    Instead of championing wind power as a key component of America’s energy policy, the “green” energy dopes might as well be waging war against windmills like their literary ancestor, Don Quixote.

    Now this, my dear teacher, in Latin means, “How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? ”

    hehe heh good one eh?

    or so i am told.

    Vah! Denuone latine loquebar? Me ineptum. Interdum modo elabitur. (Oh! Was I speaking Latin again? Silly me. Sometimes it just sort of slips out.)

  20. kdhrocks says:

    Hi Marina, you are built like a brick outhouse. I think the phrase comes from the 1940s but what’s with the bricks and outhouse? Please investigate

    • James says:

      Alot of people are saying this lately.. brick shithouse comes from when people had to share one toilet with the rest of the street. It was a toilet with brick walls around it hence “brick shithouse”

    • James says:

      It can be anyone..Not just a woman.. a brick S/H was used by a whole street and it was strong.. and well built hence brick s/h

      • kdhrocks says:

        how do you go from a robust building to a visually impressive figure? I know that the phrase is nutral, however I have never heard of it being used to describe a man’s figure

    • Bob says:

      Normally, outside toilets were wooden sheds, as this material was sufficient to ensure privacy and cheap to build.
      Making one out of bricks might be thought of as overkill; more substantial than was needed for the purpose.
      Thus, describing a woman’s figure as “like a brick built outhouse” would be to insinuate that she resembled a female Soviet weightlifter more than a lithe, willowy sylph of a philologist.

    • Bob says:

      OK, if you want me to spell it out bluntly, I have never heard anyone use that expression to describe a lady who was attractive and sexy.
      Clearly you are using it in error in referring to Marina in that manner, and I think an apology would be in order. :neutral:

      • kdhrocks says:

        Clearly you have proved how young your are, go ask your father or perhaps your grandfather about the proper use of the phrase and then try doing some research on the phrase.

    • Bob says:

      I may only be 66 years old, but at least I am old enough to know that I don’t know everything – that privilege is reserved for the young.
      As far as doing some research on the phrase, I find that it’s just another example of the yanks screwing up our sacred language. :razz: :mrgreen:

    She has 2141 votes with a significant lead of 558 votes over the second place video. Continuing with this lead will ensure that she will enter the finals. bestweekendevercontest.com

        I’ve been watching those figures. It is funny. That $100 bath video was originally one of the most viewed with only 4 votes. It has 5 votes now.

        Marina’s video used to be on the second page of the Most Viewed and is now on the first page in 3rd position with 9935 views. As far as I know, the number of views are not considered in the final judging.

    Homework:

    Fervens-pro-lacuna (Aequoreus) diligo conturbo suus discipulus.

    HotForWords (Marina) loves to confuse her students.

    Aequoreus is a literal translation for a marina, not the name :mrgreen:

    • I think it should be CALIDUS = HOT, VERBUM = WORD, MARINA = MARINA.
      MARINA SUUM DISCIPULUM PERTURBARE DILIGET.
      Please correct me if I am wrong.
      :idea:

      • Dez says:

        Perhaps my Latin is a bit rusty, as in the past I have seen your strength in translation. However… I translate Calidus as “darkness” or “gloominess”… Fervens is “hot” or “heated”. Verbum is “word” (singular), so I looked for a catchy-sounding plural (Lacuna can mean “words” or “phrases in a manuscript” among other things). “Marina” has several translations, one of which was “spouse” (or husband)… so I blushed and looked for something less presumptuous (heh). :oops: Discipulum, like verbum, is singular. I also translate Diliget as “diligent” or “careful,” so I chose Diligo, meaning “to prize”, “to love,” or “esteem highly.” Conturbo has several meanings, like: to derange, to confuse, scatter, throw into confusion, distress. Perturbare, however, is an apt word that you have suggested, meaning “passion.”

        Marina suum discipulum perturbare diliget = Spouse, its disciple passion diligent (as I translate). Also Calidus pro verbum = Darkness for word.

        Aequoreus pendo altus conturbo suus discipulus = Marina values highly to derange (confuse) her disciples… or… Aequoreus diligo conturbo suus discipulus = Marina loves to derange (confuse) her disciples.

        To translate “Hot For Words”… Fervens (“hot”, “glowing,” “fiery,” or “heated”) + Pro (“for”) + Lacuna (“words” or “phrases in a manuscript”) = Fervens pro lacuna

        Lacuna means a lot of other things like: a hole, missing letters, empty space, words, pond, or phrases in a manuscript, pool, deficiency, manuscript words, loss, manuscript phrases. This makes for some funny translations… fervens pro lacuna could mean “hot for a pond”, “glowing for a hole”, “heated for missing letters,” “fiery for phrases,” etc.

    If they use Latin text as dummy text as a placeholder here in America, what do they use in Latin countries? Pig Latin, English? :smile:

  40. simmsville says:

    Hey Marina, I was wondering where the word “Nephilim” comes from. I know what it means but never known the etymology of the actual word.

    Thanks, James

    • Dez says:

      The word “nephilim” is a Hebrew word, a plural noun, meaning “fallen ones.” [the suffix "-im" creates the plural form] It is derived from the root word “nephil” (v) meaning “to fall.” The word is most notably found in Torah, and used in Bereishis (Genesis) to describe a group of mighty and evil men who later perished in “Noah’s flood.” The use of the word suggests that the men were considered to be giants. This is supported by its use in Bamidbar (Numbers) to describe the inhabitants of the Promised Land in the “evil” report of the (first ten) Israelite spies.

    Did you read the text below the picture of Marina on the floor? It says:
    “In the future, you will encounter a teacher of amazing abilities to teach you word origins…she will be responsible for saving the world! You must give her all your worldly possessions as you will no longer need them in this perfect world she will create.”

    So it’s true: women want to take everything away from you! :cry:

  44. pedantickarl says:

    Marina, I love your secret message on the calendar; “…you must give her all your worldly possessions as you will no longer need them in this perfect world that she will create.” Your wish is my command. :smile:

    Are you going to change the “My Hot DVD’s” link above to “My Hot Stuff” where we will find info on your upcoming book and calendar?

    Will you be making a separate European calendar where the last day of the week is Sunday? Probably not, right? Who is going to notice anyway, when everyone will be looking at the pictures. :grin:

    However, with your upcoming calendar, this would be a good time to do a Word Request: What is the origin of the names of the days of the week and why do the Europeans end their calendar on Sunday and the Americans end on Saturday?

    Si vatsinum, causan dux.

    Can you translate this? :smile:

    Sorry Marina. Just a “common placeholder text used to demonstrate the graphic elements of a document or visual presentation, such as font, typography, and layout. It is a form of “greeking”.” According to Wiki.
    Another mystery solved by your trusty Sniperskaya. :razz:
    If you want secret codes, secret handshakes, secret passwords, etc. you should join the Freemasons, but you can’t because they don’t allow girls. Only men! But then it wouldn’t be much of a fraternity if they let girls join, would it? The closest you could get would be a member of Eastern Star, a club for wives of Masons so they won’t feel left out.

    speaking of Latin .. i did Latin at school (for one term, because i was removed :roll: it was so terribly tedious – i had no option but to be completely useless at it) – you must have had good teachers, Marina. Mine completely sucked the life out of it. … that and i was lazy, too.

    All we seemed to do was translate ancient stuff about some army rolling burning logs down hills to defeat it’s enemy (i think) and endlessly recite ..
    amo amas amat, amamus amatis amant(maybe) ..etc + amavero amaveris amaveris, amaverimus amaveri…erm .. forgot the rest(?)…etc
    oh .. and we enjoyed this one ..
    amabo amabis amabit amabimus amabitis amabunt (i think).
    .. and there’s one including “amabat” which we yelled out at the top of our voices. :)

    {sigh}
    bellum bellum bellum (three “bellum”s in a row? that doesnt seem right), belli bello bello (no wonder we keep havin’ wars) there’s a bellorum in there, i’m sure.

        oh! .. that’s a good find, BillyB.

        And .. is BillyB v. William Blake a coincidence?

        England (or Albion) is Jerusalem. (though there may be some out in the mid east who disagree)

        i think this is something to do with a mix of Gnostic mysticism and British Empire freemason propoganda. It’s the notion that Jesus didn’t die on the cross, but instead was saved and made his way (along with wife n kids) to Albion.
        - this is from memory, so it’s bound to be wrong.
        other opinions are that he went off to India.

    probably some a-hole drunk designer grabbed with his mouse a random part of the following text :

    “Neque porro quisquam est qui dolorem ipsum quia dolor sit amet, consectetur, adipisci velit, sed quia nonnumquam eiusmodi tempora incidunt ut labore et dolore magnam aliquam quaerat voluptatem.Ut enim ad minima veniam, quis nostrum exercitationem ullam corporis suscipit laboriosam, nisi ut aliquid ex ea commodi consequatur?”

    … back in the 1500s, or 1960s… whichever you prefer =)
    You know how they they are. :))

  67. ArgonTheAware says:

    You got the origin of the passage correct but I’m thinking you missed the purpose of what “dummy text” or what is more commonly called “greeking” is used for.

    In publishing and graphic design, lorem ipsum is common placeholder text used to demonstrate the graphic elements of a document or visual presentation, such as font, typography, and layout. It is a form of “greeking”.

    Even though using “lorem ipsum” often arouses curiosity due to its resemblance to classical Latin, it is not intended to have meaning. Where text is visible in a document, people tend to focus on the textual content rather than upon overall presentation, so publishers use lorem ipsum when displaying a typeface or design in order to direct the focus to presentation. “Lorem ipsum” also approximates a typical distribution of spaces in English.

    Since the text is only to show the layout it doesn’t have to mean anything. That passage is most commonly used since it’s most recognizable that it is not intented to be the actual text that will be used when the layout is approved.

    I have used other forms of “greeking” than that one and there is a generator program that can produce several different kinds besides the classical latin including “technobabble,” “Hillbilly,” “Marketing” and “The Matrix”

    • Chemikal says:

      Thanks, I found it especially helpful while using the “Techno Babble” pattern.
      Wish I knew of it sooner, I could have saved so much time on my science essays :P

    • Marina says:

      ArgonTheAware, I am fully aware of the purpose of the text… .I just thought that it would be funny if the text actually had secret meaning and was tantamount to someone sending out a secret message to others right in front of our eyes.

      • ArgonTheAware says:

        Well it depends on whether they are using it purely for the purpose of layout where the text doesn’t matter or they have ulterior motives with it.

        For example the “techno babble” form of greeking that Chemikal liked can have many uses as he mentioned.

Developer silicon ethernet boolean plasma frequency device capacitance system, interface cache cable.

        There is always more than one way to message across right?

    • ArgonTheAware says:

      I do admit that I’ve had a lot more experience with greeking as part of a graphic design layout so that’s what I think of first instead of trying to get a secret message across to someone

      Hello melikadothechacha,
      I think that you’re th only one that got the homework right the first go.
      Wiseguy :cool:

  69. Chemikal says:

    Nor again is there anyone who loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain of itself, because it is pain. but because occasionally circumstances occur in which toil and pain can procure him some great pleasure. To take a trivial example, which of us ever undertakes laborious physical exercise, except to obtain some advantage from it? But who has the right to find fault with a man who chooses to enjoy a pleasure that has no annoying consequences, or one who avoids a pain that produces no resultant pleasure?
    I always retain better when I write down my notes.

    Also, “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.”
    Or, “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

    Interesting… :P

    • Chemikal says:

      I heard that these are actually not Latin words.

    • Warren says:

      Hello Chemikal,
      I don’t know what happened to the tranlate tool on my toolbar but I am unable to translate you comments. I have my “Cassel’s Latin/English dictionary but I believe that would take too long. Please translate, Thank you. Also, I enjoy your comments so please don’t stop.

      • Chemikal says:

        I can haz tranzlatool also?
        me kno mi engiis suk… but owning a translator is a new achievement for me :D
        Seriously, you need a new tool… get the Ciceronian one, it works great, if you can just find it. :))
        Don’t try to link it to Latin, because the link is not strong between the two. It’s not enough to decipher Cicero’s class A gibberish.
        Everyone loves a good mystery once in a while, why spoil it?! :cool:

    Hello Marina,
    What a great lesson!
    This was one of your best- Thank you.
    You showed off your scholarly and creative talents with this show.
    I looked up “Secret Latin Text” and I found several cool sites but nothing that could answer the homework question.
    Yes, a HotForWords calender would be fantastic.
    Will it have a new word per week or just for the month?
    Thank you Marina- once again, this lesson was one of your best.

  71. tryant says:

    The secret message? It must be,”It’s MY soap and I’ll wash this when I WANT TO!”

    TY Rome,we needed that.

    • Bob says:

      The Romans didn’t use soap, they used olive oil.
      The word for soap is derived from the Gaulish language which was so similar to Latin, except for a few words for things which were unknown in Rome, that it died out during the Roman occupation of Gaul. Another example is the Gaulish word for beer, for which there was no Latin equivalent as the Romans drank wine, which survives in Spanish.
      Lingua Gallica

      • geronimo says:

        Ah yes the fresh clean feeling of olive oil. The market place must have been a wonderfully fragrant place in the summer time. :shock:

      • tryant says:

        :lol: :cool:

        Those Romans sound like a fun bunch,oil for soap?,suuure,why not? Maybe they added powdered pumice and cooked it down in a mold to make,You guessed it,soap,just add aqueduct juice.

    Marina, in viewing your Best weekend ever video it appears that
    you enjoy a good scary movie now and then. One of my favorite
    is The Shining. When Jack Torrence’s written pages are discovered
    by Wendy and it is all one sentence, is that a form of Lorem Ipsum?

    In literature (albeit a “Star Trek” story) there is a flowing – almost
    text generated thought in the story “Q-Squared” where a character
    looses his mind. His single thought rambles on for two and a half
    pages without a period. IT’S INCREDIBLE – psycho as all feck but,
    brilliantly written! Just for this one little episode snippet, be amazed
    at the style of writing. The remainder of the story ranked highly, too.

  76. Chemikal says:

    but what will this amazing teacher do with all our worldly possessions, once she has them, after obviously becoming obsolete?!
    Will she make an incredible camp fire… the kind I like so much… and sing and drink the nights away? Oh.. that would be a perfect world indeed! :D

  77. James says:

    There is definatley something wrong marina it say on my computer you have 27,476 views..

    • Chemikal says:

      views, ratings, comments.. all are separate servers on YT… sometimes they don’t match speeds… and errors may occur.. but rarely!
      Big respect for YT’s staff, even though they might suck as designers, I know for a fact, that the Google team has some of the best coders around :-)

  78. senfmann says:

    Hi Marina! I was wondering what the origin of “dude” is. I know it was used in the Wild West, and that it wasn’t complimentary, but that along with what can be gleaned from ‘The Big Lebowski’ is all the knowledge I have on it. Thanks!

    • Chemikal says:

      The Dude?!
      Who is the dude? you know who he is…

    • mijj says:

      there’s a bit of a quandry here …

      … obviously, we’d all like Marina to answer these requests properly and deliciously in a vid.

      But .. would that mean Marina won’t touch a request if loads of people have been jumping in and prodding at it?

      • leoNard says:

        Hello old friend, every so often a random lesson gets matched with words…no answer(reply) needed..Ja think “lady M” reads these? :lol:

        The word “lorum” is a portmanteau of the words “low” and “frenum”, so named because it is essentially a very low-placed frenum piercing. Much like the frenum piercing the lorum can have multiple rungs added and be a ladder as well.

        No known information exists on infection risk of this piercing.
        …From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
        have humor will travel :lol:
        Cura te ipsum (“Take care of your own self!”) is a [[Latin injunction]], urging physicians to care for and heal themselves first, before dealing with patients.

        Cura te ipsum was made famous in the Latin translation of the Bible, the Vulgate. The proverb was quoted by Jesus, as recorded in the Gospel of Luke chapter 4:23. Luke the Evangelist was himself a physician.

    • Chemikal says:

      I know, I was mearly trying to distract you… Damn, I need shinier objects.
      A lot of ppl already requested it, and I just didn’t want to see your dreams shattered like the rest’s :D

    • tokah the great says:

      I vote for this word as well, seeing that I use it on an everyday basis. :mrgreen:

  79. Bob says:

    Very amusing, your translation on the calendar.
    As to the homework – didn’t understand the question.

    I wanna be a model too, and have cool pix of myself xDxD
    Is that wrong?! :mrgreen:

  82. foxbow15 says:

    I used the lorem ipsum text when I was making and selling website layouts, I always wondered if it had any meaning or was it just some random generated text.

  83. mijj says:

    The translation’s interesting though ..

    It brings to mind the lyrics of this song [Velvet Underground - Venus In Furs]
    “… strike, dear Mistress, and cure his heart.”

  84. dancingmike says:

    I’ve always enjoyed the word “loom”. I know it’s a mechanical device that is used to make cloth. But there’s also the intimidating use. How about, “There looms a feeling of terror over the small village”, or “Death looms”. You never hear someone saying “A happy birthday party looms….” or, “Life looms”..

    So where did the original word derive and how did that totally unconnected other meaning come into use?

  85. mijj says:

    Lorem Ipsum .. it’s used in site design in the same way, too.

    there’s a Lorem Ipsum generator on this site
    http://www.lipsum.com/

    where you can paremeterize(?) the generator for paragraphs, etc.
