    The Paparazzo game: Where does the Paparazzo name come from?
    Option 1) Fellini choose this name because of the similarity with “papataceo” a mosquito as noise and painfull as a paparazzi on his vespa.
    Option 2) The co-author Ennio Flaiano found interesting a character named Papparazzo in the book George Gissing book “By the ionian see”. It was a friendly hotel-keeper
    Option 3) The script writer was from the italian Abbruzzo region in the local dialect paparazzo is a clam. The script writter made the conection between the sound of the word, the clap of the camera, and the clap of the opening/closing clam.

    Hi, Marina, I’d like to request the word schizophrenia.

  • http://myspace.com/californyarip californyarip

    Elementary, my dear Marina.
    La Dolce Vita is an italian phrase. It’s direct english translation is “The Sweet Life”. Maybe now they’ll change the show to “Le Dolce Vita of Zack and Cody”
    Interesting tidbit: Le Dolce Vita was a 1960 film directed by Federico Fellini and starring Marcello Mastroianni.
    It breaks my heart that you haven’t been naming teachers pets in your past 2 videos… if you’re still doing it, could I be the next teacher’s pet?
    Thanks

    hi,
    since my motherlanguage is not english but flemisch/dutch I suddenly bumped to a word “flake” not in the context “cornflake” but more as an adjective… someone who is flakey or people starting to flake. What the heck does it mean?? :shock: I found it on a list of Pet Peeves, people that are mostly being annoying…

    Can you help me out with this one?

    Sincerely
    Frederic :wink:

    PS your podcastvideos sure helps me pass time when I’m waiting for the train to work. So a thousand thanks and more to come. :mrgreen:

  • http://www.zenithmaritime.com/ captainjack

    Ok lets see if I figured this out. Marina makes dozens of these video in like a week. Then she post them like every other day or so for months on end. This leaves her months without having to do much other that a few random comments or so every day on her blog. Am I getting close guys? Which is kind of cool operation, making it easier to maintain and not to interfere with her daily life.
    She never leaves any comment about her personally, only directly relating to the lesson at hand or a complaint. She is a very business orientated with her blog. Its almost like this whole blog is a facade for some other kind of agenda. I’m still waiting to get a glimpse of the little green man behind the curtain.

  • http://www.myspace.com/arvikaband frederic2801

    Oh yeah,
    La Dolce Vita means “the good/sweet life”
    If you know the movies from director/actor Roberto Benigni its easy

  • http://www.zenithmaritime.com/ captainjack

    Im going to go with Option # 1 because because I really really hate mosquitoes.

  • animalntaz

    :smile: Hi Marina, I have a word request : FETISH
    This may sound silly, but when I first heard this word so many years ago, it gave me the impression it meant ‘interest in feet’, because of its partial spelling. And since I have a bit of a foot fetish, I guess it would have been easy for me to think that.

  • maheez09

    La dolce vita

    Meaning: The good life, full of pleasure and indulgence.

    Origin: La dolce vitaThis phrase entered the language following the success of the 1960 film La Dolce Vita. This was written and directed by Federico Fellini and starred Marcello Mastroianni, Anita Ekberg and Anouk Aimée.La dolce vita translates from the Italian as ‘the sweet life’ and this was used as one of the advertising taglines for the film. Of course, this phrase would have been commonplace in Italian-speaking countries prior to 1960 but only became part of English at that date.

  • maheez09

    also could we find the origin of the phrase “faux pas”? thanks, yay.

  • reiel

    Hi, HotforWords. ^_^ I’ve always wanted to know the origins of the word performance, but I’ve been stuck on square one for a lonng time. Perhaps you could look into this for me? It’d be appreciated!

  • micheldiego

    If you like this one, certain sources have some more details. Fellini supposedly met a guy nicknamed Papataceo. It was at school the guy was very busy coming, going, beeing everywhere, so the school friends nicknamed him papataceo, an annoying mosquito. When Fellini thought about the papparazi name, he remembered the figure of his young years collegue, buzzing arround.

    Teachers spanish is so cute, Like when She said, malditos pendejos,( little bad ass ) give or take a vowel. :wink:

  • dmranger

    I am not being facetious but i would like to recommend the word Facetious :lol: :shock: :oops:

  • prospero811

    The sweet life.

  • prospero811

    Facetiously is one of the few words, if not the only word, to have all of the vowels in it, and in order, including the “sometimes y’ vowel.

  • prospero811

    That’s when you’re not really “fet” you’re just fet-ish.

    You have to think in italian,for example:
    papa = pope
    razzo = rocket
    paparazzo = the fast car of the pope = papamobile, a fast and small vehicle where you can be photographed = a photographer vespa = a paparazzi

  • Charles

    Hi Marina,

    La Dolce Vita means living the good life.

    What is the origin of the term “blue blood” as in royalty?

    I saw the original film “when I wore a younger man’s clothes”; a line from the Billy Joel song Piano Man.

    here’s a quote from the 1960 film:

    frighteningly prophetic, it seems… :sad:

  • pagedoll
  • micheldiego

    It’s funny you mentioned again the coke add, I was just thinking about this add after reading something from cap jack. Cap mentioned the fact that intelectuals have almost no children when low IQ people tend to have lots. This observation has been used in a comedy called “idiocracy”, where in 2400 or something like this everybody is retarded, acording to a kind of selection of the dumbest. Well the bigest problem they have is that crops are dying, and it’s because they don’t use water anymore, just 7-up or gatorade to drink but also to “water” the crops.
    Happily for now it’s OK probably because there is another “force” working in oposite direction: the Darwin award effect. You probably know the book the site or the movie, where guys eliminate themself in a self destructive stupid way.

    I thought she said she was working on that? She said she was working on many things. Hummm. I think she is taking on too many projects and not letting us help her out.

    Hey guys lets form a group of us that help Marina get projects done for her. You know like a teachers assistant(s). Btw I haven’t heard a thing from Jay. What the hell is he up to? Oh thats right training for the Olympics. Ok, so anyways I vote that we form a group and work on helping Marina do some of the leg work so she can focus on other projects. We have many talents and networks that can help the HFW school. We can gather information and propose it to Marina and if she says ‘Go’ then we make it happen. Marina will still maintain full control of the products and other things. What do you say guys? You think we could put our skills to good use and help HFW grow a bit more?

    Those are most of the sounds of Daily City, la dolce vita means with all those female cousins being changed and Marina’s “tit and title” after the playpen was repaired and guessing what warm milk felt like. The last we seen of her was palying in the lawn sprinkler, la dolce vita meant don’t turn off the sprinkler off if it was not a squirt from a the baby bottle nipple.

    La Dolce Vita means ” The SWEET LIFE”
    DOLCE means Sweet
    VITA means Life
    It refers to the italian way of life, enjoying the good life, good food, without worrying. This phrase entered the language following the success of the 1960 film La Dolce Vita. This was written and directed by Federico Fellini and starred Marcello Mastroianni, Anita Ekberg and Anouk Aimée

    Malditos Pendejos means in spanish “Damn assholes”
    Pendejo is the word for a pubic hair, and its meaning as a slang word varies from “sidekick” to “asshole”.

    And La Dolce Vita means The Sweet Life.

  • gio.forever

    Well, “Malditos” is the same to say “damned guys”.
    But “Pendejo” has a lot of meanings, that depends where country you used it. For example in my place; Perú, Pendejo means cunning and taim person but in bad way, like a bad boy. In Mexico I think it means a coward and overcatious person, a coward. If there’s any guy from Mexico who think I’m wrong please correct me, thanks :wink:
    So Malditos Pendejos means: Damned cunning guys :twisted:

  • gio.forever

    The main question about Football/Rugby/American football/Soccer is why Americans called a game played mainly with the hands “football”? That’s really puzzling to me. Then for what reason Baseball which is also played mainly with the hands is not also named “football” which would be the logical name for something played with hands. And why the english don’t call baseball “american cricket”? And why french who are not particularly English fans call “rugby” “rugby”? And for what reason “softball” which is played with a hard ball is played in the first place? Then if cuban start calling “beisbol” “baseball” will they be allowed to play the “world” series?
    I think I will follow Sir Winston Churchill: “No sports”

    Depends where country you use it. Pendejos in my country means cunning guys, but in Mexico, they use it to reffer a coward man.

    Hi, Mike

    Thanks for the thought. You know, it’s real easy to fall off the map with life sometimes being unpredictable and full of stress and turmoil. I am really grateful for friends like you who accept me for the asshole I truly am and still come asking me how I’m doing even when I ignore them, abuse them and call them nasty names.

    RR would you think the more new people that log on return make more sense in keeping the numbers up. Thats even if she is using them. I don’t know what her goals are so logging in might not be what she is looking for. Maybe new accounts might mean more to her. You don’t know.

    That sound like a great idea. If we had the word list that she is working on we could make question related to the current theme of the word. Or some drudgery work that kills much of her time.

    La Dolce Vita sounds to me like the sweet life. There is a Mexican (Spanish?) dessert or flavor called dulce de leche, which is sweet milk. It usually refers to rice or pudding, but is also a popular ice cream flavor.

    In Costa Rica there is a popular phrase, La Pura Vida, which I believe means the good life.
