    LIke you’re R8 Marina! Cool ride.

    You’re so clearly into speed so you should really not miss the US MotoGP at Laguna Seca next week-end. You’ll appreciate very quickly that the car guys are all pussies. Also you’ll get to check out Valentino Rossi: not only the greatest world champion of all time (7 so far and counting), but a super cool, funny, and good looking guy to boot. He didn’t win in ’07 (2nd) but he leading again in ’08…Vale

    Crochet-monger: didn’t you give the answer in video? Checking if we are paying attention.

    Given my current state my word requests are malarky, amnesia (a great club in Ibiza by the way), and for a made up expression: “sick as parrot.” Are parrots sick??? :shock:

  • pennsyltucky9

    I was thinking of a curmudgeonly person or a someone known for their constant griping, argument, etc. Then I looked up “crotchety.”

    2nd part of the definition per Merriam-Webster:

    a: a highly individual and usually eccentric opinion or preference

    b: a peculiar trick or device

  • tedt

    Hum, I can´t translate the whole meaning of it, so I took the singe words…….hm, by thinking about it I think it could be someone who speaks in tongues e.g. I politician, when you ask them something they always talk round the problem, but not realy answer your question. Or someone who tells a story, e.g. a mystery story (true or not).

    I´m not realy sure about it, but by watching crotchets and monger and putting them together…..

  • mf3177

    Does the word quandary, which has a similar meaning to conundrum, come from the same source? It’s also similar to the latin word you mentioned…

  • Bob

    Well, a crotchet-monger would be one who deals in crotchets, so what is a crotchet?
    Half a minim, and I’ll look it up – yes, a musical note half as long as a minim. It’s also a small stick with a hook on the end such as is used in surgery, or for making crochet garments like those sexy bikinis with holes in interesting places. Thus far I got without the help of the O.E.D.
    Now, what else? One of these [ or these ] is a crotchet – a square bracket in typography.
    It can also, apparently, be a feature in a fortification and a body of troops arranged at right angles to the main line of battle.
    Admiral Lord Nelson used such a formation at the Battle of Trafalgar, when he formed his flotilla into two lines, which sailed perpendicularly into the French and Spanish fleet, thereby causing the maximum confusion and chaos.
    However, the sense of crotchet about which you are talking, Marina, is of a whimsical fancy, a perverse conceit, a peculiar notion on some point or a fanciful device, such as a made-up word or a shaggy-dog story.

    FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK!!!!!!!!!
    a difficult word to trace, in part because it was taboo to the editors of the original OED when the “F” volume was compiled, 1893-97. Written form only attested from early 16c. OED 2nd edition cites 1503, in the form fukkit; earliest appearance of current spelling is 1535 — “Bischops … may fuck thair fill and be vnmaryit” [Sir David Lyndesay, "Ane Satyre of the Thrie Estaits"], but presumably it is a much more ancient word than that, simply one that wasn’t likely to be written in the kind of texts that have survived from O.E. and M.E. Buck cites proper name John le Fucker from 1278. The word apparently is hinted at in a scurrilous 15c. poem, titled “Flen flyys,” written in bastard L. and M.E. The relevant line reads:
    Non sunt in celi
    quia fuccant uuiuys of heli
    “They [the monks] are not in heaven because they fuck the wives of Ely.” Fuccant is pseudo-L., and in the original it is written in cipher. The earliest examples of the word otherwise are from Scottish, which suggests a Scandinavian origin, perhaps from a word akin to Norw. dial. fukka “copulate,” or Swedish dial. focka “copulate, strike, push,” and fock “penis.” Another theory traces it to M.E. fkye, fike “move restlessly, fidget,” which also meant “dally, flirt,” and probably is from a general North Sea Gmc. word, cf. M.Du. fokken, Ger. ficken “fuck,” earlier “make quick movements to and fro, flick,” still earlier “itch, scratch;” the vulgar sense attested from 16c. This would parallel in sense the usual M.E. slang term for “have sexual intercourse,” swive, from O.E. swifan “to move lightly over, sweep” (see swivel). Chronology and phonology rule out Shipley’s attempt to derive it from M.E. firk “to press hard, beat.” As a noun, it dates from 1680. French foutre and Italian fottere look like the Eng. word but are unrelated, derived rather from L. futuere, which is perhaps from PIE base *bhau(t)- “knock, strike off,” extended via a figurative use “from the sexual application of violent action” [Shipley; cf. the sexual slang use of bang, etc.]. Popular and Internet derivations from acronyms (and the “pluck yew” fable) are merely ingenious trifling. The O.E. word was hæman, from ham “dwelling, home,” with a sense of “take home, co-habit.” Fuck was outlawed in print in England (by the Obscene Publications Act, 1857) and the U.S. (by the Comstock Act, 1873). The word may have been shunned in print, but it continued in conversation, especially among soldiers during WWI.
    “It became so common that an effective way for the soldier to express this emotion was to omit this word. Thus if a sergeant said, ‘Get your —-ing rifles!’ it was understood as a matter of routine. But if he said ‘Get your rifles!’ there was an immediate implication of urgency and danger.” [John Brophy, "Songs and Slang of the British Soldier: 1914-1918," pub. 1930]
    The legal barriers broke down in the 20th century, with the “Ulysses” decision (U.S., 1933) and “Lady Chatterley’s Lover” (U.S., 1959; U.K., 1960). Johnson excluded the word, and fuck wasn’t in a single English language dictionary from 1795 to 1965. “The Penguin Dictionary” broke the taboo in the latter year. Houghton Mifflin followed, in 1969, with “The American Heritage Dictionary,” but it also published a “Clean Green” edition without the word, to assure itself access to the lucrative public high school market. The abbreviation F (or eff) probably began as euphemistic, but by 1943 it was being used as a cuss word, too. In 1948, the publishers of “The Naked and the Dead” persuaded Norman Mailer to use the euphemism fug instead. When Mailer later was introduced to Dorothy Parker, she greeted him with, “So you’re the man who can’t spell ‘fuck’ ” [The quip sometimes is attributed to Tallulah Bankhead]. Hemingway used muck in “For whom the Bell Tolls” (1940). The major breakthrough in publication was James Jones’ “From Here to Eternity” (1950), with 50 fucks (down from 258 in the original manuscript). Egyptian legal agreements from the 23rd Dynasty (749-21 B.C.E.) frequently include the phrase, “If you do not obey this decree, may a donkey copulate with you!” [Reinhold Aman, "Maledicta," Summer 1977]. Intensive form mother-fucker suggested from 1928; motherfucking is from 1933. Fuck-all “nothing” first recorded 1960. Verbal phrase fuck up “to ruin, spoil, destroy” first attested c.1916. A widespread group of Slavic words (cf. Pol. pierdolić) can mean both “fornicate” and “make a mistake.” Flying fuck originally meant “have sex on horseback” and is first attested c.1800 in broadside ballad “New Feats of Horsemanship.” For the unkillable urban legend that this word is an acronym of some sort (a fiction traceable on the Internet to 1995 but probably predating that) see here, and also here.
    nookie
    “sexual activity,” 1928, perhaps from Du. neuken “to fuck.”
    frig
    “to move about restlessly,” c.1460, perhaps a variant of frisk (q.v.). As a euphemism for “to fuck” or “to masturbate” it dates from 1598.

    The definition is- unexpected funny or surprisingly funny, is there a word for this? Yesterday I submitted to Urban Dictionary my word/initialism acronym- moynf, pronounced moy-nif, think Yiddish.

    Marina since your video lessons were the inspiration* for this new word I gave you credit in my submittal. If it makes it into the OED your legacy will live on and 100 years from now someone will be talking about your contribution to the English language. Heck no one will remember me, I used a pseudonym.

    *First time I watched HFW I was drinking milk with my cookies, not knowing what to expect, then Marina said something funny and the milk shot right out my nose. Hence let history record the new word Milk Out Your Nose Funny. Moynf

    Dear Marina, You look so good in that fine Audi sportscar! You are a tall, slender and agile young woman to fit in it so easily! You look so wonderful! To answer your homework question, a crotchet-monger is an instructor who weaves unnecssarily complex questions that serve no puropse other than to show complexity. The most common made-up word to make it into common language is the word “okay”, also spelled OK, or O.K. In Dutch it’s spelled “oke.” It has the same meaning, world-wide. Of course, I think you look very much better than “OK.”

  • tedt

    Hum, a adult movie is a movie in which a woman always won´t get what she deserves, it is a movie for men who like it to see a woman hurt (how ever you want to see it), most adult movies show some men who fall when the time for the advantage is on, and at the end the woman has to do the whole work !

    It is rather boring watching those movies, but to understand it you have to watch some, it isn´t worth the time to see a stupid guy doing some “part-time” job and while it you watch the woman and can see how bored and fucked up she gets !

    On the other side it is funny to watch some of those guys going down :lol: (“rrrr….I´m the muscle man” :mrgreen: :lol: :lol: :mrgreen: ).

    Hum, and about what a woman deserves…..she will know it the best (and not someone else, though sometimes you hold the feeling that there could be more for “her”) !!!

    Hm, if I think about the fact that i could end up without getting what I think I deserve I could trully go crazy, but somehow I can´t change it, or ?

    Sorry this seems to sounds bad but…..why close my eyes.

    No convertible make a real sports car. As soon as a car has no roof, the chassis rigidity is seriously compromised. The only thing to try to do is the reinforce the roofless chassis with the result that ALL “sports” convertibles are heavier than their closed counterparts. Obviously convertibles sell because there’s a market for cruiser types, but any performance fan would never buy one.

  • mikesiff

    I was wondering if anyone else gets irritated when people refer to themselves as: “chocoholics” or “workoholics.” I understand why people use these terms- to indicate their penchant for consuming chocolate or for working alot- but it makes no sense. People are called alcoholics because they drink lots of alcohol but the “holic” part comes from the word alcohol, and has nothing to do with habitual consumption. I think it is ridiculous that people think they can simply add “holic” to any word in order to express their degree of enthusiasm for the item or activity.

    Can’t we see more of you driving the R8?

    One word that I can think of that is a silly made up word, comes from gamers. The word is pwned. The word that is pronounced p-owned, started in games played online. Now I personally don’t know when the word was created or by who. Although I do have a theory on how it came into being.

    The theory is, in online games such as MMORPGS or games that have online co-op like Halo, gamers have the ability to talk with each other. They also are able to taunt each other. Before the headset became the standard in online gaming for communication, everything was typed. Now my guess is, that during a game someone did something really cool to drop his or her opponent. In the excitement, the meant to spell owned, but misspelled it and typed pwned instead.

    Since then the word has become very popular, not just in the gaming world, but everywhere else. I think it is kinda cool that something that may have been a mistake at first has become a word that synonymous with beating or doing something in a cool way.

    Hmm MG: gone. They were out of date when they were new. Triumph: gone. They were out of date when they were new. Aston Martin makes convertibles derived from hardtops, which just like everyone other convertible are compromised by increased weight and rigidity. AC Cobra is just another antiquated British car from 1959 (the AC Ace) with US V8 dropped in. What a nightmare–one of the most notoriously bad handling cars ever. Got a rigid rear axle as well. WWII technology.

    Greetings,

    The word I request to you is “Semantics”.

    Marina, did you mean “Crochet” (crow-shay) instead of “Crotchet” (crotch-hit) (OUCH!)?
    Since a monger is a common seller as a “fish monger” and “Crochet” is a type of needlework done with a hooked needle, I would venture a guess that a “crohet monger” is someone who sells finely crafted things in a rather common or base way? And I’m going with “Lomography” for the extra credit, even though it can’t be sung like “supercalifragilisticexpealidocious”.

    You’re breaking my heart. Do my eyes deceive me or are you endorsing Barack Obama (referring to the banner on the right).

    …as you say, ‘Nice’ car! that will only get old, out dated too soon, besides M, you could make any car look great. Never a problem only solutions…..so conundrum in this respect doesn’t really exsist.
    All a bit Mumbo Jumbo really, I have given priority to a sports car over food on the table and roof over my head before, didn’t work out as I lost my home thus giving no drive way to park! Doh!

    The other day I had to break suddenly to avoid a cat running out in front of me. The car behind me smashed into the back causing much damage. I got out to speak with the driver and this red faced angry dwarf got out shouting ‘i’m not happy!’ – so i replied, so which one are you then?! :roll:

  • James

    Hi every 1. I have just finished filming a video for the origin of the word fuck. Even if you don’t really want to see it, just watch it for the out takes,my cat decided he was hungry and meowed all through it the jumped on me knocked the camera over and covered my face with his body. After which he then also decided to walk over me as well. So I will be posting the link soon.

    Don’t like convertibles either (had a ’68 Beetle Cabriolet, guess what, it was only for cruisin’ & funx3) but you said “No convertible make a real sports car”, well, the Cobra was never a hardtop & there are performance fan/collectors who love the car–not for what it isn’t but for what it is, and I’m not talking about muscle heads either. You are obviously a car fan & I don’t disagree with your point, but, sorry Cobra was never built for cruising but racing & scared the shit out of Ferrari for a little bit…Soften your argument & you’ve got a good point, by being so absolute your argument falls.

    But I am not talking about 40 years ago! I am talking about today. A Prosche Carrera Cabriolet or BMW M3 cab. are for people in Marbella and la côte d’azur. They are produced to fill a market niche. If a car is design as an open car from beginning, (ie was not adapted from an existing design) that is a different matter: Carrera GT4

  • juhsepi

    Now that I know Marina is taking a neutral stance. I can breath easier…

    Marina,

    I am wondering what is the origin of the phrase.

    Glad you like it. Not so long a go I was stopped by the boys in blue for a rear break light out. I didn’t stop until a mile or so down the road. The policeman asked me why I hadn’t stopped sooner. I explained that a few years ago my ex-wife ran off with a copper and I thought it was him trying to bring her back to me!! :smile:

  • okay4now

    Nice, like I said I’m actually on your side on this, but, also, every production car is attempting to fill a niche. Maybe, convertibles are still around because those were the original roadsters, speedsters etc. & of course they sell & your right about there appeal…Shelby Cobra (I’m not automatically a fan, just respect) is producing a brand new car, British + Shelby the old team for mass production etc. 40 years is nothing I thought you were talking the history of the automobile. I have two brothers who are racers, one is a track instructor, one of my best friends in life lived for F1 but had to compromise and became an Indy racer all of them would agree with your structural point, all of them had & loved convertibles and all of them are extra serious performance geeks, yet, still, one brother use to buy and restore these sports cars which he loved: http://www.freefoto.com/preview/21-08-4?ffid=21-08-4

    Crotchet-Monger is new to me so I looked it up; no definition, but used with the word “hack” in a non-current reference to a writer’s effort.

    I use the word conudrum to refer to an impossibility or a paradox. A “Catch-22″ would be the classic case.

    Another might be: I never date crazy women, but I’d like to date Marina. But, she WOULD be crazy if she agree to go out with me. :sad:

  • benton

    Hi Marina! What is the origin of the word BANANA? I know that bananas were introduced in the United States at the Philadelphia Centennial Exhibition in 1876. They were considered one of the “wonders of the future” (??!!), were wrapped in tin foil and sold for a dime. But where did they get the word “banana”? Was it someone’s idea of what tribal farmers might sound like when pulling the fruit from off the tree. It kind of reminds me of the origin of the word barbarian: anyone not speaking Greek sounded like they were saying “bar bar bar bar,” hence the word. Is banana then akin to barbarian? In the fruit aisle of my local grocers, I can understand a blueberry, and I can understand an orange. But when I get to the bananas, I experience a true conundrum. So now my segue is complete. THANKS! Benton

Still, if you are a Senior & I’m just a Freshman good for flippin’ you—you’ve arrived! In any event, I’m not trying to put you down just brush you aside, so this is surprising to me because I think you are what you think of yourself and that is that you are a bit of a lightweight—so I’m surprised you’re not moving, which only makes you a sticky lightweight, none the less stick somewhere else, will ya.

My expectations are very realistic and grounded. Miss Marina is a lot like the R8 in the video. Very Beautiful, Built for Speed, And very, Very Expensive and High maintenance.

    I have been thinking about this for a while now. I want to play a game of Word Association, for people who dont know how this works, I would say a word like “glass” then someone would say “mug” the some one else would say “hand bag” then “lipstick” and so on and so on

    Hi James,

    It’s part of the sponsoring agreement with Google that helps Marina pay for the site. It’s all done automatically by word scan programs that attempt to ascertain who is reading and what they might buy by what words it finds on a page… or something like that.

    A couple months ago somebody got their panties in a bunch when they saw a campaign ad for some candidate they disliked. They went all postal on Marina, threatening her (and us) as if she had anything to do with what ads gets selected to run on her page. She explained that she is just trying to pay the bills, and advertisements are an unfortunate but necessary evil in this case. Basically, what we learned was that if it doesn’t agree with you, ignore it. It’s out of our hands anyway.

    Peace.

Sorry I didn’t enjoy them this time, but dude your spinning on hyper- drive, about to blow a gasket, and I’ve seen you do this before. If I thought you were really ‘on’ I wouldn’t rain. If you have a Zen riddle (which have no answers) then it’s strange that it rhymes, so it’s Zen & not the wind, great…impressive. If you are quoting some source show the source, otherwise it’s rude. I leave with the same face I came with, I guess you do too. YOU win! You’re the most deftest, which is great cause it seems very, very important to you.

    Can you power shift your manual, yet?
    with a diesel, i can even drop it in first
    from a standing stop – smooth as glass.
    It’s tricky – you can rip out the drive train
    if you miss the timing, but here’s how I
    do it. Bounce the accelerator hard.
    when RPM’s hit minimum (below idle)
    drop it in gear and nurse the accelerator.
    (or stomp it and patch out!) I’ve been
    a power shifter for years, up AND down
    gasser or diesel, same is same to me
    my cars last 14-18 years as a rule and
    no clutch, tranny or rear end issues EVER
    Power shifting is the REAL racer’s edge

    Anyone here live in L.A. area that would know where I could find a small classroom or meeting room (not any hotels) near Long Beach Marina, Marina Del Ray, or San Pedro Marinas? I plan to fly to LA to look at some rooms to submit for USCG approval. I’m looking for inexpensive room I can lease to teach up to 16 students. Must have restrooms, good lighting, large tables for chart work. Please email me your details here. Move to LA Jack! Thanks :!:

  • jace

    To answer your homework question…

    “crotchet” is an odd fancy or whimsical notion. syn. caprice, whimsy, eccentricity, quirk, oddity.

    “monger” is a person who is involved with something in a petty or contemptible way.

    Therefore, it would make sense that a “crotchet-monger” would be someone involved in petty, whimsical notions or odd fancies in a petty or contemptible manner. Apparently it was originally used as a derogatory term for a fussy, pedantic and silly person.

    Sounds a lot like the students that you referred to who created the word conundrum.

    Since I’ve done such a thorough job on my homework, does it qualify me as the teacher’s pet? :wink:

  • http://www.myspace.com/shawnmnorris shawnmnorris

    You’re right, Marina, those Raging Beaver guys are really funny, and you’re of course….still extremely hot…. as usual.

    Anyway! The homework:

    Crotchet: a wacky idea.

    monger: someone who’s caught up with something frivolously.

    So, if combined, would mean (lit.): someone with a wacky idea that’s caught up in this wacky idea frivolously……..

    I would say, depending on the wacky idea, that this might actually turn out to be a good thing… and like I said it depends on the idea.

    Think of Einstein, Ben Franklin and the other great innovators.

    Also, on the crotchet-monger thought: this could have been a term used to put people down such as in saying: “what’s wrong with him, he’s always coming up with these twisted notions and weird ideas – he’s a crotchet-monger!” etc. :lol:

    Which, I would say, isn’t a very kind thing so say at all, but to us today it may sound silly or funny to say, like “you crotchet-monger!”, but it could’ve been used derogatorily back when it first started being made up. Although I wasn’t there, so other than writings, documents or word-of-mouth, how could we know? Then Marina came along.

    All in all, there is no dilemma about any conundrum thanks to Marina, and a conundrum might have been upon us in the finding of the meaning and root of this, but no more.

    Thank you, Marina, :smile:

    “QUAGMIRE”

    You told me the meaning of the word “Quagmire” and the year BUT you didn’t tell me how the name originated. Did the king see his brother stuck again in a soft mirky land and his brother was shaking badly trying to get out of his impossible doing and the king in 1580 yelled, “that’s QUAGMIRE!!??” That was his brother’s name. So there you have it — :smile: another quagmire solved. :cool: :cool:

    Jehovah! This isn’t really a made up word, but i know it was a mispronunciation in the middle ages because most Europeans didn’t know how to pronounce Hebrew words. So the roughly translated the Tetragrammaton יהוה (YHWH) and pronounced it Jehovah when really it’s unpronounceable because it has no vowels. My question is this, is there any other words that this has happened to in history that has stuck around like Jehovah?
