Burrito

yo ,wasup, i’m not realy a fan of both..they don’t realy sell them here:P

2nd

taco is the cruncy one and burrito the soft rolled up dough like substance right?

Sometimes.. but the tacos are also soft here but not wrapped up… they are smaller and simply folded over once.

I WOUld have been first but I got fed up of refreshing. I waited 2 hours

k, i’v had taco’s the cruny ones they’re hard to eat:P you take one carefull bite and the whole thing breaks leaving you with your hands full with salad ,sauce ,meat and all kinds of stuff…

so what’s the difference then between the ones you’re talking abouth…Just the way they’re folded?

letter sent omgomgomg :X
u guys wanna post yours here?
I totally wouldm but I just don’t wanna be the 1st to do it :D

Marina, There is no mention of burrito on calorie

(i know)

Talking about pizza, I found out that it is not actually italian! It has greek origin, coming from the word pitta (flatbread, pie), which means pinched, flat (I thought it came from the city Piza). So while greeks seasoned their pittas with sesame or anything to make a simple flatbread, italians seasoned their pittas with sauce, cheese, etc, to make a complete dish! Weird, huh?

how about
EGG
as to egg someone on

By raping meat in a slice of flat bread, what do you get?
Burito? Taco? Shwarma? Shawerma? Shawrma? Chawerma? Gyros? Gyro? Doner Kebab? Kebab? Kepap?
I like Shaorma! :P

TACOS! Mmmm, can’t get enough of them TACOS. :wink:

also their content differs.
And as you saw, their origin! :D

hair kinda getting in your eye…
what cool self restraint in order to look good in your videos. :D
Sometimes when I don’t cut my hair for a while and it gets to touche my eyebrows, they get so itchy, you can’t believe it! :P

Taco Grandes by the dozen – yum!
The sour cream makes it… :mrgreen:

Burrito’s for me.

I’ve got a question. Are Brussel Sprouts…really from Brussels?

Hi Marina. I would like to know the origin of the expression “prime time”.

By the way, I prefer burritos.

I don’t think pizzas are from Italy.

i like burritos better

Hi, first of all, congratulations on your 100 million views. My request is this: could you investigate the origin of the word INVESTIGATE. Thanks.

Hi, I like Burritos better than tacos. I like them because of the yummy bread. Marina what do you prefer Tacos or Burritos ?

Chimicnanga!!!!

FRIED Burrito. YEAH BAYBAY!

Easy homework. :smile:
Burrito. :grin:
You can put more interesting stuff inside of it. :razz: :razz:

Wonderful way to start the next 100 million, with a little ass!! :idea: :mrgreen: :oops: :wink: :lol: :lol:

Was wondering what to do for supper. That’s for the idea. :wink:
Off to munch a bunch. :cool: :cool:

Why is there a strange turd with arms, legs, and antennae next to my last post? :shock:

Hi Mike capman911, I’m answering you over on this page.

Yes I saw that my, errr, ummm, our Teacher has placed the link up above. I noticed that there are 150 – 170 users on site right now. That is a huge jump from what it had been recently. If only 10 people would go over to bestweekendevercontest.com and register and vote, our Teacher would be in second place before me and my neighbors get to vote again after 9 PM PDT tonight (12 midnight ET).

Although, there is that certain special taco…

Thank’s.
Think of Guacamole and my fingers can’t spell.
Keys, keys, where did I put my keys?

Homework: Enchirito (kind of a wet burrito) at Taco Bell.
NOTICE, you eat an Enchirito with a spork, Not a friggin fork. :lol:
ref: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enchirito

The Enchirito hasn’t been on the menu in ages, but as long as I can still remember the name, I’m still ordering it. :smile:

OK I know it’s corny, but…. :???:
HotForWords, you paraded a little burro character across the screen. :razz:

What’s you little ass’s name? :roll: :roll: :wink: :wink:

Tacos all day!

I like tacoI like tacos better than burritos. Although I do like the soft shell taco better than the corn shell taco.

It’s weird how so much food is Americanized. Not everyone can handle ‘Authentic’ foods from other countries. Some would say our food is bland by comparison, because we have to tone it down in order to handle it.s

And this one. Did you change email addresses?

Wow 50 years living next to Mexico growing up speaking Spanish. I have never heard that story about the Burro’s ears. I have asked Mexicans that I have known and grown up with, why the stupid name, ( little burro ) and I never got a real answer. They almost always say then, why do you gringos call sausages, hot dogs? that’s a stupid name. It is true the most Mexicans do not eat flower tortillas and most of what Americans think is Mexican food is Tex-Mex. But around here Mexican food ( TEX_MEX ) is by far the most popular and most common.
In Mexico Mexicans use little cheese and even less lettuce. Lots of pork, goat, pollo and beans with little corn tortillas.
Marina go down to a little Mexican barrio in LA and try some real Mexican food. You will like it.

Enchirito Ballad (shows what an Enchirito looks like)

Yes you are right. I was going to say this, but didn’t want to get shot down

I wonder if it has to do with ending up with egg on your face?

Speaking of small asses…. Marina, that was way too funny. Luckily I wasn’t eating an Enchirito at the time, I’d be cleaning up for days. :lol:

Dear Marina, That was a wonderful and pretty low-cut dress! Oh, you were talking about food? You have such a tiny waist and small behind, I think you eat very little! You just sip a few cups of tea, no doubt. For your homework, the taco tastes better than a burrito, but the burrito is healthier. In a taco, the corn tortilla is folded over and deep-fried so it will hold it’s shape. Then fillings are inserted. The burrito is healthier because it isn’t deep-fried. With the right filling and salsa, both are delicious. Filled dumplings are common in many countries. For example, there’s пельмени, or Pelmeni. My favorite filled foods are Chinese Dim Sum, which has dozens of different meat-filled noodles, buns, pastries etc. and they’re all extremely good! :-)Your dear student, seesixcm6

Or Fish Tacos down Baja… Ensenada etc.

errr. wait, I was wrong, let it ride. Speaking of which I had Dominoes earlier today. I love Dominoes.

i would like to request a word. a little while back i watched your 420 video and it got me thinking, where did the word marijuana come from. and if u can find out how people started calling it pot, that would be great, cause weed doesnt look anything like a pot.

thank you, keep up the great job.

Oh ya this too.
Has anyone out there EVER known a Hot chic
that does not say she has a big ass? My god ..does every
Woman need to look like a little boy …for uck-f sake.
Women today are like Pezz dispensers with IQ’s to match.
So long as Her gag reflex is gone and has big tits
and can fog a mirror, she is a keeper.

Yep! & When Mexicans order them they’ll just ask for a “burro” de pollo, de res, de carnitas etc., but there is also a chimichanga (fried burrito).

Hwk: Depends on the day. Hoy, quiero un burro.

Hey Marina!

I would like to know if ass and butt have anything to do with the conjunctions as and but, seeing as how ass and butt repaeat the last letter of both conjunctions.

Also show yor boobs more!! ^__^ Yes I am a perv.

i was at a 711 today, picking up some raman noodles, and the guy at the counter asked me, “cash or credit” and it got me thinking…where did the word credit come from? cause i’ve heard the first credit systoms were invented in China, but i also heard India. so wich is it? (if any)
thanks, Jah bless

Shit …. flour :shock:

Sorry, see6 but you totally missed it on the taco deal. For one most burritos have glutin that’s how the flour stays together. So, if you have a problem with glutin or wheat (flour) stay away from burrtos. Most taco shells aren’t fried they are baked into form, i.e. what you buy in the store.

By raping meat ???? ouch!!!!

How about wrapping?

I watch this video and all I get out of it is the question, Are you trying to reinvent the wheel? All I can comment is the inventors of the wheel are saying no, no no, and hell no. Got it?

To the person that just voted in the last 30 minutes that brought Marina up from 215 to 220 votes, my hat is off to you. Thank you!
bestweekendevercontest.com

No Mexicans where you are from?
We gots lots here, Can we send you some?
They are real easy to grow and spread like wild fire.

thx RRR, ouch indeed… it must be all those meat fantasies I’ve been having lately :D

between the two burritos…but i like soft tacos ’cause i can wrap ‘em up…

but my favorite is Texas fajitas…

oh, yeah…fajitas…yummmmmmmmm….

annudder :cool:

up to 225 on the vote :cool:

I like them both the same. All Mexican food tastes about the same.

wherever they are from, they are nasty

I like tacos especially the soft shell. Burritos give me a fiesta day. :lol:

How about the fried banana :wink:

thumbs up danielpool52 :smile:

i like them both i like all Mexican food jalapeno :lol:

hey …….the glass is back in front of the micro-wave oven??

as for the little white girl she has making burritos? stop IT……more like this.

lol, roadrunner – you whacky xenophobe.

I figured out a way to vote as much as I want. :twisted: :twisted:
I think Marina better start packing. :razz: :razz:
Vegas here she comes. :lol: :lol:

About the best weekend thing. When ever she enters a contest. With all her fans behind her she is bound to win..

yeh .. wtf .. why is it called “pot”!!?

Do you still think I’m a chic :?:

What about some kick back ??
Even Stalin (Koba ) feed His troops now and then. Just because he feed them the young of his enemy. still …kick down baby.

Be prepared to reset your filters on your email too. that is one spam slamming site.

Oh

!!

“ass” shifted one letter up in the alphabet = “btt”

which nearly makes it “butt” .. but not nearly enough to make it as a conspiracy theory.

I NEARLY FORGOT

RRR just spend a day in london :evil:

So far no spam from anyone yet.

I read your comments and I can think of is the question, how can someone with such random thoughts and inability to communicate even turn on a computer. The inventors of the computer are saying no, no and hell no!! Got it? Loon.

Are boysenberries really from boys? Are snozberries really from snoz?

Hello My Dear Teacher, would putting the last day of voting be a good idea in the remember to vote box above?

Their FAQ, which is awkwardly worded, says:
“Accepted Submissions may be viewed and voted on from 12:00 a.m. ET on August 25, 2008 through 11:59 p.m. ET on August 30, 2008.”

May I recommend; “Voting ends 11:59 p.m. ET on August 30, 2008″
or something to that affect.

Also, you can embed the video above, if you chose. The code is to the right of your video on the voting site.

Six more days of voting :smile:

A home made taco doesn’t fall apart, just the crappy ones you get at tacobell and places like it.

Kewl, just be careful, the official rules do not allow automated voting which would disqualify our Teacher.

Our Teacher is now tied for 2nd place with 245 votes. :cool:

hi marina :), i have a word request, im not addict, but i was wondering where the term for cocain, “crack”, came from.

My Dear Teacher,
Regarding the person on YT that challenged you on the origin of the word burrito:

My preliminary research supports your positions for the following reasons:
1. Wiki is good, unless it is vandalized. The burrito page has had many vandalisms, therefore it is suspect. Also, there was no footnote for the information regarding 1910 that I could see.

2. Assume that the Wiki has merit, then the person’s argument on YT has no merit when it comes to the context of your video. He is either innocently mistaken in ref to your video context, or he is trolling.

Also, as you had said, documentaries have been getting it wrong.

A key phrase in the link below is:
“Linguists remind us, words are often used for several years before they appear in print.”
http://www.foodtimeline.org/foodmexican.html

Staying withing the context of your video (i.e. “Burrito, in the English language…”), your research and video is upheld and is accurate.

mailinator is useful for anyone who’s needs a one-off email address and wants to avoid spam.

all you need to do is invent an email address ending in @mailinator.com
any email sent to the address you invent is saved for a couple of hours.
received at that address is visible to anyone who invents the same address – so really .. it’s only useful for one-off spam generating sites.

http://www.mailinator.com/

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mailinator

Mailinator is a free disposable e-mail address service created in 2003 by Paul Tyma, a software engineer at Google. The idea is to let a user create a new e-mail address on-the-fly, whenever needed, for instance while filling a form on a web site.

Mailinator is not intended and should not be used for sensitive information. Users cannot delete e-mail upon reading it; instead it is auto-deleted after a few hours. Mail cannot be sent from the Mailinator website.

A few websites might be blocking from sending e-mail to the domain of Mailinator or similar services; Mailinator provides alternate domains which work around this ban in most cases.

Hello teacher, Can we try sad ones?? Like Disease or Cancer. Not to bring any one down or nothing. Just seems important that’s all. To a great day, Student ID: 43737388 :cool:

ok .. i finally stepped up and did my bit (after hunting down a disposable email site)

check …
http://www.mailinator.com/index.jsp
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mailinator
… for info.

very easy to use.
Never use for anything involving sensitive info, btw.

okay4now, You must be an expert cook. When we made corn tortillas, we’d mix corn flour (masa harina) and water, roll into balls, and flatten them with rolling pin into discs. Pan fry on both sides in a skillet. Yes, we used oil to pan-fry. To make the half-round tortilla shell, it was much easier to fold and deep-fry them. We never had a shaped metal form to bake them in an oven. In fact, if we tried to bake them, I’d be concerned they would dry out and fall apart. As I said, you must be an expert! seesixcm6

I could belabor a ton of points pedantically
to support your position :mrgreen:

A quick note: Many people take Wiki with a grain of salt or disdain, but why is it that people claim that documentaries are valid? Most documentaries are made by people with an ax to grind and have sharp editorial content that is disguised. Anyone can make a documentary and we all have to remember the editorial point of view of the authors of the documentaries and the claims they make.

on the other hand .. now i’m nervous …

… if there’s a high vot, maybe they’ll check to see if voting is valid .. and maybe discount anything from disposable email sites.

It may have something to do with the size of the burro’s ear. If you have ever seen a burro up close, their ear are huge compared to the rest of their body. And fold like a giant taco, Perhaps this is what they are referring to when talking about the burro’s ear.

People who take Wiki with a grain of salt or disdain based due to the prevailing vogue are equally empty headed as those who take Wiki as accurate without question (myself).

If the info has more than entertainment value, much cross checking is required, but even so .. Wiki is an excellent starting point.

Additionally, the person on YT challenged you to look up:
“Ignacio Anaya’ and/or ‘Nachos’ in the Oxford English”

I did. In the first case, staying within context of your video, Nacho is not a Burrito. Even if it were, the date given for the Nacho is 1943, which is 9 years after the use of the word Burrito in English, not 1910 as he claimed.

Your carefully worded and researched video remains valid.

Oh yes, James ,
Paki’s are your burden to bare.
I can feel your pain :sad:

mijj, I agree with your points.

did marina ever say why her nickname is koBA RRR :?:

Hi mijj, although that is a good idea for many occasions, one needs to be careful when using it for contests. Many contests know of these sites and block them.

Most ISPs give you at least 5 or more email addresses, and it is wiser to create an email using your ISP, and then ditch it later.

do you like to gamble marina :?:

Hello my dear Teacher..could you tell me the origin of the term “Hamhanded”?

Well, I was originally going to request you do the word ‘Sesquipedalian’, but it was already suggested and approved.. so here are a few other words I enjoy using, occasionally in my writings at school.

Deipnosophist- One who excels in conversation at the dinner table.

Callipygian- Having beautifully or elegantly shaped buttocks.

..Gotta love confusing your teachers with a superiority complex :grin:

My comment about the word in Spanish: In Spanish exist the word “burro” it means donkey, or ass (only the animal). The word burr + ito (burrito) -the noun + the suffix- also refer affect to the donkey OR it has a diminutive worth.
Also the word burrito in Spanish language means the food that you know, and one orthopedic instrument for people whit troubles walking.
The Real Academia de la Lengua Española (important institution about the spanish language), says that “burrito” become from “burro”. Burro become from “borrico” and this one from the latin burrÄ«cus burÄ«cus.
Note: I am learning English, my native language is Spanish

Great job that you are doing. :grin:

James old Man,
Perhaps if you were to start out with a little easier ……ah ..lets say horse
to learn to ride on. . Before you try and jump right in to riding rough stock at the NFR finals in Vegas. You are dooming your self for utter failure and get kicked in the head for your troubles . But don’t feel put out, I doubt their is a Cowboy here could put 8 on that little filly aether. And I will bet their are 2 or 3 done crawled away carrying their ass in their hat ..too. Here is how I started my kid to Rodeo.

:roll: Hi Russian Goddes, you are so gorgeous that any word I could use would not be enough for such beauty as you. My respects, my love and tenderness for you Marina.
Well the word I would like to know is bullshit. Where it came from. If you separete the word, bull shit, the meaning is clear, but, bullshit has another meaning. What is the origin of this.
Thanks a lot. :

Great job that you are doing.
No necesito para usted a decir eso ( that )
Great job you’re doing.
What a great job you are doing.
You are doing a great job.
Great job.
Trabajo rico :lol:

Thanks

My nickname is Koba… was little mermaid when I was younger… but why the word nick in nickname?
Did you miss a video? click on the blue

:cool: My main language is English and all I know is I like burritos. I don’t care about where the word comes from. Burritos tastes good. Yummy!!

Did you mean snoz or snots? Snots are just,well let’s not go there. The word is so yuky.

:lol:

Jami DF,
!Mucho Gusto! Le agradezco por Ud. clarificacion. !Ud. Ingles is muy bien–claro y correcto!

Por disgracia, yo no puedo hablar in Espanol fluentemente. Sino, yo voy a practicar mas en el ano entrente (Lo siento, yo no se hacer el tilde encima del N en “ano”, o el accento en el O por “clarificacion”.)

Chaio

If you want improve or learn languages I suggest you to use http://www.livemocha.com. I use this web page, I think that it is excellent.

Jamid F.

Marina, the Mexican guys I work with say the burrito looks like a donkey’s penis which is why “burrito” is slang in Spanish for the male organ.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Organ_Company
But I guess you weren’t aware of that? Of course not!

Your homework has some definite Freudian implications. :twisted: Good girl! No wonder you are number 1!
FWIW, NTIM, I like Tacos, nice and meaty, very little lettuce, no red sauce and with lots of cream and natural juices dripping out…. make of it what you will….

Some other foods we eat in America that didn’t originate in their home countries: Chop Suey and, as you said, American style pizza. In Italia pizzas are generally an antipasto, not an entire meal.

:lol: hey who is the housewife she is pretty and has a nice arse

Yeah, I prefer fajitas > soft tacos > burritos :razz:

It seems that most Tex-Mex burritos have beans, rice, meat, etc. (Etc could be sour cream, cheese, lettuce, tomato, sauce, guacamole, etc.)

Sometimes soft tacos have beans too, but they rarely (if ever) have rice. Interesting enough, the Taqueria here around San Francisco serves their tacos with corn tortillas–the owners are from Mexico.

Fajitas ALSO have the smaller flour tortillas, but usually just have meat and grilled veggies…and they’re more expensive :wink:

!Gracias Jamid!

:roll: :grin: :cool: Oh,yeah!!!

I think you meant nice personality. :grin:

yes that too :lol:

and she is a good cook :lol:

Now if only she could land a gig on network television. Her ratings would be fabulous!!

She has potential!! :smile:

she is a good singer :grin:

Let’s not get carried away. She might sound OK with a full orchestra behind her and wearing a killer outfit.

she is at 257 now

OK Marina give it up.
The Kizil-Koba Cave (The Red Cave) is the biggest in Crimea.
Does it have to do with the Red Cave?. Being you were a Red Head at one time and the water there.?
And or the Gold Fish ( Mermaid ) by Stanislaw Koba.
Tell James or Capman I do not care just tell someone………

p-l-e-a-s-e :shock:

wow, james and rrr, those were some great examples of ethnically offensive statements. free speech is so valuable, it lets you know who the ignorant are.

have you ever tried her meatloaf that she is getting out of the oven it is the best and she is a good singer without the orchestra

no, I meant snozberry. Haven’t you ever seen willy wonka?

Nah. I’ve only eaten her baked chicken,french fries,and vegetables. They were a meal to die for! :mrgreen:

Nice research R3… You want my prediction? Did you listen to the Maxim radio show? Our teacher is releasing her book next year. My prediction is that the answer will be in the book. :grin:
Am I right, or am I right? (I’m never right about these things :sad: )

A soft shell taco or burrito is my favorite. The tortillla chips are my favorite though. :mrgreen:

Marina, is the love letter contest over?

you could be right about that :?:

a word request, Marina.
*ruthless* – Condi’s tag for any foreign leadership that objects to our military efforts to spread peace and liberty to a world yearning to enjoy our western values. :grin:
There is hope, hopeful, hopeless.
Ruth-ful? What does it mean to have ‘ruth’. Is it biblical?
Thanks for another clever and entertaining lesson.
Pizza was invented in Boston, Chicago, or New York. Not Italy. I heard the pizza there is not too good.

You are very correct Buzzy.
There are some that think if they just keep pure and clean thoughts people will be wonderful and happy to each other and then the Utopia they want to see the world become will moralistically happen. But as most ostriches find out. Even with their heads in the sand and with only their asses left out to solve their problem ……well needless to say, The problem is still there, only now much bigger and much worse .
So now that Do-Goods have shown the world what a paper tiger the US is now. ..Smoke’um if ya gots’um boys…they will be hit’n us at day break. May God have mercy on us all.

marina why is your nickname . . it is a nice nickname i like it but why do people call you , . thank you marina :lol:

where does the word sushi come from?

-Marina Alexis :grin:

She might do better if she doesn’t get first place. Why? Because marketers don’t care who gets first place, its all random selection. Just look at Jay. He had first place and the 8th place became the grand prize winner. There was someone else here that didn’t get placed properly. Who was that?

So its cool that Marina is in the contest but I wouldn’t put much effort to it. Its rather easy to get free trips Vegas without entering any contest. I lost count on how many trips I’ve turned away. :neutral:

One hour of voting left for Sunday, then we go into Monday a new voting day. ref: East coast time zone.
Marina has 258 votes. She needs 195 votes to be in 1st position.

:sad: :sad: OK marina i will never ask again i understand they didn’t have to beat me up that bad did they

Gold fish? LOL
Did anyone notice how Marina distracted
us once again, with a lesson about food??
Taco Taco Burrito!

i prefer softshell taco`s.

marina i would like to know the origin of the word “tutor”,marina i know your a very smart woman but did you ever have to be tutored at anything?

rrr, what in the hell does that have to do with your statements regarding latinos? please keep your retorts concise, i make a simple infuriating remark and you respond with a nebulous diatribe with few specifics, vague ramblings and peculiar imagery. you should take some pointers from prospero and aLx. their arguments are much more organized and clear. making a point is just that, minimal, precise, effective. you consistently respond by vomiting out everything that you’ve been swallowing. your opinions are just a mess of half consumed information and burritos.

Hi Marina,

I prefer the cream corn and mini-marshmallow BURRITO at Chef Bigbelly Gonowhere Cafe (breakfast time) with a side of smoked mussel chocolate sauce for dipping. It’s something different that’s for sure. You gotta try it first with your eyes closed or you’ll barf!

Tacos are

Tacos are good too, but, the hot sauce always drips out… making a mess.
They should make them with “flaps” on the end to catch all of this… or make miniature ones that you can easily toss into the old “hatch”.

I heard that the Caesar salad was invented at a hotel restaurant in Tijuana, Mexico. Anybody know this to be true? or was it somewhere else?

Where did the expression “I’ll take the whole enchilada” come from?

some male behavior on hfw is very similar to primate behavior.

hey marina, I think the pizza reccete was invented in china long time ago, wasn’t it?

Marco!

Like I said “store bought”, but you were making from scratch, cool; though I’m not sure they were tortillas. It’s almost impossible to use a rolling pin (not enough force & the dough would stick) you’d have to use a tortilla press or the bottom of a plate as a ‘press’, or maybe some system of wax paper–but even then the falling apart problem would have been too much. Now frying them while they’re dough & moist wouldn’t work either–they’d just fall apart. You would have to ‘bake’ them on a hot plate, skillet or pan then you could form them into shape using oil in a pan but after they’ve been cooked already. Most likely you were using Maseca to make whatever you were making–I’ve met that family; but, really there are no experts just people still learning (always). To your original point of oil & frying being bad that is a myth, using ‘good’ oil is a great way to cook and food absorbs little done right, using bad oil or lard is a different story.

Thought I heard a hint in your article about burritos that maybe pizza is not from Italy. Can you comment on that? I was told it was a way to get rid of bread dough and tomato sauce at the end of the day and was given to the poor. They told me the GI’s brought it back from the war. What’s the real story?

This surprises you? :)

Burrito vrs Taco—The better of the two depends on who make ‘em. The lime or ash helps the skin of the corn to be removed and the groat[grit] binds to make corn tortilia. from Sp.-torta cake Is there a rye burrito? Why flour and not flower? “let’em eat cake” :lol:

TACOS TACOS TACOS :shock:
I KNEW THAT THE BURRITOS WERE’NT FROM HERE (MEXICO) BUT MY FRIENDS DID’NT BELIEVE ME, NOW THANKS TO YOU I’M GONNA BE ABLE TO PROVE I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN RIGHT
THANK YOU MARINA, I LOVE YOU.

Hi, I already posted in youtube, but I wanna request a word.
U refeared to “gringos” in this video, I already know what gringos are, I’ve been mexican the last 20 years… But I wonder where the word came from, nobody here has ever been able to explain me… Please.

Marina has 280 votes, but has slipped back to 3rd place. :sad:

torts–flour or corn–hard or soft–bread the liver and fold over to reach the cheese [Spanish were the first dairy farmers on this continent and thus the first beef breeders. When it comes to classed food relating to the races, just make the traits to custom ordered. Hurry, hurry for I want food. Dope and dollars and eat till you are cultivatated. CULTURE

I will add that BURRO “donkey” in Spanish is connected to BUREAU “desk, office” in French.
Both words are tied to the concept “brown” : the Burro is brown and the desk is covered with a brown cloth.
What more in French BOURREAU means “hangman” and is also connected to the same concept : the hang man was clad with brown leather for protecting him from the blood.
In France BOUREAU is also a surname inherited from an ancestor whose hair was brown.

I love ‘BURRITOs’!!!!
They are best because you can make any food combo into a ‘BURRITO’!!!
By the way. ‘PIZZA’ as we know it now. with all the sauces and cheese, is what comes from America.

I would also know about the words
‘Nymph’ and ‘Notorious’
Thanks Teach!!! :grin: :grin:

Hi Captn, A lot of what you say is true, and I understand where you are coming from. Each contest has it’s own quirks. In this contest, the finalists field is very small, where other contests have too many finalists, making the chance of winning very small as was the case with Jay.

This contest has the 3 highest voted-for videos enter the finals. So it is a 1 in 3 chance that Marina can win, which is a lot better than being a 1 in 20 finalist.

Entering contests has many more benefits that just the monetary reward, which this one does have, besides the trip. It provides a level of exposure to many more people, keeps one’s craft (video production, writing, etc) keen and an assorted other personal goals. I’m pulling for Marina to win this one. :smile:

I always thought a little donkey was called an “asset.”

I like burritos best. Not so messy to eat, and they stay together better when you toss one across the cafeteria to your friend.

Who called it Dope :?:

Cute socksandviolins :-)

I like them both equally, with lots of refried beans. Of course, no one likes me eating the refried beans… :lol:

ochin ploha! HOLA MARINA, Burritos are from mexico, this time your research was wrong. the burritos were invented in the city called “ciudad Juarez” in the mexican state of Chihuahua
they called burritos because this kind of food were transported and distributed using a donkey crossing the Bravo River in the times of mexican revolution 1910 – 1921. the burrito is a taco but with a biger tortilla.
“wheat tortilla” IS MEXICAN!, you must search in wikipedia the word “burrito (comida)”

concise?? really ? I will try to use less ignorant words from now on just for you. Maybe you would like it better if I wrote in Spanish. ( Latino ) But
you win, You are right there are no Mexicans here in the USA. What could I have been thinking. And you used the most words in you retort to say nothing at all. You are rather prolixious :lol:

I like Tacos, Teach, but now you have made me hungry! Wait??? How did we get the word “hungry” for both an appetite and a country??? Well this ever end? Please investigate…

Strastoicha, Marina! Kak dela? I’d like to request a word I came across a long long time ago and have never heard used in regular speech … well, by anyone other than me anyway:
Tenesmus
The funniest or most offensive definition I came across in a dictionary was: a sudden or violent urge to deficate or urinate with the straining yet unsuccessful attempt to do so.
Just the fact that someone came up with this word amazes me. I believe it’s Greek derivation, but I haven’t looked it up in ages.
Enjoy you videos, and glad to see you are successful at what you do.
It’s all about the love…

For the last time! The country is called Hungary not Hungry! I live here and I hate the english name. We have a nice name for oursalves, why cant other nations use that? Magyarország.

You are correct. I should given it more thought. :oops: My only excuse is the early hour, but I’m not sure I would not have made the same mistake later.

Thanks for pointing it out. I wonder why other nations do not use the name you have given yourselves?

Please, please Marina – why the apostrophes in “Burrito’s” or “Pizza’s?” True, an etymologist is not a grammarian – but so many look to you for, well, inspiration.

I even learned how to pronounce it.

Marina,

We all know you know that Pizzas come from Greece… speaking of greece I do have a question … regarding the word Philanthropy… when did love for mankind turn into giving people money :?:

now im hungry :oops:
my first job was at a mexican restaurant
keep in mind, in australia, mexican cuisine isnt as popular as it is in america. and usually its very mediocre fast food-like. but the restaurant i worked at was very classy, wine glasses and all. LOL.
i made burritos every single day! and tostadas, enchiladas, flautas, nachos, el burros… the list goes on.

awww. i was going to request the word ‘spam’ but i see its already been done :(
:oops: :oops: :oops:

PS. if alx sees this, i apologise for not replying to your old comment from.. a day ago, or two days ago.. i only just realised, it was in my spam!

how come some messages from hotforwords.com went to my spam folder that day :(

i like marina :mrgreen:

actually this might be a good time to ask people..

what does philia mean?
as in, necro and pedo?

i googled it but it kept giving me names like ophelia and stuff. i know phobia means a fear of, and my understanding of necrophilia and pedophilia is that its kinda like.. an extreme love.. maybe bordering on the illegal kind? or maybe it means its… a sexual type of thing..

and what other philias are there?

:)

I think philia is something you like or love… or something like that, there are hundreds of others….hydrophilia, PHILOlogy,thermophilia can’t think of anymore but there are many..

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/-phil- there you go :lol:

Yes, PLEASE, Marina! Who is that lovely? It takes quite the woman to even get noticed on YOUR site, when she is in the company of the queen of gorgeous.

Marina, Pizzas come from either Greece or the Vikings. I’ve seen evidence of both, but not any clear dates.

The Italians were just the first to use tomato sauce on a pizza.

Which do I prefer, tacos or burritos?

I prefer the “whole enchilada”…

Totally don’t get your reference here, unless you’re just trying to squeeze in a ‘pot’ reference & if that is the case you’re the only one with the giggles. :neutral:

Good one consage! When I first wrote the description I wrote “The burrito’s not Mexican?…. The pizza’s not Italian?” But then I thought about it.. and changed it to what it now reads and left the apostrophes in by mistake. The burrito is Mexican food… where it was invented is what I wanted to talk about.

Thanks for pointing that out, as I completely overlooked it! Extra credit for you :-)

I would like to ask for a word: “PROBATIONARY”,

oh yeh .. good thinking …

hey, i already requested this a couple of days ago, but i don’t even think that u have read it : where does the word ‘rucksack’ come from ? please explain :mrgreen:

it comes from the ancient-greek (not sure if it’s in modern greek too) ‘philo’, which literally means ‘to love’, so foxbow’s completely right. :smile:

I TOLD YOU THAT FOXBOW15 ! :p

Well, Marina, you finally have backed me up on something I’ve been telling people for years, that the burrito is not even Mexican, and that the name implies that the burrito is made from donkey meat (well you didn’t say that, but the name would start you thinking… HHmmm!). And I’ve never met a Mexican who would agree that the word ‘enchilada’ really means anything either. It’s just another American neologizm for the purpose commercialization.
Hey, Marina… Remember when you made the video about common mistakes people make and how it sends chills up and down that alluring narrow back of yours…? (e.g. your when they should say you’re). Well, I think you made one of those common mistakes at the end of this video :shock: :shock: :shock: But, maybe it’s just my opinion, SO maybe you could research it for me. You said, “Which do you like better”?, and I know everyone says that. But, I’ve always thought it should be “like more” (the way they say in other languages, like Spanish [e.g. Cual te gusta más?, which do you like more?]). The reasoning is that liking something is a quantitative ability, not a qualitative ability. “Which do you play better, the trumpet or the guitar”? vs. “Which sound do you like more, the trumpet or the guitar”? So, am I just nit-picking ( hey, there’s one for you to investigate, hotty for words :mrgreen: ) or am I correct in insisting upon this correction. I’ve given up correcting everyone around me long ago… Now that the king is dead and the land across the Atlantic has become industrialized, no one cares about making sure they speak the king’s English anymore and anyway. mmmmmmMMMMMWAH! (Hey, you don’t do that anymore :sad: )

Hello my Dear Teacher,

I heard an American tennis star refer to Maria Sharipova as “another one of those ‘ova’ girls” and I became intrigued. I was familiar with her beauty and that of Anna Kournikova. Now, as our newest beautiful “ova” girl, I would like to know if the suffix of like Russian names indicate a particular geographic area in Russia where all the women are blond and beautiful, or if the “ova” implies beauty.

Respectfully,
Your Dear Student

Can you please find the origin of the word “working out” because I’ve been curious about this for a long time while I go to the gym or work out. I’m sure you should know since you certainly must know how to work out with your tremendous body. Do you have to go literally WORk OUTSIDE or what? The results also have names such as “cut”, “ripped”, and “yolked”.

Help Teacher!

Thanks

I always thought burritoes were more messy since all of the ingredients inside.

What can’t she do? Super Teacher dawg.

No you were talking abouth phElia :mrgreen:

Interesting. What Marina has described as a burrito is now often called a taco (or “soft” taco) in Mexican culture. And it is basically the same thing as a shoarma, kabob, or gyro (“yiro”), etc.

Hi Misstress9nine. Could you please give us or me a little history as to when the name changed or was it always called Magyarország. Is Hungary the translated version into English. When I was in high school that’s all we were taught that your country was called Hungary. I wish then they would have taught us the proper name of Magyarország. I’ll be your first student and listen well. I like Bobsully went to the site he suggested and listened to how it is pronounced and it is a beautiful name. :smile:

Hello misscupcake :smile:
Regarding:
“how come some messages from hotforwords.com
went to my spam folder that day”

Most spam filters are inadequate. They are either too aggressive where friendly email ends in the spam bucket or not aggressive enough where we have to sort through the spam.

Some spam filters have settings where you can change the degree of aggressiveness. Usually, when the spam filter is set too aggressively, ordinary common words like “hot”, “superb”, “real estate” and many others are flagged as spam.

Check your ISP’s web based control panel and look for spam settings. You may see controls that you can change. :smile:

Oh yeh! :grin:

.. the original “HotForNumbers” girl .. beat M by .. erm .. 25 years?

Isn’t it just the female form of the -ov ending for males?

Petrova=Daughter of Peter

Of course ova also means an egg in the latin languages, so here is a riddle appropriate to your name, pig-in-a-poke.
Q. What is the difference between involvement and commitment?
A. It’s like the traditional English breakfast of eggs and bacon – the chicken was involved in it’s preparation but the pig was committed.

It is also true of many other countries:

Österreich / Austria

This might be a good lesson for Marina to tackle.
Why are there so many names for different countries?

If I remember correctly, Germany has the greatest number of different names of all countries.

You too, huh? It is freaky isn’t it?

@ RRR but from what translation or language does it come from to mean little mermaid? In Russian Koba is the same as in English. HMMM

I honestly don’t know OKFN. :sad: If I guess wrong then I might offend. So one day you’ll tell me. I’ve read most of your comments and speculated that your a gent, but the “and I hate to bring up old memories” comments Cha Cha made and the sites he provided said otherwise. I’ll treat and admire you like other friends on here until I really know for sure. :smile:
Mike

Bruce Springsteen aka “the boss”
was very popular in Russia when
Marina taught school, I’m guessing.
Since one translation of Koba is
“the boss”, I figure her students
called her koba, as a tribute to
Bruce springtein (not Stalin).
Inquiring minds want to know

I saw that too RRR. I was going to go look at the other vid and see if she had on the same outfit. If she does she made both vids on the same day. She’s getting very good to turn out two or three a day then all she has to do is rest and then up load them when needed. Works for me.

Very good, Bob, I came to the same conclusion after I put away the idea of a geographic region for genetically superior female beauty.

One thing I’ve learned there is that one definition of rape is actually wrong. (“the unlawful compelling of a woman through physical force or duress to have sexual intercourse.”) Because it can also go the other way around! :o
Actually, I only go there to pick up chicks, because most of the members are female and desperate. :D I’m not picky, haha…

I also gave a search on Dictionary.com for Raping to get a definition.. and I got this : “To learn more about Raping visit Britannica.com” =))

That sounds good to me. :smile:

Yes your exactly right . They know gambling is addictive and people will play for fun. So they know they can play with that addiction.

Since I stated in the ‘Repair’ lesson, I like to eat Tacos on Tuesday. I want to state that I don’t eat at any American/Mexican taco joints. i.e. Taco Bell, Taco Time, Azteca, etc. Those are not real Mexican restaurants. I request you try to eat at one of those taco stands on the side of the road. You know the places where genuine Mexicans eat at. The places that server tacos that are only like the size of a coffee coaster. Yea you have to eat like 6 of them to fill yourself up. They are small because they are for lunches or snack food, But my gawd they are so awesome!! My favorite is steak tacos with lots of cilantro, onions and squeezed limes. OH man that stuff is good. I wash it all down with that white stuff.. hmmm I forget what they call it. It has coconut milk and cinnamon. It helps with the burning of the hot peppers. :mrgreen:

I do eat Burritos from time to time. :grin:

probably American, cause i’v never seen them here or in any other european country, i’v only seen them on movies that play in America….. :???:

Taco flavored kisses: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ja5qOR-eyFo

Gosh-darn-it Jack, I mentioned the last time you posted this that it’s called horchata and it’s not coconut it’s rice powder, together with vanilla & cows milk, + sugar + cinnamon + water. So, they really don’t use coconut for horchata (the “h” is silent). Not remembering the name is normal but do recall that it is RICE not coconut–think of it as liquid rice pudding.

Ehh Mexican food isn’t really my type. :neutral:

Marina,
Can you investigate the origin of the Cesar Salad?
regards
Juan

Try Aqua de Coco if you like coconut milk, don’t buy the stuff in cans, wait until your next trip to Mexico

Hey now that your hear. About tacos, those little tiny ones, are they called tacos or some other name? I hate that they would be compared to a Taco Bells version of… whatever that tortilla thing is.

Never been to Mexico. :sad: But it is on my list of places to go. :grin:

OMG! Its 12:05 am PST, and Its TACO TUESDAY! I wonder if there is a roach coach serving early a.m. tacos? :mrgreen:

Damn I guess Im going have to settle for a late night Vietnamese spring roll. Can someone please pass the seaweed?
Yea I know spring rolls don’t have seaweed in them, but its not your spring roll now is it?!?!? :mrgreen:

Yeah, the little ones are tacos also or you can call them little tacos or taquitos, a word which we (U.S.) normally use for rolled fried tacos which they would call duros (hard).  Mexicans are totally open to regionality; so, if one thing is called something different somewhere else they might think that’s normal–even if in the U.S.
Jack, sounds like you & I would eat at many of the same places, I love low-end (some of the best food) & high-end (some of the most hyped) as long as there is food sense & ‘technique’ I’m in–especially ethnic. I’ve been to Chinese, Vietnamese, Middle Eastern (mostly markets), Latin etc. where no one there spoke English, and that was in the States. As Paris H. would say, “Loves it!”

Some canned coconut milk can be great! Even some from Mexico, but fresh is better, so, the next best thing is to buy a coconut at the supermarket. Many have a few (hidden off the most travelled path) and they can be great pretty fresh & not that expensive–most are from Thailand.

I prefer tacos over burritos, Mexican style (using soft tortillas instead of fried shells), because it is more flavorful and healthy than using flour tortillas or deep fried shells. But, let’s widen our horizons, amigos. You might be wondering, is the Hispanic culture the only one that makes tortillas? Good question because the answer is no. Norwegians make a tortilla using wheat flour and potato that they call lefse. The flavor of a regular flour tortilla is bland. The flavor of lefse is light and somewhat sweet because of the potato ingredient. It can be used for savory or sweet fillings, or with just butter. You think you have self control? :???: :smile: :grin: :lol: It is impossible to resist lefse, especially fresh off the stove. It’s actually impossible to keep people from invading the kitchen and eating up all the lefse, so the lefse cook must endeavor to produce her lefse when the menfolk are not at home. It is the crack cocaine of tortillas. http://en.wilipedia.org/wiki/lefse [Now that I've let the cat out of the bag, so to speak, it might be better for society if we made lefse illegal because it is so addictive.]

You kinda scared me a little at the beginning with the small ass and burrito thing, since Mexican food is commonly associated with diahrea.

But off that thought, I like burritos better than tacos. :mrgreen:

There is a real good Mexican Restaurant near Kettle Falls, WA very near the Canadian border. Maybe you can get there by boat if you had a Viking long boat.

I’d never heard of Magyarország. I am familiar, of course, with Deutschland, Schweiz (la Suisse), Italia, and practically every other European country’s true name. Shockingly, in France, the French word for France is France. :roll:

Reminds me that I haven’t seen any burros or burritos over in Red Rock Canyon (just west of the Las Vegas Valley) for awhile. I saw several burros together one year on Christmas Day. I think they were making burritos…

My favorite is the chimichanga. My least favorite is the tamale. I prefer burritos over tacos. I can’t even remember some of the other names given to Mexican tortilla products. Getting back to chimichangas, the best one I ever ate was at Annie’s Santa Fe many years ago in Kansas City on the Country Club Plaza. It was a crab meat chimichanga. Absolutely delicious! I wonder what the etymology of “chimichanga” is? I’m pretty sure that crab meat is not a typical ingredient in Mexican foods! I’ve never seen crab meat in anything remotely “Mexican” since the 1980s….

:grin: Hee haw!

I have no idea where your source is coming from with what you just said on the burrito argument, but the burrito comes from Mexico. Ok,I’ll explain, the corn tortilla was the first and the only original tortilla (tlaxcallim) of México, but after the conquest from spain to México they introduced wheat and after a few years in the northen part of México, Sonora to be exact (right bellow Arizona), someone came up with the (zauki) flower tortilla, after that came the burrito, but a burrito is a type of taco the original taco is a plain tortilla (corn or flower tortilla) with something in it folded in half, and the “burro” is the one in which the tortilla is rolled sometimes the ends are folded towards the inside other time the arent……if this doesn’t cut it for you take in consideration this, the flower tortilla is about 462 years old, the taco rughly 20 years yunger, so Texas became part of the US in the year 1836, before that Texas was a part of México so the burrito was invented in Mexico any way you put it. By the way I’m from and live in México, Sonora to be exactly so I do know what I’m talking about…….thank you

What are your sources? Often, what we think is a real etymology is not.

sorry forgot to put my references :
mainly history books from high school (privided by the schools)
La historia de un bastardo: maíz y capitalismo” de Arturo Warman.
and some web based info:
http://www.quiminet.com.mx/ar7/ar_4%25BB%25E8g%25A11%25A5%25BE.htm

and word of mouth from elderly people……

Hello daniel franco,
All that you say may be true, historically, but keep the following context in mind. The video is not a history lesson as such. It is a lesson on the word burrito and it’s etymology.

The theme of the video and key phrase occurs at 1:12 where Marina says, “Burrito first appears in the English language in 1934…”

Perhaps, it might be clearer if Marina had said, “The *word* burrito first appears in the English Language…”, however, the context of the sentence makes it clear that she is talking about the word.

I think you would agree with me, that the *English word burrito* and the *American burrito* as we know it did not exist in the 1800s.

The primary resource Marina uses is the OED and many other books.

Take a look at this link. It gives a time line of Tex Mex foods and cites many sources and book reading list. Scroll down to the heading called Burrito or click on the link Burrito in this URL.
http://www.foodtimeline.org/foodmexican.html

Some of the sources are:
Encyclopedia of American Food and Drink
Oxford Companion to Food
Oxford Encyclopedia of Food and Drink in America

Exacto…!!!

Así como el mentado “Burrito” no es mexicano, ni siquiera es un taco, paradójicamente, los cacahuates japoneses ( japanese style mani) no es del lejano oriente… El cacahuate japonés es mexicano. En 1945, Yoshigei Nakatani lo creó y hasta 1980 dominó el mercado con la empresa Nipón.

En la planta de Nipón no se escucha el ruido de las máquinas como es costumbre. La empresa está en jaque: renovarse o quedar rezagada. Y es que a decir de Claudia Chieko Nakatani, directora de la compañía, permanecen vicios operativos originados de la estructura familiar de la empresa.

Su abuelo creó el cacahuate japonés a mitad del siglo pasado en un taller del mercado de La Merced en la ciudad de México; ahí mismo se ubicaban sus clientes. “Mi abuelo iba con su diablito a vender lo que había producido en la mañana, el objetivo era sacar el día a día”.
[Fragmento del artículo de "El Universal"]

Así, que mis queridos compañeros de clase… el cacahuate japonás fue creado en México, por un japonés…!!!

Saludos…!!!

I like Chimichangas best :)

Also, what IS the origin of pizza, since you mentioned it? I always heard it was from “Pisa pie” named when a Queen was visiting Pisa, and wanted cheese in her meat pie, and normally they would have been like “WTF” but it was the Queen, so they ran and got her cheese and baked it with the meat. :P

General Pushing the Cushin says tracks are just a form of long wheel so no new gnus for ewwssssssss

What most people would call a burrito these days, I remember being calles a “zapato” (shoe). Anyone else remember that?

It was never changed, it was the name we always used, somehow they called it Hungary abroad. I only know it has nothing to do with the huns who lived there.

‘you ok… noticed the wierdness @ youtube… would it help if I unsubscribed (sosaut), or let me know if you want me to whoop someones ass, verbaly or otherwise. hey, you’re a good kid, you don’t need the hastle I know, but keep a cool head & ask Marina for help or advice.

Burritos are more better because you can make huge ones that are a real meal by themselves. catch a chicken or a pig or tip a cow and cook it up and throw some salsa and other good things in there yummy!!

I know what I want…excellent…your choice the picture comes from this [album]..ZZ Top – Tres Hombres – 07 – Precious and Grace :razz:

When did [burrito] become a verb (as it was used in the film, “Up in the Air)? :oops: :grin:
