Sniglets

Ta Dah

dam it! 2nd

How do you make a link to a comment on another page?

I so didn’t notice this was here. haha

5th

God, I looked like this during the whole intro –> :shock:

Are sniglets a sort of synonym for slang?

I was looking at the latest lesson thinking it was still the Feisty video. :neutral:

Do you mean hyperlink or a link where it shows a spot on the page of a specific comment?

Detrunkis is when you loose you bathing suit bottom by hankus prankus, or a tide takes it off. You can jump upest to fast and loose it. :???:

I would like simply to make a link to a reply I wrote on another page.

Detrunkus is evident: you loose your trunks, no?

So lets see….

You were looking at other people’s tables at a restaurant when you looked at your friend and started laughing because she had so much cleavage showing. Then she told you that she found out she had someone with an identical name as her on Google, then also you found out you had one as well. So you were upset then left with your friend to take a lot of napkins at a restaurant because your friend needed them for all the slimy residue left by a dog in her car windows. You also have the same problem with Kobe.

Is this right? I could be totally off. :shock:

i was like that too ( :shock: )

Like this

That kind of happened to me as I explained in the Skinny Dipping video. haha

love to see that :twisted:

You were in a restaurant in which you went from table to table to greet people you knew. Your friends breasts started so slip out of her dress while she said that there is another person with a similar name on the internet. You were unhappy (why?) and as you left the restaurant you took some napkins to clean the stains of the dog’s nose from the glass of the car.

Thank you. However, this link goes to the page, not to a certain comment.

So confussed…I think I failed this lesson! :shock:

Sorry try this, my mouse is messing up

I love the fact that this site includes advertisements for Russian singles…they’ve sure got us Marinaphiles figured out!

Protac6
You took the words right out of my keyboard!!! :cool:
Thanks for not making me type all that now that I looked it up :???:

Oh yeah, then your friend asked what FMTYEWTK (Far More Than You Ever Wanted To Know) stood for, you said your not good with Instant Messaging language. Then you said she needed to get her excessively used Blackberry. Your friend agreed you were saying was logical (Colbert word) and she needed to be in contact with her friend over the internet.

Haha. I got you man. :grin:

Marina, that is one of the best in all categories…. you had me on the floor again; Googleganger = Doppelgänger

What happened to the detruncus pictures? Did they get Kobeized or did they got truncanated?

I am glad someone knew what that meant :smile:

Its funny you brought up the word “truthiness” because I was just watching the Colbert Report a while ago and was about to ask you about it. :shock: :shock:

Your talking about Marina right? :shock:

oh…major loveness…and imaginethatness…

detruncus is ‘xactly what is says…you lost your trunks in the surf…

and the hottiedar of every male in the vicinity set off alarms resulting in eyebugoutity and cardiogoboomics…

while their sigothers gave them slobbruises for droolin’ over your perfectassness…

but i have no sigother, so i can savor your drooliciousness…

but i admire your brainium… :cool:

it was brilick…..????

Sniglets! I haven’t heard word in ages. :shock: Rich Hall! I haven’t heard that name in ages! :shock: Not since watching his “Sniglets” segment on HBO when I was a kid…I have to go look that up. :smile:

of course XD :lol:

i’m a dude :evil:

The reply that to which I would like to make a link has not the same informations as the example you give. I do not understand why.

I think I inseret all, except Keypal (you have to search for them by your own, sry. This will make your homework easier :razz:

You look great agin :wink: (forgot it at the first comment :oops: )

now im more selfused! :smile:

droolin’ over your perfectassness

This is a charming, witty complement I suppose….

K, for a minute there I thought you were talking about me. haha

hey pulsionsinconscientes

gottcha :mrgreen:

If you are running Fire Fox then this will work. I couldn’t get it to work with IE7

http://www.hotforwords.com/2008/07/09/happy-as-a-clam/#comment-36215

not particularly…but a truity…however, sardonicism is your bailiwick, i’m guessing… :idea:

(thank goodness i promised Marina i’d behave)… :cool:

Does it mean the longer we hang out here we become Marinated? Since we can’t call ourselves pen-pals, it must be that we are key-pals. When we go see a movie, I promise I won’t practice Elbonics. OK, I guess I’m going on Mouse Arrest. :lol:

:?:

Here’s a latin sniglet…rectofossal…as in “sniglets produce rectofossal ambiguity.” (“fossa” is latin for “a hole in the ground)

And knowing how to speak to women yours…

She could have been wearing a thong annuderfemaleless :lol: :lol:

That’s awesome – table snorkeling….so you were sputtering and taking in air because you ate something hot, and your friend was laughing because her boobs were bursting out of her clothes and she had someone putting crap all over her internet site? And then your friend took extra napkins to wipe the dog snot off of her windows?

Awesome!

wow…that hurt…you certainly know me well-enough to make that statement…

lighten up and enjoy the site…ask around before you slam someone…and don’t appoint yourself the morality-police…

it’s a skit, sir…not to be taken seriously…

hope you have a pleasant evening… :cool:

My proposed sniglet is “prospero,” meaning “a person of unmatched and rapier-like wit, genius-level intelligence, devastating good looks, and unrivaled modesty and humility.”

:smile:

in which case, her cheekyfection (in deference to mr. pulsionsinconscientes) still would have been obvious… :cool:

I am proud of you Annudermale for holding back. Or we could have another pick square to answer to. :shock:
I mean you no disrespect pulsionsinconscientes, but I think that is the best he can speak English. :smile:
Probably doesn’t mean anything by it. :cool:

Morality and taste are quite different.

all wrapped in one…

himself… :mrgreen:

Man you reached way down low for that one Prospero :lol: :lol: I don’t know about the good looks but the wittiness and intelligence I will give you credit for. :wink: :cool:

jajaja i now what i mean XD

i’ll screw it up if i say it out loud

If you will follow this link it will take you to the site where it was explained to me on how to link comments to another site. :smile:

XD :lol: :lol: :lol:

no way

yes, and tastes vary…

i quavered over that particular line at first, but, frankly, the word is just a word…and the action described is dang common on a beach, i believe…

sorry if it’s to your distaste, but it’s all tongue-in-cheek…

oh, and Marina, if for some reason you did find that line offensive, feel free to edit it to cheekyfection…but given the language from LisaNova’s party, i somehow doubt you have large problem with it…

‘course, some will still find it not to their liking… :cool:

you mean les pulsions inconscientes?

Slight correction: Marina was laughing at her friends super cleavage. :mrgreen:

Detruncus – yeah – don’t think you need to describe it further.

One would hope that any gentlemen present looked the other way. Probably their faces looked more like this :shock: or this :oops:

Dear Marina, Here are my answers to your homework:
(1) Table snorkeling = going around to the tables at a restaurant to say “hello” to people you know.
(2) Quadriboobage = the appearance of having four breasts due to overflow from wearing a bra that’s too small.
(3) Googleganger = someone who uses the same screen as you. That would be horrible–I want the one and only Marina-Hot-For-Words, and NO substitutes!
(4) Kidnapkinage = taking more paper napkins than you need to use clesn other items.
(5) Pupkus = the residue your dog leaves on the car windows from the dog’s nose.
(6) FMTYEWTK = Far More Than You Ever Wanted To Know.
(7) Detruncus = losing you swimming trunks in the water or surf. (I don’t believe this ever happened to you with those beautiful slender hips and thighs.)
Thank you for working with your beautiful hair at the end of this video. I was so sad about your messy hair in the “Feisty” video.
seesix cm6

one of my sniglets would be ‘unfinite’ , meaning negative infinity :shock:

now that i ‘understand’ the idea of sniglets, can I ‘overstand’ them? :lol

seesixcm6 you must have a black hole as a gravatar. :lol:

yes, and tastes vary

very obviously.

Well, I looked up Rich Hall and hes just not that funny anymore :sad: Bu this guy was… :arrow: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=octMaIKiSUA

Here is my abortional attempt at the use of sniglets.
I am absotivelyposilutely hotforwords can induce conspadamo on most! These sniglets must cornfuzzle a lot of people!
Well, im going fooding. I think ill partake in some wondracide and cook some porkalicious items!

Hey T. (nudder)
I loved your cheezky humor. Don’t change a thing. Your doing great. :smile:

See, here’s the plan: On my next trip to Southern California, scheduled in January, 2010 (a year and a half from now), I plan to ask Marina out for a nice meal at her favorite place, the Blu Jam Cafe. If her answer causes me to “crash and burn”, there’s this handy black box so that FAA investigators can hear those agonizing moments when she breaks my heart. :-)
seesix CM6

Does anybody know what happened to Tig and HFWfanclub? Did they dance themselves into oblivion? …I miss ‘em! :sad:

that is the best he can speak English

Pretty funny. What is the antecedent of ” that ” exactly? If you prefer, we can change to French.

A sniglet i find funny would be Zipcuffed – which means to be trapped in one’s trousers by a faulty zipper. Happed to me a couple of times :(

hey, Mike…finding the comment number using Internet Explorer… :cool:

One of the funniest sniglets I ever heard was “Redonkulous”….
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UZ5CaqKS3o

…but a “sniglet” is also just another name for a funny neologism.

Go for it

I’m with ya too, A-nud :smile: A-nud! …I like it! :grin:

Hows the famous IMglish “pwned” for a sniglet? haha.

What about the unrivaled modesty and humility?

What about the unrivaled modesty and humility??

Nope – read the blurb above… only her friend was laughing… :smile:

now tell me, exactly what part of the word emboldened you to comment?…i’m curious…was it ass?…should i have used arse?..perhaps, butt…what would you have suggested?…

to me, it’s just a word…to you, apparently, an offensive term…sorry to have offended your sensibilities… :cool:

I guess its more of how you interpret it. =\

Or maybe stategery. I’m not sure if I spelled it rigt or what exactly it means, but I hear George Bush use it.

Word Request: Quomodocunquize as the word starting in Q are lacking.

nice. :grin:

:mrgreen:

hm. what about the lesbian-and-bi-women-dating-site advertisements? and the “funny lesbian t-shirts” (“the t-shirts are funny, not the lesbians. sometimes they can be, though. like ellen.”)?

no, i agree with protac6 – when Marina says, “…I looked up at my friend and started laughing so hard as she had some serious quadriboobage…” the subject matched to “started” is “I”… :cool:

There are five words that add up to a derogatory, humorless, and sexist insult.

thank you, but pulsionsinconscientes has a perfect right to object…i don’t happen to share his concerns, but he should feel free to voice them, just as i will voice mine… :cool:

Let me add: directed to the person who is the owner of this website, What gall.

Hi nw2394, I’m a gentleperson and was president and I only looked with one eye, my bad one. :wink:

Also can I make a word request for the word Aegis. Its my fav :P

Let me revise: a derogatory, humorless, sexist and brutal insult.

and, again, your pedantic patronization doesn’t impress…i’ve apologized for offending your sensibilities, but your self-righteous attitude attests to your lack of humor…unconscious impulse, indeed… :lol: :lol: :lol:

i won’t insult Marina by continuing to respond a troll… :cool:

p.s. – it’s spelled, compliment… :cool:

i won’t insult Marina

You already did, royally.

i disagree, and it’s not for you to say, now is it?… :neutral:

feel free to write me elsewhere if you wish, but this conversation ends now…

Hello pulsionsinconscientes,
I hope you don’t mind if I interject and I appreciate reading some of your comments.

Some of us have been here a long time interacting with Marina. We’re practically family. We tease and have fun with her as she is one of the hippest, smartest, elegant and personable people we have ever met.

We have loving exchanges on this site and we care for each other. She understands our humor and we who have been here a long time will defend her against any malicious people and insults.

With love and kindness….

I was out getting lunch. Darn.. Oh well congrats Drysuit5. Hey when are you going to get one of those gravatars? You been here long enough to do what we did and make yourself your own personalized gravatar. :grin:

Cya tomorrow, I go for the Burbulation, watch a movie and then zzz.

Boy and I thought I know the lingo, I sure was wrong. :oops:

pretty much any politician is adept at poltitwalk: the ability of a politician to talk out of both sides of his mouth at once and still never say anything substantive… :cool:

I love it when she speaks Russian!

Marina, when did I get this stupid avatar thingie? I miss my old anonymous one! I don’t like this new one!

I reread it, and stand corrected.

ah, there “we” go again. speak for yourself, don’t include me. i’m not a member of your knights club, i’m pretty fucking sure she can “defend” herself all by her own. no white horse for me, thanks.

(this comment is not directed to you, pulsionsinconscientes.)

Hi sniperskaya,
Marina added a new feature a few days ago that gives new people a random monster gravatar instead of the default silhouette. You can add your own personable gravatar. Instructions are under the HELP/FAQ link up above.

tell me, exactly what part of the word emboldened you to comment?

, you asked. I gave you my reply because you asked for it. Then you say:

it’s not for you to say

when you had just said

pulsionsinconscientes has a perfect right to object

. What do you believe mr accurately named annuddermale?

Finally, the ad hominem attack is by definition the rear guard action in a lost battle.

i want you to tell everyone where the word truthiness came from

Friendly Greetings pulsionsinconscientes,

Pedantickarl has my exact thoughts also, so I don’t need to repeat what he said. We do deeply care for each other and Marina. We like to have fun here with new words that we learn. I guess its just how some of us play here. I hope you have an open mind and can understand us. You more than welcome to type derogatory, humors, and sexist insults at me as long as you smile when you type them. :mrgreen: But please use your best grammar and spelling practice as possible, for they will be graded. :smile:

My best regards…

i’ve said elsewhere that pulsionsinconscientes is entitled to his opinion…i’m entitled to mine…the twain may not meet, but that’s diversity for ya…

tilt at windmills…it’s good practice… :cool:

Thank you Mr. aLx, I felt was alone against the pack of jackals.

Oh Boy Pros, I thought you were a god of some sort but now you have made me erase all doubt. :razz:

and? why did this comment appear as a response to one of my comments? everyone is entitled to their opinion, yeah, and?

Thanks seesixcm6. Now I didn’t have to google those words.

I so love cheating off of everyone else’s homework. :twisted:

Love the black box idea. Maybe I should get one of those. You know they now require black boxes on ships? My former boss had to get one. They cost $100,000 for the cheap version. He did get an exempt letter from the USCG. It would have put him out of business for sure.

marina funny one i like it a lot :grin: :grin: :grin:

“Lighten up Frances” :razz:

Hi Trgoblin. Its been a long time… :mrgreen:

I was wondering that my self. Didn’t HFWFC post a few days ago?

So Captain you say

We like to have fun here with new words that we learn. I guess its just how some of us play here

Let me ask you, have you learned these words here?

droolin’ over your perfectassness

I don’t believe so. Why would you defend them if you care so much for Marina? Perhaps, you too believe they are hilarious?

I miss chacha and RRR too….yes, already. :sad:

if you’ve taken something as an ad hominem, perhaps you’ve been re-reading your own replies…sorry – i have yet to see any substantive response from you…only “i object” in various permutations…

and i’ll leave it at that…

When you make your new gravatar, wait about an hour before swimming and clear your cache so your browser will refresh with your new photo. It sometimes takes a few minutes to a few hours. :cool:

Maybe he did but I don’t remember seeing it…I’ve been lookin’

and be sure that you saw it…

maybe i lost it in the translation, but I agree, Marina can make up her own mind as to what the character of my reply was, and what my intent was…

jackal no4

A 100,000!!!??? :shock: :shock: Why so much?

ah, i see.
that comment was not directed to you, anuddermale.

Wow this sniglets lesson just went over my head. Well some of the new ones did. You know you should make a game once a week using sniglets.

I used to watch that skit “No necessarily the news”. Funny show.

Hey Marina, I like the photo for your Sniglets video. Your head is tilled just a bit and you have a nice smile. Is so precious. :smile:

you refer to us as “jackals” :?: :?: :?: :!: :!:

the ad hominem attack is by definition the rear guard action in a lost battle.

no one is ganging up on you, pulsionsinconscientes…some may disagree with you, but that’s their right, too, isn’t it?…

ah, well, i see i am tilting at a windmill…

Since you don’t know an insult from a compliment, I am not surprised by your inability to identify an ad hominem argument.

Well I do know what a quadraboob is, so I’m not totally out of the loop.

I’d like to know how to pronounce it!

well, at least you learned to spell it right…

yes, reading the initial reply i made that started without knowing anything more about me or the intricacies of this site, an unknowing reader such as yourself, who apparently has never been to a beach and laughed at men falling all over themselves when a pretty woman walks by, and doesn’t find humor in such antics, would likely believe i was a sexist, chauvinistic, vile human being with absolutely no affinity for the women, and certainly no reverence for them…

and that reader would be wrong…but entitled to their opinion…

enjoy…

Oh man, you’re to much! :lol: :lol: :lol:

maybe they’re on vacation?

oops, knowing the correctionary nature of this thread, i hasten to add the edit: ” made that started this thread“…

Your ad hominem attack since you can’t identify it:

unconscious impulse, indeed…p.s. – it’s spelled, compliment…

Are you as clever in French, annuddermale ?

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 diff

ah…something with substance…

translating your username is an ad hominem?…i simply meant that i didn’t believe your replies were made unconsciously…

and, no, i am not versed in French….you win that one, too…

the intricacies of this site

which presumably is that one must be accept that a shared boorishness is in fact funny, generous, kind, and sexy. Never.

hahaha…okay, you win – you’re better than i’ll ever be…

No, the three laughing faces which did not transfer in the quotation. added to indeed. Don’t be dishonest.

I wonder how a night out in the town feels like with Marina. :razz:

Look out your window, it’s a full moon
Can’t ya feel it? Howl!!

now that’s an ad hominem, for sure (am i right?)…

i wasn’t being dishonest, sir – yes, there absolutely were three laughing faces there – indicating exactly what i said – that found it a bit ironic that your username meant “unconscious impulses” when your responses, well-formed & articulate, indicated anything but that…

Wow! …good call! :smile:

Two very big reasons. First off, to get a black box built and installed takes some time. It has to be wired up to all ships bridge equipment, i.e. Radars, GPS, depth sounder, Video and audio cameras, radios, propulsion systems, etc. Second reason is DHLS is all about protecting our borders. The big corporations are just loving this. Corporations need the threat of terrorists / war to sell their toys. :evil: :evil:

i’d make a remark, but it would be cheeky of me… :cool:

Popularized by Stephen Colbert. :mrgreen:

She put Russian in my Top 5 favorite languages. :cool:

Ha. Lingo, I haven’t heard that word in a while.

Marina, what is the origin of the phrase “Going Commando”? :lol:

For every other video I’m like :razz: or :oops:

Probably, she doesn’t care at all. People things that are more violent on YouTube. What I find fascinating is the belief that an insult is a complement–the lack of consciousness is a perfect example of sexism, just as racism.

Sexy picture during the video :wink: ! I could look at stare it all day if necessary

Great video! I had a word request and since I did it so late on the last video I decided to comment here as well.

What is the origin of the word Dipstick? And why does it stand for someone who is foolish in the slang definition?

I was wondering how the vulger words used today are vulger when they use to be used in society everyday without offending anyone.
like s**t was (I think) used on ships to discribe cargo
and f*** (I heard when I was in college) originally ment to plant or to plow.

Let me say it better: rather than sexism, aggression.

ok, here’s where i think we differ…you believe my initial was somehow meant to compliment Marina…whereas i know my initial post was merely an attempt to fulfill Marina’s homework request to come up with some sniglets…

yep, i poked fun at a common beach situation – parody is lost on you, i guess…

i’ve written Marina a personal note about the situation; whether she responds or not matters not a whit…

i think i’ll go down to the local strip joint, down some beers, slip a few buck in the garters, and slap a few arses…oh, and mutter crude terms of endearment…

gawd… :shock: :?:

hello captain jack have you ever done any ship work on the great lakes michigan huron superior someone was telling me that the storms in the great lakes are worst then in the ocean is that true he said that when they send the ships out two at a time because of the knowledge of both captains :?: :?:

Thats interesting. :shock:

Be cheeky…please! :smile:

Parody is an extreme difficult genre to master because it requires that the result actually be witty and intelligent. So when it’s neither

droolin’ over your perfectassness

, it’s grotesque.

Oh, I see so you thought that by adding the substantive suffix -ness to the origianl and brilliantly executed conjunction of “perfect” with “ass”, you had made a sniglet. I get it. So the fact you chose these particular words was merely an accident and any others would have been good enough to complete the exercise. So, why did you choose these ones rather than any others? Strange accident–and so funny!

That’s right ! In modern French we use LE BAISER for THE KISS and this word is 100% correct BUT…
If you use BAISER as a verb it means TO FUCK !

Incredible but true !

You’ll have to ask some of the women here about the lesbian and bi-dating sites, I’m not qualified to comment, and wouldn’t dare speculate.

How did you find the rest of the words…Are they sniglets too?

Actually, now that you mention Ellen, I may as well ask, does anyone know if many internet feminists voiced an opinion on Marina’s videos, and whether the majority were positive or negative? Just curious.

You say that Rich Hall “coined” the phrase ‘sniglet’.

How did that term come about?

(I mean the term ‘coined the phrase’, not sniglet…) :P

wow :shock:

i don’t know but i love to use it, i usually go comando :oops:

i’d like to know too marina :mrgreen:

like this: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :twisted:

I went and looked back at the last video and I never saw anyone saying anything about sniglets..

She must be a hippocrite to do that! :mrgreen:

Lets not get into flame wars here

1st ish.. again

Hwk:
.
Detrunkus is when the bottom half of da bikini falls off-us.
Table snorkeling is face down at your laptop (MacBook).
Qaudriboobage is breasts imprints pushin’ through or too outlined by
clothing (?).
Googleganger must be when you see a reflection of yourself in the screen, or, you know, background’s stronger than the screenage.
Kidnapkinage is taking an excess of napkins from an establishment to use elsewheres.
Pupkus is slime left from a puppy.

Some family members are always trying to make ‘new’ words as if it is really cool, will catch-on becoming popularized and make them famous I think a lot of it can be dribbage, or maximus dribbikus, BUT this is an important lesson on language and not just skankdom.

she doesn’t make the video’s right away, this vid could be a week old or something.

An ad hominem attack is calling me

a troll

. You are dishonest. I have not an will not abase myself to your level.

However, I will say this. You not only have any idea how offensive what you wrote is, but you have the temerity to think that it’s funny. Do you think you are the first person who discovered this unusual humor concept (drool over your ass)? Do you have any idea how boring that is? Clearly, not. Or how mediocre? How old are you, 10, perhaps 12 years old?

These comments remind me of this http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Snoop_Dogg

i duno….. you were blowing bubles in to your drink or something, then you started laughing because you’re friend had suddenly enlarged breasts…And then she tells you she found someone on the internet with the same name as her. And then you found out there was someone with your name to. So you were upset, and left, but before you 2 left your friend stole a bunch of napkins because her dog decided to smear his nasal fluids on the windows. And then she asked wat does “far more than you ever wanted to know” means…
But you’re not good at “instant messaging” language. crackberry….iduno is that a cracked Blackberry….?
And she wanted to be in constant contact with her email friends .
pfffffffffffffff-.- :???: i’m gonna go back to bed now ….

The problem is over defending and hypersensitivity, Marina can be criticized & must be at times and this does not make it an attack—in what class, school are students just suppose to sit there & clap after every sentence or lesson, that’s not learning & critiquing make-up is not automatically critical thinking. Many rude You Tubers show-up and are shot down, good. But when a posse develops that minionizes everything & everybody else it doesn’t leave too much room for growth, and brilliant people visit also and guess what–they’re shot down. EVERYONE should check themselves! Missteps & mistakes along the way are just that—along the way. There’s no whistle-foul-penalty box here. annuddermale was obviously just trying to do the homework if it was clumsy as pulsionsinconscientes suggests, oh well. But you can’t blame puls. for trying to balance what so many others feel is their job as well. EVERYONE should check themselves…

A Crackberry is Amy Winehouses favourite fruit. Along with Cannabis Opium, Mushrooms & Tobacco. It makes up her 5-a-day

Oh, yeah, Imglish is instant messaging short hand & crackberry is people addicted to their BlackBerry (texting & games etc.)

:arrow: 2 funny…are they blue?

Do you remember what happened the last time one of these huge
arguements happened??? 3 people have left because of things like this

pulsionsinconscientes

There is no point into trying to get into fights with us. We have been here a long time (not myself.. But sort of) and we are like a community you are new and will not win because we are simply too big.. and calling everyone jackylls will not do anything either.

I hope everyone remembered to bring their pillows and cushions with them today.

They have to be with white “sherbert” inside. I am quite happy with myself for making that one up :mrgreen: :idea:

This is the longest line of posts i have ever seen. Are these pillows on cousions to suffocate ourselfs with?

somebody asked where ‘coined the phrase’ the phrase came from.. that would be interesting to find out.. please?!

perhaps sherbert could be a request maybe?

The press conrol and f the type in what you are searching for :!: :!: :!:

Do you always talk like this?? Its not 18th century England anymore.

Dipstick is the stick that goes in a car for the oil level I guess it is frome that.

This isn’t a prison & so length of time doesn’t equate with ownership. Nor does it equate with control. No one is untouchable, no one is untouchable. What this site needs is new blood, not to erase the old but to comingle & the last thing it needs is conformists. If everyone would have as much sensitivity for others as they do for the perceived sensativities of Marina this site would be a tad bit more cheerful.

That’s a funny one James, I now have the sniggles! :smile:

Quadriboobage is “the appearance of having four breasts” caused by wearing a bra that is too tight.
My wife has a similar problem, but her third and fourth breasts are above and below her belly button, caused by eating too much rice. :sad:

I never order sherbert but always love it when it is forced upon me. God, I hope I’m talking about the ice fruit dessert and not subconsciously referring to drugs…

No-one would have looked the other way, they would all have been oglegangers. :grin:

Its been a while since I have done this. But today I have made Marinas video the most viewed ever, with over 8 billion views. Here is the screenshot I made http://img143.imageshack.us/img143/1290/hfwqe8.jpg

My favourite sniglet is “Prairie-dogging”; it happens in those huge open-plan offices where people work in cubicles formed by moveable, shoulder-height partitions. If some disturbance is caused, all the little heads pop up from the cubicles to see what is going on, like Prairie Dogs popping out of their burrows.

You used The gimp to do that?

Here’s also something cool :p type this code over the website url that you want to change

javascript:document.body.contentEditable =’true’; document.designMode=’on’; void 0

Now you can re wright the text and take a screenshot or something to fool your friends :grin:

i stand by my assessment…you have repeatedly engaged in baiting me, and i was foolish enough to respond. your smug superiority act is just that…

oh, and this vid’s for you…i’m sure you’ll see the humor in it:

Good one James, Go to the head of the class now

Saw your strippergram below and thought you might like this one. :lol:

I guess I’ll Pass on el SPAM

My imagination tells me that before fuel gauges you would check the fuel level with a stick.
Then one day someone did it with a lit cigarette and the car blew up. So now if you’re called a dipstick you are being called a moron.

Fout-moi la paix!

hello marina, i would have a word request, a word which i find inetersting: “wannabe”. it is very popular and it’s clear what it means, but where did it come from? i heard that the word was invented in the 1980s because of madonna. Back then, everybody would copy her style, so they were called ‘wannabes’. Is it true? if you’d have the time, i’d like it if you investigate the origin.
thanks! :grin:

What´s that ? Marina opened a Porn site here ?

Jaslinosexo we just write donwn some comments where we freakout for Marina, go and watch your gurlies alone :razz: blllllllllllllllll (teacher will slap me if I go there and watch it :oops: )
—-> :evil: Marina :evil: <—–

Sorry, woke up past 12, but “morning” anyway :wink:

bye bye :D…..there he goes :razz:

Wow! I got hit with comment spam there! Killed his account.. should be fine here! Sorry about that!

This comment removal bugged my coComment sidebar….but finaly I know why it is bugged Mari :grin:

:wink: Nice one :!: …………….caused just some small issues that can be fixed with a nice breakfast :razz: (in Germany) :mrgreen:

——–>don´t fall, stand tall :wink:

I missed it.. What did it say?

Hi Pairadots,

Do you know what this word means? I’ll give you the quick You Tube response to save you the effort of looking it up. Its meaning is to make money by any means possible. This activity may become more prevalent in the years to come as individuals and families in the world struggle with the costs to producing energy supply our needs.

I’ll leave the origin of the word up to Marina as she’s the expert.

Marina,

Throw us bone here, we need your assistance on the origin of Quomodocunquize.

BTW – You are one of my favorite teachers, but tied with my 3rd grade teacher from many years Mrs. Lipshutz

QUESTION FOR AMERICANS!

In England we often call cigarettes “fags” “I’m just going for a fag”

But in America, it means a gay.

What other words do americans for a cigarette. Or is cigarette the only word.

Do you subconsciously take drugs then? :razz:

I shall never tell a french person ” I kissed my mother goodbye” :lol:

coComment thing is gone for me too… I think they are having issues on their end.

They call them smokes as well.. can’t think of any other ones right now.

To bad, that was a fast breakfast :cry:

He included some links for some private chat with naked gurlies.

I cant see cocooment eithr

That made no sense at all

I can’t see co comment either is what I meant to say

Dear Teacher,

I just watched a favorite old movie, “Local Hero” (1983), set in a scenic village on Scotland’s northern coast. The film has a character named MARINA, a marine biologist and pseudo-mermaid. Another character is named STELLA, and the SEA & SKY combo play an important role in the story. There is also a character initially known as THE RUSSIAN.

For these reasons and more [such as the phone box - Is there a word for objects or places that only come in to existence after they appear in a movie; if not then I suggest cinapropos] I highly recommend this film. And in honor of its setting, do the Scottish words LAD(DIE) and LASS(IE) have etymological interest?

coffin nails is another slang term for cigarettes

England has lots of words for cigarettes. But none for cigars I don’t think. But I don’t smoke cigars.. And I never will, disgusting. Also, Have you sent any report cards out recently ? I have never had one before..

When will people learn. Jeez. If I wanted that I would just type it in on Google.

Ha, I love your video tags ” intelligence is teacher ” … yes.. yes it is

coffin nails :grin:

Correct annuddermale, you are indeed the “ass” that I am riding. How perceptive!

darn it -.- I wanted to say that :p but the post man just brought me cod4… :grin: yay

I find both cigars and cigarettes disgusting……. :mad:

Camel or Cowboy Killers, Cancer Sticks, a smoke… that’s all I’ve got.

Hello Marina, :smile:

I just stumbled across your website and watch the Vodka video, and thought that I would write and ask for you to explain two words for me.

“Birch” and “Wynd” together it is the name of vodka we are soon going to produce called “Birch Wynd”

It will be interesting to see what you come up with. Have a look at our site http://www.sapworld.ca. When we get it completed I would love to personal present you with a bottle.

You said that vodka is like water in Russia, well our vodka is like velvety water. SMOOOOTH :oops:

Thanks and have a most wonderful day.
Craig :grin:

I would imagine pupkus is referring to the bird deification on her window.. the kidnapkinage would be stealing napkins from the restaurant, table snorkeling is either looking under the table or drinking water through a straw.. Googleganger probably refers to the people of an age group to brows google and would know you over the internet watching you. I have NOT a CLUE as to what quadraboobage would be, and I imagine what I would guess is on the wrong path..

Anyway, very odd..

Word Request:

I was listening to the radio on my way home from work yesterday when the Mighty Mighty Bosstones started playing ‘The Impression That I Get ‘. I don’t know if you’ve ever heard the song before but it centers around the phrase “Knock on Wood”.

I was surprised to see that you haven’t done a video on it yet and so that is my request :)

Where does the phrase “Knock on Wood” come from?

This Birth Wynd bottle made me remember my first job I learned.
I learned plasterer, and to go through it with some “respect” I had to drink beer like a donkey, and to make sure that a wall is straight you drank some beer to ensure it, sometimes without beer you were not sure about that, but after one bottle that looked different…you could just say it is straight or not + – 1cm on a 2.5-3m wall…..for a 5 m wall you needed at least 2 bottles :mrgreen:
I guess the bottle also will turn sort of straight when it is half-empty :grin: (proportional plus integral controller)

Friends, timeouts, (cowboy killers)…mostly smokes

Pupkus (pup-kus) n. The moist residue left on a window after a dog presses its nose to it.
- alphadictionary.com

I find that a more appropriate name would be “PupKiss”, and judging by the “Fiesty” video, Marina has it all over her face. :smile:

Favorite women bloggers?
http://ma.tt/2008/07/favorite-women-bloggers/

couldd you tell us why the word “Wimp” or “Wimpy” mean’s weak or nerdy :lol:

So there are 2 more groupthink men who want to associate with udderman. Violà : the level of this membership. It’s no surprise Marina posts only one or two words per day. No one says anything that is the least bit interesting, or even pleasant. A bunch of loutish oafs who make only catcalls in unison: a symphony of dunces. It had to be said.

What´s that ?

it´s an inside joke, so please don´t change your bottles :mrgreen:

You are a blogger right?

Hello, Marina… acethebathound here…
I found a definintion for table snorkeling…
Here goes…
Table Snorkeling (tay’ bul snawrk’ ling) – n. Frantic gesticulations when one bites into hot food and has to take in air to cool it off.
At least that’s what one person on The Slang Thread thinks…

/dreamy I luve you, they have some funny Star Wars movie on the Home :mrgreen:

cigarettes are also called butts around Washington DC metro area. That would be parts of VA, MD and maybe DE. Example: ” Got and butts Joe?” or “I am going outside for a butt.” Can also be used to refer to a partially smoked cigarette. Don’t forget the diminutive; ciggybutts. Now that usage should sound weird in your part of town.

It just dawned on me that I know the sound ciggy + butts but never spelled it till now. :oops: Help! OK, this is from Safari’s speller via Thesaurus
cigarette
noun he’s outside, having a cigarette\
informal smoke, butt, ciggie/ciggy, cancer stick, coffin nail;
Brit. informal fag.

Humm Now THAT is food for thought!

Not exactly a sniglet; Benny Hill used to make reference to a better word than hemorrhiod to describe a medical problem – a word that is already in the English language but refers to something else.

Asteroid :lol:

what’s with the fucking “we”?

“we” as in “we are like a community” and “we are too big” is not just a vague, but also a pretty ignorant concept.

“we” as in “we against pulsionsinconscientes” suggests that it includes me. i don’t want other people to think that they can speak for me, so, next time, please exclude me from your “we”.

this, however, does not mean that i always disagree on everything the white horse riders and anti-f-bombers say.

on a side note, karl, i really don’t see what all this has to do with “defending marina” (which, in my opinion, is kinda childish anyway); pulsionsinconscientes did not insult marina. he didn’t even criticize her. so, “defending marina” is not an issue.

i do see pulsionsinconscientes’s point, as well as yours, anuddermale, and i do respect both of your opinions.
if she needs some fucking bodyguards (lol, what a weird thought), she’ll let you all know, i’m pretty sure about that.

…going for a burn….

My apologies to all for adding to the muckraking below. Pulsionsinconscientes had some valid points to make, and I’ll try to remember them in future postings. This is a fun site and deriding others is not appropriate. My apologies to Pulsionsinconscientes for not simply saying, “Yes, I see your point.” and letting it go at that.

Marina, you already have my note…mea culpa…

i don’t smoke, but i’ve heard cigs , ciggies, butts, fags (yes, even here), and stogies (more common for a cigar, i think) Roger Williams’ King of the Road (I have the vinyl you see in the opening scene – it’s an old monophonic album)…

This is from another site:

Slang terms for cigarettes

Cigarettes have accumulated a variety of nicknames such as smokes, butts, square (from the shape of the box), cigs, ciggies, stogs, stogies, snouts, tabs (especially in NE England), loosey (a single cigarette), bogeys, boges, darts, straights (for factory rolled ones), dugans (especially in NYC), hairy rags, hausersticks, jacks, grits and fags (the term fag is used more commonly in the United Kingdom; in the United States and Canada, it is primarily a derogatory term for a male homosexual). Cigarettes have also attracted somewhat fatalistic nicknames related to their effect on the smokers health, such as coffin nails, cancer sticks, gaspers or even black lungs in terms of the smoker. In Australia, cigarettes are sometimes called Doogans or Durries. A relatively new term emerged with the release of Star Wars: Attack of the Clones after a main character was offered a death stick in a nightclub. Cigarettes are also known in New Zealand as rollies for the self-rolled cigarettes and tailies for the factory rolled.

“grits” or “grechel” or “sigy” or “shmoda” or “death stick”–as in, “I’m goin’ out to choke(smoke) a grit(cigarette), come with(do you want to come with me)?” :smile:

On vinyl!? Sweet! …I like that song :smile: …first heard it in the movie Swingers …I most relate to “Mikey” :lol:

Would I even be considered a blogger? I actually don’t think so… I’m a video blogger of sorts I guess…

a vlogger, i’d think…Wikipedia describes a video blogger as a blogger using video (duh!), and

A blog (an abridgment of the term web log) is a website, usually maintained by an individual, with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video.

…so it is apt… :cool:

I’m curious as to where the word, “Babysitter” comes from…. someone sitting on babies?? hehe

Marina ! Here I was the First :grin:

Agent HotForWords,

Thank You for sending Boris Badinoff to my house for final KGB training and exams. :cool:
I earned my secret decoder ring. :wink:
Agent Boris clued me in on the first mission of KGB, “Kill Moose and Squirrel”. It was on the exam. :roll:
Boris and Natasha really please with my agent control. :smile:
I trained agent fish to roam the seas and execute detruncus on beautiful bottoms. :oops: Sorry, I’ll have to do remedial training to avoid Comrade bottoms. :wink:
But Boris said it was an old GRU trick. :shock:

Boris and Natasha had me do video research on quadriboobage for the last question. :grin:
But alas I failed on my mission. :cry:
This is a far as I got.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=z6daKcLtZ-I
I call it ohmygoshaboobage. :oops:
But all I could say at the time was ah bah ah oh wha. :shock:
Natasha forgave me, but Boris is still a little blinded :lol:

Natasha said I could still pass my exam if I just stopped detruncusing Comrade Agent and got her to say the KGB motto:

“Kill Moose and Squirrel” :twisted:

Please help. :razz: :razz:

don’t fall off your chair…but i agree, aLx…

except i am not “against” pulsionsinconscientes…i may have tried too hard to make him see my point, which was fruitless and in neither of our best interests…but i don’t see it as a battle, just a difference of opinion… :cool:

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

“A blog is a website, usually maintained by an individual, with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, OR other material such as graphics or VIDEO”"

well you post a video everyday so….i think you can consider yourself a blogger …right..?

When I was in the Royal Navy, cigarettes were known as DFs – short for Duty Frees, because at that time everyone could have a monthly ration of tobacco at Duty Free prices, along with their daily ration of Navy Rum.
Both rations have been stopped a long time ago.
Now that we, in the UK, have a blanket ban on smoking in workplaces and public enclosed spaces (including bus shelters), all smokers have to go outside to smoke. This has led to cigarettes being referred to by the euphemism, “fresh air”, as in, “I’m just going out for a breath of fresh air.”
Go figure!

Marina ! Of course you are a blogger ! You even take more risks because to show yourself everyday is much more difficult thant to show only your texts. If People after one year are not fed up with you, it means that you are doing well.
Anyway you are the only case I know on the web. The success be with You !

Do you mean Babyshitter ??? :mrgreen:

That’s to let ! You belong to Marina ! :twisted:

oops ! too late ! :mrgreen:

Excuse my Frentch Aksent ! :mrgreen:

deification or defecation ? :mrgreen:

and cancer stick…forgot those… :cool:

similar to dog-sitting & housesitting, i’d guess (and i think these latter two probably came after “babysitting”)…”sitting” just means “to watch”…

here’s some babies y’all can sit:

It makes sense. If we are

A bunch of loutish oafs who make only catcalls in unison: a symphony of dunces. It had to be said.

then you wouldnt want to be here would you..

Yes, Marina I will write about you (nice things of course. Not that you are a 300 year old vampire)

depilation :twisted:

pulsionsinconscientes

you are indeed the “ass” that I am riding

What you do in your own home is your own business :lol:

James, let his comment go….i know i should have ended it much sooner, but like someone said, there was a full moon last night…

no more slamming from this direction… :cool:

I am going away on Wednesday, I will be back Sunday.. So don’t worry if you don’t see me much, I have not left.. :razz:

Your note??? I hope thats not a resignation note you are on about

Tasty mushrooms. and why is your head green :?:

i was gone for a week once and no one noticed…enjoy your holiday…

when does school begin again?…my kids go back on August 4th… :cool:

hello!
I would like to know about the word “grass” and “sex” meaning.
thank you…and xoroshevo dn9

James, my note was to Marina and is not for public consumption…but, no, i do not contemplate leaving – perhaps cutting back, but not leaving… :cool:

The thing that winds me up though, is not the arguments. It’s the people that start them pushing people that got involved into saying “sorry, I should understand” they should be apologizing for winding everyone up and practically pissing the whole of HFW.com off :evil: :evil:

August the 4th. All the kids here go back about 5th of september but broke up yesterday.. School doesn’t begin for me.. I have finished my education (thank fu**) I am going to college though

So let’s make a little list of everyone who thinks udder man’s (why not just tits man, udder man?) sense of humor (“droolin’ over your perfectassness”) is screamingly funny, to be applauded and to be defended:

Congratulations guys, you’re all the teacher’s pets today!

I have never worked in the Great Lakes. Yes the Great Lakes can be very dangerous, but not anymore dangerous than the ocean.
See: <November 10, 1975 the bulk freighter Edmund Fitzgerald sank in Lake Superior with all hands.
Now days we have more sophisticated electronics for navigation and better weather reporting than we had in the 70′s. So the odd of sinking is reduced.
Im not aware about sending two ships out at a time. It doesn’t sound practical to do so. All ships are in radio contact with one another. We also have AIS (Automatic Identification System) in place so we can see the status of all vessels in the area. All ships have two officers on board. Captain and First Mate. On some ships have a Second and Third Mate on board to rotate the shifts.

I belive I have a nice one here——> Boomster (boobs + holster) n. The effect that´s caused when opening a bra. :shock:

pulsionsinconscientes, i give up…you simply have to be right, there’s no two ways about it…

yes, the initial post was crass, and, in your view & some others’ i’m sure, sexist, lewd, and insulting…

i owe nothing to you, but as i’ve already said, i concede your point…i withdraw from this bickering…

“annudder” is simply a misspelling of “another”…if i wanted to be a teat-man, it would have had to be “anudder”…

i will again apologize for any slight, intentional or unintentional, you believe i have made to you…some were retaliatory, some not – all were unnecessary…

good day to you… :cool:

Truly have to refine it.

SOrry Marina,

Hey JACKASS,
Go off and #uck your self OK…….. These Guys are trying not to make Problems for Marina . It upsets HER to no end.
Her people DO not want fighting on this SITE OK?

GO away if you can not be CIVIL …..!!
This is not the place for your crap!!!
#1 Jackal

pissing the whole of HFW.com off

i’ll say it again: speak for yourself.
who the hell are you to speak for “the whole of hfw”?

Dear all involved,

..Why not forget about it? Put the past behind you, brand new day tomorrow :) Its all good! No worries, move on…….

Now SSHHHHHHHH, class is in session, so enjoy, have fun :)

Be well, peace out! :cool:

I use the word “GAYDAR” all the time. I stole it from the tv show “The Office”.

perfect breast Marina

where did the word “holiday” came from?

pulsionsinconscientes, I have been reading your posts this morning and it appears your just here to cause a ruckus. :evil:
You asked to be unsubscribed and yet your still posting. So I ask you why are you still here?
I can see your main purpose here is just to start a flame war and insulting my good friends. :evil:
Nobody wants you here. So go away. Your not welcome here. Please stop posting your flames. I don’t want to see you back here again.

Marina is very busy with many projects. She will have your removed at her next opportunity.

—

you simply have to be right

That is incorrect. I don’t have to be right. I am right and you know it. With friends like you and your cohort, Marina has no need for enemies.

If you do “holiday”, if you could also mention the Navy usage which refers to a patch missed when painting ( we called it preserving ). Thank you.

Dear Teach,

Wow! This is a wonderful and timely lesson. I had never heard of sniglets before and now I see them everywhere. With all the talk of people leaving the site (please don’t!) and angry words (ouch!) your feminine touch and good humor is so welcome. “Sniglets” got me looking into other such words and I found a great one: absquatulate. It’s what I sincerely hope your loyal and dedicated subscribers do not do.

das vadanaya, Q

i think its holly day the orginal

of course…

and i’ll leave it at that…

hopefully you will, too; if not, that will speak volumes… :cool:

Amen to that Captin..

Hey isn’t the term “blogging” or the word “blog” a sniget its self?

I often say the word severously on accident. It is a combination of seriously and severly. That is my made up word. :grin:

Dear Marina,

Could you please do the word, “cunnilingus?”

Thank you!

Its getting even worse now that we can’t comment on what we have always commented on without being chided by someone new. They don’t think of the percussion their comments is going to reverberate too. They don’t understand the relationships between us and Marina. It’s different here than on utube. If the new people would just observe what goes on here first instead of criticizing right away then they might understand the jesters and word games we make are all in fun and games. I think I’ll just visit and watch the videos on utube and call it a day. No more commenting for me on either channel unless it is to say hi to you jackals. I care about you all as friends for those who want to be friends. But if we kept the comments as just answer the teachers assignments and not comment to each other or add small sniglets as she asks then this is going to be one boring site. Marina may as well take out the reply buttons. I guess it’s going to get just like in school, say a dirty word and be punished by someone for talking dirty. But forgive me for trying to take up for pulsionsinconscientes with my comment to annudermale about pulsionsinconscientes English because I thought he was having problems translating to English. A lot of new or even older members appolgize for there bad English and we tell them that is ok because we understand what they are trying to say. But they don’t take offense at it. I hope you are satisfied now pulsionsinconscientes for you have run off a member that cares a lot about this site and it’s people. I know I am easily discouraged over events like this. When an unhappy day comes then I just give in. Annudermale and Captain Jack I’ll see you all on you other channels.

In America some people call cigarettes fags. My Dad and Mom grew up with them being called that, and my brother and I both say “wanna fag up?” ( when I used to smoke)

oh, that’s smart-talk… :mrgreen:

there is also the more known ” over-shoulder-boulder-holder ”

:mrgreen:

No need to be sorry RRR.

yes, again i apologize, Marina…

but RRR, while i appreciate your comments, let’s take annudder (‘er…another) route and just quit responding…

as someone had already cautioned me… :wink:

Bill,

Since your word request has been requested numerous times and has still not been addressed, I took the liberty to look it up.

After reading Wikipedia’s entry on this word, I see absolutely no way that Marina can make an educational video on this word without getting some serious backlash at YouTube.

So hopefully that word and the word Masturbation will stop getting requested so much. There is just no way she is going to do those, unless she does them on her radio show where she can speak more freely.

BoArgMir

Capman,

Don’t let the jerks censor you. Come on! They love this….getting the regulars riled up and out of here.

You jerks know who you are. I won’t name you so as to not cause more trouble, but can’t you all just get along with the regulars that were here watching Marina’s videos here on her website way before you brought you sorry little selves here??

Really…………Get a Life………..if you get your jollies upsetting other people, I wonder what you are like in the outside world. No, I don’t really care.

you’re fantabulous Marina! :mrgreen:

OH and by the way………here is a sniglet for you!!

Ignoranus: A person who’s both stupid and an a++hole.

THAT WAS MY ENTRY FOR THIS VIDEO—-NOT A SLAM AGAINST BILL….. :oops:

I guess what we all should do is just ignore flaming and keep on track of commenting on the lessons. Part of what we are here for is learn something. I for one have learned so much from Marina’s lessons that is changed my negative view on the English language enough to start learning more about it. Im even thinking about writing some poetry. :grin: The other part is all of us joining together and discussing the lessons so we can get a clear understanding. Every one of us students is an important part of this class. Without you what is the point for Marina to do what she does if there is no student here to listen?

I hope everyone will join me into hanging in for a day or so to give Marina time to put out the flames. If we all work together and support our dearest teacher in this forest fire, all will be well soon, I promise you. :grin:

__/)___

Dear Mariana,

You are a very cunning linguist!

Thanks!

Bill

(oops – I meant Mariana!) sorry.

lol…yes, i think that was understood, BoArgMir…

*sigh*…perhaps we’re all a mite weary and overwrought, and double-checking ourselves…

off to do yardwork… :cool:

quiggles, I too never knew what sniglets were either. It sound like a very interesting world of new words. :grin:

Just so you know… it’s not me. too many bills to pay…
Who is Mariana?

Thanks BoArgMir I’m not going anywhere after I read the comment about him wanting to be deleted from Marina’s account. I went back through the videos and I think he joined about half way into sisphean and started just ridiculing people from the very start. He had three or four members right away he was chiding because of their comments. Every comment he made after that was ridiculing other people. He never had anything good to say except to Alx. I just want to go off on people like that like RRR does. But I restrain myself until I get overwhelmed with anger and just give up for awhile. Then I am ok. :wink:

Ok everyone. I have been in email contact with some of the regulars to this site. Most of them are taking sometime off until the flames die down and go away. Others might return someday. Not all is lost. Lets just not to respond anymore to anyone who you feel is flaming just to get attention. Flaming has been going on for many years in other posts as you already know. Its best just to ignore them and move on.

So does anyone have any ideas for new Siglets that we could use today? Lets make some up and see what others think about them. :mrgreen:

For gods sake alx!! :mad: I Use it as a general term! Obviously not the whole of HFW as not every one will be online.. sorry I mean

pissing the whole of HFW.com off minus alx who takes things too literally

Oh, I’m I glad to see you! :smile: …I knew this guy would draw you out of hibernation…don’t be a stranger. :smile:

@ Capman: Good man! :mrgreen: Thats the quality I like about you Capman. You think things through to see what it really is all about.

@ BoArgMir: Your exactly right about them just trying to stir up trouble so they can feel good about themselfs.

Ok I’m confused… I though it was for walking table to table introducing ones self. Is this incorrect? :???:

Smokey, It sounds like it could be. How does one know if a word is a sniget or no?

Well…I think this one is just great…misunderestimated……… :lol:

Yeah…it’s a Bushism, like truthiness is, but I love it. We are all misunderestimated here at this website. :wink:

Hi aLx, I come in peace and wish to answer some of your questions above. English is my second language as it is yours. I was certainly mis-understood and I never said pulsionsinconscientes insulted Marina. Others have insulted Marina in the past.

My defense of Marina, as well as others is no different than pulsionsinconscientes defending his point of view against what he felt was a crass comment. I think it came across that not only was he defending women in general, but Marina specifically. Nothing wrong with that, but I did disagree with his opinion, which I think you might agree is at least culturally based amongst other things.

My defense of Marina and others is applied in cases when it is clear that some one is trying to make a point by using deceptive techniques such as sending out red-herrings, baiting, “egging-on” and so on, either accidentally or on purpose.

Whether or not that is childish is for another discussion, but at least I am trying to contribute in a positive manner.

One of those topics for future discussion on another page might be why must you almost always use the “F” word. I’m sure you and I will disagree on this topic, but in the end, it adds nothing to the conversation, puts a lot of people “off” and there are many pre-teens in the audience. I’m not a prude, but my choice is to stay away from vulgar terms when not appropriate.

With kind respect….

I heard one new one, to me, just today- Blogfodder- I’m sure excactly what it means, but it sounds funny! :smile:

Hey ole friend, I am cool now. It’s just how other older members here took up for whats his name. I haven’t returned any e-mails to you because I have the gout in my left foot. It’s pretty much kept me on pain pills an cholchicine for a day or two. The pain pills work some, but when uric acid builds up in the toe joints it crystallizes and is very painful. I tried the WL but to no avail. I feel better today a new horizon so to speak. I read a comment I left to someone about what Bob and Billy B left for me a while back about stop, take a deep breath and relax and know every thing is ok. I just had to vent this morning, sorry it is on Marina’s site.
Sorry Marina
I wish we had somewhere we could go to blow off steam. My wife would just tell me to blow something up. As we do this all the time to beaver dams. Then relocate the beavers. I keep my muskrat around as he takes care of the ditch banks between fields. So now back to how some progress can be made. How can we help Marina. if she wants the help to settle down and encourage good members to join her site. She has some excellent members here, but the more the merrier. Love ya all including you Marina most of all.

This very interesting coming from you RRR. :shock: You seem to like a fight. I’m happy that you didn’t fall for the bait of flamers. :grin: Good to see you.

:???: Is that Marina’s twin sister???

I’m NOT sure what it means. :oops:

This is a portmanteau and a significant problem for me:

I am a CHOCOHOLIC…… :shock:

Jack If you finally or ever have children is that what they will be called jack-als. A little sniglet there. :wink:

thanks. that’s more like it.:)

I left out what the best part of what jack-als means jacks-angles :cool:

Capman,

Sure I understand. I might be able to set up a page on my site for ones to blow off some steam (I think though it would be better to have a private page to do this on HFW.). Its an important us to do so. Makes us feel heard. Helps us to get things off our chest. Its an important human emotion to voice off things that bother us and not to keep them pinned up inside. We are friends and good friends help each other when we need to blow off some steam.. Its good for us as long as it doesn’t get out of hand. Capman your always welcome to email me your thought to blow off some steam. :grin:

Love it. :wink:

James…….. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Ain’t that the truth.

** Update ** Marina is aware of the flaming and is taking care of it. I heard the ruler slap on a few desks already and those flamers are going to be sent to the principles office right away! So class is back to normal. Lets put all this ruckus behind us and get our homework done before we get an “F” for failure to turn it on in time. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

:roll: Off to do housework :roll:

:mrgreen:

Thanks for the update…..I’m off to do housework……….shame on such a pretty Saturday. :sad:

I think it means blog sh1t. Fodder on the farm means just that, do do. And yes there has been a bunch of blogfodder flowtating amungstest the memberites.
@ BoArgMir I’ll rent a chocolate machine and we can dip all kinds of fruit and candies in the chocolate. Me a chocoholic too. Just love m&ms :mrgreen:

sniglets …? never heard of snigets :P any word that doesn’t appear in the dictionary but actualy should is a sniglet :grin:

Capman, I had a few sea scouts that said I would make a great father. I see that to be one heck of a great complement. I don’t know if I will ever have any kids or not. For now I just rent them on the weekends if I need to. Rent?!?!? :shock: Yea, thats what’s cool about being in sea scouts. I deal with the kids on the weekends and then send them home on Sunday and let the parents deal with them the rest of the week. It works for both parties. Parents get a break and I don’t have to raise 20 kids. Imagine the cost of sending all of them to college… :shock:

Notice how you start out first commenting and end up last. Then your comment might not seem to go with the original text involved. :smile:

Good one. I have a few that I made up. They are right on the tip of my tongue. I just can’t remember right now.

I think I have this this year. Electile Dysfunction—The inability to become aroused by any of the candidates in an election :lol: :lol:

Oh that’s what I need to get at the market today. I’m out of chocolate! I have to have my daily dose of chocolate. I’m allergic to pesticides in milk chocolate so I have to buy organic or dark chocolate.

Good thing for you guys to remember. If any woman gets angry or is just a bit upset with you. Share some chocolate with them. It always seem to smooth thing over with fellow female crew members that where upset at someone or something. It’s very hard to keep crew happy when they live in small quarters aboard ship, 24 hours a day for 7 days straight.

That’s funny Capman….. :lol:

I always used to giggle at the slogan for the French supermarket “Geant Casino” – “Au Geant Casino, on fait baisser les prix.”

Ok I need some help on this one. What qualifies as a Siglets? Im I correct in assuming it’s just two or more words put together that are not in the dictionary?

A friend of mine and I came up with “AJs” Meaning Average Joes. We used it a lot in our discussions. So would that be anacroynm or Siglet?

I had to down load that site Bob that was good :wink:

:smile: CaptainJack I had a Capt who was the adim officer and all of his clerks were women. So he kept a bowl of chocolate on his desk and when one would come in argery, he who tell them someone needs some chocolate. He kept his offce somewhat civil.

Sounds like Marina has the car wash blues. Ohh, i have a sad story to tell. My girlfriend, April and I had gone to the store to get some party beverages to celebrate our upcoming nuptials.We then went to tell our families the good news. First stop was great grand paw Johns place but he wasn’t home so we just left a message in the mailbox and moved on to go tell her great grand parents. Being that they live real far south its like taking a trip to the south pole so we decided to do a little site seeing around the neighborhood. As we was turning to go down tumble weed trail to some of my girlfriends she was going to tell of the good news, a bullet from deer hunters rifle struck our horse a glancing blow in the point of the shoulder ( here is reference for you town folk http://www.gaitedhorses.net/Conformation/BodyParts.htm) well the shock of the blow knocked my hat off my head and the horse being stunned by the force of the bullet bucked a couple times and caused my girlfriend to loose one of the twins she was carrying.(thats why we was getting hitched being backwoods rednecks) Poor Sunshine never had a chance. Thats what we was gonna name the twins, Sunshine and Shadow. When The Deer Hunter came to see what he had bagged I asked him how could he have mistaken my black horse for a deer. He said he wasn’t hunting deer, he was Target shooting as this street ran along the back side of the local shooting range and wasn’t hunting and thought he was shooting at a large elk doe moving target that this shooting range employs at Times. Well the Neighbors all heard the Ruckus that was being raised, one of them fetched the local authority who said this was out of his jurisdiction, he then fetched one of the local Rangers. Well thats all I can say now, The Rest of this tale is scheduled for another book. The moral of this story, sometimes you can be in the right place at the right time and it makes all the difference in the universe. This story brought to you by The Rangers Ranger and his trusty side kick The Shadow.

This tale brought too you by The lo

:shock: Really!? …sorry to hear that…what a major bummer… :sad: :sad:

Vote ! You are a bad erector !

A SWOS-ing good question :twisted:
I guess they were just ahead of their time etymologically speaking. :razz:
Surface Line Mighty Fine.
Haze Grey and Underway.

I think the only rule is it should be somewhat funny. :wink: …you can just make a word up… derived from other words or not… :grin:

Marina’s sister is named Marinara :?:
A saucy babe. :twisted:

Sounds like Marina has the car wash blues, Taking a tinkle and seeing a reflection in the water, sucking the tits on friendly neighboring cow down at the local watering hole Couldn’t be a horse they only have twin teats,taking a dump when you got the squirts,and using more toilet paper than uyou normally would,wiping the cum off your twat after a rambunctious round of gangbanging at the local rape party you willfully participated in as the wheel hub, need i say more? Its not hard to know what you saying when eye am the one who invente the system, you just a dirty little whorey little hole whose collected more than you can pass off to others, which makes you stuck on one square and checkmated. this talender brought to you by The Man who Wrote The Book

And it will be another 4 years before we can hope for a cure. :sad:

Maybe we can have a telethon. :twisted:

Dear Teacher,

We got a Major Green problem. :wink:
It’s your picture here for this video. :wink:
It’s so WARM and friendly and genuine, your melting the polar icecaps of our hearts. :lol: :lol:

Muhhha!!!!

:?: Okay, I’m going to try to guess the sniglets in the intro. Most likely I’ll get some of them wrong:
table snorkeling: drinking through a straw
quadriboobage: either making dumb comments or has to do with
breast size
Googleganger: someone who is like you or your website, when
Googled
kidnapkinage: stealing napkins
pupkus: small poop
FMTYEWTK: For More Than You Ever Would Think…
Knowledgable??? Hell, I don’t know.
IMglish: instant message texting
crackberry: something to do with a blackberry? (never had one)
truthiness: wanting something to be true (of course)
keypals: friends you can text

Well, I posted what could be a sniglet about a week ago. But it is a little suggestive and I said I wouldn’t repeat myself. If you drop the ‘et’ in that word, it sounds like a stupid vulgar way of someone trying to whore themself around. So I won’t repeat it.

The Man who shot my horse he got off Scott free.

pipes & cigars are not to my liking; i grew up around cigs, so i tolerate ‘em, even enjoy that first whiff, but after that it’s gagful… :neutral:

oops – shoulda been “gawful”…

Haha :mrgreen:

Hi Marina, being the Queen of Words I would like to ask you to explain
the word ” Innuendo “. Of all the English words, this is my favorite.
After Gorbatsjov, you are the best thing that came out of Russia.

We all neighbors around here right? :razz:

I’m sorry about this and I don’t want to get into any trouble but pulsionsinconscientes SHUT THE FUCK UP :evil: :evil: My God do you have to try and wind every one up. You asked to unsubscribe, so don’t post anymore Why make a list of names? To wind people up.. Well you have wound me up and alot of other people (apart from alx :lol: )

you said you simply have to be right

That is incorrect. I don’t have to be right. I am right and you know it.

You just contradicted yourself!!

Hi again RRR Nice to see you

Sorry Marina, Please forgive me.

James

that was interesting thanks for all the info

Capman911, Don’t do this. Think about it. All the people that have started flame wars have gone now and soon p….scientes will be gone too. Why are we (people that write alot) being driven out by others, look how many major people have gone this week. Please don’t add to this list. Thanks

alot of other people

you’re getting better.:)

apart from alx

attaboy.

Alx? Can we (you and I :lol: ) just drop the “we” thing. there is too much going on at the moment to worry about 1 word ok..

Thanks

James

sure thing, dude.

Hi alx I replied to one of your comments somewhere at the bottom. about the we thing..

james,

if you think that this is a long line of posts — check the discussions on (prescriptive vs. descriptive) grammar. ha! have fun spending five days or so only reading.

got it. uh. i replied to another comment somewhere else … duh … time for marina to upload a new lesson, can’t find shit here anymore.

WORD REQUEST: implant

Second Choice: YouCouldDriveaTruckBetweenThoseBoltedOnGrapefruits

Thanks alx, can I make a suggestion?? In the next lesson there will be no getting into arguments with new people. Just ingnore them, Look how many people have left/leaving. We (hotforwords people (including alx!) Don’t like seeing people leave ) Also for alx.. Perhaps I should post a disclamer.. by
“we” and “us” etc lol

Huh? I don’t get the riddle :???:

Too many big egos

:idea: I think the whole thing was a ploy by pulsi. to cover-up for his not doing the homework, there was a kid in Junior High that pulled a fire alarm to get out of a test…

What the hell earlier the video was number 30

now

#40 – Most Viewed (Today)

how is this possible / legal

annudder; For what ever it’s worth I’d like to say that I thought you acted like a total gentleman today…

James, You can relax. :mrgreen: Marina has been informed of the issues and is taking care of trolls as we speak. As for others that said they where leaving, some will be back if not all of them. So take a deep breath and lets get back to our homework. :wink:

Stokesjrj1, your not making any sense to me. :sad:

Haze Grey,
Underway, and
In Harm’s WaY.

That really sucks. My dad used to have to horses when I was little. Their names were Thumper and Raven.

Now there is a word “Ruckus” I see I’m not the only one that uses that word today. I wonder if there is an interesting story behind that word?

How about telethong? Oh that doesn’t work hu? :oops:

If I’m checking the same numbers you are, mine say #1 for today…I looked on the YT channel and clicked “(more)” and it read #5 most veiwed today , in the Gurus class #1 for day, week, month

Telethong? Are we bidding on Marina’s skivey’s??

I would like to request the word “randy”
because I was reading the Ramayana and they mentioned the word randi which they explained in Sanskrit means whore. I was wondering if there was any connection.
Thanks!

“Well, ” Well” “CaptainJack ” “IF You Gonna Have/Raise Horses,” ” You Gotta Now How To Breed/Raise Horses” “LIke MY Father New How to Breed/Raise Horses”

Hello my dear sapiential teacher, could you please tell me how to use the phrasal verb “bust out”, and by the way : where is it from?
thanks in advance, God bless you, and your knowledge too.

be good as you have been, or better.

James, a little advisory, You should read up on how the Human Immune system works. Its capable of defeating even diseases that it has never encountered before.

You have got to be kidding? How in the heck did that happen? :roll:

Annuddermale, Hows your mother Virginia? I hear she’s needing to speak with you?

Hey, chevolay, ya know you got a busted windshield where a missile projectile of some sort hit the windshield. :shock:

looks like #21 for all vids right now (Feisty is #4); and #8 of partners (and Feisty is #3)… :cool:

ginormous is that one (sniglet) :?:

Here is what caused the problem in a round about way It was a dumb blond you might have known

this is insanely freakee if you opposed to such behavior on the internet

HEY I’m new here but I’ll give it a shot anyway… Shenanigans is my little request for you i’d love to see you “ethymologize” it for me!

Everybody.. new video is coming shortly.. had an upload issue again! And, PLEASE… can everybody PLEASE just try to get along. Don’t worry about DEFENDING me.. nobody has to defend me… I am very capable of defending myself… just take a look at the YouTube comments to see what I am talking about.

There is NOTHING anybody could ever say to me that would hurt my feelings.. I learned to ignore the bad stuff when I first got into this. The more successful you are the more negative comments you get… NO NEGATIVE comments means NO SUCCESS! I WELCOME the negative comments!

I DO THANK YOU ALL for the effort to protect me.. but understand that it is not needed!! I’d rather you all ignore the bad comments like I do.. it feels good when you don’t allow someone to get to you… it pisses them off even more when you ignore them!

Hi pegasus71 and welcome to Hot For Words. I am the door greeter like in Walmart :wink: Not just kidding, but we a glad to have you on board. :smile:

Well said Marina!

Well welcome aboard pegasus71!

Maia Marina, Did you read my Horse Story up above, I got kicked by that same Horse on my left side this one time, feels like it pulled a rib. Been in an industrial accident and lost the tip of one finger, got hit in the right rib cage and felt like i lost a rib then too. Good thing i was borne with 1 bone missing from my body any way. Damn March of Dimers, trying to cure the one and only needed thing to keep the world running have made a system which is almost not worth saving, actually though there just involved with the Mcgreedys, Who need to realize there is such a thing as too much of a good thing to their own destruction own if taking too far.

Did you know there is an eclectic scooter called the eGo?

http://www.egovehicles.com/products/north-america/

I almost bought one two years ago. Now Im looking at getting a Segway. I have been informed that the price is much better value and the product has improved. Its also more compact than an eGo cycle.

nope it’s a portmanteau.

I’d like to know about shenanigans myself.

Hey Marina I was wondering the origin of the term “Tube” which is most commonly used as a slang term for TV, and is obviously found in the website YouTube.

Thanks so much!
-UmbaFlicks

Can you explain ZIG ZAG?

Thanks!

Good morning chevolay. I just read your post so I guess its good evening now for you?

Cheers!

I got a Youtube video when i entered it into the google toolbar….man, this is crazy.

Hum, that link you entered before….. is it a private message you sended to me ?
I know I also post some bader comments, but……. this one is a interesting one !

Can you explain the orgin of TATOO

Thanks
-Troyboy300

could you explain the origin of the terms blue-collar worker and white-collar worker? I’d really appreciate it, because up till now I’ve been suffering from the delusion that blue-collar actually referred to a worker’s uniform and white-collar referred to a suit or tux. Please investigate and ease my confuzzled mind! :???:

capman911. to bad for you been neutralized

you can easily judge the chakacter of a man by how treats those who can do nothing for him marina you have good chakacter GOD BELEES YOU :lol: :lol: :lol:

Hum, stokes….. why it is freaky ? I can find “Sex” everywhere, in a libary, gas station, bookshop…… It is just what i´m searching for !

The internet is just the easiest way (you don´t even have to get out of your chair), it is just about which word you type into google.

WHO EVER WANT TO FIND SEX WILL FIND IT; HE/SHE/IT DOESN´T NEED THE INTERNET FOR IT, IT IS JUST HOW MUCH YOU ARE WILLING TO DO FOR IT !!!

Holy Day.

marina my dear…..Detruncus (de trunk’ us) – n. The embarrassing phenomenon of losing one’s bathing shorts while diving into a swimming pool.

i just made up this sniglet….snigletatized=a Snigletologists spending all day thinking up sniglets.

Quadriboobage = When boobs are oozing out of the top of a too small or ill fiting bra and presto! 4 titties!
Pupkus = Dog snot smeared all over the inside of the car windows

1- buttsecution, the extreme way people try to put out a cigarette without it reignighting.the smashing and pounding of a cigarette butt,
2-spraytimation, the little bit of fluid in a spray bottle that cant reach the hose in the bottom of the bottle.shake and shake just cant get it..
3-knapkinitus,Is when you really need a napkin cause ya got food all over your face,someones talking to you,you reach for a napkin and some shi#thead jammed the holder so tight you pick up the whole dam thing.you use your pants and have to use both hands.and get food all over all the other napkins.
