100 Million Video Views!
Hey everyone! I wanted to thank you all for getting me to 100 MILLION video views on YouTube! That’s a pretty MAJOR milestone.. considering that that number is 1 third the population of the United States, for example!
You guys are the BEST! Here’s looking forward to the next 100 million!
Lots of love,
Marina

Word of the day by ...
Sorry, Marina, but I speak a little and bad English only, :cry:
Can you me excuse?
randon lesson, congratulations
Marina, I guess I owe you some thanks. I was notified by WhiteSmoke that I was one of the winners of the software contest! Hopefully my grammar and spelling will be vastly improved once I begin using this software.
Thanks again,
Tom
Congratulations Tom, that makes two of us.
I have been using Whitesmoke for a few days now, and it has helped me solve some ways in structuring sentences correctly.
Thank you again Marina and for thinking up this game and selecting me. I am truly honored and humbled.
this is a reply to, Raymond Borowiak’s,
“Funny I didn’t know Alexis is Russian maybe it was Alexisoff or Alexispov. I remember some people came to this country and got their really long names changed by INS to Smith.”
It is not a Russian name actually.
It is short for something but nothing Russian, it is short for Alexandra.
I have a little Russian in me but not too much.
[I'm a mutt]

Hello Marina,
Congratulations on such an unprecedented achievement. Too bad it wasn’t a musical album or book- but then you might not be making anymore shows for us to enjoy. You’d be on a permanent vacation while having Bob fly you all over the world. :wink:
I see that you must be tired from all the work that you’ve been doing since you couldn’t even get up to dance for the announcement.
For all of your efforts- Thank you Marina
Marina!!
I’ve written an entry, but every time i try to send it, it says that the your email account ” loveletter@hotforwordscom” is not valid :( How can I send it in??
:neutral: Well, it looks like I’m out of that contest. I’m lousy at making love letters. Too mooshy and stupid and stuff.
A Milli A Milli A Milli A Milli A Milli! :razz:
Congratz yet again.
Marina, thanks for the effort & energy you’ve poured into this, for lack of a better word, project. Haven’t seen anybody with your enthusiasm for word origins & teaching them. Kudos to you for finding a way to make this youtube thing work for you (and sticking with it through the $$ dry times). First time I saw you was the featured “womens dictionary” & I could not stop showing Clients, suppliers & friends the videos ’til they got sick of me. Anyways, most afternoons around coffe time, a small group of us gather in the office (one guy just shows up on time because he has no computer at home) to view, as he says “the word of the day”.
Thanks for starting this forum thing too, this is cool, I hadn’t done any of this talking on line stuff before, so now ,at home, I probably seem like I’m trying to keep up with the kids… well only one left, so kid.
Question, sort of… you said you were going to explain later why you moved into the new place (or out of the old), did I miss it, or is it still a mystery?
BillyB,
I agree, I’m new to this also and I enjoy this forum on several points.
In regards to the new living space-I think she mentioned that it had to do with her getting Kobe.
Hi Warren, just goes to show how we remember different things.
I think I remember her saying she got Kobe because the new place couldn’t accommodate Gucci, so he went to stay with relatives, but she said that she would explain the move in the future, which is now , or tomorrow, or the next…
Anyways as you state above, she didn’t get up to dance. I can think of at least two possible reasons. One… it was very hot & the A/C is broken, (or even being controlled by big bro.) draining all her energy. Or two… getting up from that position may be a little less than modest, wearing that lovely yellow outfit.
Sent it! Check it out pleasee! :sad:
When is the deadline Ms. Orlova?
Try to get it to me by the next couple days :-)
I’m on it! I’m guessing you won’t accept late work. :smile:

Congratulations on 100 million views.
I think I’ve contributed somewhere in that 100 million – please look for me at views #321,832, #321,996, #685,451, and (hehe) especially at #960,069.
I wonder if you have over 100 Million comments on your videos as well. :shock:
It’s possible she has 100 million comments. After all, for every 5 people who don’t leave a comment, there’s 1 person who leave five comments :razz: It all evens out, I bet :mrgreen:
Or one person who litters the site with comments. Wouldn’t be me.
While walking down the street one day a US senator is tragically hit by a truck and dies.
His soul arrives in heaven and is met by St. Peter at the entrance.
‘Welcome to heaven,’ says St. Peter. ‘Before you settle in, it
seems there is a problem. We seldom see a high official around these parts, you see, so we’re not sure what to do with you.’
‘No problem, just let me in,’ says the senator.
Well, I’d like to, but I have orders from higher up. What we’ll do is
have you spend one day in hell and one in heaven. Then you can choose where to spend eternity.’
‘Really, I’ve made up my mind. I want to be in heaven,’ says the senator. ‘I’m sorry, but we have our rules.’
And with that, St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell. The doors open and he finds himself in the middle of a green golf course. In the distance is a clubhouse and standing in front of it are all his friends and other politicians who had worked with him.
Everyone is very happy and in evening dress. They run to greet him, shake his hand, and reminisce about the good times they had while getting rich at the expense of the people.
They play a friendly game of golf and then dine on lobster, caviar and champagne.
Also present is the devil, who really is a very friendly guy who has a good time dancing and telling jokes. They are having such a good time that before he realizes it, it is time to go.
Everyone gives him a hearty farewell and waves while the elevator rises The elevator goes up, up, up and the door reopens on heaven where St. Peter is waiting for him. Now it’s time to visit heaven.’
So, 24 hours pass with the senator joining a group of contented souls moving from cloud to cloud, playing the harp and singing. They have a good time and, before he realizes it, the 24 hours have gone by and St. Peter returns. ‘Well, then, you’ve spent a day in hell and another in heaven. Now choose your eternity.’
The senator reflects for a minute, then answers: ‘Well, I would never have said it before, I mean heaven has been delightful, but I think I would be better off in hell.’
So St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell. Now the doors of the elevator open and he’s in the middle of a barren land covered with waste and garbage.
He sees all his friends, dressed in rags, picking up the trash and putting it in black bags as more trash falls from above…
The devil comes over to him an d puts his arm around his shoulder. ‘I don’t understand,’ stammers the senator. ‘Yesterday I was here and there was a golf course and clubhouse, and we ate lobster and caviar, drank champagne, and danced and had a great time. Now there’s just a wasteland full of garbage and my friends look miserable. What happened?’
The devil looks at him, smiles and says…….
‘Yesterday we were campaigning. Today you voted.’
So true!
good one mike make you think its true :sad: :?: :
haha, nice. :lol:
Where’d you get this, a friend of mine is a pastor with a website & he has a pearlygates e mail & clean joke list… I’ll send it to him. He may have already seen it… Should I give you credit capman?
BillyB he is welcome to it. My wife sent it to me. So please pass it on. I don’t need any credit for it as long as someone else can get a laugh out of it.
Thanks, sent.. I’ll let you know if he’s seen it. We call him the “Pastor of Disaster”. Raced with him @ Western Speedway, He drove Demo Trucks (Hit to pass racing) We drove claimer division. Chris #69 my oldest son, drives in the claimer division now, & is good… hope to be able to afford a better class of racing next year for him, although claimer racing is challenging. If you’re fast, the car gets claimed (bought for $650.00) and you can then claim another car & try & beat the fast car you had last race. Keeps costs down, but it’s a lot of work to bring out a faster car the next race. We blew our motor this last weekend. ouch. Yak Yak don’t get me started…
That story is funny in more ways than one, thanks for sharing.
What does “Lakin” mean?… please and thank you :D
“bee-stung lips”; thank you.
beast of burden
Dear Teacher,
What does “lost his marbles” mean?
Congrats marina 108,000 subscribers.. I unsubscribed then subbed again so i could be 108,000
hmmm…somehow the math doesn’t add up…
if you unsubscribed, she lost one; subscribing gains one…overall, no change…
unless that’s new math…
annudder :cool:
‘ello Dear Teacher,
I’we got one for you; it’s “secularization” (let’s go international).
I’ve already checked wikipedia, int. dictionary and few other references on it’s meaning, and I am interested if you could pull something interesting out on it’s etymology.
Looking forward to it and good luck,
~Marco :wink:
so .. that’s your plan is it? ..
… conquer America and divide it into three parts to be governed by your TAs.
Well … be careful .. you don’t want to end up like
[Mary, Queen of Scots]
it seems as well as singing [Fairport Convention's Fotheringay]
Sandy Denny sang with Robert Plant on [Led Zep's Battle of Evermore]
… well .. i think it’s interesting.
Moose and Squirrel just pushed the votes to 215. :grin:
OK, today, we no kill Moose and Squirrel… muchas gracias! :grin:
Karl we are still at 215 votes. I guess everyone has voted as much as they can for today. Maybe there are some stragglers who hasn’t voted. I see Miss M. added the link at the top of the comments section, good :grin:
Well Marina i got this one for you… ”Perform” See you later =)
“I was going to suggest that you write one to me, but then I thought that would come off presumptuous…. yes.. please write me a love letter! I need all the love I can get!”
Dearest Teacher
You are beautiful.I love Your wonderful way.Poets will place You among the constellations,I place You deep within My heart.Light makes the stars shine,hearts lend the shimmer. To Me it is Your eyes wich shimmer most of all.
signed- Student Body
tryant (snif n smile)
umm. dude. you’re supposed to email your … thingie.
Yeah man,I know,and TY. I Was inspired and had to get it out without delay. If Marina likes it then She will enter it.
On a lighter note- The best I could do is email a picture of My “thingie”! :lol: Probably get detention for that!
tryant
Just took a better look at how I wrote the lighter note and,NO My Fellow students and Wonderful Teacher,if a pic of a thingie comes in,it is NOT Me!
figured I better clarify,just in case.
tryant
oh, your thingie is “cute / funny /lovely”? better not send it, dude.
LOL, I totaly suck at this “cute” love letter romantic thing :lol: if i did…..i’d make a complete fool out of myself so yeah…….. no letter from me probably……anyway….YOU RULE Marina! :grin: :mrgreen: yeah..
copy from above. they’ll all sound more or less like that. be sure to include a lot of nouns relating to nature (sun, rainbow, ocean etc) in your metaphors. maybe replace stars by sun, heaven, or light or something. whatever strikes you fancy, you know.
Don’t for get the walks along the beach.
ah, right, mike. thanks.
yeah. include activities (!) in a nature environment. you’re more or less forced to paint a picture, and love is not supposed to be a still life. yeah. uh. nature. activities.
How about Schiller… can’t go wrong there, can I?
all is full of love
210 votes and climbing. Lets keep on our toes and vote. I know this is redundant, but the more you see reminders the more you’ll vote and that’s what this video is all about. So lets keep Teach in mind.
Thanks,
Mike
Mike, from your question below, yes it is 5 votes per day. If you only voted 3, try again to see if you can get 2 more. You might need to let the page refresh longer. I noticed that their server gets bogged down once in a while.
Thanks Karl, that’s what I did was kept voting one behind the other and must have over loaded it. I noticed that someone else was voting for M at the same time.
Congratulations Marina on the Hundred-Million Views! And although it’s not PC, you also want to thank your “SLOW” students….. the ones that watch your lessons over and over and over :-)
How about the word “convention” …. a popular word for the next two weeks….
Wow 2nd channel honour 95 most viewed today
Marina, as I am a social outcast. Can we write love letters to you??? I cant actually write love letters to people I know because they are either male/family
I was going to suggest that you write one to me, but then I thought that would come off presumptuous…. yes.. please write me a love letter! I need all the love I can get! :-)
what the hell? to you only? i don’t like this game. :/
ok. I had better start writing now then
x
Mmmmmwah!
Miss M. is there anyway you could put a link to the Best Week End Ever site on this page to remind us to vote or if you do another video today keep the link available to us. :wink: :smile:
Thanks,
Mike
Ok Marina I sent you my letter
Never Marina,
Maybe a little conceited, arrogant,uppity, assuming, insolent, pompous audacious, bold, brash, brazen, confident, overly familiar, forward, haughty, naughty, pushy or smug,
BUT presumptuous,? not one little bit. :lol:
Ps, Can you have your sister send me her email address again I lost it.
Marina, you absolutely slay me with your comments.
When you said, “yes.. please write me a love letter!
I need all the love I can get!” you had me laughing :lol:
for weeks. You are the funniest person I’ve
never met. You are absolutely brilliant.
James
You need to let me know so I can change my avatar.
Marina’s not going to talk to you if she think it’s me.
I have changed now so no worries.
why
I had the dancing the banana as my avatar, you never noticed?
See how you are, do you have the RRR filter on too.
If I had any self esteem issues, I might need therapy by now.
That’s ok, I have been shun for much less by less worthy, so it a honer
to be the villain of the biggest web name on Youtube in the world.
aLx I know your going to dispute me as the villain.
Bite me yellow polka dot boy. :lol: We have seen behind the curtain of evil and rotten and you turn out to be a nice guy, almost sweet .
another shocking twist!
so, who’s “we” and what exactly did you look at?
besides. yellow polka dots, my ass. i marked my territory. from the outside.
To commemorate your appearance on The O’reilly factor I was hoping you would do “Diatribe” in honor of Bills favorite tool.
100 million seconds

1157 years, 9 hours, 46 minutes, 40 seconds
100 million seconds ago, in the year 851, the vikings plundered London and Coventry!
:oops: :oops: :oops: oh no!! .. lol .. that’s crap!! :oops: :oops: :oops:
(where’s that “edit” button when you need it!)
ahem …
100 million seconds
=
1,666,666 minutes 40 seconds
=
27,777 hours, 46 minutes, 40 seconds
=
1157 days, 9 hours, 46 minutes, 40 seconds
=
3 years, 62 days, 9 hours, 46 minutes, 40 seconds
.. ahem … :oops: … no vikings anywhere
At that rate it seems that about 2.0? per second are viewing her videos.
give or take ……….wow! over a year and a half straight 24 hours a day.
Is that accurate??
when did M produce her first vid?
… i shall zoom off to ‘ave a look, matey.
yep … good thinking to see it that way, roady ..
[very first Marina vid]
= March 02, 2007
August 24, 2008 – March 02, 2007 = 541 days
(according to the date difference function on my calculator)
541 days = 12,984 hours = 779,040 minutes = 46,742,400 seconds.
therefore…
100,000,000 views / 46,750,000 seconds
= 2.14 views/second
i.e. a shade over 2 views / second average.
of course, the view rate will generally be higher the more recent the vid.
Since this site is all about words, what about the word spelling? When did it become the word for creating words? I know spell has two meanings: spell a word and cast a spell. Since you love words I bet you are a great speller! I can’t say the same for me! Without spell check I wood bee domed!!!! :grin:
congratulations on 100 million views :!: :!: :!: :!:
The numbers game what does it mean?
I mean look at Ron Paul he got all that money from the internet, and you don’t see him running for President?
Look at it this way it will take you 999.9 years to get to 100 billion views
And congrats to Marina and the twins on your feat. -=#;P

OK 205 and climbing.
Let’s send teacher on a vacation.
http://www.bestweekendevercontest.com/video.php
yea, but we still need to double that :P
I wrote Marina a comment to see if she could put us a link to that site on this video page to remind us what this video is about. Instead of us having to keep hunting for it. It would only let me vote 3 times before it wouldn’t take any more of my votes. I thought it was 5 votes per day?
Request word: Congratulations
:)
How very sad. :cry: :cry:
Sister Words is Sooooo jealous, :evil: :evil:

u maybe have a thing for sister?
but it’s impossible, she exists only on youtube you know? :D
Hi, I was wondering what the origin of the word “Cap-a-pie” came from. :neutral:
That’s what Cap-a-man-911 gets measured for when he goes to the doctor. :wink: Just kidding, :razz: I know the definition of the word, but I’ll let Miss M add that one to her list as for the etymology of the word. I have never heard of that phrase so I hope she will do it too. :smile:
How do you know the tooumas guy from yt?…just wondering cause i’v been talking to him for a while now.
marina,
a new word to investigate:
imperturbability
sounds interesting, right?

You’re on a roll; you’ve been cracking me up all week.
The name Marina Supernova was out of this world. :lol:
Actually, I’m not so sure that my analogy of a supernova was a very good one.
I hope I haven’t tempted fate and that Marina doesn’t fade from view, at least during my lifetime. We might all be left with the White Dwarf! (Guess who I’m thinking about. :wink: )
However, the prospect of Marina sucking us all into a black hole is … Wait! maybe she’s already achieved that. There’s no escape, I tell you!
Let’s keep the supernova analogy down to EXTREMELY HOT, and leave it at that :D
:eek: Hey, I know what the word means, but do you?=]
Okay I’ll tell you the short story.
I will capitalize the words I would like for you to look up
and find out where it came from.=]please?
I was drinking KUTZ Soda and my OPA starting laughing.
I asked him what he was laughing at and he said the name of the soda.
I said what do you mean? So I asked my unkle-in-law what was going on since he speaks the same language and they said it meant something else.
Do you know the language and what the words that are capitolized?=]
:mrgreen: :smile: :cool: :grin: :wink:
-MarinaAlexis [and yes we have the same nameC:]
Funny I didn’t know Alexis is Russian maybe it was Alexisoff or Alexispov.
I remember some people came to this country and got their really long names changed by INS to Smith.
where does the word, “derrière ” come from? :oops:
Where does the word “Pimp” Come From?
Please And Thanks Alex, A.K.A. Alexdied093
Also Grats on the 100million!!! :grin:
Marina, I see you changed the background of the two links in the lessons list. :wink:

Good for you and keep it up? :wink:
what is love? never ask an anthropologist, you won’t just get a love note, you’ll get a lecture.
that was good i like it i did not agree with everything but she was very interesting thanks for putting it on
if the lecture was too long follow this link to a stripped down version.
so ..
Question from smitten romantic: What is love?
Answer from clipboard weilding scientist: Love is the ventral tegmental area which is part of the reptillian core of the brain.
lizard love
LOL
the brain in love …
in the clip: “… intense energy, intense focus, intense motivation …”
This vaguely reminds me of something i read about alchemy.
[Alchemists], because they were working when the elements were fire, water, air and earth were not purely materialistic in their methods or their view of the world. Those elemental qualities permeated all aspects of life. So
[love and devotion]
were important qualities which inspired vision, investigation and discovery. E.g. .. an alchemist would have a muse where the quality and revelations of his work would be an expression of devotion to his muse.
(I’m not sure if “muse” is correct for the way i’m using it, but i think it may be close)
So .. i guess .. if you have studies and exams and so forth .. regard the work as an expression of devotion to a muse rather than a technical process.
Thanks for the link BW. I’ve watch many of her lectures. I hadn’t seen her latest lecture. :smile:
Commitment then perhaps love.
Commitment, oops… Buju

oh, man. fuck creativity. damnit. it’s way overrated. can’t there be a … curse contest or something? syntax? morphology? binary branching is beautiful. :/
Just write her a really nice hate letter. It could be a turn on ?
Women love men that treat them like crap. You just never know?
You could win, she said it is arbitrary who wins.
Spin a long drawn out venomous diatribe of hate of which there is no equal.
Make Her sleep with the light on. You could you it.
Just once I should prof read my stupid crap BEFORE hitting the enter.
You’re a very sick man aLx. :neutral:
perhaps participants could have submitted narratives that provide examples of language used to manipulate the brain chemistry of another individual to achieve or maintain the desired relationship of the writer. the language could be judged based upon the success of the language to release dopamine and other neurological compounds in the brain of the reader and thus promote chemical induced bonding between people. oh, wait thats what she’s doing.

hey marina, congrats on the 100 million. hmmm on a topic pertaining to that, why is it that the prefix mil is used in so many different lengths and measures? in english it is used in a million, and 1/1000th, in spanish mil means 1000, and i see it can also mean 1/6400th in a military measurement. could u help me figure it out? ty in advanced if u reply
The word “cold”; as in temperature Please and thank you.
marina, congratulations, word up!
That was cool Buzz. I watched all of the Gorilla videos. He was great on the drums. Whether he was playing them or not.
heres the original and the lyrics
oo … oo … oo!
yo, all the simians in da house, strap ya codpiece on and wave ya hands in da air like you don’t care. cameo … oo … oo!
oh, evolve already guys! :mrgreen:
something educational can be sexy-this will get some young people to learn that one can think and not get a headache.they can even get excited!
way to go,Marina
Hot4Words, thanks so much for educating a lot of people. And so you rock for that! And now, I have a word request for you. What is the origin of the word, word?
People in love say almost the same things
Wampires do! :mrgreen: Some examples:
“I want your
bloodlove.”“I need your
bloodlove.”“I cannot live without your
bloodlove.”“The world would be a colder place without
your
bloodlove to keep me warm.”done – i don’t expect to win anything, but it’s a good exercise, very cathartic…
thank you, Marina…
and bless be…
annudder :cool:
Congratulations!
You deserve a Star!
That is beautiful Doug. That was very thoughtful. :smile:
Super cool, Chacha!
However, I think it should be named Marina Supernova. :smile:
You can do that! kewl :mrgreen:
If enough people do it, 5 or more
You’d have a constellation,
the constellation Marina :grin:
melikadothechacha, you made me log in today to complement you on that nice gesture. IMHO, you’re likely to win that “love letter” contest! What a nice thing to do! seesixcm6
Cool idea melikadothechacha.
Did it come with a map?
Congratulations!!!! Your videos ROCK!!! :-)
This a fan video from back when
Marina had “only” 40K subscribers
Marina rocks! :mrgreen:
Hey marina !
First of all Congratulations for the 100 milion views ! It’s really amazing ! Furthermore, being a greek i know pretty well many “difficult” words that are taken from greek :mrgreen: , but i dont know some words less difficult but not taken from greek..! What i am requesting you is investigating the origin of the word “bureau”.
For a long time i didnt even know what it meant.. I recently learnt that it means office but i would like to know the origin :smile:
Thanks in advance ! I wish you have another 100 million views Marina ! You truly deserve it !
Greetings from Greece,
Panos
Congratulations Marina.
100 million video views is a lot, it’s 5 times the population of Australia. :shock:
That’s a lot of students to control. :mrgreen:
best wishes

Marina,
If it wasn’t for you and your idea of a learning site for people like us all over the world to watch and participate in then we wouldn’t now be congregated in one spot in from of a computer screen watching Marina Orlova give her daily lessons. The care and compassion you put into each lesson shows us that it’s not for self importance, but to truly teach the biggest class in the world the understandings of words and their meanings we never knew or cared about. You have got to have the biggest heart in this world to put up with the bad comments as well as the good ones and still carry on.You are loved by so many that you have never met and probably will never meet. I one am glad I found this site and was able to stick with it and hopefully have you as a friend. I congratulate you on a job well done on reaching so many people and wish you the best in the future. Your student always.
Mike
Thanks so much Mike (Capman911)!!! I hope to meet up with as many of you as I can someday! I love the responses I get every day.. I’ve learned to laugh at the negative comments for what they are… and I really appreciate all you guys for sticking around here and letting me know how I am doing!
And for talking among yourselves while I am off recording and editing videos! I am so glad that things keep going here when I am working… as it’s really fun to jump in on conversations that are already happening, then go back to work, come back and find all new conversations going on. I LOVE IT!
And I want to thank you, Mike, for all the help you have provided on this website, welcoming new people, etc.! So thank YOU and thank YOU ALL for everything! :mrgreen:
well said, Mike…but Marina is right. without fans like you and a host of others (see how i cleverly avoid having to remember everyone’s username?), the site would have dwindled into the electronic ether long ago…
sure, the lessons and the lady are marvelous (especially the lady :oops: ), but it is the sense of, well, for lack of a better word (!), community that keeps me coming to websites…and this one has a great big family…
like all families, we sometimes bicker (you should see me go at it with my 10-yr-old boy when he doesn’t get the dang WWE cards he wants), but, again like family, we find a way to forgive & forget…
or maybe that’s just being adults…i don’t know – i’m still learning that part…
‘course, if i ever met Marina, my heart would be throbbin’ so dang hard i probably would be taken to a hospital, and for sure they’d find one heck of a fever ragin’…
oh…did i say that outloud?…
annudder :cool:
{throws bucket of iced water over annuddermale}
Tom it is still like that even now with my two grown children bicker and make up. But I made one point in my life when they were old enough to understand is that I would never go to bed angry at one of my children or for them to be angry with me.I felt because of my job or if I was at home and something happened to me at night I didn’t want them to remember that as the last thing we said to each other. I would usually give in then they learned to do the same so we would all be happy together. Children are hard to predict sometimes, but they are our lives and will always tug at your heart strings. Sorry to carry on.
Mike
oh, carry on, carry on…
lol…and my love letter for Marina’s contest was to my children, of course…
many of the same sentiments were expressed there…
tom :cool:
Capman
As your now a member of the TA team, Maybe a meet and great Marina book,CD, what ever the hell else you can round up to sell tour is in the future?? Maybe a bus tour?? Rent an RV and drive cross country. Set up several venues along the way. You and Captjack could be Her roadies and do the driving too. Anyone that comes here to the site will also know you two. You guys would be like rock stars too. Have the RV people veneer the side of the RV with Marinas face and HFWs logos. Get other sponsors to pay for everything .
Do like 500 miles between stops. 10 days out, lay up in NY and go on the O’Reilly show to talk about the trip then 10 days back. Keeping in touch on the internet all along the way too. Daily report videos if town names or food names origins or what ever stupid crap you can come up with along the way.
Hey ask her if she got the package I sent to her?? tell her IT”S not a bomb ok? just a peace offering :roll:
You got it RRR. I have use of a Trailways Motor home so we wouldn’t have to rent one. I think she got the package, did you notice she had moved all of her furniture out of her living room during the video. :lol:
Probably just taking precautions. :lol:

Thanks mijj.. I was trying to find 100 million representations for my video… these would have been GREAT!!! Instead I just showed the US divided into thirds which is so obscure I don’t think ANYBODY got it!
I should have consulted you before I made the video!!
{waggles eyebrows in agreement}
Now it makes sense. :razz: :razz:
Your clearly operating on a plane way above ours. :idea: :idea:
You turned a thank you video into a lesson. :lol: :lol:

that is about every male over 10 in the USA . :lol:
1 in ever 65 people in the world, man, woman and child.
There are estimated between 200 billion and 400 billion stars in [our galaxy (the Milky Way)].
… of these, there are approx 100 million G2 type stars (like [our sun]).
[ref: Wikkipedia: Sun]
[ref: Wikkipedia: Milky Way]
i.e. … for each view of a Marina vid, there’s a sun in the Milky Way, like our own, capable of supporting an earth-like planet!!
… freaky coincidence? … or something else!
What’s going on, Marina?
“Marina is the only star in our Universe.“…Rule 1, supersection “Her Shining Brilliance” in The Marina Sycophant Handbook…
nope, CaptainJack’s got a lock on that, bro…
annudder, who knows how to stay :cool:
What, is this about 10 dollars US?
lol .. it may have become worth that as a collectors item.
oh, wow – big bucks… :roll:
as for the “bucket of water” above, watch it! i’m not wetsuit, ya know…these things shrink… :???:
annudder :cool:
sorry …
… i thought you were in need of it. It was an emergency bucket of iced water i keep nearby for when viewing Marina vids.
“Marina is the only star in our Universe.”…Rule 1, supersection “Her Shining Brilliance” in The Marina Sycophant Handbook…”
You’re gonna be the Supervillain in the next Marina, the Priestess of Prose movie, aren’t you. .. your worship will warp you and you’ll seek revenge from mankind for diverting her attention from her most devoted servant … etc etc.. i know it!

I was wondering about origin of the word tryst.
[the last 100 million years]
Mijj are you sure you didn’t trace the bottom of a cow. :lol: :lol:
LOL
!! .. it’s uncanny .. !!
I prefer fresh milk to the stuff that comes in cans.
Congratulations, Marina. You deserve every ounce of the success you’re having, and many of us are looking forward to seeing you hit 200 milion views.
Hey HotForWords… :)
First post.
The first word that popped into my head that I wondered about the origin of was ‘erstwhile’… I use it a fair bit, and now you’ve got me thinking where it came from!
Cheers
d3m0n :twisted: :twisted:
First post, eh? :mrgreen:
Marina has not done ‘erstwhile’
I tend to use it to avoid reduncancy
for the words ‘meantime’ and ‘meanwhile’
This weekend is turning out big for Marina.
Excellent first post, dude.
Have you seen these Gravatars peoples got?
There’s some simians, hamsters, pandas, etc.
Only one fishy, though :smile:
Get yours here.

angst-word request
but hey i got a word what means bitch :)
Hi Marina. Congratulations on reaching 100 million views!! :D
While I’m here, I was wondering where we get the word “horny” from?
Hi declan69, It’s been done. Check out the Lessons list at the top menu. It’s a game, so don’t cheat. :grin:

Thanks. I checked under H and only saw 4 items at the top of the page, but there’s a load of other ones before it at the bottom of the page! Silly Me! :D
How many negative prefixes are there in English? I can think of de-, dis-, un-, anti-, non-, no-, im-, in-, and there are likely others. Why is there a need for so many? Is it due to the French/Germanic roots of English. Other languages get by with a comparitive few.
plus .. erm … {thinks hard…}
ill – illiterate v literate … one who is made ill by literature
ab – abstain v. stain .. abstains from staining
Dear Marina, Congratulations! What a nice way to celebrate! By giving away valuable prizes! Few people would be so nice, after such a super achievement! I’m sure you’ll reach 200 Million in less time than the first 100 Million. I’ll e-mail you a nice love letter tonight. I need to ask if you are going to publish the winning love letters? You see, some of your fans are so jealous and posessive, it could be dangerous to tell you how much you are loved! :-) Your dear student, seesixcm6

My Dear teacher,
Great job Marina!!! Wow 100,000,000 views.
I not sure how I stumbled onto your site on YT, but I’m so glad I did, because it brought me here where I have met new contacts like Capman911, James, CaptainJack, just to name a few. I look forward to your lessons each and every day. I’m not sure how long I have been here, seems like only a week or so, you make learning new things exciting and fun. When I was relatively new and heard my name on your ‘Bar & Pub’ lesson I was so happy. I showed everybody I knew. If I didn’t say it already I’ll say it now. Thank you!!!!
Thank you for the knowledge I share with people every day.
Your ever so humble student
Ted
P.S. Here is to another 100,000,000 views.
Oops forgot the smileys so here they are:
:mrgreen: :mrgreen: :grin: :smile: :grin: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
That was a good lesson :mrgreen:
Worth watching, again.
Nice to meet you too
hey :smile: i already requested this word on you YouTube account, but is was only after that when i saw the link.
can yo explain the word ‘rucksack’ for me ? it’s really weird word, and i’d like to knw where it came from.
thank you ! :mrgreen:
This is huge!
Congratulations one more time, from me!
I told you before, I’m starting to talk a lot like you, also sometimes I feel a cute Russian accent coming on… Beats me why though! :D
Classic Marina
…just to remind you why
heh heh :mrgreen:
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!
A hundred million?!? I can’t even count that high. I can’t even imagine how many hours of video views that is. Average of 3 minute lessons = 5,000,000 hours? 208,333 days? Well its a lot.
Congrats Dear Marina. This is one amazing feat! You have come a long way in almost 2 years. :mrgreen: Imagine if someone told you when you first started that you would have 100mil views in 2 years. What would have you said to that person?
I was excited when I hit the population of my hometown in Russia… like 100k a year ago! 100 million will never happen! Oh wait!…
Captain Jack quotes some very interesting numbers. :idea:
The news last week quoted how the Russians did a cyber attack on Georgia’s internet infrastructure. :evil:
Thankfully, Marina is not a sleeper plant. :oops:
Talk about painlessly taking up bandwidth. :wink: :wink: :wink:
(Progress in Iraq was held up today as US Troops wanted to watch HotForWords video’s first, Iraqees in protest are demanding she wear burkas in the future) :cry:
How well does Marina know Putan? :cool: :cool: :razz: :razz:
Wetsuit
Hey if we can get Marina to go and pay a visit to Putin, do you think She could cheer him up ?? If he had something better to do like chatting on her site. Maybe then he would not start WW4?
Nah,
Putin’s KGB and dorked up from the get go. :twisted:
But I bet she could get Medvebbeh (or what ever his name it)(the guy who looks weird in a suit) to smile. :wink:
Now would he be a pun tonka or a pun tonko? :roll:
Where I see you in 5 years, I know you wouldn’t believe me. :shock: I hardly believe myself but I have been right about 8 times out of 10. :smile:
Marina, I’m watching the first appearance of O’Reilly again where he says with such amazement, “… her YouTube site has received more than 40 million hits.” That was just a short 4 months ago and you’ve more than doubled that number.
By the way, I loved your graphic showing the US in thirds as it relates to the US population. But, then again I’m a numbers & words man.
Look at the Tube Mogul chart. It looks like you hit another daily record of 1,040,936 views for Aug 23. The previous record was on June 18.
Oh, and I just noticed you added another chart, cumulative views by month. I love it. :smile:
Marina, where is your home town in Mother Russia? Can’t be Mockba, they’re past 10 million. I’d love to go there and see if there are any more like you at home. If there are it would be a perfect reason to invade Russia! (Besides what’s going on in Georgia!) :razz:
CaptainJack Do you still get to keep your blue thing??
Obviously you didn’t read my announcement. :roll:
:mrgreen: :grin: :razz: :eek: Congratulations!!! and is that way you celebrate when u achieve something incredible :!: :!: :!: wow :shock: :shock: have got the medal i am just jocking i love u ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh ohhhhh ohhhhhhhaaa eeeeee ad aaaaaaaa eeeeee yaaaaaaaaaaa hoaoaooaoaoao waaaaaaaaaaaaa huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu dada adada dada dada dadadadadd dadadad

Okay, so I account for 99,999,999. Who’s the other guy?
Cute sniperskaya :-)
Yeah, I know I’m cute, but I still want to know who the heck other guy is!?!? :razz:
Oh! Jealousy is an ugly beast. :grin:
Hey! Leave the wives out of it!
