Spoon & Spoonerism

yo

Food

stunning cun… lol

But what about spooning? :evil:

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:

Don’t be shy ! She wanted really to say a STUNNING C*** :mrgreen:

A Polish Spoonerism (for Polish speakers) :
Nasi przodkowie na mchu jadali / Nasi przodkowie nam huja dali :-)

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!

9th! My magic number.

Way to go Foxbow, Congrats. :cool:

Thanks you Miss M. I like it very much. Hugs and Kisses. :wink:

I thought 7 was your lucky number? :lol:

:neutral: how about Tractor.

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:

I can’t think of any, but Pobody Nerfect :smile:

OMG you said the c word :oops: :lol: :lol:

Capman how come you have a border???? Marina. If i can have a border can I have a yellow one please.. x

Gy Mod ! :mrgreen:

When the Fit hits the SHan I think I could think of something :smile:

I

Normal ! I am French !

Sorry that was meant to say I would have been first had my computer not frozen on me when i tried to make a video so i declare myself

#00.9999999999999999999999999999999999

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:

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:

inteenth

I meant to say irteenth

Your is yellow James

Miss Mirina,
Is a SPORK okay to use. It is a spoon, but has little tines on the end like a fork?

If you need to take them off, we will understand. No worries. :wink:

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!

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:

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

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)

Shut that fick !

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:

dude, “fick” means “fuck” in german …

hoset wot aveh eenb nownk oot eb blea oot witchs lacesp ta nya imet fo theret ono hoosingc

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?

frick and frack rickf dan rackf

:mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

I like that one better Smokey :lol:

You are netting on my gerves.

What does that 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:

Stokes you said

hoset wot aveh eenb nownk oot eb blea oot witchs lacesp ta nya imet fo theret ono hoosingc

It took me a while to figure that one out. :lol: :lol:

Wow you beat out of wetsuit today. Good job!

Sorry wetsuit :cry: Foxbow’s electrons where much faster than yours today. :smile: Better luck next time.

Not sinister ehh?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSUGp9Yz1sk

I think you’ve been watching to many movies…. :lol:

and chopsticks :P ?

Don’t challenge me foxbow.. :evil: :grin: :smile:

Spoonerisms

Cucking Funt

bumscag

I would like to know the origin of the word “nickname.”

yea, totally! :D

What is the origin of the word, “apple”?

What is the etymology of “sweater”?

Будем здоровы!

“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

Q. What’s the difference between a prelate and a girl in her bath?
A. The prelate has a soul full of hope. :grin:

War games !!

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.

Have you talked to any Dead Cow’s lately?

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?

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

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…?

Why is the server running on GMT+4, Moscow time?

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.”

tc all

x for teacher x

Because this website is a front for recruiting spies into the KGB and the servers are located in the KGB offices in Moscow!

huh? looks like pacific to me?

liar! it’s the fsb offices!

you see… I knew it.
But mum’s the (pass)word!

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.”

“Bass Ackwards” would the most used one I know of.

:twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Marina said “Me-Lika-Do-The-Cha-Cha” :mrgreen:

Nothing evil about spoons, huh?
Don’t be too sure about that… :grin:
(…that would be a cunning stunt)
http://youtube.com/watch?v=-hOhhgrM3bs

thanks to Hortence Freep and
Seesixcm6 for their suggestion
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!

I thought we were already members, comrade Marina. :wink:

I thought they were all great, didn’t offend me. :lol:

Where is the Chacha ,

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:

Damn you, I did it again. Say your name and you appear.

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

when i will see the ” waiter ” word in the list :?: :roll:

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).

How is it supposed to be pronounced?

It is… and you’r eright.. we changed our name.. but I’m finding it easier to recruit into the KGB… these Americans have no idea who the FSB is!

Remember.. KGB for life! Unless of course there is no more KGB.. then what do you do?

oooh sweet, KGB :grin:
Do we get free AK-47′s on joining too?

Best wishes, Ath, the gun-nut

Everything comes to he who waits. :smile:

“Me-Lik’a-Do-The-Cha-Cha” Or Chacha for short.
He ran off somewhere

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.

this is so total crap …

I am glad to see you found this story!
Been a long time since I heard that.
Thanks!

Spoons are ebul! Everyone knows that!

There is only one single thing to use for eating!

And that is…… a SPORK

Best wishes, Ath, The Spork, Live Fat and Pizza =p

You did just fine :mrgreen:
Your accent was lovely….

Hi lovely lady i have some requests if its not much trouble!
1. Fallen in love 2. let it die 3. Buzzcocks :shock:
:wink:

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

с дружеским приветом, Ath. Long live Marina

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:

:oops: what is a wanker? :shock:

nice video marina5* :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: wish you all the best on BILL O’REILLY SHOW :grin:

That’s the way to do it!
Make ‘em use their imagination.
Funny stuff! :mrgreen:

Good job finding those! :mrgreen:

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.

And candy in his pockets for the kiddies :lol: :lol:

The avatar works very well.

Alx can you get up with Buzzword? I think he would get a kick out of commenting to this comment.

Buzzcocks

Thanks RRR

But then this one works well too.

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:

I already have the gray Russian cold weather wool hat with the emblem on the front. It ties on top with a string. :smile:

http://www.fas.org/irp/world/russia/fsb/

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:

Miss M. what does the words on the badge translate to. :smile:

http://www.fas.org/irp/world/russia/fsb/fsb_logo.gif

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:

i’m sure he’ll be around …

Federalnaya Sluzhba Bezopasnosti = Federal Security Service

federal security service.

duh.

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:

He’s at home now doing the cha cha all day :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…

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:

RRR the avatar looks like squirrel is sticking his finger up moose’s butt. :lol:

so when I reply to you,
your box gets bigger? :mrgreen:

You are always finding ways
to be “the dirty french” guy.
too funny, carry on! :mrgreen:

I am commenter #123 :mrgreen:

So Marina, How did the interview go?

You had a good run going there!
there’s always tomorrow to
start another one :mrgreen:

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:

HotForWords.

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:

Best wishes for your appearance. :cool:

Some boxes are better smaller. :twisted:

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:

Bet you were surprised? :smile:
The next test is tomorrow!
study hard! :mrgreen:

Congrats Doug! You lucky dogfish! :mrgreen:
You get your 15 minutes of fame!!!!

I thought it looked more like he was getting a hand job. :lol:

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:

She is only 300 years old wetsuit. You making her to old :wink: :smile:

Guess what old dog learned a new trick.So COOL.

The accent fooled me.

we should all use ‘sporks’

It does a lot of people. :lol: :lol:

OOOOOH yea

I like to give kids helium baloons.
Then I show ‘em the “high voice”
trick. Hours of fun, better than candy. :mrgreen:

The Gravatar is definitely working! :cool:

The entertainment at Marina’s Birthday Party.

I can change between the two very quick.

LMAO on that one rrr :lol:

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:

She did say in a comment awhile back of what her goal was. She is doing it. :smile:

Me either, I thought they ere great. :wink:

Than-Q!
I drew my inspiration from this
Jim Carey piece

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTrxlAcZBNU
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Trlj_BI-sU&

.Check it out, I have a time machine it’s a Cute Video too.

This kid was also inspired
(shades of James!)

bwahahahaha. check it out, jack.

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:

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)

Jack you said this

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…

hey macarena!

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:

What happened to the word you said. How did it get censored :?:

Marina
Your sister bails you out of saying the wrong thing every time! How does that work?

My Navy best friend used to say that all the time! Ka-nife was a favorite word for him.

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:

ow – funny! :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.

I said pull my FINGER!

We be here too :wink:

Ah, the good old days…

all this talk of the k.g.b. takes me back

I’d love to do the homework, but it’s been a hot day, and I need to shake a tower. :mrgreen:

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.

Poor Kobie….he can´t perform his god-given barks :evil: …. :cry:

now that is funny!

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’ll move to Canada. Always wanted to visit there anyway. We bought Alaska from Russia and they will get it back for free.

It was probably her evil sister giving the lesson today and Marina stopped her from saying the ugly word. :lol: :lol:

good night nurse

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:

I like a shovel. I can get more on it. It’s not on the endangered list, yet. :lol:

buck fush he’s nucking futs.

shhh if we mention chopsticks…i’ll have to actually was my hands after i use the bathroom ;)

*wash (typo)

Is the queen queer? How about the singing pitch fork, slinging ditch stork. knew clear —Why spoonfed and not forkfed?

That mat fan loves to eat neer buts.

Vista is not woing dell.

Higher gas prices hurt the war cash.

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

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! great vid and i hope the cake was tasty :smile:

i wanted to request the origin of the word: hurlyburly

thx!

Without the USA to stand up and take them on, The Bad Guys have it all.

You half way stole my thunder, but here goes;
Q: What is the difference between a group of midgets and a women’s track team?
A: One is a cunning bunch of runts, while the other is a bunch of running cu…. ehhhh, errrr, ummmmm, there is Marina’s sister interrupting again.
You thought I was going to say cuties didn’t you? :mrgreen: :oops:

http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=0lNFRLrP014 check out the tractor and drummer :razz:

I love how you try to hide your “bad” side from your professional teaching. :wink:

Also Marina, can you please accept my request on PS3 online pleaseeeee? :oops:

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.

Yours.
aka WEAKKNEED

Is that why older parents hit their kids with wooden spoons and not metal spoon? haha :shock:

Ouch THATS gotta hurt

time

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:

Nice picture! Right now you’re making me thirsty.

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!

where did the word fan come from? as in “your a fan of somthing”. figure this out for me so i can finally know!!

Thanks aLx, I was waiting for that. :lol:
You’re so preFdictable. (sic) :razz:

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?

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.

TOILET is a French feminine noun TOILETTE “little web”. TOILE being “web, tissue”.
Rich people used “tissues” for wiping their bottoms ! :mrgreen:

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!

CaptainJack replied …
Your skills are just amazing.

I’m amazed too

Yeah i like chopsticks to :P it makes me eat slower so I can enjoy it more :lol:

Here’s one for you Marina: Where did we get the term “catch 22″ from?

How about ‘drain bramaged’ in lieu of ‘brain damaged’

And what do “The Dirty French” use? :lol:

Wy do we say “as easy/simple as pie” or “a piece of cake ” when something can easily be accomplished?

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:

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

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:

AAAAAh Who is moose and squirell??

I always thought it was me-leak-a-do-the-chacha! :stoopid:

We already went over this in the loo video

And in the next 50 years.. :grin:

I fell over the curtain weight once in the wings. Audience saw me land flat on my face.

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.

Hey Marina. Im from Austria and watching your show regulary on Youtube. Now you got famous through it so i wondered :idea: why it is called You tube.

Regards, jubjub

where did the word magic come from will if i could get some advice that would be great its been drive-ing me nuts :shock:

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?

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:

:smile:

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:

Jub Jub? What a cool name!
Marina is getting “world” famous
thanks to your participation.

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

HELLO MISHA! Как у тебя дела? 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!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1Ija-2vAPM
roooooooooooooooooollllllll another one…

I could not think of a spoonerism , so I asked my neighbor, if he could find one, and he said “no wucking furries” and then left. :oops:

I remember when you did that!
Your request was answered
subliminally! Not bad…. :mrgreen:

Here’s “Marina on the loo” Woo Hoo!
http://www.hotforwords.com/2008/07/04/the-loo/

Fuckin’ L chacha that was trippy!

Yeah but 4 trillion dollars is only worth like 120 pounds these days, so best to keep it in pounds! :-)

My neighbor has just returned with “no wuckers”. :???:

You have a very good point and you expressed it very well.
Political talks, like Religion should be discussed in their appropriate forums.

Here is word for you, Acorn. You get Walnuts from a Walnut tree; you get Pecans from a Pecan tree, why do you get Acorns from an Oak tree not Oaknuts?

£120!!! I wish!

Anybody know what’s going on with the banks in the U.S.?

A robber runs into the store and says, “All right you mother-stickers, this is a fuck-up!”

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?

Man, that was funny. I’m going to see what else they have at that site.

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:

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:

Sorry, No bar jokes today though.

Oh too funny. I just heard that song play on my radio about 2 hours ago! :mrgreen:

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

Your friend contacted me. Thanks for the tip. :grin:

Dude, I watched Kruschyev bang his

I have since watched the decay of

The best they can do so far is

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:

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:

Q. What is the collective noun for Bankers?
A. They’reI a Wunch of Bankers.

I am also asking fo catch 22 then..

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.”

The hardest one I had seen was probably that joker called something like pulscioninconscientes

You can Google anything, these days!

The first is a group of cunning little runts….

enough said

I went into the chinese once and asked for egg flied lice.. :oops: :eek:

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.

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 .

and real life.

This is a little wierd,
but it’s funny :mrgreen:

Add me to the list for catch-a-22.

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

Don’t mind us, waiter, we just like to wind each other up with banter.
Join in the fun, why don’tcha?

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

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,”

Somebody already has red.. so you have to be blue.. is that ok?

Why do I have a blue background colour? :shock:

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?

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.

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: :!: :?:

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.

Do you what a LAPID TLAIN is in Chinese ?

It’s a TLAIN GOING VELY FAST !
:mrgreen:

I was thinking about blue, didnt want to copy capman. I like it even more than red! thank you!

Sorry but Today 1 € is almost 1 £ worth !!! :mrgreen:

I’de rather be a smart feller than a fart smeller…. Ok, I’ll grow up now…

Good one… kinda like Monty Python….

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”.

Im not suprised you havegot block.. That sounds very hard to do! I can’t think of anything.. But lood guck.

dictionaricdotcom.. Roll in the cheap fags ‘n booze! :cool:

That’s a good one

You said something about that boy had streaks of me.. Well I made one myself, added my own voice in though. Its only about 20 seconds long.

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.

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.

Cliffhanger… Me endorsing forks!! dah-dah-dah :eek: :eek:

It’s our plot to get the whole of Europe to adopt the Pound and ditch the Euro.
Today Europe, tomorrow the World. :evil:

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?

We will all have squeak names then.

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:

We call them tarins. My aunt was on the train once and the electronic sign thing said ” O, welcome aboard the southwest tarins service, you are in Petresfield.” she was in southampton..

Im at the tarin station :smile: :???:

But does that mean more import tax bob?

Huh James? That counter is a widget.. you click on it and he gives you the code to put on your website.

She should say it its just a word ? blend it in with something like

country

cunstable

Phil Mike Hunt

Thing like that :mrgreen:

They don’t?

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

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”

Здравствуйте, Марина, красоты и интеллекта, wow. я думаю, вы замечательный преподаватель. Как мой русский английский за человек? :idea: :?: :?: :?: :smile: :smile: :smile:

no comment on this one i think ill just listen and shut up

woo nasty ( I live where the porche drive comes from) http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/2480068/Passengers-escape-injuries-as-open-topped-bus-overturns-in-Dorset.html

i’m not a big wind bunter i guess .

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.

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:

Can you discuss the origin of the phrase, “saved by the bell”? It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

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.

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:

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!

My fav spoonerism: Bass Ackwards

This term is not all that interesting.
It comes from the psychological test / report the Military give combat troops.

it’s raining cats and dogs!!! :mrgreen:

Yeah; I’ve been paying my mortgage regulary and now I feel like an idiot.

Good question,

Aye Aye. Aye is old English for “yes.” A bluejacket says, “Aye
aye, sir,” meaning, “I understand and I will obey.”

To Answer
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

Hi!!!the word that i request is:Howdy!
thanks

So where does “John” come in? and how did “tissue” come to be a Toilette?

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”
bits to respond to tedt’s comment below.
No joy, yet, on that one :mrgreen:

http://www.youtube.com/themeankitty

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:

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: )

sigh… again i’m a captain; i know what it means, i wanna know the origin…. :roll:

Marina posted this lesson
about a similar request for
“Let the Cat out of the bag”
http://www.hotforwords.com/2008/04/29/let-the-cat-out-of-the-bag/

To get the answer lesson, refer to the
words/lessons list (second pulldown) :mrgreen:

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.

All I know its going to be a close one.

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.

Who knows me-lika-do-the-cha-cha! Things seem to be moving rather slow today on YouTube :neutral:

Check this out!
a “barking” cat!

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:

I don’t know.. I think well.. but I don’t know.. I never know about these things!

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:

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.

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:

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:

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:

fu… ehhhh, errrr, ummmmm, there is Marina’s sister interrupting again. You thought I was going to say fun didn’t you?

that is not cyan.
sry, in this case, i want to be pedantic, too. ;P

Brilliant! :lol:

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..

When will the o’reilley vids be on here?

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.

You reminded me of this
Porky Pig blooper:

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.

Any hour now… In the meanwhile, you can pass the time reading this important news article:

It’s all you need to know about the dreaded brown note, courtesy of FOXnews.

Have you ever seen a Blue Baby?

you better not take my color James. :lol:

As it kinda matches Miss M’s. :cool:

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’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.

why is winking considered a flirt?

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:

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!!!

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.

For I was a Captain too. But I commanded a task force of firefighters. Loved the job. Hated to retire. :smile:

Tough to be “cool ” with a load in your shorts.

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:
Mike

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.

I went for the simple look so I could read mine. MikeMX32. Take a look. It’s mostly Marina’s things on there.

Well you have twelve more slots before you reach number 24.

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.

Or how about lunatic.

My math was way off the beat
today. #37 as of the time stamp.
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

:cool: Tolstoy knocks-out Hemingway 30 seconds into 1st!

“What goes up the mountain with three legs and comes back down with four?”. Any 4 legged creature.

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.

Pick a pack…

Still no sign of o rielly vid.. Or me being number 1 comment…. Suppose there will be other days. Goodnight from england.69

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:

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.

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.

my word is tickling, or tickle torture. have fun! jason

My Spoonerisms:

A dyslexic cop would say to a criminal, “Ass, Freezehole!”

It’s like two spoons lying next to each other in a drawer.

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:

wolves

You could try to hypnotize us. Stare into my big blue eyes. We would sit there for hours staring back. :lol:

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.

magibon.

cigarettes?

mike,
according to wikipedia (see below), she’s born in 86.

pfff yt is slow today….And wth is that magibon girl doeing ahead of Marina :S

I’m going to TRY to have some sleep -.- it’s still like 30°C in my bedroom :evil: goodnight everyone

She is popular alright.

g`night foxbow, I’m attempting the same thing!

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

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:

hey, you did japanese pr0n yourself! ;P

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!

capman,
Man over there can buy school girls panties in vending machines.(used)

What a great game!
Okay, umm… How’s the weather?
Here’s my local radar

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.

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?

Dude, check the lessons. Marina already did a “mexican staring frog” episode back when it was cutting edge. Made my eyes burn!

A word: GOO

Cool! aLx posted the link!

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.”

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.

I see it, but I don’t know
what to make of it.

Marina,
Can you imagine how well you would do if you need this. Face the camera and just look around, close up. :idea: :idea:

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 :?:

melikadothechacha, “Perhaps a discussion could emerge
involving the dangers of using helium

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?

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!

Hey James, Your on the Marina elevator now, Next stop is the twilight zone.

:grin: i am not expecting to grow flowers in the desert but i can live and breathe and see the sun in its party time

Read it again, over and over
until the meaning of the word
“danger” registers! Duh! :roll:

458th :shock:

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.

Top notch video! Yes that is my request: TOP NOTCH, How did that start?

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.

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

“Доброй ночи Мария, хотя для Вас скорее вечер

Меня достаточно давно интересует смысл и трактовка одной фразы, которую постоянно произносит персонаж одного знаменитого мультфильма. Не могли бы Вы помочь разобраться в смысловой нагрузке этой фразы, если такова имеется.
Фраза: D’oh!
Ссылка на видеоряд с этой фразой: http://ru.youtube.com/watch?v=UO8QpRkOG1o

Заранее благодарен.

Just saw the O’Rielly show, good job!!…You look like totally different person compared to the first time you were on. :shock:

I heard the word ‘man’ mean’t a physical manifestation of the moon.
Where’d they get that?
Thanks

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).

O’Reilly was great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She will be back NO doubt.

pack rat pack leader pack horse pack mule pack of gum

I would like to know why people says “I’m feeling blue” to mean to be a bit sad. Regards

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??

Im a big fan of Ronald Jenkins. That guy if phenomenal. :mrgreen:

the classic confusing conversation

annudder :cool:

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:

Marvelous on O’Reilly (sp)

Mark Twain used the word “blatherskite” a number of times.

Origin of the word BLATHERSKITE, please.

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

Here is my request

‘Ballbuster’

What a dichotomy. Men ‘have balls’ when they’re assertive, but assertive women are ‘ballbusters’. Incredible!

Thanks for the reply.

I fixed the background at http:www.youtube.com/bikengruvin so it is easier to read.

Cheers!

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.

@ 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:

Mike

I left you a comment here.

http://www.hotforwords.com/2008/07/30/spoon-spoonerism/#comment-45354

There is one known to Metal Gear Solid fans, where the game would say “Fission Mailed” instead of “Mission Failed”.

I only had to read the that first time too see the danger in your stupid idea!

I think the spoon ran away with the fork in “ancient” times………lol Gotz to love the word “ancient”

:cool: Thank you Bob,that’s also a good one! :grin:

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

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”.

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.

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.

have them arguing descriptionist v.s. prescriptionist. ugh!

That’s Jenkees, not Jenkins.

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.

pennsyltucky9

It’s Chinese, so no it doesn’t have anything to do with beef.

Now THAT was a funny reprise of the pirate joke from a prior vid!

“Warren replied on July 31st, 2008 7:14 am:
It wasn’t “Eye, eye!” – regarding the first day with yer hook?

Whereupon CaptainJack replied on July 31st, 2008 8:01 am:
….You bring up a good point…”

OW! That hurts just laughing at it!

Short for “fanatic.”

Hey Captin,
I would like to say you are one fart smeller……oops I mean smart feller

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.

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?

OOPS! Almost forgot to turn in my homework! How about “Queer Fish” instead of “Fear Quiche”? Or “Waterfords” instead of “HotForWords” ?

Origin of the word ‘Erect’ or ‘Erection’ please? :)

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

What is that a spoonerism of? The Whore’s Bed is all i can think of… :shock:

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),

Please… stand up when you ask a question.

Smokey, Naw… Im not that smart. Im still learning how to tie my shoes.

That must be why it was so popular with the student body. :wink:

I did a video on the word duh recently… and supposedly doh is a variant of duh… here is the video: http://www.hotforwords.com/2008/07/01/duh/

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!

Marina

how’s the let jag?

Марина, спасибо за ответ!
Был приятно удивлён, уделённым мне вниманием с Вашей стороны. Жаль, Вы не приезжаете на родину. Буду просматривать Ваш сайт, если будут возникать вопросы с непонятными фразами или словами, обязательно обращусь за помощью!

Посмотрев видео, я понял что слово DUH больше подходит под формулировку слова “ДА”, но в тех же Simpson’s, Homer использует это выражение явно с другим смыслом, чаще всего выражение D’oh переводят как слово “Чёрт!”.
Марина, не могли бы Ð’Ñ‹ более подробно рассмотреть мой вопрос, Ñ‚.к. мне кажеться, что слово “DUH” и слово “D’oh” в корне отличаються по смыслу.

P.S. Простите за нескромность, но не составит ли Вам большой сложности рассказать смысл этого слова на Русском языке?! Эдентично словам: “AK47&GTA4″

С уважением, Илья.

Марина, вас не напрягает то, что я пишу, на русском языке, на вашем сайте?

of doublement chewing gum

so your the bill the u.s. owes the former u.s.s.r.?

Don’t know if this is true Spoonerism. But, my brother had one – “Bushy eyed and bright tailed”. (Bright eyed and bushy tailed.)

:grin:

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 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.

So Марина, what explains the use of the term “spooning” for sexual coitus in the side supported, rear entry format?

I would love to do this lesson however I jsy keep getting my mucking words fuddled up……

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.

The is a children’s book written in spoonerisms called “The Runny Babbit” or something like that.

HotForWords,

My spoonerism goes like your cunning stunt.

It goes:

Hot For Words
Wet For Hers

:razz:

TOF

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?”

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….
