    where does the word gal come from?
    thanks.

    from where does the word misantroph come?

  • mking3

    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:

  • Warren

    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?

  • melikadothechacha

    what about a “double bogie”?

  • BillyB

    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

  • mking3

    Right, but she didn’t ask for what you call a 2 over par :wink:

  • melikadothechacha

    do you mean misantrope?

  • Warren

    I get it now. I tried to DIGG this lesson and it asks for a Link.
    Sorry, I’m really new at this.

  • melikadothechacha

    oops! misantropia or misanthrope?

  • tayljim

    1 over bogy
    1 under birdie

    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:

  • geronimo

    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?

  • okay4now

    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.

  • 2demanding

    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.

  • runawayscott

    hey i got it right

  • air-z

    I thought it was #3,wrong again :oops: Guess I’ll have to take more lessons YEAH!!! :grin:

  • zachary

    Yay! I got it right!
    another great video; you look good rockin the yellow raiment
    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!

    Hi Dear Teacher..
    Would you tell us the origin of the word ace?..:-)

  • victorkarl

    the word “ombudsmand”

  • pennsyltucky9

    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?

  • theonetek

    hello teacher…

    word “ESPIONAGE”

    good luck

    by the way, are you single … ? :D

  • stokesjrj1

    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.

    -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

    Sorry for being tardy!

  • headwaves

    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

  • foxbow

    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.

  • devijelly

    I would like to request. When and how did the word “love” come around?

    I really like your lessons. :mrgreen:

  • foxbow

    i gues i accidentally hit someones “reply” button…..it’s supposed to be a normal comment.

    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?

    Hey Marina,

    As always lots of fun to watch and educational.

    Golf is not my strong point, though – I know only the birdie, par and hole-in-one.

    k. explain the meaning and origin ( not by time if u cant do that ) of the word ( this describes you perfectly! ) smexy. ^_^

  • gpt29

    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.

  • cimska

  • icedragon871

    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.

    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 ;)

  • cimska

    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.

  • lhatredl

    Hey i would like to request a word.
    The word is “Hatred”
    Thx and hope u pick my word when u have time =)

  • http://www.nelsonsbeltran.org nbeltran

    :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

  • duround

    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.

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.

    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.

  • http://www.myspace.com/sexiboy 2hot4words

    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 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”

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!

  • Bob

    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.

  • nlsmafia2008

    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:

  • prospero811

    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).

  • http://TropiCoolUniverse.com surfinri

    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!

  • hutchiee

    :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.

  • hutchiee

    damn that should have been bogey not bogie, two different meanings altogether :oops:

  • prospero811

    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.

  • prospero811

    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.

    One over par is a Bogy

    Two under par is an Eagle
    Thre under par is an Albatrose

  • prospero811

    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.

    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.

  • nematoad3

    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.

    One under paar = birdie
    Two under par = eagle

    Why these names by the way – what do birds have to do with good golfing?

    Your dear student / Swedehunter

  • matalexwolf

    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:

    Пожалуйста, 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.
    Пожалуйста

  • BillyB

    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.

  • prospero811

    Why do you say that?

  • prospero811

    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?

  • geronimo

    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.

    no offence, just interesting quote :razz:

  • prospero811

    ….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:

  • prospero811

    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.

    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.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Michael-Bauers/833453255 Michael Bauers

    No that was wrong, a Condor is 4 under par.  Double eagle or albatross seem to  be the names for 3 under par.
