Thank-You and your student helpers on the guick reply concerning the gravatar… Cool, if I worked it right…. O.K. Here’s a joke; I read that it was one of Jim Morrison’s favorites….

My ex-wife once got confused trying to say “sourpuss.” Instead, she said “sore pus.” That’s probably not a spoonerism, but it really cracked me up at the time.
Back in the 1980s, John Wathan, former catcher and manager for the Kansas City Royals, lived in Deer Run, an upscale community in Blue Springs, Missouri. My wife once got confused and called it Rear Dung.
My Grandmother (that died and that we used to call Nanny and still do), when she first was introduced to my niece and nephew (that are actually called Josh and Molly) called them Mosh and Jolly because she was getting very old and senile, but also because she always was very loquacious, yet always had a great sense of humor in everything.
Mosh and Jolly (called of their great grandmother Nanny),

In the game City of Heroes/City of Villains there is a city area called “Port Oakes” Well, while the Fan-based Cape Radio DJs were making some in game commericals for an in game party they were hosting in Port Oakes, DJ Attercap accidentally said “Pork Oats” so they ended up putting that in the commericial, saying the event was brought to you by “New Port Oakes Pork Oats” :P
Marina, do you have the story of Cinderella in Russia? if you want a stunny forry spull of Foonerisms, try this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QaSMqttJSZQ
I guess if two people sleep like spoons then one of them doesn’t have to worry about getting forked?
I think you may be wrong on this one. It is much more likely that the O.E. spon was an old Norse loaning. Old Frisian also had the word spon. It is possible that this is loan into Low German from Greek sphen. the utensil meaning came about around 1300 and is specific to M.E. The spatula meaning was in Mid.Low.Germ. and coexisted with the M.E. meaning.
There’s been a vague memory nagging at me since this page appeared, and I’ve just recalled it.
When I was at University, there was a pub which was a favourite among the students, the name of which was a Spoonerism; it was called “The Boar’s Head”.
The phrase Hold a Candle to someone, where does it come from :O?
Oh and the Register/Password system you have on this site is terrible, Original account is Zeltir. The password I got in the mail didn’t work so I had to make another account :s
Hey pagedoll, I’m wets coast… haven’t even left work yet (I’ll leave that “wets” in, meant west, but it’s raining) I won’t get to catch the show on TV. :sad: Have been Bucking Fizzy, & Onth Mend on top of that, Wore Mork keeps comming in. I’ll have to wait for the Oill Brielly show on youtube or the website here.
How long was the “Marina” spot on the show??
Oh, I’d say inbetween 7-9 minutes. She always makes me laugh….I think fox replays his show a 8pm but Im not sure. I have Directv and on the west coast too. No rain in SD though(I wish)! :smile:
There really is no other research on where doh came from other than it was first done by the Simpsons I believe.
I usually speak in English on the site just because there are a lot of people from other countries and English seems to be the most common language that everyone can speak here.
Sorry I didn’t get back to you sooner, was traveling to NY and back!
I would like to request a word, Pear shaped for example in the UK if some goes wrong, we could say its gone pear shaped would love to know the meaning of this. Hope you can help HOTFORWORDS
I just played that sucker six times, just to play all the different layered guitar work. Good thing I was already in tune, capoed two frets and schwing!
I can’t figure it out. How can staring at a camera get you better ratings than your educational videos. Maybe you should try one day and just stare at the camera for four minutes. We will still always watch no matter what you do. :wink:
I saw something on television the other day that in Japan they sell DVDs of women just staring at the camera like she does… so I think it’s actually a kind of Japanese pr0n.
:grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin:
aLx made me laugh, callin’ me a bOOn!
are there other code words I’ve missed?
XD XD XD XD XD XD XE Ooops!
Ok lets get off the pron issue. Who’s birthday was it? It’s a very big and nice looking cake. I know it wasn’t your birthday. You have left us in the dark as so to speak on that issue. A lady never tells her true age. Does she :?:
How can that be considered pornographic? It doesn’t even qualify as soft porn. It’s a girl staring into a video camera. No nudity, no sex, no indecency whatsoever. I just don’t get how it can for one second be likened to porn. Or pr0n, for that matter.
As for the birthday cake, I think it should be accepted that Marina is being forthright when she states her age as 27. I too had some hesitation, because she seems too well educated to be that young, but I think her looks kind of speak for themselves. She may carry herself as more than 27 (apt, since her intelligent quotient would reflect such an impression), but things like her very nice skin tone bely a woman in her mid 20s, if not younger. I think it is safe to say that Marina is an honest, upfront person.
@ Errin. Marina stated, I saw something on “television” the other day that in Japan they “sell” DVDs of women just staring at the camera like she does… so I think it’s actually a kind of Japanese pr0n. Actually prOn is in the eye of the beholder. What ever turns them on can be considered prOn. PrOn is not limited to pictures of naked women or people in different positions. Some people get off on peoples underwear or bras. No one said that this lady was doing it for the same reason. She is just trying to learn the Japanese culture.
As for the cake, it’s has been an on going joke between Marina and myself about her birthday and her age for quite a while. She finally told us it was in December. It’s nothing more or nothing less. It’s just friendly chit chat between two people who have never met.
A long time ago one of the color commentators for the New Orlean Saint was a beloved former player Danny Abramowicz. During a game in the days prior to the 5 second delay, he spoonerized “punt coverage.” The resulting laughter caused the next play to be described after the fact rather than called live.
Hy Marina! My nick is.. lunapark. I know that “luna” means “moon” but can you explain to me why the lunapark is so called.
Thanks a lot!
Greetings from Italy.
You are great!!!
Hey, this isn’t actually a word request just something I wanted to point out. On your werewolf video you mentioned that the “v” pronunciation was changed to “w” overtime. I just wanted to mention that the pronunciation never changed, latin v’s were pronounced like w’s. Only in ecclesiastical latin are v’s pronounced as v’s, because of the churches close ties to Italy. I was just bored and felt like writing this, I have too much time on my hands :lol:
I like your article Errin, but I don’t think it should be used against harmless protesters. If they were caring objects to harm other people then maybe so. But everyone has a given right to protest against the government or it’s policies. It just tees me off to think that for every protest there has to be some kind of force used against them. Our society is going to hell in a hand basket.
I was going to mention the episode
of South Park where Cartman switched
the sheet music for the recorder band.
Glad I left it hang, Marina picked up on it!
Capman911 – The article is mostly preparing you for the onslaught of whinig lawyers, and their arguements against using non-lethal force to quell unruly and civily disobedient protesters. Your civil right to protest does not exempt you from the law, and is not a guaranteed right to disobey lawful orders, or put the safety of yourself or others at risk. Society has adopted non-lethal quelling methods in order to minimize damage to harmless protesters. If society was going to hell, people would die, not just sh*t themselves!
As a sound engineer, I think the brown note should be used on everybody just for fun. But that’s just me! :twisted:
Seriously, I get a big kick out of these sonic cannons, ever since they first gained publicity after a British cruise liner used one to thwart pirates of the coast of Africa a year or so back. Thing is, you don’t really need the brown note… enough white noise at a high enough decibel rate will stun people without hurting their hearing.
On a side note, I really object to our Armed Forces using professional recordings to agitate or interrogate our enemies. That to me is a gross perversion of the recordings original intent (i.e. make an artistic statement and some $$$ to go with it), and our Armed Forces would be much better served creating their own recordings, which would actually be even more effective for breaking down wills, as pro recordings are all softened down by compression. Even a loud rock song blaring at high volume has been tempered via mixing and mastering. Using a recording not designed for agitation and interrogation is not as effective as using a recording specifically designed for breaking wills. If our Armed Forces are going to start using recordings as part of their psychological warfare weaponry, they should start being more dedicated and NOT use the intellectual property of recording artists from the music biz.
Hey I got a word request me and my buddies were talking about yesterday. The verb, to sic. Like when you sic your dog on someone. I know sic is Latin, but the attack-dog verb does related to the Latin meaning at all. What’s the deal with “sic”?
By my calcs, comments are high.
Now is the time to start looking for
the new lesson to appear.
Should be out within the next
three hours, if the past trend
holds true.
Mike if I had an extra grand to spare, I’d send you a Mac. :mrgreen: I hate recessions. Im always the first to be hit. Discretionary income is what supports my business. Taking classes is aways the first thing that people cut in a down economy. :sad:
We can’t all be #24 marina………… (upload now! upload now! upload now! :mrgreen: ) I can edit it so you are number 1 if that would make things better :shock:
Just made a “run through the garden”

bits to respond to tedt’s comment below.
No joy, yet, on that one :mrgreen:
James.. I use music that people send me and some of the music is from loops that came with my editing program… so the reason why you may hear my intro is because these people use a similar program and happened to use the same loop that I use.
I haven’t seen you here before. Welcome to hotforwords! Howdy is a shortened form of the greeting “How do you do?” Since Marina has about a million word requests right now, I thought you might like to know. Hope this helps. See you around the campus.

As i am a bargecaptain and of course a sailor before i often wondered where the confirmation “aye aye” on an order came from, also because it’s not country bound but is used in all marine based enterprises, whether they are military or not…. could you find out? thanks in advance.
Aye, Aye means;
I understand
I will carry the order out
SO the term Aye, Aye
zeilbeest, Some people don’t know how to read the entire post. These things happen from time to time. :mrgreen: Its all in their good intentions.
:wink:
I’ve heard of barge captain’s, but I don’t know what that entails? What inspired you to get your Masters ticket? :grin:
As you can see from my logname i’m not american :mrgreen:
I’m from holland, and holland (or the netherlands as some of you know it), has the largest bargefleet in europe defenately, maybe even the world. Most of them are privately owned and the main business is providing the Rhinestates with product transport, either in the form of bulk,containers or tankers.
The other business is providing seavessels with the necesaries (food,water,fuel,luboil). I’m in that business… i sail a 700 ton heavy fuel barge in the Amsterdam,Rotterdam,Antwerpen(belgium) ports to provide seavessels with fuel.
Now you’d think fuel is fuel….. oh no, there’s all sorts… diferent centistokes (how luiquid it is) different sulfer content etc etc….
The nice thing about the job is that there’s always a challenge; figure out where the connection on the vessel is, how to get to it,pump exactly the right amount, getting there on time etc etc…..
So what inspired me to get my masters? Money of course…. if you want to make more money, you got to get the degree and put in the hours….. there are no free rides…. :razz: Does that answer your question captain Jack?
Every time that I come to your site, the word “cleavage” comes readily to mind. Is “cleavage” a contronym? Or is it only the form “cleave” which is truly a contronym?
I hope that you’re not chuffed that I would ask about the word “cleavage”. Or should I hope that you are chuffed? Wow, I seem to find it very difficult to ask such a beautiful woman so simple a question!
I wanna know the origin of the frase
(in swedish) ‘köpa grisen i säcken’
(in english) ‘to buy a pig in a bag’
if that is a saying in english? I dont really know, its really common i swedish anyway ^^
well keep it up
xoxo
Dear Marina!!! Please can u make lesson about latex!! I think it is important to know about it. There are a lot of things that are made of it. It is very interesting. And another ask – can u put on latex catsuit . With great gratitude, ur admirer.
I’m getting pissy with yt now.. Yeaterday I managed to get one of my videos to say watch in high quality. And the one i just did isn’t saying it!! Im going to try it on the one it did well in the first place now.
James it doesn’t always say it right away.. it used to take a few hours before it kicked in but now it’s pretty close to immediate for me… but that could be because I am a partner.
Thats interesting. I tried it with another video and it showed up straight away. I think it must be the lighting aswell then and filesize. Thanks for the help :grin:
Winston Churchill went into a lift drunk and a woman said “urrrgh your drunk” Winston said.” I may be drunk. And you are ugly. But at least I will wake up sober tomorrow”
James, nice quote! One of my favorites was in his running battle with Lady Nancy Aston who once said: “SIr, if you were my husband, I would give you poison.” To which Churchill responded: “If I were your husband I would take it.”
I need to film a conversation that I am having on the web…. now this would be comments going back and forth between me and someone or multiple people… something funny… and with a cliffhanger at the end. I am having writer’s block right now trying to think of something funny.. that people would watch in a video.. and would end up clicking on a link at the end to see where the conversation ends up.
Hey ! Marina ! What about a conversation with a French Old Dadie ?
It could be about English+Russian+French.
There are enough common words between French and English for making something interesting and funny.
:idea: :!: :?:
How about the subject of the pros and cons of various eating
etensils (forks, spoons, knifes, chopsticks, etc) there sure has
been enough material from past comments over the last few
days to start with.
a new fad at the beach is making
martinis and margaritas using
liquid nitrogen. Breathing the
vapors makes your voice deeper.
[sexy girl with deep voice]
“Buy me a drink, Sailor”
(get some gender bender related humor)
Perhaps a discussion could emerge
involving the dangers of using helium
as a substitute when nitrogen is
unavailabe, or using helium to
counteract the nitrogen.
[not so sexy guy with high voice]
“Hey baby, can I buy you a drink?”
(just plain – funny)
Buildup of nitrogen in the bloodstream
leads to narcosis (the bends) while helium
tends to induce laughter, then suffocation!
Marina as the unaffected interviewer
with two panelists, a man on helium,
and a woman on nitrogen to set the
stage for a debate over which method
works better.
The cliffhanger would involve having
Marina test both methods, using
lip sync to produce both the chipmunk
vocal effect, and Yello’s “Oh yeah” for
the nitrogen method, as an outro.
Don’t know how practical this idea is
as I’ve written it here, but there may
be some fodder for an even better
idea from Marina. :mrgreen:
melikadothechacha, “Perhaps a discussion could emerge
involving the dangers of using helium
as a substitute when nitrogen is
unavailabe, or using helium to
counteract the nitrogen. ” The only thing to counteract those two and still sustain life is a proper mixture of oxygen or air. You trying to get someone killed or brain damaged or maybe both?
This old joke has a bit of a cliffhanger to it. You think you can adapt this for your needs? Maybe at the least it might jump start your thoughts. :grin:
The Smart Blonde
A blonde woman boards an airplane. She is extremely exhausted and just wants to take a nap. She finally finds her seat and sits down next to a very curious young man.
He wants to test the whole dub blonde thing and possibly make some money out of it. “Hey, wanna play a game?” he asks her. “No thank you, i just want to take a nap.” “Please, its really easy, all you have to do is answer the questions that i ask you. If you don’t know the answer, then you give me five dollars, and if I don’t know the answer to your question, then Ill give you five dollars.”
“I really don’t want to do this. I just want to take a nap.”
“Oh but PLEASE pretty please. Okay, how about if I don’t know the answer to your question, I’ll give you five hundred dollars.” The blonde woman became interested and decided to play the game.
“Okay. How many moons does jupiter have?” the young man asked. The woman reached into her purse and took out a five dollar bill. “What goes up the mountain with three legs and comes back down with four?”.
The young man, determined not to lose, gets out his laptop and searches all over the internet for an answered. Flustered and confused, the young man hand the blonde five hundred dollars.
After a few hours, the young man was itching to know the answer to the question.”What was the answer to the riddle?” the blonde woman reached into her purse and handed the young man a five dollar bill.
Heres one cap , Three couples go to a motel, each couple wanting separate rooms, hotel keeper says 10 dollars each, or thirty dollars total. Each couple pays with a 10 dollar bill and the bellhop shows them to there rooms. later the motel keeper decides he overcharged 5 dollars for the rooms, says bell hop take this 5 dollars and give it back to the 3 couples, the bellhop on his way to carry out his task, can’t figure out how to how to divide 5 dollars between the 3 couples so he says , I will pocket 2 dollars and give each of the couples back each a dollar. Now each couple got back a dollar= 10 dollars minus 1 dollar is equal to 9 dollars times 3 couples is equal to 27 dollars plus the 2 dollars the bellhop kept makes 29 dollars, so what happened to the other dollar?
What? They never had 9 dollars in the first place. They each spent $10 and got back 3 and the Bellhop took $2. (30 – 5) + (3 + 2) = 30? Don’t over think it.
Marina,
How about come on and hang out, talk for a little bite.
Start a thread and stay to talk??
Just me, but if you try it, could work. XD
Try it today, What are your interests??
Is there something in the news that interests YOU?. :razz:
Her is an idea for a non-threatening thread,
How using one wrong word to explain your thoughts
cause people to misunderstand you entirely. Not understanding the words you use will hurt your argument..
Combining two homework assignments:-
A drunk goes into a bar and orders a drink, but the barman refuses to serve him because he’s already had too much, so the drunk commits a triple spoonerism, “I’m not as thunk as drinkle peep I am,”
Hi. Marina…
thanks 4 ur good new information .. I want to ask about..(AM) refers to the morning time and (PM) refers to the evening time..what are the differences?
I’m very privileged to have two border colors. When I post a comment my border is white and when I reply, it is cyan. Now, is that special or what? :cool:
never heard of electric blue. seems to be a little too pastel-ish for aqua, it’s definitely a light blue, but there are all kinds of blues that are “light”. baby blue … yeah … i once called it baby blue, but all those names are kinda vague — unless it’s one of the three rgbs or one of the four cmyks.
Hello Tavorite Feacher Marina, ( the hokin’ smottie with grood gammar, tot hopics… etc.)
Just a riendly feminder that you still haven’t klown a biss my way or givin’ me a moseup of your clesmerizing cleavage while naming me “your peacher’s tet!”. Oh yah, you also have a smeat grile!!!
Looks like I’ll just pave to be hatient. Flove is like a lower, it’s nice when you get it but it only wasts if you later it? hmmm? :arrow: :shock:
I like the way you took the homework assignment to a whole new level!
Your site is interesting, haven’t subscribed, yet, but I’m checking it out.
Keep it between the lines and out of the ditches :mrgreen:
I like your site to, but the other word “but” no offense, but it’s kinda hard to read with all of the bike stuff showing through. Don’t pay any attention to me it’s just my observation. You don’t have to please anyone but what you like. :wink: :smile:

Hello Marina,
The plant keeps changing. You could place an ad there and make a bit more pocket change.
Was Kobe barking at your “sister” for trying to get into the picture?
I think it would be great if you used your “Green Screen” to create a show that showed “both” of you together.
Homework:
I was going to copy a few but instead here’s a few spoonerisms
Thank you
A friend recently used the word kowtow. Although I know what the word means, I wonder if its origin has anything to do with carrying beef? I thought I should ask my favorite instructor for her etymological opinion.
Here i have a well-known example of spoonerism: i do not remember who ,anyway someone quite famous made become ”The American way of life” something like the ”American lying of wife”…not bad… -Then Мариночка, i have something interesting to discuss: the meaning of the word ”TARTUFFE” -it has the same meaning both in English and in French and since you are an authority in the field of literature you’ll certainly like…. :cool:
There was a satirical comedy program on the BBC in England a long time ago, which was called, “Not So Much A Weekend, More A Way of Life”.
I can remember one of my colleagues telling us that he was going away for a long weekend, to celebrate their wedding anniversary, and someone said, “Not so much a weekend, more a lay of wife.”
I had a thought marina,, Watching your billion video got me thinking.. If I had £4 billion then went to america I would end up with $4trillion.. But then I suppose the exchange rate would mess that up so I would still have the same amount?
As i am a bargecaptain and of course a sailor before i often wondered where the confirmation “aye aye” on an order came from, also because it’s not country bound but is used in all marine based enterprises, whether they are military or not…. could you find out? thanks in advance. :wink:
Aaar! Yer in luck thar matey!
Aside from the pseudo-pirates,
like me, there are a few serious
sea wayfarers here who are
into nautical word origins.
Captain Jack is our main source
in this regard. Other words requested
have been the usual: starboard,
leeward, astern and aft.
Your request rounds out the
list nicely. I’m just a landlubber
myself these days, but I still
get to go fishing in the deep water
from time to time. I loves it!
Marina may turn all this into
a lesson – look what she did
with “spoon”!
carry on, sailor
Peace! :mrgreen:
Great question! I have wondered that myself and still do today. :mrgreen:
I have my books open to the pages of words ‘ay,ay’ ‘Sir’ ‘No, no’ and ‘aye aye Sir’. I am pondering of whether or not to say anything. If I tell you then no video would be done for this word for sure. But if Marina is not going to do this word in the next week or so then your question would go unanswered. This is my dilemma.
Since both of us knows that it means and when to use it I won’t go into that detail. ‘ay’ was first attested in the late 16th century. As far as I can tell the origin is unknown or untraceable according to my references. Maybe our dear teacher can shed a bit more light? Marina not only finds origins but she also finds the stories behind the origins of the words.
Ok now i get the comment from roadrunmch, and it would seem obvious,but captain jack already said the origin lies in the 16th century, and at the time there were at least 4 great fleets, english , spanish,dutch and french (and don’t forget the portuguese), now everybody nows that crews were “drafted” (most of the time kidnap came more close to it) so that would explain the widespread trough all international fleets, but how come that particular word, and is the origin realy english?
I also did a few years in college and my major was history, and the 1st thing they teach you is never assume anything unless you have written proof.. :wink:
So again, what would be the origin of the term “aye aye”and why is it so widespread international troughout all things maritime ?
I anxiously await the answer….
P.S.( roadrunmch: i know what it means, im a captain, i wanna know where it comes from.. :wink: )
melikadothechacha, Well you know I fly R/C Helicopters as a hobby. Its a great stress reliever and a hella lot of fun. :mrgreen: You have to see this 4 year old Justin Chi. He’s now 6 years old. This kid is doing very difficult maneuvers I yet to learn. Now this heli cost around 2 grand. The crash was not his fault. Often helis break in mid flight because of the stresses we put these machines through. So sit back and watch in amazement. :shock:
To all students. zeilbeest and I know the meaning of this word very well. :grin: Problem is we don’t know the etymology (aka origin) of ‘aye aye’. :neutral:
AYE AYE The derivation of this is generally thought to be unknown, but some experts think it may possibly come from the German “Eiey!” – an exclamation of astonishment or admiration.
According to: http://www.etymonline.com
“assent,” 1576, perhaps a variant of I, meaning “I assent,” or an alt. of M.E. yai “yes.”
zeilbeest, I referenced all I can here. We may never really find out the origin of this word. This is really up to our Teacher to investigate. If there is anyone here that stands the best chance to answer your request and now mine, is Marina.
I was wondering where the phrase, “no sleep for the wicked” was originated. If you could help me out Marina, it would be greatly appreciated. I need sleep! :twisted:
Yeay! Tnks jura! mrglv, aleighsen, pairadots, hotfor-hotforwords-, rogeriopx, hotbutnotthathotforwords, jgstargazer, and guardianjosha all requested this word. Even Buzzword made a link to a YT video Catch 22. That makes 10 of us requesting the term. Though here’s the catch, we are short 12 students requesting that term. Well…just wanted to make it 22 requests! :mrgreen: Miss M might have to turn into Mighty Chipmunk again to name off that list. :twisted:
The novel was initially going to be called Catch 18. However, it had to be renamed so people would not confuse it with the Leon Uris novel Mila 18. Amazing what you can learn when you watch Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? :wink:
For those who are curious, there is more info in the following wikipedia page :
ILLUSION comes from Latin ILLUSIO that is the evolution of IN + LUSIO “in playing”. An illusion is something your brain invents, plays into your consciousness as in theater or in a movie. It’s not real, it’s “played in”.
Hi.
I have a word request. I’ve crossed this word several times, and have come to understand the meaning, but i just don’t understand where it came from.
To “bogart” something. Where you keep something (an object) selfishly to yourself.
Could it be that Humphrey Bogart was a selfish person? I have no idea.
Any way…
Love your clips!
:)
All the best!

hey i love watching your shows i learn alot, but i always wondered in the song “Everybody have fun tonight by wang chung” they say “everybody wang chung tonight” what is wang chung? is it just a band name with no meaning or is there an actual meaning?
I was watching your video discussing Skinny Dipping and made a sudden realization. I have no idea where the term Streaking came from. I would be much obliged if you could solve this mystery for me!
Sweet to see spoonerism mentioned in the video. As I remember mentioning spoonerism in the ‘blooper’ lesson on youtube about a couple of months or so ago :mrgreen:
I mentioned stuff like swimney cheep instead of chimney sweep, and chooked cicken instead of cooked chicken :lol:

Hey HotforWords, I was wondering where the word TOILET came from, and what it has to do with the terms “Going to the John, and Need the Lou”… who was John and Lou? and what they have to do with Toilets
Hi, Marina….I just took a course in CPR and the word VOMIT came up. And when it did I thot of you. Uhh…just because I thot it would be interesting to know the origin of the word. Not the most beautiful word in the world, but just saying it makes you want to….know where it came from! :grin: Thanks for the smiles and education! Stevie
my statement wasn’t political, it was intended as a personal insult toward the guy. what does congress have to do with bush being a moron? i don’t care what he does, whatever he does, he behaves like a fool, nothing political about it. bush’s ineptitude is a personal characteristic, probably genetic.
I know that there are others besides
President Bush who have been targets
for attacks. Shooting fish in a barrel
isn’t very sporting, and to bring it
here? well…i’m just sayin’
your right shooting fish in a barrel isn’t sporting, but admit it, its damn entertaining. as for bringing it here, i don’t see how its any more offensive than the frequent innuendo, friendly sarcasm, etc… besides i was just submitting my favorite spoonerism and backing it up. cool? lets move on to the next lesson.
1.) “It is kisstomary to cuss the bride” (“customary to kiss”)
2.) “Mardon me, padam, this pie is occupewed. Can I sew you to another sheet?” (Pardon me, madam, this pew is occupied. Can I show you to another seat?”)
3.)”We’ll have the hags flung out” (“flags hung”)
Marina,
Your wise and thoughtful TA brought up a good point earlier and got me to thinking.
I have a question: . Can you ask Mr.Vladimir Putin, ( He must Know of You, Being a World Celeb and Russian . )
When Russia takes over The USA and sells 1/2 to China,
Will He still let Minority’s run the Country? Or Gays and Women,?
Will We keep our Guns?
Will Animals still have the same or more rights as do our children ?.
Will there still be a Green Peace,or Global Warming?
Will Hollywood still teach our Children right from wrong?.
African/Russian? Doesn’t roll off the tongue as well.
Just thinking……. :cry:
HELLO MISHA! Как у Ñ‚ÐµÐ±Ñ Ð´ÐµÐ»Ð°? how are you? comment ça va? come stai? como estas? como voçe estais? wie geht es dir? hoe gaat het met jouw? hur mar du? jak sie mazs? Anyway thank you very much for the video you suggested to watch i found it extremely interesting!
Hey Capman, I have many friends up there. Im sure we can find a place to stay. There is all Billy’s pad we could crash at. :grin: I know a couple of pubs down the street from where he lives that we could go check out. Last summer I think I spent more time in Canada than I did in the US. :roll:
Dorogoj roadrunrch,i do not want be polemic,i do not want to preach or to sermonize but i do think that somebody should also ask somebody else some explanations about the illuminate,peaceful and constructive decision of installing some innocuous and friendly missiles just across our western borders… In my very modest opinion i think that this is just a little bit more important for the world equilibrium and for the common good of the whole world than our inner business… However,please forgive me if i bothered you with my reply ,i just think this is not the right place to face deeply such delicate subjects and i do want to communicate in the best and friendliest way with all of you! :smile: and forgive my English.
Yes ,
I agree with you completely. This is a bad forum for deeply intellectual or hypocritical comments, My fault. I was just here when the thought came to me. I’ll let it go and I don’t intend to push it ant further.
But having people of the World to ask is tempting. :oops:
I was thinking of writing a book called “The fall of the next great empire -How America sold out-” Good thing our fore fathers are not here. They would be kicking some serious ass! :shock:
said the dateless man, “i’m a smart feller”
said his buddy, “no, you’re a fart smeller. that’s why you’re dateless. and you’ll never get a woman to show you her tool kits.” (y’all figure that one out)
I did, and it was hilarious. I’ll have to remember the one about the tool kits. So the next time I throw beads to a young lass at Myrtle Beach I tell her that. :twisted:
Since your going on a political show, perhaps you can do an eponym on Bushism’s. :twisted:
If early man used hunks of wood as early spoons, did they have a lot of splinters in their mouths? And would this be the origin of tooth picks? :razz:
That cake is huge, you could swim in it. :wink:
What number birthday was it for you? :lol:
Oh I forgot, your a 627 year old vamparilla. :wink:
I guess it is big enough to hold that many candles. (If you have the fire department on alert) :grin:
HmW – Rev. Spooner also said “Kinquering Congs” & once greeted someone with “I remember your name perfectly, but I just can’t think of your face.” But my all time favorite was by Syd Ceasar at Bob Hope’s funeral “I couldn’t be here in spirit, so I decided to come in person.” Which is a fake spoonerism as he ment to say it…
Well thats not fair, you explained the origin of spoon, but you still havent told us the origin of the word tongue, and since those two are the ones that you allow I’d like to know its origin as well (also you mentioned you prefer it, so its your personal interest as well).
Yea! I still haven’t won the lottery yet. Two people I know (Karate instructor and Business consultant) have one the lottery. I guess I have to buy more than just two tickets in my entire life. :neutral:
C’mon ! is that so much to ask ? i agree that all comes down to good luck . But tell my this , what has other words that the word ” waiter ” doesn’t have ?
I hope that you will investigate the word ” waiter ” soon Marina .
Think He might be on his way to LA? :lol:
Maybe I should call down to the Blu-Jam and page for Him?
I tell the girl at the front to look for a Man with a Teddy Bear. :shock:
sooo, I always thought it was “Melik-a-do-the-cha-cha”
And you were Melik.
Now I understand how Marina can get mixed up at times with the nicks. :D
Anyway, you got mentioned, who cares if she mispronounced it a little? Rock on bro! :D
I’m jazzed, but my hat still fits!
cha cha, rumba, samba – ‘sall good
two things,first
I wonder what music Marina likes
to sing? She’s got the pipes, but
we haven’t heard her let it rip.
second – as a dancer, she’s more
of a spinner. Bet she enjoys this… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9z7t-Ox3XvU
hey macarena!
Marina, your the first person on this planet that I have seen, make a successful attempt at all those screen names. :mrgreen: I didn’t know they could be pronounced. :shock: I struggle with the simple names. :sad: Your skills are just amazing. :grin:
Hell Chacha
I thought She hit your name right on the head. Maybe with a little SO, CAL accent even. My Wife laughed when She said My name. My Wife laughed and said ” You must NOT be Her favorite, She can’t even pronounce your name.”
After 25 years and She just barely gets My sense of humor.
Can you explain the phrase “kindly do the needful?” I have heard that this is something that people from India say and that it might mean “do your job.”
well, this is what’s so great about all this. you just come up with another name for it and, there you go, they think the kgb doesn’t exist anymore. ha!
putin in dresden, good old times … we’re hiring.
Oh Oh Oh, could I be the head of a Swedish wing, I know some people who would make good recruits, and I know almost every Security Guard and LEO in the are XD
Ñ Ð´Ñ€ÑƒÐ¶ÐµÑким приветом, Ath. Long live Marina
I KNEW IT. I KNEW IT. When the walls came down my friends said we can’t trust the Russians. This is just a secret ploy to look friendly for the time being and to be better absorbed into American society. Once they are fully integrated into our system then they will strike. Only then they will be the true victors of the cold war as we converted to communism. Need and example? Just look how much Japan is buying up the US. Oh and don’t forget about the loans China gave us. You beginning to see a pattern here? :mrgreen: :lol:
Sign post up ahead says “USA going out of business, everything must go!” :lol: :lol:
Hand…
as in “give me a hand” or “could you lend me hand”
its very basic and we all use all the time….but its a little violent if you think about it. i wonder what the origin of the phrase is…?
Dear Marina, What a gigantic cake you had in your video! Looked delicious! Good luck to you on your performance on the O’Reilly Factor show tomorrow. I’m sure you will be excellent! Have a safe trip to the show and a safe return!
For your homework I can only think of one possible spoonerism. When Brad Pitt had his first daughter with Angelina Jolie, they named her “Shiloh.” If there is a spoonerism when using Brad’s family name, it would be: “Piloh S____.” So, I hope she uses the last name of Jolie-Pitt, instead! :-)
Best of luck, tomorrow! Your dear student, Seesixcm6
IF there is anything sinister about the word Spoon?
Ever had your Mother crack you in the head with a wooden spoon?
What about Spooning after sex? Why Spooning?
It was more like knifing, Cutting off your arm so as not to wake her so you could escape.
Ok. Please no more POLKA DOT boxes. People well think we are all gay.
“Cucking Funt” James?
Good thing you too have a box, now you can go ahead and live in it.(for making such a happy cromework, on the Spoonerisms lesson) :D
I found like one of the first video lessons I watch back in July called Assassin. As I watched it and others. I am just amazed how Marina’s style is so much brighter today than just a year ago. Its like I was watching two different people. Marina ‘IS’ a professional without looking to professional. She definitely has her true spirit in her new style. I wonder what she her lesson will be like next July. :grin:
I really hope She has reached Her goal by them.
Even if that means She’s not here.
What is Marina’s goal? Anyone ever hear her say?
Her own Talk Show?
News Woman or Actor?
Wife/Mother?
It would appear that Marina had
no idea she would be as big a
phenomenon as she is today.
Looking at those first lessons,
you could see the raw potential.
A year from now, Bill O’Reilly
could be making guest shots
on Hot For Words! :mrgreen:
To see him as the interviewee
would make an interesting show :mrgreen:
Try saying this without it becoming a spoonerism; ‘one smart fellow, he felt smart, two smart fellows they felt smart, three smart fellows, they all felt smart.
And sinece it’s getting closer to election time, I would like to request the origins of the terms Left wing and Right wing
Yay Thanks Marina!! One other thing, does this mean I can eat with spoons now??? On that note then I shall ask if there is anything sinister about the word knife, that shall spell an end to these utensil based word requests! My brother fixed my computer. He is only 13 but brilliant!
Dead Cows? Wow, dude!
Takes me back a few years…
They were all over the BBS’s
with handles like TheMooMan,
FossenHeifer, etc.
Back when “hacking” wasn’t evil. :mrgreen:
Lex Luthor, Legion of Doom, Captain Crunch, Phone phreaks, Chaos Computer Club, Cult of the Dead Cow, Free Kevin Mitnick, L0pht, 2600: The Hacker Quarterly, Phiber Optik, Masters of Deception, Robert Morris.
FBI’s Operation Sundevil which I was.. well.. Ok it was not a good thing.
Two members of California’s Homebrew Computer Club begin making “blue boxes,” devices used to hack into the phone system. The members, who adopt handles “Berkeley Blue” (Steve Jobs) and “Oak Toebark” (Steve Wozniak), later go on to found Apple Computer. See even hackers can go out and do good things and become successful.
The original meaning of the word “hack” was born at MIT, and originally meant an elegant, witty or inspired way of doing almost anything. :mrgreen: Now watch Miss M will say, no your wrong. It was……. :wink:
But lets keep them for a few days eh?? :smile: I like mine (shhhhh capman only the best get borders. She waited for me and you to ask then capped them)
This is a bit put together using a cold war civil
defense film soundtrack for sound bytes.
As you have yellow, black and rectangular
borders, thought you might get a good laugh
yellow, orange and gold are colors
associated with courage, bravery.
I agree, but whence come the phrases, “Yellow Belly” and “a yellow streak down his back” to refer to cowards?
Marina must have the courage to investigate.
Chopsticks are cool. :cool: I have many different sticks I can choose from. Makes eating much more interesting. Chopsticks and a deep spoon are all I need. I don’t even need a Ka-nife. You can use the sticks and a spoon to cut tender steak faster than a Ka-nife. :grin:
A spork is a classic example of fixing something that wasn’t broken in the first place: it’s useless as a fork (try eating spaghetti with one!) and useless as a spoon (test it out on some hot broth like chicken noodle or French onion soup sometime to see what I mean).
You have a problem with ‘colored’ lines Marina? *sigh* You know colored lines have every right to be her, just like the black one. :wink: If it gets out of hand again just use two hands and cup them more. That should hold them better for you. :lol:
Of course I strayed. Im like a stray dog. Just open the back door of any restaurant and you will find me pacing back and fourth looking for a hand out. But don’t you worry, teacher has a hand on it all. I think teacher will enlighten us on the etymology of the terms.
Once apon a time, in a coreign fountry, there lived a very geautiful birl; her name was Rindercella. Now, Rindercella lived with her mugly other and her two sad bisters. And in this same coreign fountry, there was a very prandsom hince.
And this prandsom hince was going to have a bancy fall. And he’d invited people from riles amound, especially the pich reople. Rindercella’s mugly other and her two sad blisters went out to buy some drancy fesses to wear to this bancy fall, but Rindercella could not go because all she had to wear were some old rirty dags. Finally, the night of the bancy fall arrived and Rindercella couldn’t go. So she just cat down and scried. She was a kitten there a scrien, when all at once there appeard before her, her gairy fodmother. And he touched her with his wagic mand … and there appeared before her, a cig boach and hix white sorces to take her to the bancy fall. But now she said to Rindercella, “Rindercella, you must be home before nidmight, or I’ll purn you into a tumpkin!”
When Rindercella arrived at the bancy fall, the prandsom hince met her at the door because he had been watchin’ behind a woden hindow. And Rindercella and the prandsom hince nanced all dight until nidmight…and they lell in fove. And finally, the mid clock strucknight. And Rindercella staced down the rairs, and just as she beached the rottom, she slopped her dripper!
The next day, the prandsom hince went all over the coreign fountry looking for the geautiful birl who had slopped her dripper. Finally he came to Rindercella’s house. He tried it on Rendercella’s mugly other … and it fidn’t dit. Then he tried it on her two sigly usters … and it fidn’t dit. Then he tried it on Rindercella … and it fid dit. It was exactly the sight rize!
So they were married and lived heverly ever hapwards. Now, the storal of the mory is this: If you ever go to a bancy fall and want to have a pransom hince loll in fove with you, don’t forget to slop your dripper!

Thank-You and your student helpers on the guick reply concerning the gravatar… Cool, if I worked it right…. O.K. Here’s a joke; I read that it was one of Jim Morrison’s favorites…. What is the difference between a smart midget and venereal disease? Give Up? A Clue… One is a Cunning Runt. Sorry if someone doesn’t get it (it’s perhaps better that way) but the Answer is not fit to print more than i done already. Have A Nice Day! Love Always
I think one of the original Spoonerisms still makes me grin…
“May I sew you to your sheets?”
instead of
“May I show you to your seats?”
HotForWords,
My spoonerism goes like your cunning stunt.
It goes:
Hot For Words
Wet For Hers

:razz: :oops: :smile:
The is a children’s book written in spoonerisms called “The Runny Babbit” or something like that.
One I’ve always found funny is the spoonerism for
“A Tale of Two Cities” which becomes “A Sale of Two… ”
you figure it out.
I would love to do this lesson however I jsy keep getting my mucking words fuddled up……
So Марина, what explains the use of the term “spooning” for sexual coitus in the side supported, rear entry format?
My ex-wife once got confused trying to say “sourpuss.” Instead, she said “sore pus.” That’s probably not a spoonerism, but it really cracked me up at the time.
Back in the 1980s, John Wathan, former catcher and manager for the Kansas City Royals, lived in Deer Run, an upscale community in Blue Springs, Missouri. My wife once got confused and called it Rear Dung.
Don’t know if this is true Spoonerism. But, my brother had one – “Bushy eyed and bright tailed”. (Bright eyed and bushy tailed.)
:grin:
My Grandmother (that died and that we used to call Nanny and still do), when she first was introduced to my niece and nephew (that are actually called Josh and Molly) called them Mosh and Jolly because she was getting very old and senile, but also because she always was very loquacious, yet always had a great sense of humor in everything.

In the game City of Heroes/City of Villains there is a city area called “Port Oakes” Well, while the Fan-based Cape Radio DJs were making some in game commericals for an in game party they were hosting in Port Oakes, DJ Attercap accidentally said “Pork Oats” so they ended up putting that in the commericial, saying the event was brought to you by “New Port Oakes Pork Oats” :P
Origin of the word ‘Erect’ or ‘Erection’ please? :)
Please… stand up when you ask a question.
OOPS! Almost forgot to turn in my homework! How about “Queer Fish” instead of “Fear Quiche”? Or “Waterfords” instead of “HotForWords” ?
Marina, do you have the story of Cinderella in Russia? if you want a stunny forry spull of Foonerisms, try this one:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QaSMqttJSZQ
I guess if two people sleep like spoons then one of them doesn’t have to worry about getting forked?
I think you may be wrong on this one. It is much more likely that the O.E. spon was an old Norse loaning. Old Frisian also had the word spon. It is possible that this is loan into Low German from Greek sphen. the utensil meaning came about around 1300 and is specific to M.E. The spatula meaning was in Mid.Low.Germ. and coexisted with the M.E. meaning.
There’s been a vague memory nagging at me since this page appeared, and I’ve just recalled it.
When I was at University, there was a pub which was a favourite among the students, the name of which was a Spoonerism; it was called “The Boar’s Head”.
What is that a spoonerism of? The Whore’s Bed is all i can think of… :shock:
That must be why it was so popular with the student body. :wink:
I think the spoon ran away with the fork in “ancient” times………lol Gotz to love the word “ancient”
There is one known to Metal Gear Solid fans, where the game would say “Fission Mailed” instead of “Mission Failed”.
The phrase “In the tank”. I can infer a general meaning from the context in which it is used but I would like to know exactly what it means.
Here is my request
‘Ballbuster’
What a dichotomy. Men ‘have balls’ when they’re assertive, but assertive women are ‘ballbusters’. Incredible!
The phrase Hold a Candle to someone, where does it come from :O?
Oh and the Register/Password system you have on this site is terrible, Original account is Zeltir. The password I got in the mail didn’t work so I had to make another account :s

She will be back NO doubt.
I heard the word ‘man’ mean’t a physical manifestation of the moon.
Where’d they get that?

I’ll have to wait for the Oill Brielly show on youtube or the website here.
How long was the “Marina” spot on the show??
Oh, I’d say inbetween 7-9 minutes. She always makes me laugh….I think fox replays his show a 8pm but Im not sure. I have Directv and on the west coast too. No rain in SD though(I wish)! :smile:

There really is no other research on where doh came from other than it was first done by the Simpsons I believe.

I’m going to TRY to have some sleep -.- it’s still like 30°C in my bedroom :evil: goodnight everyone
g`night foxbow, I’m attempting the same thing!
I can’t figure it out. How can staring at a camera get you better ratings than your educational videos. Maybe you should try one day and just stare at the camera for four minutes. We will still always watch no matter what you do. :wink:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUohprNRUHc
You could try to hypnotize us. Stare into my big blue eyes. We would sit there for hours staring back. :lol:
Dude, check the lessons. Marina already did a “mexican staring frog” episode back when it was cutting edge. Made my eyes burn!
Cool! aLx posted the link!
I saw something on television the other day that in Japan they sell DVDs of women just staring at the camera like she does… so I think it’s actually a kind of Japanese pr0n.
I think men over there like the real young girls. Kinda sickening if you ask me.
mike,
according to wikipedia (see below), she’s born in 86.
hey, you did japanese pr0n yourself! ;P
capman,
Man over there can buy school girls panties in vending machines.(used)
and your point is …?
Are we going to have a stare contest again?
That was fun last time.
A mist for you and a mist for me first.
Prauns? Prauns are cool, use ‘em for bait or eat ‘em if the fishies aren’t bititng.
Ok ok – my lameness…
What is a prOn?? :roll:
pr0n = porn.
b00n.
Marina,
Can you imagine how well you would do if you need this. Face the camera and just look around, close up. :idea: :idea:
:grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin:
aLx made me laugh, callin’ me a bOOn!
are there other code words I’ve missed?
XD XD XD XD XD XD XE Ooops!
Cap911; Joke: What are the three sexiest words in the English languge?
I am eighteen…
Ok lets get off the pron issue. Who’s birthday was it? It’s a very big and nice looking cake. I know it wasn’t your birthday. You have left us in the dark as so to speak on that issue. A lady never tells her true age. Does she :?:
How can that be considered pornographic? It doesn’t even qualify as soft porn. It’s a girl staring into a video camera. No nudity, no sex, no indecency whatsoever. I just don’t get how it can for one second be likened to porn. Or pr0n, for that matter.
As for the birthday cake, I think it should be accepted that Marina is being forthright when she states her age as 27. I too had some hesitation, because she seems too well educated to be that young, but I think her looks kind of speak for themselves. She may carry herself as more than 27 (apt, since her intelligent quotient would reflect such an impression), but things like her very nice skin tone bely a woman in her mid 20s, if not younger. I think it is safe to say that Marina is an honest, upfront person.
@ Errin. Marina stated, I saw something on “television” the other day that in Japan they “sell” DVDs of women just staring at the camera like she does… so I think it’s actually a kind of Japanese pr0n. Actually prOn is in the eye of the beholder. What ever turns them on can be considered prOn. PrOn is not limited to pictures of naked women or people in different positions. Some people get off on peoples underwear or bras. No one said that this lady was doing it for the same reason. She is just trying to learn the Japanese culture.
As for the cake, it’s has been an on going joke between Marina and myself about her birthday and her age for quite a while. She finally told us it was in December. It’s nothing more or nothing less. It’s just friendly chit chat between two people who have never met.
Sorry to keep posting on your personal comments page. I know it’s heck on the e-mail. :smile:

magibon.
She is popular alright.
She doesn’t look that old. That’s why she is so popular in japan.

:cool: Tolstoy knocks-out Hemingway 30 seconds into 1st!
How about a guessing game until you up load the new vid. Give us some clues and let us guess to see if we can figure it out.
Pick a pack…
Playing cards?
pickled peppers
Pick a 6 pack?
But it’s already past 6 in the east.
crowd? gaggle?
wolves
cigarettes?
What a great game!
Okay, umm… How’s the weather?

Well something didn’t turn out right. so don;t click on the url.
Well you have twelve more slots before you reach number 24.
A long time ago one of the color commentators for the New Orlean Saint was a beloved former player Danny Abramowicz. During a game in the days prior to the 5 second delay, he spoonerized “punt coverage.” The resulting laughter caused the next play to be described after the fact rather than called live.
Hy Marina! My nick is.. lunapark. I know that “luna” means “moon” but can you explain to me why the lunapark is so called.
Thanks a lot!
Greetings from Italy.
You are great!!!
Or how about lunatic.
why is winking considered a flirt?
Because they can see you
have
lustdust in your eyes.Hey, this isn’t actually a word request just something I wanted to point out. On your werewolf video you mentioned that the “v” pronunciation was changed to “w” overtime. I just wanted to mention that the pronunciation never changed, latin v’s were pronounced like w’s. Only in ecclesiastical latin are v’s pronounced as v’s, because of the churches close ties to Italy. I was just bored and felt like writing this, I have too much time on my hands :lol:
When will the o’reilley vids be on here?
Any hour now… In the meanwhile, you can pass the time reading this important news article:
http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/06/10/activists-preparing-against-use-of-brown-note-at-dem-convention/
It’s all you need to know about the dreaded brown note, courtesy of FOXnews.
Tough to be “cool ” with a load in your shorts.
Ups the ante too maintain a civil protest :cool:
Isn’t that from an episode of South Park?
I like your article Errin, but I don’t think it should be used against harmless protesters. If they were caring objects to harm other people then maybe so. But everyone has a given right to protest against the government or it’s policies. It just tees me off to think that for every protest there has to be some kind of force used against them. Our society is going to hell in a hand basket.
I was going to mention the episode
of South Park where Cartman switched
the sheet music for the recorder band.
Glad I left it hang, Marina picked up on it!
Capman911 – The article is mostly preparing you for the onslaught of whinig lawyers, and their arguements against using non-lethal force to quell unruly and civily disobedient protesters. Your civil right to protest does not exempt you from the law, and is not a guaranteed right to disobey lawful orders, or put the safety of yourself or others at risk. Society has adopted non-lethal quelling methods in order to minimize damage to harmless protesters. If society was going to hell, people would die, not just sh*t themselves!
As a sound engineer, I think the brown note should be used on everybody just for fun. But that’s just me! :twisted:
Seriously, I get a big kick out of these sonic cannons, ever since they first gained publicity after a British cruise liner used one to thwart pirates of the coast of Africa a year or so back. Thing is, you don’t really need the brown note… enough white noise at a high enough decibel rate will stun people without hurting their hearing.
On a side note, I really object to our Armed Forces using professional recordings to agitate or interrogate our enemies. That to me is a gross perversion of the recordings original intent (i.e. make an artistic statement and some $$$ to go with it), and our Armed Forces would be much better served creating their own recordings, which would actually be even more effective for breaking down wills, as pro recordings are all softened down by compression. Even a loud rock song blaring at high volume has been tempered via mixing and mastering. Using a recording not designed for agitation and interrogation is not as effective as using a recording specifically designed for breaking wills. If our Armed Forces are going to start using recordings as part of their psychological warfare weaponry, they should start being more dedicated and NOT use the intellectual property of recording artists from the music biz.
I left you a comment here.

Hey I got a word request me and my buddies were talking about yesterday. The verb, to sic. Like when you sic your dog on someone. I know sic is Latin, but the attack-dog verb does related to the Latin meaning at all. What’s the deal with “sic”?
I meant the verb DOESN’T relate to the Latin meaning by the way.
By my calcs, comments are high.
Now is the time to start looking for
the new lesson to appear.
Should be out within the next
three hours, if the past trend
holds true.
Who’ll be first today??? :mrgreen:
All I know its going to be a close one.
This dang computer crashed again last night. It has taken me all day until now to get it back to where I hope it will last a while. :mad:
Mike if I had an extra grand to spare, I’d send you a Mac. :mrgreen: I hate recessions. Im always the first to be hit. Discretionary income is what supports my business. Taking classes is aways the first thing that people cut in a down economy. :sad:
Who knows me-lika-do-the-cha-cha! Things seem to be moving rather slow today on YouTube :neutral:
We can’t all be #24 marina………… (upload now! upload now! upload now! :mrgreen: ) I can edit it so you are number 1 if that would make things better :shock:
Just made a “run through the garden”

How did you develope the 24 algorythm?
My math was way off the beat

ok – so first, Bill O’Reilly, then a
new lesson! Just like baseball,
Double-header under the lights!
WSUIT5 This is because by the time it is at 24 its at the peak. So I think marina said that thats the best time to add the new video
Smpfilms used marinas opening music… look at 8:29 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bXdKTDAa_s
This guy does a “mean cat” video I thought
Roadrunmch should take a look at.
Found it while trying to get some “barking dog”

No joy, yet, on that one :mrgreen:

James.. I use music that people send me and some of the music is from loops that came with my editing program… so the reason why you may hear my intro is because these people use a similar program and happened to use the same loop that I use.
I’ll be glad when Ronald Jenkins releases that one of the guitar music from his key board that you use on your site form time to time.
Im a big fan of Ronald Jenkins. That guy if phenomenal. :mrgreen:
That’s Jenkees, not Jenkins.
Hi!!!the word that i request is:Howdy!
thanks
Hi stefgabo,
I haven’t seen you here before. Welcome to hotforwords! Howdy is a shortened form of the greeting “How do you do?” Since Marina has about a million word requests right now, I thought you might like to know. Hope this helps. See you around the campus.

As i am a bargecaptain and of course a sailor before i often wondered where the confirmation “aye aye” on an order came from, also because it’s not country bound but is used in all marine based enterprises, whether they are military or not…. could you find out? thanks in advance.
Aye, Aye means;
I understand
I will carry the order out
SO the term Aye, Aye
sigh… again i’m a captain; i know what it means, i wanna know the origin…. :roll:
zeilbeest, Some people don’t know how to read the entire post. These things happen from time to time. :mrgreen: Its all in their good intentions.
:wink:
I’ve heard of barge captain’s, but I don’t know what that entails? What inspired you to get your Masters ticket? :grin:
For I was a Captain too. But I commanded a task force of firefighters. Loved the job. Hated to retire. :smile:
As you can see from my logname i’m not american :mrgreen:
I’m from holland, and holland (or the netherlands as some of you know it), has the largest bargefleet in europe defenately, maybe even the world. Most of them are privately owned and the main business is providing the Rhinestates with product transport, either in the form of bulk,containers or tankers.
The other business is providing seavessels with the necesaries (food,water,fuel,luboil). I’m in that business… i sail a 700 ton heavy fuel barge in the Amsterdam,Rotterdam,Antwerpen(belgium) ports to provide seavessels with fuel.
Now you’d think fuel is fuel….. oh no, there’s all sorts… diferent centistokes (how luiquid it is) different sulfer content etc etc….
The nice thing about the job is that there’s always a challenge; figure out where the connection on the vessel is, how to get to it,pump exactly the right amount, getting there on time etc etc…..
So what inspired me to get my masters? Money of course…. if you want to make more money, you got to get the degree and put in the hours….. there are no free rides…. :razz: Does that answer your question captain Jack?
This clip says it’s “funny”

Bass? that’s a GOOD fishy! :mrgreen:
So, what’s your favorite contronym?
Every time that I come to your site, the word “cleavage” comes readily to mind. Is “cleavage” a contronym? Or is it only the form “cleave” which is truly a contronym?
I hope that you’re not chuffed that I would ask about the word “cleavage”. Or should I hope that you are chuffed? Wow, I seem to find it very difficult to ask such a beautiful woman so simple a question!
I know you did the “Cat out of the bag” phrase, but what about “the cat’s got your tongue”? That phrase has always been intriguing to me.
Can you discuss the origin of the phrase, “saved by the bell”? It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I wanna know the origin of the frase

Dear Marina!!! Please can u make lesson about latex!! I think it is important to know about it. There are a lot of things that are made of it. It is very interesting. And another ask – can u put on latex catsuit . With great gratitude, ur admirer.
I’de rather be a smart feller than a fart smeller…. Ok, I’ll grow up now…
That’s a good one
I’m getting pissy with yt now.. Yeaterday I managed to get one of my videos to say watch in high quality. And the one i just did isn’t saying it!! Im going to try it on the one it did well in the first place now.
James it doesn’t always say it right away.. it used to take a few hours before it kicked in but now it’s pretty close to immediate for me… but that could be because I am a partner.
I have an idea for the website but I don’t know if it is possible. You know how you have on the main page
“9373744636463 views on youtube”
Could it be possible to have something like that, but with where it is on the most viewed list?
Thats interesting. I tried it with another video and it showed up straight away. I think it must be the lighting aswell then and filesize. Thanks for the help :grin:
Huh James? That counter is a widget.. you click on it and he gives you the code to put on your website.
Oh, I had never clicked it before :oops:
I am going to put that widget somewhere.
My dad told me of a good quote once
Winston Churchill went into a lift drunk and a woman said “urrrgh your drunk” Winston said.” I may be drunk. And you are ugly. But at least I will wake up sober tomorrow”
James, nice quote! One of my favorites was in his running battle with Lady Nancy Aston who once said: “SIr, if you were my husband, I would give you poison.” To which Churchill responded: “If I were your husband I would take it.”
Hey James, Your on the Marina elevator now, Next stop is the twilight zone.
I need to film a conversation that I am having on the web…. now this would be comments going back and forth between me and someone or multiple people… something funny… and with a cliffhanger at the end. I am having writer’s block right now trying to think of something funny.. that people would watch in a video.. and would end up clicking on a link at the end to see where the conversation ends up.
Any ideas anyone?
Hey ! Marina ! What about a conversation with a French Old Dadie ?
It could be about English+Russian+French.
There are enough common words between French and English for making something interesting and funny.
:idea: :!: :?:
Good one… kinda like Monty Python….
Im not suprised you havegot block.. That sounds very hard to do! I can’t think of anything.. But lood guck.
Cliffhanger… Me endorsing forks!! dah-dah-dah :eek: :eek:
no comment on this one i think ill just listen and shut up
ill, should be i will
I wanted to just shut up but i can be argumentative at times.
How about the subject of the pros and cons of various eating
etensils (forks, spoons, knifes, chopsticks, etc) there sure has
been enough material from past comments over the last few
days to start with.
utensils
helium and nitrogen, with a twist!
a new fad at the beach is making
martinis and margaritas using
liquid nitrogen. Breathing the
vapors makes your voice deeper.
[sexy girl with deep voice]
“Buy me a drink, Sailor”
(get some gender bender related humor)
Perhaps a discussion could emerge
involving the dangers of using helium
as a substitute when nitrogen is
unavailabe, or using helium to
counteract the nitrogen.
[not so sexy guy with high voice]
“Hey baby, can I buy you a drink?”
(just plain – funny)
Buildup of nitrogen in the bloodstream
leads to narcosis (the bends) while helium
tends to induce laughter, then suffocation!
Marina as the unaffected interviewer
with two panelists, a man on helium,
and a woman on nitrogen to set the
stage for a debate over which method
works better.
The cliffhanger would involve having
Marina test both methods, using
lip sync to produce both the chipmunk
vocal effect, and Yello’s “Oh yeah” for
the nitrogen method, as an outro.
Don’t know how practical this idea is
as I’ve written it here, but there may
be some fodder for an even better
idea from Marina. :mrgreen:
melikadothechacha, “Perhaps a discussion could emerge
involving the dangers of using helium
as a substitute when nitrogen is
unavailabe, or using helium to
counteract the nitrogen. ” The only thing to counteract those two and still sustain life is a proper mixture of oxygen or air. You trying to get someone killed or brain damaged or maybe both?
Read it again, over and over
until the meaning of the word
“danger” registers! Duh! :roll:
I only had to read the that first time too see the danger in your stupid idea!
This old joke has a bit of a cliffhanger to it. You think you can adapt this for your needs? Maybe at the least it might jump start your thoughts. :grin:
The Smart Blonde
A blonde woman boards an airplane. She is extremely exhausted and just wants to take a nap. She finally finds her seat and sits down next to a very curious young man.
He wants to test the whole dub blonde thing and possibly make some money out of it. “Hey, wanna play a game?” he asks her. “No thank you, i just want to take a nap.” “Please, its really easy, all you have to do is answer the questions that i ask you. If you don’t know the answer, then you give me five dollars, and if I don’t know the answer to your question, then Ill give you five dollars.”
“I really don’t want to do this. I just want to take a nap.”
“Oh but PLEASE pretty please. Okay, how about if I don’t know the answer to your question, I’ll give you five hundred dollars.” The blonde woman became interested and decided to play the game.
“Okay. How many moons does jupiter have?” the young man asked. The woman reached into her purse and took out a five dollar bill. “What goes up the mountain with three legs and comes back down with four?”.
The young man, determined not to lose, gets out his laptop and searches all over the internet for an answered. Flustered and confused, the young man hand the blonde five hundred dollars.
After a few hours, the young man was itching to know the answer to the question.”What was the answer to the riddle?” the blonde woman reached into her purse and handed the young man a five dollar bill.
Brilliant! :lol:
Heres one cap , Three couples go to a motel, each couple wanting separate rooms, hotel keeper says 10 dollars each, or thirty dollars total. Each couple pays with a 10 dollar bill and the bellhop shows them to there rooms. later the motel keeper decides he overcharged 5 dollars for the rooms, says bell hop take this 5 dollars and give it back to the 3 couples, the bellhop on his way to carry out his task, can’t figure out how to how to divide 5 dollars between the 3 couples so he says , I will pocket 2 dollars and give each of the couples back each a dollar. Now each couple got back a dollar= 10 dollars minus 1 dollar is equal to 9 dollars times 3 couples is equal to 27 dollars plus the 2 dollars the bellhop kept makes 29 dollars, so what happened to the other dollar?
the 1 dollar out of the original 30.
“What goes up the mountain with three legs and comes back down with four?”. Any 4 legged creature.
What? They never had 9 dollars in the first place. They each spent $10 and got back 3 and the Bellhop took $2. (30 – 5) + (3 + 2) = 30? Don’t over think it.
roadrunrnch , Yes i knew the answer.
However you make it sound like they each spent 10 and each got back 3 is equal to 21. Be more specific in you answer please.
Marina,
How about come on and hang out, talk for a little bite.

Hi. Marina…
thanks 4 ur good new information .. I want to ask about..(AM) refers to the morning time and (PM) refers to the evening time..what are the differences?
monther
Marina, as much as I love my border, can you please change it to red.. I shall keep it forever, I think yellow is too bright.. Thanking you
x
Somebody already has red.. so you have to be blue.. is that ok?
I was thinking about blue, didnt want to copy capman. I like it even more than red! thank you!
Hey! James gave up yellow?
Could I have it, pleeeeze!
Then I can be yellow, black
and rectangular (with wedge
shape inside!)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FlIDdxtj6JE
you better not take my color James. :lol:
As it kinda matches Miss M’s. :cool:
I’m very privileged to have two border colors. When I post a comment my border is white and when I reply, it is cyan. Now, is that special or what? :cool:
that is not cyan.
sry, in this case, i want to be pedantic, too. ;P
How about baby blue, maybe aqua, electric blue, light blue…?
Hey, pedantic is good. :-)
looks to me like neither
My box color is so specular that only
the coolest people can even see it. :roll:
never heard of electric blue. seems to be a little too pastel-ish for aqua, it’s definitely a light blue, but there are all kinds of blues that are “light”. baby blue … yeah … i once called it baby blue, but all those names are kinda vague — unless it’s one of the three rgbs or one of the four cmyks.
Have you ever seen a Blue Baby?

I like your site to, but the other word “but” no offense, but it’s kinda hard to read with all of the bike stuff showing through. Don’t pay any attention to me it’s just my observation. You don’t have to please anyone but what you like. :wink: :smile:

Dear Hot,
A friend recently used the word kowtow. Although I know what the word means, I wonder if its origin has anything to do with carrying beef? I thought I should ask my favorite instructor for her etymological opinion.
Best,
Rob
It’s Chinese, so no it doesn’t have anything to do with beef.
Here i have a well-known example of spoonerism: i do not remember who ,anyway someone quite famous made become ”The American way of life” something like the ”American lying of wife”…not bad… -Then Мариночка, i have something interesting to discuss: the meaning of the word ”TARTUFFE” -it has the same meaning both in English and in French and since you are an authority in the field of literature you’ll certainly like…. :cool:
There was a satirical comedy program on the BBC in England a long time ago, which was called, “Not So Much A Weekend, More A Way of Life”.
I can remember one of my colleagues telling us that he was going away for a long weekend, to celebrate their wedding anniversary, and someone said, “Not so much a weekend, more a lay of wife.”
:cool: Thank you Bob,that’s also a good one! :grin:
I had a thought marina,, Watching your billion video got me thinking.. If I had £4 billion then went to america I would end up with $4trillion.. But then I suppose the exchange rate would mess that up so I would still have the same amount?
Yeah but 4 trillion dollars is only worth like 120 pounds these days, so best to keep it in pounds! :-)
£120!!! I wish!

Aaar! Yer in luck thar matey!
Aside from the pseudo-pirates,
like me, there are a few serious
sea wayfarers here who are
into nautical word origins.
Captain Jack is our main source
in this regard. Other words requested
have been the usual: starboard,
leeward, astern and aft.
Your request rounds out the
list nicely. I’m just a landlubber
myself these days, but I still
get to go fishing in the deep water
from time to time. I loves it!
Marina may turn all this into
a lesson – look what she did
with “spoon”!
carry on, sailor
Peace! :mrgreen:
Captain Zeilbeest,
Great question! I have wondered that myself and still do today. :mrgreen:
I have my books open to the pages of words ‘ay,ay’ ‘Sir’ ‘No, no’ and ‘aye aye Sir’. I am pondering of whether or not to say anything. If I tell you then no video would be done for this word for sure. But if Marina is not going to do this word in the next week or so then your question would go unanswered. This is my dilemma.
Since both of us knows that it means and when to use it I won’t go into that detail. ‘ay’ was first attested in the late 16th century. As far as I can tell the origin is unknown or untraceable according to my references. Maybe our dear teacher can shed a bit more light? Marina not only finds origins but she also finds the stories behind the origins of the words.
It wasn’t “Eye, eye!” – regarding the first day with yer hook?
Funny Warren. :lol: You bring up a good point. I see many people write ‘ay ay’ or :smile: ‘aye aye’ as ‘eye eye’ which is incorrect.
Where do I find this stuff??
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKYAhVSBxsQ&feature=related
Aye Aye. Aye is old English for “yes.” A bluejacket says, “Aye
aye, sir,” meaning, “I understand and I will obey.”
Ok now i get the comment from roadrunmch, and it would seem obvious,but captain jack already said the origin lies in the 16th century, and at the time there were at least 4 great fleets, english , spanish,dutch and french (and don’t forget the portuguese), now everybody nows that crews were “drafted” (most of the time kidnap came more close to it) so that would explain the widespread trough all international fleets, but how come that particular word, and is the origin realy english?
I also did a few years in college and my major was history, and the 1st thing they teach you is never assume anything unless you have written proof.. :wink:
So again, what would be the origin of the term “aye aye”and why is it so widespread international troughout all things maritime ?
I anxiously await the answer….
P.S.( roadrunmch: i know what it means, im a captain, i wanna know where it comes from.. :wink: )
melikadothechacha, Well you know I fly R/C Helicopters as a hobby. Its a great stress reliever and a hella lot of fun. :mrgreen: You have to see this 4 year old Justin Chi. He’s now 6 years old. This kid is doing very difficult maneuvers I yet to learn. Now this heli cost around 2 grand. The crash was not his fault. Often helis break in mid flight because of the stresses we put these machines through. So sit back and watch in amazement. :shock:
4 year old Justin Chi and his R/C Heli.
“:aye, there’s the rub;”
William Shakespeare
Hamlet
circa 1599-1601
P.S.( roadrunmch: i know what it means, im a captain, i wanna know where it comes from.. :wink: )
That is the known origin….??
I am not so sure that non-English speaking sailor said Aye-aye, or ARR??
Spanish may have just said; Si’-Si’ Captain.
To all students. zeilbeest and I know the meaning of this word very well. :grin: Problem is we don’t know the etymology (aka origin) of ‘aye aye’. :neutral:
According to: http://www.royal-navy.mod.uk
AYE AYE The derivation of this is generally thought to be unknown, but some experts think it may possibly come from the German “Eiey!” – an exclamation of astonishment or admiration.
According to: http://www.etymonline.com
“assent,” 1576, perhaps a variant of I, meaning “I assent,” or an alt. of M.E. yai “yes.”
zeilbeest, I referenced all I can here. We may never really find out the origin of this word. This is really up to our Teacher to investigate. If there is anyone here that stands the best chance to answer your request and now mine, is Marina.
Now THAT was a funny reprise of the pirate joke from a prior vid!

Ohh my god, I’m “sick as a dog”. Where did “sick as a dog” come from :)?

I was wondering where the phrase, “no sleep for the wicked” was originated. If you could help me out Marina, it would be greatly appreciated. I need sleep! :twisted:
Wy do we say “as easy/simple as pie” or “a piece of cake ” when something can easily be accomplished?
Good question,
Also, A piece of ass? why would anyone want just a piece of a donkey?:lol:
How about ‘drain bramaged’ in lieu of ‘brain damaged’
Here’s one for you Marina: Where did we get the term “catch 22″ from?
Yeay! Tnks jura! mrglv, aleighsen, pairadots, hotfor-hotforwords-, rogeriopx, hotbutnotthathotforwords, jgstargazer, and guardianjosha all requested this word. Even Buzzword made a link to a YT video Catch 22. That makes 10 of us requesting the term. Though here’s the catch, we are short 12 students requesting that term. Well…just wanted to make it 22 requests! :mrgreen: Miss M might have to turn into Mighty Chipmunk again to name off that list. :twisted:
I am also asking fo catch 22 then..
Add me to the list for catch-a-22.
We will all have squeak names then.
Catch 22 sounds good to me :)
The novel was initially going to be called Catch 18. However, it had to be renamed so people would not confuse it with the Leon Uris novel Mila 18. Amazing what you can learn when you watch Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? :wink:
For those who are curious, there is more info in the following wikipedia page :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catch-22
This term is not all that interesting.
It comes from the psychological test / report the Military give combat troops.
ok. forgot the homework!
“Don’t dam the sloors!”
;)
where did “illusion” come from?
ILLUSION comes from Latin ILLUSIO that is the evolution of IN + LUSIO “in playing”. An illusion is something your brain invents, plays into your consciousness as in theater or in a movie. It’s not real, it’s “played in”.
Hi.
I have a word request. I’ve crossed this word several times, and have come to understand the meaning, but i just don’t understand where it came from.
To “bogart” something. Where you keep something (an object) selfishly to yourself.
Could it be that Humphrey Bogart was a selfish person? I have no idea.
Any way…
Love your clips!
:)
All the best!

hey i love watching your shows i learn alot, but i always wondered in the song “Everybody have fun tonight by wang chung” they say “everybody wang chung tonight” what is wang chung? is it just a band name with no meaning or is there an actual meaning?
Oh too funny. I just heard that song play on my radio about 2 hours ago! :mrgreen:
where did the word fan come from? as in “your a fan of somthing”. figure this out for me so i can finally know!!
Short for “fanatic.”
I was watching your video discussing Skinny Dipping and made a sudden realization. I have no idea where the term Streaking came from. I would be much obliged if you could solve this mystery for me!
Nice picture! Right now you’re making me thirsty.
Sweet to see spoonerism mentioned in the video. As I remember mentioning spoonerism in the ‘blooper’ lesson on youtube about a couple of months or so ago :mrgreen:
I mentioned stuff like swimney cheep instead of chimney sweep, and chooked cicken instead of cooked chicken :lol:
I remember when you did that!
Your request was answered
subliminally! Not bad…. :mrgreen:
time
Ouch THATS gotta hurt
Is that why older parents hit their kids with wooden spoons and not metal spoon? haha :shock:
The links on your Youtube home page http://www.youtube.com/user/hotforwords for Belly Jeans are messed upas of 10:52 pm PDT July 30. The Belly Jeans hyperlink goes to http://www.youtube.com/user which is my or other utubers home page. So does the Views hyperlink.
The result is there is no way to rate, favorite or comment to your Spoonerism video.

Hey HotforWords, I was wondering where the word TOILET came from, and what it has to do with the terms “Going to the John, and Need the Lou”… who was John and Lou? and what they have to do with Toilets
TOILET is a French feminine noun TOILETTE “little web”. TOILE being “web, tissue”.
Rich people used “tissues” for wiping their bottoms ! :mrgreen:
And what do “The Dirty French” use? :lol:
We already went over this in the loo video
Here’s “Marina on the loo” Woo Hoo!
http://www.hotforwords.com/2008/07/04/the-loo/
So where does “John” come in? and how did “tissue” come to be a Toilette?
Hi, Marina….I just took a course in CPR and the word VOMIT came up. And when it did I thot of you. Uhh…just because I thot it would be interesting to know the origin of the word. Not the most beautiful word in the world, but just saying it makes you want to….know where it came from! :grin: Thanks for the smiles and education! Stevie

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1teACBS-1cc&feature=user
probably best not to politicise, huh? :mrgreen:
my statement wasn’t political, it was intended as a personal insult toward the guy. what does congress have to do with bush being a moron? i don’t care what he does, whatever he does, he behaves like a fool, nothing political about it. bush’s ineptitude is a personal characteristic, probably genetic.
I know that there are others besides
President Bush who have been targets
for attacks. Shooting fish in a barrel
isn’t very sporting, and to bring it
here? well…i’m just sayin’
your right shooting fish in a barrel isn’t sporting, but admit it, its damn entertaining. as for bringing it here, i don’t see how its any more offensive than the frequent innuendo, friendly sarcasm, etc… besides i was just submitting my favorite spoonerism and backing it up. cool? lets move on to the next lesson.
I found a few that I found humorous.
1.) “It is kisstomary to cuss the bride” (“customary to kiss”)
2.) “Mardon me, padam, this pie is occupewed. Can I sew you to another sheet?” (Pardon me, madam, this pew is occupied. Can I show you to another seat?”)
3.)”We’ll have the hags flung out” (“flags hung”)

I’d love to do the homework, but it’s been a hot day, and I need to shake a tower. :mrgreen:
Marina,
Your wise and thoughtful TA brought up a good point earlier and got me to thinking.
I have a question: . Can you ask Mr.Vladimir Putin, ( He must Know of You, Being a World Celeb and Russian . )
When Russia takes over The USA and sells 1/2 to China,
Will He still let Minority’s run the Country? Or Gays and Women,?
Will We keep our Guns?
Will Animals still have the same or more rights as do our children ?.
Will there still be a Green Peace,or Global Warming?
Will Hollywood still teach our Children right from wrong?.
African/Russian? Doesn’t roll off the tongue as well.
Just thinking……. :cry:
If you ask Putin stuff like that, he’ll have you killed. I thought that was general knowledge already.
I was surprised at the things she mentions in the video and what is now happening.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3zhdRErYT8
I’ll move to Canada. Always wanted to visit there anyway. We bought Alaska from Russia and they will get it back for free.
Without the USA to stand up and take them on, The Bad Guys have it all.
HELLO MISHA! Как у Ñ‚ÐµÐ±Ñ Ð´ÐµÐ»Ð°? how are you? comment ça va? come stai? como estas? como voçe estais? wie geht es dir? hoe gaat het met jouw? hur mar du? jak sie mazs? Anyway thank you very much for the video you suggested to watch i found it extremely interesting!
Hey Capman, I have many friends up there. Im sure we can find a place to stay. There is all Billy’s pad we could crash at. :grin: I know a couple of pubs down the street from where he lives that we could go check out. Last summer I think I spent more time in Canada than I did in the US. :roll:
Dorogoj roadrunrch,i do not want be polemic,i do not want to preach or to sermonize but i do think that somebody should also ask somebody else some explanations about the illuminate,peaceful and constructive decision of installing some innocuous and friendly missiles just across our western borders… In my very modest opinion i think that this is just a little bit more important for the world equilibrium and for the common good of the whole world than our inner business… However,please forgive me if i bothered you with my reply ,i just think this is not the right place to face deeply such delicate subjects and i do want to communicate in the best and friendliest way with all of you! :smile: and forgive my English.
You have a very good point and you expressed it very well.
Political talks, like Religion should be discussed in their appropriate forums.
Yes ,
I agree with you completely. This is a bad forum for deeply intellectual or hypocritical comments, My fault. I was just here when the thought came to me. I’ll let it go and I don’t intend to push it ant further.
But having people of the World to ask is tempting. :oops:
Dude, I watched Kruschyev bang his
shoe at the UN on TV when I was six.
I have since watched the decay of

Your sister bails you out of saying the wrong thing every time! How does that work?
It was probably her evil sister giving the lesson today and Marina stopped her from saying the ugly word. :lol: :lol:
Ahh. The ugly word – you’re right.
They are twin sisters??!! I’ve always said it’s all about the “twins”! :evil: HotForWords has a video on it called “Booby(s)”. :twisted:

I did, and it was hilarious. I’ll have to remember the one about the tool kits. So the next time I throw beads to a young lass at Myrtle Beach I tell her that. :twisted:

HmW – Rev. Spooner also said “Kinquering Congs” & once greeted someone with “I remember your name perfectly, but I just can’t think of your face.” But my all time favorite was by Syd Ceasar at Bob Hope’s funeral “I couldn’t be here in spirit, so I decided to come in person.” Which is a fake spoonerism as he ment to say it…

Well thats not fair, you explained the origin of spoon, but you still havent told us the origin of the word tongue, and since those two are the ones that you allow I’d like to know its origin as well (also you mentioned you prefer it, so its your personal interest as well).
when i will see the ” waiter ” word in the list :?: :roll:
Everything comes to he who waits. :smile:
this is so total crap …
Yea! I still haven’t won the lottery yet. Two people I know (Karate instructor and Business consultant) have one the lottery. I guess I have to buy more than just two tickets in my entire life. :neutral:
Thanks aLx, I was waiting for that. :lol:
You’re so preFdictable. (sic) :razz:
C’mon ! is that so much to ask ? i agree that all comes down to good luck . But tell my this , what has other words that the word ” waiter ” doesn’t have ?
I hope that you will investigate the word ” waiter ” soon Marina .
Don’t mind us, waiter, we just like to wind each other up with banter.
Join in the fun, why don’tcha?
i’m not a big wind bunter i guess .

to ask for the origin of “spoon”.
Kobe got excited about
that half warmed FISH! :cool:
I always like the spoonerism where
Cinderella-ella slopped her dripper.
Thank you for making learning fun!
Damn you, I did it again. Say your name and you appear.
Poof! Now you see me! :mrgreen:
And to think, all it took was a simple
word like “spoon”…
She DID say a spatula is a spoon, right? :grin:
sooo, I always thought it was “Melik-a-do-the-cha-cha”
And you were Melik.
Now I understand how Marina can get mixed up at times with the nicks. :D
Anyway, you got mentioned, who cares if she mispronounced it a little? Rock on bro! :D
He’s at home now doing the cha cha all day :twisted:

hey macarena!
How is it supposed to be pronounced?
“Me-Lik’a-Do-The-Cha-Cha” Or Chacha for short.
He ran off somewhere
You did just fine :mrgreen:
Your accent was lovely….
Marina, your the first person on this planet that I have seen, make a successful attempt at all those screen names. :mrgreen: I didn’t know they could be pronounced. :shock: I struggle with the simple names. :sad: Your skills are just amazing. :grin:
I’m amazed too
The hardest one I had seen was probably that joker called something like pulscioninconscientes
Hell Chacha
I thought She hit your name right on the head. Maybe with a little SO, CAL accent even. My Wife laughed when She said My name. My Wife laughed and said ” You must NOT be Her favorite, She can’t even pronounce your name.”

“Bass Ackwards” would the most used one I know of.
Can you explain the phrase “kindly do the needful?” I have heard that this is something that people from India say and that it might mean “do your job.”
Spoonerisms – I used to do this as a party trick under the heading “what’s the difference?” and never revealing the punchline. Here are two examples:-
What’s the difference between a baby and a seagull? A seagull “Flits along the shore”
What’s the difference between an opera house manager and a small child? A small child “Sucks his fingers”
Also:-
“Cupid Stunt” was a Kenny Everet character spoonerism
Robin Hood’s companion “Friar Tuck” was a pretty good one too
The family member “Fanny Cartwright” was never ever talked about
I apologise if I have offended, but remember “It is not the mouth it comes out of, but the mind it goes into.”

i’m sure he’ll be around …
I KNEW IT. I KNEW IT. When the walls came down my friends said we can’t trust the Russians. This is just a secret ploy to look friendly for the time being and to be better absorbed into American society. Once they are fully integrated into our system then they will strike. Only then they will be the true victors of the cold war as we converted to communism. Need and example? Just look how much Japan is buying up the US. Oh and don’t forget about the loans China gave us. You beginning to see a pattern here? :mrgreen: :lol:

Dear Marina, What a gigantic cake you had in your video! Looked delicious! Good luck to you on your performance on the O’Reilly Factor show tomorrow. I’m sure you will be excellent! Have a safe trip to the show and a safe return!
For your homework I can only think of one possible spoonerism. When Brad Pitt had his first daughter with Angelina Jolie, they named her “Shiloh.” If there is a spoonerism when using Brad’s family name, it would be: “Piloh S____.” So, I hope she uses the last name of Jolie-Pitt, instead! :-)
Best of luck, tomorrow! Your dear student, Seesixcm6
IF there is anything sinister about the word Spoon?
Ever had your Mother crack you in the head with a wooden spoon?

I found like one of the first video lessons I watch back in July called Assassin. As I watched it and others. I am just amazed how Marina’s style is so much brighter today than just a year ago. Its like I was watching two different people. Marina ‘IS’ a professional without looking to professional. She definitely has her true spirit in her new style. I wonder what she her lesson will be like next July. :grin:
yea, totally! :D
I really hope She has reached Her goal by them.
Even if that means She’s not here.
What is Marina’s goal? Anyone ever hear her say?
Her own Talk Show?
News Woman or Actor?
Wife/Mother?
She did say in a comment awhile back of what her goal was. She is doing it. :smile:
It would appear that Marina had
no idea she would be as big a
phenomenon as she is today.
Looking at those first lessons,
you could see the raw potential.
A year from now, Bill O’Reilly
could be making guest shots
on Hot For Words! :mrgreen:
To see him as the interviewee
would make an interesting show :mrgreen:
And in the next 50 years.. :grin:
I stumbled across Marina’s videos at the same time that the local t.v. station was showing “Melvyn Bragg’s – The Adventure of English”.
It was an amazing coincidence.
Try saying this without it becoming a spoonerism; ‘one smart fellow, he felt smart, two smart fellows they felt smart, three smart fellows, they all felt smart.
And sinece it’s getting closer to election time, I would like to request the origins of the terms Left wing and Right wing
cool beans! :mrgreen:
Your question has got me thinking…
Birds have wings, but so do buildings.
and a stage has wings off the left and right.
she could make a game from this one :mrgreen:
I fell over the curtain weight once in the wings. Audience saw me land flat on my face.
Yay Thanks Marina!! One other thing, does this mean I can eat with spoons now??? On that note then I shall ask if there is anything sinister about the word knife, that shall spell an end to these utensil based word requests! My brother fixed my computer. He is only 13 but brilliant!
Wasn’t there a 12 year old boy who hack into a computer system that he took control of a satellite back in the 80′s?
I think you’ve been watching to many movies…. :lol:
War games !!
Have you talked to any Dead Cow’s lately?
Dead Cows? Wow, dude!
Takes me back a few years…
They were all over the BBS’s
with handles like TheMooMan,
FossenHeifer, etc.
Back when “hacking” wasn’t evil. :mrgreen:
Lex Luthor, Legion of Doom, Captain Crunch, Phone phreaks, Chaos Computer Club, Cult of the Dead Cow, Free Kevin Mitnick, L0pht, 2600: The Hacker Quarterly, Phiber Optik, Masters of Deception, Robert Morris.
FBI’s Operation Sundevil which I was.. well.. Ok it was not a good thing.
Two members of California’s Homebrew Computer Club begin making “blue boxes,” devices used to hack into the phone system. The members, who adopt handles “Berkeley Blue” (Steve Jobs) and “Oak Toebark” (Steve Wozniak), later go on to found Apple Computer. See even hackers can go out and do good things and become successful.
The original meaning of the word “hack” was born at MIT, and originally meant an elegant, witty or inspired way of doing almost anything. :mrgreen: Now watch Miss M will say, no your wrong. It was……. :wink:
Hey Captin,
I would like to say you are one fart smeller……oops I mean smart feller
Smokey, Naw… Im not that smart. Im still learning how to tie my shoes.
If you need to take them off, we will understand. No worries. :wink:
But lets keep them for a few days eh?? :smile: I like mine (shhhhh capman only the best get borders. She waited for me and you to ask then capped them)
Yellow, black and rectangular
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8wDKEhQcv0
This is a bit put together using a cold war civil
defense film soundtrack for sound bytes.
As you have yellow, black and rectangular
borders, thought you might get a good laugh
the borders are nifty. :mrgreen:
I draw mine on the screen
so I can make mine any color
I want. Scrolling tends to be
a problem, however…
Capman911? Where is MooseAndSquirrel??
Still a few identity issues? Dude! :!:
yellow, orange and gold are colors
associated with courage, bravery.
blue is more serene and pacific,
but still waters run deep.
green is another pastoral color
indicating balance and harmony.
Pink? i don’t know that one…
but I bet it’s hot-t-t-t! :twisted:
I like red. After ridding a red fire truck for 33 years I am kinda fond of the color. My pickup is dark red. :wink:
We be here too :wink:
I agree, but whence come the phrases, “Yellow Belly” and “a yellow streak down his back” to refer to cowards?
Marina must have the courage to investigate.
Fuckin’ L chacha that was trippy!
Miss Mirina,
Is a SPORK okay to use. It is a spoon, but has little tines on the end like a fork?
NO IT HAS FORKISH FEATURES IT IS EVIL AND SHOULD BE BANNED FOREVER
:evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:
and chopsticks :P ?
Chopsticks are cool. :cool: I have many different sticks I can choose from. Makes eating much more interesting. Chopsticks and a deep spoon are all I need. I don’t even need a Ka-nife. You can use the sticks and a spoon to cut tender steak faster than a Ka-nife. :grin:
Yeah i like chopsticks to :P it makes me eat slower so I can enjoy it more :lol:
Chopsticks have pointy stabbing pieces and i can’t eat anything with them… They also :evil:
Don’t challenge me foxbow.. :evil: :grin: :smile:
A spork is a classic example of fixing something that wasn’t broken in the first place: it’s useless as a fork (try eating spaghetti with one!) and useless as a spoon (test it out on some hot broth like chicken noodle or French onion soup sometime to see what I mean).
inteenth
I meant to say irteenth
Stokes you said
It took me a while to figure that one out. :lol: :lol:
I can’t think of any, but Pobody Nerfect :smile:
When the Fit hits the SHan I think I could think of something :smile:
I like that one better Smokey :lol:
My Navy best friend used to say that all the time! Ka-nife was a favorite word for him.
On your utube site you listed it as belly jeans. I used to have a friend named Billy Gene so we would call him Gilly Bene. :lol:
Capman how come you have a border???? Marina. If i can have a border can I have a yellow one please.. x
Miss Marina,
If I could have one could it be in green or blue?
Please (sorry no puppy dog eyes to choose from)
That’s it for the colored lines! It’s getting out of hand :grin:
Your is yellow James
You have a problem with ‘colored’ lines Marina? *sigh* You know colored lines have every right to be her, just like the black one. :wink: If it gets out of hand again just use two hands and cup them more. That should hold them better for you. :lol:
Captain?? did your mind stray
from the subject ??
Nuthin’ wrong with that,
just sayin’…. :mrgreen:
Another guy was asking about “hand”
he may be on to something..
hand-to-hand,
hands off,
hands on,
hand-me-downs,
out of hand,
etc.
While the origin may be a tough nut
to crack, the spin off phrases might
bear fruit of philological interest :mrgreen:
Of course I strayed. Im like a stray dog. Just open the back door of any restaurant and you will find me pacing back and fourth looking for a hand out. But don’t you worry, teacher has a hand on it all. I think teacher will enlighten us on the etymology of the terms.
:neutral: how about Tractor.
http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=0lNFRLrP014 check out the tractor and drummer :razz:
Thanks you Miss M. I like it very much. Hugs and Kisses. :wink:
so when I reply to you,
your box gets bigger? :mrgreen:
Some boxes are better smaller. :twisted:
9th! My magic number.
I thought 7 was your lucky number? :lol:
The Story of Rindercella by Archie Campbell
Once apon a time, in a coreign fountry, there lived a very geautiful birl; her name was Rindercella. Now, Rindercella lived with her mugly other and her two sad bisters. And in this same coreign fountry, there was a very prandsom hince.
And this prandsom hince was going to have a bancy fall. And he’d invited people from riles amound, especially the pich reople. Rindercella’s mugly other and her two sad blisters went out to buy some drancy fesses to wear to this bancy fall, but Rindercella could not go because all she had to wear were some old rirty dags. Finally, the night of the bancy fall arrived and Rindercella couldn’t go. So she just cat down and scried. She was a kitten there a scrien, when all at once there appeard before her, her gairy fodmother. And he touched her with his wagic mand … and there appeared before her, a cig boach and hix white sorces to take her to the bancy fall. But now she said to Rindercella, “Rindercella, you must be home before nidmight, or I’ll purn you into a tumpkin!”
When Rindercella arrived at the bancy fall, the prandsom hince met her at the door because he had been watchin’ behind a woden hindow. And Rindercella and the prandsom hince nanced all dight until nidmight…and they lell in fove. And finally, the mid clock strucknight. And Rindercella staced down the rairs, and just as she beached the rottom, she slopped her dripper!
The next day, the prandsom hince went all over the coreign fountry looking for the geautiful birl who had slopped her dripper. Finally he came to Rindercella’s house. He tried it on Rendercella’s mugly other … and it fidn’t dit. Then he tried it on her two sigly usters … and it fidn’t dit. Then he tried it on Rindercella … and it fid dit. It was exactly the sight rize!
So they were married and lived heverly ever hapwards. Now, the storal of the mory is this: If you ever go to a bancy fall and want to have a pransom hince loll in fove with you, don’t forget to slop your dripper!
Gy Mod ! :mrgreen:
Shut that fick !
dude, “fick” means “fuck” in german …
:mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
I am glad to see you found this story!
Been a long time since I heard that.
Thanks!
A Polish Spoonerism (for Polish speakers) :
Nasi przodkowie na mchu jadali / Nasi przodkowie nam huja dali :-)
What does that mean ?
Nasi przodkowie na mchu jadali / Nasi przodkowie nam huja dali
1 = our ancestors ate on moss
2 = our ancestors gave us a dick
A French Spoonerism (for French speakers) :
Le cuisinier secoue les nouilles / Le cuisinier se noue les couilles :mrgreen:
The cook shakes the noodles / The cook ties his balls :mrgreen:
You are always finding ways
to be “the dirty french” guy.
too funny, carry on! :mrgreen:
In France we like not to be correct :mrgreen:
But what about spooning? :evil:
It’s like two spoons lying next to each other in a drawer.
stunning cun… lol
Don’t be shy ! She wanted really to say a STUNNING C*** :mrgreen:
OMG you said the c word :oops: :lol: :lol:
Normal ! I am French !
What happened to the word you said. How did it get censored :?:
It must have been her evil twin today giving the lesson. She started to use the c word and the good Marina stopped her. :lol: :lol:
