Miley

.

Muhaaah!!!

And I was right!

wow…how did anyone beat me to this…..

Nah ,i’m not a miley fan :S :???:

I am not a fan of Miley Cyrus, although I am jealous of her seven figure a week salary.

I liked the old “investegates” theme thingy more…

Nicely Done HotForWords. :grin:
Fresh graphics! :cool:
Fresh sounds! :grin:
Nice dress! :shock:

But where’s Kobe? :?:

dang, got distracted from work. stupid work.

Hummm :!: :!:
Wonder what Marina’s nickname is :oops: :oops: :razz: :razz: :cool: :cool:

Great video today!

Word Request: :arrow: Subscribe :!: – to write below or to permanently attend to viewing?!

Sis Tah Woooord’s :lol:
Can you help :?: :razz: :grin:

Miley Cyrus the little girl.?
She is only the dancing doll of the Monster Corporation that is Miley Cyrus.
I feel bad for the little girl. Her own father sold her to the devil.
The Devil is in the details?? That is a good one for the teacher?

I have a word request for you
What is the Origin of the Word Puppet?
.

And here this whole time I thought Miley was the americanized version of the famous European teen singer Kilometery.

wow

not that its bad or something it just doesn’t realy fit,more something for a nature show or something :lol:

Uhh… yeah… that is what the video is about….Miley Cyrus, the little girl.

…and there is no devil. :grin:

I want to mention that I’m back from holiday and I’m happy to receive your videos again, as a forthnight ago I could not download anything from your webside.

popular culture— http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=b8e2CTB9oeQ

i wana ask about FREAK

I wouldn’t say I’m a fan but it hard to be against the little girl, she’s doing her thing. Of course, if I were much younger I might say that she is too commercial & I like garage better (which I do)–but just watch she might wind-up giving more than she ever takes…

??Are you Sure ??

Marina
Who or what is a Roadie?
Destiny Hope………sounds more like an Urban Girl’s band name.
Think Mr Achy Breaky Heart had a plain for his daughter? .

….that looks more like heaven to me!

We may not doubt that society in heaven consists mainly of undesirable persons.
- Mark Twain’s Notebook

I am not a fan of hers. I think she is headed in the wrong direction in life. :neutral:

Miley was the name of a male character in a popular Irish TV show ‘Glenroe’, during the ’80′s and ’90′s, can’t remember if it was short for Miles.

The kid needs to learn how to use GOOGLE. I’m not a fan of hers and neither is our daughter. Miley also has a half brother, Trace, who is touring with his band and starting to get some notice. Daughter saw him n concert, said he’s really good. Their dad hasn’t done anything important musically since his hit “Achey Breaky Heart” back when he had a mullet. Looks like Billy Ray is pimping his kids out on the music circuit since his career fizzled.

Wow that was a fresh new look Marina! :mrgreen: I like the new format. I wonder if it will still retain the current demographics. Where did you find the new effects?

A fan of miley cyrus? Marina you make me laugh :-)

They were cool, a different touch to add to the start of the videos. :cool:

Marina, id like to know the origin of the words Son and Daughter if u could do that id be really thankful :grin:

I like that one video picture that hits you in the face when I looked at you You Tube site. WOW :grin:

Miss M are the text turned on for the smiley faces? I know what they mean by now but someone new may not. :smile:

Miey C? No :cry:
Mila J? Si! :smile:
http://www.millaj.com/

I have a question for you. Why are people from the Philippines called Filipinos? Why PH and F?

Thanks

Yes yes Mila J. :twisted:

Ok dictionary, what are demographics :lol:

Q: What do you a drummer in a three-piece suit?

A: The defendant

I give the name of Devil to the actions of One
seeking their gains at the cost of an other.
The Devil lives in all of us.

I’m just learning how to use stuff… plus I tried to make it appealing to the younger audience that will be watching this video.

Roadie is Miley’s dog.

:?:

Not a fan of hers. Saw her sho once because it had Montana in the title and silly me thought it would be about Montana. I just never heard about her till about six months ago.

BTW I agree with the captain I like the new format. Keep up the over and beyond excellent work :smile: :grin: :mrgreen:

You did a great job!!!! Keep it up Miss Marina :grin:

I would like to request the word, and I’m not sure it’s spelled right: Aequeosalinocalcalinosataseoaluninosoqupreovitreolic. It is a real word I swear! It was the third longest word in a book of records in 2003. Please investigate this word and put it on YouTube. Thanks!

I couldn’t agree more. I’m not a fan, but I don’t want to see her going down the same path as the Olson twins or Lindsay Lohan.

Are you going to make it appealing for the Old Crotchety Fans …..too :lol:

Have another drummer joke?
ok

Q: What is the difference between and chiropodist and a drummer?

A: A chiropodist bucks up your feet.

well, since you did a name request

i’d like to know how “benji” became a shortened version of Benjamin

I actually prefer the name Benji over my real name Benjamin

Q: What do you (call) a drummer in a three-piece suit?

I guess Marina’s just phoning them in, now. WTF

He did do a duet with his daughter. I listened to it at work (they like country a lot there). To me it sounded like a love song. Kind of weird when you think about it, I mean it is a Father/Daughter love song.

Sorry Captain, Its a common word in my former career in retail marketing. Now days you have to be born with the meaning of that word in your head in order to compete with today’s marketing strategies.

Demographics: The characteristics of human populations and population segments, especially when used to identify consumer markets: The demographics of the Southwest indicate a growing population of older consumers.
Typically speaking that HFW built most of its popularly from from males constantly searching for eye candy. Its like food, everyone has to eat. Men need eye candy among other things I don’t need to get into. My guess there is about 98% of the students fit that demographic. Put me in the video with a tank top on and a beer in the other I would hope to retain maybe 1% of that demographic. But a whole new demographic would be created to those where interested in seeing me in a wife beater tank tank top. Now im creaping myself out on that analogy. :roll:

I thought you may have gotten a Cat.
That is a good name for a dog that lives on the road. :lol:

I would like to know the origin of the word SUBSCRIBE… :?: :?: :?:

Q: You are locked in a room with Osama Bin Laden,
Kim Jong Ill and a drummer and you only have two bullets. What do you do?

A: Shoot the drummer twice, just to be sure

Hello Marina..

I come from slovakia so both we are SLAVS :) thats nice but i would like to know the origin meaning of word PAPRIKA…thank you very much. Michal

I presume the humor I will have to post towards a G-rating?
.
.
How about that word (Humor or sometimes humour) ?
Seems to not dissect into anything else. Is it a borrowed
foreign word or something?

BTW – Great to be back. New computer! To have relevance to
the repair lesson, with a back-to-school sale it was just much more
sensible to buy ($400.00) !!

Q: How many drummers does it take to wallpaper a room?

A: Three, if you slice them thin enough

I have watched her show on tv Saturday mornings, and was somewhat entertained, however i wouldn’t call myself a fan, as i haven’t looked or searched for any information out about her or her life circumstances. I haven’t even hardly turned on the tv since i started studying philology here with Marina.

I had that typed out to say too. but I changed my mind. I didn’t want to jinx the poor young lady. :smile:

Like oil companies.

Are you saying that Miley’s ad and the Miley video where planned ..ahead of time. No way…? :shock:

:idea: wheres the word Mounira come fromt :idea:

Is that all your going to say today. ” . ” :lol:

Ok cha cha that one went over my head~~~~~zooom :lol:

hi my name is jaret and i never really understood the meaning of it so can you please tell me what it means or its origin

Just be careful about trying to be appealing to a broader demographic. One size fits all approach doesn’t normal fit all. Many have tried and failed. The few who succeeded, owned the market. I think it would be great if you could combine sponge bob and square pants with sex in the city. But historically that has failed many times. You might look into two separate pages or sites. Or just find a middle ground (mental age wise) and stick to it. This is just my humble opinion. Don’t let me tell you can’t fly. You have proven that many times over. Im still shocked that a philologist could become this popular. :mrgreen:

:?: What do you have against drummers :?:

I’m not one, but I was just wondering

@ Jack, it’s the tender heart she has for people and especially for children :wink:

Okay I have a name reqest: Darold (yes it is spelled right)
I worked with a guy with this name and he didn’t even know where it came from.

Wow, this is a hard one….ummm…. Nope, I never heard of Miley Cyrus before today. I’ll have to say I’m not a fan then, huh? So it goes.

The new graphics are nice and fresh though; I like it! Don’t stop doin’ what you’re doin,’ Marina.

I used to be play the drums in a band, but we sucked so we didn’t last long. :sad:

I doubt if he has anything against drummers. He’s just taking advantage of the glut of drummer jokes out there, as drummers are for some reason mocked most among musicians.

Personally, I’ve never gotten being down on drummers. A good drummer is essential to a successful band or good recording. Imagine The Beatles without Ringo, Led Zeppelin without John Bonham, or The Who without Keith Moon. There is nothing quite like a great drummer.

Exxon Mobil paid $10.5 billion in income taxes ( last quarter.) The Bastards :lol: :lol:

i like to keep things as minimalist as possible, mike. and it doesn’t get much more minimalist than that, does it?

I see ‘em on my XP unit. Not sure whether they pop up on my Mac right now but they did last time I was on it.

I can see the smileys, but not the text that goes along with them when you hover your mouse over them. BAAAAAA :lol:

I have not heard any of Miley’s music, and I still get confused when it comes to whomever the hell Hannah Montana is. Throw Hilary Duff in the mix and I get really confused.

But I did become a fan of hers in an odd way. A couple months back, I was taking coffee with a musician friend of mine when I bumped into another musician friend of mine who happens to be producing and songwriting with Miley (If any of you happen to be a fan of a band called American Hi Fi, it is a couple guys from that band that are now part of Miley’s production team). From what I heard, Miley is a very sweet girl who is a pleasure to work with in the studio. I still haven’t heard any of her music, but I am a big fan of anybody who is successful in music and doesn’t let it change them for the worse. Really, my friend was practically glowing at how incredibly cool and fun it was to work with her, and that is saying a lot. How a recording artist treats their team says a lot about them, so kudos to Miley Cyrus.
:grin:

Can you please tell me the meaning of the name Felicia. Thanks so much :razz:

Maybe on Marina’s next FOXnews appearance, she can talk Bill O’Reilly into changing his name to Miley O’Reilly. :lol: It’d be a great tool for indoctrinating future young Republicans. :razz:

Here’s a preview of tomorrows lesson?

reply to Captjack
I’m still shocked that a philologist could become this popular. :?:
,
An ordinary philologist is not.
A world class Beauty
who is also a philologist
and a marketing genus… is.

The graphics at time 0:10 and 0:24 are not up tho the same quality of the other graphics. Change. Maybe transparent.
The other’s are outstanding and fresh.
Time 0:40 graphics are great but give it a 3 month lifetime and change again.
Time 2:14 graphic has run it’s course. Time to refresh as well.
The lighting is still off. Yellowish. Add some color.
Also maybe a closer and lower camera angle.
Your face is only 30-40% of the vertical space.Try 70%.
Likewise it’s only 25% of the horizontal space.
You also need something present to the left and right even when no graphics are present. The changing plant and pillow aren’t it.
The sound effects could be turned down just a hair, distracting.
It’s about you and what you have to say, not so much what you can do with graphics.
Overal still very nice and freshened.

Ringo didn’t play on there first LP they used a studio guy. Ringo is the sixth Beatle. First drummer was Pete Best (he didn’t fit in right) can’t remember who #2 was but he didn’t fit in either.
Don’t get me wrong I’m a Beatles fan.

“there are two types of people in this world. Elvis people and Beatles people. You can like both, but not equally.” -Uma Therman in ‘Pulp Fiction’

Dear Marina, What a nice video response! With a new “investigates” graphic, too! To answer your homework, I’ve watched Miley Cyrus, also known as “Hannah Montana” on TV once, and saw that it is wholesome entertainment for young girls. You girls need this kind of role model, instead of Madonna, Paris, or worse. Miley is a very popular person. (I still like you better!)

Forget those people who ask for all sorts of words, but never do your homework! There should be a rule that only the ones who do homework may request Words!

Many people reveal their character (or lack of it) by the comments, word requests, and profanity they put on these boards. I hope they don’t hurt you. You also reveal your character in your videos from the way you speak, move, dress, and all the ways you reveal yourself, so I can say you have a very, very good character, and we are all very lucky to see you so often. Your dear student, SeesixCM6

Maybe the Spanish version (Felipe) of Phillip has something to do with it. Just a guess, though.

They only called in a session guy for ‘Love Me Do’.
I’m a huge Beatles fan, and one who worked as an engineer on Sean Lennon’s last album.

I understand your point, but I sincerely do not count Stu Sutcliffe or Pete Best as anything more than historical footnotes. There were only four Beatles: John , Paul, George, and Ringo. If there were a fifth Beatle, it’d be George Martin. If there were a sixth Beatle, it would be the Abbey Road technical staff. :smile:

Smart alec. I think it’s great that Marina is appealing to the younger members of our student body here.

As for Strawberry Shortcake (the vid you link to), don’t even get me started on the rather obscene sexual act of the same name. You don’t want to know… and not appropriate for the kiddie crowd.

:mrgreen:

But , you might be right. :sad:

Hi dear teacher can you tell me whats my name means ? My name is Einer that only thing I know that it is from Germany thanks …I have looked in good about it and I couldnt find anything thanks

That’s another way of saying that there is no Devil, and that we are all simply human beings.

Don’t forget Eric Clapton also played on a track or two.
My son knew the names of John, Paul, George, and Ringo before he was five. I taught him well :grin:

You didn’t enjoy that? :grin:

Sorry, don’t know the sexual reference,
some kind of kiddie soft prOn for the
younger members?
here’s my point

hello my dear teacher, can you find out what the word “sex” means? :oops: i have always wondered what it meant

Marina I know this sounds like a dumb question, but if go over to your utube site and watch the videos there and tick a star will it boost your ratings so your videos will top out faster and get to number 24?

I believe this is what he’s trying to say, don’t know why though. chiropodist=1914, formed from Gk. pod-, stem of pous “foot” (see foot) + iatreia “healing,” from iatros “physician.” An attempt to supplant chiropody, chiropodist (the latter from 1785) and distance the practice from the popular impression of unskilled corn-cutters. The National Association of Chiropodists changed its name to American Podiatry Association 1958.

drummer=pariah Look up pariah at Dictionary.com
1613, from Port. paria or directly from Tamil paraiyar, pl. of paraiyan “drummer” (at festivals, the hereditary duty of members of the largest of the lower castes of southern India), from parai “large festival drum.” Especially numerous at Madras, where its members supplied most of the domestics in European service. Applied by Hindus and Europeans to members of any low Hindu caste and even to outcastes. Extended meaning “social outcast” is first attested 1819.

Excellent observation, C6.

Hey Marina can u find out the origin of the word…
Tetris?
i think its related to russian. thank you :P

I believe I know the origin of the phrase “the whole 9 yards,” but I would like you to confirm what I believe is correct. I do not, however, know the origin nor the understanding of the phrase, “86 it.” Any clue on that? My screen name is pronounced Mac User, fwiw.

I loved that game

comment 101

Dear Marina and fellow students,

Of late, it’s been difficult to participate with all the constant putdowns and hating that goes on here. There are people here who make it their daily habit to target, bait, and harass others, employ what clearly amounts to political hatespeak here on a regular basis, taunt their fellow students, fabricate false accusations, seek to belittle and threaten others, deride anyone with dissimilar education levels or philosophies, and otherwise seek to undermine the spirit of the word-play.

The world is a big place with a lot of very different cultural influences and viewpoints in it, and there are plenty of other blogs to investigate that focus on specific interests and viewpoints. Since this site isn’t just for Americans only, or men only, or Southern Californians only, or Republicans only, or Guitar players only, or solipsists only, or xenophobes only, there is NEVER any call to insult others, push their buttons, draw attention to their perceived inadequacies or pick at their wounds. It’s a real shame that the overparticipation of the few must result in the underparticipation of the true. Too bad. We all lose.

So my advice to those who also feel that this is a problem: don’t respond to those who are just trying to piss you off. Silence is their worst enemy. To them, satisfaction requires getting a rise out of others and they will eventually go elsewhere when they’re ignored. Bottom line: be nice. Strive to be helpful, teach by example, and exercise patience with your fellow students.

Peace.

Yes Capman911.. if my videos get a high rating that puts the video on the top rated page and helps it get to the most viewed pages faster.

Right now my video is the #100 top rated video ( http://www.youtube.com/browse?t=t&p=5&s=tr&c=0&l= ). A few months back the top rated was more powerful in getting the video to the most viewed page.. but then someone at YouTube decided to make the top navigation alphabetical and top rated ended up all the way to the right where not as many people click on it as used to.

The result is lower quality videos on the most viewed page… but yes.. every little bit helps! So thanks for asking!

Marina

In the restaurant biz. 86 means to take off the menu. It also means to clean up/detail an item. I don’t know why 86 is the number nor do I know where the term ‘the back 40′ means when talking about something that is a long distance away. Like when I worked as a box boy in high school I helped people out with their groceries they say that they’re parked in the back 40.

all I see are the Miley faces

I just watched ‘Semi-Pro’ and there is a moto in there I think we should adopt. That moto is ‘Everybody Love Everybody’

Yes, Smoke, I’m aware “86 it” means to discard, toss, eliminate/remove, but WHY 86 and not 4 or 172 or 85? :-D You understand, I’m sure. Marina may be of help if (when) she investigates.

I know a lot of us just visit here and wait for the video to load. So we never go to the utube site. So If Captain Jack could suggest everyone to go to the Utube site and watch the videos and then come back here and watch the video again it would add a few more votes. I know this is a lot of going back and forth but if it helps. Or just some way to get everyone to got to utube. I don’t know if you can leagally ask us to do that or not with the different companies you do busines with. Just a thought or suggestion.

:lol:

Hello Marina,

Please accept this request to discover the origin of the phrase:

Full of Vim and Vinegar

What is this vim? Where did vim come from? Does vim come from a plant or where? And why would anyone ever want to be full of vim? Plus vinegar? It doesn’t make sense, eh?

Thank you for all your hard work. I am an outdoor writer, and I enjoy words very much. So your lessons are very fascinating to me.

You are a gifted educator. Very rare. Thank you for sharing.

- Russ

:wink: excellent way of saying the truth

I once had a goldfish named “MIley” but she ran off and joined a rock band and left me holding the bowl.

I dont like Miley Cyrus very much and Ill bet once she becomes 18 shes going to make bad decisions that will make her fans like her less. I also dont think that she is too great of a singer.

What is errin talking about KB. I have never heard of what errin has mentioned. If a child was to click on Cha Chas link I don’t think they would associate it with anything wrong. I googled strawberry shortcake and all I found was the doll and childs stuff. I am confused over this. :???:

no.

Now they are working on my vista machine but not my xp machine.. I think we need to go back to pen and paper. :grin: A little slower on the commenting but no blue screens :lol:

um… thats supposed to be, “vim and vigor” your confusing it with “piss and vinegar”.

Listening…Very good
Talking…OK, briefly
Lively discussion…good
Expressing veiwpoints…good
Personal attacks…bad
Taking something said, personally…worse.
I hope I’m not a (an) xenophobe… you do scare me deadman.

G. I could see the smilly faces but couldn’t get the text to work that was attached to them when you hover your mouse over them. Like I told PT9 they work on my vista machine, but not my xp machine. I have to use the xp machine while my wife lives on the vista machine until she goes back to school next week.Yea :wink:

Well, then maybe it could be the first lesson (at least I have not watched other lessons) having two similar phrases ‘vim and vigor’ and ‘piss and vinegar’ discussed together.

I know what it used to be, but I am not going to tell :twisted:

Ps it’s not bad so don’t take offence anyone. :smile:

yeah, that could be interesting. say, you may know the answer to this. do unbarbed hooks catch as many fish as barbed hooks?

My son was telling me about people hunting with long thin nives that look kinda like an epee. They would just hop on he pig and stab it like a toredor does a bull but ridding the pig. Have you heard anything like this.? He said Gander Mt even sells the swords or special nives for boar hunting.

I found a reference to Strawberry Shortcake in the Urbane dictionary online. Errin was right, it’s a little known reference to a sexual practise one engages in during a menstrual cycle. How did she know all about this?
I just thought it was a kid’s show with no relevant content, much as HFW has become since recess. Just like drummer jokes, they keep coming long after you lose interest, but at least they’re funny!

Q: What’s the difference between a high school drum team and shoes in the dryer?

A: Nothing

Silence ? on a web site , Advertisers want to see a lot of people talking and reading. Your passive aggressive way you manipulate people is quit good.
You’re a master even down to ” peace ” at the end, Top rate, first class all the way . Mostly you are right, being mean and thoughtless should be addressed by all here when it happens and not just swiped under the rug. and I never said I could play Guitar :neutral:

piece :lol:
ps the goat jab was very cleave, really I laughed :lol:

that one was funny :lol:

“Strive to be helpful, teach by example, and exercise patience with your fellow students.”

Good luck! here’s a couple by the Kinks. says it better than I can

Where have all the good times gone?
(with the lyrics for non-American viewers)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8A6UScT6Ks

Tired of waiting

Youtube works in mysterious ways.
But I’m in.

I am not a Miley fan. I do think she is a good singer. I do like the song ,“Ready Set Don’t Go” she does with her dad, Billy Ray.

I not only heard of it I have seen it. The tactic I saw was the hunter stood against a tree on a well used path, and when the boar finally came by he stuck the knife in it’s chest and pulled out very quickly and then just went motionless. The pig jumped and spun around looking for the attacker but couldn’t make him out because of the perfect camo he was wearing. The pig just stood there for a moment then started eating grass for about 30 seconds then just keeled over dead as a doornail.

Please accept this request to discover the origin of the phrase:

Schondra

It’s also my name.
I want to know where it came from.
All I know is its a small town in Germany(Thats how I got the name)

ein-er
ein is equivalent to the number 1, or the letter “a” used as a word
the diminutive suffix “er” is a feminine dative case application.
this does not connotate the word as femine, only it’s usage
depending upon the dative case (past perfect formal tense).
It coukd be interpretted that your name means “a oner”,
or one of a kind.

I think chacha is suggesting that HotForWords is becoming like a Disney channel. Errin took offence.

I had to google Errin’s sex stuff. I had never heard of it.

I think they should be just as good.

Miley fan? I didn’t know who she was until you mentioned her. I watched one video and she appears to be the next Britney Spears replacement investment for the record labels. Listening to the music, it sounds like it has been washed a few times.

I assume you mean this one:

I actually had 3 grey tigers at different times,all could fetch pretty well,Berkley,Roadie,and,Tyko.

Kudos again Professor! And as always,looking good n hotforwords.

It was invented by a Russian back in 1985. Alexey Pazhitnov created Tetris on an Electronica 60 at the Moscow Academy of Science’s Computer Center. It is ported to the IBM PC by Vadim Gerasimov and starts spreading around Moscow. Pazhitnov gets a small degree of fame for his program. The stories go on because of many leagal battles, which I will not get into here. You can google it if you want.

That is, I will rate Marina’s videos on YouTube.

ie Marina is altering the demographic to attract the 6-8 year old mindset.
This will attract more pervs to her site and shutdown meaningful participation by the rest of us. I’m reduced to drummer jokes, the content is so bad these days.

Q: What does it mean when a drummer is in your bed gasping for breath and calling your name?

A: You didn’t hold the pillow down long enough.

hello captain jack miley no way a fan but go to YouTube and see her dad sing some gave all billy ray did a good job on that one

Could you please do the origin of the word

Thank you!

Oops, I just noticed it was taken as Coco-Cola.
Could you do the origin of the word “KITTEN”?

Hi Mike,

Hope all is well in Fayetteville this day. Hey I heard you might have lost one of your goats. I corraled it and tied it up to your front fence for ya, so no problem, dude.

Peace.

I named my gray tiger-striped cat Lizard, and she fit the part perfectly. She had the exact coloration of a Western Fence Lizard, was an expert at catching bugs, and loved to chew them slowly. In fact, bugs were her favorite food.

Uh, could you explain exactly how I was “trying to fire up the Capman again” based upon the above message? I never “fired him up” in the first place. I wonder who did?

Read it again. Mike’s my friend and I wanted to let him know I was thinking about him. I read that he was threatening to leave and I kind of like having him around.

Maybe, he’s momma couldns’t spall sa good :roll:

Dear Miss Marina,
Just wondering where the phrase ‘Till the cows come home’ came from. Did it have anything to do with cattle drives.

This not the place for this.
I gave you my email so this would stop on Marinas site OK?
Love to do this to nausea on my dime.

Its becoming like Google is now. The algorithms are become more sophisticated the only way to beat them is just to have fantastic content. Its the old saying “Content is King” and it will always be. Also do what Apple Inc. does. Give the people what they want and they will make you great. The problem is, what do they want? Some want knowledge and some want to be entrained and even some want both. It’s a hard order to fill. Sometime what one has to do is some sort of shock and awe.

Nausea is accurate. Thanks anyway though. I won’t need your email.

I thought of this today, and wondered if you could do this like you did “spam”

For as long as I can remember, my friends and I in many games have made the joke “The hamsters are tired” or “Sounds like they need to buy new hamsters” when a server is lagging or is broken, suggesting that the processors are hamsters running like crazy in exercise wheels.While it’s not as widely known as “spam” is, I think it’s pretty common since I can go into a game and I’ll hear the joke even if none of my friends play it yet.

Thanks.

Hey. ^^

I would really like to know the meaning of the term ‘I beg your pardon!’

and I would also like to know if the saying is supposed to end with a question mark or an exclamation point.

Thanks. ^^

Thats funny… Miley O’Reilly

Yeah, Miley Cyrus is “Hannah Montana” the biggest show for children (especially girls) on Disney Channel right now. I’m not a fan of her, but I hear about her all the time. Surprised you haven’t.

Since you seem to be logofascinated I would love to know where the word originated from. I’m sure you hear it a lot, but you rock!

What with the fighting in Georgia :cry: near the Caucasus mountains and the proximity of the political conventions in which Obama won many “caucuses” I have been wondering whether the name of the mountains and the name of the process by which party members vote for one candidate or the other are related. :?:

How old are you wetsuit5? just curious…
I’ll argue against the 70% face, at least most of the time.. the hand jestures & body language are part of the show (lesson), besides shopping for nice outfits for the vids might become unnecessary. Also too close makes makeup too obvious & cutting off the top of the head is a pet peeve of mine. Hey, has “pet peeve” been investigated? What is a “peeve” in the wild like, & do wild peeves make good pets?

LOL! Cool!

My Sons stepdad has the nickname “Lizard”,not cause He eats bugs tho,leastways not that I ever heard of ,I think He got it from The Doors/Morrisons song “Lizard King”.Been a while since I heard that tune I guess.

Kinda sad cats don’t live longer,they are prime targets for A-Holes in cars and the occasional mean-ass old lady with a box of poison.

I’d like to know about pet peevs as well.
If I ever get another pet I think I’ll name him ‘Peev’

yeah … i want to request a word please. the word is Sharpshooter … I have an idea of where it comes from .. but im not entirely sure. Thank you :D

Oh hey by the way no need to use the plural form of solipsist-[s] by definition can only be one of it. :lol:

Do you like to use xenophobe in your arguments too?
Is it a good word to paint someone in to a corner,
like….” you don’t hate people not like you….do you? ”
” Do you still beat your wife ” It’s great subterfuge and use of gilt all in one word. :lol:

and .. you post a comment again … would it be possible to teach you a word ?? .. lol

I rest my case.

pt9 – There are very few people who are almost always worth reading, you are one of them.  I often get a charge out of seeing that you’ve posted and find much of what you write thoughtful–and since your stuff is fairly consistant you must be good a faking it– L. Over-participation trampling the underparticipated is exactly it. I personally am for more Socrates and less hemlock. Focus on the good and the rest will, more or less, fade.

the word i would like to request is hockey
i’ve always wondered why the sport was called hockey
i know in europe hockey means the sport on grass (or field hockey in north america)
and in north america (where i’m from) hockey means ice hockey as they say in europe

but why hockey???

thank you!!!

Copy that. Thanks, OK4N.

Buzzy don’t forget about barb-less hooks ….too.
Joking aside barbed hooks help less proficient anglers
keep the fish from spitting out the hook when the line goes slack.
Keeping a twat line is crucial but is tough to do and so barbs just helps.

We had a cat named “House” once. The landlady remarked, “Oh, how clever, “House Cat.” We failed to tell her it was actually “Cat House.”

Miss Hotforwords, what is the origin of the word “jackpot”?

Hey is it true that Eskimo’s (Inuit’s) have more than one word for ‘SNOW’?
If so what are they?

Mmmmm…Hamburger.

Hello! Miss Hotforwords! The word i would like to request is the word “cupcake”. I am also a new member to this website :P

Thanks, Halfolo

You are so wrong Melika!!! Here’s the real preview of tomorrows lesson? :razz: :razz: :razz: :razz: :razz: :razz:

Hum I wonder if it has anything to do with my name? If I sit in a flower pot that make me a jack-n-the-pot? :mrgreen:

Welcome to the site. I hope you enjoy the experience here. You can learn alot from everybody.

I would like to know the origin of the phrase “can of corn”. It is used when there is a fly ball (in baseball) and it will be easy for the fielder to catch.

And yet it goes on.
I was just trying to compliment you on your statement above, It is very good “ we are the world ” type rhetoric. You even got congrats for your speech. I even teared up for a second and I wanted to donate to the save the something or stop the someone what ever feel good thing-gy.org group.
Then I realized it is just a sugary attack on me and others you disagree with. But I am just a poor old misunderstood sarcastic bastard that uses too many words you don’t understand and so then you think I must be trying to insult you. ( Fear that what we do not understand?) Next time you think I am being mean, just ask me what do you mean by that old guy?? I will gladly turn on the light and show you there is no monster in the closet. OK??
Really this should be @ my email not here.

Начала слова KGB ???? :arrow: :cool:

Hi Smokey,

They have lots of words for snow because in their world, many different forms of snow exist. Look at it this way: in our language, we have a lot of words for the dirt on the ground outside: soil, topsoil, loam, sandy loam, clay, mud, silt, loess, podzol, hardpan, gravel, sand, humus, scree,quicksand, loose dust, turf, and many more. It isn’t just dirt. We often need to qualify it with a description because we must farm in it, build with it (make bricks, etc.), build on it, drill through it, tunnel in it, live on it, and often have to move it around. So we have different names for different types of it in order to describe its various attributes in as few words as possible.

Similarly, we also have lots of different names for snow: sleet, slush, crusty snow, powder, wet snow, dry “crunchy” snow, firn, snow flurries, blizzards, white-outs, snow drifts, “corn snow,” packed powder, cornices, glaciers, snowballs, avalanches, and probably many other forms of the simple word, “snow” which escape me right now. But the Inuit LIVE in the snow most of the time, and have done so for thousands of years just like we live on the ground (dirt) most of the time. They need a word for snow that’s falling now and another for snow on the ground already. Words for giant flakes falling thickly and others for tiny flakes falling far apart. Can you make an igloo out of loose, fresh, dry, powdery snow? No, it has to be able to be cut into blocks and retain its shape well, so it must be well-frozen into place and packed down first. So to do it right, you’d need snow that’s been in place for awhile and is also deep enough to have the necessary size for the blocks you want to cut. This kind of snow has a different name than the snow you can’t build with, etc. Do you need snowshoes to keep from sinking in too deep or falling through the crust? Different terms describe these conditions exactly and in only a word. If they didn’t distinguish between all the various kinds, it would make descriptions of conditions take a lot longer and be subject to a lot more misinterpretation. So they have a word for every kind.

Surprised? One has to understand my type of life style to understand why I haven’t heard of her.

Cool thanks for the info :grin:

I have seen this request before and I too would like to know the origin of ‘Toast’ as in “I propose a toast.”
Ooo and is there a connection between that and when someone who is inebriated we say they are ‘toasted’?

Are you sure it not just your k-nick name for the roadrunrnch :lol:

I once knew a kid who thought he was a flower pot because he was round and had a hole in the bottom.

I just can says that TOSTUS in latin means “dried” and this Latin Participle gave the French TÔT “early” because “early time is when the sun dries the earth”.
To the same root belong TORREFACTIO, TORRIDUS, TERRA…

FELICIA is a feminin name taken from Latin FELIX “happy”.
But… FELIX etymologically means “fed by the mother’s milk” with this FE- root MARINA spoke about in one of her videos.

Thank you for the info, but what does that have to do with my question?

SUB = UNDER in Latin + SCRIBERE = WRITE

As I have long suspected, it seems stokesjrj1 is a lot more intelligent than most people are prepared to give him credit for.
Most of what he says goes way over most people’s heads, so they think he’s crazy.
Some of it even goes over my head – OK, I’m arrogant, but I have reason to be. :roll: :lol:

I remember seeing an interview with The Beatles, in which the journalist asked some question and followed it up with, “After all, Ringo isn’t the best drummer in the world, is he?”
One of the others, I think it was John Lennon, then said, “Ringo isn’t even the best drummer in The Beatles!”

I refuse to be drawn into commenting …
Damn! I just did. :roll:

or a loner?

I couldn’t agree more with your speech, PT9, or with the others above who applauded you.
However, roadrunrnch responded negatively, and you resisted the opportunity to ignore him.
Practise what you preach, mate. :smile:

Unlikely, there’s a word for that. This might be like calling someone “Ace”, ala Ace Fraley from Kiss, or like Jet Li “The One”.
Interpretation is the tricky part going from German to English.
There are quite a few phrases for which word-for-word translation doesn’t fully convey the intended meaning.

I had heard of Smiley Iris only by seeing her name pop up so many times on the YouTube most-viewed page, but, until Marina asked, I had never felt tempted to click on any of those videos. Having done so, I don’t feel tempted to repeat the exercise.

I have a request which is a bit similar to the inflammable versus flammable video. The word “indefatigable”.
I believe it means to be tireless or to have an everlasting enthusiasm.
But it seems to mean “unable to not become tired” ?

Hey Capman911,
I always watch her show on YouTube first for that reason. Then I visit this site and read all of the comments since it seems that there are so many experts from various fields here that it’s a great bank of/for knowledge. I just wish that I had more time during the week. I always have to wait for my weekend which is (right now) Tues. and Wed. .

Good one. I see that there is a condescending tone from many here. And most of it comes from disagreeing with a comment. The reader feels they need to make a snide comment in return. I enjoy most of the comments that have a varied viewpoint form my own since that is how I learn. I admire those whom, even though they feel attacked continue to participate. It seems that many feel that they have the right to express themselves and others do not. I’ve never understood this. Arguing a point is helpful but to aggravate is pointless.

Ditch the disco sound effects, I want to hear you, not the sounds of a kiddie play center!

Hello Marina,
I’ve heard of Miley and her father but never listened to either of them.
I just bought a used Oxford English Dictionary last night ($75 plus tax). It came with a magnifiying glass since the print is miniature. Now when I have time I’ll read up after your lesson.
Thank you

Marina, Marina, MMMMMmmmmm!!! Marina!! I hope you’re having a wonderful day!! My word request is: ergonomic, a word that advertisers of seats and ball point pens like to use to describe the effort put into making their product comfortable for the human body. And does an ergonomic product REALLY benefit the body?
I first heard this word when I was working for The Sharper Image back in 1990. I couldn’t even find the word in the dictionary back then. Is this a somewhat new word or had it been around for at least a century?
Marina what kinds of ergonomic items do you have in that little apartment of yours :oops: ?

mmmmmmMMMMMWAH!!

Oh, and the first word I’m going to look up is- gullible.
Right Bob? :wink:

hi,

ein basically refers to a single unit of something, mostly without specifying which one exactly is meant. it means any, some, one.

ein- can be used as an indirect article:
da steht ein haus — there is a house.
the suffix -er (regarding articles, adjectives, and pronouns) is an inflectional ending, used for grammatical / inflectional purposes. articles in german inflect with the noun they belong to, they don’t inflect just like that. it is not a diminutive suffix, diminutive suffixes in german are -lein and -chen.
-er is also a plural marker:
kind[sing] ‘child’ — kinder[plur] ‘children’.

ein- is sometimes used for emphasis:
dieses eine haus — this very house
in this case it behaves more like an adjective.[1]

however, it is also used as a stand-alone pronoun, and i think this is more likely what you’re looking for. it means something like, somebody, one.
the german title of the movie “one flew over the cuckoo’s nest” is “einer flog über das kuckucksnest”.

hope that helps.

[1]
i need to say adjective because there can’t be two articles preceding a noun:
* this a house.
* the this house.
so, there can’t be an article between an article and a noun. but this is where adjectives can be put in. a distinct feature of adjectives is that they inflect in attributive position, which is true for ein- when used in the sense just mentioned.

PEANUT BUTTER WHY DID THE CALL IN PEANUT BUTTER ?

I won’t need your email.

i loved that one.

Bob , that brought back some memories, I bought her “China Girl ” Album years ago… doesn’t bring the “goose bumps” for me, but I loved her vision for bringing new style to older music.
This gives me goose bumps though… I know most young guy’s won’t “get it”.
In my senior year at highschool, while almost everybody was buying Les Zepplin or Fleetwood Mac, a small group of us were getting into Bach. Virgil Fox had a knack for knowing how Bach thought, I think he thought a little of Bach’s soul inhabited his body. A real showman in his day.
BTW loved Vanesa Mae’s Toccata & Fuque.

Hey,

I saw that you did phrases too, so I was wondering if you would look up the phrase to “Break the ice”. I have no idea where it comes from, and would like to know! :grin: Also, do you watch the olympics?

Enjoy, your day!

I not a fan of miley but it was ok , hotforwords where does the tangos come from by the means of a soldier taget

$75 + for a used book… it had better be in there.
That phrase looks bad, “it had better be in there”… never thought about it before, I say it no problem, wrote it & it doesn’t make sense.(tenses) ah… brain fart.

you like apocalyptica, too?

Don’t give me none of your tone crap, put your feelings in a bag, tie it off, swing it around over your head seven times, let it go & hit the wall. Pick up the bag & if your feelings are still moving, do it again until they aren’t…OK. Now you may talk to me. Cheers
PS an inmate walking down the stairs is condescending.

Oh sorry I rhought you were a blockhead :razz:

Hey BillyB,
Your note was fine- I find myself talking like that all of the time.
The music that you, Bob and aLx chose is great- thanks to all three of you for the links.

I may have listened to a few of her songs but she is sexy. Who would hate Miley Cyrus? At least she’s not like that slut Britney Spears.

I think errin is a he.

Hello aLx,
I saw this cartoon
(it’s not directed at you) and I thought that it was funny.

He Warren, nice to get your letter thanks. I am sorry you only have a limited time to be on here. As you said there is a wealth of knowledge from the members that come here. Don’t work to hard and stay cool and be sure to drink plenty of fluids cause of the heat. As my kidney doctor told me water,water, water.Talk to you later.
Mike

I didn’t doubt my son, but since your a boar hunter I figured you would know more about it. Thanks.

Hey this message goes to everyone!
I am not getting any “Recently Added” videos on my YouTube account and the only way I see the new videos is only via Marina’s main YouTube “site” or here.
Am I the only one with this problem??

Hey Marina,
I was wondering the origin of the word/country Russia!

Ha! You remembered? :lol:

I am a blockhead at times. A sensitive blockhead it seems. :wink:
But I have an excuse:

Ok I have figured you out. Your a “Jack” of all trades. :wink: :lol:

No, you’re not. I rarely get any advisories from YouTube and when they do come, they mention at least a week’s worth of videos.
Try subscribing to Marina’s RSS feed instead – click on the orange square with a white dot and two curved lines inside it. You should find it in your browser address bar. :smile:

Leonida Alberto Rizzo, when you go to YouTube.com you don’t see my videos on the homepage as recently added? Even though you are a subscriber to me there?

Thanks Mike.
Yes, I enjoy stopping by I’d really like to more often but I need to work. Water and not too much coffee is the way to go when you’re on the road.

Britany Spears? Lindsay Lohan? etc.
You mean you don’t lech around skankin’

Me either – course you knew that…
They don’t appeal to nor entertain my
tastes in life, or women. …and Miley?

What’s next? More little boys? Sheesh!
I don’t mean James, he’s an exceptional
young man – ahead of the curve.
Let’s hope when he gets back that
some sembalance of normalcy has
returned to HFW.
Marina should use the sister website
to bring back “intelligence is sexy”
if she’s going to continue the bizarre
“pseudo pop” trend she started here…
It’s just sitting there unused.

Yes Bob I remembered. I saw that prospero811 caught Capman911 with the same trick. You know what? I hate to admit this but I still didn’t catch on until Capman911 replied to prospero811. I kept thinking, “Why is this question even popping up?” DUH!

Huh? that’s a gender bender…
if it looks like a duck, and quacks,
it’s probably a duck. The comments
made all sound estrogen based,
including the politics, but you may be
right!

Glad you liked it, BillyB. I’ve got a couple of her CDs but I haven’t bought anything recently – I must catch up!
Vanessa is very talented, beautiful, vivacious, intelligent & articulate, and, like Marina, absolutely adorable.
Her music is eclectic, spanning many different genres, and is very energetic and rousing. Always good for a “pick-me-up”.

Virgil Fox! Oh, Hell yes! :mrgreen:
Saw him on a stage surrounded
by 88 loudspeakers – killer show! :grin:
Fugue, Tocatta in D – outstanding!

“a little out of my normal realm” please expound?

I would like to know the meaning Behind the Name “John”

Thanks for the Apocalyptica link, aLx. I haven’t heard of them before so I’ll definitely give them a listen.
I’ve got out of the habit of listening to music these days, so I’m well out of touch with what’s going on in the music world.

So who are the directed at?

Often it’s the simplest things which catch us out. :grin:

I thought he was referring to email notifications. Maybe I misunderstood.

What is the orgin of the word joe as in a cup of joe (coffee)?

Mine is the same way. They only come once a week and in a bundle. They don’t arrive as soon as you put them up a new video on utube. Thats why we stay mostly on your site because that’s were feedburner sends the email from is HotForWords site.

BillyB,

Don’t quite know were you’re going with that, but ‘tone’ is a major part of the English language. How can it be ignored or smashed against a wall? O.K., maybe just kill feelings, but that would be a personal choice on your end not a command, right?

:roll: :roll: :arrow: :arrow: to, hotforwords,… where does the word chocolate come from,. like hot chocolate :?: :roll:
from iwant2fourqmatt :lol:

clike HERE for the answer it is in here lessons

Anyone or any group of people will have multiple words for anything that is important. For better or worse, snow plays a big part in an Eskimo’s life. For someone near the beach or in a pool “swimming” doesn’t adequately cover all the strokes or other activities going on. To an Eskimo the distinction between wet snow and dry snow could be crucial if the plan for the day included building an igloo.

A landlubber might be impressed with any type of vessel afloat. CaptainJack and other salts might be amused or offended if their ship were refered to as a boat. On the other hand, submarine sailors are quick to correct you if you refer to a sub as a ship; even though it technically qualifies as one, they call it a boat.

Check out the previous lessons and you’ll find Marina has already answered your question.
Go to the top, left side of the page and click on ” Words/Lessons” under “Home” in the menu bars.
Enjoy. :smile:

The item in bold is all that we can check for downloads of new videos on utube.

Check this box to receive updates when your subscriptions upload new videos. You’ll receive an update once each week.

We occasionally send out newsletters with interviews, cool videos, and other items of interest. Check the box if you’d like to receive them.
Weekly Tube (general interest)

That is correct, when logged into YT, the section called Subscriptions on the Home page does not show any newly added videos. The other sections do show videos. (Recommended, Friend, Featured, etc)
Looks like a YT problem?

When I click on Account, then Subscriptions, then HotForWords, then I see all of the added videos.

no problem here. it works for me.

Dear Marina! I really would like to know the origin of the name talisa ( my name..^^), because in the internet there are lots of meanings but some of them seem to me like they are “invented” somehow…

pleaaase help =)

yours

talisa

LOL! OU812? :grin:

The parable in the Bible about the “talents” refers to a particular weight of gold, which represents intellect or mental ability. So many preachers used the term in the parable to represent abilities and skills that the word “talent” came to mean abilities and skills in the general parlance.

-Rocky Frisco

A store here in Tulsa that sells lighting fixtures and other electrical products named the business “enervations,” possibly by conflating “energy” and “innovations.” I guess they didn’t realize that “enervation” means a state of low energy or tiredness! http://www.hotforwords.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif

HEY I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST A WORD MY FIRST NAME ELIASIB. WHATS THE MEANING AND THE ORIGIN? thanx

I can’t do video but can you give me the origin of the word ELIASIB. Thanx, :smile:

Hi Marina,

I congratulate you to your new sound and video effects!!! I like them very much.

Kisses.

Hiya Marina!

Wonder if you could do a special on the etymology of the “Days of the Week.” It could be interestingly entertaining and insightful :!:

Thanks,
:mrgreen: SGOG :mrgreen:

Yeah Ha Ha Ha :lol: :lol:

Warren you need to put it at the top of the page and go trolling for a new gullible person. :lol:

My wife and I have hallway sex. F you no F you :lol: :lol:

Marina,

I was recently too embarrassed to admit that I didn’t know the meaning of a word. I was at a discussion on Shakespeare and from time to time people would throw out the word “codpiece” (I think that’s how it is spelled). The word would invevitably cause a chuckle or a giggle. I laughed and played along like I knew the meaning of the word. I can only guess. They were saying something about “wearing a codpiece.” I’m guessing is it like a jock strap? Anyway, I can look it up, but it will be way cooler if i learn about the word from you.

Warmly,
Your newest biggest fan,
Alberto1972

Miss M. I would like to request the word gullible.
Thanks,
Mike

Hi Albereto, Welcome to the site. I know the answer, but like you said it would be better if Marina did the entomology of the word. We have a lot of fun here and Marina does some excellent game videos that last two or three videos so we have to guess the answer or answers. Look around check out some of her earlier videos on her You Tube site. She has over 200 videos for you to look at, words she has done in the past. If you don’t know if she has done a word there is a lessons listing at the top of the page that will show you what lessons she has done. Good luck learning from our Teacher. :smile:
Mike

Two more slots and this video will be at #24. So everyone get ready with their F5 buttons. But don’t forget to go to You Tube to vote and watch the video too. The more we go over there the faster her videos move up the list. :smile:

Does Mr. 100,000,000 get to go on a date with Marina? :?: :lol: :cool:

Marina,

I keep hearing people use the word “deccelerate” to mean the opposite of accelerate. Is this even a word? The ‘ac’ in accelerate is not a prefix qualifying how something could positively ‘celerate’ so how does applying the prefix ‘de’ qualify as its opposite?

Misunderstandings :grin:
Not one time was anyone attacked by anyone here.
All of the fights here are do to A misunderstanding of A comment..@ FIRST!
Maybe just having the author explain the post before going to war over IT would save a lot of time?. Over something that was not even intended?? Think first! then think for a second!
Then type out your outrage and then delete it and if you still want to type it again then post it. Maybe on a site where words are discussed, learning to using them correctly would be a good lesson for the Teacher to give ???

piece :wink:

How about the word “jot”? Like you “jot down your name”

Wes

Also, the word “sex”. Everyone knows what it is, but why the word “sex”?

You are still going on about this?
Dude, check your calendar – it’s Wednesday!
Tell a joke or something… :mrgreen:

Privet Marina…

I was out picking my “kracnii pomidorii” yesterday when my neighbor began yelling at me. :shock: Apparently I’d undermined his plan to grow some “organic peace weed” by establishing my tomato patch near his fence line.

Surprisingly he began to refer to me as a “dog-gone cotton-picker”. At first, I almost retaliated with red-ripe tomato grenades. But, having a sense of self-control I decided to take the route of non-escalation and :idea: consult my favorite philologist before taking any steps that may escalate this border skirmish…

So…knowing you have an inquisitive mind…and that intellience is indeed sexy…would you investigate the following;

Why is the phrase “dog-gone” used as an expletive and why are the phrases “cotton-picker” or cotton-picking” used as a perjorative? It would be interesting to know the etymology of these phrases as well.

No pressure there. To have the entire WORLD watching ME make a fool out my self. OH Hell NO!…….and no thank you. :lol:
The guys that drive F1 cars make it look easy….TOO.
I’ll just leave her to the pros :roll:

Hey Warren! I use to work at Jack in the Crack. The restaurant manager was called Jack. So since I was called Junior sometime when my dad was around (My dad was Jack Sr.), I thought I would use it at Jack in the box. So yea two Jacks working at Jack in the box. It was nuts!!!! :shock: :shock:

I have the same problems too. Some times it works fine other times it doesn’t. Its a hit and miss with them……

Yea don’t care for little girls and their music. Why should I be?

Yes, James is in a different class. James has a greater mental age than his biological age.

Pseudo pop, yea I wonder what she is going with this? I’ll have to email her and find out.

Oh and my lifestyle is that I don’t watch TV. Its a hard thing to do but Its amazing how much your life changes when you stop watching crap on th e boob tube. I watch movies mostly. Oh and HFW lessons. :mrgreen:

:grin: I’m pretty good at that game. I played that game alot back when we still had a NES and got very high scores. I don’t remember how high the score or level, but I remember the endings with spaceshuttle, UFOs, rockets, and I think fireworks.
I think tetris comes from the word ‘tetra’, which means ’4′. Since all the pieces in the game uses 4 squares to make each shape.

sorry I am done :cool:

hiya i was wondering what is the meaning of bisexual and why is that the word for it???

Melika, You know I didn’t think about that. Also there is content blocking sites to keep children from visiting site like this. This might end up solving some issues only to open up new ones. This route might encourage very bad behavior and degrade HFW site. Some of us are not even mature enough to keep from flaming, how they expect them to behave around children? :neutral:

What gave you your first clue?

Im working on that goal for the reason of boredom. Im trying to do as much as I can before I kick the bucket. That way I can say “Yep I did it all! Next planet please!” :mrgreen:

Marina,

Can you please explain the origin of the word/phrase “peeping tom”?

Thanks,
P.S My username is wrong, it’s actually aalmuhannadi but I forgot to put in the ‘m’.

Very excellent advise RRR. I am glad I came back here one more time. You make good sense, this one I understand. :wink:

Marina,
I am going to a formal get together soon. I’m planning to wear my tuxedo, spats, and cummerbund. Please let me know the origin of these pieces of apparel, I’d just feel Intellectually naked without knowing.

Hi Marina, what is the origin of the word ‘crush’ as in being attracted to someone?

I do remember one thing from High School that a teacher told me. Wednesday came from All Wodens Day. Woden was an Angelo-Saxon God, Why this bit of info is still lingering around in this 48 year old head, I’ll never knoiw.

Oh man that hurts! Roflmao! Both you guys, now cut that out!

Stop that!
I like the gravatar, it reminds me that it’s you.

errin is a dude. same dude that went off on marina for having political ads. i think his original nick was errinf. anyway if i’m wrong errin can set me straight.

Nope, sorry Marina!
Unfortunately i don’t receive the recently added videos on the homepage!
Should i try to unsubscribe and re-subscribe????
Thank you!!!

Yup, that’s the only way i get them as well.
Oh well, guess i will just have to visit this sight more often…. not that i mind of course!

Yeah, I was just thinking that maybe Destiny Hope Cyrus should have legally changed her name to HANNAH MONTANA. :lol:

Ugh! I forgot that woman’s name, but I know it had something to do with a famous naked woman riding a horse back centuries ago. Lady… Gudievere??? or something, I don’t remember. :???:

“God I’ve a” terrible memory too. :roll:

I use to also work in Jack in the Box so many years ago, right before I had joined the army. I got the 2-year enlistment deal, plus the 4 months of training. And then a couple of additional months for medical hold status, because I was going through a stressful time. So that’s 2 1/2 years I’ve been in before honorably discharged.

Mom and Dad Cyrus have to keep a sharp eye on Miley. I do not cherish that responsibility to keep Miley safe and protected. After all, first and foremost, it’s their daughter, and everyone is out to take advantage of her. Best of luck to her.

That naked lady was named after a famous chocolate company.

Whatever it is, don’t expect me to coddle it. Not even a piece of it.

My horse wants to know the origin of “saddle light.” It’s something orbital, right? (Never mind.)

Tulsa. Gee, don’t you just hate spelling words backwards? Actually, I’ve been through Tulsa. Nice town. You can kill me now, anyway.

Ask the Puppet Master.

While I never yet drove a Formula 1 car, I did race sports cars in Canada in the 60′s, including the preliminary races for the Canadian Grand Prix in 1967. If you have developed the skills and you are willing to put your life on the line, it’s very exciting and rewarding. I imagine a date with marina would be similar in some ways. I wouldn’t hesitate to accompany the teacher to a concert or film or just a picnic in the park. I’ll bet you a week’s pay we would both have a really great time. Absolutely gorgeous women are easier to please than the plain ones. Most men are so intimidated by that kind of beauty that these ladies are used to being disappointed and bored, making it easy to please them if you are real and unafraid.

If I based the logic on (s)Miley’s name, if I nicknamed my son scrappy there’s a good chance he’ll legally change his name to (s)crappy?

Random Lesson……..:-):-):-):-):-):-):-)I can only be a HotForWords fan because I took a “TeachersPet” oath…an oath :lol: :shock: :lol:

hahaha lol she should :grin:

Wow with that much money I could fund my to-be gaming [career]! Naw I like to watch Doctor Who, House, Burn Notice, Royal Pains, Torchwood, and Stargate. I’m an official geek and I’m proud! You should check out these shows Marina. David Tennant in Doctor Who is the bomb!!
