A most famous brand-name origin

Pepsi has less carbonation and more sugar.

Does that make Pepsi “lower carb?” :lol:

I would like your dissertation on the meaning of “Republic”.

There are an extra 30 seconds at the end of the clip, that are blank.
Quick fix?

May he rest in peace…

I think HotForWords will be the next biggest ‘brand name’.. :mrgreen:

haha.. We can only hope temerc.. :grin:

That’s actually a hidden message in which Marina professes her love for me… :lol: :razz: , but you need to raise the monitor up at a 45 degree angle and use a red light filter to read it. :wink:

So that’s what that is… funny how that works.
Thanks for revealing the secret. :cool:

You have to remember that raw coca leaves have almost no negative effects like the processed drug. In peru the leaves are used by locals as sort of a cure all for things like headaches and altitude sickness.

By the way, I love you.

Let me be the first to say, that new hair style looks AMAZING on you !!! It frames that cute face so well! Let me tell you, a better choice could not have been made. :grin: I’m like freaking out right now because of the new style :shock: …the shirt, the hair OhMyGoodness!..Alright, I need to calm down . breath pagedoll, breath :eek:

Did you go to Jonathan for that cut? It kind of looks like his handy work. :smile:

idk, i know nothing about soda. i just know that it’s tastey. :mrgreen:

Pepsi has more sugar and less carbonation whereas Coke is more into bubbles and not so much into sugar.
Imo, the biggest difference is in the after taste.
But really, no one can tell 10 out 10 times which glass has what in it.
To some people both Pepsi and Coke will just be “the black fizzy stuff”.

Chemikal

I tried smoking Coke once,it bubbled and steamed then left burnt sugar in the pipe.I don’t recommend it :roll:

Back in the early 90s My GFs Father was an antique Dealer,He had an Old West era dentists cabinet that You could smell the spilled Cocaine and other painkillers wich had soaked-in during years of use,that’s what He said anyway :smile:

hmmm…my hair takes ’bout five minutes to cut…three if the barber shuts up & does the job… :smile:

yes, it reads, “i must have annudder…must have annudder.”…

kinda hypnotic, don’t ‘cha think?… :shock:

the difference is that Coke rocks and Pepsi sucks…

but i’m just south of Atlanta, and might be a lil’ biased… :wink:

sugar is a carbohydrate, so…no.

What the!? I don’t remember that one! :cool:

Agreed,rest in peace Johnny.

I saw a t-shirt Marina will NEVER wear
http://www.capricecrane.com/images/tshirt1.jpg
remember when Coke marketed that
New Coke that everybody hated?
Now it’s back as Classic Coke….?
sometimes change is not needed,
but it took the smartest guys in the
room to miss the mark completely!

cocomments…lesson, please!

coke has more lime, too!
(must be the sprite in me)

That’s as far as beverages go. But another cool difference is in their marketing strategy. Some of you might know that Pepsi was the first brand to promote their product using TV stars. They have an impressive list so far. Maybe you remember this commercial : http://youtube.com/watch?v=tubRtXzD_EU
Ok.. I like Pepsi.. but sometimes, I just want a Coke. I guess in my mind, I’m preserving diversity. Not really.

nice job blue eyes

I don’t do cocaine or any bad drugs including steroids. Now between coke and pepsi I like them both but I do not know which I like better. I love wild cheery coke and wild cherry pepsi.

hey hot for words i would like to know the origin of the word “fan” as in what you use to cool your self off in the summer and if it has a relationship with the word “fan” as in like i am a fan of your show………my Birthday is tomorrow so can you say my name which is MAX….lol…and just one more thing cause i think its very serious..can you speak on your view or hint at the topic of net nuetrality . plese and trhank you

Interesting lesson. The other day i was watching House MD and there’s a lot of interesting words on that show I wanna request but there was one it really drew my attention, so I wanna request the word: HOSPITAL.

lol…i so wanted this to be Frank Sinatra’s version of I Get a Kick Out of You, which references cocaine…and so fits…

But Sinatra’s version is changed to remove the Nat King Cole’s drug reference…

The sentiment fits this site, tho’…especially the lines:

I get a kick every time I see you
Standing there before me.
I get a kick though it’s clear to see
You obviously do not adore me.

which make it, of course, Theme Music from The Marina Sychophant Handbook

:twisted: The differance betwen pepsi and coke is pepsi is from Michigan verse calaforina witch is fallin to peaces!

:mrgreen: Glass bottles of pepsi are da fin bomb yo strate from mexio

really cool video :mrgreen:
youre great marina
ok i want to request something
FOOTBALL is how british people call SOCCER
but why americans call it SOCCER

Your product placement makes me chuckle, but I don’t mind, you do it well :mrgreen:

I’m always down for a little Johnny Cash. Thanks prospero811 :grin:

So what your point? Forgive me, but I’m just not getting it.

hello Marina, is [f u c k] really a ‘bad word’? and why do people use it for war of the words? :evil:

Really, thart word is an acronym
In the old England, when people wanted to got childrens they have to pay permission to the king. So they went to king and he gave them a sign written “FUCK” which they must place in their house door.
This word ment “F. ornication U. nder C. onsentiment K. ing” (FUCK)
SO it’s an acronym my buddy

Dear teacher,
Pepsi and Cola are slightly diferent. A Mentos can tell the diference and this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKoB0MHVBvM&feature=related
Is much more sucessfull with cike (diet) than with pepsi.
Nevertheless it is dificult for a human being to tell the difference.
In 2004 Dr Montague of Houston published this:
http://www.hnl.bcm.tmc.edu/articles/Read/McClureLi2004.pdf
When tasting an unknown soda there is no preference between C ans P. But when the brand is known there is a preference!

In America and Spain we call it as FUTBOL :razz:

nice T-shirt, really she would never use that one :sad:

Hi Marina,

I was watching an interesting documentary last night & the story revolves all around the suspense; which gets revealed after an Autopsy Report.

So there my interest emerged to find out the origin of the word “Autopsy” and also a relative question comes: Does it make sense if we brake it into “Auto” + “Psy” :?:

or how about the combination of Chemical Formula & Secret Word:
“Au Topsy” (kret) == Golden Top Secret :lol:

Jokes apart…

Anyways, Teacher could you please find the exact origin of this word?

Thanks Marina,
Rahul

Me neither Ms. pagedoll. Salt is a preservative, ok. Mold and mildew are found with water/moisture and other factors. Yes, people act and react under normal circumstances, and different under stress. Maybe sammy boy stopped eating at McD’s, or is going to sue them. “There’s no break down, it doesn’t go anywhere, it goes to your thighs.” Well I’m not a nutritionist expert, but I will not agree with that comment. Looks like captainjack is still away on sea duty or something.

Good ? Since I drink neither, finding the flavor not to my taste, my answer will be different. Yes both have caramel food coloring additive and the ingredients are under lock and key. That leads me to the brand image marketing campaign of which my brain has filtered out, to do not retain this for future reference. Coke is it! Michael Jackson drinks it! Bla-bla.

Amen.

Hi BillyB, Mr. 7MDM got my usual daily twenty votes today. Something is wrong with my PC/my cookies(and cache) don’t have enough glue or something, all cookies go to the recycle/icicle bin and get thrown out. At 4:22 am 6/9/08, score 1,007 votes.

CocaCola is based in Georgia.

A neighbor down the street from me back in the 70′s, had a t-shirt “enjoy cocaine,” and professed usage. After I got out of the Army, I found out that he had driven his motorcycle into a semi, and lost his …………head.

Pepsi contained pepsin and kola nuts ,and Coca Cola contained coca leaves.

btw, Pepsi is way better!!!!!

coca cola also contained the kola nuts… But the diffrence is that pepsi used pepsin and coca cola used coca.

The only thing Coca Cola is good for is as an excuse to drink Navy Rum.
Who ever heard someone ask for a Rum and Pepsi.
Another difference? Spellchecker doesn’t recognize Pepsi, but then it doesn’t recognize Spellchecker either. :???:

Marina, I love the new hairstyle and the new video format; the new camera gives you more room show your body language & acting ability, and adds another dimension to your productions.
You continue to surprise us with your talents and give us new reasons to admire you.

Whitesmoke? :shock:

Only difference i notice, is that cola is more fizzy and a bit more acidic tasting. Pepsi goes flat very fast too.

yeah – it answers the question
“What do you call the other one?” :mrgreen:

My dear teacher. Please explain the origin of the word umbilical.

James

x

i’d tell u to queue up, but u’re a runaway… :lol:

heyas,

not too sure about pepsi, however coca-cola makes a good old coin cleaner lol

ditto on what bob said :)

this reminded me of a 50′s style video :)

Request permission to land. :lol:

Has anyone else noticed a trend developing in the daily quotations?
I wonder if Marina’s book is due for imminent publication. :?:

I thought you called everything “Coke” down there, even 7-Up and Sprite. It’s like, “I’ll have a Coke” and the waitress says, “what kind?”

Basically, people, if given two cups with the same soda in it (Coke or Pepsi), they will think that one tastes different and pick one over the other, even though they are the same.

However, side-by-side in blind taste tests people pick Pepsi over Coke more often than not because of the sweetness.

There is no difference Between Coke And Pepsi. it is all on your head, when people see the logo of Coka-cola they think it taste better.

-sorry if you don’t understand my English is not very good

That’s a myth. Google it, or listen to the radio program in which Marina discusses it.

There are no bad words, only bad people. :lol:

Or Foosball?

Well, in my personal and modest opinion, :arrow: i think that the most remarkable and important difference between Coca-Cola and Pepsi is that the former was originally invented in order to cure headache while the latter was invented to cure stomach-ache,indigestion and precisely,disPEPSIa…….,

I think Coke has one up on Pepsi using celebrities to promote their drink. They created their own fat guy in a red suit celebrity called Santa Claus (well, at least created the modern image of what Santa looks like). Beat that.

Would this be like the difference between weed and hemp?

Yeah what’s with that? I thought for sure Marina had tight controls on her editing, so I thought it was on purpose and checked for a hidden message but found none :(

Maybe she’s trying to get her average video time up, or she was trying to get the time to 4:20 (though it does clock in at 4:23).

Your right, though I’d pick Christina Aguilera over Santa Claus any day :)
At least I know she is real. :roll:

Well, I know both are bad for your health, particularly your teeth…

It’s the slot where she normally shows her Bloopers (No sniggering at the back of the class!), so maybe she intended to put up some Bloopers and Blooped the editing.
More likely, however, is that she wanted to give us a mystery to speculate about and comment on. :wink:

A five star performance, the new look is great, hope to soon
get a video tour of your new apt.

I agree, but er… scrub “video” from the above statement. :wink:

Agree :!:

Free advertisment for a lawyer. :???:

In order to get the thumbnail cheat in the centre of the video, the time has to be right for the vid. ie the pic for teachers pet on the preview. The teachers pet got a full kiss in this vid too, the last couple of vids the kisses were cut off. Bob’s probably right too, blooper space bloopt… still imagine what you want, its a nice long kiss at the end.

The word just never goes away :sad:

Great video. I gave you five stars as usual. I like the new camera we can see more of you. Can’t wait for the blue screen should add alot more versitility to your videos. Your hair looks really nice today. :smile:

Very interesting.
I don´t know what is the difference,but I hear a lot of myths about cola beverages. Some people use coke to clean coins, to put in their tires like armorol, other use to tang and other use coke like stomach remedy. great video
Alidor

It’s the same as using warm sugar water to put on your tires. The sugar will make them shine and be darker. We did this on our firetruck’s tires when it was inspection time. It works great. Cheaper that armoral. :wink:

You can also pour coke on a coroded car battery terminal post and it will eat away the corosion. Many uses for coke besides just drinking it. :smile:

I get to go to work today at one of my businesses because of a cocaine addiction. Simply put, I took over a guy’s clientele, because he used all his working capital buying the white product. I had hired people at my business to do the installs of tires he sold at his business. Got very nasty at the end for him, he was lucky to escape with his life although someone did die in the upstairs of his shop.
Working girls, up the street from my shop, are ravaged by their addictions & are caught in a seemingly endless cycle of pain, numbed by drugs, but it’s not endless, doesn’t usually end well either. There are some, few, stories of hope, some girls do get their lives turned around, sadly not many.
Don;t mean to be a downer today though Cocaine Cowgirl and cocaine are funky tunes with a warning. Eric clapton was fortunate to stay clean now for a good number of years & survive some hard hits in his life.

BillyB probably most of here feel the same way about cocaine or any illeagal drug. We joke about them but that doesn’t mean we do them. I know I don’t and never have and I am 54 years old. I spend 33 years in the fire service and have seen all kinds of addictions and as you stated even to where it has taken someones life. So cheer up my friend and smile at someone because a smile is like a fresh spring day. and a :smile: to you.
Mike

You know BillyB that why Pete Townsond of the Who wrote Who Are You, he was so messed up at the time he didn’t know who he was. Thats when he cleaned up his act. The lyrics of that song tells his story. :neutral:

Hi Marina,
I’m interested in the origins of many nautical terminology words. “Port”, “starboard”, “aft”, “bow” and “stern”, in particular.
Thanks, Steve

Hello Marina,
How’s the the new “Penthouse” working out for you and Kobe?

Is the next word “anticipation” or “spellbound”?

You had my complete attention while I stared at my monitor so I wouldn’t miss anything.
That gave me a shamefaced laugh when it was over. Grin.
The new look that you have is great. It’s like the “Girl next door”.
The diffrence between Coke and Pepsi is that Diet Coke tastes better.
Thanks Marina

Yes, maybe she sould trademark the name.

I don’t mean this in a rude way but-
whatever she’s selling I’m buying it.
I’m hook, line and sinker as far she’s concerned.

bonher :roll: you are hot do you have a boyfriend? jake99

BillyB,
Any addiction- except for “hotforwords” and coffee- can become a terrible situation and is regretable from all points of view.

Oh so true BillyB. Quick story: Back in my late teens a group of five people, myself included ,decided to get a big pile of the the white stuff. At the moment of truth I made the CHOICE not to partake in the “fun”. Fast forward 20 years, 4 out of 5 of those people are now gone (dead). One of which was my best friend since fourth grade. The point of my story is not to gain sympathy for the loss of some of my friends, but to merely drive home the fact that BillyB and capman911 couldn’t be anymore on point. “Cocaine Blows” is a true statement, and at the same, extremely understated…and on that note, have a great day everyone! :grin:

Hey Warren Here is the link to our fd web site.

LINK

It didn’t work. This will though.

Hey thanks capman911.
I’ll take a look when I have more time.

Sorry jake99, she has about a thousand of us and ladies too. :wink:

Piece out.

Bingo, Bob?

I am glad you made the right choice back then Pagedoll :grin:

“What tells a boob to another boob ???” :mrgreen:

Fools ball ??? hmmm jajajjajaj :razz:

Add about three more zeroes to that number, Mike. That’s more like it.

Chemikal, did you sneak into Marina’s apartment and get a phto of Kobe for your Gravitar :?: Looks just like him. :razz:

HI COULD YOU PLEASE TELL ME THE ORIGIN OF QUIFF :?:

If anyone is tempted to think that drugs are a good idea, take a look at this. :sad:

oh, they do say “coke” (no cap) for all sodas down here, you are correct…

but i’m a Yankee livin’ in deep Dixie… :shock: …if i said anything, i’d say, “can i have a pop, please?”…

‘course, i drink water more’n anything else… :wink:

I was having a conversation with a friend the other day and she told me that she was going to DITCH me… as in leave me. We started talking and was wondering if the word ditch (when it refers to leaving someone or skipping class) has anything to do with the word ditch (as in a canal or hole in the ground). Thanks!

the difference.

I love their commercials.

Thanks for the lesson :smile:

it said that pepsi has more lemon oil, less orange oil, and uses vanillin rather than vanilla

“glad you’re here“?

subtract me.

It is my understanding that the most current source for the word was when the Puritans put someone in the stock and pillary for adultery the sign was the abbreviation for “For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge”.

It can possibly also be traced to the Latin futuo ( to screw ) or German zu pflugen ( to plow – think about it :wink: ).

Personally I prefer to reference the Puritans because, well just because then they gave us the foulest of cuss words.

I would like to request a word. The word is lackadaisical, and I once read a cute quote; ” If the English language made any sense, the word lackadaisical would mean a shortage of flowers.” Can you solve this word for me?

Thank you!

Could you do one on the origin of the word “Wow”? I know we all use it but where did it come from? If not that one how about “Straight up” as in “That’s straight up cool.” If ya could that’d be awesome

Vanahookupa

Of course not – unless Marina would like to provide a diversion. :lol:

Когда-то кокаин добавляли во многие напитки.Немало известных произведений искусства было создано под влиянием французского вина с кокаином

Once cocaine added in many drinks. Many famous works of art have been created under influence of a French wine with cocaine

Ah, the proverbial “holding patttern.” I see.

Can “YOU” be addicted to someone expressions? Teach could read from the NY phone book and I’d watch. Other then being sick, can that be why? ie The way you feel when you talk to someone you are friends with. Their expressions? I underestimated how much better the close ups are. Her expressions. EYES

What is the origin of the word saloon? Did it’s use begin in america?

Coke stopped using sugar when it introduced the “new” coke. It then started using fructose as its sweetener. By the way they never really switched back to the “old” formula. Coke did this to better play the commodity markets–basically using whatever is cheapest in large amounts as a futures trade…Go figure it’s all about the $. Note: other countries still have sugar in their coke, like Mexico…viva :!:

It may not be love, but it’s close!
Every thing from soup to nuts :mrgreen:

Drugs are bad, Hm’kay?

It’s the phosphoric acid in Coke that makes metal shine :mrgreen:

Dear teacher
Coquine or cocaïne? :wink:

Is it possible to get the origin of the word “beyond” please?

Don Felipe Gonzales

Went on a date once & the girl had to make a quick stop at her “Grandma’s” house; turns-out it was this little old lady who sold crystal meth & everyone called her Grandma–couldn’t believe it :shock: nice little antiqued lving room etc.–she even wanted to know if I wanted some hot tea :!: Wonder what ever happened to that girl, actually, no I don’t…

If you can’t tell the taste of Coke from Pepsi or RC Cola or other cola products, then the problem is your palate. Personally, I can tell the difference every time. I have a taste for Coca Cola and I can assure you there are differences, not subtle ones either. Same goes for lemony soda. Sprite is way different from 7-UP or Fresca! The psychology suggested is all moot, hence the continued debate.
If you like the taste of Coke, Pepsi tastes too sweet! Yuck :mrgreen:

Is it that time of month already?
Here we go again! take you
vitamin B and chill out. :mrgreen:

Hey Marina I was wondering if you could do the word “Aryan” because its a lot different than most people think it is and im kind of confused about it myself.

as i said in youtube
nice blush (and hair too)
very young style
i love it

Ni l’une, ni l’autre; coquette.

Marina,
I am curious about the origins of the the term “Scapegoat”

Advertising may attract your attention to try a product,
but it’s personal preference that decides your tastes.
If I want (never) a really sweet cola, there’s Pepsi.
A less sugary version is RC or K-Mart brand.
Coca Cola (Koka Kona) tastes better with food, to me.
Oh, and Coke does rock, no doubt about it. :mrgreen:

wondering what the word “morass” origin is. thanks ~Leo~ :smile:

Hello Marina.

Since I found this video on Youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJcDmxhmTDQ), I would like to know the origin of the word hedgehog.
Obviously it comes from Hedge + Hog and Hedge is rather self-explanatory, considering where they live, but Hog?

Hey capman911, did you try to make the word LINK the link? I’ve tried that and couldn’t get it to work. I’m trying to ge a buddy to come over and show me how, but I asked him about it and he referred to it as a hyperlink. Is that what its called, Im not sure. But I do its a job in it self to drag him away from his new 24 year old babe-alious girlfriend for even 5 seconds…if im seccessful with that task I’ll let you know. :lol:

capman911, I’m actually Kobe’s alter ego on the internet.
I enjoy browsing YouTube and other sites, as much as the next dogo.
*woof, woof!*

I hope she puts out a childrens book so I can read one too. :lol: :lol:

hmmmm…. should I stick my head in a plastic bag?
or use coComments and accomplish the same thing? :mrgreen:

You know what I miss? Comments from our teacher. I’m starting believe the trend is not the subject of food but the ever decreasing amount of replies from our dearest Marina. Am I wrong? Is it all im my head? …just dont think I’m that far off. :sad:

that felt good

What felt good? The bag on you’re head or the hole you poked in it to remain alive?

I ment ” your “…sorry :oops:

Okay, I give up, Gio. What DID one boob say to the other boob?

The facts contained herein are relatively well known compared to some of your more obscure lessons :?:

How about the origin of the word ” sycophant ” ?

NO…….. I too have sniveled about the absents of old Blue Eyes, But I am sure She is very busy and if you had better things to do then respond to these ZOO of misfits in these posts , would you? I say , I am happy She still takes the time to do the videos , That is good enough. THANK’S MARINA…….THERE YOU GO.

:grin: love ur show, was wondering if you could do the origin of the word ‘Elite’. thx :grin:

TRY AGAIN, ………..NO……..I too have thought her gone alot, But if you had better things to do then respond to this Zoo of misfits , would you? Besides I am just glad she still takes the time to make the videos , So Thank’s Marina, good enough. ……..There you go.

Yes Ma-am thats what I tried was the link thingy. I practiced on the practice page and it worked. But I can’t figure out what I did wrong. Thanks for any help. :smile:

#3 try , No pagedoll , She is gone a lot , She has got to be very busy, besides, If you were Her would spend any more time in this ZOO of misfits, I am just glad she still take time to make the videos. THANKS MARINA, …….THAT’S GOOD ENOUGH………THERE YOU GO.

I wonder what else we can think of that coke is good for or helpful in our daily lives :?:

Yes. I reluctantly agree with you. :neutral:

Love it, aLx !!!

How about Hansel and Grettal. Then we could eat their house. :lol:

PS. if you go to the CoComment dohicky , You can talk to her where she does comment. looks like she is on a real-estate site , maybe She’s looking to move again. 400,000 won’t buy shit thou.

Warren when you get to look at the stations I was at station 7 when I retired. It looks just like a regular house in the neighbor hood because of the building covenance of the area. We couldn’t even put station 7 on the building. It looked like a big house with 2 bay garage that two rvs would fit in. :lol:

” It’s all just mental masturbation… ” Any Sammy Hagar fans out there?

I watched quite a few of those videos from your link and they were cool. It’s too bad they ban them here for tv. :???:

this g-damn site, it took 3 times to see it post , then it posts all of them sorry guys, Iam going for tard of the day.

Marina, it is also interesting to see how Coca Cola developed their famous bottle. The main difference between Coke and Pepsi is that Pepsi is sweeter, and originally used pepsin, an enzyme that helps break down food enzymes, as one of its’ ingredients, thereby the name. Pepsi was originally called Brad’s Drink because it was created by Caleb Bradham of New Bern, North Carolina in 1893. Pepsi did not adopt their red, white and blue trademark colors until the start of WW2. Prior to 1941 Pepsi’s colors on the bottles had been brown!

OMG Pennslytuckies goat has gotten away. Someone got his goat :razz: :razz: :razz:

hey , if you want to get a kick out of weirdos in heat, go to craigslist and look at the relation site , W 4 W , M 4 M, W 4,2M. anything goes. PICS, and text . some funny stuff.

400 will get alot more today than it would a year ago. I worked in a house today that the guy picked up for 3.7 and and 18 months ago it was apraised at 5.3. There are deals to be had but anything that requires payments, especially these days we’re in, is a little risky for my blood…but, thats just me. :smile:

Shocking :shock: :shock: :shock: ………
Yes you are right drugs are a bad idea, but I hope that you are prepared to include three of the most addictive in your list, alcohol cigarettes and coffee.
Let’s face it we are all drug addicts of some kind.
Which drug damages more lives than all the others put together.
Yes alcohol. This can’t be denied.( many because it is so widespread and socially acceptable.)

Being legal doesn’t make it OK
Making it illegal doesn’t necessarily (but usually) mean it is bad.
I had a spell at school 35 years ago and believe the my small dabble made me a far better person.
Coke is definately bad. It destroys lives. Some addictions are too extreme to control. Coke is definately one (got me too Cola drunk :lol: )

No worries, as Gump said, “it happens”

Yea when he was with VanHalen. He rocked then. I don’t know about now. :?:

See these forums for good examples man

Can’t smoke Coke man. Goes all sticky and soggy man.
Nothing wrong with God’s green

Where’s the little rugrat today TTV. I miss his witty humor. :sad:

Great to give other people’s kids at bed time to watch a parent suffer !
(First time my Russian stepson had Coke it made him run around like a headless chicken. Also had to call the doctor out from excess Co2)

The bottle makes a good paperweight

The cap makes good segs to stop wearing your shoes

Only 5 ?
I gave it 10 stars (voted twice)

“video” doesn’t appear in “above statement” :lol:
No “d” or “i”

That would be fugly :shock:

I disagree like it or not I believe that “video” is the most appropriate word by definition for the video stream.
Video don’t just come in VHS and Betamax , they come as games, on silverscreens, DVD video, MP4 video, I pod video, Quicktime video, Flash video etc.
Video is the visual version of audio.

Well shizzam thats :cool:

Hey, 2hfwfc where’s the little rugrat at today. I miss his witty humor :?:

I just now got my latest video from youtube for Hot For Words on the coke video. I wonder why it takes so long for it to reach my e-mail when its been on youtube all day :?: . We’ve already made 190 comments and the video now shows up :???:

Actually the myth is Fornication Under COMMAND of the King.
The story goes that after disease almost wiped out of population our king ordered every man and woman to fornicate with as many different people as they could to increase chances of successful replication to keep the population going. Oh F%$^ I missed it !

Sadly Google Etymonline Wikipedia all agree that this was just a male fantasy. There pops another bubble…………….

Sorry to sound stupid but I still don’t understand pogue.
Is it an American thing that us citric acid dribbling limeys don’t understand ?

I am glad you said red not pink

She was going to ditch you, and you started talking about word origins… how cool is that :shock:
Another phrase origin put a spell on you may come in handy if you feel like you’re being ditched :-}

Fan is an abbreviation of fanatic and has a completely different origin and meaning to the air cooling device.

No offence, but I’m so used to talking to guys around here. I checked out your profile after I posted. Welcome to the zoo :cool:

Hey hot for words.. I heared a word in English class the other day, Ide like to know if you could help me understand it.. i feel silly going to the teacher about it. The word is.. “ambiguous” thanks i hope you can help me! Mr.Gillespie.. pronounced gill-ess-pee by the way :smile:

Come on then you have us all in suspenders
(Can a hamster look good in these ?)

Please tell me the punch line or I will put my head in a cat’s mouth or something.

Marina is there anyway you could add [reply] to a comment box with in another comment box. Say I make a comment. Pagedoll then comments on my comment then someone comments on Pagedolls comment but there is no [reply] section in her comment box so we have to find where she has commented somewhere else to answer her back. Is this making any sence?

I want to know the answer to the ultimate question about life, the universe and everything.

Oh yeah, the “make me a rock star” thingee.
Babe, either you are (and don’t know it) or you aren’t
make up my mind for me – which is it?
[a clue - the answer has no apostrophe]
Is THAT clear?

ahem.. coComment lessons, please

where does the phrase “pie in the sky” come from?

Marina, just curious, but what is a famous Russian product, other than Vodka? I know about Zenit, FED, Kiev and Zorki cameras for example, but what else is there from Russia that is famous there that we might not know about here?

I agree Pepsi I spit Coke I swallow.
it is like chalk and cheese to me.

What are you some kinda GD Republicin Queer Get out of my MF closet! :twisted:

Is that your birthday ?
I will get you a card

MARINA–i knew that coke was the most recognized brand in the world.what is the most recognized word in the world?i know the answer.i want to see if you do.i can’t tell you here because then everyone will know.tom–staten island n.y.

:arrow: Sorry I get A littel angrey Cuz of spam So I in returned to here
probley becouse Of Some hate mail I wrought I’m sorry!I am skitzodefective Bye

I’m here is you are referring to me cheeky

Not exactly, not in Brazil. In Brazil they don’t call it futbol. By the way they don’t call it , they play it.

What are segs?

The way I are.
I well said that wrong. What I meant to say is “I’m here ! Are you referring to me cheeky ?”

Was best before Word Lover decided to bugger off.
I miss his puns.

And so say all of us
And so say all of us
And he was a jolly good fellow
And he was a jolly good fellow
And he was a jolly good fellow
And so say all of us

good to see you 2hotforwords!
your presence was much missed.
pogue is another servicemans acronym
decorum only permits me to discreetly
suggest that the UE refers to useless
excrement. the PO stands for Piece of,
and the G is a well known expletive.
Probably should be GD but most
guys in service were barely out of
high school!

My guess is she was using coComments!
Otherwise, explain how she could be so
lost as to end up in here? You need
coComments to be able to do that.
I’ve used it to post comments twice
and I still don’t know where it put
them. I included my email address
to any alert finders, so I may yet
discover where they went!
So, how was your weekend? :mrgreen:

It is a very graphic way to say you have lots of preservatives in it. Of course it is not science, of course there is salt and whatever helping to preserve it, but what is certain is that food industry in general (not only McDo) has made great progress in food preservation.
Is it a surprise that a McDo french fry has little to do with a potato?

Hey Marina could you do the phrase Deus Ex Machina? i herd it meant like a solution or something
:lol: :smile:

Yea hey little buddy. Been out dancing lately? I just missed your comments today. Nothing much to laugh at when you’r not around. :cool:

It’s suddenly gotten really hot and humid here in the northeast US. So I was wondering if you could find the origin of the phrase “sweating bullets”.

Segs were very popular in the 70′s for protecting the soles of your feet from wear. They were metal plates that had spikes as many as 10 depending on the size. The spikes stick in the heel and soles so that you made a clicking sound as you walked (like a tap dancer) . Would you believe that it was a butch thing to ,make you look “hard”.

Nowadays we use Viagra eye drops to make you look hard :roll: :lol:

Was that an attempt at “hate” speak?
You might try to learn english FIRST!
I guess that’s why you are not sammy man.
At least you SPELLED queer right, you
must get that a lot from your boyfriends.
McCain all the way, dude!
Send Obama back to Chicago
Hope that makes you HAPPY
since you’re looking for trouble.
If you want to go another round,
you’ll have to go by yourself.
That shouldn’t be anything new.
bye now and FO

I believe you can. I have a friend who can recognize diferent brands of water. When he taste blindly an Evian water he can tell you even the age, and how it has been stored!!!
On my side I have dificulties in recognizing coke and pepsi, I am much better in wine-testing :wink:
Now what I found interesting in this article is that people who don’t recognize the diference, show a clear preference once they know the brand…It means that when they are “little” diferences (the little is subjective, for you maybe they are huge) brand make them much bigger.

OK

Barmar it was 102 here in the middle east in NC also. :shock:

Some third world countries “recycle” the bottles as construction material. For example you can cut the bottom part and use it as a tile, it makes a great floor!

i know what you’re saying. if i respond to a comment made to me, the reply sends an email to me, not the other person. I’m dizzy, now…

Thanks for the compliments capman911
Yes Markie (2HFWFC) took me for a spin in his pocket again.
I need a coke to recover.

You must mean Kobe!
(Arnold is jusy a graphic) :mrgreen:

Here’s one you’ll enjoy
http://www.capricecrane.com/images/tshirt1.jpg
this came up when I PicLensed Brian Doyle Murray.

wordlover is a wea-pun of mass something something

No you can bugger off Tig I am not filling your bottle with Coca Cola.

Hey Spudgun911 I know how you feel.
Word Lover was there one day and just vanished off the scene.
I don’t know who he or she is and quite frankly I don’t bloody care, but he/she had me in stitches and I miss him/her incredibly .
I get the odd snippet of similar style and quality humour from you and some others but for humour but no one could beat Word Lover.
The “accident” comment had me standing up for a week because I laughed my arse off !!!

I was pretty offended by a link on your web page until I realized it was a link provided by Google Ads® which I assume you only incorporate to make more money. Seems you are learning the American way awfully fast.

I knew Coke-Cola was the # 1 brand name however I did not know that background information Marina.

Thanks a bunch Gorgeous. :wink:

Oh Pepsi tastes sweeter to me than Coke.

An Admirer,
Billy

oh well, spec-u-later!

Sorry, was having a 10 2 and 4 while watching the lesson…

I can see that she’s been there
but I don’t see her comments
when I go there.
I mean, what’s the point? :roll:

this is just a beta site, i guess

I’m not going dancing with you tomorrow night then Markie 2FHWFC

Anyway going back to Viagra don’t the give it the the men in old people’s homes to stop them rolling out of bed ?

Last I heard, she was off being a rock star.
Somehow, we’re supposed to help by using
coComments. It’s like being stuck with the
fugly blind date who only says things like
“You got any money?” :neutral:

Nobody spoke yet about alternative colas, let’s promote them:

Fair trade colas: “Beuk Cola” try to help rural producers from Costa Rica. “El Che Cola” OGM free and giving 50% of the profits to OMGs. “Imazighen-Cola” 10% of the profits to promote Berber culture

Open source cola: “OpenCola” with a free an open source recipe anybody can produce it and improve the recipe under the GNU General Public Licence

Islam friendly colas “Zam zam cola” ‘Qibla Cola” and of course “Mecca Cola”

Local colas: “China Cola” “Breizh Cola” “Chtilà Cola” “Cola Turka” “Salva Cola” “Kofola” “Inca Kola” “Vita Cola” “Elsass Cola” “Jolly Cola” “President’s choice Cola” “Sinalco Cola” ‘tuKola” “Corsica Cola” “Evoca Cola” “Kola Real” etc etc etc…..

Yougo. the car :grin:

I’m getting a nasty feeling from
being horse-dicked around
by coComments. It’s proved
to be a clumsy, unintuitive
program, now I’ll KNOW clumsy
when I see it again

“No Sir, I didn’t like it”
- Ren & Stimpy, Mr Horse

Huh. Attack of the Silent E?

thanks for that Melikatheboogiewoogie but I know who uses cocomment and when they started by the way, because the replies appear on the wrong threads. It is confusing to people reading the forum entries as a storyline goes…….. :shock:

Had a great weekend took Tig out dancing (as you obviously guessed we are really both Markie and his alter ego twin.)

Yes I was getting worried about the pencil box bit as well.
Sounded very gay to me I hate that word “gay” It used to mean jolly . How can a sad homosexual be jolly ? . I love the Queer word it is so insulting :lol: But food for thought .
Might be a woman under the sunglasses you never know. Just because the picture is a man doesn’t mean that he is male.
I mean one absolute nutter here is absolutely convinced that he is a hamster.
Hamsters can’t write

well… we missed you both!
stay on / stay off the meds
whichever works best! :mrgreen:

We can’t hold a pen but we can walk across keyboards

The pencil box bit is Benny Hill!
The gist is that Benny’s character
doesn’t understand the jibber jabber
and responds with the only english
phrase he knows. I like my bread
butter side up, than-q-very-much.!
(ie not gay) maybe the joke is.
Can’t speak for Benny! :mrgreen:

Hey cool it Melikawentonaboutapencilbox dude we all all came on here a bit strong at the beginning man. Chill dude.
He is in the right place the vibes here are good man.
Addictive good vibes man.
He just hasn’t felt them yet man

Hey I’m Sam man , he’s sammy boy cool just spotted that. (will use striped paint next time)

Give Sammy boy time he will turn away from the dark side.
The force is strong on this one i think his humour will be wicked he has spirit….

If you live down south, the term “coke” is used for ANY soft drink, not just Coca-Cola.

I didn’t like the new look…….
too much makeup.

So would you pronounce that silent ” “.

I’m chilli – it’s ok
he got what he was looking for
no more, no less
I think there is a pattern
of comments by those
from another site who
consider us all to be snobs.
thank you coComments!

Oh, and upon examination
we’re snobs because we
don’t speak using ebonics.

in that sense and their definition,
I am a snob, i can use english – wow
turnabout is fair play but it’s
like shooting fish in a barrel.
Dr Bill Cosby would agree,
if you don’t understand your
mother-tongue, you’re going
to make barriers for yourself.

Let’s let FO stand for

GO TO MY COMMENTS, This take you her site, click on the site you wish to see. :shock:

thanxs very interesting topic lov Augie

yup, we’re little blue soldiers , keeping ourselves entertained, Like the golden road of brick to the city on the hill, We are the Scarey Old Crow, Sin Man and the Lier-n. Watching out for Flying butt monkeys. And staying clear of the Wicked Bitch of the Dem’s. On the way to getting Marina to the Wizard .

man, I need a life

Hey pagedoll, I read your post from work today when I went to vote for the 7milliondollarman. Thanks for the reply, you know looking back on stuff & the way things happen is an advantage of being , or getting older. Your post moved me today & I’m glad for your reply & story. I haven’t always made good choices in my life & there are scars & regrets, but Lord willing I’ll wake up again tomorrow & make good & bad choises all over again, I feel blessed by you & others that post heres’ comments & chatter.
This weekend is big & tough for me, my daughter is getting married.
She has been away for two years now but it’ll still be different knowing she’s not mine anymore (only a daddy of a little girl would understand that). She came to visit last weekend & when I dropped her off at the ferry to go home, (I Iive on an island) I had trouble driving home, trying to see through the tears. I’m so blessed, the guy she is marrying is a great guy & she has loved him since high scool although they lived in different cities. I don’t deserve it but I got three great kids & my wife tolerates me \o/ & I love her for that. Should be a more than interesting weekend coming up, all the weird relatives & such + me. Cheers

Anyone old enough to remember the old red coke machine? The little glass door in the front , long and narrow and you would pull the bottle straight out the front. 10 cents. And there was a little box with an opener. No twist tops. To be cool you’d lay the bottle up to a chair or table and hit down with your hand, This would take off the top. Different world then.

Interesting… I’ve always been a big Eric Clapton fan, i have the 1973 recording of “Rainbow Concert” organized by Pete Townsend as a celebration of the return to performing by EC after breaking his heroin addiction. Pete & Eric with hair not unlike mine in ’73. Ancient history to a lot of folks, but seems like yesterday to me. & you?

I remember one machine, you lifted the lid & had to slide the bottles suspended by their necks, around a track to the point of release. Most of the fun of having a coke was just getting it out of the machine. Saturday mornings, dad took me & my brother hacking around a par three golf course, at the end the reward, either a coke or an ice cream, & in the car the plastic protector from the factory, still on the seats to protect them against childhood spillage. Wow just saying that brings back the memories & the smells, the golf coarse was half of a farm, with cattle. mmmm… breath deep. Yeh I’m old enough

We , Her monions what to see her make money so she can keep doing this OK?

You’re in the Middle East?

and the Grape NeHi, RC cola, Pa’s root beer

What are you having trouble with? I signed up months ago & don’t try to use it much. I guess I just try to limit how much commenting I do (Sometimes), but it hasn’t kicked my ass or anything I just see it bellow my comment box & trust someone’s keeping track. Keeps me from going insane on my comments knowing if I kick off my family may track where I virtually went :-}

POP’s Root Beer

The email notification always comes in several hours after a new post is released. I don’t know why, but it’s that way. It gives the people who watch and wait to be first responder a bit of a head start though.

A&W had girls on roller skates, for real & not as a retro thing, big frosty glass with nose numbing roote beer & fighting with the siblings over who got to ride on the ledge above the back seat on the way to A&W. too much… where’d all go so fast.

West coast Canada, cccold. I was taking the tarp off the pool on the weekend getting the pool ready for next weekend, visitors galor coming. We need some of your heat wave please. I’m driving my convertable in the rain these days, have to speed to stay dry.

Microsoft is big worldwide, but doesn’t translate well into other languages, ie in China I hear that mens’ masculinity is offended to have to use a product name that translates “small & soft”

Hey Marina, are you going to pick up the new iphone? I hear there going to be extra trick with 3g capabilities and now only $299.00 for the 16 gig model. I only ask because you had mentioned you use one in previous comments. :smile:

Teach, I see you on the new york times, This paper is like the old KGB, Cheka, Their job is to mislead and obfuscate. To the same end I am afraid.

pepsi is sweet and coke is sour?

It’s not actually the end of the world, but the final big battle & not for armagedon but in the valley of Megiddo (armegedon) one of the earths, from a military stratagists point of view, best natural battlefields. But a beautiful place none the less.
Cheer up sammyboy, this “hfw.com” is a beautiful place, with a beautiful hostess, with a bunch of misfit pets taken in for undeserved care & heck, don’t turn a beautiful place into a battlefield. or we’ll all get stuck in separate cages, as it were. Chill y’all

nice COKE!
I heard about it before somewhere!…
Please do this one:
Why the word SEPARATED in the writing spells all together and the words ALL TOGETHER spells separated????

we had a A&W but no skaters, just the Car Hops.

aLx, I liked the Macy Gray tune you linked “glad you’re here”. I got another one from balcony TV you might like. At least you’ll understand. Let me know if you like Catharina Boutari . Hey, which one of the guys in the Coke Commercial is you?

Where the word Guitar comes from, and Why the guitar is named guitar, haha.
Can you tell mes please.
By the way. the difference between Coke and Pepsi. I think pepsi has a smoother taste, like the difference between splenda and canderell haha!
Not trying to tell the difference between Regular Coke and Diet Coke.

Cute

I have another one!… how about the word BABYDOLL… At first sight it should be a doll, the toy, with a baby face… but if you google it you will see a bunch of different models of sexy clothes for women!… how could that be??? what is their relationship?

Are you a you tube subscriber? If you were you’d gat notified via youtube account. I gotta see if I’m blocked or somehing, I don’t get my notification anymore :-(

I remember the old red coke machine, BillyB’s slide the neck of the bottle machine, and the frosty A&W root beer with hot dogs. The roller skates weren’t an option for employees in my area. Back when gas was 27 to 34 cents a gallon. I guess we are getting off track from Miss HFW’s homework assignment/DETENTION.

I have to commend your honesty. I do understand it is by my choice I visit here.

tomping61, yes I know you were addressing our dear teacher, but my answer to your GTW is: no. If I’m wrong my grade won’t be affected, and will create more web traffic for HFW.

Hello Marina!

How are you this fine day? I was wondering if it was possible if you could inform me on the origin of the word ‘trivia’. Recently, in one of my literature classes, my teacher mentioned that ‘trivia’ didn’t always exactly mean ‘trivia’, or something along those lines. Though, since I have forgotten what she has told me, I was thinking, “this would be a great job for Marina to do on her ‘hotforwords’ show.”

Thank you in advance for your help.

p.s. I took the advice you had dished out about tracking comments. Not a bad piece of software. In addition, the advice on the more recent soy milk and juice mixed drink, superb!!

here is a educational vid

try again, this video will help http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkV-jjpWjQs&feature=related

hey Marina :) I was just wondering about why in America they call it socker but we in Europe call it just football and why Americans call football what we call american football. And why is that like so? It makes just a mix up.

BillyB,
Congratulations to you and your family.
You are blessed so be proud- not sad.
You’re not losing your daughter- you’re gaining a son.

Yeah! With both hands. :twisted:

and a heart… :smile:

Where’s Hitman?
aLx wants to be eliminated. :lol:

It MUST be love.

grrr… this must be the evil twin. :idea: :?:

When you put it that way, I see my problem is that I actually had an expectation that this product would do more than just lie there (like Paris Hilton in her video) and suck up resources without any tangible result.
There’s a lesson here. It’s about the meaning of the words “real” and
“apparent” as they relate to each other. Asi in “real power” vs “apparent power” for example. Thanks for helping me figure that out.

Whitesmoke asks, “Did you mean better?”

pepsin, an enzyme that helps break down food enzymes

No, it helps break down Proteins; breaking down the natural enzymes in the food would inhibit digestion.

neh – beta, as in beta testing
Ethically, this is done before
a program is released upon

Ummm… was that a response to “How to use coComment”, “Is Marina a Rock Star”, or …
Oh! I get it, the meaning of life.

That was from You-go-slow-via, not Rush-hour.

Caviar.

I heard a story about a naval captain who wanted to reward his crew for a particularly good performance in an inspection.
Out of his own pocket, he bought them caviar, to be served in the mess at tea-time.
Asking his No.1 afterwards how the crew had received the gesture, he was shocked to learn that they had complained about the blackberry jam tasting of fish.

ok BillyB you’r giving away your age like I did. :razz: :razz:

Hey roadrunmch did you mean minions or morons :?:

I know I got dizzy just trying to say it. :lol:

I am BillyB but I don’t get a call from utube either. :???:

New uses for Colas.
Food Drink for thought. Do you still like Cola?

You hit it right on. I was just listening to Eric Clapton when he was with Cream on my Ipod when I walk this morning. It’s called the Cream of Eric Clapton. Alot of his good oldies even a few songs on it when he was the Dominoes. :cool:

I know how you feel on the daughter issue. Mine just married on May 17th to a great guy. Now I have two sons. :cool: Man was it costly but worth every penny of it just to see them so happy together. :cool:

Mike

And we still don’t know the answer :!: Yes Tiger you would look good in suspenders. I could hold up your====you know male hampsters have very big aaaa thingys. :oops:

Thats suppose to be an it in ther not an “I’ :oops: I am not holding them up no way shape or form. :!:

BillyB how do uou check out ones profile. I know it can be done but I haven’t got that far yet. :?:

Lived across the street from David Lee Roth for 8 years–mostly really quiet.

Bob the new uses for colas was an interesting video. I may start spraying my ferns and Hostas with it to keep away the cutworms. :idea:

Hello Marina,

What’s the difference between the two colas? Coke has more phosphoric acid in it than Pepsi… and this acid is also used to clean things.

My friend took a bottle of Coke and shook it up with his thumb tightly covering the opening. His new girlfriend had just revealed that she wasn’t on “the pill” and they just finished having unprotected sex. He took his thumb off the bottle and pushed in her “you know what!” Supposedly, it works to “deactivate?” … “wandering sperm!” hmmm?

Let’s investigate!

:arrow: :shock: :idea:

we don’t need another fan’ abreviation show?

Also, the term COKE is used to refer to coal that has been refined to take out the impurities. It is then used to fire the blast furnace, that creates molten metal, such as steel. Wonder how that got started? I remember my grandfather working at the “coke” plant in the 60′s, and he wasn’t making a soft drink! :smile:

Congratulations C911… you understand how I feel right now :-}

Marina,
Where did the phrase, “as poached as an elephant” come from?

i’m sad & happy at the same time, tough emotion to understand, I’ll just enjoy it & savor it, before I try and understand it.

Derrick & the Dominos “Layla”, my first album, wore the vinyl out, got the disk when it came out. Cream did a TV spot not long ago, hope Ginger Baker’s ok, he looked weak but still thrashed away.

Do you know why he wrote lala. He was in love with I think it was Ring Starrs wife at the time. They never got together but thats what my wife told me about the lyrics of the song.

hello beautiful marina. i would like to know the origin of the word karma, as in good karma bad karma etc. :smile:

He was making a joke about our being rich and relatively unintelligent (vegetables with money, —> money + onions= monions) :roll:

hey, billy,

thanks for the music clip, yeah, I do like it. girls playing the guitar always somehow remind me of melissa etheridge.

the coke commercial, lol, I was the bus driver. ;)
plus, the girl reminded me of someone else, too. the singer of kashmir. good music. polish, though. which doesn’t really bother me. I think music is music, you get an idea of what the song is about by watching the clip.

heh. you like animals, don’t you? ;)

I have heard, that Coca-Cola is an orange based flavour whereas Pepsi is a lemon based flavour, and that Pepsi is the prefered mix with Rye. Also that only Coca-cola should be used as a mix with dark rum.

My karma ran over your dogma.

I like all animals, yes, but more of the weird looking animals like unicorn fish, tree kangaroos and elephants…

Is it true that the fat, whitebearded gentleman we are used to seeing around Christmas time was also designed by the cokacola company :?:

I was being sarcastic. Seems proof reading is passe as well,
“We , Her monions want…” rather than “We , Her monions what…,” but enough of English 101.

Anyway I personally hate when sites get cluttered with ads, especially those which attack others. That was my point.

The dogma runs that you now have bad karma.

Now, lets see if the phrase “bad karma” gets people worked up into a tizzy, like “bad grammar” did. :evil:

and what does that mean exactly? lol

Cause we’re bass ackwards. Its like we still use the SAE number system and still call things ounce, pint, quart, gallon and the rest of the world uses the metric system. We are slow to adapt. People resist change. But change is good. It stimulates the mind to try new ideas. Just my thought on your question :neutral:

I have a word request my teacher: “train”. Its my faveorite way of transportation and I always wonder wheter it has something to do with its other meining “to train” as in bootcamp.

I had a karma Gia when I was younger was and excellent little kar :cool:

Maybe sniperskaya could take him out. Too bad, though. I’ll miss the links, viewpoints, music, ice cream, etc. (especially the ice cream).

They just reinvented him to sell their product.

lol, Bob – that’s right – is there really such a thing as “bad” karma? Maybe we should call it “different” karma, or “personal” karma….

Hmmm….

well my point is
why in two english speaking countries like england and the us
they call it differently
where did soccer come from??
in other countries is alike
futbol,football,futebol.etc

Spot on, Capman,
Constant change is here to stay.

Yeah, Ice Cream.

What about Instant?

That was a cool and yummy comercial Bob :cool:

Ok this is a hard one for you, and deffinately a little taboo, but it’s the only word that keeps occuring to me when I watch your video lessons :oops:. I cannot find any information regarding its origins on the internet so I thought you might be able to help me get to grips with it, and possibly give me a hand. The word has aired on the BBC, in a show called countdown and will go over 99% of Americans heads. So get your etymological dictionary out and look up wank, or you could just hit me around my facetious little head with it.

I would like to know the origin of the term, “pull off,” meaning “to do something successfully.” Example: “How did you pull off getting into Harvard?”

capman911,
I went to the main page and I liked the “Mission Statement”.
Station #7- I took a peak and saw that it was very comfortable looking and seemed to be in a very nice area.
You were very fortunate to be able to work 33 years in such a pleasant setting.
I imagine that all of the surrounding buildings are not more than two stories high.
I would make fighting fires a bit easier and much safer than say buildings that are 3-5 stories.

The difference? Coca-Cola was a pharmacist’s stimulant drink (Cocaine and Caffeine) where Pepsi was a pharmacist’s stomach aide for people suffering from dyspepsia.

Thanks

someine same and swotched my o and i in my key biard :wink:

mike,

just click on her name, this is gonna take you to her youtube channel where she got a vid which tells you to go to another youtube channel …

Hi bobsully,

Copy that, thanks. You and I are so very “on the same page” that it would seem we underestimate each others’ abilities to follow our respective trains of thought. Mea culpa, but further on…

Likewise, I was being facetious about failure to proofread one’s own submissions (precisely by not mentioning it!) before committing them more or less permanently to the Submit Comment button.

Does anyone (besides me) ever consider that this forum might also serve as a kind of barometer or core sample revealing the temporal development (change over time aspects) of our own individual philological and/or linguistic education(s)? Those who participate and pay attention can learn more than just The Lessons from this blog because it’s a community. We learn from interaction with each other. Well, I do anyway. :roll: Stupid stuff I cogitate on from time to time…

Sorry to digress. While I assert that our observations are critical to the vibrancy of the forum, it seems to me a bit unnecessary to disparage Marina for making her way by whatever means she deems appropriate in this capitalist murk through which most of us must either sink or swim. Wouldn’t you agree?

Personally, I didn’t notice any negative ads. I guess I don’t pay attention to them. I do know they are generated by keywords that Google senses on a webpage. I also know they help pay the bills to keep our forum afloat.

Thanks for responding, bobsully.

See you around the campus. :smile:

Constant karma is more accurate.

(The ads) are generated by keywords that Google senses on a webpage.

That being so, it is inevitable that, with certain “bad language” (I know, I know – don’t start again!) being used freely in here, some of the ads are going to be offensive to some.
People have two choices:-
1. Allow the ads to appear and ignore them, or
2. Use some kind of software to filter or block the ads.
For the latter, I use a Firefox Add-on called “NoScript” which allows me to block undesirable content from all sites except the ones which I specify.

I like that Hawaiian meaning – very poetic.

So, again I can respond to you but this is a new conversation group. You will be able to respond in this window, but your response will not have a reply button. It does seem there ought to be a way to nest that variable. Must be a default setting. She could modify that code easy, I bet. Maybe even through an interface! “Know what I mean, Vern?” – Jim Varney :mrgreen:

Well it wasn’t really “bad language,” but rather standard language used to convey racist remarks. I would write Google, but I didn’t save the link. Got to love the Internet.

Certainly she can do as she pleases, just as I can choice to leave if it loses its unique niche and focus.

That’s a good one!
Where did you hear that?

“OK” – see the lesson!

BS. I’ve shot both American, Soviet bloc and Chinese weapons. The AK trigger group was derived from the American M1 Garand action. Russian weapons have looser tolerances which means they work better overall in severe conditions and are easier for uneducated people to operate, but are far less accurate than American weapons. American sniper rifles are all capable of sub MOA groups. Most Russian sniper rifles are not.

I guess I must be a one percenter…I work with a Limey here in PBI who has a medal attached to the front of his bike. It says ” World’s Biggiest Wanker ” . It was presented to him in Australia, of all places. I asked him whether he hangs it above or below his VC…

Yeah, Coca-Cola in the little 8 ounce bottles, and later the 16 ouncers. Anyone remember Dr. Pepper in the 10-2-4 bottles? It was more of a southern thing.

There is notthing like a habit forming drink except the nicotine slip

Yes, before he was portrayed wearing long robes, either red or a light brown, but it was Norman Rockwell that Coca-Cola commissioned to do a new more modern painting of Santa for them to advertise with around Christmas time, and his painting became “The Coca-Cola Santa” and it became their greatest marketing idea ever, and now most people don’t even remember the way Santa used to dress.

Actually now that I think about it, I don’t even think he wore red before he was “redone” in Coca-Cola’s red with white trim. Because I have a old-fashioned Santa tree topper, and it’s the light brown.

No, it’s because Americans took Rugby and rewrote it some then called it football. So, being Americans who think we are right and the rest of the world is wrong, Football is the name of OUR game, so we renamed the rest of the world’s “Football” to soccer.

I’ve been to A&W before, but the place near me closed, and now there’s not any around anymore… I miss A&W. Probably the reason they quit wearing skates was because too many girls got hurt, I know when I worked at Sonic some of the girls were like “We want to wear skates” and they said they couldn’t because their insurance company wouldn’t allow it, but recently they’ve started allowing their car hops to wear skates again, if they wish.

But, Sonic is not A&W. I miss A&W. Don’t even think there’s one in Kansas anymore at all. Last time I went to one was in Texas.

Are you talking to me? I’m pretty slow, so you’re going to have to explain that one to me… hear what?

yes, I was “taliking” to you
yes, you “sound” slow
I guess you’ll need to try
a little harder to be fast, huh?
this is as slow as it gets
“how did you come by to
know and understand the
phrase ‘as poached as an
elephant’?”
Did you “read” it someplace?
Did you “hear” it someplace?
Did aliens plant it into your
thought stream, anally?

I was just curioius – sorry!

I hear the phrase being used quite a bit almost everywhere, but about a week ago a friend of mine was on Youtube and she had me listen to this song that she thought was very amusing, and it said, “As poached as an elephant”, and that was the first time that I ever actually thought about that phrase..
Now, I have never actually seen an elephant, much less a poached one, I wanted to request this because I thought it sounded like it would be very interesting for Marina to investigate. Did you know that I’m not allowed to use smilies any more?

OK – thanks for that.
If you poach an egg
then it’s cooking.
if you poach an
elephant, that’s
stealing.

So the conundrum is more
about the word “poach”

I like the green one, myself :mrgreen:

Oh my gosh! I can’t believe I didn’t relise that before!
Poaching is to illegally hunt and kill an animal.
Elephants are endangered.
It’s illegal to kill them.
___
Well I guess I can still make something out of my useless request.. Because I don’t see how that word is related to those two definitions..
___
I used the smilies too much on my first word request, and now I’m not allowed!

Wasn’t the Yugo faster model built for Rush-hour ?

interesting video, i like your initial image on this video.

So had Cola been in the town of Cocaine ?

Actually Coca Cola still buys tons of coca leaves, but they will not say what for. And Starbucks was caught and sued in San Francisco court for putting epinephrine in their coffee!

I remember those machines. I also remember the old machine with the giant lever on the front and the bottle would appear at a lower square cavity that looked like an industrial cat door. But bottle caps were better back then, for kids anyhow. They had a cork seal instead of the soft plasticized seal that was introduced in the late 60′s and still in use. The cork seal was much thicker than today’s seals, and that allowed kids to thumb snap bottle tops and make them sail through the air. Great sport. Now that brings me an idea. Why not cut out some cardboard inserts for bottle caps to make them snappable? I’ll put that on my list of things to do when perfectly bored, like when watching TV.

Especially with a side of fries.

Chilled

I am shu shu shu shivering I am that chu chu chu chilled bbbbrrrrr

Gio, almost everybody call football football because it is what it it is balonpie.
But in the US they already have a sport called football (arround 1880), so they had to find a diferent name for balonpie: soccer. Soccer is an abreviation from “football association”, first assoc. then soccer.
Hope it helps. The real question is why in the US the guys who invented their game called it football when it is mostly played with the hands :?:
What is your team?

Hey elephants are scared of hamsters and mice.

An elephant…..I bully them…I’ll rip his head off and we can see…….Who nose what embarrassing underwear he keeps in his big trunk.

I didn’t hear it either. Have you been on the whacky backy again Melika

Not allowed to use smilies ?
How about frownies ?
Is it a religious thing or is you internet having it’s menstrual cycle ?

You can’t poach a hamster.
I don’t fit well enough in either poacher.
I am too big for the egg poacher
and too small for the stomach of a poacher.

I started feeding my Venus fly trap with Coke but now it doesn’t kill and eat the flies it is holding 347 hostage until I switch to Pepsi
I prefer Coke but the plant doesn’t.
Do you think I should give in or is this showing that hamsters can be weak ??

Sorry Capman that is more a Russian point of view than an American one that Americans are backass backwards as a nation and should move on to metric.
Sorry I am English and I don’t like metric either so I’m a backass also.
In fact metric was so rarely quoted in the UK for food that the government had to pass a statute insisting that everything was measured is in metric weights and distances.
So now everybody asks the poor shop assistant “568 grams can you tell me how many ounces that is please love ?”
Generally as a nation we hate metric and the Euro (we never joined)

I think that Imperial encourages good mathematics because it is so complicated. Education separated the classes. With base 10 metric a mathematical moron can sound educated. Is this good ?
Are calculators good at school ? Why is religious services banned at school ?

So what you are saying ragabashmoon, is that despite the fact that the ball is handled more than it is kicked it is called football.
Wouldn’t it be more appropriate to call it handball or American Rugby ?
I don’t know why they violated the name of such a dissimilar game. Was American Golf a maybe at one time ? American Tennis ?

Even more tongue in cheek maybe the World Wildlife Fund whose mascot was a Panda was endangered by the World Wrestling Federation (of America only). I reckon that the Pandas got scared when the bozos kept ringing them up for fights.

The popular image in America is a Coke creation. Red robe, belly, boots, red smilling face etc…. A marketing idea.
In other coutries were the tradition was strong, such an image did not go through and the traditional figure is still strongly associated with the Saint. In eastern France for example he wears a blue dress, is tall and not fat and has a bishop’s hat and a carries a bishop’s cross.

Do you believe that “trivia” is an important issue ? :roll:

Candy for the eyes sends blood ‘tween our thighs
Candy for the mind if you would please be so kind

I love that saying “thanks a bunch.”
I try to visualise it and can’t.
What does a bunch of thanks look like ?
Here calls a phrase / word request please Marina

I don’t understand. I thought you first invented “football” then heard about a game played with a ball and the feet in some other obscure part of the world. As you already were using “football” for something else, then you had to call it something else: soccer from “assoc. football”. Maybe I’m wrong. What I never understood is why in the first place you called football something played with a ball and mainly the hands?

So next time i want Sweet and Sour Chicken and egg flied lice, I should drink Pepsi and Coke together ?

So you are saying that thank your are fruit or vegetable because they come in bunches. Do they look like radishes, bananas, grapes ?

Snake and Pygmy Pie in the sky ?
Sneeze and Bunion ?
Chicken got much room

Maybe the Yorkshire saying ” nowt as strange as th’folk lad.”
Funny old things us humans eh ?

Hey Miss
This hamster is impersonating me.
He described himself as human. :shock: :shock: :shock:
Either an impostor or
a few slates short of a roof,
you know a few biscuits short of a packet,
not a full shilling,
barking mad,
you know the light is on and there is no one at home.

No don’t give in make the little bastards suffer :twisted: They are pesky enough as it is. :smile:

When you close the fridge door does the light go out :?:

Why is it called an “I phone” when as an audio gadget it should be an ER-phone ?

Yes the Thank You plant has big strong leaves so enabling large bunches to be gathered on the Thank You plantations at harvest time.
A very gratifying period I would think !

Careful Tig the bomb scare will be the next ploy. Never trust a plant with a bomb

Hmmm superb humour capman119 (capman911 translated into English)
Still miss Word lover though

It might be the whole multi-billion dollar marketing thing, but, thats just my opinion…you had better copyright that or next year we’ll see the iglass

Hey I have spent hours trying to sneak the fridge door open but the light always wakes up quickly slowly quietly loudly, I can’t catch it out. I reminds me of the mirror. That just copies me every time. Can’t catch it out.

So you harvest these with a verballycombined harvester ?

How can a 2 letter word make you dizzy ?

Kobe is not funny at all. So by elimination process ……….
So are you calling me a rugrat ? Eh Eh ?
Have you ever tried picking up your teeth with 2 broken arms ?
Eh? :lol: :lol: :lol: :roll:

I’ll go for the Grettal’s bush

:smile: Well here in Texas to me and a lot of people I know a “bunch” means all you can get into your hands, from the bottom of your heart and all with a big smile.

Here one could visualize me giving Marina a big hug with a big smile on my face showing how happy I was. :wink:

I’ve got to get one of those shirts. Seriously though doesn’t everyone already know the origin of this? Hotforprofits needs some cute shirts like that.

That’s not true bro’.You make it sound like there is some kind of drug scam going on.

While they do buy the leaves,they do so under U.S. legal restrictions through a company in New Jersey which is the only one in the U.S. authorized to import and process them.

Nothing nefarious going on,and the resulting “residue” is handled according to the law under very strict supervision.

Julius Caesar once said that the people of Aquitaine could teach the Romans themselves to speak Latin more correctly…have a good day, tiger-the-vicious and to all that reads this… :razz: [Ides of March]
