Gird Your Loins (Game)

I guess choice 2!

You look great in yellow. You should have, however, demonstrated the process of girding the loins – maybe a little Princess Warrior outfit, or something like that. :wink:

during the roman-era to “gird your loins” meant to draw up and tie your lower garment between your legs to increase mobility and agility. this prevented the loose ends of your garment from getting tangled up with something on the ground or your feet. :idea:

Hi Marina. You look amazing in all your videos. I checked over the words that you have done and there wasn’t the word Peace. Peace as in, when people say bye to each other and peace as in for countries and the world. Do they have anything in common and how did each word come up to be used to way it is? If you can’t do that word, try butterfly. It has the word fly and butter in it but neither have anything to do with the insect. Thank – you Marina. Again, I love your videos and I hope you use one of these words as your next one. Thank – you, goodbye. Or should I say peace? Haha.

It’s 1, 2 and 3!

Slicker than cat snot on a door knob.

Hello, my lovely teacher, Ms. Marina!
(It is Miss, right?)
;)
I would like to know where the word “Love” came from. :D

Please and thank you,
Ben

oops! Wo means “where”, not what
guess i shoulda slowed down

Ich bin ein berliner.

I’m not sure. Maybe chasing Marina’s evil twin.

Dear teacher
Argh ! Another idiomatic sentence…. As I am really a newbie with this kind of sentences and that we are not allowed to google it up, I’ll try to guess. I propose number 3 (well there is a lot of loan words these times so….)
Thank you for the game

Ok then. Peace is the word I want.

Dear fellow student
It could be worse, once you have been the teacher’s pet once, what do you wait for?
You will have one day the great pleasure to hear your name said by the teacher. Just wait

i would like to know where the word nincompoop came from. please tell me. youre beautiful and the best!!

Hello my teacher i was woundering were the word thong cam from and why do we call it that ?

Answer = â„–2 (HINT: used in Proverbs 31:17 and is used of a woman).

I vote for #2. I remember the phrase from the bible. An archaic custom from the time before pants were invented, back in the days when everyone wore a dress or a shower curtain and the fashion industry (and underwear) hadn’t yet been invented. Ah, the good old days…

That’s two words—unless you spell it “thongcam” or request the phrase “thong cam”. :mrgreen:

I’ve never heard the expression “gird your loins” before! I have know idea what it means. So a wild guess is in order. Number 1?

Привет!
It seems like #2 is the most popular answer, but since I had been leaning toward #1, and since I think that Roman soldiers were brave but not reckless…
…what did Roman soldiers call the piece of armor that protected their family jewels?

sounds like a town in southeast asia

In Shakespeare’s day, that would
have been a codpiece

I wanna be the Teacher’s Pet! LOL :lol: Lyrics sung by a blond bombshell from a different era – Doris Day:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9ouLrgvneE&feature=related

Teacher’s pet (pa dum pa dum pa dum)
I wanna be teacher’s pet (pa dum pa dum)
I wanna be huddled and cuddled as close to you as I can get
(That’s the lesson we’re guessin’ you’re best in)

Mm, teacher’s pride (pa dum pa dum)
I wanna be teacher’s pride (pa dum pa dum)
I wanna be dated, paraded, the one most likely at your side
(Ya got a burnin’ yearnin’ to learn)

I wanna learn all your lips can teach me
One kiss will do at the start (are you really?)
I’m sure with a little homework
I’ll graduate to your heart (to your heart)

Teacher’s pet (pa dum pa dum), I wanna be teacher’s pet (pa dum pa dum)
I wanna take home a diploma and show Ma that ya love me, too
(That ya love me, too)
So I can be teacher’s pet long after school is through

(Oh, teacher’s pet) Mm, mm
(You wanna be teacher’s pet) Ah. ah
(You wanna be huddled and cuddled as close to him as you can get)

I wanna learn all your lips can teach me
One kiss will do at the start
I’m sure with a little homework
I’ll graduate to your heart

Teacher’s pet (you love the teacher), I wanna be teacher’s pet (pa dum pa dum)
I wanna take home a diploma and show Ma that ya love me, too (Wow!)
So I can be teacher’s pet (yeah!) long after school is through

Privyet Marina. While we’re discussing “girding your loins”, on a similar note, where did the old English word “codpiece” originate? At one time it was considered essential as a piece of a man’s haut couture…
(I’m pretty sure your male fans are wondering what you gird your loins with.)

melikadothechacha, it appears we thing alike (re: codpieces) …. that’s certainly a disturbing thought!

Hi, Marina!

Every where I go, it seems no one can say my name right! it is a common Irish word, I’m told – so here we go..

What is the proper way to say “Colleen” and where did it come from? (I do know what it means, according to baby name books, it means “irish girl” or “girl” but i have no idea how the term came to mean any general irish girl walking down the street and not one particular irish girl’s name)

Even my sister’s boyfriend says it all wrong. My family pronounces it the way webster’s dictionary does (you can listen online at m-w.com, i believe).

Anyway, I’m tired of being called Collean or Clean or Kolleen! A shoutout of the proper pronounciation would be great =)

Thanks!

:shock: GIRD MY WHAT?!

Oh…I thought you said “logins”.

I am going to go with the obvious: choice number 1. I am pretty sure that it had to do with preparing for battle and putting on the gear which is most likely the first armor ever created. Who needs to keep the head, heart, arms, or legs safe from a slashing sword? No, a man must not lose his “manhood” else his line would perish.

MAN! just put a polish on the apple!

Yeah… I saw some action in Thong when I was in the ‘Nam. It got pretty hot down there…

more the humidity than the heat. :mrgreen:

Ain’t the Internets wonderful? :lol:

I just discovered this site today. Great work, Bravo!
I have two requests: Perfume and Jasmine.

Thx, Merci.

Hi teacher. :grin: Looks like you tried to fool us with the first choice. :twisted: To gird means to encircle as with a belt but I just don’t buy that a soldier would tie up his genitals before a fight. It dosn’t seem that it would do mutch good and it sounds kind of painfull. :shock:

I think I’ll go with number two. Tying up your robe before a fight to free your leggs makes sence and you are “girding” or encircling your waist or your “loins” when you do so. :grin:

Thanks for the game.

I think it was called the Gladious…..lol

I am pretty good at this guessing game so I say #2. #1 and 3 both sound rather silly while #2 sounds the most reasonable. :mrgreen:

Shower curtains predate underwear? :shock:

Yeah, but man NEEDS his head, heart, arms, and legs to keep his manhood alive… :sad: :roll: :razz:

in credibly blue :roll:

there’s a flower in your hair …
i’m a flower in your hair …

i’ve got no trace about the answer …

i surrender …

WTF …

Gird up your logins? Kenny? Hmmmm, not sure if he’d go for that, but ya never know….

Don Felipe is correct.
Once your dream has come true you have nothing more to look forward to.
Patience.
Enjoy the anticipation.

I don’t want to be her pet any more.
I want to be the flower behind her ear.
Think of the view from up there.
Like flying over the African Rift Valley. :twisted:

Ah, but what is living without your “loins”?

And it smelled like Nuoc mam all the time.

Ok I never heard of this phrase before. So Im going to make a EWAG (educated wild ass guess). :mrgreen: With what I know of garb used in S.C.A. gatherings. Im going to have to go with #2.

It’s No. 2 again.
From the same root we get girdle, a garment worn around the area below the ribs and above the hips to hold in the wobbly bits.

jajajaja muy gracioso amigo, where exactily are you from in Spain ?

While I personally prefer the use of the belt as in #1 to provide me a degree of protection, the original expression was used as in Marina’s #2.

Marina…my dear…please do “grain of salt.”

It’s number one, the Roman thing. I think! Gird your loins makes sense if it’s about strapping then up in protection, given the origin of ‘gird’.

And if they’re strapped up that means they’re safe and ready for use, right? Instead of being ripped off or bitten off in battle (ouch)!

I’m not sure how relevant it is, but in some cultures there’s a rich tradition of men inserting various objects into their manhood – sticks, pearls, metal rods etc. The theory is the more lumpy the member the more stimulation it can give. Sounds to me like they’re taking this whole “Gird Your Loins” thing way too far.

I don’t know, something tells me the correct is Nro 2, I’ve never hear anything about that phrase but I think it is the second one

How deep did you go into the bush when you where in Nam, Pros? :mrgreen:

I would suspect that Marina’s loin are usually gird about with something from Victoria’s Secret…

I don’t know where we are at. I can’t see anything beyond my cage.

Yea you guys might be right. Now I’m to the point that I don’t want to be a teachers pet. If I get picked then I would have to leave S.O.U.P. :cry: And Your all my friends and I’ll miss you guys. :cry: And I don’t want left out on the street. :mrgreen:

It’s #2. The loins is the abdominal region and the area about the hips. The bible uses both the Hebrew words Chala-tsa’yim (loins) and moth-na’yim(hips). To “gird up the loins” meant to gather up the ends of the robes under the sash to facilitate physical activity.

I know the answer is number 2.

Word request Marina. Or rather two sets of words. I ment to ask this under the Lieutenant vid, but …

Major General. And why is it that a Lieutenant General out ranks a Major General?

:twisted:

Except being chosen twice! Thrice! — Oh, man! :shock:

(snicker :lol: )

Oh funny Pros :!: You spent some time on that lyrics. :grin: Good Job!

Mel, I think I know what kind of Apple Marina wants. An Apple Powerbook. :mrgreen:

Flower behind the ear has a short life span. Just be a pet, Bob, Be the bird. Think like the bird. Speak like the bird.

Hey Marnia what for dinner! I want something that taste like chicken tonight! :mrgreen:

I would like to know the origin of B.C. and A.D. And please make me teachers pet. Not just an apple but apple carmel peacon pie for teacher.

No.2 sounds good.

Word request: As I watched you eat in the lootenant video I became hungry and some sandwiches with mayonnaise. It got me wondering where the word mayonnaise comes from and what does it mean? it sounds very frenchy to me.

I’ll go with #1 – my first thought when reading the expression was of a chastity belt. Which reminds me, where does that term come from anyway? Chastity belt…

Actually, Cap’n, about 3 minutes on youtube!

Like Marina has ever done that before. :neutral: If I was chosen twice I would run out today and buy a lotto ticket. :lol: The odds of the lottery are much better than being picked twice! :mrgreen:

I vote for option 1.

How did “cleave” come to be its own opposite?

Thanks,
turtle

Howdy, Eric!
Are you really part of the Society for Creative Anachronisms? Why an EWAG and not a Scientific Wild Ass Guess?
Hope all is well.
~Dave

They’re all odd, but I’d go with #1.

Word request: I’d like to know the origin “cold turkey” as in “Quitting smoking cold turkey”.

Mayonnaise is French – just like Dijonaise and Hollandaise it takes its name from the city in which it (supposedly) was invented. Mayonnaise originally meant it came from Mahon in Spain.

Here in England we have Worcestershire sauce, which is kind of the same thing. But what about Thousand Island Dressing? For real?

Maybe teacher can tell us about where the Thousand Island Dressing name came from – I bet there were never really 1000 islands who got together to invent a cocktail sauce…

Pretty deep, Cap’n – got into a tight spot a few times, but luckily I had my gun….or is it rifle…. ? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTmKjUTBo9U&feature=related

Actually, Cap’n I had posted my comment the same time you posted yours, so read Bob’s comment above, that’s what I was commenting on. (Bob replied on May 7th, 2008 3:46 pm:).

JFK fan? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ich_bin_ein_Berliner#Jelly_doughnut_urban_legend

“My evil twin, bad weather friend
He always wants to start when I want to begin*
It scares me so, like I scare myself
With that book of Nostradamus up upon my shelf

Playing hangman ’til the morning light
Doing donuts on the neighbors lawn
Then sleep all through the day, get up and start again
I can hear some sirens somewhere but I don’t know why

My evil twin runs home again
Search lights look for an alibi, but I’ll be home by then

Here he comes again, my evil twin
My friends have seen him hiding underneath my skin

Who cut the arm off the voodoo doll
That resembles a Republican president from long ago
I’d hate to see you leave
‘Cause I have grown so grateful for the
Blame you save me from

My twin
My twin
My twin

(My twin) I know he looks like me
(My twin) Hates work like me and walks like me
(My twin) He’s even got a twin like me

My evil twin, bad weather friend
I know some day I’ll meet him
But I don’t know where or when”

– They Might Be Giants

Tie it up? I usually just wrap it around my leg a couple times, and it stays put – keeps me from tripping on during battle. :razz:

… with an ingredient from each island! :razz:

That’s some fucked up lyrics! Neither Zappa nor Oingo Boingo did any shit like that!

#1 sounds pretty painful.
#3 is just made up.

So I will go with #2.

But I just watch the videos for the bloopers at the end.

Wobbly bits? Are you referring to the meat and two veg? :lol:

Let me take a minute to tell you my plan
Let me take a minute to show who I am
If it doesn’t show, think you better know
I’m another person – FVZ
cheesy, cheesy :mrgreen:

Francis Vincent Zappa said that? :mrgreen:

LOL, turtlewax – funny! Yes, I know the JFK thing is an urban legend, but it sounds better than the truth. And, I know very little German. I think that that “ich bin ein berliner” may be the only sentence I can type!

And, jelly donuts can provide humor: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IayHnA0cGuc

My friend once sang me a song that went like this….

You put the pickle in the pickle put the pickle in the groin
The groin in the pickle and the pickle in the groin

That goes on for a bit. But it ryhms with loin so I thought I would share.

P.S. choice 1 sounds painful

Considering whenever I hear the phrase it is meant to mean protect your vulnerable areas, and so I am going to assume not much has changed in the meaning and will therefore say that the first explanation is the correct one.

dastheboss2, was your friend drunk when he sang it to you? :razz:

P.S. What’s your guess? 1, 2, or 3?

I think that the answer is #2.

Where does the word orgasm come from :?:

Where did the word “horny” as in sexually excited come from, according to the “DaVinci Code” it came from a Egyptian god who had rams horns. Also I heard it comes from a Rhinocerous horn Which is considered an Aphrodisiac in some culture. Personally I believe the former.

This puts me in mind of another expression: “fill your boots.”

Meaning have your fill, take full advantage – usually in a sex context, Is this a British thing only or do US people say it too? Anyway, what on earth has sexual gratification got to do with footwear?

Yepper. Ol’ Frank did a bunch
of backward masking on the cut
for the next lyric which is:

Shut yer f__kin’ mouth
about the length of my hair
Who the hell are you to say
You think I don’t care
How could you survive
If I weren’t alive
S__tty looking person – FZ

I think he had a little anger
it was ’68 at the time

Ask the foot-fetishists! :roll:

Naw, that’s just the Zapster! He always had arcane lyrics. :mrgreen:

too funny!

:???: I`wandering if she could explain the word “bravo” which is written in the same way in different languages :wink:

TWO REQUESTS:

1) The word orgasm.
2) The orgasm word.

:mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

To gird your loins during the Roman Era meant to draw-up and tie your lower garment between your legs as to increase your mobility and agility…

I’m wondering why you’re wandering… :razz: :wink: :mrgreen:

i think its number one… so #1 FTW!!!

I believe ithis would be number 2.

I’m going with 1, it makes sense from a guys perspective

LOL :twisted:

hip-hop…….

This is my weapon this is my gun this is for shooting this is for fun.

:twisted:
I was wondering if you could please find the origin for the word:

Pwn

It is used in video games to say “own” but it basically means “Player one, OWNED, Player Two.”

Thanks!

Or that was what I was taught.

Ouch. :twisted: ..I don’t care how rough the battle would be…moving a muscle, even that one, with a belt around it would be a grave impediment. As to steaks, I think that is a bit far fetched. :lol:

Based on the usage I’m familiar with from literature and elsewhere, Number 2, seems correct. In preparation for doing much in the way of work, you would want to shorten the long robe for greater mobility. :neutral:

Your unworthy student…

I am going with #3. In the event of a storm you would want to protect the lifestock…. Request for the word- ” humdinger”
thanks…

#2 is tha correct answer tht should me me ur teacher pet yes :mrgreen:

Teach, This means tie up your junk and get ready for War. :twisted:

lock and load,

baton down the hatches

I go with origin # 1 Marina. :cool:

Unfortunately I fear we shall never know…
It will probably remain Marina’s Secret, as well it should, but still Inquiring minds want to know….

Here is my theory. :grin:

The modern calendar measures our years starting from the year of the birth of Christ. Years B.C. count down the years “Before Christ.” i.e. 1 BC is 1 year before Christ, 100 BC is 1 hundered years before Christ etc.

After Christ was born we come into the modern era A.D. This is Anti-Domini, A.D.; After Christ. i.e. 1 AD is the first year after Christ’s birth, 100 AD is the hundredth year after Christ’s birth etc.

There’s a good word to research…..”cocktail” I’d love to hear the origin of that one :roll:

i just have a feeling that theory #1 sounds too convenient somehow, so i think the answer might be theory #3. (I hope I am right)

by the way, great show again marina :grin: Looking sexy as ever :mrgreen: 5 stars from me :mrgreen:

Marina:

It is answer # 1. Does this mean we male students should gird our loins prior to each class? Thank you for yet another wonderful lesson from our beautiful, intelligent teacher. Intelligence is not only sexy, it is downright intoxicating.

Bill

Marina – I would like to know what the origins of the words

Obfiscation and Juxtaposition. I hope the spelling is correct.

Compliment you on how beautiful you are today.

Player

Beloved teacher,

I respectfully submit to you that the traceable origin is the Bible.

2nd Kings Chapter 4 verse 29 : “Then he said to Gehazi, gird up thy loins and take my staff and go thy way.”.

Given the garments worn at the time I submit it was to prepare for physical freedom of movement.

Your humble student
Larry

Man must have figured that out after some time…and eventually devoloped the full suit of armor. Still…it would have been better live peacefully and not have to worry about an unplanned “loinectomy.”

:oops: I change my mind its number 1 :oops:

The loins are between the lower ribs and pelvis. It is often used when describing the anatomy of humans and quadrupeds (such as horses, pigs or cattle). The anatomical reference also carries over into the description of cuts of meat from some such animals, eg. tenderloin or sirloin steak.

The term also loosely refers to human genitals due to their prominence in that anatomical region. Hence “fruit of one’s loins” means children.

A loincloth is a one-piece male garment, sometimes kept in place by a belt, which covers the genitals and, at least partially, the buttocks.

===============
My Choice: # 1

Oddly enough, we used to call Thousand Island Dressing “Russian Dressing.”

Marina: (Or anyone that knows)

How do I get a picture to show in my avatar? I have visited my profile modification page and I do not see an option for uploading a photo or supplying a web address for a photo. Thank you.

I think we can all loin from this….

Dear HotForWords Teacher,

If I grid my lions how may I feed them? They do so much better free foraging among the populace.

Y2K gave me dyslexia. :arrow:

You look soooo HOT Tonight :!:

I think it’s #3

Without meaning to sound crude, I always thought it was a simple matter of the male “reproductive protruberence” resembling a beast’s horn when, er, cocked and loaded… :wink:

But how did they count the years going by Before Christ? They can’t have agreed on a date for a forthcoming messiah – so what number system did they use? Or did they simply not bother numbering their years?

it’s one word. a compound.

:grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :cool:

#2

Nelson

hey! I was wondering what the word Hegemon comes from. I know its greek and means leader but thats it… and your shows are awesome. I think its easier to retain info when its taught by a gorgeous lady:wink: and another word i’d like to know about is Raiden? haha sorry i’m asking alot you can definitely tell i’m a noob..

Great googly-moogly! I had a feeling I’d come to the right place when I enrolled at this school. FZ fans are here? Splendid! I’m in you!

While they all seem like reasonable answers, I’m going to have to go with #2 because I believe word gird comes from the term “To Gird Up” which roughly means “To Tighten Up, As In A Belt” :smile:

Whats the origin of the phrase eye for an eye? :grin: :mrgreen: :lol:

Both captain jack and me want to be the teacher’s pet, it doen’t matter if it take out dream, we are looking forward for it….
We are really motivated :mrgreen:

Thank you..it worked.

LOL!!! YOU SAID GENITALS!!!! :oops:

wordlover, keep this up and we’ll have to explain to Marina about the Three Stooges and why Curly was called Curly! Look at the grouse!

Nice video, I was wondering where the words Matthew or Mathieu came from. Thanks ^^

Why can’t we just be free?
cuz half of us are just too blind too see

Yowsa, yowsa, yowsa!!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

I’ll guess #1
Sounds like it evolved even more to become-
“Jockstrap” with a “Protective Cup”

Word Request: This may be pushing the limit a bit but — just where did ‘hotforwords’ originate?

Thanks, Hitman! Can’t be TOO careful what with them Nazis over-down there at the South Pole… :eek:

Or so the Germans would have us believe…………… :neutral:

Hey, I have a word that could be interesting , and a little funny.

“cocky”

I’m actually interested in what you have to say about the origin and use of this word. Thanks, love you vids!

Hey, i’ve been hearing this word lately and i have no idea what it means. Seeing as my teachers explanation in my opinion wasnt so valid i thought id ask you. Could you please tell me what Reciprocity means and where is comes from? :neutral:

i’m thinkin #2 sounds the most reasonable of the three.

“BC” and “AD” were concepts conceived MUCH later.

“I will show you the Three Stooges…”
—Jerry Seinfeld

“ad” stands for “anno domini”.

Can I change my answer?
I watched it again and #2 seems to make more sense.

It originated with us—gettin’ all hot and bothered for Marina—I mean, words—I mean, Marina— :shock: :shock: :shock: :mrgreen:

I would suspect that Number 1 would be right. I know you did the word para sometime earlier but i was wonder what your take on my last name in reference to your para lesson. (paradine)

S.O.U.P.

Straight from the Bible actually. It’s written there directly. “eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot…”

How about this phrase for its origin:?

“to cost an arm and a leg”

It means that it is VERY EXPENSIVE!

Wow Kylev, Reciprocity is one of my favourite words. It’s the state of being reciprocal, i.e. give and take, scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours. One person (or corporation, or nation, or whatever) gives some effort, endevour or expenditure and gets something equivalent in return. A fair exchange. Sort of like symbiosis – or prostitution.

Strictly speaking, “thong cam” is made up of two words.

:idea: Compound nouns require a hypenated (“thong-cam”), open (“thong cam”), or solid (“thongcam”) form.

doooh…..you’re right. that makes more sense. “anno domini”….year of our lord :grin:

Prostitution a fair exchange? ‘f only they’d-a told me that b’fore! Awwwww! All these years wasted—ehh…ehh… :lol:

“thong cam” is made up of two words.

exactly. and those two words form a new one.

Compound nouns require a hypenated (“thong-cam”), open (“thong cam”), or solid (“thongcam”) form.

exactly. it’s one word. a compound.

The vikings damn it, the vikings!! I thought aLx and I covered this already.

beauty Marinita, let me correct your pronunciation when you said the Spanish word “Lonja” which means a part of meat. Well, you pronounced it “Lonja” but the correct pronunciation is “Lon-ha”.
Ok. Lon-ha is the correct pronunciation in English and in Spaniol we pronounce it Lonja. muuuuuuuuaaak (kiss) for you my dear profesora, I know it’s difficult to pronounce words we’ve never heared or said before, I have a lot of problems with English as you can see :oops: . I think the correct is number two.

hello Marina, i would like to request the term “private Dick”. Where did this term come from?

oyster…..i think they measured years regionally and with reference to significant events such as 5 years after the big flood or 10 years before the big fire. i think they also measured years referencing a particular monarch or dynasty such as the 3rd year in the reign of pharo Ramsis for example.

Just my theory. Anyone got any other thoughts :?:

Who said ??? Oh nooo, it cannoot be possibleee :cry:
Who said that shhh… ???

So, as progress is to congress; is
prostitution to constitution? :idea:
thoughts, gentlemen?

Oh, and I did pick #1 at Youtube!

Sorry, I picked #2, but changed it to #1(if that’s allowed?)

What about that elixir? Jeff?

- excerpt from 200 Motels

we gotta stop – people are gonna talk as it is :mrgreen:

Marina, what is the origin of the term ort-night?

Marina, what is the origin of the term fort-night as it means 2 weeks?

Isn’t it just a corruption of ‘fourteen nights’ though?

Marina covered that word on one of the radio shows.
So it may not turn up here.

None of the above! ”Gird Your Loins” means to ”grab” and loins means ”inner thigh” so it is what baseball players do often before , during and after they spit. This is why they give signals to other team members. They have a bet to see who is the player most seen girding their loins on camera at the end of the year! :cool:

just breath normally…

Why do the say ???: “It cost to me an eye from the face”. meaning something very expensive ??? Why ?

Kumbaya! It never hurts to help

you make some very good points.
making me think about it more …

yes – i would definitely like to see Marina wearing a loin cloth …. and a smile :twisted:

thong cam? – is this code for “upskirting”?

Which hand is for … never mind

what abot thongcam.com ? Hmm..? :???:
all one word… :mrgreen:

I met a non com pimp, once :mrgreen:

Nice google job on Circus Hour Media. I should try using that next time. No wait.. :???: Marina would hang me if I did.

Don! (you know the answer to life is always “B”)

Marina in a Xena outfit? Nah
she’d look sweeter as
Xena’s little friend….what’s-her-name?

I’m saying it’s #2

Perhaps so oysterfrond. This is my reason for requesting the term. I only hear of publican televisin when they show the British sitcoms.

I’ve always wanted to know what the word “Thylacine” ment. I asked my parents and they didn’t have a clue! Which made me look like this :shock: :oops:

alas “www.thongcam.com” already exists.

Maybe “thongcam”-ing is a hobby in Phuket.

Oooooh. I got one, teacher! I got one! PRESCRIPTION. I always thought the word should be “PERscription” as in “Take this medication as per the doctors written instructions”. Why is it PREscription?

I’m still S.H.I.T.

A Chastity belt is what Sonny & Cher’s daughter wears around her waist to protect herself from a guy’s bono.

Thousand Island and Russian are very different, leonidas. My favorite dressings are Russian and French. Don’t care that much for Thousand Island.

It’s because it’s pre – scribed. It’s written for you in advance so you can be sure that your pharmacist follows your doctor’s instructions.

I don’t know. I was wondering if wobbly bits were some kind of salad seasoning like bacon bits.

I like to make SWAGs. You know, Stupid Wild Ass Guesses. :lol:

Origin # 1 : :wink:

“Thing. Thing a thong. Thing out loud. Thing out thtrong.” What happens when someone with a lisp does Karen Carpenter karaoke…

Gabrielle.

I’ve also heard GIRT your loins, and the source has something to do with GIRTH, as in wrapping something around it your girth.

The way I understood it, this was to wrap up your midsection in leather or strong fabric and fasten it nice and tight so your gut would be held in close to your center of gravity, your kidneys would be somewhat protected and your low back would be well-supported at the same time.

If I were going into battle, I’d most likely want to cover my privates, but I’m not so sure I’d tie my balls up in anything that constricted my movement. Imagine when you spring forward to take that really long step to strike what you hope is the finishing thrust and your cajones get squished against the side of your leg by your leather jockstrap. Owie! GAME OVER DUDE.

But the low back and gut definitely do better in the long run with the use of a strong backbrace for strenous tasks like kicking some serious ass.

It’s #1,

but it wasn’t the genitals they were wrapping up as much as it was the waist and the upper part of the hips and the low back.

I sense an impending profusion of confusion.

Someone sugested this site for help in understanding the proper usage of words. It’s kind-of like the old “Schoolhouse-Rock” from the ’70s but for adults. How would I use a variant of “affectation” to mean “affectatious”- which is not really a word. What is it called when you just add an ending to a word (ic, ous,able ) in order to make a new word ? Thank You, :???: UBJ

Two.

Write a sentence using “affectatious”.

Hell yeah, especially pink vinyl ones! I still have one from the Pleistocene!

Asin the bourgeois are mosly “affectatious”

Dear Miss HFW: I’ll go with answer #2, in GTW, to free up your legs. In Old Testatment Biblical times, men with a typical extra long t-shirt for normal attire, could run faster in battle with the inseam of the garment higher. This was before somebody invented pants for men. Number 1 sounded right until I thought about it, Roman soliders/yeah, “fasten genitals with a belt”/ouch! No way. Let’s see, something like a chastity belt for men to go into battle, no. Time out, let me put this belt between my legs to fasten my reproductive parts so I can move better, no. Whoever invented the jock strap for men to use in running races deserves mention. Number 3, sirlion, no way. As for Grand Theft Auto/molotov cocktail(convict playstation No#999) mentioned prior, sorry, I still play the Russian game tetris, gameboy Castlevania, and chess vs. computer. I’m living on the edge (the past for some). PS – MSN brower took time to load this, but didn’t have any issues with Log in /reply/ cookies/ ect.

All those knights were corrupt. Especially Sir Loin de Boef!

Why I oughta..!

Hi Marina,

I was wondering if you could find the origin for the word “ubiquitous”. If that word is not suitable or possible, maybe any of the following words:

menagerie, subterfuge, magniloquent, somniferous, or deleterious.

I don’t know if any of them will work, I just thought I would suggest a few. Thank you.

Also, I think the answer to the gird your loins question is #1. :smile:

There was no Reply prompt in your reply so you may not get this.
I think the variation you want is “affected”. As in, “the bourgeois are mostly affected”.

Oh funny! :mrgreen:

Bravo! WL. :mrgreen:

Sorry Snake we’re just having some fun with you. :mrgreen: Welcome to HFW.

Hello

–> For Marina

CAn you help me about word “Titanus” – ??

Is a latin world .
In english there are 2 words similar : Titans and Titanium.

English is a language with many latin words.

I dreams many times this word, I think that is many important.

The titanium is for eg. the metal + strong of the universe.

so the mean ot Titanus is at the base of the world ??

Can you help me ??

Ask me other details about this word.

Tanks,
Alex

A good friend of mine took a picture of me when I was piloting her yacht for opening boating season last weekend of the 3rd. I had a few great complements from it today I thought I might as well share it will all my HFW online friends. I feel kind of weird wearing my ice cream suit as some of my colleagues call it. I call it my Zoot suit or monkey suit. Oh well I think the industry needs to get rid of the blue jeans and t-shirt and wear something appropriate for the position. You would trust a brain surgeon wearing blue jeans and a t-shirt with Korn printed on it would you? :twisted:
Oh btw, its not a Navy or Coast Guard uniform. Its Merchant Marine uniform. Kind of like what you would see a cruise ship captain wearing.

WORD REQUEST – CAR, AUTOMOBILE

Hello there Marina!
I’ve come across your videos on YouTube recently and I have a word request for you.
Why do we call that thing that moves us from one place to another car? Does it come from char-iot??? And what about automobile?

By the way… I really, really, don’t like cars. I think they are a mess fo the environment, they could be a lot more technologically evolved, they are not that confortable, not safe, boriiiiing to drive but… hey, that’s the best we have so far and since we spend so much of our time and resources on those wretched things we might as well know the origin of the word.

All the best to you.

In the US we usually say “shoes” instead of boots. For example, when someone expires or retires from their career, it might be said that they “left some big shoes to fill.” Is that one of the contexts?

Old wives’ tale has it that foot size is inDICKative of a man’s package size. So if you’re wearing boots that are much bigger than your feet, it may result in some disappointments to the ladies a bit further along, if’n ya catch my drift. For truth in advertising, one must fill one’s boots.

Similarly (or should I say “likewise” to remain in character), in order to ‘measure up’ to someone else, you have to fill their shoes (i.e., have the same size feet or bigger) so at least the old wives who believe this will think your manhood is just as good or better.

But this isn’t true anyway. The very idea is riDICKulous if you ask me, but of course no one did.

Happy trails.

This is a trick question? I am on to you, Marina =) I’m going to say, “none-of-the-above”. I am going to say that is Irish accent for, “Guard your Lines”… like when the British would invade Ireland back in mediaval times and the Irish Armies would send out small surveillance squads along a battle line at night, to keep an eye on the perimeter against night time attacks, and “Guard the [your] Lines”. Over time, the sound of the phrase prevailed over the meaning, and thus, “Gird Your Loins”?? =) lol No??

Most cultures had their own calendars, or measure years by who was king or what number in the royal line they were, like dynasties. In some cultures, kings who let their ego get away with them would attempt to eradicate any references to prior rulers so their name could be remembered as first in history. This occurred in Egypt, China and probably some other places as well.

Wow! :shock: I just ran Safari browser on my Mac and notice a bunch of google ads. Now I know what you all are talking about. I went back to my normal browser (FireFox) and then looked for what I was using to block all these ads. I use a FireFox plug in called “Adblock Plus” It does a reasonably job at blocking ads. The ad I only get is Interactive hosting ad. Which tell me these guys know what Im using and found a way to by pass it. Hhehe I might have to subscribe to their service just for that little trick! :mrgreen:

I think there’s something amiss with the clues as well. But I don’t think she did it on purpose. It’s just not the whole story. See my theory below.

WORD REQUEST – DOOM

That’s it…

Bye

WORD REQUEST – DOOM

That’s it…

Bye

I will go with #2. I remember this coming up in one of the comparative religion class in college.

Flank. As in, “I flanked you and came up from the rear.” fuh lank. Lank? Full Angle?? FL. AN(G)K??? Flank.

No, Proz, I was referring to the Jelly and Jam below the two blancmanges. :twisted:

hi again :smile:

i’d really like to find out where the word nuts came from for it to mean crazy.

its quite funny when you think about it :lol:

See ya and reply soon :!: ! :!:

From ToungTwister :mrgreen:

I’m inclined to agree with you, paulojlourenco – cars are a clever invention but the way they’ve dominated our lives sets us down the path of destruction…

But here’s this: as a Brit I’ve always thought it really daft that Americans call it ‘gas’ when it’s a liquid! How come you stateside guys use the word ‘gasoline’ but we call it ‘petrol’?

heya.
i have to say i really like you allot….wait i mean umm :oops:
i really like you’re videos allot.

from ToungeTwister
:oops:

Now we know what Prospero does in his spare time. :smile:

“Never judge anyone until you have travelled a mile in their shoes.”
That way, when they get pissed off at you, you’re a mile away and you have their shoes. :grin:

I’m gonna go with #2.

I know what it is – but what is the origin of the word?

Hi Dave,

Its Jack, not Eric.. No harm done no foul. :mrgreen: Well Im not presently active right now. Just too busy to do it all. I have to live up to my name Jack of all Trades and I really can’t keep up. I think I might have to resort to cloning myself. So Dave I assume you are an SCA member?

No, I can’t say Scientific. I didn’t set up any controls for the conditions of the experiment to prove my theory of my wild ass guess. I do like your idea of calling it SWAG! Very funny!

I think you miss spelled SWAG and meant to spell SHAG, Stupid Hot Ass Guesses. :shock: Wow did I type that out loud??? :oops:

I just put 2 feet of armor plating on mine in a near 90 degree erect position and go chase after them yelling HEY BOYS!!! and throwing my hips side to side. No one wants to fight so my armor always stays very shiny after battle. It saves me from having to buy many cans of “Never Dull”. :shock:

I don’t have time to reply to this; I must take my morning constitutional.

I think its #1 but then it would have to be translated recently (about 200 years ago???-guess) to english. coz they wouldnt use say that back then/where they are…

hym # 2? :smile:

The answer to that must be preceded by a paradiddle.

Thanks for your comment! :)

Well, I’m not a stateside guy (not that’s anything wrong with that, I would love to properly know the US), I’m a Mozambique-born Portuguese, living in Lisboa, actually.

Here we also use ‘gasoline’ (gasolina) but here that word means only that specific product: highly refined petroleum with huge octane levels. So gasoline is a liquid, of course, but in fact the molecular connections between the atoms are so few and so loose that it transforms itself into gas very quickly. Come to think of it, it really is an instable liquid.

For diesel we use ‘gasóleo’ and to make things more messy we also have ‘petróleo’ (very close to petrol, that originated in petroleum, that originated in latin petra + oleum, i. e., oil of rock. I think that has something to do with the geological origin of petrol). And all of this are different petroleum-based products on sale.

Jesus! How simple things are not simple after all and everything is a lot more interesting than it looks at first glance!

Doom is what you think about when in a negative MOOD.

Dear fellow student,
What did happen? I wanted to write 2 and a 3 appeared, there is a poltergeist in my house ! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAa!
…

Marina would have a problem trying to gird her loins with those filibegs that she wears so fetchingly.

are you sure? check what wikipedia says about DOOM (not video game)…

hi Marina, I think you should intriduce new jokes in your videos..Lately all are very similar :(

Word requests – Manicure and Pedicure (-;

doom is mood backwards

For #2 Marina seems to say “lawn-drobe”.

Or am I just overcome by here radiance and it’s affecting my hearing?

valladolid my friend …
¿y tu de dónde eres?

( muchachada nui …
los miércoles en la 2 )
y al día siguiente en el youtube …

also …
if you want Marina performing Marylin …
write a comment …

WTF …
jajaja

First off I’d like to say “This is a very different and smart show for the iPod and period.” I have two requests

1) Jumping the Gun

2) Coming from left field

I think it’s the first one. However that’s just a guess.

Monroe, Manson or AP ? :cool:

I agree with paulo
lots afo words are formed by the meaning of thier use. I am happy for transportstion. It beats wallowing in the frozen mud with animal skin loin cloths hoping someone would find a better way and a cure for this sicky thing everybody’s got. Everything has a gain and cost. these days it’s vogue to anti-up disestablishmentarianism. Lets see how long it takes Al Gore to gird his loins and come out of hiding. Oh oh
touchy. I do wish people would slow down a bit and be more thoughtful. being thoughtful is what I’m doing here. I like the answer number 1. My mom used to use the expression “gird your loins” from time to time. I guess I never really gave it much thought. (Wildwood flower). I just had to go and do what I really didn’t want to. I wouldn’t prefer to “go commando”.
Thanks again Marina. Another +5 performance. Mwwwwa

Also in the laws of physics I’ve heard that air is really a liquid and gas smells really bad. Hehehe

Answer #1 sounds right to me. In fact, I believe it’s a Biblical phrase making reference to preparing oneself for battle (with the Devil) much as members of the Roman Legions would when facing foreign armies.

There are three things that smell like fish!

one of them is fish!

the other two… are growing on you..!

Hey! I am a member of S.O.U.P. – my evil twin – prospero[silent8]11 was mentioned in a video, but I’ve never been petted by Marina…err I mean…I was never made teacher’s pet!

But not Sir loince a lot.

gio
you say muuuuuuuuaaak
I say mwwwa
let’s call the whole thing off.

your doing great in english. I also admire how polite you are!
words represent meanings. When someone corrects me on my pronouncement I know they mean well. I am try ing to learn some Spanish these days and understand.

An infusion of delusion is my conclusion.

I’m trying to think..but nothing happens. Curly

Thanks for that. I’ve been wondering about that one for a little while now.

i think #1 sounds right too me :lol: PS: your still hot

Answer 1

I think its #2. Not all phrases can be too interesting.

By the way Marina, you seem to be selling out. Your starting to be an advertising billboard. First the video game and now a website. I mean its ok, you gotta get payed somehow. lol. If I am wrong. Im sorry.

I also wanted to know how a cetain phrase came to be. Why do we say “Bees Knees” when we refer to something as being important. Are Bees Knees really important?

My guess #2

Interesting thought,,, I think you may be onto something.
I know that the number 40 when mentioned in ancient times in the mid-eastern part of the globe merely means many and not in actuality 40. For example ‘Ali Baba and his band of 40 thieves’, ‘Raining for 40 days and 40 nights’ or ‘Moses left Egypt when he was 40 yrs of age and returned 40 yrs later then lead his people through the desert for 40 yrs till he died.’
40 = many

I choose not to reciprocate :arrow:

monroe of course :wink:
but if you prefer marylin manson :shock:
aaaargh :shock:
aaaargh :shock:
what the hell are you thinking …

You knucklehead :!:

Marina,

There’s been a lot of discussion lately about your evil twin. There seems to be even some contemplation of “naming” her. To me, it’s inconceivable that she doesn’t have a name yet, since she’s your twin and therefore would be in her 20s. So, it’s more a question of discovering her name, rather than giving her one.

I think I’ve puzzled this out, though. :idea: It’s my contention that the evil twin of the good Marina is none other than……….[cue dramatic sound effect - dun dun DUN!!]….. Bizarro-Marina! :!: Q.E.D.

Now, you may want to investigate the etymology of the word “Bizarro” and do a video about it. You could then reveal your evil twin to the world at that time.

Since this word is a cult-favorite in popular culture, many here will know all about it, but let’s see if Marina wants to address it first….if her twin really is Bizarro-Marina…..

:grin:

You need a Legion to have Doom.

I was wondering if anyone else has ever thought about the word universe. If the universe is all encompassing, what or better yet where would the multi-verses be :?: That is to think that there is unlimited space out there.
We have always lived with some kind of boundary: the womb, our crib, the 4 walls, our neighborhood, city, state, country, world, solar system, galaxy, universal quadrant and mental capacity.

my head hurts again Doctor :!:

I thought her evil twin was Aniram. By the way, why do you think that twin was evil? She didnt seem evil. She didnt want to take over the World Wide Web. If anything her twin was hungry. must have been all that soldier training.

‘Knock – Knock’

Didn’t even get that ad showing. I’m with you, I’ve been using Firefox with Adblock with Filterset.G Updater – I get used to not seeing the ads and had to load the page in Internet Explorer to see what people are talking about.

My take – a few ads on a page is more than acceptable, as something has to pay the bills. When you get more ads than content – well that’s why Adblock was made in the first place.

It’s gotta be #2. There’s been enough answers with pigs involved so it can’t be #3.

I think if you listen to Marina’s twin, you will find, Q.E.D., that she is Bizarro-Marina. At least, that’s my contention.

Lid my groins?

I’m gonna say theory #1 is the correct answer. Also, what day will your DVD’S release, can’t wait!!!

I laughed so much when you said ‘Owie game over dude’
Do you have a PS3 or an Xbox 360 per chance ?
Just trying to imagine the graphic imagery here on a computer game.

Get paid titanpa? I WISH! I only mentioned GTA IV because a: I was playing it and b: I figured it would be timely and people would like it.. as for mentioning Gawker.com? They are one of the biggest websites on the Internet and they wrote an article about me.. so I thought that I would take a word suggestion from the writer of that article and maybe he would write about me again.

It’s all about increasing my audience. Now if I could get paid by these companies, I would be so happy! But trust me… didn’t make dime one from mentioning them.

You’ll notice that I try to make my videos relevant to what is going on at the time… I did a video on the word hooker when the Elliot Spitzer controversy was happening and that video has currently over 2.3 million views :-)

I think Oysterfrong has a point but I think that it is a modern tooweaking of the 40 day theory stated by baddoggie. With a life expectancy of 25 in those days it is highly unlikely that Moses lived to 120..

Did you know that 7 days of fighting makes one weak ?
14 days of fighting makes one too weak to continue !

air-z worked on one all day yesterday. I hope in the next couple weeks.. they’re going to be fun… I’m going to include all my website members in the credits, so that will be fun too :-)

its Number 2 …..as its just bellow your ribs and pelvis………

to do with the body so going with number TWO…..

DID YOU KNOW…….’ fruit of one’s loins ‘ means Chilldren .

oxoxooxooxooxoxooxoxox :cool:

Word Request -> “friend”

that’s it

cool vids

now i can provide some words on my class^_^

thank you

Marina

Prospero811, I think your right on target.As I listened the other day and noticed the timing I came to the same conclusion.Now if Marina will show us her twin we may be proven wrong.She could however pull the old Bewitched scenes where we’d see Sabrina and her brunette sister at the same time. I think Jeannie did this as well with her cousin? :smile:

My guess is Number 1 ! Ouch!!!

Question. How can your students help you make $$? click ads?…
I want DVD’s so there’s one source, but hope it costs you less to make & distribute them than what you get in return.
I do appreciate all the care & attention you put into the Vids & site & thanks for sharing a meal with us too Leftenant, mmmm.

ja ja ja ja You make me laugh. And this Englishmen is impressed with your English. And your politeness like dvdpage says,

I say mwwwa also
Just for a matter of interest what noise do the following animals make in Spain ?
COCKEREL England= cock a doodle doo ………Russian …Cookery Coo
DOG …….England woof …..Russian Guff
PIG ……. England Oink Russian Crreo crreo
DUCK England Quack quack Russian kwar kwar

Thus far, scotthorn, Marina is remaining silent on the issue. But, I do like where your mind is going…. a dark-haired Bizarro-Marina….nice… :grin:

We’ll have to listen carefully and see if her twin does some opposite things…like saying hello for goodbye and vice versa.

Is that like “fruit of the loom?”

Knowing the answer to that one could be expensive

I will go with answer #1 as painful as it may sound.

“14 days of fighting makes one too weak to continue” so you need to retire to the fort to fortify yourself; is that what you’re saying? :smile:

Immortalised by the Bible, but interesting question

Hey Gio you needed a lower lower case to say Ssssh

Hey Gio you needed a lower lower case to say Ssssh
Nice to see you stopped shouting buddy LOL

I was thinking of the AP link, of course.

Dear Teacher
I’ll go with the PIG ANSWER!
Mostly because it also makes sense with “Fruit of the Loins”
(PIG SOUND)
Ochen Ochen!

And THANKS for sharing the musician behind your theme song,
Ronald Jenkees!
I really dig his music and what a nice guy!
He’s your brother, right? \
Looks just like you and your twin!
How cool is that!
Although with you being from Moscow, I’d have thought he’d be from Georgia- not Kentucky!

Aye what a good question that faces us
Eye have no eye dear Mr exCaps
I thought the saying was an arm and a leg.

Hey wasn’t the currency weird in those days ? LOL

Does this pun meat the usual standard ?

Hey BillyB… maybe the DVD sales will help.. you don’t have to click on ads… as that would be disingenuous… Just keep hanging out at my website, all the traffic to my website and those little banner ads help pay for the server.. so that’s cool. You could even say that John McCain paid for a good chunk of my server this month with all those ads that kept appearing, right?

Worked for me as well thanks

EEEh and my teacher at school spanked me when I was naughty.

If she hung me I definately wouldn’t do it again.
I want to see Marina in her graduation garments sexy…..

Option number one is the answer. It was definately a roman military phrase and even used by St. Peter in one if his epistles admonishing people to be prepared for spiritual battle.

Oh I better do homework every now & then especially if I think its easy.
#1 sounds plausible (if not painfull) but I can’t imagine fighting or doing anything quickly in that condition. #3 although a good Idea to protect your animals is unlikely. #2 is recorded Biblicaly & in the old testement means as simple as tucking your robe into your belt, to putting on your Battle gear for Important impotentcy protection.
In the new testemnt it takes on a more spiritual meaning as its used as a metaphor for protecting ones mind.
Interesting though in proverbs 31:17 it refers to a woman girding her loins with strength & making her arms strong. Hows the workouts going Marina. “Great Guns”
When I used wieghtlift, I had a belt for doing “squats” that when wrapped tightly around my waist helped keep my guts together on the heavier wieghts. Assignment complete, awaiting grade. Cheers

Wandering is one of the benefits of wireless internet LOL
Only messin snake no offence , we all misspelll thingz uccajunally

LMAO at Bobs clever comments.
Didn’t they just get in the car to collect them in ancient times ?

By the way when did “guns” start reffering to muscular arms?

Im sorry Marina. I didnt mean to suggest that you needed the money or that you got paid. I know your just doing what you love to do. I just thought it was odd. thats all. Please accept my apology. Its cool that use current events to teach us words. Do think you could teach the Phrase “Bow out Gracefully” to one of the Democrat presidential candidates?

So we are living in the year 0 BGTA4 eh ?

It’s answer #1. Billyb has it exactly right.

There once was a sly man called Reg
Who had extramarital affairs in a hedge
Along came his wife
With a big carving knife
And cut off his meat and two veg

Frankly, even if she was paid for mentioning a video game or something, I can’t for the life of me see why that would be a bad thing. Is it bad when a sports figure endorses a product? Heck, if it’s “selling out” to get paid for endorsing or mentioning something, where do I sign up!?

Selling out….I love the old quote from Jason Newstead of Metallica from back in the day when they were accused of “selling out”: “Yes, We Sell Out — Every Seat In The House.”

How does prospero811 pull the ladies ?
Does he lassoo them ?

Agreed .
Marina has to make a living, and somehow I can’t see so many people wanting to do homework for a bag of bones

I can’t say who’s there
I know it is titanpa

I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THE ORIGIN OF THE WORD

“ORIENTATION”

its defintely not answer 3. other phrases like loincloth used to mean ragged clothing covering the waist and hips, so i think its number 2. the phrase: “pull oneself up by your bootstrap” seems similar.

Absolutely Bob
I wish you good fort yoon buddy

Only today ?

2hfwfc asked, “Didn’t they just get in the car …”

Well maybe, but “Fill your boots” in English carspeak would translate as “Fill out your trunks” in American which would be a comment on the size of your appendage in English, so it all gets confusingly recursive. :grin:

Do you believe in global warming ?
Or is the Western world using this as a ploy to stop progression of the Eastern one to catch up with the west ?

Why can’t cars run on water ? Separate and burn the hydrogen in water fuelled by the oxygen to make it burn. Waste gaseous product water. hmmmmmmm

I would like know where the term ” Bag of chips” came from.

For example: ” That girl next door is all that & a bag of chips”

Why a bag of chips?

THE’RE TOO many WITCHes THERE and only TWO men. WHICH will surely lead TO THEIR doom.

Finially I’ve came up with a short story that makes sense… well I think it does… Is THERE any reasons why those words sound the same?

Here’s an interesting one… on a website forum just now I found myself using the phrase ‘at the drop of a hat’ – what’s the derivation of that?

Well, the western wold is not using global warming to stop the progression of eastern ones, sine eastern ones are not restricting or obligated to restrict their pollution production – see, e.g. China, which is a far bigger polluter than the U.S., even though China’s economy is 1/7 the size.

You can’t run cars on water, but you can run them on hydrogen. There are some problem, though. You need to get the hydrogen, which doesn’t lie around in pools, it’s combined with other elements, such as oxygen in water. That means you have to use energy to get the hydrogen separated from the oxygen or other element. There’s something called an “electrolizer” that can do this, but to run a vehicle that way would cost far more than gasoline costs now, unless an abundantly cheap source of electricity can be found.

There’s also the fuel cell, but this requires a hydrogen tank, and then it combines the hydrogen with oxygen to produce an electric current with water as a byproduct. The problem is, you have to have the hydrogen first in that instance, which means either getting it out of water using electric current (and then you have to get the electricity from somewhere and all that costs money and creates inefficiency), or some other substance like coal, oil or natural gas, which are the very fuels we’re seeking to replace.

Mother – or mom, mum, mama – must be one of the most ancient words in human vocabulary. Is there any modern language that has a word for ‘mother’ that’s properly different?

Lend me your shoes, Proz, and I’ll give you an answer in about a mile. :grin:

Man, it always turns up sooner or later.

i wanna know the origin of the word pussy.
why poeple use pussy as in little cats. or as in vagina?

thanks marina!
love you.

I was thinking …
What if Trey and Matt did a rip for South Park?
They’re halfway thru the season, on hiatus.
They are STILL cutting-edge-techno-wizard-cartoon=warriors,
Who knows? The exposure would be relevant – you could do a poll.

Who wants to see an episode of South Park “ripping” on HFW?
(suggest a scenario with your vote)

bus stop: Stan, Kyle and Kenny seen as per usual – Enter Cartman
Cartman: YOU GUYS! YOU GUYS! [spins madly about]
[ close up Kenny gives the fish eye] IT’S INCREDIBLE… IT’S…
[background:Cartman still spinning, spewing unintelligible verbage]
Stan: What’s with fat boy, now? [Cartman,background: HOT!! Gwaa!
Kyle: I dunno, dude. Should we run?[Cartman,background: WORDS!
…just an idea

Well in my language its “anya” so yes, there are different ones…

I’m pretty sure it’s #2… Did anyone else notice the “spanish” rose in the hair for “omaar.” That’s funny. It’s the nuances in life that make it worth living. :idea: <—cyclops who stubbed his toe

Would like to request origins of words curmudgeon and ragamuffin.
Hope they are spelled correctly. Thanks.

subway, you get all that and a bag of chips.

Hello my dear teacher..
What about the origin of the word vicarious… you don’t have many words with V, in reality you have just one….
Can I be your pet? I am very well trained, obedient, bla, bla …..
Love you
your dear student…

It’s related to “…wouldn’t kick her out of bed for eating crackers….”

Did you have to bring mothers into it….

Hey! Get off of the subject of mothers…I just got off of yours! :razz: :lol:

ow :shock:

Maestra, Is it just my imagination or do your Eyes change color. Calico Eyes? Anyone see this? Watch carefully.

Thank’s Marina

Hmmm…. Superman Bizarro World rules?
so, if you trick Marina’s twin into saying
her name bacwards (Aniram), then she
gets pulled out of our universe? No..
that was from another villian..
My head hurts…no more bizarro no no

I honestly don’t believe there’s a plot from all the scientific community, politicians, ecologists and journalists using a ficticious global warming. Too many people involved around the world for the plot to work. :p Those people (and I am one of them) really believe in the global warming reality. The data about it is real. The thing is data can mean other thing that we do not know… and that’s scary too… Boeuf! :p (*** sigh! ***)

In my view the problem of a car running on water is that… well,water is a very scarce resource and by the look of it will be even more precious than oil in no time.

What about electric cells? Why don’t someone pays a bunch of scientists of several areas to create an efficient battery system? I don’t know much about that subject but if there’s was a coordinated effort from people around the world who know the matter, enough investment and proper motivation, wouldn’t that be possible?

Nice video! I enjoyed that! :shock:

Welcome to the club Prospero811, sorry but your twin is not allowed :mrgreen:

People are working furiously to come up with good batteries for electric cars. There are two main problems that I see – the first is “charge time.” If you have a battery that can take you 200 miles, then will you wait overnight to fill up to continue on your way? There is work being done on capacitors that can shorten this time, but it’s not easy.

The second is – where do you get the electricity? You’d have to have enough not only to power everyone’s houses and industry and everything that is powered by electricity, but every vehicle in America. Can you think of a feasible way to generate the sheer amount of electricity needed?

I can only think of one that makes any economic sense – nuclear power plants.

No, yo soy de America Latina, Peru. But what I really want is a Spaniol Performing and to be her pet :razz:

You old man have videogames ??? Increible Doc !

Meastra, Thanks, I thought I was just fix sated, or just vexed . You are some what hypnotic. :shock:

D’oh! Thanks for the pardon. Keeping track of these long lists of posts is difficult sometimes, or so it would seem.
No, Jack, I was never a member of the SCA. Just knew a few.
When you were a member, did you ever build a trebuchet or anything?
2hot4wordsfanclub: classic joke. thanks!

Prospero811, Yes that would be an interesting twist.I also meant to write Samantha not Sabrina.The original and not the teenage. :grin:

I’m definitely no Bizarro expert, but I would think a Bizarro Marina would be much edgier, literally. Also, I seem to recall that Bizarro folks have much worse diction than their counterparts. Is that true of her sister?

No you don’t I have a Pentium and it works fine LOL

Answer #1, as painful as that sounds, it makes the most sense :wink:

Thanks prospero811 , I downloaded full plans for such a car months ago but it appears the the electrolytic chamber to perform the separation would be bigger than the car it powers thus defeating the object.

With regards to the other point I have seen propaganda from the Russian and American sides on every political angle, from conspiracy theories of a fake moon landing to destroy communism and the cold war, even an own goal on 11/9 as an excuse to invade Afgahanistan to destroy opium reserves, and of course the threat of WMD in Iraq to commandeer the supply of oil resources.
I no longer have an opinion on any of these subjects as i am so confused. As I am with global warming. There appear to be just as many scientist that can disprove it as prove it, but historically media hysteria sells newpapers.
The question is what are you supposed to believe and would you trust a politician who’s spin controls the media opinion for personal gain.
One thing is definate though,
We are mushrooms, kept in the dark and fed bullshit and that no one can hand on heart say that one particular opinion is correct until we convinced that we are fed the correct information on which to base that opinion.

Maybe Marina should cover the phrase ‘can of worms’

turtlewax -

yes, there is still some investigation to be done here in terms of a final determination of the Bizarro nature of Marina’s twin. As far as the edgy appearance of Bizarros, I think you will find on further investigation that while edginess would be a dead give-away, it is not necessarily required for one to be Bizarro. Examples have been found of Bizarros that appeared, for all intents and purposes, as normal humans but were otherwise Bizarro.

The investigation of Marina’s twin’s diction is, of course, very important. If we find Bizarro-style diction then by any estimation, we would be justified in concluding that Marina’s twin is, in fact, a Bizarro-Marina.

I thank you for joining me on this search. I am convinced that we will uncover proof of Bizarro-Marina (aka Aniram). Perhaps we need to reexamine some of the older videos in which Marina’s twin can be heard and determine if anything can be gleaned that points to a Bizarro-twin.

Good luck and godspeed.

:-)

I think that the first explanation is it. I vote for #1.

Marina,

What is the origin of the word “hornswoggle”?

No Mr ex-shouter I am too old to understand the technology and can’t find the on switch……We like to steal cars for real and kill people on the street just because they are there . Especially young people that write us off for being incapable ……It’s much more fun …..no offence buddy just messing

Of course I play games buddy I live on them but I do however worry when people start mixing video fantasy with reality. We had a bit of a problem in the70s when LSD freaks dismissed an oncoming train etc as a hallucination and were killed.

I am sure that Paolo was right about the origin of the compound name, but it was used nearly 100 years before the internal combustion engine
as the trade mark of the original human lice treatment.
I can just picture a man with a fat cigar dousing his head in petrol to remove these little critters. The stress of that is definately going to want to make him light up.

Hmmm , 2hotforwordsfanclub – who are you?

I think Marina should wear one of these: http://content.answers.com/main/content/wp/en/2/2f/Raquel_welch_1millionyearsbc.jpg

There’s a ship arriving too late to save a Drowning Witch – she was swimming along, trying to keep a date with a merchant marine who told her he was really rich; but it doesn’t matter no more, she’s on the ocean floor, and the water’s all green down there. And it’s not very clean down there.

Not even a Witch ought to be caught on the bottom of America’s spew-infested waterways… she could get radiation all over her… she could mutate insanely… she could grow up to be 50ft tall and scary-looking…

And then, cars could crash all over the place as a result of people with Hawaiian shirts on, looking up to see her face… sardines in her eyebrows, lobsters up and down her forehead… all of them horribly large and dangerous!

Maybe a submarine could save her, and bring her back to the navy: for some kind of ritual sacrifice! :shock:

oysterfrond – there were a lot of different reckonings back in the day…. the Romans used to calculate the years from the mythical founding of Rome by Romulus and Remus, for example.

Marina, If I may offer my 2 cents worth – from what I see you have approximately + or – 40,000 viewers per day. If you were to start a pay site teaching the Russian language, even without giving college credits to those of who would like to learn Russian but don’t have time, say one lesson per week at 5 dollars a month, 60 USD per year per viewer, and even if only 10 per cent of your viewers subscribe, i.e., 4,000 viewers, that would come to 240,000 USD per year, not bad for working one day a week. Naturally if you charge more or have more subscribers then your profits would increase proportionately. Of course that’s all pre-operating expenses, pre-taxes, but still not a bad chunk of change for doing something you do so well that seems to come so naturally to you. Just a thought… But if you should decide to do it, sign me up first, please!

Hi Marina
I was wondering about the pirate expression “Piece’s of eight” came from
Thanks from canada :)

The name “Fruit of the Loom” is interpreted by many as a play on words with respect to a part of the Hail Mary prayer: “…blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.” (cf. Gospel of Luke 1:42) The two phrases are unrelated: it is merely a coincidence that “womb” rhymes with “loom”.

The familiar Fruit Of the Loom Guys consist of an apple, green grapes, purple grapes, and leaves that tend to change color often. They perform several songs and appear in all Fruit of the Loom commercials.
AND My friend Fruit of the Loom is an American company which manufactures clothing, particularly underwear. The company’s world headquarters are based in Bowling Green, Kentucky !!!!!

Yeah, he may be a S.O.U.P. Nazi! :razz:

Just clarifying for our friend martinboy, aLx. :smile:

Then that means SHOWERS predate underwear AND pink vinyl shower curtains! :eek:

Wow did I type that out loud??? :oops:

That’s a goodun, Cap’n!

“Cookery Coo” sounds like a great title for a TV show teaching kids how to cook. That is, how to cook in the Cookery Coo—wait, what’s a Cookery Coo? Uh, nevermind. :oops: ( :razz: )

Number 2.

Dear Teacher,
Since moving to California, I’ve been wondering where the word “dude” comes from. It’s a slang word for “a guy”, and is often used to address a person (usually, a male), as in “Hey Dude, have you ever watched Hotforwords? It’s totally awesome!”

Thanks for all of your wonderful lessons.

Your trusty student,

-ejhollan

Water is a very scarce resource? :shock:

2hotforwordsfanclub, BION, that’s the first time I’ve seen 9/11 written the British way (11/9).

Video ads piss me off! :evil:

Funny, 2hotforwordsfanclub! :lol:

Dammit, 2hotforwordsfanclub, you crack me up! :lol: :lol: :lol:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyO2k96MOf0&feature=related

clarifying what?

hasn’t the word ‘awesome’ been scratched from the dictionary? cause honestly, i find the word awesome, quite awesome! :lol:

In Georgian it’s “დედა” (deda). And just as odd is the Georgian word for father: “მამა” (mama)!

Wow, I admire your straightforwardness, bangsok! Kudos! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

would that be hungarian?

Hello my dear hotforwords teacher,

How has the word “snatch” become associated with the female pudendum? Explain if you can.

Your trusty hotforyou student, Mooowaahh!!

Owwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwschwitz!

say what?

blowing horns?

hey marina ive gat a word…or a letter for you
:arrow: why does the letter W sound doubleyou (u sound)
instead of double v because W looks like 2 v’s :?: :!: :?: :!:

:smile: :smile: :smile:

Tell me what you guys think about this ad that appears the first time you visit the site.. is it too hard core! Ouch! I just watched it!

This company is testing this video delivery thing that will supposedly make me a little money… but let me know your thoughts.

Thanks,

Where does the phrase “Letter of the Law” come from?

Hey. I have an Idea for you show, but I know the answer .

It is : the origin of the word “hooker”
Now, it is said that during the civil war, many women came to “please” the men in the army . Well, one day, 2 soldiers at a camp, saw a overbearing woman pass them. One said to watch him “get her” , or something of the sort. At the time, the Union General’s last name was “Hooker”. It turns out, this woman was the general’s FAVORITE woman, so the other warned ” No man, that’s HOOKER’S” Meaning the general would kill him if he messed with “his girl”

If you decide to use this, please email me, and please credit “Loserdawg911″ . thanks! :wink: :cool:

where does “desire” come from?

loserdawg911, I already did that video! Check my list http://www.hotforwords.com/words

:arrow: How to make a compound noun, duh! Just in case… :razz: ( :wink: )

where do we get “narcissistic” from???

Sorry, it was a politically incorrect joke… :sad:

Ow! is the first syllable of Owschwitz (i.e., Auschwitz). Go figure… :roll:

Igen.

It comes from not being named teachers pet! :cry: ( :razz: )

I thought that but I think he is referring to fresh water and thinking further will be a very valuable resource as time goes on because of it’s importance. It’s present value is stunted by it’s abundance . If it becomes scarce we’ll be long gone. The respective buckets we kicked will be rusted away to be recycled back into the ecological chain. The daisies we prop up will be overgrown so that our graves will be unseen.
I studied the weather for my pilot’s licence and understand that If we desalinate enough seawater the North Atlantic currents to Pacific could slow causing an Ice Age ? Will it get that far ? Are we earth’s most intelligent species ? Will we ever stop trying to dominate each other so that we can share the planet for cohabibitation ?

Sorry wordlover the media here do say 9/11 it is just me being difficult as our calendar is written that way and was correct in guessing that you would be first to notice it as British.
Pardon my ignorance but please explain BION oh brief consice and learned one

every six-year-old knows how to make compound nouns.

Is that similar to the asphyxiation we encounter by running out of breath after adding these suffixes ?

you don’t have to explain every stupid thing.
most of the time, people are not half as stupid as you think they are.

by the way, the first syllable of “auschwitz” is “ausch”.

pwn.

I’m voting for number two…those robes can get in the way when tryin’ to run…’er, fight… :lol:

Uggghhhh! Nevermind! Sheesh… :roll:

PS—aLx, don’t confuse compound nouns with compound words. There is a difference; I’ll let you figure it out… :mrgreen:

And I thought that Cookery Coup was a work to rule in Gordon Ramsey’s Devil’s Kitchen. Perhaps it is just learning to make pigeon pie.

Russian cockerels give their morning call in Russian ‘Cookery Coo’ is the chant that Russians see the noise as, not ‘cock a doodle do’
Just wondering what noise animals make in Spain

Hey HotforWords,

Could you maybe discuss the etymology of “laconic”? All I know is it started with the Ancient Spartans…

Thank You,

David E. Gray

LOL

Yes, but there’s no “owsch” in English; hence the comment
:Ow! is the first syllable of Owschwitz¹

¹A non-existant word that sounds like Auschwitz.

pwn.

PS—re: people are not half as stupid as you think they are.
How stupid do I think people are, aLx? Please tell me! Since you seem to know what I think. Let’s hear it… :razz: :razz: :razz:

I think that wordlover had a bad attack of déjà vu there.

“quiquiriquí” I believe, for the rooster/cockerel.

can you maybe discuss the origin of the name mafia

Yes of course…… we had the pound they had the lira, and now they have the Euro this proves my theory that an eye is worth more than an arm and a leg together.

No, no, no it’s spelled affixation! :wink: :razz: :mrgreen:

is “never mind” a compound? does it require the open form? or is it a VP?

are you neverminding “never mind”?

BION = Believe It Or Not

Hic schwat shdid you hic shay about interrigunsh hic

It could be a VP, but most people use it as an expletive/interjection. I think it’s more to-the-point to spell it as one word. “Whodunnit” is another example.

PPS—By “ow” I mean “ouch”, “ach”, etc. :mrgreen:

there’s no “owsch” in English

there is an “owsch” now.

A non-existant word

since you used it, it does exist.
if it didn’t exist — how do you know its syllables?

first syllable of Owschwitz (i.e., Auschwitz)

rofl. self-pwnd.

LOL. I love the “hic” being the hiccup of a drunkard, but was surprised to read (I don’t remember where) that it was more common a word in England! I’ve always used it here, even as a child! Same goes for the word, too! :razz: Just kidding. Seriously though, I didn’t think of onomatopoetic words in English as being specific to either British or American English… :roll:

BTW, “to cost an arm and a leg” is said in Spanish as “costar un ojo de la cara” (lit., to cost an eye from the face). Got it? All in favour say “eye”…

Thanks for that well said wordlover but why is player not asking you the same question ?.
I thought that The restivus was an antisocial Roman Emperor in 345bc.

Look at my youtube channel ID player, It’s quite a long one. Better and cheaper than sleeping pills anyday !. Betrothed to a Russian Prof of Philology once I am now just one of Marina’s humble love sick perverted students, who happens to like etymology and history and likes to put my heart into extreme shock every now and again by seeing her in yet another stunning outfit looking like a princess.

No word in any language adequately describes Marina in the eyes of 40,000 + people she’s just toohotforwords

You can say that again! :mrgreen:

Uh oh!… :shock:

Calls your junk eh ?
They are my favourite possessions. (Did I really say that ?)

‘Cocorico’ en francais.

Maybe because he only though Marina looked beautiful YESTERDAY… :mrgreen: :razz: :wink: :wink: :razz: :mrgreen: :shock:

Hey didn’t I see you at the coliseum the other day? I recognize you from your photo.

In other words, aLx…

aLx? — aLx!!!!

Get up off the floor, I’m tryin’ to tell you something!

Sheesh!

OK, where were we? Oh, yes, “owsch” is what we’d call a nonce-word. And since the nonce has passed I no longer consider “owsch” a legitimate word. If you disagree, too bad. However, you have my permission to use it when- and however you see fit.

PS—”pwned” is SOOOOO 5th grade! :razz:

yes, but i’ve been sick…i am but a caricature of my real self… :roll:

Nope, I think it’s okay as far as content goes, and also a little humorous the first time around…but if it starts again every time the page is reloaded, then having to pause it, turn off the sound, or listen to it running again and again whenever making a comment, etc. can definitely become a pain in the butt, in my opinion.

But it’s your site. Torture me all you want, Marina. I ain’t leavin’!

Hahahahaha!

It’s supposed to only load either once a day or an hour.. not sure.. I’ll get them to tweak it depending on how it loads.

“Goo goo g’joob” in Lennonese.

aight well im about to go do nothing. Marina if thats your name i think your hot. very much so. many other compliments as well but i rather tell you when i see you in person, i dont want to be teachers pet, i want dinner! bye guys

Wow, that was a lightning-fast response!

You rule, girlfriend.

kisses.

Knowing is half the battle—in which one could conceivably lose both an arm and a leg… :razz:

Plus, my computer’s not the fastest, so it’s a bummer havin’ to switch ads/videos off all the time… :sad:

Marina, could you please make two videos for me?

#1: “blimp”
#2: “pencil”

Thank you, Sweethear! Mmmmmmmmmmmmmwah! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

And, Marina, I don’t mean to be nosy, but where do you live? I’m not asking for the address, I basically just want to know the time zone.

I think the video is fine – but I find ads that have sound automatically come on to be annoying. I hate that. Tell them that having an advertisement make noise (putting the onus on me to mute it) is very poor netiquette.

Oops, I meant to write “Sweetheart”, but it IS sweet to hear you! :grin: :grin: :grin:

I second that! :evil:

Which ones?

3 i belive the one about tying up pigs :shock:

LMAO not LOL

ya, it kinda sucks. I even hate that on youtube.

Actually that comes from a bit of Greek Mythology. It originates from the story of a man named Narcissus who was apparently very good looking and all the women and nymphs wanted him. What’s more, he knew it and turned them all away, thinking there was nobody good enough for him. Then one day a maiden who had failed in attracting him asked that he be punished. So, while hunting he found a pond and in it saw his own reflection. Basically at this point he fell in love with his own reflection and died right there by the water. So that is how we have the word narcissistic meaning ‘somebody who is in love with themselves, or very vain’.

Umm… 2hotforwordsfanclub…you are “too confused” about the Moon landings to have an “opinion” on them? Give me a break. Americans have walked on the Moon several times – not just one “Moon landing.” They weren’t faked. There’s stuff up on the Moon, including a laser reflector that scientists bounce lasers off of all the time. The Soviets, and others, monitored the Apollo Moon missions as well, and if there was any reason to believe they were faked, you better believe the Soviets et al would have pointed it out. Don’t even pretend to be confused about the fact that humans have walked on the Moon.

And, you can’t honestly believe that 9/11/01 was an “own goal.” The U.S. orchestrated an attack on New York City and Washington DC via hijackings of U.S. aircraft, and the murder of thousands of U.S. citizens…and not only was able to pull it off, but actually kept it secret? Without even going into the fact that there is absolutely ZERO evidence for the allegation of an “own goal” – if the Bush Administration could pull that off, don’t you think they’d have been able to get at least ONE other thing right since then? My God – you give a lot of credit where it isn’t due….

I’m going to stop there, because the rest of your post scared the crap out of me. Dude…..

how about looking at the time stamp on here? hm?

Yoicks! :shock:
Or should I say “Oinks”!

Whew! :cool:

There is a video on the web soemwhere that seems to suggest somewhere in Tinsel Town.

wordlover…. that’s the joke….. get it? The expectation is that the question will be about the let ball hanging lower than the other….. when you add “two” to it, it takes the reader/listener by surprise, causing amusement…..I wasn’t claiming to literally have three balls….

But did you hear about the Greek God Testicles? People said he was nuts!

BTW, does anyone here prefer the new beta YouTube player or do you like the old (standard) one?

Sorry WL the last sentence was like flight 7156 to Mosambique.
I thought that onomatapetic words were non specific to any language by definition.

It just means you get more than what would normally be expected, like a special added bonus or something.

The early 1970′s was at a brief moment in history when many young women were actively rebelling against the constrictive clothing they had to wear in order to appear “acceptable” in public, so many of them gave up wearing a brassiere as a gesture of their liberation from the oppression of the male-dominated fashion industry. I guess I didn’t mind too much :roll: .

We (men) used to occasionally notice quite a bit of independent motion going on in the upper torso area of certain “liberated women” when they walked, or did almost anything, for that matter. Watching surrepTITiously, as they walked by, we would then wait for a respectable time to pass and whisper to each other stuff like, “Do fries come with that ‘shake’?”

Hence, “all that and a bag of chips.”

D’jya get any anya? Better wipe it off.

Thanks, aLx, I know, I just wanted to know where she lived, what region. Just curious. I like to know these things…

So, Marina, what’s up? :smile: :grin: :mrgreen:

Haha that’s a good point, actually in french they called the letter ‘double-v’. Pronounced like ‘doobleh-vay’…..well that’s at least as close as I can get it using the English alphabet rather than the phonetic alphabet. I have two theories on this subject. Maybe Marina can shed some light on it?

1. Because there was so much animosity between the French and English cultures for such a long time, that maybe for the English language it was decided to be different from their enemy and they changed it to ‘double-u’ as a result. Much the same way that American culture became very much anti-German during World War 2.

2. I believe that the same ‘double-v’ holds true in the Spanish language as well. Both being Latin based languages, and English not, perhaps the letter ‘W’ was written differently outside of those Latin based languages. After all, you can write the letter ‘W’ as if it were two u’s and it still looks like the same letter. Much the same way that you can use different fonts to type up a paper using a word processing program. It could just be that it looked more like two U’s than two V’s, resulting in ‘double-u’.

Early 80′s, first time I heard it.

Or were we watching superSILLYASSly? :razz:

Don’t get it that dirty again PLAYER that’s dreadful.Surprised you could read the text :lol:
I have every confidence that you think that Marina looks perfect everyday just messing.
Ever told a woman she looks beautiful today. You will wish you hadn’t !

No, but I heard about the Roman God Testiculus. They said he was “NVTS”!

Unfortunately there is a queue to be the teacher’s pet my friend. :lol:
I put on a suit and had a shave before standing in it and now my beard keeps my feet warm as my suit has rotted away with the long wait

Couple words that might be fun: uvula, furtive, vulva

LOVE your video Marina.

Michael

Hi marina. Can you do the word regurgitate?

Me too! :mrgreen: ( :razz: )

Agreed. It slows down the loading time as well. I’d like to think we have a quorum. But we’re the unwashed multitude, here.

My dear hotforwords,

Could please tell me the origin of the word lesbian?
I’m not trying to be weird! I’m really curious!

Thanks! I love your videos!

Chloe

Good point about 9/11, prospero811, conspiracy theorists seem to overlook that one. But a CT may answer back with, “No! The US gov’t just wants to keep a low profile so that people don’t get suspicious…”
WTF? People are ALREADY suspicious, what difference would it make!

Cheers :mrgreen:

OK, thanks! :grin:
Again, not bein’ nosy—or, at least, I don’t MEAN to be! :mrgreen:

You ought to be ashamed of yourself WL :roll: You of all people WL should know better than to encourage Marina’s salaciousness :???: hmmmmmm :idea: can you hear the gears whirring and clicking ?

I second the motion to choose :idea: :idea: :idea: ORGASM :idea: :idea: :idea: as Marina’s next word :wink: . I am very confident that it will be very soon so give me a mention oh precious pouting pulchritudinous Petunia petal if you read this when patrolling the page

Personally, i hate almost all kinds of advertising, were bombarded with so much of it, it just gets infuriating, I don’t like anyone telling me I need to by this or that. The worse ones are those which say save $xxx now only $xxxxxx . Mostly those damn car adds. They think were stupid or something. You spend $xxxxxx, you sure haven’t saved $xxx, However if I can find a way to run it in the background with the sound off I’ll let them run. After all a girls got to earn a living , rIght?

here’s an old high german text. you’ll see that some words have “uu” in it or start with “uu”. now, if you click on the graphic above (the book), you can listen to that text. mp3 and all. will sound like an english /v/ … but the engl. v is like the german w, that is, the german w sounds like an english v.

oh, damnit.

… “uu” will sound like an english /v/ …

Trust me prospero811. No joke in any language flies over the head of wordlover

Lassooing women with his unfeasabley large horn ?
Or clubbing them with one of his 3 nuts ! :lol:

You don’t have to let it run.. just stop it.. or hit reload and it won’t load again for the rest of the day I think.

click-click (sound of a 12-gauge shotgun shell sliding into the chamber).

“Who’s there?”

Shouldn’t Youtube/Google be pushing a little coinage your way?

You’re providing a a lot of content for them to wrap advertising around.

Anyway that’s my 5 cents worth. We eliminated 1 and 2 cent coins in OZ a few years ago.

The video doesn’t seem to appear, I will try again in an hour and again tomorrow.

All the best.

Hey ;) Maybe it sounds funny :D but i would like to know what the word “masturbation” means :D <3 your vids ;)

well there is the letter pattern of t t w t t w t t w…..then there is the The’re….There…..Thier and the Too….two….to Im sure there is plenty more if analyzed

I knew it! :wink: :razz: :!: :twisted: :neutral: :mrgreen: :roll:

how did the word vampire originate? Thanks!

hmm maybe it means she’s a knock out and got a bag of dollar chips, or she’s well off.

:lol:
Same here: I need a shave!
:lol:
LOL
:lol:

Ads that require the viewer to do something to not be annoyed are not the best. I, personally, can deal with video running, but there are two kinds I absolutely hate: (a) the kind that pop up on your screen (either pop up ads, or those more ghostly varieties that are difficult or impossible to click off), and (b) things with sound. There is nothing more infuriating than clicking on a website and having some sound/voice start up. Then you have to stop what you’re doing, look for the button to click “off”, etc. And for those who might be at work, it is doubly troublesome.

The first time, I thought I clicked something in error.
I was responding to email comments and opened
three tabs. Sounded like all hell ’til I could tag ‘em all.
How are they getting by my security??
mutter mutter .. I’ll figure it out and work up a patch.

If he loves words so much, why doesn’t he marry them? Oh!

…My 12-gauge.

“My 12-gauge WHO?”

KABOOOOM! Damn smart ass! Okay, next house…

:razz: :wink: :lol:

We’re headed that way in the U.S., too. It now costs more than a penny to make a penny….

AND when you post a comment, that sets it off!
This is fun! Whips and chains! Ugh .. here it comes again.

And the German V sound like an English F. Most of the times (i.e., not in words of Latin origin). Ain’t the Roman alphabet sumpthin? :mrgreen:

Come on now you two
Alx is supremely intelligent German achieving English to a highly admirable level (says this Englishman) and WL is a supremely intelligent American achieving German (and everything else come to think of it) to a highly admirable level. Culyural humour incompatabilty ?

Confusious tabular inscription in Taipei Temple say ”annoyed he shows argument lost he has’ I think I translated it right
SO you both got annoyed and both lost !

Please stop bickering or I will throw not only throw my rattle out of my pram, but the dummy (pacifier in the US ? ) and whip you both with my security blanket :lol: CALM DOWN THIS IS A FUN SITE :lol:

This is a test. Did you wiggle you nose, or something? :wink:

Ok – i think figured out which cookies
must be killed, now to verify it.

shaved pussy?

Good old Jack always bring on a smile.
He is well travelled and picked up some gems on the way !
Nice she see him drop a few sometimes. They glisten and shine

I thought a swag was a curtain drape or a burlgar’s bag of loot, or an Australian travellers backpack

no joy – Phuket, i’ll just turn the sound off!

I know, I was just teasin’ aLx (about his English, etc.)

But don’t tease me or I’w thwow my bottwe, secuwity bwanket, and diwty diapews in youw genewaw diwection! :razz:

Only Pee-Wee Herman has that privilege… And he married a dwarf—that was connected to his crotch! Oy! :roll:

I’m gonna tell you the way it is
and I’m not gonna be kind or easy
YouTube’s attitude stinks, I say
And the ads they run are totally vapid.
and now that damn ad is gonna play AGAIN!

this manufromman says please explain the Spanish interpretation of the word Blue. In England it means feeling sad or of pornographic content or of the skies ? Heavenly maybe ?

Still no video. Just ads for a Russian Dating Agency.
Humm!! I might have to trash some cookies or something.

since my answer is well down at the bottom of the page, i’ll just say i think this was a test question to see how well us people actually listen to what Marina is saying.

so fucking what? that’s not the fucking point.

would you just fucking quit commenting on every goddamn reply?

I’m fucking german, I know what v sounds like. so you don’t have to fucking tell me. what the fuck.

Silence used to be golden, so I heard tell… But now License is Golden.

Oh I thought they were coloured contact lens, which explained why the glasses disappeared.

melikadothechacha, it’s not YouTube.. it’s a company that say they will pay me 3 times what Google is paying me for that box which was like $1 per 1000 views. The video happens to be hosted on YouTube… but it has nothing to do with them. Can we just try it out for a little bit? It’s getting expensive for me to run this site and I need to make a little money to pay for the server hosting.

If it gets unbearable, then I’ll pull it.

Oh.. they have it set to play once per hour.. I can have them change it to say once per every 5 hours.. or once a day.. but I make NO money if it doesn’t play. You can always stop it if it starts to play.. but I don’t know.. let me know if it ruins the experience.. maybe I can make it only play on the homepage.. let me look into that.

Okay, it looks as though the ad doesn’t run every time I reload (the page, not my shotgun, silly!).

Thanks!

Ok ill try that, heaven knows you haven,t made much off my viewing your web site i don’t see any of these adds. I run every kind of filter i can to get rid of them,hence my earlier post

Marina, I hope you will consider my advice about opening a pay site. (Posted elsewhere here.) Intelligence is sexy and sex sells. Put them together and you’ll be a rich little capitalist…

Does the add have to start running to generate revenue?

I will risk with this because i have heard this before………
(not google)……….
I willl choose the number 3 ………….. for jam
If anybody else use this answer before, you cannot say I am copying cause I am lazy this time to read the anothers commentary :eek: .

Other thing in the list, o yes i need to say this: Marina let me tell you is a great mini show you made, i learned a lot of vocabulary here (for real) and congratulations for you “exito”. Sorry i need more practice in english :???:

ha and number 3: In my country the color of the sky depens of the weather. I don´t know if this means another think…………..in that case that doesn´t hurt me :twisted: . This is for the commentary of my mail :smile:

greetins

Show him a Marina video and his manhood will rise from the dead.
I’m so glad I didn’t type that. Must reset my password

I am dyslexic and decided to carpet the kitchen as I can live without linos. :roll:
Hey wasn’t Leonidas the King of Sparta who took 300 to battle ? I think this chap has some valuable experience on the subject of armour and battle tackle !
And his wife was pretty tasty too Carmen Electra not as sexy as Marina. :roll: Marina where is the smiley logo for ‘I think I feel sick !’

OK.. I made it so that everyone who is logged in, ie: everyone who makes comments will NEVER see the ad.. only people who come to the website for the first time.

How’s that?

Well, maybe I’m alone in this, but the video really didn’t bother me at all. I think if you can make money by putting those ads on your site then go for it. You have to get the money to run your site from somewhere right? Unless you want to start charging your students. :shock:

что eта cниka

Thanks melikadothechacha.
That video is awesome.
I’ve got a lot of old videos to look thru … more homework.

The size or your groins I am surprised that you don’t friction burns from dragging it behind you buddy :grin:

For you more appropriate would be to ‘Lard you groins’ or grease them !
All 4 items ! :lol:

I like this comment box at the top.

hey coldboars who said everyone gets your name wrong :lol: only messin

I know a lot of Colleens in England and they ask to be pronounced Kolleen. Where do you live and how would you pronounce it ?

If Marina makes money out of it, then I wouldn’t mind seeing it
every time I connect.
Go for it Miss M.

no no that is unacceptable if you need the revenue please keep it running to your full benefit.

i’m glad to have contributed to a nice thread. I just wish I had anything to add now that it’s a Zappa fest.

Thank you for having the comment box on the top of the page!

Go to the Floccinaocinihilipication lesson for that day’s answer to your question. And while you are at it go to Depilation as well.
The mere memory brings on another heart attack

i was wondering where the word punk came from and how many different versions are there of it i know of at least 2

that’s a great solution, Marina, but I worry that you’re leaving money on the table. maybe folks that are logged in could opt out with a cookie? that way you’ll still get paid for the folks that are logged in that don’t care if it plays.
I think most of your students would agree with me: we want you to be wildly successful; we don’t want the experience to suck unbearably; we don’t want to have to pay for access (that would seem to run contrary to your mission); we’d be willing to compromise a bit, as long as we felt like we weren’t standing on a slippery slope.

Underwear had to be last to be invented if you think about it
To be worn under pink flowery vinyl shower curtains that hadn’t been invented yet ‘? :lol: .
It had to designed to be kept under a layer of clothes that has alreay been invented or it would have been called overwear………….. :roll: :eek: :lol:

Marina, it is only a minor nuisance (say, now THERE’S a word…HotForWords should “decide to investigate”). Your loyal students want you to be fabulously wealthy, so that you can continue to grow your web offering for the greater good of all mankind. We don’t mind these little minor annoyances. Please don’t be rash about taking down a moneymaker (there’s another word, as it relates to a woman’s derriere…hmmm…philology is getting into my blood…as is Marina :-)

:roll: you should have just given the number and if you got it wrong you could just use the excuse that you posted the answer on the wrong game and thought you were answering to the Golf question or whatever.

No need to be hasty, girly girl. :mrgreen:
I am learning patience my whole life. :evil:
I apologize if my straightforwardness was
perceived as being rude or thoughtless. :oops:
I’ve been having a ball since I found this site.
This last little change surprised me! :shock: :shock:
but i’m all better now! ok?

As crazy as this sounds, I think its Numero tres (3). :smile:
I would also like to REQUEST the word “Eye candy” and how it became to mean something that is pleasing to the eye…. :roll:
Marina you are great example of “Eye Candy” :smile:

My Teacher I belive it’s #1. to tie up your loins as a part of your body for war.

If you two children don’t stop fighting I will throw the rattle out of my pram again.

Sparta (now called Sparti) is located in a district called Laconia. If you watched the movie “300,” you might have noticed that the Spartan Hoplites bore on their shields a Lambda…their abbreviation for Laconia or Lakedaemon. They were men (and women) of few words. The famous saying of the Spartan mothers to their sons–”Come back with your shield or on it”–was, in reality, simply “With it or on it.” Rendered in Greek (phonetically) “E tan e epitas.”

I say run the adds to your full benefit. i don’t want to be a freeloader.

Marina is eye candy all right, but also BRAIN candy.

Didn’t he buy a warehouse because his spelling was bad

Has any one noticed that melikadothechacha, seems to be a real a-s with his smart A-s commets. and his pic with those 70′s top gun freak glasses. sorry teach, he just brought it out in me.

These guys make sense.
This is what I should have said.
Thanx guys

You are pretty quick on the draw with those video URLs prospero.
Songs lyrics etc
How do you get the time to go to the toilet between youtube views ?

I hope it works out ok $ wise, but tell us if it doesn’t.
I would be crushed if the site shutdown just because we were a bit
too impatient to let an ad run.

The gravatars now take a time to load now anyway, but I’ve got used to that.

XXXXX

it costs 7 cents to make a nickel too. we should get rid of coins

Nope. I haven’t noticed. He generally has good comments by my book. and what a cool handle! Sorry, Swede. Gotta keep the solidarity.

I would like to personally apologise to you for any offence you may feel. I acknowledge my dontpodiatry in these matters. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, as I am sure you speak for many who did not write in. Rest assured I am getting my comeuppance. I feel like I
can grow from this experience, and carry on, but let’s face it.
I was not at my best and I sincerely hope to not upset anyone, again.

Is this what you do after you have girded your loins too tightly

newbie question number 8: how does one get the photo to show?

I am sure you have seen this Alx but it is a classic http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=PTwwmBqZR6A

You know, I don’t have a clue…….by the way, would you marry me???? Please???????

Your sigh of relief was premature
Here we go………that………

right or wrong, I love that answer!

Thanks learned friends very interesting. Any more animals would be appreciated

I believe he contracted a fatal dose of Bolchevism !

i wanna know about the word Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia
and why its sooo long

I think you just explained that for the benefit of the readers I was only messing

hello. i would like to request a word. i know you’re from Russia and i have been watching a lot of racist videos lately. All of the videos come from Europe, racist soccer fans in Spain. Some underground racist groups in Russia and racist kids screaming at the camera in Germany. i would like the origin of the word “Racism.” i’m very sorry that the old continent is consuming itself with hate. i would also like to know how do say “Racist” in Russian, i could just google it, but it would be better to see your sexy lips say it…

Okay. I’ll make the sacrifice.
Who’s there?

I don’t know if I completely trust a movie that was made by a man who tried to live up to a great movie [1964's The 300 Spartans] but failed terrifically.

I both took Greek and hold a B.A. in history, however, I just thought it would make a good video. So much for a suggestion.

Interested in Greek Proverbs, check out Plutarch’s On Sparta.

Hi Marina, would you do a video on the word CAHOOTS sometime?
Thanks and keep up the great work….Bill

I think that i didn’t explain my point very well. Many people believe these theories . They are people that have been subjected to different propaganda or the more civilised versions generated by spin Doctors.

All i was trying to say was that none of us are necessarily fed the correct information to formulate an opinion.

Also, love the Powdered Toast Man reference! Ren & Stimpy rock! (old school only though)

Only well behaved pets please http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXb39gUd1gw

Hi Teacher, grettings from your new chilean student,
i want to know the origins of the word blacksmith.

Hey Cap I knew that ads came in bunches like grapes (course) but I thought being Google ads they would come in gaggles like a gaggle of geese.
How about a herd of mice, or a flock of elephants (imagine the shit problem on the Town hall statue) :razz:

Quote Spike Milligan
the elephant is a pretty bird
it flits from bough to bough
It stands on one leg
jumps up and down
And whistles like a cow.

OK Mr Seafairer
A baby sardine
saw her first submarine
looked scared as she looked through the peephole
Oh come come come
said the baby sardines mum
It’s only a tin full of people !

You are doomed on that request buddy until the next Doomsday at least !

Hello hotforwords. Let me start by saying WOW!!! I just discovered your site and can’t wait to share this with my wife. I have a new 7 week old son and can’t wait to build his vocabulary with you. Y
You make learning fun!!
I have a couple of requests that I hope you can help me with.
1. Where in the hell did the expresion 23 ski doo come from.
2. what the heck is onamonapia( hope I spelled that right)
hope you can help, can’t wait for the next lesson

S.O.U.P. theme song?

I personally vote for one of theTurtle SOUP songs.
We would need to fine-tune the lyrics.
Maybe Aniram could sing it for us on the DVD?

Suffixation? Sort of like your comments. :razz:

Hey melikadothechacha has a great idea. A little fat 8 year old having his fragile little innocent mind corrupted by watching HFW videos LOL :razz:

Actually the pay thing brings up the subject of obligation if it is directly related to an endorsement. Could cause difficulty & brings in lawyers, contracts & stuff which takes a lot of $$ meaning higher cost & more need & more obligation.
Pay per view or pay for use implies entightlement, I think Marina has been & needs to continue to be very carefull not to give up control to outside interests & from what I see she doesn’t take orders from bullys & such, but uses her good judgement while experimenting with new ideas. She is fun to watch from almost any perspective.’nuf said.

I reckon there’s a hole lot meeore to this question.that meets the eye.
I would paws to think about this one it could have catastophic results.

haven’t finished signing up yet, but thanks!
I’ve wondered that for some time.

ne’ermind. read another post that mentioned gravatars.

Turtlewax:

Proud to know you. Mosey on over to gravatar.com and they’ll put your nice little picture next to your postings. Just make sure it’s not quite as recent as mine is. Jeez, I look like I’m pert’ near dead! My comb-over reminds me of a bunch of white feathers in that dang ol’ picture too! Must be time to get a better camera!

-pennsyltucky9

errr ugh Ok Ill be a Man about it and say ” Put a help “contribute\ support my website” button next to your videos. Don’t let a gentle nature or a proud bearing nature be the downfall of your goal and dreams. I will contribute if you choose to do so, as many others would also.

Her eyes give a new definition to the term enlarged pupils.
Is is only the pupil’s pupils that gave reaction here ?

i would like to know where the phrase “big wigs” came from … you know when a boss comes in the room and someone says look he’s one of the big wigs… and i think it is number 3 for the loins game :) cheers!!! :mrgreen:

You too, man! I appreciate it!
-Dave

:mrgreen: Please do a video on the word “territory.” You are the best!

What did I miss??? I run a small business, now two. The last business coarse I went to I learned that pennies count at the end of the year. Add up all the pennies & see what you get. We used to give away free valves with every new tire. two years ago we started charging $1.50 each, some complained but not many @ the end of the first year it made a difference of $12,000 to our annual revenue. last year we charged $2.50 per & less complaints, we give great service & back up our products & treat customers like family & it works. The little add ons are neccesary to complete the total picture & cover all the little add ons that cost to run a succesful operation. So hit us hard Marina
we lack discipline. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=JUhM0BrZjsM&feature=related arnold runs a tough class eh!

Hi bdv1970,

Sometimes Marina doesn’t answer, so if you want to look that up, it’s (onomatopoeia) I think.

Uh, I got some important news for ya… Men never had a snowball’s chance in H… :shock:

No, wait, I’m not allowed to disclose that. Proprietary information! Never mind! Pretend you didn’t see this! Uh-oh! Gotta go.

It’ll behoove ya to care for your uvula.

Hi Marina! I just thought of another strange expression: “sounds fishy”. Fish dont make sounds, thats silly! Why would anyone think that something sounds like nothing?

I like to know what the origin of the word “pool” :?:

Isnt that because french nobles used to wear those redicilously big white wigs (ie: the ones with big wigs had the power). And it became poplular in many other countries I dont know about england but this could be it.

Don’t give us no lip about not being nosy. When you’re not busy being cheeky, your silence is downright eerie.

(Muuhuhahahahahahaha!)

Hi geronimo I was actually meaning to answer #2 Although I see now that I was unclear in my homework answer.
On my race car there is one belt in the five point harness that I guess could be related to the #1 option. It’s called the “sub (Submarine) belt” attaches to the release buckle below the naval & the bottom end is fastend to the floor between the legs. Prevents my body from submarining under the steering wheel in the case of a heavy front end collision. trading a lesser pain instead of an ultimate pain. I’ve never actually said “I’m going to gird up my loins & drive it like i stole it,” but I could. Cheers

Thats not a cyclops, ritalate. It’s a fat lady viewed from behind while taking her wetsuit off!

Great now you let the cat out of the bag. There goes the neighborhood. How are we so post to keep up the illusion with you spatting out the truth all the time. :mrgreen:

Will you email us when they’re ready? Or should we be watching somewhere else for information? I’ll need a couple sets.

Marina, please close you comment box………..Hey that has a nice ring to it………off to the pig pen i go

night all

off to bed i go
im just a working joe
hi ho the morning oh
its off to work once mo

Bye

No. Bees’ knees aren’t important. Unless you’re a bee, of course. But they are pretty dang tiny. So it’s a reference to something being perceived as “cute” instead.

At least, that’s my impression.

About the money and video adds…

Maybe some donate will help You Maria???

Hey, I already asked that, but I guess all those holes in the door must’ve scared him off.

Hey Marnia, How about putting up a donation/share the expenses button. Have it post a goal to be reached for the month. I would put in a few $$$ into it. Or about this we pay to remove ads? I would go for that too. Tell us what you need and we your student body can offer lots of help. :mrgreen:

In fact, in that picture, I AM dead. It’s a photo from a museum of a real human skull from the good old days of tribal cannibalism in New Guinea with some feathers and crab pincers added for decoration.

Spike also wrote, (apropos your town hall statue remark)

’tis due to pigeons that alight
on Nelson’s hat that makes it white.

I agree with turtlewax. I posted a similar solution but failed to read further down to see TW already had the idea.

Like Billy, I to run a small business and Billy makes a valid point is a buck here and a buck there really ad up over time.

If I knew what your business plan goals where I could better assist you. But that is private information that should not be released. You do have a BP? Or are you running this site as a hobby business?

I’ll tell you what Marina, Shoot me an email of your basic idea of what HFW goal is. Is it larger business goal to make big time $$$, or just want to cover maintenance of the site? I’ll get you set up with some fantastic advisers to help you out for the type of business you wish to create. Best of all It will cost you absolutely nothing but your ears. They have helped me enormous times and I would have been dead in the water if it wasn’t for them. :smile:

Yeah, take a gander at Louis the 14th sometime.

And in England everybody working in the legal profession still wears them in the courtroom, don’t they?

Talk about retro…

If you’re banging your sock, why do you need a pussy?

Wow and I thought she lived in LA. Then I saw vid that she was at the pike place market in Seattle.

Ok that changes things. This makes it all particularly challenging. I’ll have to think a bit more on this one. Marina belay my last. I don’t think these advisors want to travel that far.

Ok guys, we could have answered this one. Does Marina have to do everything around here? Now run outside and bang on some chalkboard erasers. :mrgreen: :twisted:

hahahha I see no ads. hahahha. Ok.. Im sorry :oops: Let me start my other bowser.. Hum seeing google ads but no annoying video ads.

What? and disappoint your fans? That’s the last straw!

On the other hand I can understand his point of view. Even so, putting down the way you look deserves recompense in kind.

Who’s he to judge when his gravatar is so featureless and indistinct? Now wouldn’t you agree? Wait. Maybe he’s Gautama traveling incognito. Or worse yet, COGNITO!

Okay just kidding!

I hear ya stokes! In your face ads are the work of amateur advertisers with large pocket books. He with the most money says nothing about the most intellect. :???:

A few years ago?? When I was there back in 86 they where almost fazed out of the penny. I heard that the 2 cent was next.
