Sarcasm? ha

I like little dogs. The smaller the dog the smaller the little brown things they leave behind. :shock: Kobe is growing like a weed. He want be little to much longer. :smile:

… do I like big dogs or little dogs …? Hmm …? Don’t know, if and when I make a choice for a dog I don’t think I’ll consider whether it’s big or small …

Scruffy though is its name, big or small.

HotForWords,

Those tat’s did look real at first glance. :eek:
Doesn’t become you, not your style. :cry:

Great ending, the both of you looking into the camera with a whoops, Hi!! :lol: :lol: :oops:

As long as they ain’t vicious, gotta go with any kinda dog. :razz:

:oops: Forgot the Homework, I like whatever you like :mrgreen: …if it won´t bite me :wink:

We get them here a the Harley Davidson store. They are arm sleeves. You can get them with different tattoos on them. From a distance they look like you have real tattoos. :cool:

Yea and I got the poop deck or the head. :roll: :roll:

Congrats bro. :cool:

How about a beer. It will go down better. :lol:

Miss M. what happened to the thumbs up and thumbs down thingys :?:

Hey capman,
I replied to Marina and addressed your browser char issue on the Sisyphean video page. Look for Marina’s comment and my reply.

HotForWords,

2 Questions.
I looked over at the side and I don’t see your new hair moose for sale, aka. Kobe Slobber. :lol: Is it hidden?
Since your a 627 year old Vamparilla :twisted: (I guess that’s what you call a female vampire) , you wouldn’t be playing the old lady game on the puppy would you? :lol:

Very entertaining video. :razz:
Will use the term the next time the beans work their magic. :cool:

You should get a fluffy white cat, then you can do James Bond villain impersonations in your videos!

I concur…puh-LEEZ DON’T GET ANY TATTOOS! You’ll go from being a glittering diamond to a dirty little neon sign hanging in some forgotten bar on a dead-end street.

Dear HotForWords,

I have two words/ phrases that you haven’t used before listed below:

Plethora

per se

I know plethora means a lot and per se means “as such.” I just wondered where the words came from!!!

Thanks Very Much!!!

Hoodster

Oh Yeah…I like big dogs, like labs and golden retrievers…

I grew up with big dogs around, so I’m just used to them!!!

I do like small dogs too- they’re cute!

here is a word id like u to find out Dominate :grin:

hi marina good one 5* i like the big dogs rottweilers best of all breeds to me :smile: :smile:

i’ll be happy to sign for you…here’s your signature… :cool:

Hey what happened?
The plant had a relapse. :shock:

Big dogs are much more fun to play fetch with, but Kobe looks likes fun too!
Does he ever run out of energy??
There’s a word to investigate Marina…fetch. :???:

Ivanna Cupcake? or Heike DeSkirt or Chasity Longgone, the rest are too risqué

I used to like small dogs less than big dogs, but my former girlfriend got a Corgi-Jack Russel mix and he is the coolest dog ever. I miss him more than I miss her, actually.

I like terriers. I like and respect working breeds of dog. However, I don’t go in for long walks, so owning a big breed is not for me. However, I enjoy catching rats with my Jack Russel bitch Carly.

Every time she wears this top, people think she got ink! It always gives me chuckle.

Nah I’m good, I’d show my own haha :cool:

He’s with me. I got in a fresh quart of apple flavored WL. I don’t think he will make it untill the morning get here. :lol: :lol:

i’d settle for a tip o’ the hat… :lol:

‘course, in y’all’s case that would be a tip o’ the cap… :cool:

Thanks a lot, Marina, now the house smells like a big FART :eek: :shock: lol, jk that’s nasty.

For the homework: I like big dogs because they can fend off evildoers, keep you safe during fires by barking and let you know when some rain is gunna come, but I like little dogs because they are really cute most of the time and they’re what’s called “microwaveable”. I’ve never and will never microwave one, however.

Have you ever heard of GIMP? It’s an image manipulation program that makes it so you can do practically anything with your photos on the computer. Here it is: http://www.gimp.org/ – you can do a lot with it. BTW, how did GIMP get it’s name?

you can download it here:

-Shawneyboy

Thats a good one maleudder. I sent that one to my daughter. :lol:

Thanks, I checked my encoding and it’s set for unicode utf-8. So I downloaded the site you sent and if I have anymore problems I will contact you on your utube site. Mine is MIKEMX32. It wouldn’t let me use Capman911. :wink:

oh, and durcan?…you rock, sir…here’s one for you, champ

y’all know your ffootball, right?… :cool:

I’ve always been a German Shepard guy but the more I see Kobe the more I want one just like him! … and his name will be skippy…Oh boy, I’ve already picked out a name :roll: I guess the next thing to do is to go find him!…Marina, did you get Kobe from a breeder or from a guy who knew a guy that knows a guy? …I want mine from the same “guy”. Kobe just looks so energetic, attentive and, well, smart. :smile:

oops…stutter-type…pppffffftttt…football… :cool:

do a video on “YAHOO”. (each letter stands for a word but i dont know what iy is! :lol: )

and she’s a pharmacist, and that is who I get my meds from. Oh well. :wink:

lessee…get a mac like Marina…get a dog like Marina…

‘er…when’s the operation?… :mrgreen:

Let us know if it is as good as the first one, Batman Begins. I am watching it right now on channel 67. :smile: :smile:

Word request: intelligentsia.

Or what Johnny Carson did to ZaZa Gabor on his late night show. You know about the cat in her lap. That’s far enough. You can remember the rest. :lol: :lol:

what kind of dog is kobe and how is gucci doing :?: :?: :lol:

that’s the floral spike sticking up, if that’s what you mean…if Marina cuts it in the right place after the first flowers bloom and begin to fade, another spike with few flowers might develop…

but the plant itself usually has just a few leaves close to the rim of the pot… :cool:

all dogs are pretty much awesome…cats suck though, except when they are babies…

Question on the subject of wind – Why does the word afflatus (meaning a rush of divine or poetic inspiration) so closely resemble the word flatus (act of breaking wind)? Did farts used to be more socially acceptable or something?

Keep up the great work Marina.

yeah, why don’t you go get the same shirts, pants, skirts, make-up and everything else that she has? jesus fucking christ …

To be honest, I’m not familiar with it, but I think I can see where this is going….

I just prefer cats to dogs because of an unfortunate incident involving a Rottweiler. It’s made me slightly suspicious of the creatures. And a fluffy white cat with blue eyes would be like a matching accessory.

Marina I am sorry to add to another problem. It might be only me, but every time I comment it shows back up in the next comment window. The same words. :oops:

yeah. though it would be kinda cool if that were tattoos.

I try to keep it clean. She was sitting in a chair next to him on his show with a white Persian cat in her lap. She asked him if he wanted to pet her p***y. He told her yes if you move that cat. :lol: :lol:

German Shepherds all the way!! My little guy is 5 months old today.

I was so disappointed that I didn’t get a chance to send in my picture for the 200th Video Anniversary :cry: because he is so darned cute and he would have been the only German Shepherd in the video!

I like BIG DOGS because I feel safe. Our previous German Shepherd was solid muscle and very protective and I always felt safe about being home alone at night while my husband worked. He was our best friend and it was so sad when he passed away at 12 1/2 yrs old a few months ago. :cry: :sad:

But our new friend is helping our hearts mend. So my vote is for the big dogs. (Little ones can be cute, too, of course). :smile:

BoArgMir

I hope she has a green thumb, or a good nursery helper. Annudermale why don’t you apply for that position. :wink:

I think she got it from her uncle 3rd grade, his wifes her auntie´s her uncle :mrgreen: Nice dog, don´t go to china with it, he will end up in the freezer :mrgreen:

I always was out for a Labrador or “Doberman (that will bite my girlies´s ass :mrgreen: )”

Pagedoll if you get all of that done then I’ll talk to Pagy then. But not without your permission. :lol:

Hey mer con, where we going now?

Poor kitty.

I’ve never actually saw Johnny Carson, it’s kind of wierd I know who he is. Too much Simpsons and the like.

I had an American Eskimo (Spitz) who was the runt of the litter and the very best dog I ever owned, but he has long since passed. I had him for two weeks and could not come up with a name. Riding in my car with friends one day they assumed they would assist, Whitey!,” “Snowball!,) they exclaimed!! However, I said “No!” Using the wisdom of chance, I told them I would turn the radio on and whatever the next song was it would have something pertaining to that.

“Highway 51″ by Bob Dylan started playing :roll: If you know the rambling of the lyrics you would know I could just about give him a name of any choosing. Then I said “Hey, how about Dylan? You know Bob & Dylan” meaning it only in jest. Well, it stuck everyone started calling him Dylan, and he became my best friend for many years.

Hey I watch the Simpsons, South park, and The Family Guy. I like cartoons also. :lol:

I am going to bed, see you tomorrow. :wink:

Ha Ha, very funny! …Hey, CJ has an apple too! …been thinkin’ about getting a new computer for a while now and after I saw Marina AND CJ talk ‘em up so much I figured how could I go wrong. Sure, It would be more than double what I’d pay for a HP or dell, but hey, thats the way I roll…love to get a German Shepard but my yard isn’t big enough and it wouldn’t be fair to the dog. I’ve often thought about getting a small dog but never really knew what kind until I was introduced to the Maltese breed through, yes, Marina. It just seems like they have a great ,fun lovin’, easy going personality and not all up tight like alot of small dogs are. As for the operation, Mr. smarty man :razz: , I’m not a sicko!! :lol: :lol:

:grin: thats cool

Good Night Mss Marina, your latest lesson pics looks great again (I already saved it).
Darn Germany and low money, I would come to one of your live events if you were at one, just seeing you live once (it always gives you a other Impression). I´m just to far away.

I got a word request…thinking about feisty makes me think about another one. what about frisky. :grin:

Oh, look who decided to chime in, Mr. all smiles all the time for everyone. Feel free to stay away from any of my comments here, With your condescending rubbish. Heck, you wouldn’t even have to type anything, I can tell your a miserable little twit from your avatar picture alone. :wink: I feel for ya…I really do. :sad:

Whats up dude? Page and I went to see Journey on wed, It was awesome! :smile: …little bbq in the parking lot, a few brews, and some good ol’ rock and roll…oh, good times, good times :grin: :grin:

Well that was a funny one. I always wondered why my dad always blamed the dog….now I know… :razz:

I prefer the bigger dogs as long as they aren’t too “feisty.” My favorite was a German Shorthair we had when I was a boy that my dad picked up in a bar parking lot in Alabama somewhere. He was on his way back from a fishing trip in Canada and my brother and I got the surprise of our lives when this big brown dog came lumbering out of his truck and licked us into submission. We named him Brock and he was a great companion for years. My favorite memories of him were when my dad got him to lay across the back of our legs so we wouldn’t get up when he was watching “Wild Kingdom”…..ah memories…. :cool:

Hey I would like to request a word…
Where did the the slang “Pussy” which refers to female genitals come from and is it closely related to the cat reference “Pussy Cat”?

I ment Tuesday. :oops:

I love that little dog! What kind is it? We like all types of dogs but we’ve had plenty of little dogs in the family. Recently, the dog judged “meanest” by dog owners themselves were dachshunds and we had our share of those too. I spoiled our last dog so much that when he was a pup, I used to sneak him into stores, movie theatres, etc. He learned to hunch down and be very quiet. I think he really liked some of the movies but he started barking during 101 Dalmatians…oooops!

Welcome back, Captain!

You are indeed famous! Are you going to show this to your friends, family, office workers and…maybe put it up on a billboard :razz:

pagedoll, You should name him rin tin tin

hm.. it took me like 5 tries before I could log in. :shock:
Anyway.. I’m back from my vacation, and back to the HFW website.
Hope all of you had or are going to have a great time this summer. I’d love to hear about where you’ve been and what you’ve visited.(that goes for Marina as well)

Now I’m off to watch, listen and comment to past lessons I’ve missed. (who knows… maybe I’ve made T/Pet and don’t even know it yet :grin: )
I’m especially looking forward to the Vampire lesson, I hope Marina mentioned the Dracula story originally from Romania. (that’s where I’m always writing to you from :P) —— FTR I am not a vampire, I don’t live in Transilvania, I live in Bucharest and I only drink blood on weekends! :lol:

Its a Maltese. Check this out :arrow: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_JjViA8GxA , you’ll love it! :smile:

Where did you go?!…do tell! :smile:

aLx, The AOD wants you in the office pronto.

When I was a kid we had a big dog (well alot of dogs seem big when your seven and short) but now it would have to be a med. size like a begal(snoopy).
It’s weird i was afraid of dogs for a long time, even having a big one, because when I was three, so I’m told, one attacked me in my front yard.
Not really a request, but ever notice the word one makes up most of he word alone.

annuddermale Watch what you say to pagedoll, she might turn you into the AOD, the you would get called to his office also.

…but I still want to come over and pick a 5 gallon pale of blueberries…with Page of course! :grin:

That is so cute!

capman911, no White Lightning allowed on the campus you need to go see the aod also

Ha Ha you should have named him area 51

Марина, why do Russian women always seem to have really big dogs?

Sorry Marina although I like animals in general I a cat person!

Hey Marina,
Just wondering why bars (place to drink not as in jail) are called bars. I know pub is short for public house.
Just a thought that poped into my head.

Ok I will share first. :-)
I’ve decided that the best way to sight see is by car. So I went on a 2 week Euro-trip and drove through some amazing places: Budapest (Hungary), Zagreb (Croatia), Venice (Italy)… but the best part was that along the way, I’ve discovered beauty in remarkable places I’ve never heard of before. I did a little bit of exploring I suppose, that is what made it original and set it apart from your normal vacation at a hotel resort. :-) I guess I also like the tourist bit, like getting a tan, spending a whole lot of money on stuff I don’t need, etc. But the experience of the trip.. the adventure before reaching your destination.. making your own timetable and sticking to it… that’s what makes this unique and worth it all. Maybe driving for 2000+ miles doesn’t come easy to everyone, but splitting it into a 400 miles/day average would make it ok for most.
I had a blast… made 2500 pictures and 5 hours of video, so there’s really not a dull moment.

How about you?! :cool:

How can one choose between the two? What type of shenanigans are you up too?

well this is not about a word for now, its a visual, a drawing, if you will, of you Marina I’d like to send to you. Please give me a way to send you it so that I can sleep better. Thanks

email it to me.. http://www.hotforwords.com/contact/

i wanna know where the word “squirm” came from :lol:

Wow I haven’t heard those words in years. Well not said in that way but very close. :mrgreen:

Tnks, JCR. :wink:

Where does the word violin come from? I play the violin, so it would be interesting to find out. :grin:

Oh that was funny! I had to add that one to my favorites.

Chris Brown, Time to shut you down Love, Aol of the AOD

OMG you have Ed Hardy in i love him!!! also i love little dogs like my pug :eek:

anyway i’m requesting the word “Word” :cool:

xoxo Amanda — http://youtube.com/user/AnotherRainDrop

Oh thats a good one i hope she dose it!!

I have the first movie on DVD and I should have watched it last night instead of “The Princess Bride”. But that is one of my all time favorites. :grin: I even found some words I need to have Marina look into.

So I have my advanced tickets. I bought tickets for everyone but I don’t think I can get them to you in time. The movie starts in about an hour and a half. :cry:

I hope this movie is as good as the last one. I really like the darker version more than the other because it became too corny. :roll:

I’ll be back and post my review. No I won’t give it all away. What do you think, im stupid? I don’t have my sign so I know I’m not. LOL :lol:

Oh Mike you crack me up! :lol: :lol:

Oh I need a glass of water now! *cough cough …

Im a super big fan of Family Guy. If you really read more into the show, you can find some very disgusting references. I have the DVD collection and found so much bad stuff Im shocked that it even airs. Brian trying to get some with Loise? Whats up with that? Stewie strapped to a stretching board with Loise wearing leather and carrying a whip. Whats up with that? I’ll tell you.. it just damn funny! :mrgreen:

My first choise is a German Shepard, a large dog. They are very loyal to there owners. While I was deployed my, then, wife bought a Shih Tzus, she was very cute. So for an inside dog I would go with a little one. :wink:

Well, I don’t go on vacation much but the last time I did It was a 45-46 mile backpacking trip in Kings Canyon. The whole thing was a clockwise loop starting at about 5400ft elevation and at mid point its about 12000ft elevation. We took 7 days to do it, which is slow for some but we were in no hurry. We went in mid June and only saw two other people the whole time. Keep in mind when your at the Rae lakes you are about 25-30 mile away anything, except for a ranger sation about a mile away from the rae lakes. It was are second time doing the loop…had to go back and see it all again! I found a vid a guy made while he hiked the whole loop, part 1 :arrow: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7hgqX5kB0o and part 2 :arrow: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1Wk_nh1cWE and heres a pretty good vid of glen pass which is about half way as well as the highest point of the trip :arrow: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPlhcxXcCwg …the lakes you see way way down there are the rae lakes, about 1900ft down. I would recommend this hike to anybody who dosen’t mind doing some serious packin’ for a great pay off. :grin:

I like great white sharks like in the movie Jaws. I would not mind having a shark tank in my backyard. I would name him Jaws!

I’ve always like larger dogs because thats I grew up with. For small dogs I would have to pick a Jack Russel for two reasons. Very smart and easier to care for on a small sailing yacht. Big dogs and small sailing yachts don’t work well. When I first saw you with Kobe, I thought to myself, Now look what she bought, A large white rat! But now that I have seen Kobe playing around, I really beginning to like the little bugger.

But all that said I prefer a cat any day. If they fall overboard they are able to swim to the boat and climb up a rope laid overboard. Dogs need some sort of rescue ramp or life jacket with a hoisting handle. Dogs you have to baby sit, while cats can watch out for themselfs. I have friends with larger yachts and have swim steps or gangways for dogs to climb up on.

…your trip sounds like it was awesome!…I would love to take a road trip like that some day!! :mrgreen:

The AOD just OD’ed. Call 911.

I saw and Ed Hardy t-shirt today and had to look him up. I never heard of the guy.

Funny thing though. I was in the Navy and never got a tattoo. I could never find anything that I would want to have printed on my body for the rest of my life. Now if I could change them any time I wanted to or just remove them. Then hell yes I would get one. I’ve done a few temporary tattoos, but to this day haven’t found the perfect one. Also I really don’t care that much.

ok, i have Ed hardly shoes and a hat

Hey that give me a good word request “tattoos”

what do you think?

As long as we’re talking bizarre pets, I think it would be cool if we could have wooly mammoths and ride them around like the Sand People on Tatooine in Star Wars. No more Peak Oil problems as well! Start lobbying your elected officials to start the genetic engineering research now.

big dogs :evil:

Have you take a trip to Bran Castle, it is just around the corner from you? Went there before my ex-wife and I got married, we was married in Bucharest. Beautiful City Bucharest, anyway she couldn’t get used to being away from home so she left and took the dog too. :cry: I love history and there is so much of it in Europe to see. :smile:

Ta, Marina!

You are true to your word.

I had to think about the homework for awhile, and it brought me to a realization: I like most dogs better than their people, with a couple exceptions.

Big dogs, little dogs, they’re all pretty lovable when you can’t have one at home (no dogs allowed). Dogs relate to me pretty well because I always acknowledge them immediately. They love that.

I had a spaniel-terrier mutt when I was a kid, a real skunkhound. She was very ladylike; as well-behaved a dog as you could ever expect, but she also loved to participate in play activities so she couldn’t be trusted not to give away my location during those late-summer twilight hide-and-seek games.

Pass that jug, Mike! Damn, he fell asleep.

Seemed like they gummed up the works a bit.

someone make a iPhone app so I can view Marina from my iPhone.

In French TO FART = PÉTER but if somebody is lively we say also “IL PÈTE LA FORME”.
Of course PÉTER means also TO BREAK in slang, but nevertheless it seems that farting is a token of health… :mrgreen:

I love sharks too but they are a bit feisty. In a swimming pool they make too many bubbles.

German Nazi Shepherds are really great ! :mrgreen:

The root is Latin : INTELLIGENS = INTER + LEGENS :
INTER means “among, between”.
LEGENS means “picking up”.
INTELLIGENCE is when you are able to “pick up” the good elements among concepts.

Thanks, CaptainJack.

I am honored. In return I shall tattoo my autograph on your face Maori style. A true sailor’s badge of courage by way of the original world navigators! Here, stand still a second….

Of course, I can’t resist something such as this.. people come from all over the world to see Bran, “Dracula’s Castle”. So you can imagine that for me… 172 km are no big deal.
I’m sorry to hear about your ex-wife, but since you said you liked history… maybe I can tell you something you didn’t know.

Dracula’s name was Vlad Tepes, also known as Vlad Dracul(meaning devil) or Draculea to local Transilvanians. His story is well known by all Romanians as he is a part of history that will never die.
His castle, Bran, still stands today.

But I must say that Dracula is a fictive character that is elaborately colored in light and shadow by Bram Stoker, in his novel. The author is believed to have taken inspiration from this “bloody tyrant” that lived during 1431 and 1476.

Vlad’s ways of dealing with his enemies were exceptionally cruel and included cutting different appendages off or stabbing. But his most common was driving men throw a spike! These bloody scenes earned him a reputation of a blood thirsty tyrant, always seeking to “drink the blood of men”. All these are elements found in the description of what we now know today, as Dracula.

I adore Labradors. :smile:
Licorice, Honey and Chocolate … Yummy.
But I couldn’t eat a whole one. :grin:

you look like you have a tattoo sleeve

I like medium dogs like Labradors.

The times I went there I didn’t know as much as I would liked to have. I would liked to have gone to another castle Vlad had built and was trapped in so his wife killed herself so she wouldn’t get captured. I think it is north of Bran and hard to walk to. Also when I was staying in Snagof I didn’t know that it was roomered that he was buried in the monastary on the island in the lake. We boated by it but didn’t dock there. I was asked the first time I went to Bucharest what I thought of it and I said it looked old. They laughed and said it was all new. This was in November 2001. We, my wife and I went to the village museum and she said the wooden desk for was like the desk she had in school. I really enjoyed it there. The thing that really got me was the beggers on the street would come up to me for a hand out or hand me a note written in english and when I would respond in Romanian the would ask me in English. I couldn’t help them all. :sad: But I did enjoy my visits to your country.

Graphic Image Manipulation Program.

lol at your gravatar :P cool hehe

…..itunes….

Thanks lol

Sorry, this has nothing to do with the dogs, this has to do with the tattoos on your arms. I REALLY hope those tattoos on your arm’s aren’t permanent because they degrade your natural beauty. I am 54 yrs. old and I can tell you that you are probably THEE most beautiful, intelligent woman I’ve ever seen, you DO NOT need ANY tattoos to make you more beautiful. You are perfect as you are!!!!

Thanks for being you and having this website!!!!!

Oh, try the word “smokepole” and see what you come up with!!

Thanks Darlin’,
I’ll log on later,
Philsa

hay you are really beautiful sexy and smart

….are you serious :P dude…it’s just a shirt :razz: :lol:

I like big dogs. I have two Rottweilers.

I’m allergic to dogs :( Guess I won’t be visiting any time soon.

I’m glad to hear that. Bucharest has gone a long way since 2001, it’s very busy, heavy traffic all the time and I think it’s having a little trouble blending the old with the new.. I hope you didn’t limit yourself just to the capital city, there is a lot of uniqueness in this country, I had the privilege to discover for myself. We take little credit since nature did most of the amazing work. About the beggers, it’s true.. that is a problem since it’s a very profitable occupation for some.
Not quite there yet, but considering that we’ve only freed ourselves from the communist regime in `89, and just joined NATO and the EU in 2007, I think we’re on the right road.

oh…that would make one feisty… :shock: :roll:

Did you know sailors used black power to tattoo themselfs? I know this for a fact because my black powder burns have faded away over the years. The powder really works well. I just don’t care for the blue.

only happens to me when i write a comment, think to myself, “naw – let’s forget this ‘un & do annudder” and don’t cancel the comment…
then it shows up in the next comment box.

which is pretty cool when i decide it just needs to be up a level…

but canceling the reply deletes what i’ve written… :cool:

i like little dogs better cause they dont seem like they can jump a fence and attack

btw, pagedoll’s avatar plays homage to a friend of his…odd, i know, but that is pagedoll… :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :razz: :razz: :razz:

send it to Marina anyway – the vid did say “to be continued” and she didn’t get to use all the pics – i know, ’cause Illa didn’t show up and ’bout chewed my leg off until i explained it to her… :cool:

hmmm…think it will work on her Mac?… :shock: :cool:

me, either…

I would like to request the word :shock: hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia. :shock: All that I know is that it means the fear of long words (ironic, to say the least,) and that it is very hard to say.

Ok for all those who want to know about the movie “Dark Night”. This is not a spoiler so feel free to read on. It was 2:45 when the movie ended this morning. Im very tired so here it goes.

Well, Im having trouble finding clean words that truly describe my feelings for the movie. So here it goes, IT WAS £#¢|<∑π FANTASTIC!!!!

The movie preview is not even close of what you will be watching. Just think the trailer is just a collection of random footage, thats it. It really give you no clue of what the movie is about or how it will play out.
If you like the first movie then you have to go see this one TODAY! It will keep you guessing all the way to the end. Every time I thought the movie was over and it was winding down, it was only the beginning. They really pulled out all the stops on this film.

Im not a big fan of sequels because usually they are just rehashing what we already know. Like the movie Matrix, I thought the first one was the best because I didn’t know what to expect. The two that followed that, well the cat was out of the bag then.

The Dark Knight is the plot. It’s taut, smart and gripping. Even the an old 1960′s Navy trick called Skyhook is believable. I have mention before about cellphone companies being able to remotely turning on the microphone on your cellphone. Well they do that, but with an interesting twist I didn’t even think about.

There was one special effect I kept asking myself, how did they do that so well? I could not tell if it was makeup or CGI. Im very good at spotting CGI in movies but this one just took the cake.

There is something in this movie for everyone. Even I got to see a really nice sailboat full of babes. There is a bit of a love triangle. The building explosions where breath taking. There was even one part that got me to jump out of my seat. I don’t scare easily, just ask my friends that have tried it and failed.

Heath Ledger did an awesome job as the Joker. The story line made me believe this guy could be for real even in todays world.

Is this movie worth watching again. Well you’ll know all the secrets of how it will end so you won’t get the same effect as the first time, but I would be willing to see it again on DVD.

It gets my vote for the best movie this year. Sorry for my random thoughts on this movie. Im very tired and I just wanted to get this out before I crash for the night morning. So go see it. Its worth the price ( would have paid double to watch this movie ), even though I think all movies are over priced for what you get.

Talking about Dark Knight, where does the word Knight originate from??

( DUO PRIMA ) and i would like to know what it means and where it came from any one have a clue as to what this means ???
Cnacn6o yours truly

Not bad! But I think this word has slightly richer history. Besides, I’d like to see Marina explain it.

More of a cat guy myself…..

capman, it only happens to me when I cancel a comment before I submit it. Let me see if it dos what you are saying.

Nope… it starts fresh once I have submitted the comment.

I like a dog that is not too large or too small. About as tall as my knee but not over mid thigh. The best dog I ever had the joy of having was a black lab – pit bull mix. He had the most easy going nature and loved to be with me doing anything we could find to get into. He liked to jump in the pond to fetch a stick I’d thrown in and he loved it when I’d set him on an armadillo. They run quite fast but have poor eyesight so he would get nearly on top of them and they’d take off like a shot. He missed some and caught some and the ones he caught would go into their defensive posture of getting into a ball. He would bite and paw but nothing would penetrate the tough shell. I’d eventually call him off and he’d sit by my leg and watch the armadillo eventually trot off. His name was Razor, he was a good boy, I miss him terribly. :cry:
Dogs give us love unconditionally, they love to be with us. That is a hard love to find :smile:

I like average sized dogs. The golden retriever and Labrador retriever are my favorite breeds. Too small, and you might as well have a cat (at least a cat will use a litter box and won’t be so yappy). To big, and they are all over the place, knocking stuff over – and more importantly, you always need to be able to take your dog in a fair fight. If you’re dog is stronger than you, it’s too much dog. :smile:

Hi! I would like to know the meaning of the word “word”… that’s all! Thanks! :mrgreen:

Word request: CALUMNY ( n. False and malicious accusation – usually in a formal setting )

I know what it means, but where did it come from? It’s definition is making rounds in offical Mensa circles as to its PRECISE meaning.

Stuck in killer med school on a tiny little island in the Caribbean, I’d be interested in the word “medicine” :mrgreen:

I chime in wherever and whenever I want.
yeah, right, I’m a twit, not being able to grasp the deeper meaning of your comments or something.
always strikes me kinda funny how people “analyze” and judge other people by their looks or small pictures. good job, dude.

try a little harder next time, will ya?

school_dean_hot4.u,

what does “aod” stand for?

Fiesty says http://www.hotforwords.com/2007/08/27/womens-dictionary-2/

Hi everyone. Please tell me ladexactly what Marina is saying from 1:21 to 1:30. What I know is ; There is a joke that old ladies would blame and (?) passing of the gas on their little (?) dogs. Please tell me what she is saying.

You better be interested in that word, or you are in for years of mind boggling boredom.

“… would blame an obvious passing of the gas …”?

Haha, the mind is certainly boggled!

Though, like most other things, it’s boring at times and interesting at times. Its location on the Caribbean beach is a big plus, too! :wink:

The origin of the word would certainly be interesting :mrgreen:

Thank you Jack Siskel. :lol: Good review. I am going to see it at the Imax theater. Can’t wait.

Hwk: Littler dogs can be great, but I like ‘larger’ single hairs that don’t seem to take-up much room and aren’t sluggish, more a personality match than a ‘rule of thumb’. My favorite when handled right is Bouvier Des Flandres http://www.justdogbreeds.com/bouvier-des-flandres.html but only from time spent knowing one. So agile, icredibly smart, extra fast, powerful & strong Bob was the most talented & socially keen animal I’ve ever known. Without fail he’d turn the Dog Park into something it wasn’t before he arrived: leaping over larger dogs from a dead stance to 90 degree cuts at full speed to running in ever smaller circles until eventually every dog chasing him spun-off…but it was his sense for other dogs & how they equated into a pack at any one time that amazed others, in a flash he seemed to know & understand another dog better than anyone—even their owner–one of my nicknames for him was ‘Optimista’. The perfect dog for a feisty master and I don’t mourn his passing (sort-of) but I mourn that it happened alone, without me there. He’d intuit: thank’s for the honor of your tear, now, go mix-it-up & have fun…

I suffer from luposlippaphobia. It’s the fear of being chased by wolves while wearing socks on a slippery kitchen floor. :lol:

Not really a fan of the little ankle biters. I prefer the larger breeds.

Which category does a Bulldog fit into anyways?

Due to the sexual nature of a lot of the content on Youtube (including yourself :grin: ) i have a question about the origin of the word ‘ORGY’.

HW: I like bigger dogs, you can play rougher with them and they are more fun to run with. I remember my grandfather’s dog Guiness, a Rottweiler-Labrador mix, the sweetest dog in the world who loved to put his head on your knee while you watched the football game. Little yippy dogs are just annoying to listen to.

Ain’t nuthin’ wrong with a little pu…..

Really? I didn’t notice. I’m going to have to watch this video again and really pay attention.

errr.

“… an obvious passing of the gas on their little lap dogs …”

http://www.eyeglasses.com/

I like the dog, Rowdy, on Scrubs. It doesn’t need to be walked or cleaned up after. You don’t have to feed it, water it, pet it, etc. The perfect pet.
It’s stuffed! :mrgreen:
I am a fish person. Tropical fish are very relaxing to watch, feeding is a snap. No walking or cleaning up the yard. The tanks (bigger IS better) are easy to keep clean once setup.

Watch the movie “10″ w/ Bo Derek and Dudley Moore. The scene where Moore interviews the preacher who married Bo to her husband. The preacher has a housekeeper who breaks wind and the ( rather large ) dog runs for cover. :lol:

Labradors are great dogs! Beautiful, smart, loyal. You definitely wouldn’t want to eat one all in one sitting. I usually just do one leg at a time. :lol:

:razz: meow, purr purr!!!!!! :lol: :smile: :roll:

I use to have a pet alligator. One time he escaped in a lake we lived near, but I got him back.

Oh, try the word “totempole” and see what you come up with!!

Thanks Darlin’,
I’ll log on later,
Philsa

I see you play Halo. Gamer tag: GERONIMO xx We should play sometime. Lately I have been mostly playing Call of duty 4 though.

maybe it’s a lap thing. you know, cats sitting on women’s laps or something. “lick / suck / eat my lap” doesn’t sound too cool, huh.

When I looked at your arms I was thinking, Da plane! Da plane!

Thank you! very kind guy aLx! I am Japanese learning English on this site. I owe you.

In French TO FART = PÉTERED OUT= Take a rest and smoke a cigarette

In short, to pass gas and to be lively have the same meaning??

Sorry, I don’t get the totem pole reference.

We have 2 Yorkshire Terriers (Annie and Lucy) and they don’t pass gas very much, but they do make a LOT of noise for such a little tyke. Unbelievable it is.

I am finding. And when i search for a word it only finds it once. seems to work on other pages.. is anyone else getting this too?

He minds better than some children. :wink:

A cat is furry, loves to be rubbed, and it breath smells of fish. You do the math.

I swear Alx your just to much. I going to have to make my own smiley face there not showing up for me. :))

I dig the av…you’re a pretty sharp kid James…keep it up!!

For the reason that I think my mate’s newfoundland dog is pretty cool, despite slobbery :lol: I probably prefer big dogs over smaller dogs. However, I do like small dogs as well.

As long as the doggie doesn’t bite me, then i am happy :razz: :smile:

Good one!!

working now

She’s to old for you, she loves me. :wink:

me too :)

I think feisty can be described about cats as well, as my cat likes to “pass gas”. Especially when he is happy/content :lol:

My brother had a small one when we were teens. He left him out side one day without water and the sun dried him up. :shock:

No she is not!!

You know she is 300 years old. :wink: So you like older women :?:

Yes

When I was younger and lived on another farm. We would take the cows when we got hungry and cut off one leg and sew them back up so the cow would still have three legs to walk around on. We had a lot of three legged cows and goats. :lol: :lol: :lol:

All of this word/saying requests reminded me of this weird saying that I had learned way back at primary school.

The saying/rule of grammar was (‘I’ before ‘E’, except after ‘C’). For example, ‘receive’, ‘receipt’.

And yet there are words that contradict that saying/rule of grammar. For example, ‘ancient’, ‘glacier’, ‘fancied’. :lol:

That’s my random ponder of the day :wink:

:shock: Whoah! I freaked out a little when I saw your floral sleeves. I started to think you got tattoos on your arms overnight or something. I’m like ‘how did I miss those in her previous videos?’
Oh, and I am more of a big dog type of person.

MMMMM gator jerky

Any time. I am always at home. I watched those hiking videos you posted. That is some beautiful county. The only thing around here to look at is the back side of Fort Bragg. They have some good training land they open up for deer season. You really have to look out for unexploded ordinances lying on the ground. Some times they miss picking up a few. :smile:

Well cap, that’s just mean. I always give my dogs wooden legs. No that’s compassion! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

My brother has a Jack Russel Terrier. They are very hyper dogs, his is at least. You will need a big big boat for it to run around on. :lol:

I down loaded it and tried it, it was over my head. Not smart enough to work that one. I’ll stick to photo shop. But thanks a lot for the offer. :smile:

Hi Marina – Thank you for your great podcasts! I have a word idea…
I was watching CSI on TV last night, and they had to dig up a “Jane Doe”. Which got me to wonder, who picked Jane?, and Doe for that matter! John Doe for guys. Is it the same generic name in other countries?
I love seeing your puppy in the videos as well, and you must have a HUGE closet of cloths!
Thank you so much for making word origins fun.

The Border collie I have is like that. She is very easy around children and loves to chase a ball. She will try to herd the cats around the house. Instinct bred in them I guess. She will bring the ball back to you and drop it at your feet for you to throw again. :smile: :smile:

Yes I’m very sorry you some boring times Dr. Caribbean! :evil:

Thanks for the reviw/info! Can’t wait to see it :!:

Sun

The word “Sun” I know there is a Germanic Sun Goddess named Sunna, as well as a Viking Goddess named Sol as in Solar system.. Which came first? Was the Goddess named after the Sun, or the Sun named after the Goddess?

AWWWWWW, what a wee lil bundle of fluff Kobie is. I love all types of dogs M. Grew up with Bruno a Labby as a weener. Used to hang underneeth him like a lil monkeyman being carried around everyplace! :smile: kinda Jungle book stylie!

Love dogs that learn tricks and things. Duko (Biggish – Staffy Cross) is a bit smart at times. Has been excellent to train so far. He enjoys new things altough hard at breaking his old habbits. Big softy, now locally known as Soppy Bollocks by the ever ageing community. At first people would cross the street to avoid us as he looks all mean and narly, at first. But now they shout Duko, Soppy Bollocks!! He lathers all will kisses and hugs…..I would like to send you some photos of him, do I just send to HFW.com ??

Regarding the ‘phew, fiesty’ part, well, yep, they do let go some rotters occasionaly. Most unpleasant at times! Just dont feed them Brussle Sprouts, did that once, two day woffters lingering around, could almost chew on them and blow bubbles!! :shock:

Do you know how a dog became known as a mans best friend?

Palindromes:- :smile:
Go deliver a dare, vile dog!

Dogma: I am God

Anyhoo, much to do………..

P.s.
M, love your dressed down look too with furball biteing your hair. Quite fetching! :smile:

The joys of the Caribbean… :mrgreen:

There’s a word my friend just brought up and I’d love to know the meaning.

DIPSTICK. Seriously, why does that stand for someone who is dumb or absent minded. I’d love to know. Xoxo :cool:

…..found a Pangram containing the word dog…..

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog :cool:

i already wondered who did your hair.
cute little doggy

Hey Pedantickarl, Hows it going? My Fire Fox seems to working better today, but I am not pushing it like I was yesterday with all of the refreshing. Thanks for your help. I know who to call on next time I have a problem.

I use photoshop… so hard to learn a new program! Have heard of it though! Thanks :-)

yeah, I before E except after C but only in certain places. Is a most confusing language :smile:

May we jump on :?:

i love labradors and retrievers goes there sweet hearted and are very good in keeping burglars away xd

didn’t gimp start out as some sort of photoshop for lnx? if i recall correctly it’s pretty intuitive.

Dear Marina, I agree that small dogs can be feisty, but large dogs can be very fierce! Dogs can be very gentle, too. In the Army we had a German shepherd that wandered into our camp. She apparently ran away from her owner or from an enemy K-9 handler. She was gentle and I fed her meat from my own rations at first. We named her “Sig” because we were a Signal Corps detachment. I made sure she had fresh water and dog food every day. She liked it when I gave her a bath because I’d do a thorough job. When we took field trips to our remote signal sites, she would come with us, instead of remaining at Camp. At night, she would walk the perimeter with us, and when I slept, she chose to sleep near me. I’d get into my sleeping bag, and she would sleep next to me, pressing against my sleeping bag to keep warm. No, I never let her inside my sleeping bag. She was very protective. If she heard a strange noise at night, she would bark! Nothing can wake me faster than a dog bark from inches away. After I checked things, she would fall asleep again faster than I could. At camp, she would sleep next to my bunk in warm weather, and in cool weather, she would climb on my bunk and sleep over me. No, I never let her get under the sheets. When I was reassigned, I left Sig in care of other soldiers in Camp. She did very well, and I never have owned another dog. Because I’m away at work ten hours a day, it would be too long to leave a dog alone.
At the end of your video you show Kobe pawing at your hair and even taking nips at it. Don’t teach your dog bad behaviors! Your hair always looks so good in your videos, it made me unhappy to see you with messy hair. Also, Kobe could do this to the wrong person. Suppose Kobe took the hairpiece off a big advertiser for your site, or off a big TV interviewer? Worse still, Kobe might take the wig off your wealthy, bald Russian boyfriend! (I’m only making a joke.) Your dear student, seesix CM6

James,
I did try eating with out a fork at dinner with friends. , made for an interesting conversation, and a mess!!! You got any handy tips on how to eat with minimal mess, I think its a fun thing to do :smile:

In Thailand, I think you hold a spoon in the right hand and a fork in the left, if I remember correctly. Feels a bid weird however quite fun again :smile:

You ate without a fork in front of friends!! :shock: :shock: :shock: Yes I found it is easier just to use 3 fingers ( thumb,index,&middle) as you get better grip than using all 5. What did you eat?

I HAVE FOUND THE ORIGIN OF THE WORD “WORD”!!!

Marina, I have found a great word and it would be really funny if you would make a video about its origin, would certainly give some laughs the word is “avocado”.

James

I have GIMP! its good, i whitened my teeth on one picture, and got rid of mums crows feet!

…. where have the rating karma buttons gone?

I can break this down too!

hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia

Hippopotomo (hippo)

mostroses (monsters)

esquiped (equipped)

alio ( the big ship sails on the ally ally o)

phobia (phoia)

hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia is the fear of Hippo like monsters that are equipped with big ships…. HAUL ASS! :lol:

Greetings,

I would like to know how the word “Mulligan” has come to have two meanings as in “Mulligan stew” and “Do over” referring to golf…. Care to investigate?

Kind regards,

Sparkz

Your avatar is a hippo like monster

Roast Chicken with all the trimmings, gravy too!! Never one for slurping my dinner plate! 3 fingers eh, I can see where I went wrong. Was kinda messy and I dont think they are my friends anymore!!! :sad:

Desert was, trying. Hot apple pie with cream. The thing is, now I just want to try all the other dishes out too with out a fork. Out with mum for lunch this Sunday so may have to bahave, shes my mama after all so what else can I do?? :smile:

just had a thought james….should try eating food with feet!!!!! you up for giving that a go? :lol:

melikadothechacha has gone to thats 3 people in 1 week!

We call those little dogs ankle biters. :lol:

Yes I use to use Mulligans all the time in golf (back when I REALLY sucked at at) and I don’t even know where it came from. Could be interesting.

Cool vid. Is that you in the reflection?

I have an interesting question about dogs and cats. Why do dogs and cats smell each others butts when they get around each other? I know this sounds kinda nasty to ask, butt it is a dog, fart or feisty video. It’s kinda related. :???:

what does dictatorship mean

who’s the second person besides RRR. :?:

It’s pronounced Kaaaa-nigit.

Our ancestors were all animists. So you have the answer !

:mrgreen:

Do you still have two eggs ? :mrgreen:

Yes, but can you break mine down?

we always had small dogs

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dictatorship

In Latin a DICTATOR is the man who says EGO DICO “I say” and DICTUM EST “it has been said” so don’t discuss my saying and obey my orders otherwise I will spank you and even more !

lostforwords? wy is everyone leaving anyway…? and how did you know melikadothechacha left..?

Oh, I must have missed the to be continued part! Ok….thanks annuddermale. I will send her my German Shepherd’s picture and hope it makes it into another video.

I am going to try to put him into a Gravatar also, but last night I could not get gravatar.com to open on my computer.

BOARGMIR :razz:

What the heck is a German NAZI Shepherd???

Do you mean a Shepherd with direct bloodlines to Germany? :?:

Our breeder imports Shepherds from Germany.

BoArgMir

yep, that’s me : )

Can’t really see though. :oops:

If you’ll go back to the sisyphean video and scroll down the page you will see a lot of arguing going on. Marina put out a message on there about she was loosing members because of the arguing. So I guess some of the ones who thought they were the problem left. This has been going on for a while, but it was getting worse. I quit twice myself and the members and Marina asked me to come back. The site has gotten 100 percent better with out all of the tension.

Yeah……I was wondering who the other dog was in the pictures, bc you don’t see him in her home.

That must be Gucci :?: Does she have both of them in her home?

BoArgMir :grin:

Flatulence humor http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bk8g3pOvTTQ

I hate dogs

WHAT?? :mad:

melikadothechacha did not seem to be much of a troublemaker to me! :!:

I hope he did not leave. He has be here a long time and is a very active poster and member of this site.

Marina–was he a troublemaker :?:

BoArgMir

I can’t get You Tube to play any videos, is it just me?

Sure you can. Caucasian male, no facial hair, dark hair appears to be parted on left side.

:lol:

Capman911–

I think that is how they get to know each other. That area has distinctive scents. Don’t you notice they do that to humans, too?

It is not sexual or wacala. (Wacala is my new favorite word–it means disgusting in spanish)

BoArgMir :mrgreen:

Dear Teach,

Homework: Little dogs (toy poodles!) are best but a big Labrador or a retriever is wonderful when outdoors hunting, hiking and running at the beach. Like most of your fans I love dogs!

A request: As you no doubt know, dogs are known in the United States as, “Man’s best friend.” I was wondering where this expression originated. I once heard that it came from the argument made by an eloquent lawyer in a case over the wrongful killing of a dog but I don’t know if this is true. The quote, attributable to a former U.S. senator is, “The one absolutely unselfish friend that a person may have in this selfish world, the one that will never desert you, the one that never proves ungrateful, and never treacherous is a dog.”

Das Vadanya, Q :)

why the { mean } word mean : the bad person in US , and its mean : the person who don’t like spend money and like the money so much in UK :???: :???: :???: :???:

:arrow: Ok….I am not lambasting you or anything…but …I don’t think you are supposed to help Marina out by giving the answer or posting links to the answer. :mrgreen:

In one video, Marina called that cheating to go looking things up before she got a chance to teach the students.. :smile:

BoArgMir

Thanks BoArgMir. I’ll have to remember wacala for disgusting. :smile:

he asked what does dictatorship means, not the origin of the word :wink:

Impressive. Are you a detective? :?:

That bit at the end seemed to simply be a bit of fun between the two of them that makes them mutually happy. I’m sure the lil dog wouldn’t do that to anyone else. That was just private time :grin:

Nothing so surprising as a dogs nose in your crotch :smile:

Administrator on Duty, I think Alx.

:arrow: Dear Marina,

Requesting to know the origin of the phrase “COLD TURKEY”. A client of mine quit smoking “cold turkey” and now that I am a student of yours, I pay more attention to these odd little phrases that we say every day!! See what you are doing to us :wink:

So why are cold turkeys associated with quitting something addictive? I’d really like to know.

No cheating people…don’t go answering this before Marina does :grin:

BoArgMir

Ok, Foxbow15…..you are right…..I guess he did just want the definition, not the origin. :oops:

BoArgMir

She has Gucci at a friends house. He or she got to big for her apartment.

No problemo, capman. On the word Wacala, the emphasis is on the first syllable. Don’t want you to embarrass yourself or anything around native spanish speakers. :wink:

It’s okay now

NOt having problems with you tube…just watched your fart link. That was interestingly funny.

Hi Marina,

My word request is “After-math”. As in the “after-math” of war or a disaster. I think it has maybe something to do with calculating a monetary cost involved after an event but I’m not sure. I’m looking forward to your investigation. I love this class!!

-Stayawake

:?: Geronimo—

How did you see him? I only see a finger holding the camera and the camera strap hanging down.

BoArgMir

I’d like to request a word-troglodite-TY.

Troglodite by-Jimmy Castor Band

What we’re gonna do right here is go back, way back, back into time.
When the only people that existed were troglodytes…cave men…
cave women…Neanderthal…troglodytes. Let’s take the average
cave man at home, listening to his stereo. Sometimes he’d get up,
try to do his thing. He’d begin to move, something like this:
“Dance…dance”. When he got tired of dancing alone, he’d look
in the mirror: “Gotta find a woman gotta find a woman gotta find a
woman gotta find a woman”. He’d go down to the lake where all the
women would be swimming or washing clothes or something. He’d look
around and just reach in and grab one. “Come here…come here”.
He’d grab her by the hair. You can’t do that today, fellas, cause
it might come off. You’d have a piece of hair in your hand and she’d
be swimming away from you (ha-ha). This one woman just lay there,
wet and frightened. He said: “Move…move”. She got up. She was a
big woman. BIG woman. Her name was Bertha. Bertha Butt. She was one
of the Butt sisters. He didn’t care. He looked up at her and said:
“Sock it to me sock it to me sock it to me sock it to me sock it to me
sock it to me sock it to me sock it to me!”. She looked down on him.
She was ready to crush him, but she began to like him. She said

“I’ll sock it to ya, Daddy”. He said: “Wha?”. She said
“I’ll sock it to ya, Daddy”. You know what he said? He started it way
back then. I wouldn’t lie to you. When she said
“I’ll sock it to ya, Daddy” he said “Right on! Right on! Hotpants!
Hotpants! Ugh…ugh…ugh”.

For what it’s worth Led Zeppelin(and others I’ll guess) said “the pain of war cannot exceed the woe of aftermath”.

Look @ Twixt 6 and 12 seconds into the video.

Yea that movie rocked! I went into the movie think it would be as good as the first one, but I didn’t expect I would like it better than the first.
I wished I seen it at the Imax but they never do previews at Imax. I think I might have to go see it again. :cool:

Yeah it is pretty tough, but if somebody teaches you and guides you in it, it becomes so much easier and a lot more fun too!!! You could also learn a whole lot, but you don’t have to if ya don’t want to.

I was wondering also on the word wont (not won’t or want, but wont) how it came to be and its origin…could you do an investigation?

-Shawneyboy

You’re very welcome, Marina! Always glad to be of service :!:

later,
Shawn

So far melikadothechacha rrr and lostforwords have left I know chacha has left becuase of you look at the comments on the slang words poll you can see he has said he was leaving, this was on the 9th of july i think

You can always go back to the last lesson and send him a comment from there to see if he replys to you.

Uggghhhh! I give up….

still don’t see it Bob…….I was curious and now frustrated. Oh well. :roll:

melikadothechacha on July 9th, 2008 10:58 am

I have noticed a sad trend at the HotForWords blog.
Commentors are choosing to leave, myself among them.

The site is infested with hateful individuals who are not
sexy or intelligent. I’m bored, I’m leavin’ – sorry baby.
The hate speak coming through the screen from your site,
not you, is what bores me. I could choose not to be bored,
then you end up with “time warp” and other problems you
don’t need. …then I’M not intelligent or sexy, and that is
not good – sorry, I have to take a pass. You are going
to see a lot of fighting without my adding to it, as it is.
There is no cure for that kind of ignorance <- word request

I did have quite a lot of fun these last six monthes, leaving
comments for your interested viewers, and I enjoyed most
of their responses. Yours, to, Marina. Your bluetooth/fat ass
joke was the funniest thing I have read in a LONG time!

Food for thought.

There is no option to selectively omit seeing the comments
based upon entering a screen name, or keyword.
To be clear, here are some examples:

shit, fuck, pussy, cunt, cocksucker, etc are words I ought to be
able to add to a list such that when they are used in comments,
I am not obliged pay any notice, nor respond. Simply block
the comment. Maybe even display a message “comment not shown”

The same goes for individual screen names. I am sure some
folks are cheering this suggestion, with the idea of adding my
name to their exceptions list ( I know, it goes both ways ).

I haven’t cancelled my subscription, nor will I.
I will still watch your lessons and do my
homework – but that’s about it.

I have shed coComments, as I have no real
use for it – especially since Hot For Words
has no interest in giving any lessons, beyond
the sales pitch?! What’s with that? :roll:
feel ya later!

James, why do you say melikadothechacha is gone? Is he gone?

:razz: capman, we call them “rat dogs”

No offense to Marina’s Kobe, ok. :wink:

That was amazing video catching that little guy eating away. I feel a bit sorry for the sucker that pays for that candy bar. :sad: Rodents are very smart little critters. I used to have a rat, that I trained to so a few tricks. Come, Stay, and Beg where the 3 commands I would use the most. You can train them like a dog. It just amazes me how such a small brained critter can learn tricks.

Just posted his comment above this one

Are you a member of Mensa?

Thanks for the review.

The last time a big movie came out where one of the main actors died was the original movie of “The Crow” with the late Brandon Lee.

He was just starting out and he was hoping this movie would be his big break to get out of his dad’s (Bruce Lee) shadow.

Were there other movies with dead main characters?

Mean is also a nasty person in the uk as well :lol:

hopefully not. who’s gonna take me on a tour next time I’m in fl?

Thanks Pagedoll

Oh my god.. Prepared to be banned if you eat like that in a restaruant. I cant eat with my feet, although I am VERY flexible I don’t think I can control my toes that well. Thanks for the suggestion though. I already tried eating strawberries and cream yesterday, with chopsticks.. It was a complete failure :sad: !

I think it would be good if you did a video on prefixes and suffixes so we could better understand them. Punctuation as well.

Have a good day, Marina and fellow students,

Hello BoArgMir and foxbow15 my favorite SkyPilot to be. (ref: The Animals),
Please don’t take this as an argument to take away from both of your positions. If I may, I would like to offer another way of looking at this.

Many of us, including me, when we are in a hurry or English is our second language, we don’t speak precisely. I am always having to revise my words and try to chose another word to be understood correctly.

I think the original request “… dictatorship mean” probably infers the origin and contextual meaning instead of just a simple dictionary definition as it is fair to assume that all of us are capable of using wiki and other dictionaries. Sometimes, the dfinitions make my eyes gloss over.

It is fair to assume that most of us have difficulty in finding the origins of words. Even with the OED, it sometimes is not that easy, so I have tons of respect for Marina for doing what she does, especially in a video format. There are also historical perspectives, disagreements and many other issues in finding word origins.

I have learned a ton from Marina’s videos. By the way my rice donations have improved. I even know what a quince is now due to one of Marina’s video.

So, I must agree with BoArgMir’s comment, let’s not spoil it for Marina by answering word requests, whether precisely stated or not. Marina has also mentioned it in comments many times before not to give away the answer as then she would not have a video to do.

Making jokes and teasing of words is kewl as it always makes me laugh. Love you both….

So are you going to tell us or are you going to keep your words a secret? :mrgreen:

Thanks for the repost James…I totally missed the original posting from melikadothechacha.

He says he is not gone, only is not going to post comments anymore. Well, if you are reading this mel, don’t let the jerks keep you from participating.

I agree that it gets crude and is annoying to see those vulgar words being used and you have a good suggestion about wishing to be able to choose to censor the posts you read. Websites are unfortunately not that sophisticated yet. :sad: Maybe one day.

I hope you come back to comment.

As for the co comment thing….she is a paid advertiser for them, but it helps her out, too, I’m sure because this way, she can get more traffic to this website and youtube. It is helpful for her plan to get more exposure. I don’t see anything wrong with that. And I’m sure if you asked her for lessons on how to utilize it (if that is what you meant) she would be happy to show you how.

I’m bored, I’m leavin’

Hi Marina,

My word is quadrophinia, i heard it from an old rave tune and maybe an old movie, but have no idea of it’s meaning!! Please can you help?xx

I could put it in a video or something.. Its hard to explain so to simplify it down would make it shorter. I don’t really want to do this too much because it is marinas job… but word is a word people ask for alot… even I asked for it…… ok decided what I will do here. I will just copy and paste it here.. Anyone asking for the origin of the word word again, should be replied to with this.

SHUT UP!! (no don’t paste that I’m just messing about)

English word is directly from Old English word, and has cognates in all branches of Germanic (Old High German wort, Old Norse orð, Gothic waurd), deriving from Proto-Germanic *wurÄ‘a, continuing a virtual PIE *wrÌ¥dhom. Cognates outside Germanic include Baltic (Old Prussian wÄ«rds “word”, and with different ablaut Lithuanian var̃das “name”, Latvian vàrds “word, name”) and Latin verbum. The PIE stem *werdh- is also found in Greek ερθει (φθεγγεται “speaks, utters” Hes. ). The PIE root is *Å­er-, Å­rÄ“- “say, speak” (also found in Greek ειρω, ρητωρ).

The original meaning of word is “utterance, speech, verbal expression”. Until Early Modern English, it could more specifically refer to a name or title.

The technical meaning of “an element of speech” first arises in discussion of grammar (particularly Latin grammar), as in the prologue to Wyclif’s Bible (ca. 1400):

“This word autem, either vero, mai stonde for forsothe, either for but.”

meow
James

Yes.

I hope that doesn’t make any difference one way or the other.

If it impresses you, and you saw the string of comments ( complete with flamethrowing ) on the exact definition of “calumny” you’d be less impressed.

But it is an interesting group of individuals.

Where did the phrase “Nip it in the Bud” come from?

Saw an audi r8 today.. first time I have seen one, first thing I thought of was marina getting into an r8

No way! this isn’t happening! I thought I had his email address but I can’t find it. He can’t leave. UUUUgggghhhh!

ALL ABOARD!

I think the word “aftermath” came LONG before Led Zeppelin.

Hey Marina, is there a way to watch your video on here on high quality like on the youtube page? I love high quality education. :lol:

where did the saying “cold blooded killer”

where did the saying “cold blooded killer” come from and i like little dogs but not feisty ones :smile:

cool shirt

Oh yeah, I’d prefer small dogs like Kobe because if they were big dogs, it would probably own me. :sad: Plus, I’ve had some bad experiences with bigger dogs :cry:

What do you mean as in “gone”? :shock:

Yeah, and isn’t that the same shirt from the 5th element video if I remember correctly?

the gimp is good, but Photoshop is so much more powerfull and has way more capabilities. But for the avarage user gimp is enough tough. I like ps more :razz: I don’t change photo’s or something i make images like space scenes and other stuff. I made websites for money till last year, I’m not doeing that anymore tough , I had 8 layouts that i needed to sell but i lost them all because my HD crashed -.-

May I request the word “Pimp” because it sounds funny :razz: and I thought the word was just a slang word, but it’s a real word! I also noticed its been getting popular ever since that 50 cent song. Haha. Thanks. :mrgreen:

I understand his feeling also. I too get bored. I have always said you only get out of this blog what you put into the blog. One must create challenges and goals. We can not expect Marina to do all the work of 500 teachers that is needed to keep things interesting. Have you ever read a major newspaper that was written by only one person?

That was a good one really funny :lol: :lol:

Tnks! :grin:

I think Marina should do a top “10″ most common word list to make it easier for AJ’s to look up and not to keep requesting. :cool:

Hi protac6, I hope you don’t mind if I answer. Maybe Marina can add other details also.

You can watch many (not all) YT videos in High Quality by appending this code &fmt=18 to the end of the URL of the video you are watching. So, if the Std video fails to play properly and there is no HQ link, you can add the &fmt=18.

For an embedded video like the one above, Marina would need to add the following codes in two places; &ap=%2526fmt%3D18
I tested it and it works on my local embedded page. The HQ video file size is doubled from the Std video file size.

Marina may have reasons do this or not do this. However, when and if there is another video playing issue with a video due to YT server cache problems, Marina can add this code which will pull the video from another server.

Here are some blogs explaining the embedded HQ codes.

I am new to HFW and thus have little standing to comment, however, I do concur with the view expressed my Captain Jack. If we take care to share the fun and interesting aspects of words and their meaning with a little humor and a sense of collegiality then the site will remain a joy. Let’s ignore the vulgar and sometimes incomprehensible postings of the few and celebrate the great contributions of the majority of HFW fans.

I don’t know if James mentioned it but he was on the http://www.hotforwords.com/2008/04/01/slang-words/ page.

Thanks breh.

Hi Marina

I like big dogs and small dogs, in fact, I just like dogs

x for teacher x

I am very happy to be here because I saw these answers and I must, must to reply to them. A few points of protocol, culture and politesse from a man:

1) wetsuit5, please never tell a woman, and especially never a beautiful one, that you don’t like what she wears. Never even if you are her parent or even married with her. Even in the last case, pay attention. Personally, I believe that Marina’s tattoo shirt is hyper-cool. She is a woman who visibly pays a lot of attention to what she wears: do you want truly to offense her?

2) yrphilofrend, you have suppose that Marina have no tattoos, and then you give your negative opinion of tattoos. This is also bad upbringing. You assume she has no tattoos because you have not see them. Perhaps, she have one you cannot see; you don’t know it. So don’t insult tattoos, she could have several of them. For example, it’s like you say to a man, I don’t like gays before you know if he is gay or not.

Finally, tattoos are very fashionable since a long time, so I am not agree that tattoos are cheap. Have you gone to the beach recently? Everybody have them; included some of the most well dressed people in the world. So, your opinion of tattoos is at the same time provincial, out of date, puritan. Marina is a hip woman visibly not any of these last things.

I repeat to philsa what I say below:

INCREDIBLE!

Hi teacher.
In response to your question, I personally prefer bigger dogs. I have a basset hound myself, and though she isn’t very tall, she is quite robust and can shoulder-tackle most taller dogs with ease. :)

Now, I would like to request that you research the word “appalling” for me, since it is one of my favorite words, and I have often wondered where it originated, and whether it has anything to do with the word “pallid”?

Thank you, and keep up the great work.
Student out.

I have thought about joining but wasn’t really sold on a good reason to join. My sister also thought about joining. I didn’t want to go through all the trouble (testing, dues, fees, etc.) just to find out I have very little in common and its full of Geeks that know nothing about the outside world from the lab. The website is horrible.

slang words are real words …

Hi pedantickarl, I did find a location on my fire fox browser that was set for the western setting. I set it to the one you said. So far no problems.

I thought again about this question: it is worse still. Marina do her best to look beautiful for you. Then you belittle it, and, more still, you believe you make her compliments. Wow! :roll:

I try to make you laugh at least once a day. :smile: :smile: :lol:

yeah.

Hey Hey!
awesome videos!
you are a really good teacher even though you’re not American

I want to request the word Tequila!
I’m from Mexico and I really want to know

thank you! (: …

By the way, I saw that video about your appearance on that show

take care and I hope to see that video about Tequila :P

Piimco

The Feisty video is up to number 30 utube only 6 more to go. :grin:

Hi capman, I got your message below. Glad it is working OK….

Tactlessness :roll:

Are good teachers always American?

She is American :smile: Russian American :wink: :cool:

Well let me correct myself… I thought the word was just slang by youngsters, but its used everyday by everyone for quite a while…

Happy sir?

Do views count if we watch the video on this website?

Despite that, she could not be elected as president–one must be American by birth.

No only if you vote on both sites :smile:

yes

I guess I got to go watch them on youtube then. Although it is pretty slow, for me that is. :sad:

Russia gave her to us as a gift; we were gracious enough not to tell ‘em they’d made a huge mistake giving up a national treasure… :cool:

you ment views right…? not ratings like capman is saying…

Yessir views.

well….then it doesn’t matter if you watch it here or on youtube. they both count.

Who said she was running for president. :???:

word to ur mum!… :cool:

Oh ok

i thought the same thing the first couple of times i saw ‘em (yes, guys, i got away from the gorgeous face & checked out her…arms)… :cool:

Sorry for the miss info. :oops:

Its all good were all neighbors around here in Marinaville. :grin:

“i” before “e” except after “c” unless you are weighing your weird ancient foreign neighbor on a glacier he seized because he fancied because of its height and said he’d forfeit it in his leisure after he had his protein & caffeine, but didn’t have either (or is that neither?)… :cool:

I’ve often wondered about the word “disgruntled”. It’s funny. It’s a bad thing to be, but you never hear about anyone being “gruntled”. So why is DISgruntled bad? Where did it come from?

ask James… :cool:

I like that Marinaville :cool:

but did you like it?… :shock:

How do you move up to 24th and yet the count doesn’t go up. :???:
Must be a new math. :cool:

hmmm…sesqiped is “foot & a half”… :cool: :neutral:

*whispers* hey, geronimo – she has other videos… :cool:

oops…forgot the neighbor was a mite feisty, too… :cry: :twisted: :cool:

Think she has enough room in her apartment for all of us :?: :lol:

i have an understanding of where it came from but before i go posting it about as a comment to your cracker theories, where did honky come from?

To be honest, I would have no problem squeezing in with Marina. Haha :razz:

Where did the term Lingerie come from and who came up with it?

“kinky” as in: she’s a very kinky girl

Marina, in the antebellum period in American history I believe that women who had “the vapors” had the same affliction.
The story about the lap dogs reminds me of an old joke -
A woman was invited to dinner and as she ate the family dog, “Rover” sat under her, hoping for some scraps from the table. The food didn’t agree with the woman and she passed gas. Each time she farted everyone at he table looked at her and she looked at the dog and disapprovingly said “Rover!”. Finally after a particularly long and violent attack of flatulence the owner of the dog looked at poor old Rover and said “Rover! Damnit! Get out from under her chair before she shits on you!”

Shindig shindig shindig shindig shindig shindig shindig BOB BARKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where did the term shindig come from? I’m thinking it has something to do with a week end pool. Thats where you dig a hole all week then put a tarp in it and fill it with water so you have a pool to swim in and it costs you next to nothing. But thats just my theory, tho its not based on anything in particular.

And just out of curiosity when you dream do you speak one language in them or is it just a big mess of them with people talking to one another in different languages?

Marina,
I’m sure since you have started posting videos you’ve had one of these- a stalker. I would love to know its origin. Did it come from people hiding ot the fields of corn stalks?

I have a phrase request: how did “take the cake” come to mean “unbelievable” or “really impressive”?

Could you please tell me what is the meaning of the word DILLIGAF & where did it come from

i like bigger dogs like Labs and German sheppards…

:razz: ……..Mounatin dogs…..perenese….burnese….st..burnards

one day when i am out of my flat …into a bigger place i will get one….. :smile:

Hi Marina,

MARINA – I’d like to request a word often associated with “FEISTY.” The word is “FRISKY.” Where the heck does FRISKY come from?????? You MUST investigate.

Thanks :smile: I thought I’d change it up to coincide with the clown lesson, but it seems to take so long to kick in. I switched it to a bee for the birds and the bees lesson bu it still hasen’t changed as of the time I’m writing this reply! :???:

Hi pennsyltucky9,
Thank you kindly for your reply on the Birds&Bees page and I agree with your comment. I’m replying here so I don’t ruin your chance of being the lastest. :smile:

I just sent you an email …

Remember the dog in the movie “10″…?

your the best:)

Big dogs small dogs I like them all.

Is Gucci camera shy?

Actually I like small dogs. I use to have one a little while ago here named “Moose”. And come to think of it I’d like to know the origin of the word “moose” in reference to the animal.
