    Did you see “The Hunger”? It’s a sexy vampire movie (very 80s!) with Catherine Deneuve, Susan Sarandon and David Bowie. You would be perfect for the remake!

    I am sure melikadothechacha wil find all the right clips!

    HI Marina. What does slapperpunk mean? I know it’s a real word but the OED disagree with me!

  • voxin2

    You’re beautiful inside, and out. Thank you for taking time to reply, and keep the education coming.
    By the way, I belong to an A Cappella, Acappella, Acapella, A Capella, Acapella or A Capela? chorus in Northern California. This fourth of July, we took third place in an international chorus competition in Nashville Tenn. In celebration of this monumental achievement, would you run down the root of this very peculiar word for me? We of Voices In Harmony would be honored. We’re all huge fans, all 100 of us. Thank you Marina, You are fabulous.

    My brother seems to be a bit of a vampire seeing that he works at night all the time and sleeps all day….

    Nocturnal is a good word to describe my brother – is nocturnal a Latin-derived word or am I just pulling that out of my hat???

    Dear Marina, I’ve been a subscriber since July 3rd, and this is the first time you tried to frighten me! You look very nice in your red dress and hardly seem to truly be that bad. I saw a recent post where you said you were size 34C, and have a 23″ waist, which is very slender and beautiful! So, my Dear Teacher, I hope you win the poll for the Blu Jam Cafe, and as a reward, they treat you to a very nice meal! I look forward to seeing more of your happy videos and fewer of your frightening ones! I think you are a happy person who likes to make others happy, too!

    You got that right! I just sounds more gritty, open, and loose…dig it!…I’m currently looking for a version of rock n roll by Lou Reed/ Velvet Underground that sounds a little snapped up.

It almost sounded like The Dandy Warhols but I’ve searched to no avail… had the same sound as something lkie this :arrow: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvj9i7wnFtA …any clue?? :???:

  • lostforwords

    Yeah I loved Pete Murphy and that junkie, but good looking thing he had back then. The Underground’s Rock n Roll is so classic. Don’t know the version you mean, but I’d like to hear it when you find it. The Dandy Warhols’ cut is a straight up steal of that old warhorse Brown Sugar in the intro. What follows: Cali pop. Not enough edge for me….They’re not livin’ it….hmm seems to be a theme here. Bauhaus, Underground, and the Dolls (love them too): all heroine bands…

  • watch4

    Hey Marina! Its kind of a perverted word, but I have always wondered where the word Masturbait has come from! I just don’t see how the word or anything in it relates to….the action itself. Its got nothing to do with vampires…but I think its an interesting word :oops:

    Doug,
    The orchid is not gone. She was just filming in her bedroom! I notice the head board right away. Its very similar to what mine looked like. I loved that head board because it has some foam in it. Great for when you bang your head on it at 3am, or any other times. Oh I love the candle. Its just so perfect! Awe… very nice… the woman has taste..

    Stokes,
    Well I was trying to piece all the clues together but I haven’t been able to put my finger on it. Im very distracted with work right now. I guess thats my excuse for not putting the pieces of the puzzle together. I think I need to buy another box of post it notes.

    All,
    Well its 10:26pm and I need to eat. Weird hu? I was never a morning person. I love the nights; I can get much work done without any distractions. Oh I just remembered something. I was called the ‘Prince of Darkness’ when I worked on the Cruise ship Island Spirit. Why? Well I was the night Captain so my day would start at 7pm and I would get off at 7am. The boss would always introduce me to the passengers as the Prince of Darkness. Hummm… very interesting, very interesting. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Thank goodness they weren’t real except for the lizard that was on my stomach when I woke up from a nap I took while trying to stop feeling so terrible and seeing things that weren’t even there. The ONLY time that ever happened…well, except when they gave me some narcotic after I broke my leg. But at least I was in a hospital then.

    can you please investigate the word orgasm.

  • http://www.dictionaric.com dictionaricdotcom

    Marina ! I think nevertheless that the clues are in Romania and Ukraine : VAMPIRE has a prothétic V infront of UPYR’ = УПЫРЬ .
    In ancient Slavic V prothetic is frequent : UGOL’ / VUGOL’ , UGOR’ / VUGOR’.
    In my opinion VAMPIR in Romanian is taken from the ancient Slavic OM+PIR “the one who drinks/eats blood”. Then the word came international since novels were written about Dracula and other Romanian myths.

  • http://www.dictionaric.com dictionaricdotcom

    CONSPIRACY is taken from the Latin CON-SPIRAT-IO like RESPIRATION, PERSPIRATION etc.
    To CONSPIRATE means “breathing with”, “sharing the same air, the same spirit”.
    Latin CON = with + SPIRATIO “breathing”.

    Hey there Marina I’m a new fan I just started watching your videos and I really like them. I wanted to ask for a request of a word that is so simple yet I want to know where it came from. The word is “Game”. Oh and there is this word that I saw in some subtitles the other day from this movie while I was flipping channels. It’s called “Einherjar”. Do you think you can help me out?

  • roadrunrnch

    Marina,
    Reading some of the posts, It seems a lot of attention is payed to your back ground.
    May be you need to make friends with some local artist and hang their work behind you.
    Or put up a wall unit behind you and have people send you ( Via. P.O box ) Little nick knacks to fill it. Something new now and then.
    Or just do more close ups. No one will be looking past your Eyes. *>*

  • Bob

    I, too, have heard this , and I’ve deliberately avoided looking it up in the (vain?) hope that Marina will do this word.
    The suspense is killing me.

    I never knew vampire was in so many languages! I was wondering if you would be so kind as to tell me where the word “surd” came from. It means a voiceless sound or an irrational number in mathematics. I’ve also heard that a Greek or Roman goddess was called Surd and she was some form of evil that committed evil deeds for the simple reason of just for the fun of committing evil deeds. I’ve noticed this word isn’t in many dictionaries so any information you find would be quite helpful! Wow long post!!

  • knomon

    Привет Марина, I just found you and I wonder why untill now, ’cause your videos are very interesting, cool, and educational…

    Well, I’d like to propose “Religion”. I once did a litle research about that word and it seems to be surrounded by debate due to religion matters and interests… So it wold be great if you coul shed more light on this issue…

On has to watch out for ones self when around them damn critters. One day I was sitting on my patio chair feeding this one squirrel. I stopped feeding him, and he jump up on the bench and started to yell at me at the top of his lungs. :shock: I jumped out of my chair and ran inside the house. 3 minutes later his gang showed up at my glass door. I think the little one was carrying a gun! I have since moved from the town they call Lacey. The wild life there is really a tough crowd to be around. :mrgreen:

    I eat mushrooms in my salads. I drink lots of tea. Mushrooms as tea? Yuck! … You saw imaginary things? Wow…. Well this one time in the Navy, my friend and I stayed up for 72 hours. I remember seeing little critters run around the mess decks of the ship. I saw rabbits, gophers, squirrels with bling on them, rats, and all other kinds of things.

    I had cocaine shot up my nose once. I got into a friendly fight and broke my nose. The doctor had to shoot this, what looked like a can of WD-40 with a red straw on the end, up my nose. This yellow goo came flowing back out. They then proceed to set my nose. They got set somewhat ok but they said they would have to re-break later on it to get it set better. I refused! The doc gave me a paper to use in case I had to take a UA test, because I would have surely failed that exam!

    Dearest Teach,

    A very amusing lesson (as always!). You might take a look at your fellow academic Katherina Wilson’s work on this etymological research. She goes back a bit farther and unravels some of the mystery in Greek and Turkish origins. The History of the Word “Vampire”, Katharina M. Wilson, Journal of the History of Ideas, Vol. 46, No. 4 (Oct. 1985), University of Pennsylvania Press. Naturally, I trust you on this one

    BTW, I am still recovering from the HUGE and DELICIOUS organic cappuccino from Bluejam. What a great place! As I went there yesterday straight from LAX arriving form Seoul I was zonked from the flight. The food and coffee were a wonderful antidote to fatigue. Come to think of it how abut a piece on the origin of the term: JETLAG? Remedies would be most welcome.

    Hi lostforwords,
    What do you mean, “don’t I get the high quality version on utube”
    Does it mean that you see the HQ link and it doesn’t work for you, or are you saying that there is no HQ link?

    If you see the HQ link, but it doesn’t work for you, then you may need to upgrade your Flash player.

    If you don’t see the HQ link, but you want to see the video in HQ, then here is what you can do.
    tack on the following code to the video URL: &fmt=18

    For example, take the “Clammy Hands” video.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0oN4YWNVNw

    Notice that there is no HQ link. However, if you tack on the code you get.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0oN4YWNVNw&fmt=18

    Notice that there is now a link that says “Watch in std quality”.
    This trick may not work for some of the older videos.

    Hi pedantickarl,

    This is what happens: when the video is first posted, there is no HQ button (for me anyway). It only shows up later. I don’t understand why…

    But I’ll try your fix.

    Thanx.

  • http://bphaynes.tripod.com/ elliott610

    upon further research….
    The word vampire has its roots in the Mediterranean languages. The earliest reference to the word arises in the slavonic Magyar from vam, meaning blood, and pir for monster. Blood monster does describe the vampire on a general meaning. Of course, their is more to it.

    Vampire’s now unflagged…

  • pedantickarl

    Don’t quote me on this as Google information is very sketchy.

    If you notice, the HFW “Clammy Hands” video has not HQ button link.
    The HFW “Killer Tomatoes” video does have a HQ link.

    I believe, my guess is that the HQ link is either a user function (i.e. HFW) which can be invoked by her, or it is an automatic YT function based on the quality of the original uploaded video.

    In other words, if the video uploaded is LQ, then there might not be a HQ link. But if the video is uploaded in 2x or higher quality, then the link might appear. There are some articles on Google that seem to indicate this, but the exact details aren’t clear, yet.

  • lostforwords

    That has been my experience, so you’re right. The video upload should not be compressed too much or the HQ button will not show up. Marina seems to have uploaded LQ in the past and switched sometime to less compression. Good idea Marina! The itunes versions are the best quality relatively, but only 4 or 5 of the most recent are awailable (I’m becoming a wampire!) at any one time.

  • lostforwords

    But this still doesn’t explain the late arrival of the HQ button….which does decide to show up eventually.

  • pedantickarl

    I can’t find “my” video on youtube :/

    haven’t you posted the video for the word cup yet?

    I would love to know the origin of that :)

  • James

    Hi Marina, I have looked around for this origin and it does seem that nobody knows where it originated, however I did find this article which may prove slightly helpful

    “vampire” is from the Slavic “vampir” or “vampyr” and first appeared in
    the 1600s in the area of what is now Bulgaria and Yugoslavia on the
    Balkan peninsula. However, attempts to trace back the origin of the
    Slavic “vampir” are still under dispute. The theory currently favored is
    that “vampir” came from “upir”, which first appeared in print in a 1047
    CE East Slavic (Old Russian) manuscript in which a Novrogordian prince
    is referred to as “Upir Lichy” (Wicked Vampire). Tracing the source of
    “upir” and its Slavic cognates (i.e., upior, obyrbi, upirbi, obiri) is
    even more controversial, fraught with many theories but little documented
    evidence.

    For example, Franz Miklosich, a late 19th century linguist, suggested
    that “upir” is derived from “uber”, a Turkish word for “witch”. Andre
    Vaillant suggests just the opposite–that the Northern Turkish word
    “uber” is derived from the Slavic “upir”. More recently, Jan Perkowski,
    who has done a great deal of research on the vampires of the Slavs,
    also favors a Slavic origin to the word.

    But even amongst those who lean towards a Slavic origin, there is
    considerable disagreement. Kazimierz Moszynski suggests that “u-pir” is
    from a Serbo-Croatian word “pirati” (to blow). Aleksandr Afanas’ev points
    to the Slavic “pij” (to drink), which may have entered the Slavic
    language from the Greek, via Old Church Slavonic. A. Bruckner proposes
    Russian “netopyr” (bat).

    Милая Мариночка,this is definetely one of your finest works so far.. It seems that maybe the most plausible origin of the word vampir has to be traced back to the Kazan Tatar word УБЫР(ubyr)=witch.then from Tatar we had our word упыр which gave to the Magyar language the word vampir…. :cool: Anyway thinking about Blue Jam café i immediately found something very interesing to discuss: the word CAPUCCINO,it would be so cute Marina,if you could invent a nice game out of it :!: :cool:

    I remember this one gal. I think her name was Dairin. She worked for Horizon Hobbies (They sell Radio Controlled model airplanes, Cars, etc) as a sales associate. She had the sexiest voice I have ever heard over the phone. Her voice could make any man drop to his knees as if he heard the voice of Venus (The Roman goddess of love and beauty). The store owner (Bill) was buying stuff we didn’t need in the hobby store. I asked him why did he buy such and such. He said Dairin called. Well that was enough for me. No man could resist the force of the goddess Dairin. No man… :shock: Well she made it up to Senior Sales Management in like about 6 months it seemed like. I met her at a trade show years later and the voice didn’t match the looks we had built in our imagination. But we didn’t care. Later we met up with her husband. We told him his wife had a very sexy voice. He said, oh she has you under her spell too? Yea about $10,000 dollar of merchandise we don’t need. We all chucked… :lol: :lol: :lol:

    I’d like to draw your attention to the claim that BRRRam Stoker (curiously familiar name – a portmanteau of RRRoadrunrnch and stokesjrj1) was inspired to write his novel “Dracula” by a visit to one of my local landmarks, Slains Castle at Cruden Bay near Aberdeen, Scotland.

  • Bob

    Funny that you should ask about this, foxbow15, because the Oxford English Dictionary defines “douche” as a jet.
    That is, a jet of, for example, water applied to the body, usually for medicinal purposes. So a douchebag would presumably be a bag for collection of the … ummm … substances washed away by the jet, similar then to a colostomy bag.

    Making love had until pretty recently a sense that had nothing to do with sex. You here it often in old movies or songs. “Oh yes, X made love to me the other day…”. When it shifted to a coital meaning and why I don’t know since it used to refer only to preliminaries.

    Having sex is also bizarre. Sounds so impersonal and passive. You can have a cup of coffee, but sex? So basically, I would say we have to put both “making love” and “having sex” into the euphemism category.

    As you go through life, James, you will find that a certain percentage of people will hate you, whether you deserve it or not – you can’t please all of the people, all of the time.
    Such people choose to do that rather than make the effort to excel on their own merits, so you had better develop the mental toughness to ignore them and plough your own furrow. Never let negative people stand in the way of your progress, or prevent you from shooting for your goals.
    Just live your life blamelessly and with integrity, and you will attract more than enough good folks to support you and counter the gainsayers.
    Listen to your conscience, treat others as you would have them treat you (including those who are unkind to you), and you will build your character so that you won’t worry about the envy of others.

    It all gets back to Thomas Edison
    Edison’s first wax cylinder phonograph
    used a membrane stretched over the
    small end of a tiny “megaphone”. A
    steel needle attached to the membrane
    scribed a hard, carnuba wax tube
    with a harmonic signature from the
    sound waves moving the air and
    perturbing the membrane. Playback
    was simply drawing the needle
    through the track, allowing the sound
    to transmit physically back to the

  • djcrawleravp

    Very useful :mrgreen:

    But why instead of the word “speaker” isn’t “horn”? i mean if you say that “The megaphone acts as a horn” why it’s called “speaker”? (i think it’s because the phonograph were used to reproduce voices only)

    Maybe like “soccer” and “football” the word is not apropiated??

    what do you think?

    Interesting fact:
    In some hispanic counties (like Venezuela for example) the “speaker” it’s called “corneta” which is mean “horn”

    capman911, if you create a bunch of videos and create a following on YouTube you can apply to become a partner (www.youtube.com/partner) and if you get accepted, then you can monetize your videos which means an ad may appear along the bottom of the screen after about 15 seconds in for a few seconds. You will also see an ad on the right hand side of the video. Based on how many times that ad is seen, we get a split of the money that YouTube makes from that ad.

    Now, I don’t make any money from the video views from this site, as YouTube hasn’t transferred those ads to websites where the ads are embedded as they have no control over the content of those websites and they don’t want to potentially piss off advertisers if they are advertising on a website with “objectionable” content.

One evening I saw the ISS and the space shuttle the same evening. The Shuttle had undocked and was flying way getting ready to re-enter the atmosphere. It looked like it was 200 miles apart but I know it was much greater than that. Keep looking. You’ll see it.

    OK about “Vampire” and the dark side. Please consider equal time for the other side which leads to my word request for “Nurture”.

    “Nurture” from French “nourriture” and Latin “nutritia” and “nutrire” (nurse, nourish, suckle) has much for which your comments may be enlightening to understand a working mother’s need for time off.

    Many of us (guys) could benefit from your perspective. How is that situation handled in other modern societies, e.g. Russia?

  • bobsully

    I did find this:

    The word vampire also spelled, “vampir,” or “vampyre,” has obscure origins, but scholars generally agree that it can be traced to the Slavic languages. But the debate over this will continue, since there are many numerous theories. The word may have come from the Lithuanian wempti, which literally means “to drink”, or from the root pi, which has a similar meaning with the prefix va or av. Other scholars would scoff at this, however, and claim that the word had Turkish roots, such as the word, uber or “witch,” or the Serbo-Croatian pirati “to blow”. After all, the word vampircan be found in the Serbo-Croatian language and is upyr in Russian, upior in Polish, and upir in Byelorussian.

    Some scholars insist that upir is older than vampir, an eastern Slavic name that spread westward into the Balkans. Scholars who hold this viewpoint claim that the word was then adopted by the southern Slavs and widely spread.

    No one knows when the word vampire or vampyre was first used in the English language, but it appeared in two 1732 publications

    A vampire sucks your blood and drains you dry. It may also turn you into another vampire. The reason why vampires were thought to roam the Earth was that the dead wasn’t given the proper burial procedure to lay the persons to rest. There were also concerns of disease spreading from vampires.

    In the case of zombies, a person was drugged, then thought dead, but really was still alive. The person went into a coma and came back, but was mindless and mute with less intellectual capacity than a mentally retarded person. So the person was essentially alive, but acted like he was “undead”. It comes from voodoo lore from Africa that migrated to the Caribbean. The notion of zombies eating human flesh to sustain themselves was completely made up by Hollywood movies.

    The origin of the word comes from Serbian Language. Try to search for it. Here it is called vampir. This link will help you :)

  • emanuil_dimitrov

    Vampires appear in all the slavic folklore.As the woman from the video said,this word exist in many languages:vapir,vampir,upir,vopir.
    In bulgarian “вопир”(vopir) i think that it comes from “во” (vo) which is archaic word for “in” and “inside”, and “пир”(pir) which is an archaic word for drinking.
    “пир-шество” means drinking for pleasure.So “вопир” is affliliated to “впивам се” which has similar meaning.Therefore “вопир” is an archaic word for someone who is atached to something in order to drink something.It is used also for the blood drinking insects.

  • yayer

    Bram stoker was a gadje, not a vampire. He embarassed the vampire community by writing that book, and turned many humans against them. In ancient times, vampires and humans coexisted peacefully. A vampire would mark a human or humans as “theirs” and that human or those humans, would supply the vampire with blood, and in turn be protected from any other vampires who may wish to hurt the human. I forgot the term for a human so marked…
    Now, that rarely happens, because of bram stoker. Now, vampires have to kidnap people at the risk of being caught, or feed on animal blood.

    Reference: Book: Vampire High By: Douglas Rees

    By the way, where does the word “gadje” come from?

    Gadje is a word used to describe someone who is not part of a specific group.
    Syn: outsider?

    Gadje is used as a demeaning term for non gypsies (aka. Roma).

    Gadje is also used (in this case) to mean a non vampire.

    Am I wrong?

I asked them in a letter is there really was such a placa as Transylvania and was there a Count Dracula. I thought maybe he was related to some weirdo on my dad’s side of the family! Funny video.

Then embalm and then bury. And the girl had a cartoon of a dead girl lying in a casket!! Freaky, huh? I did stare at a few of the girls in junior high with lust in my heart and romantic interest. Maybe they thought of me like Dracula?? That’s a sexy throaty altered voice you made of yourself. You do have a bit of a [femme fatalle] air about you.

    They made a movie called BRAM STOKER’S DRACULA. They even worked some Theology into the character of Dracula. It went that his fiancee comitted suicide becuase she was told in error that he had died. And he became enraged at God and became God’s enemy becuase he believed his fiancee would be damned to Hell for eternity for killing herself! And he bacame but only in fiction sort of like the Antchitst in the Bible in that he had been a christian but then became an enemy of God. there are also lesser antichrists in the world besides old 666.

    Yeah, I sure have. I was just trying to have fun with Marina on that post :roll:

    That situation I bestowed upon people on here about an ex dissolved real quickly and I was frankly surprised. Yep she did file a claim and the court appearance happened last week, it was quick, I thought it would be months before making an appearance but to my gratification the judge literally laughed at her, seriously! and couldn’t believe she was wasting the time of the court with her claim. So I guess I worried about nothing, but I had some friends and people put ideas in my head about all the possible scenarios that could happen. But all in all she got nothing. The attorney I consulted with suggested I counter sue but you know I just wanted the split to be final and we go our seperate ways. As far as how it’s goin, there aren’t any storms, things right now are calm and that’s the way I like it for now. I’ve learned not to ask for much.

    With it having been Haloween week, I saw a morning Dracula movie from 1979 in B and W on AMC. For some odd reason I became aware of its Romanianness. Dracula was a slick handsome aristocratic ladies man. and the victim I saw looked like Marina in a way-tall slender graceful, long white Feminine neck. Curly light hair. It almost seemed like a olddball love story or a lust story. he wanted to possess the pretty feminne woman. He even hypotized her from his mind. And she was powerless under his spell. then he sucked the blood out of her lovely body and was dead by morning. I knew of a girl in grade school named Betty whose dad atualy sounded like Bella Lagosi in those old Dracula movies. I went to try to visit with her around 1993 and her dad opened the door but said Betty did not want to talk to me. Sounded just like Dracula in some of the old movies. Weird, huh? I used to think just my dad was werd.

    When I was a little kid in grade school I got alot of mosquito bites. and I would scartch them and they would bleed. and I would like the blood off of my sores. I remember my own blood tasted salty!! But that meant nothing to me because I went to church on su nday, went to confession on saturday and generally kept the Ten Commandments as a kid. But I do remember my blood tasted salty to me! But I do not have any interest in becoming a vampire!! I am glad you made this video long before I made those dracula jokes to you recenlty. so you know I did not deliberately hurt your f

    Saw Bram Stoker’s DRACULA last weekend. this movie had therology in it. At the very end when Winona Ryder kills the Dracula with a stake through the heart she is quoting from the Song of Solomon from the Bible FOR LOVE IS STRONGER THAN DEATH.
    And Anthony Hopkins quiotes from Ephesians 6:2 when he says BE STRONG IN THE LORD AND IN THE POWER OF HIS MIGHT. (that would be good advice for me as well). The red haired female victim of Dracula was pretty.
    It was certainly classier than the drucula movies I remember seeing on TV as a kid. Wasn’t Christopher Plummer the Count in alot of those?

    Vampires only really become dangerous when they start breaking the rules, …. turns into a werewolf at full moon. ;-)

    In Terry Pratchett’s Discworld novels, the undead are seen less as monsters, and more as characters with unusual cultural quirks. They even have their own bar in Ankh-Morpork.

    full moon and lunar effects

    “…spooky effects have been ascribed to the phases of the moon….But when the statistics are redone properly, the correlation with lunar phase always evaporates….Yet many sensible people—including police officers and emergency room staff—continue to believe otherwise.” ~Steven Strogatz~

    The Black Ghosts :cool: Alt. version?

    “I had seen my becoming a vampire in two lights: The first light was simply enchantment… But the other light was my wish for self-destruction.”
