It’s quite nice, although I liked and not all pictures.
But as a whole they…

i use eau de toilette, Opium is my favourite.
Spray it on almost in the same way Asathecomic does, with the exception that i don’t spray it on my hands and rub my head, i spray it behind the earlobe’s and than use the inner wrist to spread it there.
You don’t want it on your hands!
I think both sexes often wear too much cologne. I’m sure hotforprofits would agree with Marina. And thanks for another great Kobe clip … he fd that chew toy up!
Your little dog is ADORABLE! i just bought my Georgian girlfriend a Shih Tzu but i think yours is Maltese,am I right? I love it when he just wonders around behind you while you give lessons,not a care in the world.Take care Darlin’.
I just use a deodorant, rather than a cologne. I it where to be a cologne, then it would be toilet water (eau de toilette). I think it means that water you put on in the bathroom, which is similar to the start of the word for Cologne. It sounds so much more sophisticated when you say it in French.
I’m sure you shortened it for ease of presentation, however (just in case), the full name of Cologne in the year 50 A.D. was Colonia Claudia Ara Agrippinensium (CCAA). I have to be honest, had I not been studying in Germany I wouldn’t have known that. It is a relatively little know fact about the town. Kudos for the history lesson though!
Eau do toilette is ‘toilet water’
Not the brightest marketing team on that one.
Dior Pure posion :grin:
what exactly is eau de toillet
I’ve been using eau de l’occitan its made from all natural stuff .

Comic Kobe is rocking out. Shamefully, I wouldn’t know any fumes or colognes from one or the other. Apartment stores freak me out too much for me to concentrate. However, I do remember an TV advert a few years ago…..’It was dawn, we were fading fast but she, she was alive….’ again, I cant recall what parfume it was for, but for a while, it seemed loads of women smelt the sam-ish around town, Tut, fads I guess.
The Cologne I use is:THALLIUM sport. There are a few others out there I like the scent of, but haven’t bought them….yet. This one has a nice scent to it. I don’t rub it in like in Asa’s video, rather I spray it (once) in the air in front of me and walk into it. I’ll do that 2 or 3 times, but no more!
Perhaps you should do a follow up video about the origin of: EAU DE TOILET.
In my opinion, based on the thesis of this video, it was not necessary to add the annotation that in Germany the word is Köln. Why? Because the video focused on Men’s scenting habits and the English word Cologne. Mentioning Köln does not add any value to this video.
You summed up the thesis perfectly at 1:21. You said;
“Cologne is a perfume that men wear,
but they call it Cologne as it is not so feminine,
but, the word Cologne has a feminine origin.”
Staying within context (Men, scents, unclean etc), at the end of the video you mentioned eau de toilette with the flushing sound. I laughed for hours on that one. You are absolutely brilliant!! :smile:
Adding the historical note of the origin of the word Cologne was key, but adding that the Germans pronounce it Köln is incidental for this video. Do we constantly need to say that when we use the word Germany, that the Germans say Deutschland? Of course not, unless the context requires it.

With football season starting and the MLB playoffs coming up, I was wondering about where the words “umpire” and “referee” came from. Thanks!
I’m Back, The wife has requested that she would like to know how the word :- randy – came to be meant horny : :?:
Good Morning Teacher, I’ve got a word which was used alot some years back , but you don’t hear it much nowdays. OK are you ready for it :?: ,well are you :?: Here goes,, its– HELLABULLUE, Have you heard that one ??

National Magic Week.
It is always the last week of October. National Magic Day is Halloween

SMILES TO YOU!

The manufacturers of that chair should pay you handsomely for using it in your video. Never in my life have I thought of office furniture as sexy, but you certainly worked it girl! As a “leg man” thanks for showing me two of the best gams I’ve ever seen. Oh, and that’s my word request – gams.

Thanks to all who voted. Another week and a half to go.

I’ve got a doozy of a word request for Marina…
Anyone who’s heard naval scuttlebutt, particularly British, has probably heard the phrase “tapping the Admiral”. The legend behind the phrase may make you ill or make you laugh, but the meaning of the phrase is generally “to sneak a sip or a drink” (of an alcoholic beverage). I’d bet me starboard eyeball that ‘ol Cap’n Jack would get a kick outa this salty tale.
Hello Marina (FYI – heads up regarding unsigned music)
I have a neighbor who is an independent (unsigned) singer & musician who loves making music and videos. I just helped him get on to You Tube and he subscribed to you over there a few hours ago. I am having him create some music for you based on your play list (Jenkees, Endorphine, etc). In a few weeks I’ll send you a link for you download the music, gratis.
He has his own studio and can create just about any kind of music. If you have any requests for style of music or something you want emulated, let me know.
My current cologne is South Beach by Holister.
It was nice to see a notation in your video on the actual German name for the city of Cologne. I visited the city in 1994, and was absolutely amazed by its gothic cathedral.
I use UDV, an eau de toilette by Ulric de Varens. Actually, I looked up the origin of the French word “toilette” in my Petit Robert. It’s a very simple orgin, but also quite unexpected for anyone who doesn’t know French.
The Robert is a quite good dictionary but if you are interested in the origin of words and if you want to know all their meanings, you should use the Littré, which is a wonderful toy. You can find there a lot of quotations and explanations about French words. You can search words online in the Littré. Here is the link for the word “toilette”:
http://francois.gannaz.free.fr/Littre/xmlittre.php?requete=toilette&submit=Rechercher
Thanks, celebornmars. I just made it a Favorite. I see that others addressed the word “toilette” here. I wanted to remain a bit vague, just in case Marina thought it would make an interesting lesson.
The Littré is for alcoolic :mrgreen:
I love LITRE ET RATURE :mrgreen:
Hello, HotForWords :smile: My word is .. ( intimidated). Please help!
Thanks :cool:
PS: Uumm….
uuh…I buy one expensive bottle from ebay and get a year long supply of sample bottles that I use :mrgreen: I used to put on this Diesel zero plus, duno wy it smells like some Asia market or something :mrgreen:
Just bought this hugo boss soul it’s quite nice.
You talking about that Open 60 racing sailboat, the Hugo Boss? This is the ferrari of the ocean. They can go 30-40 knots or 46mph on rough water. It doesn’t sound very fast but it like racing the Mexico Baja in really rough roads for months on end.
no, this hugo boss :mrgreen:
(that women is irritating :???: )
Sorry your link is dead. :sad:
where the hell did it go….
no, it’s not dead? it’s a pic of “hugo boss — soul”, right?
Poison?
I think of You more as a PINK by Nanadebary type. You were about 5yrs or 6yrs old when Poison was released.
:idea:
Thanks, ’cause I’ve been meaning to do just that.
How funny is this?

From the 50s, I learned it from LisaNova :-)
:grin:
Antz Pantz
That made me laugh so much and was truly needed after sitting through the Cubs loss tonight in extra innings!
Marina ! But…what is a blow job ? :shock:
Is she really going to blow ? It’s dangerous I think. Once I had air in my purse and it was really painful.
By the way ! What do you think about this “american” sexual way of life ? Personally I prefer the slavic one. It’s much more romantic.
Ðмерикацы ёбают очень Ñтранно… :mrgreen:
LOL how old is Lisa Nova?? She’d better not be a bad influence on you, young lady, wouldn’t want to be caught doing anything Inappropriate.
Interesting ad…keep it clean
Wow! It’s shocking! :oops:
LisaNova’s videos are very funny. For those who don’t know her, you should watch her parodies of Lindsay Lohan (That’s my decision), HotForWords of course (she is a noiseologist), the film 300, and Rambo LisaNova (video where she is Rambo’s daughter).
PS: Kobe also is very funny.
I know LisaNova but you should put the link to her; she deserves it.
I think Lisa should learn russian and go to America and she will reach the million.
Anyway it’s true, each girl has a special and different style. That’s I think what is called complementarity.
:?:
Marina… Thats scary.. I watched that yesterday.. :roll:
James, it’s scary because it’s satanic. You’ve apparently been given a good set of genes, cooking the noodles upstairs.
James I didn’t know what you meant by the meg ryan comment. Who looked like her? I ran my daughters pic and it she supposedly looks like someone I have never even heard of.

I guess when I was young I didn’t really look like anybody. They were reaching when it pulled up David Beckham.

Oh that was just too funny! I have to go get a glass of water. brb….
Hello Marina,
Here’s another play on words
Classic, absolute classic, tossing salads will never be quite the same again after watching that little number. :lol:
what does shampoo mean… :?:
I’m not Marina, but I can help you with this word.
“Shampoo” means “massage” in Hindi.
at last! now I know so thanks to you matilda, awsome :smile:
It’s the opposite of real poo.
Vote for Marina
It’s Wednesday arvo here in oz and we can now vote again.
my father & little brother use half glass of cologne every day… thats why i don’t use ’cause irritates my nose (over years smelling different colognes all over my house)… :(…
by the way, another mistery learned from hot for words… thx Marina!
I love the Derek Jeter driven cologne I received on my b-day. It is very strong. has anybody heard of that brand?
First I’ve heard of it… do you like it?
Avon came in some unusual containers, I have one of these pipe ones, kept it because it is the spitting image of one of the guys I work with.
Also came in automobile decanters.
I guess “love” it means you like it… I mean did you like it already, so you requested it ?
When I first used it I already did. It’s very nice! Have I requested it? mmmmmmm, no I’ve made request at least not yet.
You wear it well—my cologne is tight and not too loose when I where is it. Stinky smells! :roll: Sandlewood
Word Request: Thug. Where does this word come from and why is it used to describe “gangsters” or people in the “ghettos”?
Thanks Marina.
Anybody old enough to remember Hai Karate TV ads. Pretty racy for the day, and not very PC. Be careful how you use it.
I’m sad to say yes,I do remember them,sorta.
The underall adds were good too. Hot chick sez “Makes Me feel like I’m not wearin nuthin”! then she walked away from the camera.
Funny what one remembers “Nothing beats a great pair of legs!”
(sounds like an unbeatable poker hand). It is amazing what the products will do for you too, who wouldn’t want their legs “stimulated, refreshed & massaged, almost makes me want to try them… because I’ve been on my feet all day & feel like I’m too old to dance :oops:
“legs” “a great poker hand”? Hmmm,just where is she dealing the cards from? :cool:
Don’t they use a shoe to deal cards from?
Maybe you’ve got the wrong end of the “sticks”.
Important dates fer Yer calendar?
How about Kobe’s birthday?
How about Yer 1st hotforwords vid date?
How about Yer sister’s birthday? :grin:
How about doing some math and estimating the date of Yer one billionth vid view!?!?
How about the date Ya got these wonderfull ideas from tryant? 9-02-08

Tell ASA that a gentleman wears his cologne on his clothes.
Clothes? Underwear? I thought Asa said not to put it on Yer crotch!
Sorry,so so sorry. Sometimes the urge to be a smartass troll is just tooo strong,I need a Trolls Anonymous meeting. :smile:
You and me both.
Well, I was just listening to the Foo Fighters song “My Hero”, and I came across the expression “peter out”. Well, I (sort of) know what I means thanks to Google, but I would like to know where it came from.
Greetings from Argentina!

marina dear,whats the origin of the saying “getting the wrong end of the stick”
My guess is that it derived from the saying “the short end of the stick” Which had to do with drawing straws for some bad task. If you drew the short stick you lost.
Geroinimo. don’t forget 54% meg ryan oh god :!: :!: oh oh god :!: :!: :wink:

love ya
marina dear,zebras,are they black with white stripes or white with black stripes and do they have the same number of stripes?
I didn’t know she was also a zoologist.
Without their fur, even their skin is striped black and white.
The professor in my TV production class told us to avoid putting the talent in a swivel chair but you made it work for you. Yea! you owned that swivel chair, :smile: :cool: :grin: :grin: :mrgreen:
I found the swivel chair very suspenseful. However, in the end, I was denied that which my basic instinct so hotly anticipated.
Poison Dior ? You have expensive taste no? I don’t have to see you, your voice drives me wild.
My favorite Cologne is AngelMEN by Thierry Mugler. I would like to try 4711 the original Cologne Marina was talking about in her video. Maybe, if I get back to Germany’ I can try it. :idea: :???:
you should do “the whole nine yards”…it always made my head hurt thinking of all the possibilities
P.S. i cant spell good :sad:
Marina are you still not talking to me?
What do you mean?
you DO read my posts :grin:
I had hoped you weren’t upset with me.
I sent you a peace offering. I saw you were
a Tabasco fan.
I sent you some Crystal to try.
Hope you like it

Hey Marina. Have you done some commercials in the past before? Or do you think you could message me somehow? I hope its not what it is. :neutral:
I sent you a message on youtube.

Hey HotForWords.
Word Request Again: I Would Like To now Where The Saying ‘Touch Wood’ Came From, You Know Like When People Say ‘My healths In Good Condition, Touch Wood’ Hmm, Well, Yeah, Thanks.
Hope You make A Video For It! :D
Ned Saddler.
Like “knock on wood”?
Hmm, Yeah I Think So. Not Really Sure Lol :D
That’s a good one. :cool: I never heard of touch wood, but knock on wood we use all the time. Maybe Miss M will clear up both definitions and etymologies of each phrase. :grin:
Yeah Hopefully, its Been Puzzeling Me For A While Lol. :)
The way I heard it goes something like this; If You say something You *don’t* want to come true then knock on wood because the noise blocks the little spirits from hearing and making it come true.
Word Request: Hey Ms. Orlova, I was listening to this song I’m A Freak by Young Cash, (Featuring T-Pain) and was wondering where did the word “freak” even come from. Freak is also used to describe many things. Please help me teacher!
Thank you
Matthew
Listen to the song too. I’m sure you’ll like it! :mrgreen:

Personally, I prefer Cool Water or Michael Jordan cologne. I hate how people think Axe really works because of the commercials. Ugh, boppers.
I found it very interesting an amuzing, finaly someone that understands what philology is really all about, since Nietzsche.
I would like to know where the word Avocado comoes from.

…so, how do you know all this?
Concerning POISON : This word is taken from the Lation POTIO “drinking, beverage”. :mrgreen:
Concerning EAU DE TOILETTE. TOILETTE in French means etymologically “little linen”.
So TOILETTE has two meaning : 1 toilet 2 washing
By the way ABLUTION means “washing one’s dirty bottom after defecation” with if possible linen if you are rich and paper or even your fingers if you are poor. Personally I use to wipe my fingers on the wall of the toilets. :mrgreen:
There are other uses of the French word “toilette.” It’s a pretty long entry in my Petit Robert.
Hey Marina. I was in my Geology class learning about rocks when the professor started to talk about cleavage, he meant cleavage as in how rocks break along preferred planes of weakness. I was wondering how that word also came to refer to the partial exposure of the separation between a woman’s breasts. Hopefully u can get to the bottom of this thx marina see u later keep up the good work :mrgreen:
And don’t forget that bakers use a four loaf cleaver.
Beaver Cleaver. What were they thinking?
Great lesson Marina. Asa the comic is great and had just watched his video the other day. Congratulations to James for being the teacher’s pet, but top dog is still Kobe; that was funny at the end. :smile:
:mrgreen: And all this time,I thought cologne was only a city in Germany. Boy,was I wrong! I never use cologne-unless I get it as a gift at Christmas. I prefer Brut after shave. That’s all! Of course,I work indoors and very seldom sweat. My daily shower seems to do the job for me,but everyone is entitled to their own opinion. The cosmetic industry is counting on men,or their partner,to buy plenty of cologne. Billions of dollars are spent every year on the stuff so some executives can live in mansions and drive the most expensive cars. You know what they say,”the beat goes on!”
ÑладоÑÑ‚Ð½Ð°Ñ Marina,
What a nice new office chair in your video,! You’re so slender it looks like both you and your sister could sit in it, together!
For your homework, I have a Mennen “Speedstick” deodorant bar and Mennen aftershave. I also have a bottle of Old Spice. My former girlfriend at the University liked “Charlie” by Revlon. Because it was inexpensive and it wasn’t imported from France, I brought her several of the “Charlie” products.
Your clean and slightly scented student, seesixcm6
Helloo Teacher, I think your gettin hotter each lesson or maybe it’s that outfit! SWEET, but you know that so heres my answer :arrow: Hiugh Karate back in High School cause the chick dug it , Old Spice for next 20 years cause the wife dug it, now I use a deoderant called Touch cause the wife digs it and thats it! BYE BYE!!

Congrats to James… lucky son of a gun
Thanks
I knew that would trigger a response from James.
My phrase is pop the question.
Hey I have a question I want to address all you men in the classroom. Do you own a Luffa or some sort of artificial exfoliating device? I will admit I own two of them. One is attached to a stick for back scratching. I use a Unilever brand of body soap. The Unilever company is trying to market their stuff to men but not having much luck. They now include a manly colored luffa with their product. Hey guys, this stuff is cool. Lets take a lesson from the masters of getting clean… women. You squirt a blob of body soap on that luffa and get cleaned. It works better than that bar of soap on a rope. Don’t forget the arm pits. Oh and did you know that a luffa also keeps your house cleaner too. Think about that one for a bit.
So guys, give it a try. You’ll find out that you won’t need much cologne to smell like a man. :cool: If you have a hard time finding this stuff, just ask any woman. They would be happy to drop what they are doing to help us smell better. Also guys the more cologne the better, theory doesn’t work. Getting clean is the cake and cologne is the icing not the other way around. :grin:
Ok I have to go and crap more women off my sailing yacht. :roll:
I own one, I like it, and I don’t care who knows it.
They lather up better than cloth and scrub less harsh than sandpaper :grin:
That cool SB! Yea I have a problem with sandpaper part. Its a bit rough in the groin area. :shock:
Wouldn’t a luffa be kinda hard on the ole nads or does it soften up when it gets wet?
I have one of those cheap plastic ones. Surprising it’s rather soft. I haven’t tried the natural Luffa. Hum I might have to look into that. I just want to get the job done and get the hell out if you know what I mean. LOL.
Jack, never heard of a plastic Luffa, can it really be a Luffa or is it a scrubby for the dishes :?: Do you shower with Joy and her sister Dawn :?: :wink: :wink: :smile: :smile: :grin: :grin: Even on a yacht the shower is kind of small for three. You young/old sea dog :wink: :smile:

There you go. They are not true Luffas but they do the same job.
I wish I could shower with Joy and Dawn!!!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
There is room for two in my shower but 3 is just not going to happen. That what the yacht tub is for. Oh whats a yacht tub? Its a hot tub that floats on water that you can tie up to your yacht. Its really cool.
http://www.yachtproductsintl.com/category.aspx?categoryID=26
NO! The wife uses one and loves it , I’m thinkin that if you use a luaffa your soapin it up to much :twisted:
Then your doing it all wrong man. Just a little dab of the jell is all you need. Let the wife get all soapy if she wants (oh that sounded hot). Its the exfoliating that’s the key. You need to get the dead skin cells off. There are little face mites (Demodicids) that feed off those dead skin cells, and also there are many bacteria on your skin that love to stink up the place. All living organisms give off some sort of waste. Oh and about those mites. They actually burrow into your hair and make little homes for themselves and even lay eggs. Not convinced? Check this out:
http://www.worsleyschool.net/science/files/eyelash/creatures.html
They can survive a wash cloth. You will never get them all but you can reduce the number of them. So what where you saying about too much soap? :wink:
I don’t use a luffa, but I do use the liquid soap in a bottle. I like it better than bar soap. Does Walmart sell luffas? Can you wash it in a washing machine?
Yes walmart sells them. They are less than $1.00. It is better to replace them every few months, like a toothbrush. They tend to fall apart after a while and can hold germs and such if you use them too long.
I did the same thing as you did Capman. I later picked up a luffa and found it was much better use of the liquid soap. A little squirt goes a long way when you work the lather up. The liquid soap last longer than the bar. No more gooey / slimy bars. There are too many girlishly colors. I found this dark forest green luffa. Its a good dark guy color. I wanted something black.

Food Maxx is selling the Luffa squash as food in the vegetable department. :smile: :smile:
It’s so true about a luffa’s cleaning ability on the skin. A luffa is also good for doing the dishes, especially the microwaveable clear plastic containers which tend to stain. When in Mexico I find the plant growing wild in places. One just dries this squash like vegetable, peel the skin, remove the sponge then shake out the black pumpkin size seeds.
Hum. I never thought about stained plastic containers.
Biodegradable sponge. Humm interesting.
Hey Jack! Your gay is showing! Just kidding :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: You know I love ya. But luffas? :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:
I knew someone would make that comment sooner or later. I saw it coming a mile away. :lol: :lol: :lol:
A nautical mile?
Oh thanks LE. Yea a nautical mile. :grin: :roll:
Recycle the plastic, this helps remove the guilt, look for the recycle code in the triangle on the bottom container. :smile: :smile: :cool: :razz: :razz: :mrgreen:
If your hungry enough you can always eat the Luffa, it’s high in fiber. :smile: :smile: :cool: :grin: :grin: :razz: :razz:

:mrgreen: Hey everyone! :mrgreen: Sorry I’ve been out of the classroom for the past few days. :neutral: I have been working really hard in filling up my classes for this winter. I landed a large group of new students that my current class room can’t hold them all. :mrgreen: So I have been classroom shopping. I have to find a 1000 sq. ft. room for cheap. Not an easy task when you in the land of Microsoft millionaires. :roll: Speaking of shopping, I have been window shopping for a replacement yacht for my damage one. I found this 41ft. Owens Concorde and bought it. I feels so broke now. :roll: How big is 41ft yacht? Roughly its abut 550 sq. ft. two story, one bedroom condo with a million dollar waterfront view. :mrgreen: It’s the best time to buy a yacht because its now a buyers market. You can find yachts
dirtwater cheap now. So now I have to find new dock or new owner for my sailing yacht. Im going to loose a lot of money on the sailboat sitting at the dock, eating away my savings account because I can’t use it. Ooops I forgot, what savings? Oh and there is this 25 ft tear on the side of it from those 45-60mph winds last June 10th. In fact it was colder in Seattle than Siberia, Russia that day. For a sailboat that’s nothing, but if you combine that with a concretes wall thats a different story. Water safe concrete bad. :shock:That’s my excuse for not showing up for class. :oops: I hope everyone has been learning a lot. :grin: Ok I got to run.

That’s quite a Gin Palace, Jack. I’m envi :mrgreen: us.
Have you got a good name for her?
She is called the Alexandra
I think I will stick with the name for now. Its taboo to rename a ship, unless you do a renaming ceremony. I have already picked out the name of my next ship, Brittle Star. Im saving that name for my around the world cruising ship. I found a Brittle Star when I pulled up the anchor on the cruise ship Island Spirit one day. Maria told me that the tiny creature can live in depths of 1,500 feet (648psi). I was just amazed how this cool little critter so small and fragile could survive such pressures. My next ship will be the largest I have ever owned and capable of sailing around the world safely but it is tiny compared to what mother nature can stir up. :grin:
Let me know if you go cruisin one day & head past the Island. my thumb is up.
Looks nice & my wife’ll show you pictures of “froggy”, the boat of your dreams LOL. Her dad used to sail her around these waters many years ago, he even challanged the B.C. ferries on the, steam gives way to sail thing… much to the family’s chagrin, back in the day.
I talked to my sailing friend about you and he thinks it a good idea. We might stop by someday. He is in the San Juan Islands right now. Sucia Island to be exact.
Hi Marina,
How about the phrase “Play it by ear” ?
Thanks,
#1 Student
I think that’s where you learn to play music based on how well you hear it.
That’s a different explaination that I wasn’t aware of. Is this how you would use this phrase? I use it to describe plans sometimes that can be off the cuff or spontaneous as we might hang out later, but we need to play it by ear so see what happens with business or other scheduled plans.
i would like to know, why does the phrases, Fat Chance and Slim Chance mean the same thing? made the orgins of the two words can help explain it.
And what about the girl who had a monopoly on all the guys in class? Hers was the Communty Chest.
I can’t find your “Karaoke” video anywhere on your website. Are you too embarassed by it? Because I can only imagine the looks on the faces of Paula, Randy, and Simon, and their reasons of not letting you through.
:oops: Oooo… That sounds bad, doesn’t it?
Here you go Animalntaz. It’s on her You Tube site. :grin:
Karaoke Video
Hi animalntaz, the Karaoke video is on this site. If you tried the Lessons list link in the upper right of the page and you don’t see the entry, try the other two links; “Latest Lessons” and “Lessons by Date”. You’ll find Karaoke in both of those links.
http://www.hotforwords.com/2008/08/30/karaoke/
I meant Lessons link – upper left. I’ll learn my left from right one of these days. :smile:
Oh! I already knew about the Lessons link, but I overlooked the 2 other links inside. But for some reason, alphabetically, ‘Karaoke’ is still not listed under ‘K’.
Has anyone seen that Family Guy episode, where Peter tried on Axe for sick cats? :lol:
(spray,spray)
Peter: “Oh… oh boy…” (MeeoOow, meeoOow) “Oh no… what do you want?” (MeeoOow, meeoOow) “Er…umm…yeah, you’re kinda cute… your’re kinda cute…” (MeeoOow, meeoOow) “Ooh… what are you doing…? What are you doing…? …Eeew …eeew!” (cat throws up) “Okay, this cologne is not for me.” :lol:
YES I HAVE! It made me want to throw out my can of Axe. Why do I buy that cheap crap? I should find something better. But I have a problem with some colognes. They make me nauseous.
Here’s a word for you. It’s quite a mouthful too: onomatopoeia. What’s the origin of it?
hey marina I was wondering the orgin of the word monkey dish. why is that a small sidedish called monkey dish?
My favourite used to be Imperial Leather Citrous, (I used to pull like a tractor when I used it) but I haven’t seen it on sale for years.
Probably just as well, as my wife would kill me and any competition if I wore it now.
For women’s perfume, it depends on the woman, because you should wear the one which works with your body’s chemistry. If you wear the wrong one it can end up smelling awful. Also, you should test it for about half an hour before choosing, to allow the top note and middle note to fade so you know what you will smell like for most of the day/evening, and never test more than two perfumes at a time – you’ll just confuse your sense of smell.
Choosing the perfume that is right for you.
I laugh at that one! :lol: I smell that way all the time. Hey I guess I don’t have to buy cologne anymore. heheheheh :lol: :lol:
And a Giant Squid will exfoliate you quite effectively too. :lol:
Now that’s a good idea! But I would rather be exfoliated by an Octopus. You know Octopi are fun little critters to play with. They are kind of like cats of the water sort of speak. They feel so squishy. I like squishy things. :lol: They are also incredibly smart. Thats odd. I like smart squishy things. :roll: Hey if you ever need to open that pesky pickle jar just ask an octopus. Up here in the Puget Sound we have the largest Octopi in the world.
My girlfriend is a smart squishy thing.
For some reason I had a hard time focusing on the lesson today! :wink: Great video! :cool:
There was a lesson?
I had to replay it 4 times just to get a grasp of the lesson. :wink:
My current cologne is Waterlove by MEXX at the moment. True too much cologne on us men is really unbearable. Couple of my class m8ts put there Huggo Boss and what ever on too much and I can smell the strong odour from the other side of the class.
Ooops I thought you said “Higgs boson”. Sorry I have particle physics on the brain lately. I’m so excited to hear that CERN LHC is going online September 10th I wanted to book a plane ticket to CERN. But It think I’ll be content with a webcast. We maybe very near a historic discovery about how the universe works.
If we can invent a fusion engine to the size of an automobile engine which heats the h2o to turn a steam turbine to fifty thousand RPM’s, if this happens in my lifetime …? I’ll be happy.
I think they accelerated the schedule. Wasn’t it originally October?
mergatroidal, yea that would be cool. Right now my buddy is running 100% on a combination of solar and wind power. He runs a tower mac with a 30 inch monitor, Powerbook laptop, mac Mini with 19 in monitor, 32 inch TV, Satellite TV, 5.1 surround sound, LED lights, hot water, water pumps, water maker, navigation gear, etc. all from his solar and wind generators. For back up he has a 3000 watt Honda Generator and his 160 amp alternator for recharging his batteries if there is no wind or sun. Pretty cool hu?
ividemerald, They plan to start the first experiments in October if all goes well when they bring it up online.
CaptainJack, yes, impressive what your friend has done.
My favorite is Old Spice…my wife’s favorite is Poison. However we can’t both wear them at the same time…when combined, they cause an explosion. That’s how we met…we blew up an entire bookstore in a shopping mall.
After being in close quarters with way too many men who used WAY too much cologne ( before women were on ships in the Navy ) I now pride myself on smelling like nothing.
In my humble opinion more people ( men and women ) should give it a try.
I agree that one’s ‘toilette’ refers to preparations to meet the rest of the world, but for many the choice of cologne ( or perfume ) gives ‘toilette water’ the meaning that first comes to mind.
HOMEWORK: I don’t really wear much it was coincident that I actually put some on today. It was Lacoste red.. For women.. I can’t really say.. all the ones I like I only like because they remind me of people.
HMM. I know how to boost my views.. This could lead to partnership.. Wonder if I should do it.
How?
Perhaps I should email it to you.. I have tried it on my most recent video.. and a few others.. It works everytime.. I checked YT T&C and there doesn’t seem to be anything about doing this. But incase I am not meant to do it I dont want to get deleted.. Also I read someone with 40 million hits used it.. and maybe parlophone too..
I have noticed. Sometimes they go up then back down a bit.. But not much.
Email me.. use the form and you’ll get my new email address that way.
ok sent you mail
I have a question for you James. Why are you making videos?
BTW Congrats you made Teachers Pet!!!!!!!!!!!!! :mrgreen: Im so excited for you. Whooooppppeeeee!
What do you mean?? I make videos for people to watch, I like making them.. and so I don’t go mad and think jumping off cliffs is a sport. :smile:
Trying to be Marina II? haha goodluck.
Hey James I like jumping off of 5 and 6 story buildings and bridges over rivers. I like jumping off of or repelling off of tall objects. It’s fun and builds confidence. Plus high level rescue requires you to do it. :wink:
Im trying to get you to think outside the box. :grin: You asked how to boost your views. Well you have to make videos that many people would want to watch. Now the question asks is what videos does your audience want to watch? It has to be something to draw them in. Show me something that I haven’t seen before. Show me something very funny. Teach me something. Show me how something works. Show me something I would want to share with my friends. I was entertained to watch your video of you eating without a fork because it was a reply to Marina’s video lesson. I was educated with your Fcuk video. You getting the idea? :grin: I know you have all kinds of talent just waiting to be released. You just have to let it out. Get creative James!!! :mrgreen: You can do it. I’ve seen it!
Well I can twist my leg 180 degrees.. I have been thinking about that
Break your leg on camera, those kind of things get loads of views :lol:
What is the origin of the word foxy?
I asked the same question yesterday. Originally, the word “fox” was used for a clever person (reference to the fox, a quite intelligent animal) but more recently, another meaning has been introduced: a fox is also an attractive woman. But I don’t know if there is still a relation with the animal… If yes, it would be an interesting story…
Well, I’d like to add two comments.
First of all, in German, the name “Cologne” became “Köln”.
I would also add further information about the word “toilette” in French. The word “toilette” originally refers to objects which were used for hair or body care. This is the origin of “eau de toilette” (“eau” meaning “water” of course). We can use today the expression “after shave” (it has been introduced into French, as well as its translation “après-rasage”). The expression “eau de toilette” itself still exists.
The word “toilette” has also been used for “water closed” in an euphemistic way. Actually in France, the correct expression is “toilettes” (plural). In Belgium, “toilette” is singular and in Quebec, both forms can be used.
There are other meanings in relation with the first one. The expression “faire sa toilette” means washing itself or preparing itself before going outside. The “toilette” of a women is the way she is dressed and more generally her “look” (this meaning is quite obsolete in French).
celebornmars, you are correct about Köln… I should have said the English kept the name as Cologne to this day. And for the toilette, I was attempting a joke there :-) But I appreciate you pointing that out.
Is it Köln Wasser in German? :-)
You’re not very far from it. The word in German is “Kölnerwasser”. Germans very often connect words to each other when they need to create new words or expressions, while English may use several words. For example, traffic-light becomes Verkehrsampel (with the same meaning for the two parts Verkehr and Ampel), and inner city, Innenstadt (Innen and Stadt [town]).
You’re somehow right. We Germans do create monster words by compounding them. For example, in 1999 the state legislative of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern created the word “Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz”, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rinderkennzeichnungs-_und_Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz for details. But compounding mostly affects nouns, not adjectives. Local adjectives and nouns usually remain separated.
You’re also right that local adjectives for a city are usually formed with the suffix “-er”, for example Hamburger for something coming from Hamburg, Berliner for something coming from Berlin etc. Following this rule, “water from Cologne” would be “Kölner Wasser” in German.
But eau de cologne is an exception. In this case, the suffix for the local adjective is “-isch” (which is usually used for countries, like the English suffix “-ish” in “English”, “Spanish” etc). So, eau de cologne is “Kölnisch Wasser” in German. It is sold as “Kölnisch Wasser” in the German speaking countries for several centuries anyway.
4711 — Echt Kölnisch Wasser.
their after shave is pretty good, rest is not. it’s got that grandma image.
Unrelated to “Cologne”, but concerning German… I bring this up as you seem to have a firm grasp of German.
The US Marines have a moniker from WWI, “Devil Dogs,” supposedly for the fierceness of their fighting at the Battle of Belleau Wood. As the story goes, the Germans were greatly impressed, reported the Marines as vigorous fighters and dubbed the Marines “Teufel Hunden.” Some say that this is just an old war story since proper German would be expressed as “Teufelshunde.” Others contend that the story has merit since “Teufel Hunden” is low, or common, German of its day (like what may have been spoken by the common soldier). My question is this… which position holds water? (whether it is one, both, or none).
My apologies if this question has been answered before… I’m rather new to the site.
I believe this may be the best explanation.
German Myth 13: Teufelshunde
Note, that in wiki, there is a caution about a contradiction and the article has no references.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teufelshunde
Hi Dez, even if it has been done before that was a great article to read. Full of interesting history facts. Thanks for being so informative. :smile:
Thanks to Pedantickarl and Capman911…
I served as a US Marine, and had been taught the tale since Boot Camp. So I have been motivated to learn the truth of the tale.
Unfortunately, though Karl provided some good articles, there is nothing definite to prove or disprove the story. Grammar points one way, and history another. The history and awards of the 5th and 6th regiments during WWI speaks volumes of their fighting prowess and spirit, lending credence to the tale.
Also, I have had relatives serving on both sides of WWI and WWII so there is much dispute on military history. For example, my British relatives that served in the Royal Navy claimed that their fleet sank the Bismark… while my German and Prussian relatives in the German Navy claim that the Bismark was scuttled before it could be sunk.
Hello celebornmars, I believe the single word “Kölnerwasser” is rarely used and seems to be an affected form which may be seen in advertising and such.
The the three most common forms are:
Kölner Wasser, Kölnisch Wasser, Kolnisches Wasser

4711 the famous cologne from Germany
If you see this site in German, there is a link in the upper right of the page where you can switch to English.
The history of 4711 cologne from 1792 through today.
Additional clarification:
In reference to the compound word, “Kölnerwasser”, it is not found in the Leo German dictionary. The compound word “Kölnischwasser” is in the Leo dictionary. (i.e. das Kölnischwasser)
http://dict.leo.org/
I made a little research on several German websites. I found that the name “Kölnisch Wasser” was given to the “Eau de Cologne” by Farina, the men who invented this product. So it could be considered as a trademark. I also found “Kölner Wasser” but I didn’t find enough elements so I don’t know exactly how the expression is used. I suppose that “Kölner Wasser” is more neutral than “Kölnisch Wasser”, which seem to be linked to the name of the maker. “Kölnerwasser” was the more plausible form of the word in German, but you seem to be right: it is merely used. The fact you found “Kölnischwasser” in the dictionary is not surprising because Germans very easily connect words to each other: “Kölnisch Wasser” in two words will probably not survive, like “Kölnerwasser” will become more frequently used than “Kölner Wasser”.

Yea I agree. Marina looked very sexy today. Im still shocked on how many outfit she owns. I think she secretly rents half of them. :twisted:
Kobe was awesome today too. Grabbed that toy right out of the air. And then flipped his bed over. Im not a big fan of dogs but Kobe is awesome. I think I could watch him for hours. The little guy is so entertaining. :grin:
That’s why I wish Miss M would put him in more videos. Kobe just adds that little touch of comedy to the lessons. :grin:

I only beat up the clients (or potential customers) who ask for a rough estimate… but only leave them bleeding on the floor if they’re bigger’n me. But usually a little slap closes the deal.

Watching the last video on cologne, I was chewing a piece of Orbit gum, which led me to wonder where the the word “Gum” came from. I would make a video response, but cannot think for the life of me how to transition from cologne to chewing gum. Haha, thank you. :smile:
cama (Ancient Egyptian) -> kommi (Ancient Greek) -> gummis (Latin).
I love the old Roadrunner and Coyote cartoons!
I’ve always wondered where the word ACME came from!
Thx!
I did a quick Wiki and there is many issues with unverifiable citations. Can’t be trusted. Though it does give some incite of how it came about. :smile:
Jack it could be this company. Remember the Coyote was always ordering from ACME. This company seems to carry everything.

I use P.S. Cologne. I got it because it was my initials, but it actually smells good. Where I live it seems we have more of a problem with people who SHOULD here cologne. The other day I was walking into the court house and there was a line to go through the security check and the man in front of me smelled so bad I could hardly breathe. When he reached the security police, one of them sprayed a can of room deodorizer they keep handy. It must happen a lot for them to keep that can there.
I meant “should wear” not “here” Sorry I never proof read until it’s too late.
Sweet, I just caught up with the Lorem Ipsum video, and get to see this one just before I go to sleep (it’s 1:30 or so in the morning atm) :smile:
Asathecomic is so right about men wearing too much cologne. I had a teacher back at primary school many years ago, and she wore too much perfume. It was a nice perfume, but I ended up sneezing shortly after, as it was too overpowering :sad:
Until now I only knew about the french city Cologne. It was great to hear the origin of this word. Thanks Marina!! You Rock!! :cool:
The ‘Eau de Toilette’ part of this video reminded me of the phrase from Lost In Space (Movie/Tv Show) which I tweaked a bit – “Eau de pain. Eau de pain of it all” ;)
Congratz to James for becoming the Teacher’s Pet !! :grin:
Jya mata ne fellow readers :grin:
german!
More exactly, Cologne was a French city during the Empire of Charlemagne (the capital of France was Aix-la-Chapelle, which is today a German city called Aachen), and during the Empire of Napoleon.
The real name is Köln, isn’t it?
Yes, Hitman, in German the city is called Köln. The name Cologne is used in English and also in French. In Italian Cologne is still called Colonia.
It used to be french, so I was half right :razz:
The French are always half right. Though some Americans will insist that they are always half wrong. Oh, did you think that John Paul Jones’s ship, the Bonhomme Richard, was an American ship? You’re half wrong/right. It was a gift from France!
Marina,
I usualy use a lot of skin cream such as Aloe Based Jergens then I wash it off wiht brute or sea-breeze or isoperic Alchohol to just start reapplying.
The reason for this is I do alot of working out and need the skin to be forgiven.

That was a great video. I liked the different style in which you did this one. I am glad you put Kobe in this one as he adds to your video. I also like your choice of Tartans that you wear. Do you have any MaClaurin tartans as they are a green and blue?
Home work. My favorite perfume for a woman to wear is White Linen.
Try this one instead.

Or this one – Oliver sounds pretty much like Orlova.
Yes it does. So I guess she wears red tartans because red does make her look even better or even hotter that she is. :cool: It’s weird how just a little change in the tartan color can mean another clan’s colors. I think I’ll ask Marina if she would do a lesson on the tartans.
There’s also an Oliver Dress tartan in red and blue and another in red, white and blue like the new Russian flag.
That was an awesome snag Kobe made. What a funny dog.

Hey Geronimo. Do you mind if I use one of your pictures from Flickr as a back ground for my computer? That is some beautiful country sights.
I wouldn’t mind at all cap, in fact I would be flattered. Which one is it? Did you see what I added yesterday?
No I haven’t, I’ll go back and look some more ,thanks.
They aren’t much, but I am constantly adding new ones.
I used this one. It’s just so serene and would make a beautiful camp site

Yes, this was taken from our campsite. We are already planning a return trip in three weeks.
Some great pics there, geronimo, and the water was an unbelievable blue … kind of like Marina’s eyes.
James has a small lake near where he lives in England, that is a similar colour, and it’s caused by suspended clay particles in the water scattering the reflected light from the blue sky.
How do you know I have a lake nearby :?: :?: :???:
You and cap should sign up at flickr. It is free and you don’t have to load pics of your own if you don’t want to, but it would be cool if you did. I am constantly adding new pics including just a few minutes ago.
glad I inspired you to request gibberish. :mrgreen:
This came quick it seems.

How rude!!! zxcvbnm
Thats odd. I never noticed you posted on my channel 3 times and each comment was a bit different. Smokey36bear posted a comment 2 days ago.. I saw his icon and thought I had read it.. and only noticed it was a new comment this morning
What’s gotten into you James. One minute your saying things back to me that are rude like right now and then before you said “what you can’t read”!!! If it’s a no comment policy between us then fine. You just made another enemy.
Arrgh.. No its not like that at all capman.. Thats the problem with the net.. It was said in the jokey sense not the “i took offence” sense
Yes that was the page I was referring to. Every thing is cool James. Every time I see !!!! marks behind a sentence I take it as someone being pissed off. That is what got me and Miss M into our little problem was the !!!! marks. :wink: :smile:
Its annoying how that happens.. I never really get pissed off. Only with my mum
I have tried to comment on two other utube sites today and it would not take the comments. But I did a small comment on Marinas utube site and it took it. I guess it will show up on the other two sites in a couple of days.
I know.. I had that earlier. .. I gave up
YT is having major problems today and yesterday. I guess they are doing upgrades or fixing bugs and its affecting their systems.
TP nice going James :mrgreen:
