Cookie (Game)

hjfkhdd

:P

Alright! aLx is #1 today! :mrgreen:
i’m up second, though

я так горжусь тем что Марина – живет в России. Отлично!

I have a word request and it is, why is the word “boo” scary?

Anything that’s not first is an also-ran. :sad:
Well done aLx, (you stalker!) :lol:

BTW, would you care to decode?

I like cookie Mommy
Cookie good for me! :mrgreen:
Cookie monster was always
my favorite Sesame Street
muppet. So uninhibited…

Answer #2 – I don’t know why…

Oatmeal with coconut
and macadamia nuts
tasty little buggers…

Privetik Marina,

ja nadejus v nomer tri, the Dutch origin…

Greetings from Bratislava today (in Slovakia)….

I think answer #3 is correct
and again another perfect 5 stars

I’ll have to go with origin number-sign three.

I have three words that I am interested in learning the origins of
-OSTENTATIOUS
-EDIFICE
-CASTRATE
Thank you, Sean

extra credit: chocolate chip

13 again

I believe it’s origin #3.
Also, I have a theory:-
When the sun is shining and the sky is blue, Marina’s eyes are blue.
When the sky is cloudy, Marina’s eyes are grey.

Marina, can you tell us if it was cloudy when you recorded this video?
I think you are a much more entertaining weather forecaster than a piece of wet seaweed or even a weather forecasting stone. :lol:
So, would I like a cookie? Yes, please, if it’s you, the cutest cookie I never met.

hmm i think that origin number 3 is correct.

EXTRA CREDIT: Sugar cookies are my favorite!

doesn’t mean anything, bob.

oh hey Teach I love those oatmeal cookies, but I buy them. If You would, What is the recipe you have for those. :roll: K Do You cook??

Number Two.

Love chocolate-chip.

Cool start to this lesson. I could watch you farding all day!

And those were cute pics at the end.

oh and i want to know the origin of the word hamburger when there is no ham in it

Actually, it does. It means that you were so desperate to be first that your fingers stuttered on the home keys.
Well, at least you have ambition. :lol:

#3 for the win. my favorite cookies are those frosted sugar cookies that you can buy in any grocery store, sooo good :D and you have always been beautiful :D

nah, I don’t really give a crap. but some others on here do. hehe.

Can we find the origin of the word, “Festive”?

I recommend a dose of castor oil. :razz: :lol:

25th!!!

Hi Marina, number 3 is correct the only thing to add is where Dutch and American cookers gather together: in New York. The cookie is a New-York dutch small cake.

But still it is possible that koekje has a latin origin.
My bet is that
1) Latin coquere gave us
- Wallon cooke, German kuechen, English cooking for cooking
- Icelandic and Sweedish kaka, English cake, Catalan coca, languedoc Coque, Danish kage, Dutch koke, German kuchen, for a cooked cake (is it a pleonasm?)
- French Cocagne, Italian Cuccagna, Dutch Kokanje, Cockaengen etc for land of Cockaigne where they are plenty of cakes
2) Grec koke, a vase gave us
- latin caucus cup
- and then all the following terms related to cups or boats: Provencal coqua, Italian coca, Spanish Concha, German cocho, Dutch kog, Britton koked…..
3) Algonquin caucus meeting of chiefs gave us
- English caucus: gathering where people eat cookies.

It always come down to those darn Dutch. Yeah I think it is # 3. I love those coconut and chocolate cookies from the girls scouts.

Word request: Sound or soundly when used in sentences such as “we beat them soundly” “sound asleep” or “safe and sound”

Can someone tell me how to change my little picture. I forgot how I did it in the first place.

festavus for the rest of us!

Marina: Please show more old pics. Work your way up in years to present.

They were invented in Hamburg Germany.

My prefered cookie is that little gingerbread guy in Shreck. And I don’t like spying cookies.

Marina! Can you do some explanations of the following for folks:

less and few ( as in less money, few dollars…not (ack!) less dollars)
number and amount (“amount of dollars”!!! yech!)
compose, comprise…you know what I’m talking about.

Thanks.

Did some research on other words probably not related with cookie
Quechua cuca -> cocaine, coca, coke, coca-cola
Imitative bird “cocorico” “cock a doodle”…. -> coq, goeckel, cock…
Imitative bird “cuucuu” -> cuckoo, cuculus, coucou -> cocu, cuckold
Celtic coc -> cock to stick abruptly

Hello Marina,

I would say number 3 (“Little Cake”).

My favorite cookies are: “chocolate chip cookies”, they just melt into your mouth, just like when I look into your eyes, will you reply to one of my poems one day soon, I pray dear lady, I pray.

Jcnick.

i would like to know where the word avast comes from, and if it has anything to do with the word vast, as in vast oceans, like vista with the land. Love you, my Russian Goddess.

I’ll go with Word Origin #3.

Also, Marina, I think you should make a lesson about the origins of punctuation marks (!&*?[{:;”). For example, why is a “:” called a colon?

Thanks, and keep up the great work!

-TAB

Also, my favorite cookie is the Chocolate Chip cookies specifically from Costco. Costco always gets it right.

teach, in Russian when saying ” this words ” the same as ” these words ”
because You say , ” this words ” I am learning another language too .and the different ways to express past ,present, pulsars etc. are making me nuts , well nutty-er.

I think that word origin number 3 is right. :smile:

Also, I’d like to know the origin of the word: Snorkel.
:wink:

ps: I’d like to have you as a teacher in my school. :grin:

It’s #3.

I laugh at your implication of desperation – Hah! :???:
I saw the post come up but it took a minute to
realize that it was new. Teacher’s Assistant
aLx takes his work seriously! Someday, I’ll
be first, and I won’t give a hoot either! :smile:

I want to guess #3,perhaps? Also,have you ever heard of hobnobbing, or is it nobhobbing? :???: :???: :???:

Richard Straus composed a famous symphonic work called “Also Sprach Zarathustra”, there is an english equivalent to this word Zoroastrianist. Marina I have always wanted to know, what is a Zoroastrianist? While you are researching the origin of this word, if you would be so kind as to also tell me about Frisbeetarians.

Kind Regards,
Rubicon

Your posts are interesting.
All bada$$ and melted marshmallows!
Wasn’t Marina holding a sugar cookie?

peanut butter cookies!!! OH YEAH!!!

acedamia nuts?

HEY MARINA!!!

I was at work yesterday and someone told me a interesting fact about the word BINGO. He said that BINGO is a term a pilot uses when their aircraft is so low on gas that it is impossible to land.
Is that true?

I think the word Bingo would a great lesson.

Thanks

Matt

I would like to know where the word “train” came from. Train, as in the train that runs on tracks, or like the one on my youtube page.

Also, My favorite word is “logistics”- having to do w/ the operation of. i would to know where this came from as well.

Thanks,
MW

I am wondering where the word “Cold Feet” comes from to mean chickening out, especially at a wedding. Or maybe even the phrase “chickening out”!

#3 seems right. Oatmeal Raisin and White Chocolate Macadamia Nut are my favorite types of cookies. The original sugar cookie is also always nice to have.

Those pictures… :mrgreen
pure mischeief – so serious!
supermodels are superboring. :roll:
so passe. Eye candy?
Beauty is in the eye.. blah blah

as usual, there are exceptions
Marina (on all fours) for example.

Eow-ie! <– just a little one
Look at her FACE in those pics!

Now that’s what supermodels’
expressions should look like.

“it’s go-go not cry-cry”
“go-go is a happy dance”
- Planet Terror – (Rodriguez “you rock”)

aawww, nice pictures Marina. Thanks for sharing…pretty cool :smile: MY favorite cookie IS a chocolate cookie with peanut butter chips or a oatmeal cookie with milk chocolate chips, but not to many chips. I just couldn’t think of a better time to break this one out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BovQyphS8kA …love it people, love – it ! :wink:

Homework: COOKIE

They all seem more than plausible.
I think this is a TRICK QUIZ.
I choose option #1, #2 and #3.

I request the word
“Success”

- Murat S.

Check out the White Smoke spam
if you don’t believe the happy dance part —– :arrow:
[my first arrow point]

My favorite Cookie is the Chocolate Chip cookie.

#3!!! :idea: I hope…. :???:

Hey Matt:
“Bingo” fuel means just enough fuel to get you back home or alternate.
“Winchester” ammunition means you are out and it’s best to find your way home most ricky-tick quick.

Hi, Marina:

My favorite home-baked cookie is the Toll House…yum!
My favorite store-bought cookie is the OREO…ditto!

Say, what is the origin of the word “ditto”?

Planet terror was a cool movie and so was death proof but terror was better over all. the best part of DP was from when stunt man mike was eating his nachos all the way through to pams fate…in my opinion :smile:

I think it is #3.

My favorite cookie? Oh I do not have a favorite ANYTHING unless it is my favorite finder of word origins

I do, however, have a passion lately for the Fresh Market’s oatmeal/raisin/walnut cookie and also the peanut butter cookie. My mother made “lace” cookies, made of coconut, butter, and sugar – -very thin and crunchy. Speaking of crunchy…

I do NOT like soft cookies.

hugs,

Fre

Marina:
I’m still getting over bistro! :shock:
What every is Dutch is fine with me.
I think that’s three.
Your always a ten Darling

hey marina when i say this i mean it as a compliment u got a nice rack :wink:

I select origin #3. Migration across the North Sea from the Netherlands seems to be the simplest reason.

My favorite cookie is any chewy cookie with chocolate in it. :wink:

my favorite type of cookies r chocolate chip and nice pics as a kid they r cute

P.S number two

I have a word request, Marina…

I ride motorcycles and so do many of my friends. Some folks call us bikers, some call us motorcyclists, some call us “motorcycle enthusiasts.

I also know that folks who ride bicycles are called bicyclists, or bikers.

So I’d like to know… where did the term “biker” come from, in the context of referring to people who ride motorcycles/motorbikes.

I know the media is responsible for much of the public image… i.e. movies such as The Wild Ones, Easyrider… and also the fabricated tales from the 50s… but the term “biker”… I’m curious.

Also, you might not know it but even amongst bikers, there are hotly contested arguments over “what is a real biker”. I’d stay away from that one… it is sort of an “in the eye of the beholder” issue.

thanks!

Fre

Nerds :lol:

#2…….. EL Fudge

test

Ok…so first of all, why do you spend so much time putting on make-up when it really is not necessary? Especially for you. Second of all, I’m thinking that it is probably the third meaning…though I don’t speak dutch….yet….so I don’t know for sure. Lastly, I’m not sure what my favorite cookie is, as it really depends on my mood, though almost anything freshly baked is great. Actually, I remember when I was a kid my mother used to make carrot-coconut cookies, and they were delicious. Anyway, keep the education coming. i look forward to the next lesson. :grin:

I will go with #1 was the answer.

Favorite cookie? too many to count. but a good oatmeal/rasin with Cinn. is always good.

And your favorite is…..?

Yours,

Robert (noticed that sound over lay is gone yeah)

I recently discovered what you were doing here and I think it is awesome. I love how understanding the etymology of a word gives you a link into how the English language has come to be.

I’ve always wondered about cookie… especially because in british english it means something completely different, but I’ll go ahead and guess number 1. I’ve always had a soft spot in my heart for the snickerdoodle.

Also I was wondering about the origin of the word hurricane. I can guess it probably comes from some Amerindian language, but there is probably more than that. Hurricane…. hmm.

THE ANSWER IS #3, THE WORD COMES FROM THE DUTCH WORD KOEKJE OR KOEKIE, MEANING “LITTLE CAKE”

MY FAVORITE COOKIE IS MACADAMIA NUT

You really do your make up quickly :eek:
I think number one origin has some relation but I’m going for number 3 because is more logical for me.
So cute you look in the photos :grin: don’t you have photos when you were teenager :razz: ??? those was very interesting to watch :wink:
very soon bye bye my dear profesora Marina !

White chocolate chip macadamia nut, oatmeal raisin walnut, coconut macaroons, lemon sugar cookies, snickerdoodles, butterscotch brownies, baklava, and gingersnaps

For that, you pay extra. Step right this way.

WORD REQUEST!!!

I was wondering if you might be able to do a video on the word “Tie”(the thing that you wrap around your neck) and how it relates to the word “Cravat”

Well, hopefully you read this and decide to do a video on it :D

~BTW~
I think that your gorgeous!! Same as every other guy who has seen you :)

Josip Glavan

philodamia nut

trust me you are never too low on fuel to land :lol:

#3 maybe cause i was born in Holland

number 3 and my favourite is anything!

P.S. the cookie video and salmonella was flagged as an inapropriate video on youtube! :shock:

:wink: my favotite cookie is you sweetheart :wink:

#1
but i guess it is going to be none of the 3.

cheater, B/W pics, brown eyes or blue . blond or brunette. plastic or paper. ????????????

“I fell asleep on the davenport.” Why was a sofa referred to as a davenport?

You fell asleep on a town in Iowa?!?!?! How big are you?!?!?! (Kidding)

Why does cargo go by ship and shipment go by truck?

Marina, I hope someone picks you up for a syndicated TV show. A young Russian woman comes to America to teach English and struggles with her students who are awe struck by her beauty.

Drive on the parkway but park on the driveway?

Hi Marina I’m going to guess origin number 3. My favorite cookies are chocolic chip and peanut butter.

#3…and thank you for sharing a bit of yourself and your family… :smile:

as for my favorite cookie, nothing beats “Grandma Denny’s Applesauce-Raisin Bran Cookies”

here’s the recipe

they are good & good for ya…i mean…golly, fiber!!!… :mrgreen:

Favorate Cookie – Commercial – Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies
When i can’t get that, Origional Orieos.
Home Made – Choc Chip Toll House – Slightly Undercooked and HOT

Please say ‘Moose and Squirrel’ for me!

Is it good with beer?
btw UPEC sent a postcard to you from Salmonland.

The word “revolution” – very interesting origin.

The answer is 3 :!:
My favorite cookie is YOU!~ (or Italian annesette cookies )
Let us take the word further shall we teach?
Who started calling women “Cookie” in the early 1900′s? Was it Al Capone? What do you think Cookie? Is it Just slang dollface? What do you think .
You are adorable teacher!~Bvwe O’chin Kra see vwee Marina :shock:

Really, what is “cookie” in British English?

My (British) dictionary says 1a, Scottish, a plain bun, 1b North American, a sweet flat or slightly leavened biscuit, 2 informal, 2a North American, an attractive woman, 2b chiefly North American, a person especially of a specified type, e.g. a very tough cookie indeed. (And, sorry guys, I won’t quote the origin – look it up yourselves!)

Anyway, 2b is the one I’m most familiar with and I also came across the Scottish variant when I lived in Scotland for a while – but the Scottish definition is similar to the American biscuit definition – unless that is what you were thinking of….

Anyhow, just wondering…

Nick

I love cookies and so much more than cake. I don’t go for frosting :???: . I guess my favorite cookie would be oatmeal rum raisin. I vote for #3.

My grandmother called the couch a “davenport”. I think it’s a brand name like Chippendale.

One of my favorite books is on punctuation. It’s “Eats, Shoots and Leaves” by Lynne Truss. It’s very funny. She explains where punctuation marks come from.

Yes, and why do you park in the driveway and drive on the parkway? And if you “ambulate” you are walking but the “ambulance” drives you to the hospital?
Just imagine how bad things would be if Samuel Johnson hadn’t come along when he did.

Hello Marina,
You were moving like a $10 Million Dollar Woman.
Thanks for sharing a bit of your family history.
You must have went “balls to wall” making videos before you moved. We haven’t seen your new “Penthouse” except for the video when you intoduced Kobe to the world.

I’ll guess #3

I like Smart Cookies

Thanks Marina

Looks like I forgot an “r”

Hello dera teacher!
Nice pic from your younger days…! :)
My guess for the cookie is the latinword …
The word biscuit though is the same as in germany even if it spelled with “k” not “c” … but the word you gave as an option sounded more like dutch = not understandebal!

My favorite cookie (kaka in swedish) is maryland choclat chip!

from your dear student / Swedehunter

:razz: I choose answer # 3 and my favorite cookie is called “Biscochitos”, it’s a New Mexico (USA) cookie that is usually shared by the ton during the Christmas Holidays or special occasions here in “The Land of Enchantment”.

Loved the childhood pics!

I don’t think that word means what he thinks it means.
princess bride (variation)

I finally took the trip to that site.
It’s actually very easy.

My favorite cookie is chocolate chip.

I love the muppet characters. Cookie monster might be blue, but I like
blue cookies

Always thought it was something like #1

favorite cookies (not in order):chocolate chip & macadamia, butter, shortbread, coconut, ginger snaps, sugar, pumpkin, white chocolate chip…All must be baked well <—-not a fan of cookie dough. Great cookies are in Hawaii, that’s “The land of the cookie” (my quotes).

Finaly, got your picture up, eh Warren. Did you see Kobe in this game, I think he stole a cookie while Marina was busy making the vid. :-{)

I’ll go with origin # 3, Dutch koekje. #1 didn’t quite make sense, and #2 Latin seems before it’s time. I like graham crackers, vanilla wafers, molasses cookies, and windmill cookies since I was a kid. Although you didn’t ask I prefer a pastry called boterletter that my departed Dutch grandmother used to make :smile: . Or if I’m at a greek restaurant to have a gyro, I like a baklava . :smile: Actually I;m not really a sweet guy, and prefer good protein to have energy for work.

what is the origin of “tumescence?”

I’m guessing it’s n.1. My favorite cookies are oatmeal raisin :)

BillyB,
Yep, finally took the “Big Step”. I’m not very good at commitments as I can see that it might be the same with several here (including you it seems) since the avatars keep changing. The box is small so I didn’t want a picture that had too many details and it had to be in JPEG format. Took a liitle while but since I’m home sick I had the time.
Bob mentioned something about smiling and I found this drawing of C.B. so I figured what the heck.

Wow Mr. BillB, you sure have changed! Did you eat all of Pollys’ crackers?

lol. It’s very funny your guess the origin word game. I think the right origin is number 3, from the dutch word koekje. Am I right? :mrgreen:

Ferrari’s in the shop for awhile. I don’t know if the pictures change automatically or not, I added a couple to wait & see if they do.
Must have really smelled nice @ Marina’s place the day she made the cookies. Can’t think of anything more welcoming than the smell of fresh baked goods. Hope you’re feeling better soon Warren.
Did you see Kobe on the floor, goofing around?

Teach, ( try this post)

I never thought about the word : GO
This is a very useful word.
GO is a true multitasker.
There are a hundred usages
A word worth a look by HFWs

THERE YOU GO…..ANOTHER WORD

Hello Marina ! Would you make me a favor by explaining the origin of the verb “to be”. I know ths kind of word is rather a verb… Ok but it sounds so strange… “To be or not to be, that is the question”.

BillyB,
The smell of anything “home cooked” is great (usually).
Thanks for the “Get Well” card.
By the way you have good eyes. I had my eyes on Marina’s “cat” eyes so I didn’t notice Kobe in his “bed(?)” wrestling with something- not the tennis ball.

looks like I forgot “the” too.

The name maybe, but the idea of hot ground meat between two pieces of bread, ?? The first time someone burned their finger on hot meat and used bread to pick it up to eat it. THERE YOU GO

i think its #3
my favorite cookie is chocolate chip/peanut butter…mmmmmm :razz:

Variety is the spice of life. :smile:

Dear Teacher…stop…
It must be number 3…stop…
I like the american cookie with chocolate chunk…stop
Amicalement…stop….
Don Felipe Gonzales de la Mancha

Eating Hobnob cookies? :???:

As Robert Redford said in the film “Out of Africa”, “The trick is not to. (land)”

If you don’t land before your Bingo fuel runs out, Bangos your chance of promotion.

This is a word likely come up with by childeren.
ooh me
coo mees
or maybe they were ” cook’s goodies” > cook-ies

Hurricane is a good one for a guess the word game. It could be a contentious issue though because I have seen different stories claiming both Spanish and Scandinavian roots.

That was very eccentric because a davenport is not a sofa but a small chest of drawers.

This 1 was sooooooooooo simple. I am dutch like my name :razz: and the answer must be #3

and for the record I like cookies too

Dear Teacher:

Number 3, from the Dutch.
Favorite cookie; Toll House chocolate chunk chip.

THXeleven38
I want to escape.

#3 because its always the dutch one

choclate chip cookies with ggynormous choclate chips obviously….

#3
Word (phrase) request—-you hear of a strorm that will “peter out ” or an oil well that “petered out”——-who is “Peter”

Defo number #3

Number 3, although your pronunciation of “koekje” could be better. You pronounced “koekje” almost as cookie – treating that “j” as if it were an “i”.

For the correct pronunciation, it’s easiest to describe for the plural, “koekjes” (cookies). You can pronounce that almost correctly by taking 2 english words, “cook” and “yes”, and stringing them together: cook-yes. That’s how you pronounce “koekjes”. Now, for “koekje”, pronounce it the same but leave off the “s”.

I would say answer #3 is the correct one.

BTW my favorite cookie is macadamian and chocolate ship.

HotForWords, I got a question for you. In the country I live, The Netherlands, my surname is really, really weird. No one in my family knows where it comes from and I was wondering if you could find out where the origin of my surname is.

My surname is ‘Balneger’ and in The Netherlands that is a weird name, because Bal means ‘Ball’ and Neger means ‘Negro’ or ‘African-American’

I hope you have the time to find it out :D

Greetings from Holland,

MarkBallie (Mark Balneger)

(MarkBallie is my Youtube-account)

Is number 3. I think so.
Cookie, mmmmy favorite is home made puff-pastry sandy. :grin:

As i speak fluent Dutch, and know the pronounciation of the word “koekje” is almost identical to the English pronounciation of the word “Cookie” i have to go for #3.

PLEEEEEEEAAAAASSSSSSSEE make me the teachers pet if i am right.

Definitely #3, and chocolate chip all the way!
I would like to know the origin of “quiz”. I heard it was created in a bar bet? Please investigate! Thanks!

My favorite cookie’s is the made from scratch cookie’s.

Ginger and oat cookies are my favorite :razz: mmm yummy

Quiz is the latest thing on the drug scene. (Bar bet? You right!)
:roll:

Word Request:

These two words might be fun to do together:

Exotic, and Erotic.

They obviously have different meanings, but they sound similar, are spelled similarly and even evoke a similar feeling.

ALLONS-Y! les jeux sont faits, number 3.I have also studied Dutch,joefrombradford is completely right,the pronounciation is identical to the English one!-The word cookie, derives from the diminutive form of ”koek”,koekje,from middle Dutch koeke :cool: anyway,even this term such as the word cake and the verb to cook trace their origin back to the Latin verb ”COQUERE”=to cook! esche raz,bravissima Marina! :grin:

If it ain’t Dutch it ain’t much – so I’m going with #3 for the answer.

My favorite cookie would have to be soft oatmeal raisin cookies, hot off the cookie sheet.

Whats the origin of the word “word”? :smile:

You’ll never find out the origin, you’ve been blackballed. Say, wouldn’t that make a good word origin to get into (hint hint Marina :wink: ).

I guess # 3. I like the oatmeal raisin cookies from the recipe on the Quaker Oats box. Old fashioned, not Quick! :smile:

What do you mean with that I’m blackballed? I read the description but dont understand what you mean :P

You’re the first comment to make sense. Oh wait, the smiley face counts as content, my bad.

i think 3 and choclate chip

erm..
i wan to request a word

wats the difference between hoeny and horn?!

sorry i meant horny
:grin:

I think this is a trick question and all three are right. :smile:

do another naked vlog

preety please

please marina :cry:

Hi Marina!
I think the word cookie came from the Dutch word ‘koekje’

Marina I’ll go with number 3 but I can’t eat cookies. I’m a diabetic no sweets. :sad: But if I could it would be soft batch chocolate chip. :mrgreen:

Like the ole snaps do ya TT. :cool:

What is it BOB a mixture like they make meth?

I vote for number 3……

He was just kidding you balneger. :razz: :razz: We all seek the three most coveted positions. :mrgreen: Being first to coment on a video having our word picked for a video and to be picked for the teachers pet. :cool:

Warren looks like all of us could us white snake no that was a band whitesmoke thats it. Have a good day. :grin:

By the way Warren I like you Charlie Brown he’s :cool: :cool:

Anything is good with beer. :twisted:

LOL! Yea, Bob, I hate it when that happens!

Its not the landing but the sudden stop that will get you every time. :eek:

#3
Oatmeal-raisin or sugar cookie or pecan fingers.

number 3,

Word Request:

Whats the origin of the word ”boobs”??
:shock:

I live on Vancouver Island & my car go by ship, for me to be able to drive anywhere else in North America. Corversely a shipment by truck, to the Island from the mainland, becomes cargo on the ship, while still in the the truck. Enlgish be funny sometimes.
When a stadium is built, seats are put in the stands, so that the people can sit in the stands :-)

The three most uncovetted positions are…sitting in the corner waiting to be teachers pet. Get out and have a few scraps & snipe a little with the other pets & those in the S.O.U.P.maybe teach’ will discipline you or compliment you. At least you know she’s aware of you now. Ah… someone else can come up with some more uncovetted positions. I don’y care about the un… ones :-)

Marina, Marina!
I mean, Teacher, Teacher!

I have a request. Where does the word “ice” come from? Does it have the same origins as “off(ice)” “pol(ice)” “pract(ice)” and any other words containing “ice” ?

Wow those quotes messed up the whole sentence, and the brackets didn’t help..I just think it’s a little harder to read if I capitalized “ice”.

does HTML work in this? Lets find out.

It’s better to stop first and then land, than to land first and then desperately try to stop before you run out of runway.
Gimme a helo any day. :cool:

boobies here :-)

coming back late, with 170+comments, there’s no doubt anymore for #3
micheldiego + superdanilchik must be awarded for their comments !
Makes me think, Marina : your guess game + student’s comments = kind of ‘learning/entertaining unit’ for me…
would be less than half the fun without comments !

As always, your little drama/movie was sweet as a cookie. Thanks for sharing these photos, it gave a friendly feeling, draws your character to the buddy-friend side : for me, the ratio sexyness/friendlyness is becoming perfect !

for the cookie vote : my preffered is ‘une coque’ which is, in southern france a small brioche with a candied angelica stem inside

PS what was the ‘trend’ within previous ‘guess games’ ?
exploration of all possible logic patterns : 1 answer right, 2 answers right, 3, no answer right … ?
Your trustful student

Origin number 3…my favorite cookie is oatmeal raisin. And enough with these games, let’s get on with the origins.

I didn’t like the games at first Nick, but after awhile… I like them more now. Teach’ wants to make us think, I’m a lazy thinker, also get to see 2 vids. on one topic (word origin, phrase)
Trend is…#3 usually the best made up story so my quess is #’s 1 & 2 if I’m wrong “no cookie for me” Favorite cookie, homemade oatmeal chocolat chip w/brown sugar. mmmm :-{}

Normally, I’m one tough cookie, but not when it comes to these word origin games. Oh well, I guess that’s just how the cookie crumbles… :roll:

As for fave cookie, I like sugar cookies, the sweeter the better. With frosting on top. And sprinkles. :razz:

Speaking of sweet, how sweet of our trusty teacher to share her kiddie pix. What a cool person. It really makes me wonder if master philologists are made and not born, or vice versa. At what age does one realize they are fated to grow up and master all that is philological? I better go eat a cookie and chew on the possibilities… :smile:

Peace, Errin : )

I got nothing against the games (even tho I suck at them), but I concur that the origin lessons are the more educational, entertaining videos. Too many two-part games can come off as padding, and, if overdone, may border on busywork (i.e. homework designed to keep a student busy rather than learning). Games are great in a classroom as long as you don’t turn that classroom into a game room, especially when you have students seeking information/education, not game play.

No worries… Marina will balance it out right. If there’s been a bunch of game videos lately, it’s probably because she is having fun with that format. The game videos are still word origin lessons, after all, just with a different spin. I don’t think I’ve gotten a single game right, but I’ve learned plenty along the way. I may prefer one type of video lesson to another, but they all have their place. :cool:

Well said.

An occasional game is fine but there have been quite a few lately. But you’re right, Marina will balance it out.

Hey, I’ve been seeing a bunch of people posting the word Get Sulky around on YouTube. Is this slang or is it the horse racing thing. Ill keep check to see if you do a thing on it. thanks

Indeed. Marina reads every comment on this website and adapts accordingly. She works hard to strike the proper balance all around when it comes to HotForWords.com, and it shows. It’ll work out fine. :wink:

Just a quick word request.

Could you do the word ‘violence’? I think it would be interesting considering that the words sounds like a mix between ‘viola’ and ‘lance’.

Also, I think origin number 2 is correct, as we study Latin and at the beginning our teacher told us only like 9% of English is from other languages.

Any landing you can walk away from is a good one.

BTW I had my first helicopter ride and my first helicopter crash in the same afternoon. Helos are basically a group of moving parts flying in close formation. They should only be boarded in cases of SEVERE emergency ( like the first plane you were on already crashed and your day can’t get much worse ). :sad:

ohh yea, you know it :wink:

I was wondering if you could tell me about the word austringer. It says keeper of goshawks but i dont know what a goshawk is either lol. Thanks!

I’m pretty sure it’s #3.

Chocolate Chip FTW! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Does the word “latitudinarian” have anything to do with Latin or religion?? :???:

I always wondered where the word “Diabetes” came from.

Does it have anything to do with the word “Diet”

Please Reply. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

:arrow: I have always wondered what the origin of the word shit is. I have found many theroies only and from friends, but the one that I find to be most convenceing is that it started as S.H.I.T stamped on manuer crates being shiped over seas in the ealy centuries. It stood for Ship High In Transit. Because of the methane build up in the lower levels of the ship and the lanterns used, explosion were frequent. They had to put it on high levels to allow the mehtane to escape. Hence Ship High in Transit (S.H.I.T.) and how it got related to defication.

Is this at all true :?: If not you could use it in one of your games.

OK this is the easy answer but I am going to go with it. I say # 3. Cookie comes from the Dutch word Koekje.

My favorite are mallow mars.

A pleasure, as it always is, to see you.
Thanks for giving me Sth. to use in some of my classes, my students really enjoy discovering words, it’s good fun and they remember them easily.
I wanted to ask for the word ” Higgledy- piggledy” which has me really intrigued. Thanks.

Trainspotting

I would guess it to be number 3 :lol: Have a good day sweet blue eyes.

Hey I was wondering about about the word pimple. Does it have anything to do with the word Pimp and what is the origin.

Про талант согласен.Чтобы учить американцев английскому он точно нужен

About talent it agree. To learn americans to english it it is precisely necessary

sorry for my english

why do we say? “it´s water under the bridge” when something of the past doesn´t matter anymore

Hi Marina

I suspect the answer is the dutch word as there were many dutch settlers in America’s early days. As a Brit we know these as biscuits (which I believe is of French origin for little cakes) and my favourite is a bourbon cream

x for teacher x

I always was wonderer’s the origin of the word fuck. My friend said that it comes from the 1600′s, when people had many wives, and would literally go out shouting FUCK! if they wanted another wife. He said it stood for “fornication under consent of the king”, but i still wonder :smile:

#1 or #3 —-> maybe #1 —> I am taking my CAE exam on 11, then I am going for CPE ———-any stategies for full exam day?

PS: Marina —– How come you didn’t went for the movies?
There is a sindicat thing?—actors?

oh, and i like sugar cookies and thinks it number 1, i like to be different (and it makes sense) :cool:

*board* If Hotforwords was a brand name. And She sold cookies, what kind of cookies would they be? What type of packaging? And the slogan.

Word request… Biannual

Why does Biannual mean twice a year and not every two years?
Bicentenial = 200 years
Biweekly = 2 weeks

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/fuck

OK I’ll start; Ginger spice / chewie , In a single serving,/ smart pack and name them ( THERE YOU GO ) another cookie from your Hotforwords, inc :wink:

youtube smart , is a oxymoron

Hmmmmm… do you think it could be choice 2? I mean it might be a longshot, but I’m going to stick with it. :roll: As for favorite cookie, chocolate ship is always my favorite.

:smile: I always wondered where the word “Vicarious” originated from, please can you do this word. Thank You! :smile:

:lol: ill just show up with handcuffs strawberries and whip cream and she’ll be a fantastic dessert :razz:

“Marina is the smartest cookie on the baking sheet.” – Rule 3.14159265 ad infinitum in The Marina Sychophant Handbook”…

therefore, her shop would be The Smart Cookie… :wink:

Biannual does mean every two years. Semi-annual means twice a year.

I think #3. My favorite cookie is a pecan praline from Kate Latter’s in the French Quarter, New Orleans.

Marina, thank you for sharing the photos. Very cute. You’re a doll. Say, what’s the origin of “doll”?

sure enough i looked it up and i was right

marina i still hope you do a show on it :grin:

The Dutch will take the cookie for this one. And my favorite is snicker doodle.

I will go for theory # 3 and my favorite cookie is a Chocolate Chip. :wink:

no, cybernak88 is correct…biannual means “occurs twice a year”; i.e., semi-annual…

perhaps you are thinking of biennial, which refers most frequently to plants that flower every two years… :cool:

it seems that is is recommended to avoid using biannual because of the confusion with its meaning, and use biennial & semiannual instead…

I failed to Thank You for sharing Your photos when You were Younger Gorgeous one could see Your potential even then Marina.

An Admirer,
Billy

Hey Marina, Tell us where the phrase Knock on Wood came from. :grin:

i believe the Dutch word origin #3 is correct.

my favorite cookie is semi-sweet or unsweetened chocolate chip with macadamia. at least until recently…..

i visited a French patisserie which had a “kouing aman” on the menu, touted as legendary. unfortunately i tried it and it was. since i recognized that “kouing aman” was in no way French i was a faithful etymological student and asked for the word origin. i was informed it was Breton dialect (related more to Gaelic than French) and that kouing means flour while aman, butter.

BTW i think your videos are simply getting better all the time.

best,
Matt

Hola Marina,

I bought all of the products you advertise and now I have no money left to buy food. :cry:

Bizooo…

Planet Terror is my favorite zombie movie. When it comes to female toughies, McGowan has a leg up on the competition.

When I first moved to Nevada, I went up in a two-seater ultralight on a blustery day just southwest of Boulder City. The trainer had a separate set of controls in case I screwed up, but I got to fly for nearly half an hour (because on our first attempt to come back in for a landing there was a car driving on the road/landing strip). It was the most thrilling I ever did. And, yeah, I’ve been up in a no-doors helicopter with a bank-happy pilot. Ultralights (a special version) are McAfee’s favorite hobby these days (that’s right, the former computer virus guy), and he has an elite club for aerotrekkers down in New Mexico. If I had the money to join it, I’d do it. Could mean a shorter life, though…

Open the pod bay doors, Hal. . . .

When it comes to a word like Snorkel, you have to go deep for the full etymological experience. It doesn’t do any good to scratch the surface.

Please do a colonoscopy on :

Oops, see I need to proofread more. I meant Hazardous Material

What about Computer Cookies?

She did a Maxim show regarding this word.

I like homemade chocolate chip cookies. I like to bake them myself since I find baking relaxing, let them cool a bit, and then eat several with a glass of chocolate milk.

I would love to feed you several warm, chewy cookies. Sigh! That probably will never happen.

It’s all fun and games until someone chips a tooth or pokes and eye.

Word request please. lonely.

IT’S ALL DUTCH TO ME :roll:

Marina…I’m the new guy, and I happen to have a bit of an obsession.

I LOVE zombie movies…

“Night of the Living Dead”, “Dawn of the Dead”, etc…

Will you please research the word “zombie” and let us know what it all means? I see you don’t have ANY “Z” words, so this would be the perfect opportunity to venture into virgin territory.

Thanks,

I beleve No.1 Is Correct And I eat 2 many macadamin whight cholect chip Cookies Ahh!

I did some research:

The first documented hamburger steak in the states apparently in New York. It appears on a 1834 menu of Delmonico’s restaurant . First hamburger served between two buns in Louis Lassen’s restaurant in 1898 New haven connecticut.

The etymology is strange. Hamburg at that time was famous because of the pork not because of the beef. Then I don’t think they had hamburgers in Europe at that time. The legend says the shreded raw meat (steak tartare) came from the baltic to Hamburg and then to the states, I’m not convinced. Maybe the teacher can help us.

Some credit has to be given to Dr JH Salisbury who promoted as a healthy habit, the consumption of minced beef. In his honour was named the Salisbury steak which is more or less a hamburger steak. During WW1 some lobbyist tried to push forward the more patriotic Salisbury steak, but apparently Hamburger won this war.

Hi Marina,
This morning I used the word “shindig” and realized I have no idea how it came to mean a party or other get-together. Can you enlighten me as to its origin?

Thanks,
JoeC

2¶ r better’n one…but 2¶r also a good cookie… :razz:

but i suspect Marina could bake up a storm if she wanted…

and i’d be singin’ in the rain…

People couldn’t tell what the picture was. Yes it was my Captains helmet when I was on the city fire department here for 33 years. It is a Cairns leather New Yorker without the bork shields. So I changed it back to the bike. If I could get to them they might be tasty, computer cookies that is. :lol:

Answers 1 and 3, Nice to see the family photos. What type of ceremonial outfit you were wearing in first photo? The way you were putting on makeup at the beginning of this video, looks like makeup sex with a silent partner? I believe my favorite cookie is my mothers home baked, made from scratch, oatmeal cookie’s.

Going to work now. bye everyone.

Anybody seen or heard from (Mesocricetus auratus) tiger today or yesterday. Hammie my hamster is looking for him. :wink:

If Marina really reads every comment on here, I’d like to know what speed reading program she’s using. I can’t keep up and I don’t have to produce videos to satisfy our insatiable demand.
Where does she find the time?
She’s obviously not stinting on her beauty sleep.

Hey Marina,

I would like to know the origin of a word “nap” since its something we all take. I would also like to add that you are the HOTTEST woman on the internet :!: :!: :!: I can’t wait for your DVDs to come out :twisted: :!:

very impressive, capman911. NY?

No Warren sorry to let you down. It was Fayetteville,NC. We also had one of three state owned Hazardious Materials fully equipted Tractor trailor units and four other units that went to other towns and cities. Wilmington has one, and I think Charlotte has the other units. They split them up so we could cover the whole state. The state furnished all of our supplies and equipment. Plus I also worked for a Hazardious material clean up crew on my days off. It got old as you said earlier being away from home so I found other part time work.

It seems there is another trend developing here; to avoid getting Salmonella, you’d better cookie the tomatoes. :roll:
Check out the CoComment link over :arrow: there,

I have a WORD REQUEST!

Marina, I was wondering, what is the origin of the word “BABYSIT.” Obviously we don’t really sit on babies. Can you tell me where that word comes from? Thanks! ^^

paige

hey hotforwords, me and my frends were wondering, where does the word “blow job” come from?
i mean, you dont blow, and you dont get paid unless youre a hooker, so like, we were all like really confused bout the words origins

whats the meaning of this word
Obdurate?

I’m gonna guess #1

hey teach can you please explane the origin of the saying ” speake of the devil & there he is”

I’m Going to say that it’s #1, my first instinct was it’s origin is dutch but in English we say things like doggy and birdy as a diminutive. which is what the je ending is in dutch.

Maybe the Kobe the dog thought he was a chew toy

Dear Ms. Orlova,

I was wondering if you would be able to determine the origin of the word “intransigent”. I’ve used this describe a few people and would love to know where this fancy word came from.

-Trackguy22

How about #1? Thanks Marina.

I think it would be interesting if you explained the origins of the words “language” and “word”. Haha is it just me or is “word” not just a funny word?

i’d like to know the origin of the word conundrum

You’r doing just fine with your English. :cool: It takes a while to learn our language because so many of our words are pronounced the same but have different meanings. I have heard it’s the hardest language to learn. Just keep on practicing. We’ll understand what you’r trying to say. Feel free to jump in on a conversation. That is how you make friends who will respond back to your comments. I have heard we speak American :lol: with all of our slang words and the way we say them. Be :cool: dude.

Maybe it is a sofa just on the other coast. Seams to me you are pacific time :?:
Look:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Davenport_%28sofa%29

It is an very interesting case of double Eponymy
The desk’s name comes from a Captain Davenport.
The sofa comes from a Davenport company of Boston.
If somebody can access to this:
http://siris-archives.si.edu/ipac20/ipac.jsp?uri=full=3100001~!211478!0#focus
Perhaps we could know if the Davenport refer to a city and what city t was.
Interesting, maybe we can celebrate this with a beer.
I suggest for obvious reasons a Budweiser.

I don’t know hatred but I wish I could get rid of mine then I could eat some COOKIES :!: Be :cool:

Cookie comes from the Dutch!!

Favorite Cookie is not even a cookie, I don’t think, but French Madelines are by far my favorite. Especially fresh, warm, out of the oven.

Pennsyltucky9 thought it was a fish bowl on my head. :lol: :lol:

Can you do a video on the word rustylug ….lol lol try a google search on my name .

I just got this from a book…uxorious. I’m sure this is one the ladies will like.

Hi Marina:

I think # 1 is the correct answer.

Very nice pictures.

:grin:

Alidor

Yep. Then it’s just FUN.

Huh? What’d I miss?

Seems like both of you are right . :cool:

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/davenport

Try doing a video on the word “cult” because it has different connotations both good (in art, fashion, film) and bad (political groups, religious groups) even though it started out as a neutral word (devotion to something).

OMG, that’s one of my first baby pictures, from when I was found under a cabbage leaf! Don’t I look soo-oo cute?

I want to request the word: befuddle

I choose #2. I have no idea what the answer is (just like in real life),
but I’m good on tests. My favorite cookie used to be chocolate chip
cookies…anything chocolate. But as the world turns and many moons
come & went, my cookie of choice has surprisingly morphed over to the fig newton… unless I can choose the ice cream cookie, an item that should be disqualified because it’s more of an ice cream treat than being in the strict cookie category.

So you’r a cabbage patch kid :?:

I think it´s number three. :roll:

Licorice.

I’m confussed.
Biweekly = every two weeks
Bimonthly = twice a month
Biannual = twice a year
Biennial = every two years
Bicentenial = every two centries.

What gives?

Fig Newtons! – I haven’t seen those in yea decades – I didn’t know they still made them.

Google – Google – Google

Hmmm, Those raspberry ones sound nice, too.

Redundant? will yes……….”some cookies” is redundant. “some”, indicates a number of…, and “cookies” also indicants , a number of……cookie–>s. We all say it thou…….Bad grammar> I was home baking [some] cookies.

I’m guessing #3, It sounds right. Also, my favorite cookies are crunchy chocolate chips and a glass of milk. :smile:

Also, hello! I’m a new student.

and how bad do you what a cookie when She says” cookie??

I’ll guess theory 3 also.

My favorite cookie is Peanut Butter.

Also, I have a word request…

I know that horseradish comes from the root named horseradish. But where does that name come from? It’s not even a type of radish according to some information I found. It’s a type of mustard. So who came up with this odd name for the root?

I have another word request as well.

How did Pineapples get their name?

They are not apples at all, and don’t resemble apples in any way. I can almost understand the Pine part because of the pickly outside and green stalk on top. But apple?

My secret is out, damn it Capman! But I should probably take this opportunity to recognize my blessings: at least I’m not a beanie baby like my little brother.

Hi, Marina. I’ve been thinking about the word “diet” and doesn’t it seem strange to say that word. I admit that I’m an overweight person and that I need to excercise and “diet” if I want to lose weight LOL. What was the first civilization that came up with this word? Or better yet, what is the origin of the word “diet”?

Thank you.

HI Marina,
I guess no. 3. The little Duch Koochen.
Yes you’d make a fine supermodel, I think you already do!
Thanks for sharing your pics. I hope you had a good childhood.
another +5 hugs and kisses

Maybe the fruit’s resemblance to a pine cone was a factor in its naming. Just a guess, though. HotForWords must investigate.

I like your word request. This word is going to be interesting and good when Marina investigates this word…..Babysit….LOL

33, to be exact.

Thanks for putting that one to rest, Mike.

Pairadots is that with real rum or just a flavoring :?:

He ate too many cookies sniperskaya :razz: :razz:

Its name derives from the Dutch word koekje or (informal) koekie which means little cake, and arrived in the English language through the Dutch in North America. It spread from American English to British English where biscuit is still the more general term.

BillyB posted this further down I don’t know if you seen it or not TT it’s about your snaps :cool:

Hi, Marina, I’m a new student and I would like to know the origin of the word “oxymoron”. Please consider my request, I would really like to know where this odd word comes from.

Thank You!
Morgan

Pay no attention, Mark. As you can see I’m also bald. But it doesn’t make a bit of difference whether black bald or white bald. Bald is bald any old how. Know what I mean?

вы Евгений

Hi there, Morgan,
Welcome to the club.
If you go to the menu bar at the top of the page on the left side, you will see “Lessons” underneath “Home”. Hover your mouse over “Lessons” and a single item drop-down menu will appear, labelled “The Complete Lesson List”. Click on that and it will take you to a page of links to all of Marina’s past videos, among which you will find “Oxymoron”.

Oops, I’m sorry, you’ve already done that word haven’t you? Sorry! (I’ll figure this out eventually.) Well, since somebody beat me to that one I’ll request a different word for you to investigate. I want to know the origin of “the ‘f’ word”. Surely you know the word I’m talking about, right?

Thanks (again),
Morgan

Even the sound of that word makes me anal. :lol:

She’s done that too, as one of the Maxim Radio Shows.

The comments section is where Marina gets feedback and word requests for her website. She is obviously a do-it-yourself type who takes the time to keep a watch on HotForWords.com. Look around… she doesn’t just make videos, she actively takes part in the online conversation here. Like most people of talent, she is her #1 fan and critic, and it really doesn’t take all that much time for her to thoroughly keep an eye on things here. Doesn’t seem that she has the most active offline social life and is mainly online most of the time for both professional and social reasons. Quite an interesting intellect, and wholly driven when it comes to HotForWords. Exceptional, even.

In the spirit of this game and your childhood photos, I’ll confess that my Mother told me that cookie was my first spoken word. It was a disappointment to her but, what can you do?
My choice is #3.
Favorite commercial cookie – Oreo.
Favorite homemade cookie – Oatmeal with raisins or chocolate chip. They’re both great cooked or as dough.

I agree. :wink:

Splice, nice, service, advice, device, price of rice, dice, vice, twice, thrice, Beatrice, Chainsaw Spice, Herpes Spice, Janice, Felice, and Alice (Cooper).

Every time that goldfish swam past the front, I tried to tell myself I was just imagining it, but then there it went again…

My guess would be that darn Equine Society! They are just like the cranberry guild, always trying to get their name on everything. ie: Cranapple, Crangrape, etc. The Equine Society has horsefly, charliehorse, horsing around, a horse of another color. They saw this root that taste like a radish and jumped all over it. Of course I’m no philologist, but that’s my guess. :roll:

Mmmmm, Beeeeeeeeeerrrrrr.

Welcome to our happy party. Marina is an excellent teacher and host. Sh’e the cookie of our eye. :cool:

She’s the cookie of our eye. :cool:

Except for the Budweiser part. Roll that Rolling Rock all around.

That’s a pretty good likeness, Warren. Very life-like just like mine is.

Yes cookies are like bacteria they are never alone.
Once we notice that nobody uses cooky, and noboby uses bacterium, I beg your clemence if I got some bacteria, or you got some cookies.

yeah, cap, i saw that a davenport was basically a daybed, and seem to vaguely remember my granny from Brooklyn using that term…

but then again, we have Davenports on my mother’s side of the family…

we call ‘em ancestors… :mrgreen:

my friends and i live in a town where weed is smoked almost daily by almost everyone . we were wondering how the nickname “pot” became slang for Marijuana. alos, how did the term “giberish” as in noncense, or, that makes no scence. came about.
new student and i love your movies

:mrgreen:

Can’t guess the origin of this word as it is not an English word

But you have computer cookies from the American word cookie.

Maybe we should call them computer biscuits ? :roll:

Pass the reefer rastafari and we can discuss THC terms all night .
Did I read somewhere else that you live in Scotland ?

I thought “Cookie” came from the german word “kuchen” which means “cake”. Closest choice in the game is #3. Could it be none of the above?

Thank you for your vote.

And congratulations for your choice of cookie because it can produce in french a triple homonym with a triple etymology:
Le coq mange la coque du coq.
the rooster eats the cooker’s cookie
coq imitative of the bird’s song (cocorico)
coque from the greek koke because of the shape of the brioche
coq the chef from coquere what the chef does.

There is another trend look:
“Plate overlay assays indicated that the triclosan-incorporated plastic (TIP) inhibited the following organisms: Brochothrix thermosphacta ATCC 11509, Salmonella Typhimurium ATCC 14028, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 12598″

Bi theway I am confused also

With so many beautiful pictures of our favorite philologist showing up in the videos why such a paltry number of wallpapers available :roll: ?

I think that if Hotforwords does invest in a gate then Kobe won’t run off. :lol:

ever-wonder what the biocides infused in materials (woods, plastics, paints, what else?) were doing besides their jobs of killing or inhibiting living organisms?

i’m not eco-natic by any means, but how often do we have to be reminded that if a substance affects one organism, it affects the environment?

what happens when the last canary in to coal mine croaks?… :evil:

I live in England. Never heard of cookie as an item of food.
The word is not used here at all in the biscuit sense, only the computer sense.

drat…”last canary in the coal mine croaks”…

gave myself the bird for that one… :???:

or fudge, i quit… :roll:

A nude student ? Put some clothes on at once !

Necessary or applicable

Do you know it is not English? If you know it is not English you probably know the origin. If you don’t know then you can guess. :wink:

Yet again there appears to be a profusion of confusion. But is that good or bad? What are the pros and cons? Is this argument baseless? And what happens when the bass stops? ConunDrum solo….

i like “confussed” better…”fusse with”…

WHITESMOKE

a la da Vinci code:
While the dominatrices watch from the pontifice he mortice a novice with vice and malice the prejudice is an injustice since the police thinks the cicatrices and orifices from the sevice are due to a silice no indice in the edifice no complice in the hospice.

tiger, go to the Interviews

it might take some digging, but you can find ‘em there…

I would be in gratitude if you do the word latitude

I would consider errin’s “opinion” touching my head above to be more of a matter of fact than opinion.

Dutch cookie explanation. Your first pic looks just like you! The others don’t… :shock:

That’s weird! I think maybe your smile has been with you for a long time.

A girl friend and were talking, and the subject came up…. Mrs. Miss. Ms. Mz.??
I think there should be another. Bch..or Ct….?? What do you think?

I pennsyltucky9 I suggested the Bud because of the double eponymy of a synonym Budweiser & Budweiser. In this case the same etimological origin the tcheck city of Budweis. But perhaps we are not allowed by law to speak of the other bud?

I need WHITESMOKE

i think that’s meant to be funny, but… :roll:

BCH is beach, CT is court, or Connecticut… :cool:

well, bake some computers, then…

“how do you like your cookies?” “hidden and with a lil’ ad on the side”…

I’m guessing number 3 the dutch’s ‘little cake’ though aleitch has a point kuchen even sounds like cookie. My fav.. probably chocolate chip

I’m sorry, Dave, I can’t do that.

If you think about it? A Cookie is more like a little Muffin. Well, should we call them , Muffies……right?

I’m gonna have to ask bob about this. meanwhile, go get yourself and smoke the white fuck. or something like that.

Sorry, it’s a purely American word of Dutch orgin. Although the German “kuchen” is very similar. Likely many of the Indo-european languages have something sounding similar with a close meaning but it was Dutch immigrants who brought it to America.

I would like to request the word “eavesdrop”.

Thanks!

what are you 12 alx ? get out of my ass

I don’t know this one but it sounds like it could be of Indian orgin (dot not feather). Like our words pajamas and veranda.

Like most medical/anatomical words this one has Latin/Greek roots. Diabetes literally means to “pass through”. In this case it is reffering to water passing through the body as excessive urine. There are two types: Diabetes Melitus and Diabetes Insipidus. “Melitus” has an orgin meaning honey or sweet. “Insipidus” means bland or tasteless. Thus Diabetes Mellitus is excessive urine that is sweet (yes they used to taste it ages ago as a method of diagnosis); Diabetes Insipidus is excessive urine that is not sweet; ususally caused by hormonal imbalance.

Where the hell is captainjack?

He’ll be back soon, you can be sure of that.

Hiya Maria
Could you do me a favor please :grin:
I’ve got a question for you.
Why are regular soldiers in the army nown as privates :?: ? :?:

Ya know what…. :???: I have no idea

He has been giving lessons to his students, last time I checked. Maybe he got the call to captain a vessel at sea. I have no idea how an internet connection at various sea worthy boats works for his laptop/PC/bosses PC. I haven’t heard of any major storms at sea, and maybe carries a sidearm with him in case Ichy Ambers’ pet shark gets loose.
:oops:

Hey Maria
I’ve got a big one, :lol:
I really big one. :mrgreen:

Why the heck is a leg cramp called a “charlie horse”? Was there a famous horse named Charlie!
If not who was Charlie? And was he a horse?

Hey? What was I thinking? My mammory is getting bad in my old age. :lol:

It comes from New Zealand.
Here are some New Zealand Cookies.

He has a new class to teach futher up North. He had to move his boats to there. It will probably take him a couple of days to get settled in and find a ip. He showed me in an e-mail the campus he will be teaching at but I forgot the name. I assure you a quote from the terminator : He’ll be back”. :lol:

This is where he’s at I found his original comment on the salmanella page.

Another of my favorite cookies is macaroons.

Ok Tiger no more hammie jokes. I respect your values. But I’ll find you a nice female gerbal. You know the story on gerbals don’t you? :twisted:

Maia Marina,
Another of my favorite cookies are macaroons, You should try them out they are good and good for you.

Hi folks. While we have been cutting up in class while the teacher is out of the room has anyone been to the Wired Magazine site on the home page and voted for our sexiest geek lately. Lets not forget her. We got the 7 dollar man over the top so lets do it for our favorite cookie maker. :cool:

Knight all , got to go too work now.

Or i should say its morning here, Morning all I’m off to work now.

Come on voters where your spirit. Marina has 463 comments and only 68 votes for this video. I know we comment more than we vote but let your finger :wink: stumble on the stars awhile.

Alx I went to your web site, pretty cool. I was going to leave you a comment about what you commented on being fucked up which I think is not true. But English is my only language so when it got to the part about signing up I couldn’t quite make out some of the words. Sorry. So I looked around and felt like telling you here. Again a cool site Alx. :cool:

Well Marina I guess I’m not assistant material. I can’t even ralley the troops today. :shock:

Anzacs :lol:

hello all :) finally in new flat with internet back on :cool:

I have a strong feeling that the answer is #3, the dutch word koekje. Just feels like that there is a dutch influence with the origin of cookie :)

I guess I am on a roll this morning. As my mentor Yoda would say, Feel good do I. Marina has to be the best multiculturalist ever. Look at how she has managed to bring together probably without realising it, all of us different people from all over the world to one spot and we all get along great. If only our governments could learn such a lesson. We are not only learning the etomology of words, but the back ground and lives of each other and cultures without really thinking about it. I have learned alot by just interacting with you. I would have never have met any of you and learned about Canada the Dutch or German or the Neitherlands or even Russia if it wasn’t for Marina. It was different in school this is first hand knowledge. Marina is not just another beautiful face which she is, but a true teacher. She lhas earned alot in Russia and now she is teaching it to us. :grin:
Mike

Hi Marina,

Thanks for visiting MEATHEAD MANIA! We have been learning from you for a while now. Do you think you can find the origin of mania? A word with such unique uses has to have a good back story.

Thanks,

Your little devils at MHM :evil:

If cookies comes for a small kake..buiscuit should come for the French Biscuit, which commes from th eItalian biscotto that means baked twice…

So, a little quest for you, do you knw some cookies that are still baked twice?

thanks, mike.

it’s german? huh. weird. I thought blogspot was kinda international, like, depending on your ip, where your computer comes from, it changes the language. like google. maybe I ought to allow comments not just for registered users. mh.
anyway, thanks. :)

what are you roadrunrch, a door-to-door salesman? how big is your ass anyway?

Here I am again. Does everyone know it’s national Donut Day here in America. Didn’t know there was such a thing. :cool:

Thats kind of electrifying AC DC :!:

lol. der tobi & das bo? fünf sterne deluxe?

Erstens: Ich grenz mich komplett von ‘Das Bo’ ab, mein Name hat nichts mit ihm zu tuen und darum bestehe ich auch auf die Englische Schreibweise ‘The’

Zweitstens: nenn mich dämlich , aber ich kapier nicht so genau worauf du hinaus willst

ayo, deswegen hab ich ja gefragt. ich kann mir halt unter “bo” sonst nix anderes vorstellen bzw. hab ich das damit assoziiert. ‘s gibt ja viele, die ihn mögen … warum auch nicht. locker bleiben, hm?

:smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile:
I’m guessing it’s number 3

My favorite cookie is an oatmeal and raisin cookie.

I would love to know the origin of the japanese word “sushi”

& what it means?(of course as always my Questions are
ALWAYS directed to Marina please no answers from noone else.
thanks)

warmly,
Nelson :razz:

Welcome home kbn8r!

Now get back to work. SNAP

Wow, those taste rather hostile.

Thank you, Bob; precisely what Bucky Fuller meant when he said “Spaceship Earth: please confirm attitude.” In other words, what the hell course is our spaceship on, and who is asleep at the controls?

“33″ is the number affiliated with the Latrobe Brewing Co. and Rolling Rock beer, Bob. It’s on every bottle. No mystery to it.

But your aim is getting better ?

Hey man what do you mean :mrgreen:
Sound fishy to me

Any one got any cup cakes to go with the coffee ?

Yep As a Salmon it makes me leap towards that breeding homely place

Ditto.

Suchi good question but I thing Marina is to busy to do them all bro

Hey Jon you didn’t need to underline it.
I was passing the RSJ to re-enforce your comments.
Just ceiling your comments with my approval

Yeh usually loses it’s meaning when translated

what a long history for cookies in this countrt

Thank you for showing us Marina-ie :-)
So.. you wanted to be a super model huh? :mrgreen:
Well.. super-modeling is a tough job.. stick with us and we’ll stick with you. Remember, Geek pwns supermodel any day! :-)

its supposed to look like the dude is high :mrgreen:

lol no i dont live in Scotland, i live in America.
however; Rastafarianism came from Jamaica,

man i got family in England, quick question…i’ve had scones, but what exactully is it?

copycat. do we really copy the cat? :roll:

The best Cookie(s) I have ever tasted has to be at Waterloo Station in London. Utterly scrummy, very big, thick full of choco chips, crunchy nuts with strawberry fruit drops mixed in. Missed my train because of them too. Ever since, I do best to pop into Waterloo just for them whenever I’m visiting the city. Otherwise Merryland do just fine with a cuppa green tea.

Cool photos too. Is your brother still as serious?

:lol: Hum, my favorite cookie is “Hot”….ForWords :razz:

Stay Tuned? Oatmeal cookies with honey, just the groats.

Sometimes I feel like her vids are really stealth makeup lessons. hotforprofits should get a little more natural like that sometimes. Those intimate moments are what makes Marinas vids the best.

meatheadmania: hope you are having a bright day. I second your request, [mania]. Went to your MHM—site, best to you. Was not this a cool video? HotForWords is the best.*!*!*!*!*!* :cool: ….i like gingerbread cookies :twisted:

At the end you say what’s your favourite koekje (you pronounced it Dutch and really well) so it’s no 3 for me.
I also noticed constant variable. It seems that 9 out of 10 times it is always the shortest answer.
