ooops, sorry, gotta go – I’m going out with Lacy Underall tonight.
Wow, your going to get sued by Bill Murray, and the makers of caddyshack! Best part of the movie though.
For what? Parody?
It’s more plagiarism than parody, unless you give credit to the writer, or change it to make fun of it. Not that I care, do what ever you want.
This is a golf board. It’s evident to most anyone what I was doing and the source would have been obvious. And, anyway, even if not obvious, there’s no compensable injury here.
For anyone who doesn’t know where I got the material to base the above post – it’s the movie Caddyshack.
Happy?
I was never unhappy. You need to chill prospero. My original comment was also meant to be funny. As if I thought you would really be sued by the makers of Caddyshack. Time to dismount that elevated equine.
….elevated equine…. I love it!
Consider me dismounted!
I just got a cease and desist from Carl Spackler…..he says that it’s time “to teach me a little bit of a lesson” and ordered me to make no mention of “chinch bugs” or “nitrogen (some people don’t even know what that is).”
:lol:
Tried to warn ya! :razz:
Man are you dumb and ignorant!!
Why do you say that?
Dumb and ignorant? How ’bout that for an invective? Sheesh, Johnny M.!
“What’s the use of having ignorance if you can’t show it?” – Lou Costello
no offence, just interesting quote :razz:
It’s similar to what I heard one of my old professors say to a fellow student…. “sometimes it’s better to keep one’s mouth shut and let people wonder as to one’s ignorance than to open it and remove all doubt.” I used to know who he stole that from, but I don’t feel like looking it up right now.
:lol:
I believe it was S.L. Clemens (a.k.a., Mark Twain).
One over par is a Bogy
One under par is a Birdy

hey what does the saying ” sight for sore eye’s” comes from

Golf scoring is interesting. Marina described “par” as what it would “normally” take to get the ball in the hole. That’s not exactly true. Par is simply an arbitrary measure of even. Statistically, it is not “normal” to get par on a hole.
For example, “par for the course” is normally somewhere around 72 (sometimes as low as 69 and sometimes up to 73). Par for the course, meaning all the pars for each hole added up, usually 10 par fours, and 4 each of par 3 and 5.
However, who gets a 72? If one watches professional golf on television, even the top golfers in the world have to be play well to get a 72 or less.
What “normally” happens is that golfers do not par, but rather bogie and double bogie their way through the 18 holes. In fact, 75-85 percent of golfers don’t break 100 regularly. 100 is a 28 handicap.
Most golfers will not admit to hitting over 100, and normally if one says, “I might break 100″ other golfers will think you “suck.” Yet, meanwhile, you could very well be an average golfer.
I’ve found that there is a lot of lying in golf. Another word Marina might want to look into involving golf is the word, “Mulligan.” A Mulligan is a “do over” in golf, where players allow each other to re-take a shot that has gone awry. Mulligans can improve a person’s game considerably. And then there are technical rule violations that occur all the time (failing to properly drop a ball and take a penalty stroke, improving the position of a ball or even touching it while in the fairway or rough, and “fuzzy math” when calculating scores – not counting that last put that “should’ve been a gimme anyway” among other things).
In short, if someone regularly hits par, then that person is not a “normal” golfer, but is, rather, a fantastic golfer and probably in the top 1% of the game (as only 15-20% regularly hit under 100 at all). Improving one’s score from 99 to 72 is a huge undertaking, and gets progressively harder as one gets closer to par.
Also, a “condor” is a four under par score – a hole in one on a par 5 is a condor – or two on a par 6. This is also called a vulture, triple-eagle, or double albatross.
:arrow: par + 1 = bogie – named after pilot’s excuses for missing… “damn, I would have made that shot but I saw a bogey at 2 o’clock coming at me fast”.
:arrow: par – 1 = birdie – there must have been a small bird to move the ball closer to the hole to make the shot. This shot should really be called a squirrel or chipmunk as this is more likely on a golf green.
:arrow: par – 2 = eagle – it would take an eagle to carry that ball to the hole for you, which may be hard in Scotland if there are no eagles around ( :?: )
:arrow: par – 3 = double-eagle or albatross – right, like you’re going to find an albatross on the moors to move your lame shot to the hole for you. You’d have just as much luck as finding two eagles. Try claiming a double-eagle on a par 3 hole.
damn that should have been bogey not bogie, two different meanings altogether :oops:
One over par = Bogey.
One under par = Birdy.
Two under par = Eagle.
Three under par = Double Eagle, which on a par 4 hole would actually be a Hole-in-One!
bogie is 1 over par
birdie is 1 under par
eagle is 2 under par (except on a par 3, in which case it is a hole in one)
double eagle is 3 under par on a par 5 (but a 3 under par on a par 4 is a hole in one).
Love Your Hair Marina, that is a really cute style today.
Have a Great Week Gorgeous and Do Take Care.
An Admirer,
Billy

Hey H2W Long time viewer first time poster.
I agree with Slayn, i to would like to hear the origin of the word Pussy… :oops:

I would enjoy that but what if there are ties yours verses mine
Infact i thought about it and have to hear yours instead the encyclopedia was correct.
http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/pussy
I’d like to see you investigate the origin of “war.”

Where does the word Voodoo come from :?: And can I be tachers pet for this one :roll:
Voodoo is a religious tradition originating in West Africa, which became prominent in the New World due to the importation of African slaves. West African Vodun is the original form of the religion; Haitian Vodou and Louisiana Voodoo are its descendants in the New World.
It would probably be no exaggeration to say that Vodoun, (Vodun, Vodou) the traditional religion of Haiti, is one of the most misunderstood religions of all time. The persecution of Vodoun began when French slave owners, suspicious and highly afraid of practices unlike anything in their limited experience, outlawed the religion in Haiti. (In retrospect, they were probably right to be frightened- Vodou played a large part in Haiti’s successful slave rebellion) Hollywood hasn’t done much to rectify the issue, producing lurid tales of zombies, evil sorcery, and ritual murder, which reinforces the Western association of voodoo to images of black magic, curses, zombies, sticking pins in dolls, and human sacrifice.
Because of misunderstandings about the nature of Vodoun, many attempts have been made to rid the world of this “demonic” religion.
The answer is NO; you answered your own question. How on oyt is Mariner s’pose-ta ansa it now?
Why do people say “10:4″ when recieving a message over two-way radios?
What is this code for and how does the code work?
Also, why is “Roger” / “Roger Wilco” used for the same purpose?
Where do “Roger” and “10:4″ come from?
Love yah,
Mike
:?: what does that mean :?:
The short answer. Roger means “Affirmative” and Wilco is short for “Will Comply”. Roger Wilco code is being used today in the Maritime Industry.
Incidentally according to the “Morris Dictionary of Word and Phrase Origins” by William and Mary Morris(Harper Collins, New York, 1977, 1988). ROGER — “in the meaning of ‘Yes, O.K., I understand you — is voice code for the letter R. It is part of the ‘Able, Baker, Charlie’ code known and used by all radiophone operators in the services in the 40′s – 50′s.
From the earliest days of wireless communication, the Morse code letter R (dit-dah-dit) has been used to indicate ‘O.K. — understood.’ So ‘Roger’ was the logical voice-phone equivalent.” Also from “I Hear America Talking” by Stuart Berg Flexner (Von Nostrand Reinhold Co., New York, 1976).”Roger! A code word used by pilots to mean ‘your message received and understood’ in response to radio communications; later it came into general use to mean ‘all right, OK.’ Roger was the radio communications morse code word for the letter R, which in this case represented the word ‘received.’ ‘Roger Wilco’ was the reply to ‘Roger’ from the original transmitter of the radio message, meaning ‘I have received your message that you have received my message and am signing off.” Wilco implies “I will comply”
ORIGIN OF HAM SPEAK – FACT, LEGENDS AND MYTHS
http://www.ac6v.com/73.htm
Jack, isn’t “Roger Wilco” just as redundant as “Over and Out”?
Roger means “I have understood your message.”
Wilco means “I have understood your instruction and will comply.”
After all, you can’t comply with something which you haven’t understood.
Over and out is not redundant. Its a Hollywood blunder. :roll: No one properly using radios would ever say Over and Out. Its ridiculous to say that. :roll: Refer to : extrachapstick on April 21st, 2008 10:42 pm
I would like to know the origin of the phrase “over and out.”
http://www.hotforwords.com/2008/04/21/420-answer/
‘Over’ means you have finished your transmission and are waiting for the other station to transmit but saying ‘Out’ means I am turning off my radio or its like hanging up the phone in the middle of someone talking. Hence Over and out means the communication is back to you but im not going to listen to what you have to say because I have turned off my radio. :cool:
Roger Wilco means, I understand your transmission and will comply with the order. Or one could say Roger Negative. Meaning I understand your transmission but can not comply with order.
I personally say ‘Copy That’ or ‘Roger That’ in my communications with my crew.
About the ’10 codes’ Those are just CB codes. i.e. 10-20 = what is your location, 10-4 = Ok or affirmative. See:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten-code
Hope this helps. Thanks for asking :wink:

What is the origin of “Game” as in men’s strategies, day/night “pickup” or when high Alpha males “court” beautiful women in face-to-face interactions or when men master the “art of seduction,” who are known as “Master Pickup Artists?”
I would love to learn where this slang or phrase or origin came from???
warmly,
Nelson
Played all weekend here in Germany golf and tennis.Made lot’s of bogies= 1 over par. Made two birdies=1 under par. Did not make an eagle= 2 under par. And only on ocassion have I come close to a double eagleor albatros though I hit the pin on my second shot into a par five at least twice. Have not done it lately as German weather not great for golfing. Thank you Hotforwords. How bout tennis or some associated words Marina?
A sandbagger is a nasty species of golf vermin who lies about his true playing abilities
:cool: Oh yes Ive played with plenty of sandbaggers. My ability and game is true. My handicap is a 10. Believe it or not sandbaggers actually are better than they claim to be and will miss shots/ putts/ not try// so when they turn in their scores they put themselves in a better posiiton to compete in tournaments and try to win other folks money. They are a nasty species of golf vermin. Thanks for your reply!
:grin: :grin: :grin: :grin:
What is the “origin” of Big Ten?
warmly,
Nelson
Why do people say “10:4″ when talking over radios to confirm hearing a message?
What is this code for and how does the code work?
Also, why is “roger” used for the same purpose?
Where do “roger” and “10:4″ come from?
Love yah,
Mike
But why is “one over” called a Bogey? After all Bogey was cool so you would think that would be like the name for a hole in one!
Anyway…. here is a word Marina would have fun with:
Quark. A Quark comes in Flavors — Up, Down, Top, Bottom, Strange… and my favorite… Charm.
:grin: :grin: :grin: :grin:
1 over Par = Bogey
1 under Par = Birdie
2 under Par = Eagle, also a hole-in-one on a par three hole also results in an Eagle
3 under Par = Albatross or Double Eagle
4 under Par = Condor, or Vulture, Triple Eagle or Double Albatross
Remember Pars are a central element of “Stroke play” which is the most common type of play in professional Golf Tournaments.
A par is a specific number of strokes that a golfer should finish to complete a “hole”.
warmly,
Nelson
And yet… so often, we speak of getting to first, second, third base and so on…. Somehow golf seems better.
Yeah, but there’s no 7th inning stretch… :twisted:
Hey i would like to request a word.
The word is “Hatred”
Thx and hope u pick my word when u have time =)
Bogey, and Double Bogey for over par, Birdy for 1 under par, Eagle for 2 under par, double Eagle for 3 under par.
Yikes. It’s an Ace for 3 under par as pointed out below.. I only know the others sadly due to the Tiger Woods game for XBox 360 ;)
I have a word for you !!! LOL
Piobaireachd!!!!
Good luck !!!!
I would love to know the origin of the word Harangue and Heinous. I am not sure If i already asked but it may have been a while ago.
Keep making vids Marina :smile:
One over: Bogey
One Under: Birdie
Two Under: Eagle
Three Under: Ace (on a par 4)…otherwise it is an Albatross (on a par 5), and is more rare than an Ace.
Nice trick question.
k. explain the meaning and origin ( not by time if u cant do that ) of the word ( this describes you perfectly! ) smexy. ^_^
Understood… Dope, Golf, Heroin, what about dopamine (the chemical your brain produces during sex)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7uENb5DQhA&feature=related
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-7CVW9cUA0&feature=related
For the women And for the men please tell us the meaning of the word dopamine, where did it come from? the internet has never heard of it and you can check. Marina you would be amazing to do this for everyone.
Any thing you want marina. diamonds pearls .. bring us dopamine
Has anyone else ever heard of Dopamine?
substantia nigra …The function of the dopamine neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta is complex. Contrary to what was thought initially it is not directly linked to movements. “Dopamine neurons are activated by novel readings. :oops: :razz: :cool:
Let me add to that Dopamine is actually a chemical that your makes during sex that is the equivilant of the feeling you have using heroin and thats what i heard from the experts
…. i left out that your brain makes dopamine ……. interesting anyone else want to give it a poke :lol:
whoops… I left out that dopamine is linked to the limbex system in your body when dopamine is let out it has the equivilant of a heroin rush…..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNUrb4KUBfo&feature=related
:lol: sisghshshhh… :lol:

Hope you’re teaching summer school this year Ms. HotForWords :wink:
Really appreciate the extra help! :lol:
I was right! :mrgreen:
Golf is not my strong point, though – I know only the birdie, par and hole-in-one.
Whoever said “It is like school on Sunday; no class”, obviously never had a teacher quite so dedicated as Marina. Thanx so much!
I did watch any golf game; I watched the tennis game because our girls made into the finals.. I am sorry for the USA…
one over bogie, one under birdie two under eagle three under hole in one two over double bogie
Hey Marina,
As always lots of fun to watch and educational.
The word I’d like to know the origin of is leather.
Thanks,
David
Hey Marina, do you know where the word “dork” came from? I’ve been called that word all my life and I’ve always wanted to know where that word came from. If you don’t mind, could you tell me?
I would like to know the origin of the word stool pigeon. We all use it to describe a snitch or tattletale. What do you know? Kent
A Dork is a killers whales penis.
Yeah, and “dude” is the hair on an elephant’s butt! I actually heard someone proffer this asinine theory! Bleh! WTF? :roll:
Hi Marina
I was going to ask for the origins of my favourite word “serendipity” but you already did that – in fact – I was gobsmacked to hear that it was a common favourite word in my country.
Hey! How about investigating the word “gobsmacked”?
Love your site x
I would like to request. When and how did the word “love” come around?
I really like your lessons. :mrgreen:
Well since I missed getting the answers in before everyone else did, I’d like to make a word request.
How did the word “aftermath” come to be used as it is today?
Thanks teacher!
Sorry for being tardy!
Tee Hee.Im out of town..Iv done that before..lol,,5 stars
Guess what I kinda do for a living; I am sorta a Hacker I would still like a video of that btw thanks marina for doin the word horny on your radio show. And aparently someone else on youtube would love to see this as a video. BTW I mean Computer Hacker :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
ok here is what i found
-4 Condor or Vulture (or triple-eagle) four strokes under par
-3 Albatross (or double-eagle) three strokes under par
-2 Eagle two strokes under par
-1 Birdie one stroke under par
0 Par strokes equal to par
+1 Bogey one stroke more than par
in credibly blue :roll:
Golf is a good excuse to drink and gamble. No Women or Kids.
uh oh I never played a round of golf in my life. I’ll have to cheat and look it up in a reference source. As to the answer to this theory of the word origin of golf i still think its #3. I will just agree to disagree and defer to your more authoritative wisdom. I have no OED.
hello teacher…
word “ESPIONAGE”
good luck
by the way, are you single … ? :D
No, she ain’t single; she has a twin sister. :smile:
The mirror has been spying on them so I know. :wink:
Hi Marina,
Once again, these guys are hella quick on the draw…Oh well.
mking nailed it, first try on this one. Good on ya!
It’s interesting how a 3 under par is seldom heard being called an albatross in the States. I’ve usually heard 3 under par referred to as a double eagle, though. Americans really like eagles. Go figure… But on a par 4 hole it’s obviously a hole-in-one, as was also aptly observed by our lightning-fast classmate mking. Nice job! I’ll just move my desk to the back of the room now…
So how about telling us the origin of “usufruct?” Is it different than “squatter’s rights?” If so, what is the distinction?
Correction: mking3
the word “ombudsmand”
Hi Dear Teacher..
Would you tell us the origin of the word ace?..:-)

the answer to the homework. . .
1 over par is a bogie
1 under par is a birdie
2 under par is an eagle
3 under par is an albatross. . .but on a par 4 hole it is also, A hole in one!
thats easy, Im sort of my dad’s caddie :wink: I can´t ever watch tv because he needs to watch golf :evil: so boring-.-
1 over par = Bogey
1 under par = birdie
2 under par= Eagle
3 under par= Officially it’s albatros altough i have never heard anyone say it… on tv they just say double eagle i think.
i gues i accidentally hit someones “reply” button…..it’s supposed to be a normal comment.
Watching golf on tv can not be as boring as watching a game of poker on tv. At least there’s a chance of a Golfer hitting something in the air with the golf ball. :lol:
I thought it was #3,wrong again :oops: Guess I’ll have to take more lessons YEAH!!! :grin:
hey i got it right
A question: Couldn’t scottish kolf come from dutch kolven?
A wish: I would like to see a video about the word that everybody knows. The word that as a noun refers to a little plant and a food that everybody tried, the word that as an adjective means unsubtle and uncool and as a verb means something that only ladies and infants would do.
Marina has it surely figured out by now.
Parliment may have restricted golf, but in 1425??
+1=bogie
par=par
-1=birdie
-2=eagle
-3=double eagle (or on a par 4=hole-in-one also)
Oh well, may have been wrong but the 1425 doesn’t seem right either.
Hello My dear teacher: You asked if we noticed a trend in your answers, and yes I have. The answer is usually #2. You better switch it up a bit. By the way why do we Americans always say ‘up’? “hey catch up” “hurry up” “look me up” What’s up with saying up?
Get down with your funky self.
:twisted: Guess what I kinda do for a living; I am sorta a Hacker I would still like a video of that btw thanks marina for doin the word horny on your radio show. :twisted: And aparently someone else on youtube would love to see this as a video. :twisted:
what does goth originate from?

Amicalement

Sweet… Congratulations Labatt78 :smile: Have a great day, get out & Golf if the weather in Illinois is good. The Stanley cup won’t be won for a while yet. Cheers
ty Billy B. I forgot to tell you congratulations from a few days ago as well. Well sadly it was supposed to rain today. Yeah it is going to b awhile before any champ is crowned. First, I got my answer right then out of nowhere I’m a teacher’s pet. Nice! I’ve been getting a few more friends on you tube lately. Ok Billy B I hope you have a good day! :smile:
Good Morning Marina,
You look ready for summer, the hairstyle looks great.
I finally got a correct answer! Yeah!
Thanks
I tried to DIGG the Radio show and couldn’t. Why not?
I get it now. I tried to DIGG this lesson and it asks for a Link.
Sorry, I’m really new at this.
Have you registered with DIGG yet?
1 over par = bogie
1 under par = birdie
2 under par = eagle
3 under par = albatross
But you couldn’t get an albatross on a par 4, because a 3 under par would mean you got a ‘hole in one’ :wink:
what about a “double bogie”?
Right, but she didn’t ask for what you call a 2 over par :wink:
And I suppose there’s “score” as well, which is a triple-bogey.
And a “snowman” is an 8 on a hole, or quadruple bogey on a par 4, but a triple bogey on a par 5.
An “ace” is a hole in one.
from where does the word misantroph come?
do you mean misantrope?
oops! misantropia or misanthrope?
misanthrope (in English, at least)
Da! Englische! Gut!
misanthrope. – other “mis” words:
misfortune, mistake, miserable,
mischievous, misguided….
where does the word gal come from?
thanks.
