French Fries

Dear Marina, So I am at at Blujam right now and I’ll order some french fries. Kamil says you just ate lunch. Sorry to miss you. Again. :(

You were TERRIFIC on O’Rielly. Congratulations!! As I sit here I am thinking about all the stars in LA and how i would like to collect some autographs. Now wouldn’t that be a good word to investigate!

Das Vadanya, Quiggles

Hell yes for you

dont you wish your boyfriend was first like me?

D’OHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

or how about some evil fries

Request : where did the word Pirate came from and did it have to do with Pies?

I’m 6TH !!!!!! Yes…!!!! that’s pretty good for “Teachers Pet”. !!!

SO CLOSE

Awesome!

the difference between a “french frie” and a BELGIUM frie is that ours ( belgian fries ) are thicker then the ones in mac donalds and france
, belgian fries are like home made very thick and “suppppper duppper yummy” :lol:

There is a unwritten rule when your Teachers Pet, Your allowed to deduct 5 comments that beat yours. So….I’m pretty much first!!!

James I forgot where you asked about Dr. Jennifer Ashton,

Dr. Ashton is a prolific writer and has authored several scientific papers as well as health articles for laypeople. She is an active member of the North American Society for Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology,

She received her medical degree from the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Columbia University and completed her residency at St. Luke’s-Roosevelt Hospital Center of Columbia University.
She’s no light weight. And really Hotfor-Intellect….too :roll:

Here in the UK we call french fries “chips” (what the Americans call “chips” we call “crisps”) and I have never tasted a better chip than the ones I make at home

x for teacher x

McD’s has the best fries. It’s the only thing there that is really good.

Couldn’t you have just typed “FIRST”? That would have saved time for you and you could have been first.
By the way, what do YOU say when you jump off something really high?

Word request: Where does the word “genius” come from?

Ya gotta eat…ya gotta eat Checkers.

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!! :lol: :lol:

Absolutely outstanding. :cool:
You didn’t miss a thing. :wink: :wink:

LOVE THE FROG!!! :lol: :lol:

The French are damn fine cooks. :razz: :razz:
Probably in a head to head competition I would expect them to be victorious. :smile:
Le fry du me wit de shallots. Circa Jacque Peppan. And I dink we flambey it wit de white wine. :shock:
Catsup? You unsophisticated English dog. Get out of my kitchen wit des Catsup. I fiesty spit in your general direction. :twisted: :twisted:

Are Belgium waffles really from Belgium? :grin: (With Batman’s announcer accent)
Do Aussie’s drink beer? :grin:
And what really is the price of tea in Tibet? :?:

Really do LOVE these food references.
Time for supper.

It’s all grease to me….. :grin:

Fries suck today,

Back when food was just food, not a fashion statement, French Fries were fried in pure beef fat or maybe pork, ie lard. So good !
Blanched at a low oil temp, Then crank up the temp to 375* and crisp them up to a golden brown. A little kosher salt…
Dips, The sky is the limit .

I went to Mexico and got something simular to french fries except they weren’t long like a french fry. They were kind of ‘ground up’ and they were kind of dark brown and made of meat. They were then put into a folded tortilla and topped with cheese and lettuce. I forget what they were called but they were excellent…..someone told me you can get them at Taco Bell.

Bummer! One of these days I’ll bump into you! I eat there all the time!

Any place that does fresh cut fries has my vote! Nothing like a tater split with that loud thud sound!

DAMN!! I WAS WAITING FOR THIS FOR AGES!! :sad: :sad:

#26 Have you lowered you numbers Marina?

Remember 0 (zero) is a number also.

Things have been moving rather slow for me.. so I thought I’d upload a little earlier this time.

Burritos? :shock:
The best food in the world is Mexican.

Dear Marina, I rated your video five stars, again. What a nice photo that was of that beautiful blonde with sunglasses about to enjoy a French fry. :-) In French class, I learned the term “pommes de terre frites” meant fried potatoes. “Les pommes” normally refers to apples. So the French call potatoes “apples from the ground” or “pommes de terre.”
For your homework assignment, the best French fries are home-made. My mother would let me cook French fries because it cleaned the oil. I’d peel potatoes and slice them into 1/2″ bars. Then I’d rinse them in cold water because it removes excess starch. I’d dry the potato bars on a towel, since excess water causes splattering. The cooking oil is preheated to about 325 degrees Fahrenheit. The potatoes go into a wire rack and are immersed in the hot oil for up to two minures. Remove them from the oil and let the potatoes drip dry, then put them on paper towels to remove excess oil. Now, you’re ready to put them on a serving plate, sprinkle with salt, and even dip them in catsup! What a treat! (But I don’t enjoy French fries very often!) :-)
Your dear student, seesixcm6

Now I don’t have to wait till tomorrow!!!! its 5 past 10 pm here…

OK, so much for French Fries. Let’s get serious now. Let’s talk Potato Chips! Do you know where they came from? Who invented them? And what happened to the poor sot that invented the American Icon?

Have you found a large box yet, James?
Don’t forget the holes…

Hmmm! I see that Blujam doesn’t offer french fries! An uncharacteristic oversight. I ordered the Tex Mex tofu scramble. Wow! Only in California. :)

Well RRR. We have a catbasket..

Homework, Sorry Miss handed in late.. suppose its detention now. :sad: …………. :smile:

GIFTS and DONATIONS FROM JAMES HAJA

love it

you are wonderful and Whom ever makes the the fried potatoes–0–make’m the best

Who told you that? Even if that were true they are still good

13 Coins here in Seattle gets top honors for fries… gotta order the steak philly to get em…. YUM! :cool:

It’s an infamy Marina :shock: You know perfectly well that Belgium is a part of France as well as a big part of Switzerland and Rheinland :mrgreen:
These grounds belong to our ancestors the Gauls ! Besides the BELGAE were a gaulic tribe that fighted a long time against these bloody Romans ! VIVE LE QUEBEC LIBRE !

The best fries are cooked in an unblended (pure) oil: high temp. use peanut oil, low temp use sunflower oil, blanch with salt then lightly ‘salt’ when there still hot.

McDonald’s got busted/caught about 8 years ago stating that their fries were cooked in pure vegetable oil (still ultra blended & ultra cheap), in the stores this was true, but that wasn’t the whole story. Since the 50′s they had been parboiling all the fries before they left the supply factory in the worst most animal based lard—even using tallow. Oh, they’ve since changed it’s all blended vegetable oil now—’cause they care…In-N-Out’s can be good for a chain. Gladstone’s use to be good.

Marina why is it ‘cloud 9′,

Smaller than air http://blog.wired.com/gadgets/2008/01/mitsubishi-pedi.html

To make any french fry you firs peel the potato, then cut the potato, then par cook (boil in some kind of liquid), then you par fry the potato. This cuts down the end cooking time. After all that it is packaged and shipped all over. McDonalds, Burger King, schools and other resaurants everywhere.

Toothpain in the end? :???:

Homework:
I’m afraid I cannot do my homework today cause I’m not from US :-(.

Miss Marina,
Just wondering if the words officer and sir are some how connected. I know sir comes from the old english word sire , but there are words that have no connection ie. MALE-FEMALE that one would think that there is one. Maybe at one time officer was spelled offisir?
What do you think?

Ooops the dog ALMOST ate my homework.
I have to say that the best fast food fries are from McDonalds. Other than that they have to be a thin cut. The larger ones like joe-joes are too thick and have a hard time cooking right without making the out side burned or the inside rawish (under cooked)

Why hasn’t their been a teacher’s pet in a while?

will u please investigate for the word ” waiter : Marina ? :roll:

I like Ruby Tuesday’s french fries. They have a spicy coating on the outside. Zesty brand fries at the supermarket has very good fries. But we fry all of our fries at home in peanut oil. It takes the heat better and longer. :grin:

Or she bit her jaw. I know that hurts. :neutral:

Hey James, what’s next on the video list for you to do :?:

A lot of places ‘make’ their own fries from scratch. In-N-Out dices the potatoes at each store, five minutes before eatng it’s a whole potato.

Hum. TMJ. :evil:
From smiling so much. :wink:

Did Julia Child ever make French Fries? :razz: :razz:

I prefer Burger King fries

five stars

I have always liked Burger King. They have the best hamburgers. :cool:

what is she saying from 0:49 to 0:51 ?

dude patience.

I’m still trying to figure out what “Chicken fried steak” is. Anyhow, there’s a small mom and pop Chinese restaurant in my neighborhood that makes the best “Shanghai fries.” Potato strips marinated in soy sauce before being fried. They’re out of this world.

Being in the food industry for the last 16 years and half of those as a sous chef I know why it is called chicken fried steak. Although there are pats of the U.S. where they use chicken. A chef I used to work with came from Wis. and thats how they did them there.
If it is okay I will tell you, but not till I get word on that.

She said the word came from solders returning from battle during WW1 from predomantly French speaking parts of Europe. :smile:

I would like to request word.

On the wagon and off the wagon.

Thanks

Maybe they are waiters because they Wait for the customer to show up, then they Wait for them to order, then they Wait for their food, then they wait for them to be done. After all that they Wait for the costomer to pay. If the waiter Waited well enough they Wait for a tip.

Smokey I thought it was a steak fried in a pan like you would fry chicken. I know you are the chef so I am waiting for the answer too.

And there is a background “voice over” saying “bonjour” – French for hello.

pugnatious

Capman you are right. It is a steak breaded and fried like you would do to a chicken. Ever notice how country gravy tastes better on them than a brown gravy used on meatloaf?

They do have great burgers, but I’m not a big fan of their fries.

predomantly? what does that mean?

pre·dom·i·nant = most common

So a part of Europe which mostly spoke French.

Here’s a link
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/predominant

predominant >adjective 1 present as the strongest or main element. 2 having the greatest control or power.

Unfortunately, Micky Ds has the best fries.

What about French Toast? It”s hard to believe that the French make toast by frying bread soaked in eggs. I like mine baked with cinnamon. If you haven’t tried it, you’re missing a life experience.

French bread and cheese is always good with wine. Ummm. :mrgreen:

I’m not sure, but I think it has to do with how they transported booze before there were trucks and things.

Marina:

Someone else always makes the best.

Smokey,
Sounds like your a line cook?
I am an old style short order cook, My chicken fried steak is, a thin cut steak, pounded or cubed and battered, Then deep fried golden brown. A country gravy with black pepper. side of mashed potato’s.

I didn’t see it mentioned anywhere, but the best fries are Poutine (not a company, a style – brought to you by the French.. Canadians. ;) )

-Jor

Belgians are those who refuse to be called French even though they speak it.

then she is saying “in predominantly French speaking parts of Europe”?

YAY for world peace… I’m all about that kind of stuff, you know meh! :D

It is amazing. We have been eating and talking for many years and somehow we forget there things in the mouth that we still bite. Like the tongue, lips, and cheaks.

because you could get hurt falling off a higher cloud :lol:

I don’t see the strategy in this.
Bring back TP, or I go on strike! No more commenting… I MEAN IT.
Last word request until TP will be back up: “ double cross “.

WENDY’S absolutely has the best fries of any fast food chain.

Actually I got a spiral slicer and a Fry Daddy for christmas and together they make better fries than ANY chain.

yes

oops replied to the wrong one but yes she is

we are ALL teachers pet

Awesome lesson Marina =)
Hehe the Swedish name for French Fries is…. Pommes Frites, the real name :O

Hehe, and I loveall sort of Pommes, no mather whos made them really, as long as they arn’t overboiled hehehe.

Best Wishes, Ath, Your friendly naighbourhood mainiac.

yea… bring TP back or else!

I had some Poutine a couple of days ago & “mm mm” good, but I didn’t know what to drink, to wash the guilt away. Canadian Club what else…

Back when Pearl Harbor was
bombed, Americans had bon fires
and burned many things Japanese.
Kinda like giving blood after 911.
People need a healthy outlet for
these feelings and shared events
like those are expressions of unity.
I thought we were in REAL trouble
when I saw Clint Eastwood during
one of the 911 programs! We’re
not used to seeing Hollywood stars
show any backbone in supporting
our country like they always did
in the old days. Bunch of preeners
these days. Remember when
Richard Gere pissed off the NYFD’s?
He really stunk up the place…

The best french fries? Wow!
My homemade’s are the best.
There’s a trick to doing it right.
Wendy’s are not bad for the
fast food variety. Dairy Queen
and Steak & Shake are also
quite edible. The best fries I
ever ate at a restaraunt had
to be the Columbia Steakhouse
in Lexington, Kentucky. hands down.
5 stars x 2 XoxO
ciao

If you look at the background,
and some of the other lessons,
you’ll see this one was prestaged
quite some time back. As such,
she likely did not name a TA
because this gives her flexibility
deciding which lesson to air.

Try to be a little more patient
if you can. It’s not anything
against anybody, ok?

double cross, double down,
double back, double trouble,
Marina and her sister could
sell gum and double your
pleasure…. :mrgreen:

Those look tasty! :mrgreen:
I’ve had chilli fries but
that doesn’t look like
chilli. What’s on ‘em?

I just ate and you’re still
making me hungry! :mrgreen:

I still think a meet Marina at Blujan Inn, It would be a good thing for Marina and the Diner. Say like 10am to 2pm Brunch? Try just dropping a word on the site a day or two before. Testing the response.
Might only be CaptJack and James, but you’ll have a nice lunch and talk.
There is not a lot of parking on that street anyhow. :?:

BK passes the “next day” test.
Guess it’s the flame broiling…

Chicken fried in peanut oil is
“out of this world” it’s so good…

I thought she just did that once
a week, not EVERY lesson… :mrgreen:

Yeah, it sucks when people don’t support going to war on a lie, doesn’t it? You were right to rename them, “Freedom Fries.” That really showed those Frenchies, didn’t it?

But if you really wanted to make a statement, you should just have sent back the Statue of Liberty. Then they would have been sorry!

Do Micky D burgers still look
more blue than brown? :roll:
Always wondered about that….

Marina, McDonald’s used to have great fries until they stopped presoaking them in beef broth to give them some flavor. Seems that presoaking also added a few calories and that’s a no no these days. Personally I like the curly fries you can buy in bulk at Sam’s if I don’t have time to make them from scratch. Of course the Russian way of turning potatoes into Vodka is good too. :grin:

Gravy and cheese curds, of course!

-Jor

Hi Marina,
I just signed up and am a huge fan. The word I wanted to request is one I hear all the time on the street, in school and in movies. The word is ” yo “. Where does it come from, and it mean something else besides trying to catch someones attention. :???:
Thanks

$6G’s in 1998 with only 233 Mhz
and 1 GB hard drive!? Dinosaur!

and when you say someone is “ate up”,
is “nine up” one better or one worse?

Found this to be enlightening.
http://www.worldwidewords.org/qa/qa-spe3.htm

Should we send her a Teddy Bear?
LMAO! :mrgreen:

One further trick is to cook them until they
begin to brown ever so slightly, then remove
them to cool down – even put ‘em in the fridge.
Once cool, fry ‘em up until they are golden.
I find they’re more thoroughly cooked and
tender inside doing this trick. :mrgreen:

Hello Marina.
I just signed up here and I’m a big fan of yours. :smile: I would like to request a word, and it would be so cool if it got through to you. I would like to go with the guy below me. Could you investigate the word “yo”? Where does it come from and does it have any other meaning than getting attention?
Please? Thank you so Much.

-Mitch

Don’t eat the Marina…or you will become ….well, just don’t eat them. :)

Glad to see your Koala bear back in place. :smile:

Do they make Jack Daniels’ jeans :?: :lol:

:mrgreen: :mrgreen: :twisted:

ok – first and most obvious, you are not American
and knew no one who died at ground zero in NY
on 9/11 just for showing up for work… and I doubt
you were alive for Pearl Harbor ( I wasn’t) so you
may have no learned historic reference.

Insofar as “freedom fries” – I could care less,
that was an impotent way of flipping off France
for having shown more support for the terrorists
than for their “allies”. A fair weather friend is no
friend at all.

I guess if terrorists had blown up the Statue of Liberty
we would be having a much different conversation,
more in agreeement than it appears we are now.

got your back on this one, “to announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong. is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is moral treasonable to the american public.” its embarrassing to think that as a civilized society our first response is to destroy things when we experience destruction and loss. what example do we provide to the rest of the world? to loose our humanity leaves us with nothing worth fighting for.

oops, quote by theodore roosevelt, yo theo!

Nice rant! Liked the cajun touch
and the aussie bits.

The second part of your comment was kinda funny. But the first part you hit it head on.
How can you convince another country to go to war on a farce that you really don’t have true intelligence other than they are cruel to their people. :???:

I was going to study OB-GYN as
a premed in college. Started talking
to practicing physicians and quickly
changed majors. One thing was I
heard was funny. Seems that a
woman’s privates are like snowflakes;
no two are exactly alike. :mrgreen:
If I had to spend my days tending
to the sickness and disease, way
beyond the usual yeast infection,
I’d lose my enthusiasm for the
“small furry animal”. :twisted:

Heard by people standing on floors
of tall building when a worker fell:
“so far, so good. so far so good….” :mrgreen:

She bumped the format today.
No predicting it. Your video is
very good, by the way.

I noticed that, too :mrgreen:
Just like the cake, She is
merely posing, not actually
tasting. :smile:

I’m down for that! And
also; how did “yo yo”
go from being a toy
to “yo”, an attention getting
expression akin to
saying “here” or “present”?

“YO, Adrian” – Rocky Balboa :mrgreen:

heyy! i want to know where the word Mimic came from
thank you!!

Hello beautiful Marina,

I would like to request information about the origin of the word PLACEBO.

Many Thanks
Kermat46

Belgium made best french fries in the world and McDonald french fries taste good

wtf is going on???????????

Haarg,
[ Yeah, it sucks when people don't support going to war on a lie, ]

Well you please define, LIE?
So many people have no idea what this word really means.

hello marina…..how are things??? well i would like to request a word for you….”picnic” any idea?

gracias preciosa!

Homework: Bratkartoffeln

Marina – did you know you made it onto the top 100 Google trends hot list yesterday? What was that about? I’d love to update my article about you which is getting lots of page views and, hopefully, linking right back to you :)

P.S. My son said you were super on O’Reilly. So cute, he caught it and Tivo-ed it for me :)

Marina,

I have another phrase that I would like you to investigate. Where does “To wear your heart on your sleeve” come from? Why a sleeve? Why not just on the outside?

Hope you can help me out. :smile:
Thanks!

Where did the phrase “what the hell” come from?

isst gut! :mrgreen:

What the HELL?????????????

Kangaroo??

Puleez, rhetoric is no substitute for
reason, even from Jefferson.
And spewing the word “lie” without
any substance or facts supporting
such a statement, is deplorable!

Do you know what number?

Great Website! May I suggest a few words?

Apparatchik. Cheeky. Rose (flower). Wench. Borscht.

reason, yes that is exactly what is required from a civilized society as it responds to any conflict instead of burning the effigies of our enemies.

Well, “America’s favorite french fries” are McDonald’s. But, I know from friends that they actually add MEAT FLAVORING to their french fries and supposedly that’s why they taste better than other places. Me personally, I prefer Spangles french fries.

It was really high for awhile and I was going to write an article about you but I didn’t know you’d just been on O’Reilly. What was interesting was that your name and hot for words.com came up and related terms and searches were Playboy’s Fresh Faces so I did a quick search to see if you were connected to that and found nothing. Then there were separate hot trends for the words “codswallop” and “blooters”. If you let me know ahead of time, I might be able to get an article out there about any of the latest news about you. Hold on, I’m going to go find out how high up you were the other day ;) if I can.

It was somewhere between July 27 and July 30. On July 30, Codswallop was number 20 on Trends and I know you were at least in the top 68 and I think at one point you were number 1 :) I am still trying to find the exact time of day but I’m pretty sure it was evening. It is great to make it into the top 100!

My dad makes excellent homemade fries :smile: .

I found it! It took a lot of research so I hope I get an A grade for today:
Here is a link which shows you were at number 68 at 5 pm on July 31. Does that make sense or do you know why that would be? Anyway, here is the info and your name and site are definitely noted so people were searching for you, yay!
http://www.google.com/trends/hottrends?q=hot+for+words&date=2008-7-31&sa=X

Just a word of warning! While the news stories are usually safe to click on, be very careful about clicking on any blog posts. Some are okay but some are horrible sites that will try to hack your computer. So be careful about that! Please!

I have eaten fried potatoes in Holland on the Zider Sea. They were pretty good but they are served with mayo. But I must admit that the best “french fries” that I have eaten were found in Paris as served with entrecote (sp) a thinly cut steak with a nice brown sauce. When I visited Belgium I don’t remember eating fried potatoes. The Germans also serve good fried potatoes. Houston’s a chain of restaurants in the US also makes good french fries. Their secret is thinly cut potatoes.

Senior

I agree with you Buzz.

They sound and look good. Does the cheese melt over them?

:grin:

My first computer had a 20 meg hard drive 2 megs of ram and was a 386. It was a Packard Bell. You talk about slow compared to todays computers.

Hey mw and some of my friends were talkin and we were wondering why do sum people call cocaine “blow” can you help me out?

Also i was watching Eurotrip last nite and Vinny Jones plays an English football fan sumtime in the movie he calls this guy a “tosser” do u no wat it means?

Difference between
TA “Teachers Assistant” currently, Capt. Jack, actually gets to help out & assist teacher (Honourable position).
TP “Teachers Pet” a little more random, maybe even chosen out of pity. Certainly not a position of trust & in my case, my friends and family laughed at me, but the video is still up on my Favs. And I’m happy for the mention in a Hotforwords video, but i’ve been around a while so everone else be patient, Kobe is the real pet anyways.
Capt. Jack says the Teacher pet thing is on its way back.

I just ate a whole bunch of french fries, and I’d love to know where the word ” F L A T U L E N C E ” came from.

Jeez… let Marina change it up & have creative control over her own stuff. My son uses this on me when I complain STOP WHINING

Typicaly ballparks have good fries too, how’s the fries in Chicago? Do they taste better when your team is winning, or losing? Fries are like comfort food. Cubbies had trouble tonight with the new guy from the Pirates.

win or lose the fries at Wrigley tastes great especially with 2 jumbo dogs and a pepsi. Yep today was frustrating. The cubs hit into 4 twin killers today. I think that would b sorry if anybody does not the fries.

Marina, How did “pooped or “pooped out” come to mean tired or exhausted :???:

Hey Marina– I’m wondering how the expression ‘smitten’ came about as an expression for being really interested in someone. Doesn’t smitten mean you have been smited (as in agonize, anguish, curse, excruciate)??? How could such a ‘cute’ expression of love and affection come from such a powerful evil word?

or just a Teddy? :twisted:

Exhausted

and is Seven-up a retard? :lol:

These persons should be executed merciless !
:mrgreen:

FLATULENTIA in Latin means INFLATION WITH GAZ :mrgreen:

The root is FL- “blow” like in English BL- in BLOW
FL- Latin = BL- Indoeuropean

The word is Latin : EGO PUGNO = I FIGHT
PUGNATIOUS means “fighting until success”.

Nothing. I make it up as I go Along..

It’s easy for you… You are in america..

Chacha

There’s blood on the rubber baby buggy bumpers.
also, bugs black blood

I can do them both

hi Marina- Brand new to your website and I love it already. Don’t know if you take requests from “the new guy” but here goes. I was playing a board game the other dy and was wondering where the title came from. It was Monopoly. I know Mono means 1, but where does poly come from. Thanks

This is next http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUJC3qnVU2M

TMJ???? I HAVE THAT!!! I crack it all the time but have eased off now.. Think it clearing

I think Rally’s makes the best french fries.

McD fries contain no potatoes they are just flour and other bits.. Also “milkshakes” are officially “thickshakes” due to them containing no milk whatsoever. They are actually 70% pork fat, ever had your straw clogged?

Source: Teacher went on food training course, found out there.

it’s not that Billy, your bringing me out of strike just to say this:
creative control my foot, sir! :D She said it will be back up shortly. I’m only trying to understand why she gave it the boot in the first place. It’s not that I want to BE TP, I really don’t care… I did however liked the outfits! :D
Isn’t that something worth fighting for?! :P

Their apple pies don’t have any apples in them. They are potatoes flavored like apples because it is cheaper to do so. I got this info from a person who worked for them.

HEY! I was wondering if you could explain the origins of the word “Savvy” and the phrase “Oopsie-Daisy”..
Thank you verry much (in advance)! :mrgreen:

Hi Marina

I have a requests I live in Nottingham UK (Land of Robin Hood) I would really like to know why the local people from Nottingham refer to people as “Duck”.Has it got anything to do with the Goose Fair?Which is one of the biggest and oldest fairs in Europe.

Ps if you run with this i think you would look great dressed as Robin Hood :idea:

Try your friends out on those, for a laugh :mrgreen:

Here’s one. Which word has the most double letters in it? eg. skIIng, leTTer, spOOn….

Just accepted your invite @ YT
You’ve got a fanclub, now! :mrgreen:

Hi Marina,

Not sure whether this one would be allowed on your show.However, it is a common term used among men in the UK.

It seems if something is really good and recommended it is referred to as “The Dog’s Boll*cks” :oops: .(replace the * with O).Does it go back to the days when Dog Fighting was common and the strongest dog being recommended?Hope I haven’t offended anyone nevertheless,I am so curious.

I love your show and I have always been fascinated by where these words come from.

Thanks again.

Those Ed Hardy shirts are freaking expensive, I saw them at a store today and they were all 70+ euro’s , There was one shirt that was kinda nice so asked how much it was and the guy said 100 euro’s LOL rip off !

Right now I am working on a big project like the amy winehouse video I made. Its family guy libbing a remix reggae song.. Type in spongebob soulja boy on YT. It’s like that

I stumbled across this, it has some useful
sayings at the bottom of the words list

BTW, Gyes, Ihave no idea why you call those things HAMBURGERS
or SANDWICHES (!!!!that is my request for a word !!!!) here in exUSSR countries we call such a things by German word ButterBreuted (spelling Bouterbroud)
Marina would you explaine me why is it so ?

balloon?

My wop friend came over and we drank rum and ate french fries. rhum

I was wondering if you could do the word “Yahoo”

There is no answer to that question but I expect that you want us to say “You”.

The French were in shock & stunned about the missed opportunities & failed diplomacy leading-up to this second Iraqi war. Did they want it to happen? No. Did they try and stop it? Yes. But, remember right before it started they said give them two more weeks and they’d join us. Now, what were they going to do with those two weeks? Try to put a halt on it, of course, and we said no we wouldn’t wait. Then they were on the ‘outs’ with the U.S. and they felt like they had really blown it diplomatically. This wasn’t that long ago (not ancient history) why can’t people better remember?

What about waiting
on someone
“hand and foot”?

tooth. tongue or jaw
the look said
“will there be more pain?”

Just the differences in local name brands
provide an array of variety. In Cincinnati,
they have Charles’s Chips, Husman’s,

Good question :mrgreen:

zider sea? you mean zuider zee, also known as “ijselmeer” :mrgreen:

Didn’t Reese do something like
that on an episode of Malcolm

Ever spend any time at the library?

o4n, you can’t be serious. this is ridiculous. you might want to read up that.

err … read up on that.

Hey you were great on O’Reilly. They should give you a regular segment.

This is where “Hamburger” may come from” :mrgreen:

In Sweden we just call them “Strips” (obviously derived from “Stripes”, which is what they look like). Anyways, I’d like to see Marina’s explanation for “Fuzzy”. that’s a funny word

Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear,
Fuzzy Wuzzy had no hair!
Fuzzy Wuzzy wasn’t
very fuzzy was he?

Sorry – old limerick :mrgreen:

Being from Belgium I must say that our fries are the best ;-)
We have a ‘frituur’ at almost every other street corner, where you can buy a packet of fries and other fried things. And yes, we usually eat them with mayonnaise :)
Anyway, I propose we just call them fries.

Hey a strike with no tears… I quess I can step in as a negotiator. I understand your plight, and it’s a serious issue to be sure :roll:
But it wasn’t that long ago that HFW videos were a little more sporatic, maybe 2 or 3 a week. Now I get Marina in my mailbox every day… sometimes appearing in various states of enthusiasm, always lovely & interesting. Could the virtual world be any better :?: maybe, .
Glad I could bring you out of your strike, even happier if it was a hunger strike… now eat your fries or there’s no dessert for you

That’s true :P, you can’t go to belgium withouth seeing a so called “snackbar” or “frituur” I think they have even more than here in the Netherlands, but I don’t like belgian mayonnaise , to much vinegar.

btw Michael, do you speak dutch or french?

Someone just posted on my cheesecake video that there was an error in the title

This is what I called it

Handsfree: Strawberry Cheesecake

DUH!! I used my hands!!!

hotforwords is the only place where you get the strawberries before the fries. :???:

Bob.
Is she hiding the cameras?

you probably never get any letters from people when you live there…

Maybe Julia Child made fries fried in whisky or something! Didn’t she always get drunk on her shows?
“You take 3 parts flower, 1 part water, and 2 parts brandy… you mix the flower and the water and while mixing that, drink the brandy!”

smokey36bear, tell us why it’s called chicken fried steak… is it that it’s fried the way one would fry a chicken?

I know cameras are getting smaller all the time but there’s nowhere to hide them in that teddy.

With an address name like that, who needs any more letters? :roll:

Thanks for the pointers! Still trying to decipher that Google trends.. I’ll look at it some more!

Maybe it should be called ” Kentucky fried steak” or even “pennsyltucky fried steak.”

When the cheese melts into the hot fries & gravy… what a magnificent mess., & no fork allowed :?: Found no Jack Daniels jeans, seems the company prefers the direct approach to advertise.

Hi, foxbow, what is the correct way (if any) to pronounce ijselmeer? :?:

I can say that. :shock:

Since I have focussed on here and YT compared to before subscribers and friend invites have gone through the roof

I found a new word today.. I want it tattooed.. Zygocacti

The myth exposed :roll:

:shock: Well Ok?
Funny……..That is so not the best part of a woman. If all you look for from your mate is a hole to ejaculate, that is all you will end up with.
A Hole like the kind where you dump all your hopes and happiness in.
The thing I found when I was younger and dating, a lot of Beautiful Women have ugly souls.

Like with a high performance car, Buy one with a few miles on her and you can have the same thing a lot cheaper. :wink: There is that new car smell that is hard to beat.

smokey36bear, tell us why it’s called chicken fried steak… is it that it’s fried the way one would fry a chicken?

Yes, We fry everything like chicken.
Candy bars
Twinkies
pie……..anything and everything.

“If all you look for from your mate is …” etc.
Not quite sure where you’re coming
from with that one. :roll:

All I was saying is that OB/GYN was
a profession I looked at undertaking,
only to discover that there is another
aspect to it that is undesirable.

Hey can you look up the term cajun. I’ve always wanted to know why they call people from like Louisiana cajun.

Hello marina.
My name is Sérgio and I’ve got one new word for your vocabulary. Have you watched the latest Hulk movie? Right at the beginning of it we can see the expression “Rocinha Favela”.
“Favela” is slum, or shanty town, in Portuguese. During the 1890s, in Rio de Janeiro, there was a very poor neighbourhood there called “Morro da Favela”- Favela Hill. “Favela” is the name of a typical weed in Brazil. Therefore, all the houses there were ill-built and badly assisted by the government. And that is what we still have today: huge poor neighbourhoods in all our big cities.
P.S: The word favela is now part of the Oxford University.

nice one! :mrgreen:

Hi Marina.
This is Sérgio again.
About your class on spoonerism, I’ve got one sentence that you gonna like: “It is kisstomary to cuss the bride” (“customary to kiss”).
Bye

Interesting on the timing. :idea:

In terms of typical fast food chains, McDonald’s.

When I was at studying at the Rochester Institute of Technology, Jay’s Diner has the best fries. I look for the crispiness on the outside and the chewy warmth on the inside of the fries.

Come to think of it, seafood restaurants tend to have some good fries.

Hello Marina! I thought a good word for your research would be Buck as in the slang for a dollar and how it is used in the phrase ‘passing the buck’ I believe the term started during the old west in the United States

[this is what fishermen call "bait"] :mrgreen:

13 more spots before you reach #24 at utube Miss M.

That’s a good one to do. It could be Yahoo like in the search engine or he’s a yahoo. I second the motion. :wink:

They must be blind James :lol: :lol:

Woo Hoo! I also second the motion :mrgreen:

i do believe the events between the u.s. and french government was a little more complicated than that. i guess it depends on the various media outlets you were using o4n. you might want to check the transcripts or documented exchanges between government officials at the time. sometimes our memory isn’t all that reliable. i haven’t been able to find anything that substantiates your recollection.

:lol: my New vid is up. Don’t think its very good though

todays #24 has 40,000 hits.. Views. Perhaps it might be a while. Need to sabotage all the rubbish/anime in the way :twisted:

Hit Shappins… not too worried about it… it happens more than you can imagine.

Chacha,
Are you learning the Russian Language so that when Russia owns the US you will be able to talk to your Masters??
Or just to impress Marina?
Learn Spanish, easier.

People like that are such sock cutters

How can someone still your views?

Ok never mind. I see the big picture. :???:

You just gave the guy even more views by posting it here… :wink:

Really?
The guy is not so much stealing as he is piggy backing on Marinas fame.
He might even be helping Her by bring new people to Her.
The more command her name becomes, the more it’s worth to advertisers. SO spread Her Name..

Hit-S……….Common

Hi James,
Marina could flag the video as a copyright infringement. You could flag it as spam. On the other hand, people that find that guy’s video, could be people that have never seen HFW videos which means that HFW might actually gain new subscribers.

By the way, not to pick on you, but your Fork video uses tags referring to HFW, which may or may detract from HFW video views. Just some thoughts….

I see Captain Jack is still at sea. He’s aboard the Kokopelli. Maybe he’ll be back soon to resume his job as door greeter. :mrgreen:

Lets all go do a spamming war on this guy for stealing from Marina. :twisted:

He’s even got a comment that someone has called him a spammer.

Hey, im requesting the words/phrase “Pitch Black” Why is it called that???

I thought about learning Russian

Did you post on my comment and channel.. Or just one.. Beacuse it showed up on both… :?:

I did it on both so I would make sure you got my 5 star comment. :wink:

Thanks Mike. Simply at me the impression of ignoring of my questions was made. I shall look forward to hearing!

Oh… This is an RRR activity :cry: .

You know the last thing she is going to do is ignore a fellow countryman. :wink:

ZDOROVO, MISHA! Sooo i think we can already communicate in Russian,can’t we? :cool:

I’d like to see James trying to put pitch onto a pitched roof using a pitch fork. :lol: Do you think he would be open to a sales pitch for a shovel?

Being half French i can certainly make boast of our ”FRIES” and our kisses..actually i do do not know whether we have the best fries but i’m sure that we have the best kisses…i think that,,,maybe nobody disagrees :razz:

Hello Marina! I married a young, and beautiful Ukrainian woman, and we are in the process of learning one an other’s languages. Occasionally she says, “Yalkey palkey!” What does this actually mean? Where did the expression come from? Thanks in advance, Will

Soon I am still learning. Like you said the different letter meanings are hard to learn. I will get there I hope. :smile:

Of corse you can’t tell how bad the food is when you are drunk…
Hell even 4j’s (little chain of dinners in Montana) is good after the bars close.

JK nothing against Julia.

And that! Marina that Russian:) the Sense to communicate here in English?)))

Was 26 now 29 :mad:

It helps to comment in English. Her site has friends from all over the world and different dialects. Everyone does the best they can to comment. But if English is hard for you then use your natural language. Marina understands this and will answer back. It doesn’t matter if we understand you as long as she can. Superdanilchik will help you all that he can. Just talk to him some. He has been a big help to me. :smile:

How about the movie Pitch Black with Vin Diesel. :cool:

im requesting the word “tickle” or “tickled pink” please do it, thanks!

I was going to order a t-shirt from the Time Bandit fishing vessel the same people that Captain Jack taught a class to. The t-shirt was $60:00. Just for t-shirt with their logo on it. Sorry no way to high. Rip off is right:???:

You know ??
Marina could use a new live plant silk plant for her room.
The stick plant is looking very sad. That could be the perfect gift.
Go to the shopping site on her web page and have one shipped to her?? :idea:

what about french kissing?

Silk, however is not real.. I have an aloe vera

Ещё раз привет всем из России )))

That shariatuber that keeps posting on yt… I know I shouldn’t talk about youtube.. But I sent him a message saying every time i see a comment from him on hfw im going to email it back to him

Dear Marina,

I’m back and caught up with your latest vids. Good job Marina, esp. with the O’reilly show.

Hi everybody! I’m not sure how you all have time to watch vids and post during the week….I can only really make time during the weekends!

Some of you must be retired….hold on while I try to control my envy :mrgreen: OK………. :grin:

Don’t have any new word requests…still waiting on Cold Turkey and Testify to be answered.

OH…..and my favorite way to eat potatoes……….is called PAPITAS CON HUEVOS………….it is fried potatoes with eggs and I put a little hot sauce and cheese on top….so good!!
:smile:

You are welcome my friend. :grin:

Ohhhh…..good request kyrotho!! Do you mean to ask why kissing with full open mouth and tongue contact is called French Kissing?

Maybe the french invented kissing like that? Maybe Marina should look into that for us? But please don’t show us an example of it Marina :eek:

I’m sure the guys would love that, though! :wink:

This. On account it sounds rubbish

when i’m in the mood, i make the best french fries…
commercially, Zaxby’s, which most won’t know, does a nice mesquite-style; i also used to like Backyard Burgers’, but they folded here…

however, if only i knew French – go at least this dame française attirante…

annudder :cool:

video is at 25… Urm everyone else.. go to sleep or something comeback in about 3 hours. Nothing will happen

Миша, я посмотрел видео , ссылку на которую дала Маша, слово “DUH” имеет совсем другой смысл нежели слово “D’oh” , жду от неё объяснений.

That’s exactly what i’m gonna do, except i’m gonna be back in like 12 hours:P got an important match tomorrow morning :P kinda late allready :lol:

Good luck on getting first :P

g’d night people

hehehe 1 down 700 to go

Video is more 23 but not showing

Why is french kiss called a french kiss?

Wendy’s has the best fries, if they hot and cooked long enough so that they aren’t soggy. Go Dave!

they’re

Not to get off subject, but it’s raining here. Is it just me or does anyone else love the smell in the air just before, during, and after a good rain fall. Thunder storms are even better.

the best fries are from any small mom and pop restaurants. They’re thick and crunchy and taste like real potatoes, not like McDonald’s. The worst fries, sadly, are from In and Out Burger. They’re always soggy and have no taste. Gross!

Marina could you indulge us the knowledge of the origin of “I cross my heart.” As in making a solemn promise to someone. Is it religious? I would very much like to know where we got this. Thank you!!

It’s 1 am I have to sleep

Therefore I am declaring the first space on the next video for myself, the only people granted immunity are : Marina&Foxbow15

The first comment shall be property of myself.

I don’t own this website… Get used to it :roll: :razz:

Yeah! Chips are chips and not “french fries”. And crisps aren’t chips either.

Mississippi?

Nothing like a fact to ruin your day…

:arrow: buzz; absolutely right about recollections & I may have over-stated for the sake of brevity. It was never that easy for the French & they wanted more time for inspections etc. & then were willing to sign a new U.N. resolution that didn’t equate to automatically using force. the ’10′ day two week proposal was real. France was a part of the 1st Iraqi war, of course, and also participated in the bombing in 1993 as punishment for the attempted assassination plot of George Bush, Sr. and the lack of Iraqi compliance in the ceasefire terms…So, none of this was as cut and dry as anyone makes it out to be. A month and a half before ‘we’ rolled into Iraq the French were in line to join…

My vote is for In-N-Out Burger’s Fries. They must have some kind of a drug in them because they are addictive!

Of the fast food places, McDonald’s fries are the best.

Hi Marina, hi all !

i especially like this lesson, cause that’s what i keep saying ALL the time …
my homework ;

the germans make the the best pommes. they eat it with every meal…

Dear teacher,
Thank you so much ! Yes french fries are not french they are belgian ! Merci au nom de toute la nation française ! Thank you from all the french people ! There is a big difference between France and Belgium! They have a king we have a president, every body speak french in France, half Belgium speak another language! They eat french fries all the time and we prefer “pot au feu” or “osso buco” or “boeuf bourguignon” etc…. so this is not the same country ! These are not the same traditions !

Winghouse (Ker’s Winghouse) has the best fries. serve them up with
a dip of Jalapeno cheese and it’s better than candy !!!

Of course, in France, they are typically just referred to as frites. The whole freedom fries movement was stupid. France has a president? I didn’t know that. I just thought that Carla Bruni was in charge. When you say la nation française, you mean that hexagon thingy, right? Whatever. I’m off to the Paris Las Vegas to grab a burger and fries…. Il y a des gauchos dans les parages ? Faut aller chercher un peu…

Do you hope to die?

La côte d’Azur. Sounds like a Nice place to visit someday.

Even the cattle are romantic in France. They just love dishing out a slurpy langue de boeuf.

I wanted to watch this, but it buffered forever.

I’m catching up on videos since AK-47 (a couple of June vids, all of July, and half of August!) because of the time demands of teaching and being a student. It takes time to catch up, especially if you want to read some of the comments and perhaps add one or two.

I’ve had lots of French kisses. I can’t disagree with you.

Parts of this I simply do not understand. The rest is beyond me.

I love the Chronicles of Riddick, and Vin Diesel really wants to make a sequel. He needs to hurry before Judi Dench gets much older. She’ll be 74 this coming December 9th.

I love zee French kisses, and she loves zee escargot…..

Oh, donfelipegonzales, I’m just an Ozark hillbilly living in Las Vegas. Mais j’ai étudié le français pendant bien des années, et j’ai même reçu la maÃŽtrise en littérature française à l’Université d’Arizona en 1978. J’ai passé un peu de temps en France, mais pas récemment. Je t’ai déjà écrit à l’occasion de petits messages dans lesquels je t’ai indiqué que j’ai une connaissance assez profonde de la langue française. Bien sur, je fais semblant des fois de l’ignorer, mais c’est purement pour le plaisir de me permettre de plaisanter un peu. Et voilà ! :wink:

I think…
I’m sure that you make the Best French Fries
;D

best french fries…hhhmmmm…..haven’t been to McD’s or Burger King for ages but a place in Henley I go to occasionally is pretty good at French Fries. In ozz, they call crisps chips like we brits call french fries chips. Vistied France recently, tried some snails and frog legs, with fries…bloody awful if not gross. Now I’m feeling chipper again :smile:

Five Guys Burgers
makes the best fries.

Belgium huh?
I always thought the first French Fries were made in greece.
;)

Don’t ever tell a Belgian that French fries are French. Us Belgians are abnormally sensitive about the topic. :razz:

MOM

Lmfao. Love the stuff she puts in ” Bon Jur” And gorby running at the end :D

I’m of Belgian descent… I knew that one! I did not know that it started in 1918 after the Great War, though. My favorite French Fries come from Culver’s Resturant (a chain of Fast food stores in the upper-mid-west). Thank you.

tough one…
althought dont eat much fries.
did you know potatoes are originally peruvian?
and started eating them by accident in europe?
do you know how?

So that means French toast isn’t as [romantic] as I thought? Darn that means I’m not so sexy with a [loaf] of bread in my teeth …

The ones your eating are Belgium fries (they are thick) The French fries are very thin something like halve the width of a Belgium fries.

The Belgium fries are the best.

[...] – French Fries saved by tamerand2009-08-02 – French Fries saved by Joeypwnsjoo2009-07-31 – Columbus 1 – O New [...]

The [Walloons], inhabitants of Wallonia, the southern, French-speaking half of Belgium…Belgian historian Jo Gerard recounts that potatoes were fried in 1680 in the [Spanish Netherlands], in the area of “the Meuse valley between Dinant and Liège, Belgium.

Etymology

Oven baked fries :arrow: :cool: Etymology—The phrase means potatoes fried in the French sense of the verb “to cook”, which can mean either sautéing or deep-grease frying. While its French origin, frire, unambiguously means deep-frying, frites being its past participle is used with a plural feminine substantive, as in pommes de terre frites (“deep-fried potatoes”).

…The potato is a starchy, tuberous crop from the perennial Solanum tuberosum of the Solanaceae family (also known as the nightshades). …ps~ hard on the joints :???:
