Kidnap

Let me be the first to say…

wow, my internet is slow atm….

Second!

DANG!!!!!

Ok maybe Third then. My freaking computer is way too slow. Time to buy a new one again.

Lindberg baby kidnapping maybe, Marina. Am I right? 4th

Hi Marina!
I’m wondering why a Spelling Bee is called a spelling bee?
What does it have to do with bees?

With 4th of July this week, where did the word ‘Fireworks’ come from.

Would it kill ya to let me be first for once?

All the way from France…I-wasn’t-even-trying… :roll: <–bs

It’s not your computer it’s lag caused by all of us trying to get in at the same time.

Isn’t that quite obvious…

I watched the video, made a sandwich then came back and commented…

Because the spelling wasp thought it was beneath him and wanted nothing to do with it. The bee of course thought they could move a lot more honey witht he exposure.

Oh great, my favorite word to bring up bad child hood memories of my kidnapping. Naw don’t worry, I’m over it by now. :grin:

Great lesson Marina. I’ll have to forward this one to my sister.

Love the last part where Marina does her trademark snickering laugh. Its so cute! Make me crack up every time.

I know it’s like asking where cup-o-soup came from. Well, it’s a cup…with soup in it.

Marina,

That would be Lindbergh, sorry. I think I am right. Any alternative answers? It happend in 1932 and Bruno Richard Hauptmann was the kidnapper.

Phew, now I’ve got no homework for tonight!

Moowah!

lostforwords

You mean the Charles Lindbergh’s baby kindapping?

Marina are you a fan of basketball because my favorite player on my home team has just went an LA team I HOPE YOUR HAPPY :cry: jk

All I can think of is Patty Hearst but, I know that situation was
way – late. I saw some comments on the Lindberg baby. ?Maybe?

sneaky… :shock: lol

That might be but my computer is always this slow. Its getting very old. Im usually the one with the latest and greatest.

I hate you.

How did you do that? I live closer to her than you do. Your computer must be faster at running around the world and back than mine is.

Well Congrats anyways.!!! :grin:

HotForWords,

What a great video.
I found myself listening intently and asking question as you went along. :?:
And right away you had all the answers to my questions right in place. :razz: :roll:

Of course the penality goes back to the Lindberg case. :evil:
But I think, as of this week, that penalty has been removed for that crime by the Supreme Court. :shock:

Boris Badinoff where are you taking me?
To see Marina, COOL! :!: :!: :mrgreen: :oops:

Saw a sign for the HOOTERS restaurant:
said – “May the Fourth be with you !!”
Happy 4th of July, class !!!!!

That would have been the Lindeburg kidnapping, I guess.

MY brother is the teachers pet!!!! He just joined for gods sake! I hate him now too.

Never mind, Jack, now you’ve been in one of Marina’s videos too – or at least you boat has. Hehehe.

The animation was funny, Marina.

May I say I like the videos you shoot in front of the window of your place. It’s the best light for you, that’s why!

Have fun!, Be good! Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do…(that gives you almost unlimited latitude!)

Moowah (can’t resist it)

lostforwords

Hey wait a minute.
Do I have to kidnap Marina for my last KGB qualification? :?:
Humm fun kidnap for the weekend. :wink: :wink:

You didn’t cite me on the Lindbergh case wetsuit5–not trying to rub it in or anything….

What a hoot! :lol:

Ditto what I said to wetsuit5 Bob!

Charles Lindberg most definitely.

I got busy setting this to my desktop

That’s awesome! Why didn’t I think of that?

realy offtopic :???
I just FREAKING lost 61 gigs of music because of that stupid ,selfish Itunes!!!!! -.- aaaah stupid apple, wy can’t they make products like everyone else aargh :mad:

I c you removed the old hfw vids from itunes…

With the exposure

If you can have guilt by association, then why not fame by association.
Don’t stop believing.

Excuses, excuses….can’t we have the hi res version?

How do you know itunes didn’t remove them from itunes? :wink:

—>Slight & courteous bow, not wanting to stifle or interrupt the applause… :cool:

Who was the little freak that hide the kid under the steps in his back yard? Right down the street from the little girls house. And she died Right under the noses of the search parties. All over the News.

Well, Duh!

…he replied, as a hail of vegetables arced gracefully toward his head.

Only if Marina puts it out there!
I haven’t got it. wish i did :mrgreen:

“Spelunker”….”off the hook”!… “Out of the frying pan and into the fire”…

I post homework first, then copy from the rest of the class if I like their answers better. :razz:

Just watch it on YouTube, rate it, then come back here to play.

Try downloading photozoom pro 1.0 ,it’s not free ,but there are ways……….. lol , they claim they can zoom a post stamp in to a4 size withouth loosing image quality.
That ain’t true , but it does it slightly better then photoshop.

How did you lose it??

the podcasts? i don’t :???: let me say it again , I HATE itunes! can’t even use my ipod on 2 different systems ,well you can but it takes a lot of time -.-

That’s like chinise water torture……

Yassir! On my way! :mrgreen:

Still missing after fourteen months.

first my hardisk crashed, ( my whole 1tb life was on there -.-) my music was still on my ipod so i tried to put it on my new HD, it finaly worked , and i put it in to itunes, but stupid itunes decided to name all my songs ” unkown” so i had to fix that again, i got it fixed and then aaaaaaaah i don’t want to talk abouth it :cry:

Yeay, it’s still all over the news here in Europe, kinda sad.

My Nvidia card seems to do alright :mrgreen:
i could try to sharpen it, but I don’t
think those eyes could be made
any more intense. :shock:

Going by the top Marina was wearing I guess the next video will be “Voodoo”.

The trick is not to watch the video, just respond. However, I could have responded faster had I not watched the video to the end. That was dumb…those vital seconds…to be first with the correct answer would be hard to stomach. :shock:

you wish:P both first and second are form Europe :P hehe :grin:

I am wondering what the origin of ‘gob’ is. (Gob, meaning mouth).

lostforwords, don’t you think that Marina would be more impressed by a correct answer than by a crowd of sycophantic apple-polishers baying for her attention?
Do you really think she is so shallow?

Ok Miss M. you tormented us long enough I glade you got your laugh on us for the day. But you deserved it. Teacher playing a joke on her students :wink: I wish I could have waited but chores come first, sorry. :smile: I haven’t read the rest of the comments, but I think it was the Lindburg baby kidnapping. :smile:

Miss M. did you get ajax fixed. The site seems very slow today. I tried it on both of my computers one running XP pro and the other Vista and both are slow and I have broadband.
Thanks,
Mike

That would seem to apply being she has on a black blouse with skulls on it. Good observation Bob from somewhere other than Canada. :lol:

Marina says she takes them off of I Tunes so she can put them on videos to sell. If you had them on I Tunes then she couldn’t sell them. She needs to get rich too. :cool:

Going by the top Marina was wearing I guess the next video will be “Pirate” or “Wench” or “Swashbuckler”.

I think it’s the connections to co-comment and gravatar that are slowing things down. On several occasions reloading the page has hung with a message in the status bar saying “waiting for …” and then one or other of those two sites.

Also firefox sucks, it’s a laggard compared to safari. I thought I was prejudiced towards it, but I wasn’t. safari’s the one though it doesn’t like that co-comment thing, which I have failed to understand or really see the point of and it’s an ultrasnail too.

I get roughly about the same messages. One time it told me I commented twice on the same subject. Oh well :roll:

I would like to know the origin of the word “bong” ?

I said it below and elsewhere, but I agree, Bob, co-comment is ultraslow (and hard to fathom).

Hello Hotforwords,
I would be very happy if I could please request the word “Autism”.
My brother has it, and I want to have people understand what “Autism” is and what it means. Thank you so much,
Your #1 fan,
Jake (TheAutismSpectrum)

ChaCha you got it on those eyes. Man they are so bluetiful :cool:

New word :idea:

Dear Sir,

Gob cannot be found in the American slang idiom. I think it’s origin is in French slang meaning I found someone hard to take/swallow–je ne vous gobbe pas, monsieur–for example. This is archaic now in French only found in 19thc literature in the mouths of the aristocracy.

I guess, but visits the site about once a month. :mad:

Maybe your brother knows something we don’t Gm. :cry:

By the way how many brothers do you have on this site. Is Jack on here too. :smile:

My mentor Yoda was on last nigh. :cool:

it’s a single b in french, and the primary meaning is to swallow, to gulp down etc.

You can take that extra t and put it in my word nigh in the comments above this one. :lol: :lol:

Kid in English still means a ‘young’ goat.

It’s not just yours. I think it is the program. I am running broadband and a 3.6 gig computer and all the ram I can cram in it and mine is slow on this program. Oh well. :roll:

I would actually like the to request the word combination of “banana republic”, it came up in a book a read recently and I was curious how it came about.

Here I thought It meant to sleep with a goat ? And goats are liars.

RRRshole

The only way I have seen it used here was in place of wad. I have a gob of gum. Or a candy Gob Stoppers. It might be just a far southern slang. Like redneck speak. :wink: :lol:

Can I request the word Nil :shock:

I think toysjoe might have you at a crossroad on his predictions Bob. I can change my mind can’t I :?:

diabetes (suger problem)

Kid actors in America act precocious.   :smile:

Bob where is it you live, France, Germany, etc so I want make the same mistake again. :smile:

Homeland Security tinkering with “things?”

Probably nothing more than a hiccup. Servers from New York to Orlando zipping packets back and forth.

I have a friend of mine who has a son that has autism. He is so smart he got a full scholarship to Duke University. :cool:

Bob, think Jane. You? Tarzan.  :shock:

I always wanted to know why Americans say for example HEY GUYS or YOU GUYS for male and females. I don`t understand where does this come from.

You are probably right on the HomeLand Security thing. After the video Marina did on the KGB and spying and trying to get us to enlist. She was only kidding, but you know the fed’s computers pick up on a simple word and alerts them to it. :lol: :lol:

Until they become young adults… :roll:

Bob, Hum. I wasn’t mentioned in the video for I Co-posted a request in the ‘Cracker (Answer)’ and ‘Love’ blog for kidnap. superdanilchik, elpollo, and capman911 both requested the word also. I guess our requests where kidnapped Bob. :sad: I’ll just have to savor the boat captain kidnapping of Marina in the little animation.

Wait a minute. Maybe I should just kidnap Marina for historical 1600 reenactment. How much do you think I can get for her being sold as a slave? No I can’t do that! You kidding?!? I would just keep her for my personal slave. Now that sounds like fun! :mrgreen:
The floggings will continue until the Attitude aboard this ship improves!”“

hey Marina, i always hear people use the words milf to hot moms but i dont really understand the word, can you give some help :oops:

Bob lives in Aberdeen, Scotland in the British Isles.

To be fair this one is for Marina
“The floggings will continue until the Attitude aboard this ship improves!”

LFW, I switch back and forth between the two. There are many site ant Safari chocks on that FF does well. For example I get more features with FF on Gmail. I also have problem with the co-commenting thing. A few of other users here at HFW are still trying to figure out how it can be used. I also notice their system is slow. I get their own spinny thing when new data loads. And it sometimes takes days for my post to show up on their system. I like the concept of keeping track of my comments but I think they stall out on the method of going about it. Maybe in a few years they will figure it out.

Yes, the last video when I saw Marina smile I perceived that mischievous demeanor within her, too. I thought I was the only one who noticed.  :wink:

And I want to believe by this time our side has some computer viruses, or whatever, that can identify the Islamist knuckleheads, and doing so quicktime. I hope we’ve become as good with computers and cell phones as Annie Oakley was with a rifle.

These bad premonitions simply cannot ever happen.

sunnymale Diabetes has nothing to do with a “sugar problem.” It is a disease that has to do with the bodies ability to process the natural sugars in foods and give the body energy. Unless this is what you meant and then this rant was unneeded and i just mis understood what you ment by “sugar problem.”

Hello, I was wondering if you could find out the origin of the word sweet.

Since Marina only seems to post on the most recent video comments here, and her other posts can be found along the right hand side of the home page. If I post something and I get a response, I already get the email–those things are all I am interest in right now.

Amen

since you did kidnap i was wondering the word origin of babysit was. thanks so much!

Two contemporary cases that resulted in the death penalty were Joseph Smith, who kidnapped and killed Carlie Brucia, and John Couey, who kidnapped and killed Jessica Lunsford. Both cases occurred in Florida. The latter case led to the introduction of Jessica’s Law, which has been passed in 42 states. On a night where Marina’s “O’Reilly Factor” interview is replayed, it’s worth noting that Bill has led the charge to get Jessica’s Law passed.

Greeting ye lovely, :smile:
Well shiver me timbers lass. :wink:

Dear Marina,

Requesting “SKINNY DIPPING”

I am not going to cheat and look on Google. I seriously do not get why swimming naked would be called skinny dipping. The “dipping” is obvious….but what about the “skinny” part?

If it has to do with body type (which would be dumb…..duh!) then why isn’t there a “fat dipping” for the overweight dippers.

Thanks in advance for solving this one. I got to thinking about that word after hearing about a story of two skinny dippers swimming in a city water resovoir last weekend.

BoArgMir

It’s getting worse and worse: slower and slower…………. :???:

Maarina,

The answer to your question is – Lindberg Baby Kidnapping.

At the time the kidnapping of Charles Lindberg’s son was considerded to be the “crime of the century?. Public outrage was so great that many states enacted “Little Lindberg Laws” that mandated the death penalty for kidnapping, especially when great bodily harm or death occurred to the child.

That would be the Lindberg kidnapping.

:grin: WOW !!!!I can’t believe I was chosen to be the “Teachers Pet” . This is a great honor for me. The competition was fearse. There’s so many people to thank….I didn’t prepare a speach. I would first of all thank the Academy. Then of course Marina. ….My parents who believed in me and taught me to never give up hope!
Now If you will excuse me, I think teacher needs to talk with me.

Jack-ronimo?

The Lindberg baby is the answer.
I was wondering the origin of the word Proposal? ;-)

Could you do the origin of the word “kiss” or “lipstick”?

The Lindberg baby kidnapping; the baby just happened to be the child of Charles Lindberg Who was the first person to make a solo flight across the Atlantic Ocean.

That would have been when the Lindberg’s baby was taken!!!

Yes I can if you mean the skull and crossbones then yes

The answer is Lindbergh child kidnapping.

Let me know if you need her address :cool:

pissant

Your a fag who can’t even use spell check correctly. :lol:

There is fat dipping but no one wants to see or even hear about it.

Moms I’d Like to F@#k

It just comes down to laziness. We use to say “Hey girls” also but then you would have mixed groups and you would have to address them both. What a pain in the butt. So now ‘Guys’ just addresses any group of people.

Look at you being all hip with your little skully top on!…Loves it! :smile:

Lindbergh baby kidnapping

LOL!!!…Cheers DcD :wink:

I love your name and your work in the holy grail!

SInce we Use this word every time and i dont even know if its a word,
What does the word THE mean?

I’ve always been curious abiout the word “jones” used as a verb. It kind of works with the word “horny.” I have a raging “jones” for Marina. I recall hearing the term in my misspent youth 30 years ago, with people saying I have a Jones for some pot or I have a beer jones. Any clue? I’d LOVE to be the teacher’s pet some day. Thanks.

Remedial Wordsmith

Thank you

The Lindburgh Kidnapping

OOPS! Misspelled Lindbergh. Sorry.

duh… :???:

Marina – are you lowering the bar for the Maxim “readers” or what?

Zzzzzzzzzzzzz……..
Homework is easy Marina. It’s the Lindberg baby kidnapping…

I saw your interview on the O’Reilly Factor and I was very impressed! I’m a substitute teacher in two different school districts here in SW Wisconsin. I have had a lot of fun with the word ‘Octothorpe’. I ask my kids if they know what it is. The only ones who know it are the ones I’ve had in class before. I first found in on the Merriam Webster web site(www.merriam-webster.com). It is the name of the symbol #.

Another word you may want to ‘do’ is a word that I use to ‘hang’ my students in hangman. The word is ‘syzygy’, it means the alignment of celestial bodies, as in an eclipse. It’s fun watching their faces when they give up and I write the word on the board!

Take care.
Steve

Marina, how did the male member come to be referred to as a “Johnson”?

My guess would be that it comes from ‘dipping’ one’s skin, sans clothes. Good request, Bo!

Marina, where did the word “gay” originate from?

I have a word :grin: Narcism. I beleive it’s derived from the greek god Narcissus, but would love to see you feature it in a lesson.

Maia Marina, words request: ornithopter

narcissism

Annected? like connected, yet annexed at the same time? Annected for the crime? hmmmm I’ve looked it up, but found no answer….

Maia Marina, Words request: clapper

if you change the last number, there are 5 nice shots available at this site. ie. ……Marina01, 02, etc.jpg

kidnapped?, perhaps teacher should ask Teacher about the word kidnabbed.

not what it is; where the word originated

sniperskaya, one day Marina
is going to explain that and
all the other names, but,
you may have to wait until
you’re all grown up inside :mrgreen:

quijibo – Bart Simpson :mrgreen:

Y-you mean Maxim’s got words?? :shock:

ck its from Leo Nado De Narco

Up until now, I only had heard of a basketball jones…

I’m exacerbated to the enth degree! Does the word exacerbate have any relation to the word extirpate due to the -ate suffix? Marina, I would be more than obliged if you did such a video on this and also a lesson on suffixes so as to gain a more clear understanding of some of them – Thank you!!!!

Preevet, hello, sorry for my attempt at saying Russian hello in English but I’d like to request a word, well actually the name of a site, Youtube, and tuxedo

Marina, where did the word “gay” originate from?

[Reply] DO YOU REALLY WHAT TO KNOW? DO ya?

Homosexual Mens would flit and float about like Fairies, All Happy and GAY. People wanting to point out their oddness. Said; ” Look at the Happy and Gay looking Mens.”
Then it was shorted to ,” Look, Gays.”
The ” Happys” just did not work on so many levels.
There you go, Another lame attempt at humor. ( :shock: )

RRRshole

I hate bringing this up but what are the origin of the words shit and fuck? I hope I don’t get flagged for this. I am curious. :twisted:

Can one be ‘Disgruntled’ if one has not previously been ‘Gruntled’?

watching your latest investigation brought me to another question…what might be the origin of the word “investigate”??

Like when he says,…. I never had sex with ” THE ” Bitch.! :roll:
Should I be poking fun of our first Black President. NO?
Ok ……..He said; ” Duh hoE ” sorry.

RRRshole

‘yello marina, i’d like to know where did the “blues” music genre got it’s name. thanks! see’ya.

The one that gets to me is “Month”. I understand that it’s supposed to come from moon, but a month is longer than a lunar cycle. Close enough, though, until I found out there used to only be ten months. This puts a month at over a week longer. Were months called something else back then?

I’ll let you have this one RRR.

Piss-ant When you kill them, they stink like piss. :shock:

We just had another one step into the ring a few comments up,,,get ‘em!

can you do a video on: Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis?

plz? :lol:

Heyy :D
I was wondering the other day, since I was working outside round back, where the word “weed” came from, and why it has a double meaning, weed as in drugs and weed as in thorney annoying plants. Please investigate!!
-Henry

I thought it had to do with talking smack. ie, Stop your Gob.

Yea, but not your link. :???:

You are “smart as a fox” (and you are foxy..hehe :mrgreen: :mrgreen: ) which is the phrase i would like the origin of PRETTY PLEASE!!! i am a brand new fan, . thanx

Huuumm, Yah…… he’s hit right on top of the nail. … Blue Eyes.

The only one I can think of was the case of John Joubert. In 1983 he kidnapped two boys in Bellevue Nebraska. He was caught and prosecuted for the boys murder. After his conviction he was put on death row. After years of appeals he was finally executed on July 17 1996, by the electric chair.

My family lived here in Bellevue at the time he was on the loose on Offutt Air force Base, and my brother was a toddler. I don’t have to tell you how freaked out my mother was until he was caught. After my father left the military in 93 and we moved back to NE, my parents were surprised that he was still able to go through the appeals system.

In 96 when he was executed, I actually watched the news coverage of his execution as it was happening live.

I would hate to see Marina get kidnapped by any bad person.

Flagged? We are not in home room anymore. :roll:
Try a word worth her time, dude. cool,? totally gnarly,
peace out, dude.

It may not be worth her time, but I’m still curious…

I think it is the charles linberg kids kidnapping. also do you accept personal emails where i can get a response from you just have a question. I asked here already but maybe not the place to ask but still curious. :razz:

Hello my dear teacher!
I have been away for a while and are catching up on all your lessons… I want to connect to the AK-47 video and also the film “Blood diamond” that I just have seen. Not the most fun of subjects perhaps, but anyway – here goes.
Is there any truth in the statement they make in that film that the word “infantry” as in “foot soldiers” has anything to do with “infant” like in small children?? In the film they claim that it has something to do with childsoldiers, is that true and if so, from what war would that be??

Allways looking forward to your lessons!
Your dear student / Swedehunter

WRONG!!!

Go ahead and email me.. email is in the contact section.

Marina

I always heard it was For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge

I did these words in my Maxim radio show… and would like to do them on YouTube.. but YouTube is getting rather cautious these days…but maybe I can do them in a creative manner :-)

Hi Marina:

Horosho.

I think it would be challenging on YT, but it would get quite a few hits, but English swear words are tame compared to Russian ones. I know this from some exposure to Russians.

Spasibo

:twisted:

Michael ( Misha )

Physics , Right on, We should do …..Gravity , Really, something we can argue about. Kidnapping a little slow. She is really cute doing it. ( the video ) But.
Not to controversial. Not to many Pro-Kidnapping groups. Like a woman would be, Pro-Kidnapping.
The Right to Choose? Baby Setter or Stranger Lunatic Pedophile?

RRRshole

Kidnabbing sound more correct. To nab a kid? or to nap a kid.

never! I’d whip out my AK-47 and mow down everyone xD Which I do not doubt this weapon could actually do.(in single shot, burst, or automated fire :mrgreen: ) <— Guess what my vote was on this week’s pole. :P

The homework problem is too easy. Anyway, it was not of the best known kidnappings. It is the best known. Only the Patty Hearst kidnapping compares in the 20th century. The trial had newsreel reporters and was such a circus it led to the exclusion of cameras in the courtroom for decades. Also, although Bruno Hauptmann was almost certainly involved in the crime, he certainly did not get a free trial.

hey marina. although I was a little disappointed to not get mentioned when you did the “eavesdrop” video (i had requested that word on the website a while ago), i will definitely keep watching, and I have another word request.

This time, I would like to request the word “pimp”, since it does appear in my username. Thanks!

You don’t many American Truck Drivers do you. I would like to see you, ( Marina ) just do a video on all the 7 words yada, yada.
Give the XXXers a thrill and stop the need to ask anymore.

There I go being Pedy and Small again. I know go over to …lisanova’s
if I am not happy. :shock:

Come on Geronimo. Teacher and I are having a private lesson. She is teaching me Russian and I am teaching her AMORE’. Do not make her feel awkward because of her “crush” on me.

word request: where does the word heirloom in heirloom tomatoes come from?

lol

Hey Marina,
It is kendraacolors and i was just wondering if you could help me understand where this word came from: bodacious. I have heard it a lot for some reason so I just wanted to see if you could the origin for it and what not.
thank you:)

your student,
kendraacolors

Fuck is borrowed into english from the german work, “fricken” which means to strike.

Shit is an acronym for “Store High In Transit” from when they usedto ship dung in ocean frigets for fertilization.

hope that was correct…

Zareal

Sometimes you just can’t tell. “It’s time for Androgyny, here come Pat”.

That is a great picture of you on the beach. Now all you need is a ukulele to strum. UKULELE… what a funny word. I wonder where it came from… :wink:

CaptainJack.. you scurvy dog :mrgreen: … I think you could get a fair deal off Marina, she’s got really good teeth. The people who are into buying slaves are very picky when it comes to teeth, you know? it’s like they would get one to chew their food, I dunno!
And with this fine introduction… I wish to request SCURVY DOG… simply because I’m going to have fun listening to Marina saying scurvy :-), and also because it would make for a fun and attractive lesson for the whole family :D

i want to request the word “Dildo”…

Here, I did not know about this one? http://www.hotforwords.com/contact/
I just hit the reply button on her emails.

RRRumpy

I don’t know about everybody else but mine is name Johnson cuz it’s MAGIC !

Ah… almost entierly a nordic word then .. We still use the word “kid” for the young roedeer, even though we pronounce it diffently, the word “nappa” as in taking something is not very much in use but still is around .. and the famous kidnapping was the kidnapping of swede Charles Lindbergs son…. so even though we are a little land high up in the north, we do make some mark here and there.

By the way, as a comment for an older video … the vikinghelmets never had horns! They were “invented” in an opera in the 1800´s ….

I was just faking with you, all blue with nothing to do
……………………………..No link………………………………

zareal, Your shit acronym of Store High In Transit is and internet myth. Its a good story but a false one. There are no documents supporting that acronym.

Oh that sucks pimpbot5000!!! I am so sorry I missed your request! I have no idea how that happened! Pimp is a funny word.. I will def. have to do that one!! :-)

In what came to be referred to sensationally by the press of the time as “The Crime of the Century,” on the evening of March 1, 1932, 20-month old Charles Augustus Lindbergh, Jr., was abducted by an intruder from his crib in the second story nursery of his family’s rural Hopewell, New Jersey, home. While a 10-week nationwide search for the child was being undertaken, ransom negotiations were also conducted simultaneously with a self-identified kidnapper by a volunteer intermediary, Dr. John F. Condon (aka “Jafsie”). These resulted in the payment on April 2 of $50,000 in cash, part of which was made in soon-to-be withdrawn (and thus more easily traceable) Gold certificates, in exchange for information — which proved to be false — about the child’s whereabouts. The search finally ended on May 12 when the remains of an infant were serendipitously discovered by truck driver William Allen about two miles from the Lindberghs’ home in woods near a road just north of the small village of Mount Rose, NJ. The child’s body was soon identified by Lindbergh as being that of his kidnapped son. A month later the Congress passed the so-called “Lindbergh Law” (18 U.S.C. § 1201(a)(1)) on June 13, 1932, which made kidnapping a federal offense if the victim is taken across state lines or if the mails are used to demand ransom.

Assiduous tracing of many $10 and $20 Gold certificates passed in the New York City area over the next year-and-a-half eventually led police to Bruno Richard Hauptmann, a then 34-year old German emigrant carpenter, who was arrested near his home in the Bronx, NY, on September 19, 1934. A stash containing $13,760 of the ransom money was subsequently found hidden in his garage. Charged with kidnapping, extortion, and first degree murder, Hauptmann went on trial in a circus-like atmosphere in Flemington, New Jersey on January 2, 1935. Six weeks later he was convicted on all counts when, following just eleven hours of deliberation, the jury delivered its verdict late on the night of February 13 after which trial judge Thomas Trenchard immediately sentenced Hauptmann to death. Although he continued to adamantly maintain his innocence after his conviction, all of Hauptmann’s appeals and petitions for clemency were fairly quickly rejected. Despite a last minute attempt by New Jersey Governor Harold Hoffman (who had always expressed doubts that Hauptmann could have acted alone) to convince him to confess to the crimes in exchange for getting his sentence commuted to life imprisonment, the by then 36-year Hauptmann refused and was electrocuted at Trenton State Prison on April 3, 1936.

I just found an old post of Marina’s.. “I’m 27 years old.. I’m sorry if I don’t look that good to you..” Now who would even think that way?! I always used to think that Marina would get her first pension next year.. and maybe loose some of her teeth, oh and some of her memory. You know, don’t blame her, it’s the age. :grin: Kidding Marina, you know you can trust me even with your bank account. :-)

Key, this is my 3rd comment on this page and I skipped watching the video. That’s just not right.

Boobs,pussy,ass, naked,sexy and sex

you would, wouldn’t you?! :P hehe, horny devil —> :twisted:

Wheres my dinner “bitch”.

You both are wrong, and maybe even I.
The earliest cite I can find was in the OED dating from 1503
and Dictionary of Word Origins cites a proper name of ‘John le Fucker’ from 1250. ‘Fuck’ came to us the way most words sneak into the language, it jumped the fence from another language, was spelled and pronounced a bit differently in its new home and over time drifted into being a word recognized by everyone. It kind of takes all the fun out of it? Hu?

Hello Marina and Friends,

I just shot off another email to YouTube to prevent HotForWords’ videos from getting flagged.

The 200th dog video was flagged right after it crossed the million views point and third position for the week. This is an awesome milestone and was ruined by a malicious flagging of the video. :sad:

I courteously and kindly asked YT to permanently remove all flagging ability from HotForWords videos. Shouldn’t videos be innocent until proven guilty?

Maybe others could send letters to YouTube as well to stop this malicious flagging of HotForWords videos.

HI!

Can you explain the word “Couture” and how do i pronounce it?

Thank you
Reallynousername.

Hey Marina,
I’d like to know where the word “jeopardize” or “jeopardy” comes from.

Your student,
sevenpointsix

Charles Linberghs’ (младенец авиатора) был похищен. Я вспоминаю увидеть видео относительно трапа. Ist person @ 237!!!.

Oops sorry Teach, I guess I didn’t scroll down enough. Nor did I reference your radio show. My bad! :oops:

Yea, I think YouTube is very cautious in the past but I think now from the flack they received from the community they are a bit better about it.

Taken from their guidelines:

YouTube Community Guidelines
Respect the YouTube Community

We’re not asking for the kind of respect reserved for nuns, the elderly, and brain surgeons. We mean don’t abuse the site. Every cool new community feature on YouTube involves a certain level of trust. We trust you to be responsible, and millions of users respect that trust, so please be one of them.

With that stated and the way your present yourself as an instructor and not some low life. I am absolutely positive you can get away with it. Marina, don’t hold a thing back! Go for it! And if your not convinced then just type ‘fuck’ in the search window and you’ll find things like this music video. With 384,764 views if he where to get flagged he would have by now. Or this all time favorite classic video that I heard when I was in high school. Drum roll please…and in this corner weighting in at 2,903,970 views as of this post and still not flagged! Episode #12 “Using Proper Engish”!!!!

Any questions? :mrgreen:

P.S. I still hope you use your creative skills. Its going to be a very well watch video that should put you threw the roof on hits. Make it a good one Marina. We know you can do it. Take your time if you have too. Just do what you do best.

:mrgreen:

Marina, may I kidnap YOU? I would not give you back for any money, by the way. By the way, what’s the origin of “by the way”?

pedantickarl ,
Unfortunately Marina is on top of the mountain. Now everyone is going to be gunning for her. Stabbing her in the back . Doing what ever it takes to bring her down. YT doesn’t care. They have no problem with the rabble destroying her. She is only one person and disposable. But making 75,000 viewers mad is another thing. Remember Susan Summers? Who?? Exactly, Google her. She was very big in the 70s

Gravity doesn’t exist. No one has shown me yet that the particle ( the graviton) is responsible for the existence of gravity. But hopefully when the new Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in France goes on line this year. That question might be soon answered after they find the Higgs boson.

i don’t think that bable fish has all the bugs worked out. sure am glad we have a linguistics expert here. glade that the big building went out of business, so i won’t ask them for directions anywhere Tower of Ziggurat

I think he was so nervous that he forgot his spell checker.

Thats funny you mention that term. There’s the link to the story for everyone else that didn’t hear about it. Pair caught skinny dipping in Portland reservoir

Thats a good request BoArgMir. I myself has always wondered about that term. I tried just to shorten the word to Skin Dipping so I could understand it better. I would venture to guess that Skin was used first and skin’ny’ was added on later. :neutral:

Mury, I have the exact same issue! I like to say Hey guys and hey gals. or Hey guys and gals.. Yea its weird. Like geronimo said, its a pain in the butt. I hear more and more women calling each other guys. Maybe is some kind of equality thing? Oh knows? I just try to adapt my language to the people who surround me.

Yes I agree Bob, co-comment and gravatar are slowing things down. I thought it was just me and my old computer. But to hear others having the same problem make me wonder.
I watch the bottom of my browser and seeing the same message as you ‘waiting for…’ and ‘Transferring’ etc. Its getting so slow now I like click on submit and I got and get something to eat. IT feels like the 56k modem days.

“Fat dripping” was what we got fed on as kids. It’s the congealed fat that drips into the tray when you roast a joint of meat, and thrifty Mums in wartime Britain used to spread it on toast for their kids, because other spreads were not available due to rationing.
The story goes that Mick Jagger is so skinny because his Mum took this economy too far, and fed him nothing but dripping on toast, leading to the well known English proverb, “Constant dripping wears away a Stone.”

It was an interesting Freudian slip, the last four letters indicating what was foremost on his mind when anticipating his meeting with teacher. :razz:

I was waiting for someone to comment on Marina top. I’ve been reading through 200+ comments to find this. I notice the blouse right off the bat. As I dress up as a pirate many times, I tend to pick up on things. I have many t-shirts and pajama pants with pirate stuff on the. I had a good collection long before the movie came out. Since the movie came out now I can find even more cool stuff. There is even a store on the water front of Seattle called Pirates Plunder.
Now that I know Marina has the proper uniform, I might let her aboard my ship someday. Arrry matey.
Oh don’t forget people. Talk like a pirate day is September 19th. Only 77 days left to practice.

puzzling…well sir, Mr. flewwelilin, i don’t think that i comprehend. surely you were not addressing me,…..and i only speak for myself. since this is not a drive up menu/ take out, but internet, i don’t get it! well, welcome to HFW if you are new here. food to eat? hungry? maybe you got the wrong connection. and i just don’t get that b-word thing. scarcasm back at you, no. i talk to my cat and comprehension = 10%. i tell my crabgrass to die= 50%. i heard once that if you give respect= then you get it back. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Respect

Your kidding right? Thats a big marketing no no. :roll:

Damned YANKEES…YANKEE Doodle…YANKS,as they say in Brittan.

The word I am requesting is “yankee”.

I’m a big fan and I love what you do. Thank you for a job well done.

Gravity certainly doesn’t exist in this classroom – quite the opposite, there is only Levity (except for when someone takes exception to another’s humour and wishes them an early grave).
As to a seed being an ornithopter, I doubt it. An Ornithopter is a flying machine that works by imitating the actions of a bird’s wings (same root as ornithology=the study of birds).

to Wind-up someone? why is it the same word as wind?

Congratulations davecodave on being randomly selected ass teachers pet. Well I hope you chock on it. LOL. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

And the phrase, “Going like the Clappers”.

Thats so very cool geronimo! I even booked marked it. :wink:

I used to live in Aberdeen, Washington for about 12 years then I discovered the outside world and move out.

Your logic is flawed; masturbate also has the -ate ending – are you masturbated to the Nth degree? If so, you may not be smart enough to get a degree. :lol: :razz:

Wow the 4th will be here tomorrow. I haven’t even made any plans yet. damn! I might have to motor to Lake Union and anchor out for the show.

Word request: Bazooka. It’s just such a fun word to say.

hehehe yea it would be funny if she did a scurvy video. I’m not sure if she could say it.. No wait. She can pronounce more words than I can. Ok it would be fn to hear her say scurvy dog with that accent. :grin:

obviously you didn’t read the word list. :evil:

The word I would like is ‘DUDE’, as in ‘Whats up dude?’

Eactly what is a ‘DUDE’?

Yea bable fish is very buggy. Now that they where bought out who knows what I will become? Maybe a lot worse.

Was that the prototype for the leaning Tower of Pizza?

Hi beautiful lady! How about the word “ventriloquist”?

Hi shawn

Do you mean ‘enacted’?

Steve Groene after Joseph Edward Duncan III’s hearing Aug. 23. Duncan is charged with kidnapping and murdering some Groene family. And this is the famous kidnapping :smile:

WOMEN WILL NEVER BE ON TOP IF THEY KEEP MEN LET THEM CALL GUYS…AHHAA…

I think if you are a woman you shouldnt agree with guys! Hey guys!
Anyone get what I am saying lol…

You may have flown well in, but if you’re going to misbehave you’ll get thrown well out.

HAS ANYONE THOUGHT ABOUT WHY DONT WE SAY HEY GIRLS INSTEAD OF HEY GUYS?

YOU SEE..DOUBLE STANDARDS. WOMEN SHOULDNT ALLOW IT HAHA:)

Marina, why not do some words in Russian with the English explanation and have us try and guess what the word is?

The Lindbergh kidnapping

Hi Marina, Would you be kind enough to make a video about the word “Cyborg”.

Homework:
I don’t quite know but i think the most famous kidnapping is “The Lindbergh Kidnapping”.

PS: I’m Norwegian and noticed that you had a norwegian word in the movie, something i like about you is that even if any word u say in other languages you don’t know isn’t pronounced excactly right (A), you atleast dare to try pronounce it. I would never do that and upload a movie about it on the internet where you get thousands of people watching your movie. I’m a pussy that way.

And, If you don’t want to find the origin of the word “Cyborg” would you maybe consider “pussy” (the “scared and don’t dare to do things, pussy”, not the “down there pussy”, nor the pussycat-pussy) as another word?

Thanks, Veldiz!
Sorry about my english if there’s something that’s spelled wrong.

YES!!! Woohoo!!! I know it may sound a bit childish but… YEEHAAA my name is up there :shock: :mrgreen: :razz: :lol:

I am actually very surprised about the origin of this word, I thought my theory was partly correct but I was shocked when I saw that it was tottaly irrelevant!

Thanks HotForWords! You are my favourite teacher =D

:neutral: i got a word… MUSIC. whatsup with that word?

:cool: Marino4ka confirmed i was right indeed,and my Swedish friend too.I’m happy because i did not prevent you from doing a nice video about this! :smile: By the way was also Charles Lindbergh of Swedish descent :?: i ‘m not completely sure but i really think so… :neutral:

The Kidnapping of the Lindbergh baby made it a Federal crime to abduct a child.

Lindbergh was the world famous aviator whom became the first to ever cross the Atlantic Ocean in flight.

Bruno Hauptmann, was found guilty of the abduction and electrocuted for the crime. Hauptmann proclaimed his innocence through the entire ordeal.

Are you referring to the Lindberg baby kidnapping as the famous kidnapping that resulted in the death penalty?

Software I would like to know were that came from.

you are referring to the Lindberg baby kidnapping

I think it was the Lindbergh kidnapping.

I just did this in the survey, but I’d like to hear about the word “fair.” It has two senses, or blondness or light-skinned and of honest and unbiased. Does the second sense derive from an association with the first, and, if so, why does this word get a pass from people objecting to bias in words–as in objections to seminar (ovinar?), to the use of neutral “he” (but “guys” gets a pass for some reason)?

Sorry roadrunrnch, I edited your comment.. my website takes email addresses and obfuscates (that’s a funny word!) them.. so that email harvesters can’t harvest them.. but it doesn’t seem to automatically do that in the comments. So I edited your comment to remove it. Hopefully the scanners didn’t get that email address yet. I put an email address for the dogs on YouTube for about 30 minutes the other time and that email address is already spam infested!

Alright! I can help a little.

Two questions, to be taken separately.

Where does the ‘s’ in ‘iSland’ come from?

One, two… probably once pronounced as spealt – ‘one’ like ‘own’, two as t-woe. How did ‘one’ gain a ‘w’ sound, and how did ‘two’ lose it?

I would like to know the origin of the word “felicity”. It has two different meanings, doesn’t it? According to my friend from Australia, the word doesn’t mean anything as an English word to Australian people except for a girl’s name, and she told it might make sense to Americans. I think the word is very interesting to you, Marina, as a linguist. Please do it.

That would be good sniperskaya but some pupils on here know Russian real well, plus there is a program called Babel Fish that will translate the word for you. Kinda like cheaten. Hey cheaten thats not a bad idea. :smile: :cool: Peace my friend. :grin:

It’s nothing to be sorry about if you can’t speak norwegian, I think I heard someone say it’s one of the thoughest languages to speak, but it can be I’ve heard wrong :smile: and, acctually “Norge-speak” as you call it, is in norwegian “Norsk” :P

But now i shall out and lick some sun :cool: :cool:

I have a word request Marina. I would like to know about the word “Mojo”. As used in the Austin Powers movies.

Obfuscate: 1.) to confuse, bewilder, or stupefy 2.) to make obscure 3.) to darken. Synonyms: muddle, perplex, cloud

Something I learned as a proofreader is that in order to do the job well, you need many dictionaries from different times in history. At thrift shops, over the course of several months, I collected a good selection of old out-of-print ones for looking up those little-used words still in use by older people, etc.) AND different specialties or demographics like a law dictionary, a Scrabble dictionary, a dictionary of musical terms, etc. But the one place I always look first is the big fat one with a whole lot of entries. In this case, the Random House College Edition, 1973. It’s not the biggest in the house, just the most convenient to use. Usually, I don’t have to look further. In other words, it’s not the number of dictionaries you look in, it’s the size of the dictionary you find it in.

I’d like to know where and how the word “fireworks” came to be. I’ve always wondered about that…

Chicks can fly too. :wink:

Wow! What color is the sky in your little world?

I am very curious abut the word hiccup!! What the origin, meaning andso on:)

i would also love to know the true meaning of the word kiss and when and where it came about…would be a good one since you always blow kisses in your vids

It comes from the greek word ‘pornia’ which means, to fornicate.

In early 1900 Charles Linberg baby boy was kidnaped and killed the
person who comited the crime was sentenced to death.

hey marina, would love to know the derivation of cacophony. great word, but it can’t mean the sound of caca, or crap, lol. altho that basically is what it is :D

Hej veldiz,
Det var et morsomt Norske uttrykk som jeg hadde aldrig hørte før.

But now i shall out and lick some sun.

It reminds me of the French expression for window-shopping – they say they are “going to lick windows.”
I didn’t find Norwegian difficult to learn, but that’s because I learned Danish first, and that is difficult because they mis-pronounce the first half of every word and swallow the second half. :grin:

Sorry I had no idea that I was giving out anything that was not available to anyone and everyone. My OP was the safest way I thought to give him what he wanted. But then you said to eMail you? So …. No matter, Sorry again. I’ll go set in the corner now and be good

I found a website somewhere that posted she was born in December 1980.

Capman, what dictionary did you use? I found that word in http://dictionary.reference.com

That is an interesting word. I think I should add it to my vocabulary and start using it more.

These are the biggest words IT can spell. Only a 12 year old would need these words explained. As to…….. he..it, or sh..it what ever it is. Check out the Lessons She has already done. Duh …ok?

The fourth of July holiday weekend server slow down is starting
i can get into yahoo, but i can’t get my mail as of 30 mins ago
tried restarting Firefox – no joy. same java, database errors…

Normally I’d slap you around a little,
talkin’ to a lady like that… :!:

since this is a holiday, I’ll go one
and grant you a boon – but you’ve
got to mend your ways!!!

check out the structural dynamic
loading characteristic of this bikini!

now you can’t say i wasn’t nice to you…

Yea Labbatt, I would (and maybe other students and friends) go rescue her ( I have a feeling that Marina could almost rescue herself, at least out smart the abductors), then I would beat the heck out of the guy until he was nearly dead and turn him over to the police.

Chemikal, the hand is a much better weapon. First off your target will receive more pain than with a bullet. Second you can carry your hands anywhere and not have to have a weapons permit. Third, the satisfaction of using Kung Fu on the bad people.

On the lighter side, she can’t be kidnapped. One she’s not a little goat. Second she isn’t a kid anymore. So with those facts presented, Teach is very save from such a thing happening. :mrgreen:

it’s actually a portemaneau
word – corrupted
prestressed + chin bar
Stick around, She comes around. :mrgreen:

so much deja vu – dizzy…
how do you keep up???!! :!:

I Knew this would happen, again!
you JUST upped it a week ago, yes?
success has a price, dunnit? :mrgreen:

Huh? how did this get here…? :roll:
sorry, dude – routing glitch?

:shock:
Check out the library
on her YouTube for
lessons – think you
missed some… :mrgreen:
Woo hoo!

pedantickarl, It looks as if the flag has been removed. I didn’t think the flag would last very long. :smile:

Just for you – you can Google anything these days :mrgreen:

maybe it was like this? Yippee Yay!

“Man ought not be able to sing that high” – Woody Paul

I have a lovely red pencilbox!

Mel, I think you have your flags mixed up. I think BillyB would agree. You have mixed up FIA rules with Nascar, Indy and a few others.

I remember the days the internet was very young and there was really nothing of use on the net.

billyb – Chicklettes sounds like background music
for a fight scene in a Tarantino-Rodriguez flick,
maybe – “The Machete”? :idea:

bob- hey bob, good things chickens (and cows)
cannot fly (and-you-know-why-so-there) :mrgreen:

isn’t that a traditional Russian folk dance? :mrgreen:
nah!
how ’bout this?

I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I am SO sorry!
the whole dead thing was a bad rumor
oh man, i am sorry i said that….

thanks wikipedia – wish i looked
there, first

if we start now, we could maybe get Marina
a nice Chia herb garden for her birthday – LOL
hmm.. Sagitarius or Capricorn, my brother’s
a Capricorn….. …. :mrgreen:

whoops! don’t use < and the opposite
to delimit your words or they disappear!
.. (it is a puzzler) :roll:

Only if you live in New Mexico!

This is not NASCAR, not FIA, not Indy, not Kart…
I am not confused – these are what we are using
for Sportsline Tracktime, NASA, FARA, SCCA, etc.
Roadcourse, baby – not ovals!

Isn’t this how Hillary met Bill? :mrgreen:

That’s a good word beef. Why does it mean meat and other meanings :?:

Got your back Bob, anytime :!:

Marina,

I’d like to know where the phrase, knock on wood, originated.

Thanks

hey there sexy u are fine marina how tall are u?

i dont like it when my G-sibs are napping as it means i get to hang round with their parents more, you know, adults talking about the norm.
Joseph says hi to you Marina and asks if you could kindly kidnap him!!!!! :wink:

so to nap is to take something away or to steal why do some people call the bag they are carrying a nap sac is the bag full of stuff that they have stolen so what is a nap sac.like matalexwolf from below would you put me me in your nap sac.

I’m not sure about Marina not being a kid anymore. Ingrid Bergman was a kid in Casablanca, right? Here’s lookin’ at you, CaptainJack!

Hey pimpbot5000 she is sorry she missed your name on the video. But when the TA’s sit down and do word requests we check through hundreds of comments about word requests. When try very hard to remember the members who requested the words and how many people asked for the same word. We overlook some, sorry. That’s what we are doing now is finding requests and how many people ask for the same word. We will probably miss a few on this go around. It’s not cause she doesn’t like your word or you it’s just an error on our or her part. Thanks for understanding.
Mike ATA.

Some of her entries focus on common everyday words such as irony and panties,

WHO EDITED THIS WIKI

Why do I kidnap my time? The snowbanks should be nationalize. Party for goats and no lions invited. Laudable love is laughable…there you go another ransomed word exploited :razz: :roll: …word request( kettle of fish)

I would like to have an explanationa of the word [ scholar] as it both can mean a student, a person who are in the process of learning and a person of knowledge, who already have studies in depth a particular subject.
