Researchtabulistic job with todays lesson, my compliments to you Marina! :grin:

Homework: oaf, buffoon, pudknocker, butthead,
sh*t for brains, maximus lamius, snail bait,
dimwit, numbskull, mushy head, Sad Sack…
…to name but a few!

poep means …uuh shit :???: in Dutch…not a german or any other foreighner…

could you please tell me where poppycock came from? :grin:

My request word, teacher, is “mosquito” This words is the same in English and Spanish :eek:

And… “know” & “now”… because “now” is added “k” and it mean other thing… :?:

Thank you Marina! :smile:

stokesjrj1, huh?

How about: blockhead – mullethead – nitwit – lummox – dingbat – nitwit – ninny – witling – tomfool – mooncalf – jackass – etc.?

In case you don’t know what nincompoop is – here are some examples: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2PqEOMWKpxk

Hey Marina, you looked very sexy as a brunette. I love your Blonde hair too. What is your natural hair color??

I met a lot of “nOncompoops” when I was in the Navy.

Does the word “poop” as you describe it somehow relate to “poop deck” of a sailing ship? .. if so, how?

If one is going to resort to calling people names, I feel that one should at least be witty and humorous with it.
In English we have a good way of accomplishing this with the format, “a few ??? short of a ???”, for example, “a few sandwiches short of a picnic”. The humour comes from making the simile fit the person, situation or occasion, for example, a drunk might be described as a few cans short of a six-pack.
This can be extended to a ridiculous extreme if one wishes to say that someone is completely bereft of intelligence, a circus performer might be “two wheels short of a unicycle”.
Here is a site which gives a list of humorous insults in different languages.

I’ve always liked the phrase ‘blithering idiot’.

I’m not exactly sure what the verb ‘to blither’ means, but ‘blithering idiot’ has a ring to it.

I’ve heard a ‘few sandwiches short of a picnic’ ( see Bob’s below ) but I’ve also heard ‘a few ants short of a picnic’ as well as ‘a few cards short of a deck’.

With any of these phrases its the thought that counts. :wink:

Yo Marinaa ! :p I wanted to know where the word “fire” came from

Dear Marina, what a nice orange dress, and you looked great in that small bikini and also in that blouse with American flags! What? The video is about this word? Only a nincompoop would be distracted by the messenger and ignore the message, so I better do your homework: synonyms would include doofus, jerk, schmuck, turkey, and many other words that I wouldn’t use near such a wonderful lady as yourself. Also, you don’t act like a nincompoop at all, your sister is not a nincompoop! Your dear student, seesixcm6

hello dear, where did the word Tallywhacker cum frfom?

When did you get a birthmark? It’s kinda funny because it looks kind of cute, but i have never seen it before. And also OH MY GOD! NOT A NATURAL BLONDE!!!

Wow, that sure is a weird word. I want to know as well!

Hello Marina,
Did you mean to say 1st century as opposed to 16th century when referring to Nicodemus? I can’t find any reference to a Nicodemus in the 16th century.

Do you want to see a funny? Go to http://www.etymonline.com/
Then in the search box, enter, nicodemus.
Guess what pops up? nincompoop

Blither is probably a variation of blether, which is Scottish dialect for speaking, chatting or gossiping.

duh. default search mode is obviously a full text search. so?

enter “pedantic”. guess what pops up, among others? “rhinoceros”.

Now that the DNC is having its Convention this week the term that comes to mind is;

A naive person easily fooled into believing some pie in the sky rhetoric,,
in turn going out among their brethren and excrete said poop as fact.

Marina,

Sister Words isn’t a nincompoop. :neutral:
She’s a party poop. :smile:
Here you had a great big and wonderful achievement. :lol: :lol:
And she didn’t even give you a recognition video. :mad: :mad: :shock:

LOOK OUT SHE HAS A KNIFE!! :wink: :wink:

You are correct, but it struck my funny bone when I saw it pop up.

It’s similar to that gag Google page where you type in a phrase (I forget what it was) something like “incompetent leader” or something like that and it comes up with Bush.

Amadán, Head the Ball, Cretin, Cabage, Feckin Eejit, Sh1t for Brains, Spacer, Gom,

hm, i just know about the “weapons of mass destruction” search when this page popped up.
not anymore, though. too bad.

349 but in 3rd place.
Medal round, but let’s go for gold.
452 is 1st place.

Hi foxbow15, maybe Marina could clarify as she didn’t mention any dates when referring to the word “poep” meaning to fool, deceive and cheat.

I’m only speculating, but maybe these earlier meanings then evolved into what we know it as today, referring to excrement. Over time, a deceiver might be looked as a piece of excrement and that’s how we know it today.

Hopefully Marina can offer some insight. I came up empty handed trying to research it.

My god. Toatally forgot to look out for this one. was still busy commenting on the lat one!

OK 354.
Time to go schizooo.
361 is 2nd place.

Don’t even try to understand Stokes. You would need to take some hallucinogens first.

They put the halts to that page didn’t they?

hi Marina,>>>>i want to ask you about this word,But please dont miss anderstand.I just want to know from where this word(d i g) come from……………………please dont miss anderstand.You are the only one ho can answer me . :roll:

What happened to the 5 stars we could give? I noticed they have been gone a while

I have been asking for fire for ages!!

hey, mike. i don’t know. it’s been quite a while. but, yeah, most likely they did. idiots. :/

OK, I found one of those gag pages. The gag is actually has to be invoked by the “I’m Feeling Lucky” button.

Go to Google, enter this: find chuck norris.
Don’t press enter or click search, but click “I’m Feeling Lucky”.

I hope she is a natural blonde. I think she is, alot of people from russia/sweden/etc etc are blonde.. and very beautiful. Not like some of the dogs we get in the uk.

Only a nincompoop would be distracted by the messenger and ignore the message

In my videos I often get distracted by msn and ignore the message!! thanks..

WAIT! How do we know that the first example is a false etymology? It seems to make far more sense than than the second. How do you turn Nicodemus to ‘NIN’?

Load!
Aim! …

That was friendly fire. :lol:

You look like Cathrine Zeta Jones with black hair.

Dunce, knot head, rocket scientist, dolt, oaf, punk, loser, twit, I may have duplicated someone else, but that’s all I can think of right now.

And the Teacher’s Pet?

They didn’t really count towards anything on this site James. It counts on You Tube so they have them for accountability. Marina took them off to help speed up the site.

hitman! dude! where you been? hey, you’re russian, explain that коба thing, damnit!

Yea I second that motion or request or ultimatum :grin:

If you have to go to my web site attached to my name an leave me an email.

i think u should do the word
pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis,

Welcome back, Hitman.
You been in deep cover?

lol. Yeah, I hope yet doubt she’s a natural blonde. Her eyebrows are black if you look at the top of the screen. She’s still gorgeous either way. She actually looks like a typical hot American chick

Long time Alx…
What is the problem with коба?

problem is, i don’t know what the hell it means. it’s in no dictionary, yet it exists. there must be another meaning to it other than maya riuns and a character in a book. damn. what does it mean?

err … ruins.

that is all for now.

Sorry ‘ i meant the latest lesson “nincompoop picture, top right column,………………….
A picture speaks a thousand words where did this saying originate?

1 as above
2 I’m cutting my hair
3 My hair is this color down there
4 snale mail is dead
5 whatever a persons mind can imagine

However with that picture and the blooper at the end of the video, would seem to suggest that you may want to review or edit your videos yourself. Is this the result of Two sisters fighting?

I have multiple word requests, hoping you’d pick one of them: react and request, because both have the re prefix without meaning to do something again which is strange. And astronaut and cosmonaut, untill the soviet union fell everyone called spacers cosmonauts here in Hungary, but after that they started calling them astronauts, why?

Yes, it was not the 16th century but the first. Jesus was born around 1-4 A.D. (anno domini). Good catch pedantickarl.

Does anyone know the name of HTW sister’s channel?

“cosmonaut” was the eastern version, “astronaut” the western version. and that’s that.

Hey mijj
I think she covered that one already in one of here radio shows.

Here you go 100percentjacob. :smile:

That was totally uncalled for… what did poor sister words do to get called a nincompoop ?! :(
Get along, you two! Or one of you will wind-up getting hurt.
Wait a minute, what does anything have to do with wind?(from the term wind-up)

geronimo it’s always nice to have you butt in and anwswer for other peoples questions , (attention whore) and try to tell others what to think.
“Don’t even try to understand Stokes. You would need to take some hallucinogens first”

If marina listens too you very much it may be why she asks “huh”, instead of a more defined question. however “huh?” can be consise.

I did my 5 again.

Ok, what are you know?

Yea, poor Kobe caught in the middle. He will become withdrawn and nervous. :sad:

The link is on the home page. she does one every other week (om friday) where she is a guest. She does a guess the origin game.
There are 12, not sure which one has ‘poop deck’

Yo Marina, do you happen to know the origin of the word “shoo-in” meaning someone who is sure to win something. :?: thanks

I want to know where this expression came from : “to toast”
And I’m not talking about no burnt bread!

he couldn’t be right on everything.

Koba is marina’s nick name. and she will not say why.

why the hell is anybody quoting this tao and lao crap? this shit doesn’t make any sense. and, no, i don’t have to think about it really hard. nobody has. no wisdom in bullshit.

It was the North Wind trying to get Marina to disrobe.

The North Wind and The Sun

The North Wind boasted of great strength. The Sun argued that there was great power in gentleness.
“We shall have a contest,” said the Sun.
Far below, a man traveled a winding road. He was wearing a warm winter coat.
“As a test of strength,” said the Sun, “Let us see which of us can take the coat off of that man.”
“It will be quite simple for me to force him to remove his coat,” bragged the Wind.
The Wind blew so hard, the birds clung to the trees. The world was filled with dust and leaves. But the harder the wind blew down the road, the tighter the shivering man clung to his coat.
Then, the Sun came out from behind a cloud. Sun warmed the air and the frosty ground. The man on the road unbuttoned his coat.
The sun grew slowly brighter and brighter.
Soon the man felt so hot, he took off his coat and sat down in a shady spot.
“How did you do that?” said the Wind.
“It was easy,” said the Sun, “I lit the day. Through gentleness I got my way.”

First century meaning of Nicodemus :”A fairly common Greek name
in the 1st century meaning “conqueror of the people.”
…”though some give it a Hebrew derivation meaning innocent blood.”Hebrew-Aramaic NAQIA = innocent M = blood

What are your limits then, aLx? :razz:

what’s so gentle about making a man feel hot as hell? god, how i hate those stupid little stories.

multiple orgasms.

You can’t achieve them or can’t give them?

I believe the 30th of this month. So we don’t have much longer. :smile:

geronimo, was your statement directed at me?……….”Don’t even try to understand Stokes. You would need to take some hallucinogens first.”

A command given as a misdirection?. I am not yours to command. Go suck nuts, geronimo!

Doesn’t Marina make us feel as hot as hell?
Are you saying she’s stupid?

Or deep under somebody’s cover :lol:

I want tou now more about the word “Zombie” :twisted:

I want “Brazil” Please!Pleaseeeee!!!!!!!!!
I love you!!!!!

RURAL is in Latin RURALIS “from the countryside”, adjective of RUS “countryside”.
RURAL is used in modern French.

2) LA BITE À RURAL ET LA BITE À URBAIN

I see your birthmark Marina Monroe. :mrgreen: That was a cute response to my comment. Your always thinking on so many different levels I actually have to think more to keep pace. :wink:

yes, of course. i think she’s one of the stupidest persons in the universe, what makes you believe otherwise.

logic, where art thou?

dude, for once, how about not consistently trying to drag her into all kinds of crap? i don’t understand you. for real. your questions are not only childish, they’re downright moronic.
before you told your little story, you stated that it was marina that the fucking wind was trying to disrobe, so, she’s not the sun, and therefore, in your story, doesn’t make anyone feel hot.
second, marina is, given your statement above the story, the man. did i say the man is stupid? no i did not.

but i think you’re intelligent enough to see all this. then why ask those questions? trying to put me in a position where i’m the really, really bad guy insulting and offending her, and you’re the really, really good guy defending her “honor” or something like that? lol. this is just stupid.

Norman plunderers and imperialists! :razz: :lol:

Marina, do you have a favorite or admired philologist, etymologist, or linguist? (For example: C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, et al.) Has your education, particularly your degree work, given you an appreciation for (or love of) history?

I have heard that the phrase “the whole nine yards” originates with WWII bomber crews, specifically the gunners. The ammunition for their machine guns was linked into “belts” that were 9 yards long. So to give someone the whole nine yards was to deliver all that you possibly could… to be completely spent. I have never found any evidence that would prove or disprove this explanation. Can you help?

:mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

My favorite day of the week is Monday. I used to hate Mondays back when I worked at a job that I had Saturday and Sunday off. I now tend to prefer Mondays over the weekend because so many places are crowed with people. When I take a Monday off all the parks, malls, movie theaters, lake, etc., are nearly empty. Sometimes I feel like I have the whole town to myself. I do like Sunday evenings. Its so quite, and peaceful. Number two is Tuesday because it its TACO TUESDAYS! Im not talking about that Americanized crap. Boy its making me hungry just thinking about it. :mrgreen:

word request: what is the origin of the word ‘warning’?

I went and voted today. :cool:

nice video!! i love your vidoes because they actually make learning fun!

and i have a request please, it’s not really the orgin of a word but i’m sure you could solve it! :wink:

why do the words “oversee” and “overlook” mean opposite things when looking at the words they theoretically should mean the same thing! :???:

i really hope you consider doing this

thankyou! :grin:

Marina can you in your now video tell me more about the word “Zombie”?Please Marina i need it for a thing befour school.Ill get much problem if i dont tell more about that word.Are teacher tell as tou tell more about Zombies. :cry: :cry:

Good question… for that matter why does “slim chance” and “fat chance” mean the same thing when they appear to be opposites. :mrgreen:

I think I would recognize Marina on the street if she had brown hair. I know from her younger pictures she was a brunette. But seeing her every day as a Blond and now in that grown up picture as a brunette it would defiantly have to be those eyes that would give her away. Those are some beautiful eyes. :wink:

Don’t say such things HERATIC!! :grin:

Or special mushrooms maybe?

72 more votes to beat the number one spot.

I too have been thinking about this nickname. Im beginning to think this is a no-win scenario. Like the Kobayashi Maru test on Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. Oh 2#!T :!: did I just stubble upon the link? :shock: I looked up the spelling of Kobayashi Maru to post it here, and noticed Koba. Hummm. Im willing to guess Marina, being so smart, that she would out smart guys as they would never win a debate. :???: Smart guys are always talking about Star Trek. I thinking this link makes sense. Being a Trekker, Why didn’t I make this connection earlier? :roll:

Hello dear Marina!I’d love to know the origin of the word “douchebag”!please Marina investigate! :wink:

Loved the Olympics this year, best ever IMO.

Lightening Bolt was cream of the crop but don’t remember it being this easy…. lol

Looking and seeing aren’t the same thing though. Looking is more of an active decision. If you simply open your eyes, you are seeing. If you hear something and turn around to find the source, you are looking. Also, you don’t go seeing for treasure, you look for treasure. :grin:

As in “sxephil is a…”? :razz:

Hey Im a rocket scientist! :shock: I even have a hydrogen powered rocket. :mrgreen: You calling me dumb!! Whats up with that?
LOL…

I watched Star Trek Nemesis last nigh. That was a good movie. To bad about Data though. Some how he’ll be resurrected if they make another movie.

Ok, like some of the snake rings you see made just like that.

Does the word polish have anything to do with the Polish?

66 now! Hopefully we can pull it off! :mrgreen:

Hmm… You can substitute it for wacko, fool, or dummy. However, I really don’t use these words in my everyday language.

By the way, was that your sister in the picture? :shock:

I have preferred brunette over blonds because I always thought blonds were trying to be over the top in a show off type of way. Now Marina has changed that. Im seeing blonds in a new light and it has become a new favorite of mine. :smile: I’m still kind of paschal to jet black straight hair with bangs with bedroom eyes. Anyway I like the gray stuff between the ears the most. :grin:

Your right I should have been more clear. (I was a having a stokes moment) I should have said “Marina, don’t even try and understand stokes….” I never told you what to do at all, so I don’t even know what you mean by saying “I am not yours to command” But then again, I never know what the hell you are saying. I love how you clarify you first comment. It said “latest lesson she’s saying she’s #2″ And Marina was supposed to know that meant “Sorry ‘ i meant the latest lesson “nincompoop picture, top right column,………………….

And by the way, Marina wrote “HUH?” Before I said anything genius.

The best way to save on books IMHO is to downloads e-books via torrents :wink: . If you have better source, please share.

Also, where does the origin of the words “fast food”? I didn’t know food can be fast except when the animal is not dead yet. :???: :???:

Thanks Marina

I know a lot of simple foolish people, but none on the Hotforwords web site! :cool:

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

Hi Marina,

Where does the word “arsehole” come from

Jay

Depends on what you mean by foolish. I might be one of them! haha

The first place’s video numbers haven’t moved in a while.

Hey numb nuts, its still just like i said your butting into a conversation not directed towards you my answers are worded to only be understood by those Im communcating with. That means not you. You injected that statement “11:23 am:

Don’t even try to understand Stokes. You would need to take some hallucinogens first” I was in the process of formulating my response. Note to geronimo see quote “stokesjrj1, huh?” Do you geronimo see you name or nickmane anywhere in the indicated quote? your trying to be a troublemaker. ‘

well, living in the South, goober & Gomer come to mind for simpletons…

‘course…we’re all goofy goobers… :shock:

surprise, surprise, surprise!!!… :grin:

annudder :cool:

Smart guys are always talking about Star Trek……..really?
We really do come from different worlds.
Those story’s are just so ridicules.
I know this for sure, Don’t bring up the fact that you a Trekkie on your first date
with a really Hot Chic if you are planing on a second one. Like… oh by the way I live with my Mom and I go to Star War conventions. I am Dork Skywalker ,Do you want to see my light saber?

Well, if it’s dead it can’t be healthy, it can only be healthful.

:wink: much better as a blonde Marina

ah .. you see? .. I knew it! .. I lost the line spacing cos i put the quote the blockquote thingy. And now aLx is angered.

I hope you’re happy, WordPress – you’ve tortured a sensitive soul!.

where did “psst” come from. as in trying to get someone’s attention.

Have you ever watched Man Vs. Wild? That guy is literally a beast! Also fast food is good but disgusting. :neutral:

This is an open forum and I will respond to anything I please. Your comments can not be understood by anybody, thus Marinas “HUH” Have you noticed that no one responds to your ramblings, unless it is to say “what the hell are talking about”

ah .. but interestingly .. the norman invasion words are layered on top of the original anglo-saxon substrate.

i.e. .. anglo-saxon remains for all those words to do with the basic functions of the world .. parts of the body, simple clothing, anything to do with farming, basic foul swearing, etc – e.g. .. the kind of stuff you’d grunt about in the morning.

… the norman invasion words are layered on top via … lawmaking, anything to do with pretension, .. erm .. stuff like that. – the kind of language you’d use to impress someone in a resume or in defending yourself in court.

- note .. this is a clumsy description of what may actually have a grain of truth.

isn’t the phrase you’re looking for :

voulez vous couchez avec moi?

ahem …
I don’t mean me .. i mean your phrase in the context of the quotes in the original post’s link.

Hey Jack. I have brown “bedroom eyes” ….wanna go steady? :razz:

Oh Ya, !! I also have jet black hair. :grin:

Ya except you took all the fun out of it. Your not nearly as much fun to look at at Marina. :wink:

Go to the words/lessons tab at the top. There is a link for the ar**/a** video. :smile:

Wow, that’s a good question.

In tarot, mind/intelligence/thought/analysis is represented by the suit of swords and the element air.

Stokes…Pull back on the reins !! You seem to use big lofty words and long sentences. I wonder if you do that to make yourself appear smart.
Geronimo is right. You do seem to be more caught up in trying to make yourself look brilliant. All I see is Incoherent with a chip on your shoulder.
P.S. I butted in cuz this IS a public forum and I wanted to butt in.
P.S.S. I checked my nuts and they are also numb…but thats from something else. :grin:

Hey Marina, I sent you some fan mail. How often do you check it? Must be overflowing huh?

Hello, Professor! I’d like to know if there is any word origin to laughs. Like haha or hehe or mwuahaha or bwuahaha or, in korean, kekeke. I’m guessing it’s just a natural sound that comes when laughing, but it’d be interesting if there was etymology behind it.

If not that, then uhhh… how the munch in munch, munchies, and munchkins all refer to something small.
And if not that, then how baloney got to mean something silly or ridiculous.

I like to watch that show Man verses Wild. I guess if your hungry enough you’ll eat almost anything to stay alive. :lol: Even boiled okra. :lol:

:lol: The word I hear a lot is simpleton. If a person has no common sense, they may still be intelligent-part of the time. At work,they may have all the answers to all the problems at hand. But,when they leave the office,they may have a difficult time finding where they parked their car. And they keep getting lost while driving home. This person is called a simpleton.

Annuder my wife watches that show Andy Griffith every day hour after hour. It was good when it first came on years ago, but to keep watching the same thing again I leave the room and go get on the computer. I have a tv next to the monitor so I can watch something else. I guess to each his own. :wink:

visible v. invisible ……… = opposite
flammable v. inflammable … = same

what gives, Marina?

:grin: Thanks for explaining nincompoop. Now, I’m a bit embarassed by my next request, but my curiosity exceeds my shame; where does the word “f#*k” originate. We ALL know what it means, but I don’t see it on your list so, is there any discreet way of communicating it’s etymology? Explainations abound, but only You do we trust. Thanks.

She likes to do food so baloney or bologna would be an excellent choice to do. From it being a meat to that’s just a bunch of hoohoo or baloney. Very good choice. :wink: If you ask again soon or she doesn’t answer put your word like boloney in bold letters so she can see it better. Just a little suggestion for you. :smile:

Hey, don’t be rude to your sister… :roll:

It’s a bad example for your fragile students… :mrgreen:

As a replacement for the word nincompoop we can use the words inapprehensive, obtuse, purblind, thick, imbecile…

And a word request… What is the origin of the word origin? :?:

Homework done, now I’m off… See ya!!! :cool:

cold stare? .. don’t piss off the teacher?

that was the look of analysis afoot, surely.

Hey Mijj, Here is her Flammable inflammable video if you haven’t already seen it. That might take care of part of your equation, but invisible, visible part is up to her. Just trying to of a little service for you. :smile:

http://www.hotforwords.com/2007/10/05/inflammable-flammable/

Hi mijj, she gives the answer in this great video.
She explains the different meanings of “in”.

Hi cap, we answered at just about the same time again. I watched the video first. In the video Marina does give the various meanings of “in” where in the case of invisible, the “in” means “not”.

I made like 5 emails to vote. :mrgreen: You WILL win Marina. :twisted:

lol .. i’ll bet this is the most requested word that hasn’t yet been analysed.

Hi Marina,
Not sure if you saw my response to your last video, since it quickly became older than this one. Just in case, I requested the origin of the word “Cap-a-pie”.
Thanks,
-mizu

I just voted more than 5 times today..was more like 6 or 7 so far :D

406 votes now :cool:

We must be on the same wave length or something. We can read each other minds from that great of a distance. :lol: I didn’t watch the video again, but I am glad it covered both items for Mijj.

… here’s an appropriate poem for you to be getting on with ’til Marina tuns up with the vid …

[Evidently Chicken Town - John Cooper Clarke]

Karl here is a cool song my wife put me on today by Jimmy Buffet. I thought it was rather funny and close to home. :lol:

:smile: I am sure the word you have in mind is fork. It is the utensil that you eat food with. It started in the cave man days when the man would say to his woman,”fork me some of that whale blubber”. So today,we say we eat with a fork. Mystery solved!!

wow .. thanks guys .. someone actually reads my posts!!

oh, yes it has.

wow .. thanks guys .. someone actually reads my posts!!.

In the Best Weekend video our teacher was dancing in her sleep. :shock:

But I can’t find a name for “Sleep Dancing”. :idea: :?:

There’s a song for Dancin in the Streets but not Dancin in your Sleep.

(Marina leaves #2 in the dust tomorrow) :cool: Viva Words Vegas!!

Here’s your description and etymology. By none other than James. :smile:

I read your comments all the time Mijj. You have some very excellent comments and explanations and make very good sense. :smile:

Ignoranus

Hey Teacher !
I doubt if you saw my reply to your last video, so i write back again !
I’ll request another word cause i found out regarding the word bureau i requested last time
I want to learn what quinquagesima means and it’s origin !
I wish you give me a lesson !

Well there they are the two trouble makers together at last, geronimo, meet davecodave. Ill leave you two here alone inwithin this response so you 3 can have some alone time.

Instead of flattering me, you should be punishing me for digging for compliments!!!

I’m so ashamed.

Its airplane video 465, Marina’s video 456 votes. :grin:

ok … what about …

capable v. able = same(ish)

what gives, Marina??!!

Don Imus, … now there’s a real pant load. Though Imus himself is fond of referring to certain, former guests to his shows, political types, as pant loads.

Hi Marina, My Irish Dad, now age 83, used Nincompoop
when we were kids… long ago… he also more commonly
used the word “Eejit”….
This is Irish (Gaelic) for a total Idiot, a nincompoop.

It also has a nice ring to it….
“You Eeeee- Jit, What were you thinking?”
It has a bit more of a fatherly affection to it than
some of the current USA slang. At least, I
remember it more fondly.

Other words in the same vein… thicko, moron, nitwit, gobshite

You Are Officially On Top Marina.

Took me about 18 accounts = 90 votes. :razz: :razz:

Ehh what the hell. I’ll keep going.

Everyone else should too.

Marina 471 next 468 :grin:

Hey Marina I would like to know the meaning of polyamorous. someone told me the word but wouldn’t tell me the meaning.

I voted again now it is at 491 She #1

Nice!!
In another hour, it’s another voting day and more votes to come. :smile:

Your web pages are awesome, dude. :mrgreen:

hi marina good video it was interesting i cant understand why anyone would say that Nicodemus naive he was a very highly educated man that picture of you nincompoop one on the side you look like uma therm-an in pulp fiction

So, Marina, I was watching the Olympic diving and was struck by the fact that I had no idea of the etymology of the word “somersault.” Yes, I could investigate but it would be far more fun to hear you explain it.

Thanks in advance!

yeah, thanks for ruining the chance to find out.

Wow… Nice!

marina look in to this one someone says you are a fruitcake :?:

She is now at 515!!!!!!

the vote 521 you got it toyota you are #1 :lol: have a good time marina happy for you :lol:

now she is #1 with 529 and 2nd place is at 473

Who are you going to take with you :grin: :?:

You should do the word: whatever. :grin:

Oh, a bunch of hoohoo. I like that description a lot better than standard words such as silly or ridiculous :p
Thanks for the advice, I’ll put baloney in bold with the description as “a bunch of hoohoo”. How could she resist then? ^^

I didn’t realize she liked food words though. I’ve watched the first half of her episodes (up to page 7-8), and I don’t remember a food word yet. Though I’m prone to daydreams just like in a real class T_T

didn’t read the rules, huh?

“Representatives of the Sponsor will make the final selection among the three (3) Finalists to select the one (1) Grand Prize winner, based on style, originality, skill, and humor.”

so, as i understand it, it doesn’t matter if she comes in first, second, or third.

Just messing with aLx

omg! its actually made up of real words! i thought it was just made up by kids one day or something hehe.
reminds me of thingamabob or thingymajig.

my dad made some up, he says ‘sploga’ (pronounced splow-gah) and gemundem (pronounced ger-moohn-duhm)

both words mean, yucky stuff. like vomit or sleep in the eyes or something like that.

LOL. :oops:

umm. vomit in the eyes? what?

RRR, Ok not 100% of the guys talk about ST. :roll: Im sorry that I excluded you. :sad: I never mentioned that I would talk about ST on a first date. :roll: Im not that stupid. I was referring in general conversation. :neutral: No we do come from the same world. You where born on the third rock from th e sun, aka earth and so was I.

ich mochte das zu ihr sagen
entschuldigung, mein deutsch geht… nicht… :) :oops:

word request the thing we are all saying – WORD :mrgreen:

umm, okay, i’ll copy and paste from yt. :P
“lol” is “lol”. visit any german chat room or forum … it’s always “lol”. some use ” *lach* “, though. but that’s different, it’s not an acronym.
umm. yeah.

“rofl, er hat ‘lol’ gesagt.” lol. uh huh.

ahhh, entschuldigung. ich habe mein youtube video comments nicht gesehen

ich habe lol gesagt. :)
yay!

In my opinion ABLE has nothing to do with the suffix of CAPABLE.
ABLE is 100% Germanic. There was certainly a kind of contamination after the French invasion in the year 1066 but for instance AFLI in scandinavian means ABLE (FÄHIG in German).
If somebody can bring some water to my mill I will be thankful.

I got a few words and phrases. The one I want to know the most is:

the others are:

and last one is:

Since you did nicompoop, how about “dumb.”

Hey Hot For Words. I was wondering if you can investigate the origin of the word “stoked”. People use when they are excited for something.

Thanks!

How about:

springloaded in the dumb position
not the sharpest pencil in the box
a few cards short of a deck
The lights are on, but nobody’s home

Hey hotforword can you tell me about Zobies. :twisted: :evil:

Nope, there is actually a word spelled Cap-a-pie. Meaning all points on your body from head to foot.

I have always wondered why the term “I’m in stitches” means that somebody has made you laugh and I was wondering maybe you could investigate where it came from?

I get the end now. :shock:
Marina was practicing posing for a passport photo. :wink: :wink:
(Would you believe updating her KGB credentials?) :lol: :lol:

(P.S. for Marina’s countdown, we used to use the term “10 and a wake-up” until…)

Well well! So there is. Never heard of it before.
Hotforwords must investigate. :smile:

Somebory could tell me be best translation to Spanish of the word nincompoop? Perhaps it is something like tonto, idiota….(I don’t know)

You are correct pedantickarl, I meant to say, the term Nicodemite comes from the 16th century and refers to a person who resembled Nicodemus. Whoops!

yes .. that’s right .. laugh at someone recovering from serious surgery.

You should be ashamed!

:wink: you’ve got a point there… but still although they don’t mean exactly the same thing, they are quite similar and you may expect “overlook” and “oversee” to mean slightly different things… not complete opposites though! :grin:

ANOTHER assumed identity??
I guess you just can’t be yourself :mrgreen:

Hi, What is the origin of the word odometer.
Thank you

wild guess: “shoo in” sounds awfully close to “sure thing” … maybe it’s some kind of slang-type contraction.

ooo! .. good one .. and while we’re at it…

Marina, you know that sound you make when you choke on a peanut?

what’s the etymology behind that?

Here is stokes/redhorse/Sybil just before getting on this site every day.

not any of that rhymed, melike

that was a terrible poem. :neutral:

its kind of aggravating. you didn’t say anything in your post other than the facts, nothing negative. everybody wants to post or read nothing but sweetness, like its candy for marina.

i guess to post and satisfy the children in the class room you should post like this, “Oh yippie skippie yum yums!!!!!! http://www.hotforwords.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif http://www.hotforwords.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif good news, good news!!!!!! even if our wonderful http://www.hotforwords.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif sweet http://www.hotforwords.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif adorable marina, comes in 3rd or 2nd she still has a chance at winning!!!!!! judges select the winner from the top three!!!!! http://www.hotforwords.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif wooo hooo!!!!!! i bet she’ll just charm the judges like she charms all our hearts http://www.hotforwords.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif here at hfw, hee hee!!!!! but that doesn’t mean we should all stop voting, oh no!!!!!! we all have to vote with as much love and devotion as we have for our precious delightful marina!!!!!! http://www.hotforwords.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif gosh oh golly this is just super duper news!!!!!! http://www.hotforwords.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif http://www.hotforwords.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif hugs, kisses and toe tickles, aLx”

now see, if you would have said it that way you wouldn’t get so much shit for clarifying the rules. excuse me i have to vomit now, typing that made me sick.

Thank you Marina for the clarification. :smile:

hey hitman, good to see you back.

dude, the page still works. read the content. the links are amusing.

hi, could you please find out about the word… “Homie”? :smile:

Pig-in-a-Poke ~ nincompoop This is a good definition for me. My surname is German, as is poep. Thank you Dear Teacher.

W.C Fields uses the term in “The Bank Dick”. He’s reasoning with his future son-in-law, trying to get him to steal from the bank. From memory the dialog went thusly, “You don’t want to be a mooncalf, do you? A fuddyduddy?”. “No.”. “Of course, not.”. Which brings up yet another word for your HotForWords sexpot, Marina, to investigate: Dick, as in detective.

Correction: as poep is a derogatory Dutch term for a German. Hmm, I wonder why the Dutch would say anything bad towards Germans. I heard the way you can tell a German is because you can’t tell him anything.

Maroon, doofus (I forget how its spelled), and….. is stool pigeon one? I don’t know why that popped in my head, but I forget what it means. I’m blanked out at the moment. :???:

testing one, two, three, … testing …, and the trick is to keep it from being spam. :twisted: And I sure wish I can, could’ve thought of things to make, have made Marina shine brighter through it all. :sad:

tricky, oh I gotta go

I requested some information on this many weeks ago and have not heard any reply. The word is “Charlie horse”. A very painful condition so way such a funny sounding word. I hope you don’t suffer from them while researching its origin.

Craigs_70345

Your Faux Frenchman here would like to point out that nicodème is pronounced nee-koh-dehm. The final “e” in nicodème is silent. I wonder if dotcompoop is a word? It would describe any web site put on the web by a nincompoop.

The true etymology is very simple. Nincom comes from “no income,” with the first and last letters dropped. Poop means you don’t get paid sh!t. So a nincompoop is someone who earns little or no money. :wink:

Any simpleton can tell you that the first letter of the word “no” is o.

That is an empty promise. You say your gunna leave but you wont.

Marina et al.:

I wonder (In that picture w/ her friends), if Marina was you doing the Batman dance?!?

Buzz & aLx,

I agree w/ Buzz. I don’t care if you ask me to jump off a building, if it has “yum yums” and “toe tickles” I’m sooooo there. :wink: :roll:

Bombs away!! :razz:

Mjj, Perhaps Capman would agree, but of COURSE he wouldn’t punish you…

After all, when somebody punishes themselves as well as you do, it’s like running against Bolt, the Jamacian sprinter :wink: Sometimes we just have to sit back & let people have their space so that we don’t interrupt people’s creative genius :cool:

Well, to stoke a fire is to make it burn bigger and hotter by either poking it, stirring the embers around, or putting on more fuel…like more coal, wood, or chemical like gas. When the fire is “stoked” it flares up & gets big.

Fire is often equated with the “heat” of your body being excited…people’s temperature starts to rise, their heart beats fast, they breathe faster, etc.

So, when a person is excited about something, it’s like their body was “stoked” by putting on more fuel or getting stirred up by something spectacular–like getting 100 million views or trying to win a contest :razz: I bet Marina is stoked right about now :wink:

Similarly, you may have heard “I’m on fire” or “I’m all fired up” in English, which both mean to be excited.

:mrgreen: sie sind serh nett :grin: danke for das bild.

In a movie a guy was going to explain it, he said “The romans used to…” and then he got interupted and never finnished his sentence, Duno if it’s true abouth the romas tough, maybe it’s just like you said.

That would seem to fit with the set of things entitled “yucky stuff.”

that’d be the ketchup song. nothing to do w/ batman.

can see the dance better in this version.

you’re welcome.

So I’ve been discovered huh? lol.

Seeing the ketchup dance makes me want to get some french fries!!
:wink:

On the other hand, though, I didn’t see any evidence of Marina doing that in the picture. You see, where she has the pink top and either a black skirt or slacks her forefinger and middle finger were positioned in a “V” near her eyes. It looked almost as if she were sweeping hair out of her eye with the “V”, or the peace sign, just as Batman does in his dance from the first post.

However, the ketchup dance is different…VERY catchy and fun, but different :smile: They first do some scissors-like motion with both hands in front of their body, followed by shaking their fists at the shoulders (as if they were shaking bottles of ketchup), followed lastly by putting one hand on the forehead and the other behind the shoulders as their knees knock together. I have no doubt that Marina would choose to do the much more stylish ketchup dance, yet there’s no movement with the “V” fingers around the eyes characteristic of the cheesy Batman dance :lol:

how about this?

Hello Bob,
Yes, I agree, humor dulls the point.
All cruelty springs from weakness. – Seneca(4 B.C.- A.D. 65)

I liked that serious look- she looked a bit dangerous.
Smiles are great but intense thoughtfulness is sexy.

Bob, this little back and forth was almost the same as in the movie Serenity. What’s that saying- Life imitates art. Or is it the other way around?

Go to the Maxim Radio shows that Marina has done in the past.
Good fun and Stretch has a great sense of humor.

PERFECT!!! :grin: It’s in way way better taste than the Batman AND it shows the “flying V” maneuver :razz:

How about : boob, ass, fool, moron, idiot, imbecile, ninnyhammer, dotard, retard, dullard. Is that enough, dear teacher?

379 Before this comment this post is 380, huh reminds me of my oil field drilling days , a 379 was a hugh caterpillar engine used to run drilling rigs we worked on,oh well off topic, word topic, Nostradamus, word requests : parthenon, ruins,………….. also word phrase “Cat a Pillar of Strength” and the word phrase ” “I am become death, destroyer of worlds,” and the phrase “artifical sweetner as it relates too cat a Pillar of strength” and the phrase “future of mandkind as it relates to parthenon, ruins” and the phrase ” The pill as it relates to future of mandkind ” the phrase genocide as it relates to universialsuicidal” the phrase “universialsuicide relates to “No home for the Holy” and the word phrase “None shall be spared, not even the metal gods of the universe” and the word phrase “all of exsitence gone in a flash, none shall outrun not even the light” and how all this relates too “B. C. as definition of pursuit as the defination of happiness as the definition of money that is the root all evil.” and the phrase “none shall be spared, no man, woman, child of nature, man or machine, rock or stone, water or fluid, living or died, now or future, past or present” and the phrase ” thats why the female has the child whether she wants too or not” and the phrase ” THUS SPEAKTH THE FATHER FARTHEST AWAY OF ALL”
