Cookie (Answer)

hello

I prefer fresh squeezed OJ myself with the natural taste and pulp…yummm…almost as refreshing as our HFW teacher

Hi!

Excelent!! that was a hard one.! :???:

You are the model of discretion.

A magic cookie or just cookie for short, is a token or short packet of data passed between communicating programs, where the data is typically not meaningful to the recipient program. The contents are opaque and not usually interpreted until the recipient passes the cookie data back to the sender or perhaps another program at a later time. The cookie is often used like a ticket — to identify a particular event or transaction.

In some cases, recipient programs are able to meaningfully compare two cookies for equality.

A magic cookie is analogous to, for example, the token supplied at a coat check (cloakroom) counter in real life. The token has no intrinsic meaning, but its uniqueness allows it to be exchanged for the correct coat when returned to the coat check counter. The coat check token is opaque because the way in which the counter staff are able to find the correct coat when the token is presented is immaterial to the person who wishes their coat returned.

I was wondering what benefits there are to adding soy milk to juice, does it make it taste better, more nutrients, etc.?

what’s up? :mrgreen:

a cookie remind things in your computer for you. That is a very simple answer, i’m sure is more complicated!

YAY, I got it right: :eek:

Cookies are bits of info that a server sends to a browser , with the intention to send them back at you’re next visit. This is an easy way to remember info from Internet users, like passwords and shopping carts(in web shops).

There’s no real reason why they are called cookies, it’s just a common computer science term for some kind of data held by an intermediary(that’s what my Dutch IT book says). The term fits the usage precisely.
Yuck, soy milk

Surf!

I would like to know the origin of the word War.

Sorry guy just a little bit surprised this morning. Now I got my coffe so let’s go:

>>>>>1st!!!<<<<<

And then:

The cookie has three different utilizations in computer science:
a) The well-known spy. Each time I visit your web-site there is a secret exchange of data between you and me. Without knowing it you send me a cookie (thanks teach!), I keep it in the heart of my computer and eventually send you some information. The name came from “magic cookies” name of identification tokens used by some operating systems, and initially from “fortune cookie”. Why? Well imagine some nerd typing “cookie” after a prompt and the computer answering “cookie”. As it was rather boring the nerd decide playing this game but with a random list of words. Randomly types “salmon” and the computer answers “bgaht”. This game was as funny as the traditional “fortune cookie” thing, hence the name.
b) A derivation of this random “fortune cookie” list generate another usage of “cookie”: a list of passwords.
c) Then an amusing computer science jargon cookie: An obsolete or broken machine. Why? Just imagine your computer burn or even toasted, it’s now a cookie.

Teacher,
Did you try avocado?
It is a Brazilian smoothie: milk, avocado and some sugar.

May I share a nice french etymology with you:
In french a cookie can also be called a “mouchard”: a spy.
The strange thing is that mouchard sounds like “mouche” the fly.
What is the relation between a fly and a spy? None.
King Francois II of France had an inquisitor called Mr Mouchy. Mouchy’s spies then quickly were called “mouches” and then “mouchards”.

Sorry I’m wrong, a cookie is not a spy. I finally found the truth: Microsoft :twisted: Lexicon:
“Cookie: Webspeak term for the electronic location in a browser where basic information and preferences supplied by the user about him or herself are stored.”
The cookie is a “location” :lol:

A computer Cookie is a small text file which is placed on your computer by a web site that you have visited. It can be thought of as an ID card so that the web site can recognise you when you return to it at a later time.
Cookies were invented to store information which you enter into web site forms, for example, passwords, shopping cart items you want to buy, etc. to save you from having to re-enter the same information every time you log in or even every time you click through to a different page.
As usual, it wasn’t long before unscrupulous web-masters found out that information about a surfers personal details, interests, browsing habits, and even their sexual orientation could be stored in a cookie and used to target them with advertising (Spam) or as a form of covert surveillance (Uncle Spam).
The name Cookie was adopted as a reference to Chinese Fortune Cookies because of the hidden information contained in them.

If you mix a fruit juice with milk, doesn’t that make it a Milk Shake?
Go one step further and add liquidized fruit and you have a Smoothie.
My favourite is a chocolate flavoured protein shake mixed in a liquidizer with a ripe banana.
A meal in a glass and quite delicious.

Cool panda you found a good avatar. Looks just like you. :wink:

I know the word “neet” stands for something that is tidy, but why is it used in the English language as a word that means good or special? I have always wanted to knoe why. Please pick this word trust HotForWords :mrgreen: . I love your videos and have watched them all!!! I hope to chat sometime, although I know your busy so it probibly wont happen. :cry: Cant wait to see your next video! Peace!

:shock: WHAT?Teacher’s pet <—–me? There goes my reputation. Really, that’s very cool Marina, thank you.

It’s kinda fun when it happens & I’d like to buy everyone a cigar. :razz:

I waited all day for the new video so I could be first. I leave long enough to prime my neighbors water pump and you have one of the coveted positions. Congrats Micheldiego. Be :cool:

YES! I got it right, it was #3.

I could be wrong, but I think cookies act as markers that show the places we’ve been before and also carry demographic clues as to who we are and our personal preferences of material we take an interest in. I think the reason they are called cookies is because cookies are seen as a fairly inconsequential food item due to their usually diminutive size. If the bits of information webpages leave as markers in our computers’ memories were nicknamed otherwise people might see them for what they really are: telltale bits of information that help the network keep tabs on where we go and what we do. This may normally be viewed as undesirable spying by the average person, so we would probably be less likely to accept them and since cookies (the food item) are generally well-liked by most, come in small increments so they can be enjoyed without making a big commitment (as opposed to, for example, a 3-course meal), and they sound innocuous and non-threatening, it was probably seen as a perfect nickname. The first time I heard “do you want cookies?” coming from my computer, I became highly suspicious and remain skeptical to this day of their overall benefits to the user. But they’re built-in, so as such, a necessary evil…

Maybe Marina has set a cookie to tell her when you’re away from your keyboard.

You’r probably right Bob. :sad: I probably comment to much. I guess I’ll have to sit back and not say anything for awhile or just stay off the computer. :wink: Need to cut my grass anyway. I have six acres to cut so that will take me awhile. Be :cool: see you later :???:

Nice gravatar, dude!

That drink is known in my parents’ country as “morirsoñando” or “to die dreaming” because it’s just that good. :grin: Not exactly a milkshake, but still delicious, Bob. :wink: The recipe calls for equal parts milk and orange juice, sugar, and a touch of vanilla extract, although there is an alternative which substitutes the orange juice for lime juice or passion fruit juice. But one must make sure the acid in the citrus does not make the milk curdle. :sad: My dad makes it with soy milk because he’s lactose intolerant. Either way, it’s so delicious. :-) It’s so cool that u enjoy morirsoñando as well professor!

i just love that drink, and i agree with you, it is sooooo tastyyyy…..its delicious….hunhummmii

Pure luck.
I went to a Peter Murphy show (do you know Bauhaus?) on thursday night and then yesterday had some beers with friends.
Then this morning woke up very late, turned on the computer and there it was!!!!
Dude, don’t wait, try some beers and a show maybe the magic can work again.

Yeah, it makes me want to find a mango tree and lounge around all day. :mrgreen:

Hi, very interesting recipie. I´ll try.

Regards

Alidor

the word i want you to know is” HOOKIE MAT”THE WORD IS FROM THE GEORDIE “NORTH EAST ENGLAND” GO FOR IT .FROM GOOSEGOG

I was worng again, #3 is supposed to be the best made up story, I must rethink my strategy for guessing. Cookies, I’m told are’nt good to leave on (in) your computer. They are, simply put, crummy. I must get Dell to eat them :-}

yay! I got it right! Oh and I did try that recipe and it actually was very tasty. Thanks Marina for the drink idea! I guess you help me in more things than words! :grin:

Love, Mat

Bob, it is a nice etymology. But in the begining the cookies were not hidden, just random. Now you are right they are not random at all but hidden. What’s nice is that the “fortune cookie” analogy fits both the initial random utilisation of cookies and the current hidden message part.

So you also noticed that each time you go on a porn site you get lot of e-mails of friends wanting to sell you viagra. Please somebody tell the cookie-master if somebody goes to visit a porn site it is because he is on viagra or does not need it, it is stupid trying to sell him more. And by the way he also does not need a Rolex or a university degree.

Oh and for the homework: I found out that the name cookies on the computer was invented from Cookie Monster from Sesame Street. It was based off of a practical office joke where, when activated, would make the computer say “Me want cookie” every so often. The more you ignored it, the more it would say it. This was a huge nuisance to co-workers. You would ask what was wrong and the co-working would say that his computer keeps on saying “Me want cookie” and it won’t do what it wants it to do. Then you would say “Well just give it a cookie.” They would ask what you meant and you would tell them to type in the word “OREO” having nothing else to do they would type in OREO and the program would deactivate. Cookies work on a computer when you ask for a URL. The website will send a URL cookie to your computer and the cookie will send itself back to the URL. This is used for when you might want to have your account only be able to go on a certain part of a website. Much like a “Remember Me” type thing. It is mostly like an ID number.

=P

I have another word request.

Why is a wristwatch not called a wristclock? Or a pocket watch not called a pocket clock?

I assume the word watch was first used as in watching something. Watching a sporting event, etc. This must have been used long before the first clocks were made.

So when did clocks start being referred to as watches? Was it when they started being made smaller and portable as way to differentiate? If so, why was the word watch adopted? Did people just sit there and watch their clocks?

Actually, my watch question brings up another question.

Where did we come up with o’clock?

Why don’t we just saw at 4pm? Why do we say at 4 o’clock? 4pm would be more precise since 4 o’clock could refer to 4am or 4pm. So where did that come from?

Also, what does am and pm stand for?

Disambiguation;
That’s me opening a champagne bottle to celebrate!

Dear Marina & Hot For Words,

Could you please tell me where the phrase “The worm will turn” came from, and has it always had a negative connotation?

Thank you for your time

Double_Tap_Jack

Congratulations!

Can you tell me the origin of the word “frotteurism”?

Hi Marina,

How about investigating the origin of “cats and dogs”? As used in the expression “it’s raining cats and dogs”……

Pat

Marina,

What on Earth does the expression “whoops-a-daisy” really mean and where does it come from?

Pat

Thanks, I don’t know how she did it but her timing was pretty good on this one :!:

Yeah ditto what he said, okay4now! :grin:

Go, man. Go.

water pump? is that what we are calling it now? :shock:

A little shit storm on youtube, about the co-Comment add. They have a problem with You trying to make a living. FREE> This the word of the day. Why does everyone expect you to do this for FREE?

Hmmm … You seem to get a lot more interesting offers than I do. :wink:

roadrunrnch, you’re showing your “green” credentials. :mrgreen:

We have Mango trees in the garden at our house in Thailand.

: Completely Gratuitous ?? Teacher??

Teacher gets an apple if she can identify the origin and the meaning of the French word “vasisdas.”

What is that?

I thought that this was German not French

From the German I reckon.

There are known here in the states as “Orange Julius” among others.

She has to earn a living like everyone else.

You probably wanted to say vasistas, and gave some clue….

No Shane the word comes from the only ancient meaning of the word “watch” meaning to “wake up sleepers” first recorded in 1440 to develop 100 years later into the name for a small timepiece because almost all small timepieces were portable alarm clocks .
So it’s real meaning is portable alarm clock or watch
60 years later the word watch developed from “wake up sleepers” to “stay awake to observe vigilantly” which more or less is the way that the word is used today. Whether it mean observe or guard something, this fits within the “stay awake to observe vigilantly”. Not to be confused with look which can be a glance.

Hope this helps buddy

Incidentally the term clock was first recorded in 1371 as a large time piece usually in a church tower and developed from the Celtic word Clocca from the 7th century meaning bell and slowly changed it’s spelling and meaning as people were more interested in the clock than the bell within and linked them together.

PT9 and I would rather have a beer. Please.

Abbreviation for Latin …..Ante Merdien before noon first used in 1762
Pot Meridien is afternoon first recorded 1647
Etc is et cetera ” and the others” first recorded 1418
eg is example “to take out” 1382
To name a few other Latin acronyms/abbreviations

For the record the word Cookie doesn’t exist in England, the English word “biscuit” also means “little cake” and originated from the French to be used here , in the same way as Dutch settlers took this word to the US to use there.

Sorry she has done this already.
Go to previous lessons . Where is archive expert Pennysitucky69?

ya dieses ist german; bad spelling, ( Was ist das) what is that,

Good question
Daisies are not scary at all…….
As a hamster I say whoops a cat……………….

That would you say Whoops a Tiger ? That’s my name :lol:

Isn’t and Oreo a black man that behaved like a white one ?

So does a mango and pick them in the morning ?

Really enjoy your videos HotForWords, very interesting and i think this is the first time i’d actually want to be a teachers pet! heres a phrase that i’d like to know where it originated from, “holy smoke!” thanks Marina :smile:

I would be inclined to compare them to a biscuit crumb trail to say where you have been.

Hamsters don’t smoke cigars voluntarily.

My cousin got a job in a science lab and got Lung Cancer

72nd!!!

I don’t think that a male hamster would look very good with breast implants either

What is a vocado ? an execution of speech maybe ?…only messing

No it is a woman :roll:

There are about 6 possible origins of this word from “scatter” “confuse” “perplex” “struggle” “strife” all far too old to record which came first, so we will never know the real answer to this one

Wazzzzaaaap ?
Do you have this Budweiser advert where you live ?

I like the 69 better added to his name Tiger. :twisted: But whats he going to do about all the rocks in his girlfriend throat :lol:

Another cousin got a job powering New York for a while

Teach, Love the new camera (other vids) but don’t forget the Close UPS. CAN’T SEE YOUR BABY BLUES in the wide shots. :sad:

Where did the phrase “turn the tables” come from?

Maybe you live in the Middle East ?

You know anything we can think up to say on here we can back up with some kind of funny video from you tube. Isn’t just grand and fun to do. :lol:
And no you wouldn’t look good with titties. Sorry about your cousin. :sad: He should have stuck with rabbit tobacco. :cool:

Vasistas?

Tiger Marina is on Maxim radio right now.

It was my understanding the Cocomment did offer FREE registration. It was only the WhiteSmoke Grammar checker that Marina was getting a commission on

I learnt this whilst visiting the 5 Sharespeare houses in England UK.
From the middle ages when the Chairman of the board (the master of the house) had a board to go on a trellis from which to eat.(Later called a table of course) Traditionally he ate from one side and slept on the other side (“full board” “half board” hotel terms for both sides of the board (with meals) and lodgings only using only the sleeping side of the board.)
Anyway when the board was used by the master of the house he would turn the board or table so that the servants could eat off the sweaty side he slept on. So it is like one extreme to the other.

A bishop that blows smoke rings ??????? :roll:

As her to spit them out for a minute so he can use the toilet ???? :lol: :shock: :roll:

Thanks for the great site, I was just wondering if anyone has ever asked the meaning of “tit for tat” ? If you’ve already covered this one, I’d appreciate a link to the previous answer, and if this has yet to be covered I look forward to the origin!!

I can get Maxim radio. Markie (“hotforwordsfanclub) has locked my cage. I have to operate the computer by wireless hamster (or is it mouse)

I think you are mixing clocca and claggaim

The celtic is claggaim who gave clock (english), clog (irish, gaelic), clock (welsh, corn.)
Then the low latin clocca gave klukka (iceland) cloche (france), klokke (danish), klocka (swedish), klok (dutch), glocke (german)
The latin campana gave campana (spanish, italian)

And what about bell?

Hey 6 acres
Pushing that lawnmower to is going to make you back ACRE bit. :roll:

Why is that so hard to imagine? I have a pickup with blown rings. It blows pretty blue smoke.

Hey guys, remember a few lessons ago when Marina asked us if we could find or see a “trend”? What was the trend? Do we know? Was there an answer ever given?…just wondering :smile:

well, congrats…but, ‘er…i don’t smoke…

that’s alright, tho’…”Marina is smokin’“…Rule 49.821 “Pipe Dreams” in The Marina Sychophant Handbook…

congrats again!…

computer cookies are lil’ gifts websites like to give you so they recognize you when you show up again…

some are transitory and are gone when you close your browser…sorta like Girl Scout Thin Mints…when they’re in the house, they’re gone in the blink of annudder’s eye…

other computer cookies stick around…like the one(s) from this website that let you stay logged in without having to type your username and pw all the type…sorta like any peanut butter cookie would in my house…i cringe at the smell…

okay…gotta go have a vanilla creme wafer now… :cool:

Food and eating. Tip, Cookie, Salmon, Bistro, going Dutch (some cretin made her pay for her own meal!) etc. The poor girl is starving for some nice guy to take her out and buy her a good meal at an expensive restaurant, and leave the waitress a nice big tip!

Das ist das.

Marina, nice smoothie. Appropriate since you are such a smoothie. May I recommend you try guava sometime if you haven’t already done so? Have you had an Orange Julius? Bananas and strawberries are good together too. If you shop at a store that carries food from Mexico you can find Valle brand juices sold in paper containers like milk is in Europe.

Better than a priest who blows altar boys. :twisted:

et al.; Thanks! Cigar, beer, hampster treats….whatever’s fine, help yourself to anything you’d like–from the ‘top shelf’.

Sorry Miss I haven’t done my homework and don’t intent to either

Pointless exercise

I have been first person to answer correctly on the forum twice now and the only person to ever do so.

No teacher’s Pet for the day, once let alone twice.

So how do you give out this award ? At random ?
It certainly isn’t given to the person that gives the correct answer.

I even answered the golf homework 48 hours before you asked the question.The other I answered within 3 minutes of you posting the lesson was the tip game. I skipped the legs bit on the video got straight to the lesson and beat the Botious by 6 minutes. Was there any point ? Obviously not

my thoughts were:

annuddermale on May 30th, 2008 7:26 pm

oh, and i guess the trend is that you had a date with a lesbian who turned out to be a Penthouse pet, took you to a bistro, asked if you wanted to go Dutch and you misunderstood her wink, so you split the bill but you had to pay the tip and got flummoxed ’cause you didn’t know the correct protocol…and you ended up thinking the lesbian was a dog, anyway…

some hillbilly who shall remain nameless thought it was funny…

btw, where’s pennsyltucky9?… :twisted:

Yes that ALTARS your perfective on the church doesn’t it

may i request the word, “Swagger” please?

-Kid basik

im not sure if my spelling is correct, but disestablishumanitarianism? a word similar to that has bothered me for a while. maybe because it is the longest word in the english language

Why does “therealguy” need Marina to look up swagger? asks the Reverend Swagger. You have my permission to indulge the dolt my dear teacher. As for me I would like the herd/flock cow/sheep mystery solved by our trusted HOTFORWORDS. ( I requested it a few days ago )

Marina Rocks!

I have found a drinkable yogurt smootie called KIFIR. Very tasty, organic and full of live active cultures (10) actually. I think the family business was started in Chicago by Georgian immigrants. (Not southern hillbillies from north of ‘lanner Jawja )

Try some – thank me later.

Or what about “by and large” ? Who started that?

Cats and Dogs video is at
http://www.hotforwords.com/2007/12/30/cats-and-dogs

Well as you said Its name derives from the Dutch word koekje or 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.

Can I request the word asfalt.

ooohhh, ok. Thanks :grin:

I was wondering about the word “booger” and if it has any relation to the word “bogey” like “bogeyman?” I would think that they are because they are both pretty nasty things.

The French word vasistas was first used in 1784. It does indeed come from the German, was ist das?

Panda, do you know kung fu?

Mon nez coule. Je vais me MOUCHER.

Freeloaders bitch the loudest of all. and want to be paid first.

I’m not too sure about this video, Marina. Your face is overexposed, and your bosom is underexposed (except for the teacher’s pet segment, which double compensates.) Now that I’ve got that off my chest, I’ll get back in touch with my intellect….

Your recent videos are definitely food for thought.

I was wondering why a vertical four-sided figure is called a “diamond,” when the gemstone never comes in that shape. Since they’re a girl’s best friend, maybe you know.

Teacher can’t call on you, She will look like She was playing favorites because of your name..like calling on Herself..? Lots of fragile egos.

thought Floccinaucinihilipilificationism is? teach did this one.

And if you were chosen for Teacher’s Pet, wouldn’t you suffer something akin to postpartum depression afterwards? Never mind. I guess we’re all ready to suffer…..

I’m more interested in zombie cultures.

Can you help me to check on the word “deplorable”

I thought it was disestablishmentarianism. Anyway, I believe she did a video on that one. I do think, though, that your word rings more human…

Or even jimmy swagger, for that matter.

I heard that when King Arthur was away from the castle, his knights liked to turn the tables.

…for pennsyltucky9…
Holy smoke, Batman! You failed the smog test!

Stupid ist as stupid das.

I don’t know anyone else that makes a living like her.

In French, pleurer means to cry.

So how about the expression: one smart cookie! Wonder how that came about?

The funniest story I heard about it is that this very french item was unknonw in Germany. And one day a german guy on a trip to Pigalle saw the thing and said (loudly) “What the heck!!!” :shock: (in german).
So what’s french not german? Qu’est ce que c’est?

That’s the spirit!!!
See what Americans did to your biscuits:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardtack
And after spoiling the biscuit they want to replace the word itself by a so-called “cookie”.
Resist boy!!!

Thanks, killabar.

I wasn’t EVEN gonna wade into that conversation… After triple entendre I draw the line!

This is an very old story:
http://www.cannabisculture.com/magazine/cc11/christ.html

Antidisestablishmentarianism. See the Lessons page.

Just waxin’ prosaic there boys. I drive a used Corolla. My other car is a canoe.

Edgar Varese did some experimentation in turning tables.But the phrase “turn the tables” date to the ancients DJ’s. Grand Wizard Theodore is said to be the first in succesfully inovating the holy grail in turning tables: the scratch. But it is unsure maybe it was Grand Mixer DXT. Keep working on the tables bro.

This expression each time you want to consult the spirits. For example when grandpa forget to tell you where he put the money before dying, you call a couple of mediums of your friends and say “let’s turn the tables”. The exact origin of the phrase is unknown as the initial experimentations where unsuccesfull the experience was rare occasional. It is only with Alain Kardec and the invention of the “gueridon” (basically a smaller table) that suddenly from Paris to Brazil it become common to turn the table.

In fact, that is the natural shape of a diamond crystal.

Don’t take the pet, despite your pet peeve keep the good job, don’t peter out.

Marina I would like to request a series of phrases
1. “Ballpark Figure”
2. “Happy Hour”-is it an hour when most people are happy or what?
3.This one I read in an article it’s “Nudiustertian” I thought it was funny is it like a nude religion…?
4. “Agliff”
5. “Houghmandy” and how it’s related to someone promiscuous.

Well these are my suggestions for words and phrases you might like to do. :smile:

Yes and pleurer comes from “pluit” the rain, all from latin.
“Il pleure dans mon coeur
Comme il pleut sur la ville
Quelle est cette langueur
Qui pénètre mon coeur ?”
Verlaine

I’m sorry i was mean to you and said bad things because i didn’t like your advertising videos but now i kinda miss your videos popping up at my subscription list and i realised that you were like a part of my everyday routine at work. So it would be very kind of you if you unblocked me otherwise i’ll have to make a new account.. thanks :roll:

Congratulations!

Hell, as long as the bar’s open, make that a Stoli straight up with a Rolling Rock chaser. Nazdorovye! :cool:

that is the heart of a true student… :wink:

Then I’d make you one..

i’m gonna cooke some cookies :roll:

Nudiustertian is from the Latin phrase, “three days earlier”.

i want to request the word cannabis as one of the words you use next.

I vote for mango, or, maybe, guave depending on the day. Then there is also unfiltered apple–a very juicy juice (also fun to say).

Trying to find ‘not made from concentrate’ in the U.S. is hard but can be done; otherwise, it’s like trying to blow up a balloon all over again and the poor juice gets tired.

Wikipedia has it worked out for ya…

don’t inhale… :!:

too late i inhailed and now i cant learn anything without an angel such as marina telling me the info….. :smile:

You are unblocked. I typically don’t block people, but I noticed you were blocked, so I unblocked you :-)

I would like to know the origin of the word “Photography” for one of my good friends who is 22, he is a big photographer.

For some reason I just got the munchies. :shock:

The best cowboy ever to ride a horse John Wayne had a great swagger. :cool:

I would like to apply for that honor. :smile:

You need one of the round plastic balls that they put you in so you can wonder around the house. Hammie has one and the cats bat him all over the place but can’t get to him.

hey marina HotForWords I´d like to know the origin of the word “fuck”. :?:
I´d like to know the meaning from this word.
gretings!! :mrgreen:
bye.

What is the origin of one of my favorite words: brouhaha?

Thank you. It took a great deal of planning to get the timing just perfect.

Contact altitude, dude.

this is a very good explanation and why don’t we call that crap CRUMBS not cookies???

well, Rolling Rock is okay…a bit watered-down for my taste, though…

oh, and…

“Marina’s beauty could float a fleet of battleships.”…Rule 16.54 subsection Bathing suits and other watersport dreams in The Marina Sychophant Handbook… :cool:

That’s not it guys. Look at it from her perspective. She just moved to a new country. She’s selecting material of interest to Marina and Marina alone, and presenting it in a format that she designs and controls. Her door to the world, linguistics and philology, allow her an excellent viewpoint from which to examine the subtleties of those aspects of cultural variety about which she is curious, using her blog as a device to enhance and accelerate cultural and intercultural comparison discourse. It’s brilliant, really.

So what is a hampster okay4now, is it a hamster that has drunk too much that is dying to get rid of a pee ?

Why not get a cow to drink Mango juice and then put it on one of those vibrating strap machines that help you lose weight. Milk the cow and hey presto voila…….Milk Shake

Do you mean asphalt? yeah. it’s a hip disease! :smile:

Already done. Go to lessons on this website.

I’m gonna smoke some cookies

found this on the web…

Collective nouns for animals are notoriously arbitrary, Gabi. We have flocks of sheep, herds of cattle, gaggles of geese, and tintinnabulations of starlings.

Both flock and herd come from earlier words meaning ‘group’, flock from early German, and herd (presumably) all the way from Indo-European.

Rather odd in this particular instance, since flocks of sheep are supervised by shepherds (‘sheep-herders’)!

Other sites seemed to indicate that you could use herd or flock interchangeably for cattle…

IMO, sheep are probably thought of as flocking because they are notorious for gathering together so closely – like a flock of birds…

Now THAT sounds like a fun place to be.

I think he should repeat this on youtube, So like all the rest of the free loading ( I what it for free ) I don’t care that you sent all your time making these videos for ME, And all you ask, is watch My videos. NO………….!!!!!! I must bitch………..S.O.B. The Hounds of HELL are on you….. :twisted: :arrow: :roll: ok I feel better now

So what is wrong with saying 2HFWFC ?
As long as I know who I am I don’t care.

Never mind. Next time the opportunity to be first I will rattle Tig’s cage.

i guess i should have posted the reason “gabi” questioned the “flock” thing herself…seems she missed an Elementary English question ’cause she answered “sheep” to “The flock of ____ stayed together.” and the program said the correct answer was “cow”.

You can see it here >> http://www.english-test.net/forum/ftopic10160.html

He rattled my cage and didn’t move his lips.
Is it time to do the homework answer ?
Why not use his real name Markie Warkie if you don’t like 2HFWFC ??

Great video as always. I have a word request. Can you tell the origin of the phrase “cold feet”, as in to change your mind about doing something at the last moment. I get cold feet a lot so I was wondering where the phrase comes from haha.

You look wheely pissed off 2HFWFC.
It wasn’t me that burst your bubble Markie

The word photography comes from the French photographie which is based on the Greek φώς (phos) light + γραφίς (graphis) stylus,paintbrush or γραφή (graphê) representation by means of lines or drawing, together meaning drawing with light.Traditionally, the product of photography has been called a photograph, commonly shortened to photo

sorry for my english

You suffer. Now Markie has a finger puppet and my arse hurts

Appreciate what ? Hamster shit on my finger for the next few weeks ?
It smells.

u must have a tiny finger…i hope that’s not indicative of anything… :shock:

“appreciate” that Teacher even exists, dabnabit, and quit ur whinin’…

Teacher’s pet likes cheese, not whine… :twisted:

I spent a night in the pokey in the Great Smokies.

Mine sure is cracked…

Man this word never goes away does it TTV :?:

Very positive lessons, make me looking forward to hearing a new lesson, despite my old age :smile:

I agree with you roadrunmch on your comment about hurting Marina feelings on utube. She has feelings too. She’s a friend, sister,
daughter and a comrad so we look after her. :wink:

Mike

Whoops……guess I should’ve checked the list under “R” rather than “C”…

Woof, woof….

By the way are you and the group ok now (2HFWFC). Sounds like how I felt a week or so ago. Little butt still sore. Everyone has to vent every now and again. But the group stills sticks together. :grin:
Mike

Ever smoked a ham or smoked a sausage or smoked Lox. :twisted:

Done with the yard Tiger and like you said back ache. But good ole percocets. No hope withot dope. :wink:

Marina a quick question. Are you still doing the ring tones? :wink:

That was a good one about the John Wayne come back. He was a litttle portly in his older movies. :lol:

You can’t never be to old to learn from Marina. Look I have this pain in my, no just kidding welcome aboard. :smile:

Mike

Hmmm… Foul Ball! I think 1 and 3 are saying the same thing and are both correct. Granted 1 is in English and 3 is in Dutch but doesn’t the Dutch word that means “little cake” also come from the Dutch word for “to cook?” Also, isn’t it likely that the English word “cook” comes from the same ancient word as the Dutch word for “cook?” Even the diminutive “ie” is given an equivalent in the Dutch word making it mean “little cake.” :?:

Note the quotation marks, sorry for the cut and paste I was having a hard time putting it in my own words…….

Hello Marina! :smile:
How are you? I just signed up here, and hope you don’t find this request worthy of detention, but…
Where did the word “Puss” originate, and how does that relate to these other words? “Pussy Cat”, “Pussy Willow”, and “Pussyfoot”. What is the common denominator with the root of this word “puss”, or “pussy”?
I understand if you cannot reply publicly about the slang version of this, but if you have the time, I would like to know about the slang version after class. :wink:

Don’t tell me you’re (dark heavy organ chords here) over 20 (surprise music here)!!! OMG!

hahaha…that was good, 2HFWFC…

based, of course, on the beer commercial classic… :cool:

Hi Mike,

Nope, biscuits are definitely not in my diet, sorry. No cookies, no chips, no candy, no (sniffle) pizza. Arrgh. But on the positive side, I know how it feels to live forever, though. It’s definitely been forever since I had an Orange Julius. Case closed.

French roast?

Those wacky English! :grin:

A computer cookie was names after the fortune cookie. It stores information about pages viewed on a website as well as some personal information you enter.

Don’t feel bad my friend I’ve never had an Orange Julius. I don’t think we have one her in Fayetteville. Could be wrong through. :)

Not the franchise, the recipe. Anyone can make one, but it’s off limits for me. Unless I want to give up beer.

sweet, it was number 3 :)

Oh, last night I was at a Red Rooster place (Like KFC), and I heard timbaland’s – The Way I are, and I couldn’t help thinking of the “Bad Grammar” song :lol:

Don’t forget the famous novelty ice cream cake known as Cookie Puss. It’s a slightly better segueway given the current lesson. :idea:

I’d like to know more about the word Meridian because I moved here a while ago and I think it the word has an interesting sound.

Blue…Blue?…blue :arrow: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fGsdmatheSk :!:

Tig Vicious and the Water Pistols are fine thank you

We just went out for a for a four hour dance,….now I am dizzy Markie Warkie (2HFWFC) is learning to dance as a lady so I get spun a lot in his pocket.

What do you mean sorry for your English. It is better than ours !
But I bet you can’t speak hamsterian though.

The answer to the computer “cookie” has already been posted , rats.

Btw, did not get mail in regards to the answer, I had to visit your site. What happened?

As Johnny on WKRP once said, He said BOOGER :shock:

And here I thought the Dutch were just known for their space cake. :mrgreen:

Our trusty teacher is looking pretty tasty and refreshing herself in this video. :cool: Interesting juice concoction you got going there, Marina. Your health is your wealth, as they say, so it’s nice to see you are taking good care of yourself with diet and exercise. No, really, it’s quite nice to see how well you are taking care of yourself and staying in shape. Quite nice indeed. :twisted: Oh ya, and your makeup has really been awesome and colorful lately. Great read on the intro lines to this lesson. HotForWords just keeps on getting better and better! :grin: Keep up the good work with the games and lessons, Ms. Orlova. Peace, Errin : )

p.s. I believe “I’m going to make myself juice” is the better grammar, but “I’m going to make me juice” works fine. Either way, very cute segment, like a free cookie for those who played this game. :razz:

That was cute Pagedoll. :cool:

errin, I agree the makeup is good, but the less makeup the better for this kid. BTW, how was you’re friends gig? I would have come but just didn’t feel like driving for three hours each way. :shock: I checked out her site though, pretty good, pretty good indeed :grin: To bad (for me) theres no dates in San Diego :cry:

Hey Marina, how r u? i just wanted to request a word.
I wannted to know about the phrase ‘Bless you’ as in when you sneeze and someone around you says it.
please do this word! thatnks a lot, and keep up the great work! :D

Far out man

Hey dude ……….course ya got da munchies
I is tinkin dat bitch is a real tasty man.

Oooops I didn’t mean she is a man. I mean blow away the ‘a’ man.

She’s really tasty man. Even give a non Rasta the munchies.

Hey give me some space cookies any day. Give me room for them

Far out ?
How many light years ? :roll: :lol:

Space cookies my favourite

Yeah, T.-the-V. :oops: we should most likely both drop the “pee”.

Oh booger it ! I don’t know this word man

Hey man you crack me up

Really, this word is requested sometimes 2 or 3 times a lesson. So dude, maybe you ought to just go and look-up fuck yourself. :neutral:

Hey cool dude man

Hey I don’t consult the spirits man, I don’t even like beer , I listen to the vibes from the green natural stuff man

Hey Jesus welcome to da brotherhood man.
Get a tonk on this reefer man. :lol:

Howabout Pencilcasefukkie69 is I a bit ride there ?

Me meant to say was that a bit rude.
Is me allowed to say dat man ?

Hey man I’ll order what ever you are eating

It makes a noise

And he dropped the pee on my shoulder. I have a wet patch.. Just near Gromit’s hand

Stick the cow on a Siberian train. That’ll mix the cocktail….

Spam advertising a sex change ?

Say what you mean.

Hey man did someone just call me ?

well, just tell ‘im, “piss-off”… :mrgreen:

Hey the tip’s the best bit to smoke man. Give me the tip bud

glad to see that at least one person besides buzzword on here is able to distinguish (between?) linguistics and philology. though she seems to be more of a philologist, huh?

Hey man I dance to Bob Marley man.

shouldn’t that be “piss on”?

Hard to tell without an overview of published works. As far as I can see, she defies description pretty much on general principle.

Never take a pee, for it is more blessed to give than to receive.

:smile:ny of you ever look back to the first of these videos? She is losing Her accent. :neutral: Much more confident in Her diction. Mannerisms smooth as glass. But look for your selfs.

Aimee’s in-store gig went great. I unfortunately caught it a little late due to traffic, but only missed a couple songs. It was a small set of six songs, so it would indeed not have been worth going all that way, unless you wanted to get her autograph in the line after the show, or were really into her music. Thing is, the store she played at, Amoeba Records, had a live stream webcast of the show which may still be online for watching. I’ll see if I can find it and provide a link, as I wouldn’t mind watching it online if it’s there.

You should check out Aimee’s latest CD, @#%&*! Smilers, as it is a truly excellent album, her best so far in my opinion. My compliments to your choice in music. :grin: :smile:

Password?

That’s NO way to talk about Marina, 2hotforwordsfanclub.
Into the hamster’s cage with you. :lol:
The Cyber-ian train now leaving Hamster Junction is the Marina Express to Success.
Anyway, don’t Siberian trains have things on the front to catch their own cows?

People use this word to descirbe me (& i’m sure tons of other girls hear it as well, including you) a lot: BABE
Care to check it out for me? Thanks!!!!!

But the whole point of Marina’s work is to teach you the words so you can learn to string them together to communicate ideas.
Make an effort; Stoker, More steam. :smile:

So was the Blue Baby-doll nighty.

It was successful translation.I do not know english language as well as Marina therefore I translate with the dictionary.In russian the sense and beauty of a phrase depends on a word order in the offer, it means that not changing words it is possible to change sense, it is difficult for translating. Here also I apologize for my english

Marina, errin has used an interesting word in his post below, namely “segueway”.
Do you accept this as a valid word or do you, like me, find it a redundant usage?
My point is that the first part, “segue”, stands on its own as the meaning of “segueway” and is pronounced “seg-way”, so if you use “segueway” you are actually saying “seg-way-way”.
I find this a bit way out. :lol:

The following passage could be a large part of the reason why men call attractive females “Babe” or “Baby” (or “Baby Girl” as in the “Bad Grammar” video):-

An explanation for our attraction to “beautiful” people is that the traits we find beautiful are linked to successful reproduction (the evolutionary argument). If so, we would expect people all over the world to share universal ideals of beauty – which appears to be the case. Cunningham (1986) asked men to rate photographs of women; high ratings of physical attractiveness were associated with distinctive features: large eyes, a small nose and chin, prominent cheekbones, high eyebrows and a big smile. Similar traits are rated as attractive by different cultural groups (Langlois and Roggman, 1990).
The reason for universal agreement may not, however, be because such features indicate fertility – they are also associated with a “baby face”; a high forehead, big eyes and a small nose and chin. Adults may well have evolved a preference for “baby” features because this ensures that we care for our young, and for this reason such features elicit feelings of attraction.

I want to request the word poker

Maia Marina,
Contradictory answer you’ve given here to the word cook not having anything to do with little cake. Your words say one thing but you give a yes nod with your head at the same time.

New Word Requests: hoecake, maize, corn. milo, hoe , blackstrap molasses

Here is an article which might interest your intellect: http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/Two+Fat+Ladies

DOROGOMYLAYA MARINA,konechno eto pravil’no,ya sovsem ne hochu osporit’ dovody svoego liubymogo prepodovatelya! :grin: no pover’ mne: the Dutch word ”koekje” acquired by the American English was originated by the old French word ”COCAIGNE” which certainly derives from the Latin verb -COQUERE-…anyway i don’t want to be so boring! kstati..Marina, your own personal motto is -MENS SANA IN CORPORE SEXY- isn’t it? :smile:

Another word request: Enfranchisement

I request The Word WAR
Like is that an Abbreviation for something…

on a side note, why is abbreviation such a long word!!!

The word has about 6 origins all similar from 6 different countries, but the word is so ancient it is impossible to verify which one came first.
See my comments below on this word.

On the same note why is “long” such a short word ?

My angry legs are crossed

You know that I wouldn’t refer to our petal in such away.

I was referring to a Mango eating cow

Hey man that’s a waste of a good reefer giving it to a Mango eating cow.

Marina,
Love your stuff. Not really a word request, just thought I’d tell you about a little game we used to play back in school called “Fictionary Dictionary”. Get a group of at least 6 people. One person leads each round. The leader looks through a dictionary for a word they don’t know. When they do, they ask the group if anyone knows it. If someone does, they keep looking until they find one that nobody knows.

When they find a word that is a complete mystery for everyone, the leader writes out the definition on a piece of paper. Everyone else makes up and writes their own definition on separate pieces of paper. The leader collects them, mixes them up and then reads each one to the group. Then everyone chooses which definition they think is the real one.

The leader gets 10 points for each person who doesn’t choose the real definition and other people get 10 points for choosing the correct definition. For each peson who chooses a made up definition, that author gets 5 points.

Continue until everyone has had a chance to be the leader. The winner is the person with the most points at the end of the circuit.

mata, ne.

Marina, I hope you aren’t going to let your site devolve into some juvenile, wise cracking, wannabe pot head site. You’re too classy a lady to be promoting illegal activities.

i want to know the origin of the word “cd”.. why a cd was called cd? what ws the origin of the word cd ? Marina plz help me….. :roll

I tried that juice combo… which I would have never thought of before. It’s a little strange but I think I like it!

i’m a lil’ strange and sometimes people like me, too… :shock:

‘er…Compact Disc?…or Certificate of Deposit…

or, as i’ve sometimes heard, Certifiable Dumbarse… :roll:

that’s a rude thing to do…just nudge ‘er… :mrgreen:

Space Ghost always smoked the bad guys… :twisted:

Now, Now, annuddermale,
Cool Down. :grin:

it’s not asphalt…it’s pennslltucky9′s fault…

oh, now maybe it is asphault…entirely mine, ‘course… :lol:

Segue more complicated than it needs to be, eh?

I also wondered why kitchen and cook wouldn’t stem from the same Germanic root (Kuche, Koch) as the Dutch. Dutch language derives largely from das Deutsch, hence the similarity between the words “Dutch” and “Deutsch” unless I’m missing a major puzzle piece somewhere (which is well possible).

Seen.

Your English is understandable, suvorovevgeniy. There is no need to apologize. It is interesting that in Russian, the meaning of a sentence may be changed by rearranging the same words. This is also true in English in many cases, and the arrangement of the words can also greatly affect whether we perceive it to be beautiful poetry or mere information. It is good to hear from you. Thanks for joining us.

Hi robroy87801,

This is a participation-oriented forum. If you don’t visit the site, you won’t know the outcome of the game. No one gets mail regarding the answers, but she does notify us when someone responds to our personal comments or when a new video posts. But the biggest loss if you don’t actively participate is that we lose your input.

So what do you think? Make some comments on what you read here, or on the video post. Give Marina a few word suggestions for her next videos.

See you around the campus.

Marina how about the word eavesdrop. t doesn’t have anything to do with the eave of a house or the night before which is spelled eve. :?:

Kefir also is marketed on the West Coast USA and is offered in various fruit flavors, usually in quart containers just like milk.

Have you figured it out by now? All I can think of is something havineg to do with food :???:

Hey I’ve seen you somewhere before :!:

On sexual evolution the “utilitarian” theory is not a stand-alone theory. If sexual evolution interresses you you can look here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ni7F-9OeH_s
And play with this game:
http://www.swimbots.com/
Then about human evolution it is to notice something strange: in almost every species it is the male who tries to seduce by showing off (colours, strength, peacock feathers, horns etc etc…) while human females are the ones who spend more time trying to diferenciate one another (make-up, high heels, wonder-bras, outfits etc ….).
This is an indication that beside the biological sexual evolution, the cultural gender role gameplay is at work.

Hmmmm. Are you sure it doesn’t have anything to do with eaves of a house? What if someone up on the roof were to hang (or drop, as it were) their head down from the eaves outside an open window at night in order to overhear a conversation going on in an upstairs room? Just a guess. Of course, I’d rather speculate about it than actually look up the origin myself… It’s my day off.

When I do it the blood rushes to my head and I get dizzy.

roadrunmch that’s cool… every time you leave HotForWords.com you are suppose to feel better. :wink: [the hounds of hell part made me laugh :mrgreen: ]

thankx :grin:

So is that when you’d drop from the eaves into the alligator-filled moat below? I’m starting to see a word origin: it’s “drop-down menu.”

What the flock…?

There you go. You’r not really off duty. :razz:

HTTP cookies, or more commonly referred to as Web cookies, tracking cookies or just cookies, are parcels of text sent by a server to a web client (usually a browser) and then sent back unchanged by the client each time it accesses that server. HTTP cookies are used for authenticating, session tracking (state maintenance), and maintaining specific information about users, such as site preferences or the contents of their electronic shopping carts. The term “cookie” is derived from “magic cookie,” a well-known concept in UNIX computing which inspired both the idea and the name of HTTP cookies.

Cookies have been of concern for Internet privacy, since they can be used for tracking browsing behavior. As a result, they have been subject to legislation in various countries such as the United States and in the European Union. Cookies have also been criticized because the identification of users they provide is not always accurate and because they could potentially be a target of network attackers. Some alternatives to cookies exist, but each has its own uses, advantages and drawbacks.

Cookies are also subject to a number of misconceptions, mostly based on the erroneous notion that they are computer programs. In fact, cookies are simple pieces of data unable to perform any operation by themselves. In particular, they are neither spyware nor viruses, despite the detection of cookies from certain sites by many anti-spyware products.

Most modern browsers allow users to decide whether to accept cookies, but rejection makes some websites unusable. For example, shopping carts implemented using cookies do not work if cookies are rejected
lol see ya

:lol: Buy Evidance eliminater to get rid of cookies

an eavesdrop was the area around a house under the eaves that had to be kept clear for rain to drop so to hear what someone was saying in the house they hung around the eavesdrop to listen.

Funny Hahn’s ads! Thanks, micheldiego.

Sounds like a sound idea :smile:

So much for my wild-ass-guess… the imagery of Capman911 dangling his fishbowl-covered noggin from the roof is fast fading. :lol: Fun while it lasted, though! Good-on-ya, peridotite magma! Stick around.

Pyback is hell my friend. :lol: :lol:

I can’t even spell pay I was laughing so hard. :lol: :lol:

so what do you mean? :!:

I guess I meant to be clever & a little offensive at the same time. :sad:

No video? What happened?

Never on a Sunday, Prophet. :grin:

Forget it. It was just a freudian typo, that’s all. He didn’t mean it.

He’s right in a way. This is an easy one to look up. Plus, I think she covered it already in one of her Maxim Radio shows, if I’m not mistaken. Correct me if I’m wrong, guys?

A “cookie” is a text-only string that gets entered into the memory of a browser.

According to an article written by Paul Bonner for Builder.Com on 11/18/1997: “Lou Montulli, currently the protocols manager in Netscape’s client product division, wrote the cookies specification for Navigator 1.0, the first browser to use the technology. Montulli says there’s nothing particularly amusing about the origin of the name: ‘A cookie is a well-known computer science term that is used when describing an opaque piece of data held by an intermediary. The term fits the usage precisely; it’s just not a well-known term outside of computer science circles.’”

He got the term from the term “magic cookies” used by Unix programmers.

However, some people may believe that each individual person may define the word “cookie” differently, and no definition is correct or incorrect, except in the mind of the person defining it. I say, “may believe” since it is impossible to know one way or the other.

Everyone is correct, aLx.

:grin:

aLx, it’s just a different structure.

:grin: :grin:

A friend of mine saw this lesson and commented that the second half of the video seems like Marina’s take on internet dating, or at least hanging out with her student body. Such an intersting dynamic going on here at HotForWords.com. Reminds me of the song ‘Personal Jesus’ by Depeche Mode, only with a internet tilt…

Reach out touch faith

Your own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who cares
Your own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who’s there

Feeling unknown
And you’re all alone
Flesh and bone
By the telephone
Lift up the receiver
I’ll make you a believer

Take second best
Put me to the test
Things on your chest
You need to confess
I will deliver
You know I’m a forgiver

Reach out touch faith
Reach out touch faith

I will deliver
You know I’m a forgiver

Reach out touch faith

Your own personal Jesus

Reach out touch faith

Peace, Errin : )

And, on the flip side, the lyrics to a different Depeche Mode song called ‘Dream On’…

Can you feel a little love?

As your bony fingers close around me
Long and spindly
Death becomes me
Heaven can you see what I see

Hey you pale and sickly child
You’re death and living reconciled
Been walking home a crooked mile

Paying debt to karma
You party for a living
What you take won’t kill you
But careful what you’re giving

There’s no time for hesitating
Pain is ready, pain is waiting
Primed to do it’s educating

Unwanted, uninvited kin
It creeps beneath your crawling skin
It lives without it lives within you

Feel the fever coming
You’re shaking and twitching
You can scratch all over
But that won’t stop you itching

Can you feel a little love?
Can you feel a little love?

Dream on dream on

Blame it on your karmic curse
Oh shame upon the universe
It knows its lines
It’s well rehearsed

It sucked you in, it dragged you down
To where there is no hallow ground
Where holiness is never found

Paying debt to karma
You party for a living
What you take won’t kill you
But careful what you’re giving

Can you feel a little love?
Can you feel a little love?

Dream on dream on

Can you feel a little love?
Can you feel a little love?

Dream on dream on
Dream on dream on

Peace, Errin : )

hi there.
just curious about word ”Tort.”
appreciate if you could get background meaning of it.

cheers

Errin could you please explain a little more on what you wrote. I didn’t quite get what you were try to get across. Sorry I am a little slow at these things. :neutral:
Mike

it’s the beer… :wink:

HIc, could be. It’s 102 here today so we have to stay hydrated some how. :cool:

‘er…hate to break the sad news to ya, but beer dehydrates ya, not hydrates ya…

not that that’s ever stopped me, either… :mrgreen:

So we drink more to try and keep up. Never ending cycle. but a good one. :twisted:

exactly…Never On A Sunday… :!:

Please be careful not to drop your eaves.

It’s all relative.

I wear suspenders :lol:

My psychic powers will let me guess the next word Marina will discuss in a video….

…… let me think hard on this one… hmmmm….

I think it’s going to be drug -related… yes… I’m getting something….

Could it be… “cocaine?”

Hmmm…. let’s see if my psychic powers work!

Yep….I’m sure… I consulted the stars, the tarot cards, and the entrails of a sparrow, and they all point to the same thing – the next word will be “cocaine.”

Bets?

Did you know that atheists only form non-prophet organizations?

My eaves need a little more support than just suspenders. Supported but free, you know?

Civil Defense?

Community Development?

The chemical symbol for cadmium?

Congressional District?

Compact Disk

cd is also the abbreviation for “candela” meaning “a unit of luminous intensity equal to 1/60 of the luminous intensity per square centimeter of a blackbody radiating at the temperature of solidification of platinum (2,046°K). Also called candle.”

Or, do you mean the French corps diplomatique?

Oops. Apparently both “disc” and “disk” are correct.

disc or disk?…a cultivator uses a disk, but a disc jockey shuffles platters, or discs…

all i will say is tsk-tsc!… :lol:

???

Response to Tort. Tort is a claim to an injustice or intentional injury caused by the courts or government employees etc. It is a claim of wrong doing by the government. It is a body of law that creates remedy for, civil wrongs. A person who is legal injured may find remedy through a TORT.

You left out the American usage of cookie back in the 50′s. Cookie was use as a compliment to a cute girl or good looking girl, used as in. Hey there cookie, or heres look’in at you cookie, used as in a come on. Ya get my meaning cookie.

Exactamundo.

Anything to do with Schwartzwaldkirschetort? (Black Forest Cake)
Better than any cookies.

Bets?
Is that the name of your GF?
Anyway, I know how you did that.

A lot of people like to delete their cookies thinking it makes them safer. Perhaps it does, marginally, but the biggest impact is you lose your session on sites. As an example, if I delete my cookies, I have to log back in to this site every time I visit, if I don’t, I remain logged in as long as WordPress allows. I’d rather have the convenience of cookies than some pre-Netscape 4 rational behind cookie security.

I goofed. I was trying out some of the html code and didn’t put something in right. :oops:

And I thought I was the only one that stayed logged in all the time. :cool:

How did you know?

I could tell you, Warren, but then I’d have to kill you.

Besides, these supreme mental powers that I have at my disposal are not safe in the hands of mere mortals. I am only now attempting to harness this power, and use it for good.

Funny!
But I think I’ve found out your secret.
It has something to do with a Tin Foil Cap.

This is a good one.

As we all know, the Germans have long had a habit of, well, invading Paris, crushing the gov’t under their jackbooted heels & then, uh…chilling out and basically behaving like reasonably well-mannered (albeit heavily armed) tourists. Now, the way the story goes, German occupation forces were perplexed by the little windowed half-doors French shop-keepers favored. Ergo, they would look at each other & say, “Vas is dad?” So frequently did the Germans occupy France that “vasisdas” was eventually added to the French lexicon to describe these funny little half-doors. I might be off on one or too small details but this is the gist of it.

my opinion, marina is more philologist. and prospero811, he’s a white night riding a dead horse. put the argument to rest prospero811 it is starting to rot.

Good point birchbeertree. Think I’m gonna have to start using that. Though I think that could be attributed to a whole phase that spawned phrases like cutie/sugar pie, honeybun, cupcake etc etc. HFW and HFP are my sweet cheeks “slap”

random lesson….I was asking somebody who is an old school geek about cookies and he said “its a tracking devise” and more, but not desert…from The Philosophy of Schopenhauer—-THE METAPHYSICS OF THE LOVE OF THE SEXES “Ye wise men, highly, deeply learned, Who think it out and know, How, when, and where do all things pair? Why do they kiss and love? Ye men of lofty wisdom, say What happened to me then; Search out and tell me where, how, when, And why it happened thus” ___Burger

I discovered about this today, I love it :D

But, for this one..

Did you know the dutch ‘koekje’ comes from ‘kaakje’ which means basically the same.. and as far as I know.. ‘kaakje’ comes from ‘cake’

Also, I wouldn’t translate ‘koekje’ as ‘little cake’… basically because you can just translate it as.. (little) cookie

I try the jus and it’s realy good and tasty!But for the homework I didn’t find any answer can you please help me Marina?
