Caesar’s Salad
Is Caesar’s Salad named after Julius Caesar? Or a Mexican guy? After eating the salad for years, I decided to finally investigate this!

mmmmm Caesar salad munch munch lol. Marina and the hotforprofits girl have such great bodies. I guess those salads would be a big part of the reason why.
Just to let you know this my random lesson—stats are fine–I gotta pick tomatoes, frost came :evil:
Another random lesson: Love this feature, it makes for more learning of all the great teaching talents, you make of these lessons. Et.Y.Ma*** [Eu.pho.ri.a]…[Ex.cog.i.gate] …[exten.u.ate]…[e-qui-pol-lence]…does this transpose? :grin:
Caesar salad does go well with a Corona beer, now I know why :)
Marina I have a request – in this video, how does your top stay on? It seems to defy gravity and strain a few other laws of physics.
:cool: have good day :smile:
ok .. let’s see what i’ve been missing since my self imposed drought.
(i didn’t realise i’d missed so many of M’s vids!!)
How ya been? my random and happy souls day…. :cool: :evil:
hiya! .. long time no see. :grin:
right now i’m strugglin’ with the idea of creating an anim to go with my (finally) finished song: Skull Island .. pity it ent ready for this inauspicious day.
so, how’s you then? .. all cylinders firing?
Hey mijj,
I see you sneaking up on us.
Watch out, M may just want to have a word with you or two.
How have you been?
I keep up with your tweets, so that’s good.
Glad to see you stop by.
been fine n dandy, mistah .. trying to get my ass back into gear tho (been far too leisurely recently).
yeh .. i see your tweets too .. and i notice you n captainjack have a habit of complementing each other on hotness. Very suspicious.
:lol: :smile: In the USA, cocaine was sold over-the-counter until 1914. It was widely used in tonics, toothache cures, patent medicines, and chocolate cocaine tablets. Prospective buyers were advised (in the words of pharmaceutical firm Parke-Davis) that cocaine “could make the coward brave, the silent eloquent, and render the sufferer insensitive to pain”.
When combined with alcohol, it yielded a further potently reinforcing compound, now known to be cocaethylene. Thus cocaine was a popular ingredient in wines, notably Vin Mariani. Coca wine received endorsement from prime-ministers, royalty and even the Pope.
piercing for decorationhel.lo :???:
One medical use that was found early in the history of cocaine, and which the drug is still used for today (rarely), is that of a good surface anesthetic. Beginning in the late 1880s surgical procedures using local anesthetics (numbing a specific area to pain) were starting to be used instead of general anesthesia (rendering a person unconscious).
This was due to experiments that were conducted by William Halstead, using cocaine. William Halstead was one of the four founders of The Johns Hopkins Medical School. He is often referred to as the Father of American Surgery.
Unfortunately William experimented on himself by injecting cocaine, to see if surgery could be performed using cocaine as a local anesthetic. After experimenting for a time, he became addicted.
:smile: :cool: I love the British…for mijj
wow! .. thanks for that H.S.Thomson vid .. i never thought to search for anything re him on YT. .. that’s a great step forward for my brain.
ps: “I love the british” .. course you realise that, until the ’70s, LSD was our official currency, don’t you.

Hi Marina…
Maybe you should investigate the origin of the word Fajitas…..its not Mexican….!
Hi Marina! This is mexicanyakuza, thanks for investigating the origin of Cesar Salad! Hugs from sunny Mexico!!! I love you! bye…. mexicanyakuza…..
My favorite salad dressing is Rhode Island Dressing, which is a Swedish variation of Thousand Islands Dressing. In fact, the best-selling salad dressing in Sweden is Rhode Island. Yes, it’s true! Just ask any native Swede (not a Swedish-Amercan) and I’m confident that they’ll confirm this fact.
How do you make it?? :?: :grin: :cool: :smile:
Hey what about smattering :?: Everyone knows what it means but, how did it come about :?: Oh yea, and not to seem pretentious or annoying but, I believe you will find its Iulius Caesar, pronounced “i/ee/ie – u/oo – l – i/ee/ie – u/oo – s _ k – ai/ei/ae/eye – s – a/ah – r” not, “J – oo/ew/y/u – l – i/ee/ie – u/oo – s _s – ie/i/ee – z -uh/e/i – r”, its just unnecessarily erroneous, and for what, national stupidity?
Woops…
hey what about smattering :?: everyone knows what it means but how did it come about :?:
But Cesare was himself named after Caesar, so in a way the salad is, too.
new video is up

Marina: Today I am going to a rock, paper, scissor, contest to win a car. It is also called roshambo. Do you know why?
Why you are going to an RPS contest :?: :wink:
to try to win a car?
good luck….studies show that males have a preference for rock first, while women have a preference for paper first…
Ciao,
Fianchetto1
Now you tell me. That would have been good to know. I made it to the fourth round out of seven rounds. I still won $50, so I didn’t walk away empty handed.
Marina,
I came across your wonderful website through YouTube, and after watching a few of your posts have become a firm fan. The topics you cover a most instructive and entertaining, and I have to comment that your I find your seemingly relentless assiduity most alluring.
Keep up the good work in seeking to educate us all. It’s SUCH fun!
Yours ever
joylight
WELCOME :mrgreen:
i watched a retro Budweiser commercial on my channel. The food I’m not familiar with is a Wasabi. What’s a wasabi?
Wasabi…Kemosabe (trusty scout) I grew up listening to the lone ranger shows, ever here of it?
I WANT ONE!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDU5BU_qSJU&feature=related
That’s cool I want one too :grin:
I would be intrigued to know the meaning of the word ”power,” since it’s such a significant word when it comes to pop culture, the media, government, etc.
hi, i want to knw the definition / origin of the word ‘EMO’ Please….
my youtube account is – youtube.com / user / 888Mujahid888
fanks :idea:
emotional?
contrary to popular opinion, “emo” is the name of an moronic standup comic that was popular in the late 80′s and 90′s, emo phillips. in the u.s. people started calling people who didn’t have a clue, “emo” punks, metal heads, goths and myself used it frequently to describe the kids who were posers and lacked adequate understanding of the counter culture to get true street cred. watch the video you’ll see what i mean. “emo” does not mean emotional.
no depressed goth, agitated punk or brooding metal head is going to use “emotional” as an insult. it was never used to describe a type of music that people listen to. i mean really, “hey lets call this music… emotional or emotive music… or just emo!” no, didn’t happen. i mean listen to iggy pop, pigface or motorhead and think, “no no no, not emotional”
i mean compare emo phillips to my chemical romance you’ll agree. okay, i’m done ranting.
I don’t have the luxury of multi level replies… so I did reply to you on Karate (A little email tag or nudge would be a nice feature on this site to keep the replys in the right place)
“panopticon” is a word I’ve never used & may never again. but We here have a prison system that is quite unusual in its security. As a visitor (done this) for an afternoon social visit, I have to first of all, apply & qualify, (paper trail) then on being approved, go through the searches & drug sniffers etc. leave my ID at the front entrance & again pass inspection on the way out. On another occasion (not a planned social) I was amazed how lax the security was. I have a truck that will carry a cord of wood & since the prison is on the waterfrount, driftwood is always available & the inmates cut it up & sell it for firewood. On request of an Inmate I took my truck, uninspected, into the prison acerage & escorted…
(unescorted once) drove to the beach where the wood was stacked, only one admin staff (no guard)… inmates loaded the wood into the enclosed truck & I drove to the compound entrance & left (uninspected) after signing the documents(even inadvetantly stole a visitor tag once). The wood was for an inmate’s wife, who could of had her husband delivered home by me because they never even looked in the back of the truck on my way out & only once on my way in. I’ve done this three times in a two year period.
that was wierd, that reply I’m sure I put to aLx???
Chemikal romance link ended up “not availble in my country” Which song?
No thanks.. Too depressing

bootblack what does it mean il be happy if you tell :roll:
Hi HFW’s,
Heinz Salad Cream is my fav. not very ambitious I know but is to die for. Have been known to take a jar with me when traveling. Hellmans mayo with tuna mind, is most enjoyable. Anchovies, blaaaah, they wig me out. — PHRASE request please HFW’s, G-sib William celebrated his fifth b-day yesturday; when giving me a slice of his B-day cake he said ‘this is how you get a fat women into bed uncle Mat! peace of cake!’ So un-PC :shock: — So question, how does ‘peace of cake’ come to mean ‘easy’? :???: — he then went on to with ‘what do you call a lesbian dinosaur? Ans: I Like to lick alot of puss’ :shock: — he knows nothing of meaning of lesbian or puss by the way but thinks it was an actual creature that once lived, which made it really funny. Oh the joy they bring. :grin:
Looking tip top as ever M :smile:
Jeopardize
This word doesn’t look or sound like any other English word. Where does it come from?
This is my word request.

Hello my dear teacher, I wolud like to know what does it mean ” pope”.
Greatins from italy
Davide
Hi!
I want to know!
whats the origin of ‘alien’ :?:
that’s an easy one. “Alien” comes from the Latin word “alia” which means “other”. An “alias” is your other name. “et al.” is an abbreviation for “et alias” meaning “and others” and of course “others” are those who come from another country. Thus, they are “alien”.
xxoo my dear classmates… Natalia (nat)
et alii.
hi, what does ”bootblack” exactly mean and do people still use that word? best wishes and thank you for being here
years ago i had a friend that ate her salads without dressing…none at all! so i decided to try it, and surprisingly i liked it! nowadays i seldom have dressing on my salads at all – just a sprinking of salt & pepper and i’m good-to-go.
when i do have dressing on my salads it’s the dressing of my youth – italian, the zestier the better…
i also had a friend that ate her salads without dressing. And that’s the naked truth. :shock:
whats the origin of ‘alien’ :?:
My youtube channel:

First the egg opens, then the facehugger jumps out and sticks its tentacles down your throat, then the baby alien bursts from your stomach with a chilling screech.

Hi, Marina!! Thanks a lot for new lesson!
I spended some time in Middle East and I would like to know the origins of name of the one arabic dish “Shaurma”, maybe it will be interesting to other too. СпаÑибо!

Hello:
Recipe idea:
Musolini Burrito
Wheat flour tortilla for wrapping. Beef and turkey strips for the meat portion. Marinara sauce, Pizza cheese and parsley.
I love caesar salads, but NEVER heard of putting anchovies in it… groooooooooss!!!
I once got an anchovy at Little Caesar’s pizza, just to try it. Nasty. So, I offered it to my cat. He didn’t want it either. When a cat refuses fish… that’s a nasty fish.
Marina you are hitting like a heavyweight the vote 3078 :lol: happy for you :lol: :lol: :lol:
Peanut dressing.
Marina, could we have hyperlinks at the bottom so instead of typing
we can just click the bit of code we want.
and it comes up here
James
marina,
could i have someone typing for me?
It’s mot like that alx :???:
someone subscribed to my favourites. This has not happened to me before. What does it mean
in stead of seeing the videos you posted recently in the subscription box he/she will see the videos you favorited…
I remember this being my favorite word for awhile, but I’d like to know the origin of “panopticon“
sounds much like bentham …
See above in Buzz’s box, I think I figured out how it got there, Oops.
my favorite dressing is bleu cheese….or bacon fat….hehehe…ok …ive got one that my grand father claims he came up with….i know hes wrong but i cant proove him so…its the phrase “catch 22″ we used to play chess alot together but as he got older and got more shaky hed pick up his pice and lay it toward mine but knock down al the pieces pretty much everywhere….we set them back up the best we remembered and after he made a good move he always told my catch 22….damned if i do and damned if i dont….hehehe…funny how he always knew where to put my pieces but when i questioned his….catch 22…damned if you do and damned if you dont….hehehehe god rest his soul….but i know hes not gonna rest
Don’t tell Jeff Foxworthy you like bacon fat….
whats the origin of ‘Hate’ ?
I always thought hippies were all about “Peace, brother!” But I heard they used to Haight-Ashbury.
ROFL! ROFL! ROFL!
Wierd kinda like the toilet not invented by Crapper guy.
hi Marina… i got a word… it’s bug, it’s used in software development. i heard it comes from the Mark II computer when a real bug, inside the system, caused an malfunction… but i don’t trust the source… so, thx, have a nice day :)
The term “Bug” was used within the computing industry as a shortened form of the word “debugging”. An activity performed by the electrical engineers to remove dead insects from the vacuum tube circuitry which constituted the machines inner workings, who had crawled there, that is the pests not the engineers, to get warm and electrocuted themselves. Their dead bodies would continue to short the circuits until they were removed. The machines where built in unheated environments. If this wasn’t done the machines did very poorly in arithmetic and insisted that one plus one equaled three.
To find out more use this phrase “History of the Word Debugging”.
the origin of the homework
OK I got a word for you to find out about. It is “gasoline”. I only know that Rockafeller would dump it in the river at night. It was a bi-product of kerosine. Kind of like carbon is to humans. I was curious if you could figure out were the word came from.
oh and for me it is french dressing
Ranch Dressing for me. still curious about natural hair color. Have a great day.
My favorite dressing is ranch mixed with buffalo sauce.
Wow.. after another night lost reading up for my exams, today after I passed even the last one… I checked my e-mail, and found the HWF new video alert.
Oh, I said… that’s cool, let’s see what Marina cooked up this time… Caesar’s Salad, yum.
And before I knew it, I was smiling blissfully towards my monitor, forgetting all of the hard times and the fatigue accumulated during my examination period.
I couldn’t have received a better reward today!
Thank you, Marina!
studying for exams?
my commiserations. + more power to your elbow.
Hello Chemikal,
I’ll bet that it made your weekend.
:cool:
Potato salads are good food and the best is German style potato salad. Dressing naked is barely serviced. Anchovie paste added :grin:
i love potato salad, too. :)
when i was in germany, i had some in a restaurant. And when the waitress came back for the plates, i wanted to say “ausgezeichnete”, but instead i ended up saying “ausge scheisse nete”.
i.e. “excellent” came out as “shit out nete” (as far as google translate can make out)
:oops:
rofl.
hi marina :smile: ,
could you please give us the origin of the word ((banana)) :wink:
thanks very much.
It reminds me of a sex tip from AtheneWins on Youtube:
Tania: “Sex tip # (?): What’s a banana?” :mrgreen:
Hey Marina!!
I have a word request (actually, a phrase request):
Why is a baby shower called a baby shower?
I mean, at a baby shower, it doesn’t rain babies…so why s it called this?
Thanks for taking this into consideration!
Hoodster
Maybe it has something to do with people showering gifts as well as love and support for the new baby to arrive.
For you Marina – a Russian Caesar Salad – A Tsar Salad!
http://www.ciao.co.uk/Recipes_for_Side_Dishes__Review_5592500
I’ve noticed there’s no Marina this whole thread. OH NO! WHERE CAN SHE BE?! :cry:
I think she is in the kitchen eating her salad. :mrgreen:
While singing karaoke and doing karate because it is her forTAY. :lol:
i heard her say on the radio that it takes eight hours to do a video seven days a week sometime you just got too get away frome it even if you like what you are doing God bless her :lol:
Lately I’ve been leaning more towards something fruity with a bit acidity. So my current dressing of choice is Raspberry Vinaigrette.
ok .. another salad based limerick spark .. any takers?
To make a salad requires lots of luck …
no takers for this limerick? .. this sucks
Yeah, Let’s have it!
What’s a limerick? I’ve been hearing that word somewhere but I forgot.
Limerick is an Irish town of course :mrgreen:
Or a limerick is a little poem but generally the subject is not very poetical. :oops:
To make a salad requires lots of luck …
no takers for this limerick? .. this sucks
It’s all tattered and torn
and bitter and forlorn
:oops: It’s standing here exposed as a shmuck.
i would love to know the origin of the word
“graffiti”
great video btw.
It comes from the Greek verb “graphein” (to draw).
ah yes .. but .. where does the greek “graphein” come from?
Anyone here from the bay area?
i’ve heard of “bay area” .. and “greenpackers” springs to mind – dunno why tho.
dude, you could be addressing anyone in the world… which bay area?
I take that as a no. If you know the bay area its in California. :neutral:
well i thought you meant cali, but i’ve visited two other bay areas, mississippi and virginia that’s why i wanted to know which one you were referring to. cool?
I see, I see. I don’t travel much around the U.S :neutral:
woah, buzz … absolutely no illegal substances for at least a decade. Only drink rarely now, too.
However… i do check out stuff akin to ginseng and gingko etc. :) .. oh .. and essential oils are real influential too. (frankinsense and clary sage are my favorites)
the bay area Los angels to San Francisco :?:
San Francisco
Not so much L.A but yeah SF and like Oakland, Vallejo, Berkley, and others.
Hello protac6,
Yes, since ’89. East Bay. I see that you’re in San Jose. I just moved to the San Jouquin Valley- too hot!
Oh nah, I’m in SF
A #1 video, Marina – 5 stars, total yummy hotnesssss…. :mrgreen:
Homework -
Mixed green salad including broccoli, lettuce, cauliflower,
carrots, bean sprouts, cherry tomatoes, iceberg and
Romaine lettuce, grated cheese and croutons, topped
with Hidden Valley Ranch Original House dressing.
When’s lunch? :smile:
i’m going to avoid watching the Marina vids for a few days…
My brain overloaded on the allure: hallucinations, rapture and delusions were induced. While very useful for creativity, it’s very emotionally draining. Time to reset Marina back to being merely an attractive, pleasant person.
mijj, your sucking too deep on the hookah.
i never said what was in your hookah, that’s your business. now stop moving around damn you! i can get your replies.
oh .. well … this reply business is confusing .. i know i have a reply because i get an email saying i got a reply in my post, and i get a link which takes me there.
so .. i assumed it’s the same for you .. but … i suspect not!
anyhoo .. i use Clary Sage oil too .. and i double checked : .. it includes:
aphrodisiac, euphoric
all the other stuff i mess with does weird stuff with brain activity too .. and increases sensitivity to the effects of the oils.
you got any links i could follow up on regarding this oily issue?
Alright, who’s going to put odds on how many day’s mijj can go without… ah, watching a vid.We got polling on the website, can we get some online betting action?
yeh .. buzzy .. the oils .. i’m going to look around and see if i can dig out a few refs that do more than just give shopping info.
lol, BillyB .. my vid viewing (in conjunction with my legal chemical experiments) involving Marina induced a state of mind conducive to my studies of the occult which are of the purest, most moral and craziest variety and not about mundane physical … erm …
anyway :oops: my aim is to be able to watch a Marina vid and think “gosh! what she said about that word is interesting” .. and not fall victim to the heart stopping allure of her charisma.
while i’m checking round, buzzwords … here’s some thoughts …
when i check out these oils, i basically check for the claimed influences they have and not bother if the claims are backed up with hard evidence …
… these things arent dangerous, and the point is to get benefit from them, rather than conduct a scientific study. So, bearing in mind the effects are subtle, i just use them and if i feel somthing’s benefitial in anyway, even if it’s just a nice smell, then i hang onto it.
The mix i use most frequently is:
Frankincense
Clary Sage
Ylang Ylang
i use these if i want to get into a spacy and penetrating study mode .. it also induces (for me) a very (in the child’s sense) christmassy feel.
I use a mix of
Spearmint
Peppermint
.. if i feel a bit stuffy or fluish, etc.
… these are also good if you want your landlady to believe your flat is clean and tidy without going to all the bother of actually cleaning or tidying.
Estate Agents (Realtors) also use a particular essential oil for homes they’re trying to sell. I can’t remember which one, though. Makes people feel like they’ve walked into a fresh bright roomy house, etc.
Buzz mentions above “My chemical romance”…be careful, I don’t mix any chemical or natural stimulants & tried to quit (viewing) once… thought I was a “free will” guy… swinging a little more “determainist” lately…’til I decide to swing back.
good thinking, BillyB
… really, the chemicals i’m dealing with are not powerful illegal type substances or even much in the way of stimulants .. merely enhancers and aids to concentration.
I’m not going for a high via chemicals or other external means, i’m merely clearing the channels.
i found that considering and getting my head around the reality of the occult creates a massively ethereal and otherworldly sense of being – which of course, means i’m crazy. :)
My background (long ago before university) included the regular use of powerful chemicals – i’ve found the state of mind induced by controlled perception is far superior to any state of mind induced by chemicals. Mainly, i guess, because it has the sense of presence and super-reality.
My sense of enchantment, etc with Marina while in that state revealed to me meanings in what i was examining that would otherwise be merely a collection of words. However.. on reflection … i guess this is creepy because she’s a woman presenting vids about words – she’s not expecting to be in the role of a high priestess who’s the spiritual force which is the complementary half of a fanciful chivalric quest to uncover the secrets of the occluded universe.
:oops:
… erm .. so basically, i’m trying to show some respect by trying not to be enchanted.
Hello mijj,
How is/was your rehabilitation? Did you get the shakes? Did you quit cold turkey or find a substitute? I agree with you that every once in awhile we need to reboot our system or we overload ourselves with Marina’s sight(site) and interesting lessons. But like any other addiction it’s difficult to stay on the wagon. Right now I’m trying to catch up on all of my newsletters and e-mails and yet I stop by here and get distracted by all of the interesting comments and links. I’m catching up again since I’ve been too busy with work. I was stuck out of town twice this week and now it’s my saturday and this is what I call relaxing.
it was a tuff rehabilitation, Warren. If she didn’t have a brain she’d be easy to cope with. If she didn’t have a bod, she’d be easy to cope with. If she didn’t have wit, she’d be easy to cope with. But all those together is too intense for me.
However .. i found a weakness in the mix. She actually chose (and was not forced by circumstance) to live in California in the shadow of the showbiz empire. No reason why she wouldnt want to do that .. but it’s a character aspect that doesnt ring for me .. so .. whew!! – i can hang onto that in times of peril!
anyway .. it’s relatively easy now i don’t watch the vids.
I come to this site cos i like the material Marina sets up and i like the banter.
and .. i have to admit .. i get a delicious zing when M replies to a post – and that keeps my plate spinning. :)
oops .. try again …
There once was a salad named “Caeser” …
…made with anchovies to please her.
With croutons and egg
the people would beg…
Anchovies are the best.
There goes our limerick! LOL :mrgreen:

Why do people say I’ll take care of it shortly but never say I’ll take care of it longly? :shock: :grin:
Marina’s fans often view her longingly – go figger :mrgreen:
melikadothechacha, somehow that made me think of the naked lady covered in gold in Goldfinger. Go figger!
ranch dressing is the best
My friend Eddie Garcia used to call me the salad man because I would eat salads often. I don’t use any dressing. I think it takes away from the flavor of the fresh veggies. If I do feel like a dressing I use just some sort of olive oil and a fancy vinegar. When I make a salad its big, and I mean big. I fill up an entire dinner plate to the point the veggies are falling off. My salads are so colorful I sometime have to take a pictures of them.
Here’s one for example.
Wow I just posted this photo and I already have one comment on it for a list of ingredients. Heck I don’t remember. I just grab and dash. :mrgreen:
Oh I don’t remember exactly, but I started with a bag of a variety lettuce . Red and Yellow peppers, Cherry tomatoes, Cucumbers, Olives, Tangerines, Dill weed sprinkled on top, dill pickles, avocados, mushrooms, Salt and Pepper. Oh and some Garlic powder. As an alternate I sometime put on salami slices or pepperoni slices, feta cheese, or cheddar cheese. Sometimes I use lemon pepper. Many times I don’t use any dressing. I think they take away from the flavor of the salad. If I do put something on it, i use and olive oil and some fancy vinegar. There are many kinds out there to try out. I make my salads different every day so I don’t get bored with it. Just experiment with what you have. See what you like and what you don’t like. Everyone has different taste preferences.
What exactly do you do in your videos?
Can you be a bit more specific? I have two YT accounts for one thing. One is for professional work and the other is for fun.
looks good captainjack no jalapeno peppers they would be good on it
I can’t take the hot stuff man. Damn things about kill me. I puts a very tiny pieces in my tacos from time to time. Even that is too much. :roll:
If I ate that much, it would be a seizure salad.
:lol: Man! You’re on fire – firing on twelve cylinders.
Yes, and now I’m ready for forty winks!
i once experienced a phase where i could only eat ceasar salad when i ate out. i dont eat out often but during that time i ate ALOT of caesar salad. its interesting to see how differently it can be made by different cafes and resaurants etc.
maybe i only care about the production cos i work in the food industry tho. hehe.
hey marina what about briefs versus jocks? where did the word jock come from when describing mens underpants AND the sporty guys from america!
we dont use the term jock here in australia (for sporty guy)
OMG i forgot to put some smilies throughout the comment so here is a great influx:

the rolling eyes one is so mean, so i hate it. :mrgreen:
1> I LOVE your video of Marina’s sister :-)
2> Re: favouritist, please check out my link below on my previous post:-)
Russian dressing is OK too. I’m a ranch kind of guy. I’d like to pass on the raw egg and anchovies please….
Russian is my #1. French is my #2. After that, any lady who is un-dressing will do.
Caesar Salad, the best… must use fork, never added the anchoves?
Love the way my wife makes the dressing, anybody that partakes, comes back for more, but sits alone for awhile.
Add chicken breast…damn I’m hungry.
My Dear Teacher,
Could you please explain to me the origins of the word ‘varsity’.
Thank you.
Your constantly improving student,
Toptank1.
I’m guessing its something about being elite or something about sports. Interesting.
My Dear Teacher,
I am pretty new to this site, but see immediately that you are doing a tremendously wonderful job, and in a way that is so beautifully and uniquely YOU! Please don’t stop :-)
I have viewed many of the videos, and noticed that many have a severe discussion of slang/profanity – to use it or refrain, and many of my fellow students type something followed by the question, “Is that a word?”
Well, I have found for you a lexicographer who has an interesting set of ideas about words, and dictionaries, and wish to share her views with you and all my fellow students. I know you have a poll set up on the matter, but would like to have some feedback, particularly from you, but from anyone who wishes to put their two cents in.
Anyway, here’s the link to Erin’s 16 minutes of fame:-)
http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/erin_mckean_redefines_the_dictionary.html
Enjoy, and please tell me what you, Dear Teacher, and you all, fellow students think of the matter. Enjoy!
Ciao,

Marita, Just to reinforce what Fianchetto1 said… Yes, Erin’s talk at ted.com is just what a philologist needs to study. AND I have found Ted.com one of the most interesting and inspiring and just plain AWESOME sites… Ok, this is a bit far afield from philology,…. but my favorite TED.com talk is the one by Jill Taylor (a brain scientist) “My Stroke of Insight” http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/jill_bolte_taylor_s_powerful_stroke_of_insight.html ENJOY!
Thanks, I like that one a lot as well:-)
Ciao,
Fianchetto1
In her Talk, Erin says basically that THE NET = LEXICOGRAPHY = WORDS + ENTHUSIASM. I offer a corrollary: WORDS + ENTHUSIASM + MARINA = ATOMIC FUSION.
i joined ted.com so i could comment on the video :mrgreen:
They have EVERYTHIN!!!!! …ribits that replicate, robots that teach themselves to walk…then teanch themselves to walk with a damaged leg. Close 2md to Marina fro my favouritest websites
TED is a great site with lots of great presentations. One day we’ll see Marina give a great talk on word origins. I liked your comment misscupcake. :smile:
that was fucking cool link, thanks. she made some good points, especially the ones that validate my own opinions. this is a link to erin’s site.
thanks!, but must beg to differ..that site is MORE than cool….it’s cutting edge EVERYTHING! Please eplore it…btw, T.E.D. is acronym fot Technology, Entertainment and Design :-) Glad you liked it!

i’m familiar with t.e.d. but have never come across that lecture. lots of interesting subjects represented. hey, if you ever run across any other sites you find noteworthy give me a link.
Gladly. Site is TED.com, on Youtube, the TED Director has a page where he posts recent talks…visit my u-tube site, he is in my favourites. link there, and make him one of your favourites, too :-)
Ciao,

Fianchetto1 that was very interesting thank you for putty it on
ha! that was fucking great! exactly what i’ve been thinking and saying. thanks a lot for this link.
You are a pretty frequent flier here, please urge our Dear teacher to have a peek. Thanks to all for the feedback so far!
Ciao, Fianchetto1
Perhaps now, when we feel a discussion of profanity, slang, etc. coming on, give them this link and then we canmove on to more meaningful discussion instead of re-hashing the same-old thing over and over again. Further, personally, I would like to have a button on the home page: “Is This a Word?”, and have it link directly to this talk.
Ciao,

if it looks like a word, just use it.
President’s English, nice lol! hey how do you stick photos on your profile:?:
When I first signed on, I had a mutan alien, too :-)
In Our Dear Teacher’s Help/FAQ, I found:
How do I get one of those cute pictures next to my comments?
They are called “gravatars” which are Globally Recognized Avatars – would that be part acronym part portmanteau? Go to this website and register your email address that you used to register on this website and upload a picture and it will show up on all your comments – even retroactively! It’s a universal service and I think it works on all WordPress websites you comment on. If the gravatar does not show up right away, it may be that I am caching the images so it may take a day for it to show up, so be patient, but if it doesn’t show up after a while, email me and I’ll look into it. If you don’t pick a gravatar image, you are assigned a random monster image… but that image will change to your gravater once you make one.
I went there, – it has live links there, none are showing up in my cut-and-paste copy here. click the links, follow the directions, and pu whatever digital image you like. :-)
:mrgreen: My favorite dressing is “oil and vinegar” because I’m lactose intolerant and I avoid any dressing with dairy products. By the way,why don’t you find out the origin of lactose and how it affects the foods we eat.
I once asked a guy who mows big lawns why he wears such short shoes. He explained, “Because I lack toes.” I was so turned off by the vivid thought of how this might have happened, that now I avoid him. I have become “lack toes” intolerant.
chuckle chuckle
:mrgreen: Did he ever try oil and vinegar on his feet to grow toes? I hear it works wonders!
hi marina,
I would like to request “corny” as in when someone says something awkard and it is refered to as corny. Why? Something to do with corn?
Thnx
Do toe fungi ever become corn stalkers?
I would like to request “going nuts”
I like Thousand Island, but I only eat a couple hundred at one sitting.
ROFL! Can’t breath. ROFL!
:grin: There’s a word that I’ve never had told to me because I’m awful at blackjack, winner winner chicken dinner. What does chicken dinners have to do with blackjack?
Yup, why it’s called “Hollywood”, the origin o that word, and i want to know too the origin of the word “origin” hahahaha
Young Brits talking about the lasses:
“So. Do you think Molly would?”
“Golly, no!”
“What about Dolly?”
“Maybe with a collie…”
“What about Polly?”
“Golly, no! But methinks Holly would!”
“Jolly good!”
Hi Marina!
I’ve recently watched the shout out video about ‘holy cow’. The word holy reminded me about a famous place: Hollywood. Why is it called hollywood? Were there any sacred trees or something?
I’m curious about the word, so plz tell us its origin. I hope to see u in the next “Hollywood” video :mrgreen: (and to be next teacher’s pet if possible :lol: )
Bye!
:neutral: Sacred? There is nothing sacred about Hollywood these days. It’s spelled HOLLYwood, not HOLYwood (if that is where you are thinking where sacred is from).
my favorite dressing is ranch.
this is completely random but what is the orgin of the word”blogana” (don’t know if its spelled right.)
it seems like the weirdest name for a meat.
bologna
Blogana is a blogger’s nirvana.
My favorite is blue cheese dressing. What is the origin of “BLUE CHEESE” any way? Its not actully blue, so why is it called that?
it’s kinda blue -.- they could also have said purplely green blueish cheese :???: i’d go with just blue….
It’s the mold, :shock: :shock: rotting fungi. :eek: :eek:
Black mage, ha.
speaking of cheese …
Casu Marzu may be the most revolting cheese in the entire Orion spiral arm of the Milky Way galaxy.

However, it should be noted: the above website uses frames, and so should be treated with suspicion.
dammit!!
forgot about blockquote throwing away line spaces again.
grrrrrr
When I was a kid, it use to be Thousand Island. But when I got older, I changed to French. And now a days I get bored with French dressing, that I switch to Italian. I use to like Caesar dressing, in salads and certain sandwiches, but I don’t care much for it as I use to.
When I got older, I changed to French. Et maintenant j’aimerais bien changer de nouveau. Mais quelle langue dois-je choisir ?
Ti consiglio l’italiano :mrgreen:
Danke schön.
:???: What is that? French? Even though my adoptive surname is French, I don’t speak a word of French.
why is it that diamonds are a girl’s best friend, but a man’s best friend is his dog?
What’s going on here? .. what’s the deal?
Neither would probally be either best friend, if the dog were to accidently ate the diamond and would have to wait for it to poop it out. :mrgreen:
Why is that diamonds are a girl’s best friend? Marilyn answers that one in “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.”
Hello Hot For Words, I would like to request that you make a video about the word sarcasm. I use sarcasm all the time but now I want to kno what sarcasm actually means… Thank You ~I Love Russian Men~
1) smoking hot
2) Marina
ps; enjoy all yur videos… educational indeed
Homework: Caesar’s salads are the best. So, Caesar dressing rules.
I’ll make my order toga.
Nice lesson! But what about the origin of the word “marijuana”?
Invented by a poet. Something had to rhyme with “iguana.”
Soup and Salad with buttermilk dressing for me.
Teach, is the Stone Soup Story Russian in origin. The way I heard it was about Russian soldiers :?: :???: :smile: :wink: :cool: :grin:
I really like chicken caesar salad, but usually I prefer Italian dressing.
I feel you.
protac .. is that your website under your name?
i.e. .. is that your car with the doodle on it?
because if it is, and you’d said you’d put that there yourself, i’d say it looks really flash!
Oh nah, that’s my friends car. Haters.
How many people do you get with that Phone trace site. :lol: :lol:
Protac, In reference to your cars new paint job. I remember a movie or was it a commercial where the guys care looks vandalized and you watch him pull off the car cover to reveal his nice car underneath. Thats what you need. One of those fake car covers!
Haha Capman, everyone, did it get you too? And yeah CapJack, everyday I have to park somewhere safe because mysterious scratches come out of the blue. By the way, you have the same name as the captain of the NBA team Golden State Warriors captain. His name is Stephen Jackson but people call him Capt’ Jack since hes the captain.
GO WARRIORS! :mrgreen:
I would like to know the origin of the phrase “straight from the horses mouth” Why is it a horses mouth?
Because it’s more eloquent than a horse’s ass.

By the way, who felt the earthquake last night? 4.1 I think. :shock:
not me.
but then we don’t get earthquakes in britain, ‘cos we don’t deserve ‘em. :)
It was mainly around here in the Bay Area. People said it was really strong but I didn’t feel anything and I was outside helping my friend install speakers in his car.
Ahem!
Firstly,Firstly,
Secondly, note the last two paragraphs.
Homework: 1000 Island dressing or Italian dressing. Good flavor
Marina, I say you do one of your videos like how the video looks when you announce the teachers pet. and SOMEBODY is revealing today. :wink:
Keep up the good work Miss Marina!

Oh yeah, can I be the next teacher’s pet pleaseeee! :cry:
Since it is hurricane season, what the origins for the words hurricane and typhoon? Typhoons used to be storms in the Pacific now they are called hurricanes. :?:
:oops: I ment to say: What are the origins for the words hurricane and typhoon?
“Hurricane” is a more generic term. It can apply either to typhoons (which appear in the Pacific area) or to cyclones (which appear in the Atlantic Area). We have the same distinction in France with the words “ouragan” (hurricane), “typhon” (typhoon) and “cyclone”.
Interesting info celebornmars! Pleased to meet you! Where I am from we call cyclones, tornados. While hurricanes can spawn tornados they are not the same thing. Hurricanes can last for hours even days! Tornados, however last for just a few mintues, and strike without warning! word requests cyclone and tornado
What time was this put up?
In my house some salad dressing are so old the label is in Aramaic, (drum roll, hit the cymbal). :roll: :roll: :grin: The ones most rotated are Ken’s Stake House Ranch and Blue Cheese.
OK now back to my BBQ. Luego :cool: :smile:
marina
i was listening to your maxim radio session where you spoke of poon…
and i was wondering, would this word be related in anyway to the word “harpoon”?
—>
My favorite dressing to use at home is medium strength red salsa or green salsa. After all, the translation of salsa is “sauce,” and it’s a lot healthier than most dressings.
My favorite dressing when I eat out is Peanut Dressing, which can be found in Thai Bistros. It’s light and tasty.
Interesting to note, besides mountains, oceans, and forest, my favorite thing to see is a woman in a dress. So, you could say that I like women dress-ing, meaning when they wear dresses :wink:
Yeah, the etymology doesn’t actually work there, but it’s a mystery & sounds funny :razz:
Marina. Can I have this as a gravatar? http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c8/Glass_tesseract_animation.gif
If she does that would be cool. I think at one time she was going to let someone use a moving gravatar. :wink:
:cool: Very Escher.
That’s funny I was just downloading that animated gif to put on my website. Its a shadow of the fourth dimension. Its a good example of what the 4 dimension might look like if we could see it. String theory predicts that there are 11 dimensions of movement. For more information check out “The Elegant Universe” You can watch the whole show online. It’s 3 hours long so take your time. Its a lot of information to absorb and to wrap your mind around. If the theory of strings is true then what we know of the of the universe amounts to a pin on top of an ice burg. :shock:
Our theroies are melting :?: :lol:
No, not really. We are looking for a better theory that would explain how the universe works. Our current theories are in conflict. Einstein theory of the things very large and Bohr theory of the very small are in conflict. When you try to combine them into one ultimate theory of everything, they tend to break down. The numbers are nonsense. We need to find a new theory that can explain it all. String theory might be the one. The problem with string theory is that is has not made one prediction on how our universe works. Something is very interesting about it is the math of string theory is starting to make sense. The formulas are working. The holly grail in science right now it finding this theory of everything. It will dwarf landing on Mars!
Any town in Iceland is an ice burg.
краÑÐ¸Ð²ÐµÐ¹ÑˆÐ°Ñ Marina, You look so good and beautiful in that strapless dress with leaves on top. I guess you went out on Friday night, so there was no update then. The Los Angeles Philharmonic played Tchaikovsky at the Hollywood bowl, too.
What? There’s homework? Well, Kraft has a “Light Done Right Thousand Island dressing”, an Wishbone has a “Just 2 Good Ranch Dressing.” I’m not as thin as you, so I must use low-calorie salad dressings. Your ÐмериканÑкий Ñтудент, seesixcm6
ranch is my favorite :D and, I have been wondering, what is the proper way to pronounce “W”. double-u? dubba-u? and, why is it not “double-v” or something like that…. :???:
I like Ranch dressing on my salads, hot wings, pizza, fried chicken, and veggie trays.
Capman, you still have electricity, good for you. How’s the wind and rain?
The wind has died down quit a bit. I lost an apple tee that blew over. Plus a big leak in my roof to the ceiling. Big ugly brown spot now. I’ll have to call the insurance company Monday. We got some flooding, but not to bad. All in all we fared very well. Thanks for asking. :smile:
Two winters ago I had 60+mph winds hit my sisters town. It brought down 3 forest trees. luckily no one was under neath them. One of the trees was about 100 ft. tall. I missed it by 10 or 15 minutes when I came back from the store. It freaked me out. I said to myself “I don’t remember this tree sitting across the driveway 10 minutes ago.” :shock:
I know what your feeling Capman. Ain’t storms just a bag full of fun until you have to go out and clean up the mess?
You have storms to worry about while I have earthquakes to worry about. Fair trade? :cry:
Somebody wanted to call the new storm heading for the Keys . . . Hurricane Eisenhower. As for me, I like Ike.
Be safe and take care :smile:
Prievyet (phontically spelt) Marina, kakdila/kaksila(whichever), I would like to know about America’s warping of ’till then, Generic, English words, eg; ‘mum’ becoming ‘mom’ from mother, or ‘colour’ becoming ‘color’ exactly like Spanish(different cases)? I have heard the vague story of a American protests of Britain, but i find it unfathomable, and thus questionable, as to why they would degenerate and contort their OWN language to abuse Brits (whom, if anything, would mock them for it as a sign of linguistic incompetents, and general idiocy(not a slite on you)?
-oh yea, home work; Hate salads, but i eat them because they are healthy and my mum makes me, I’m not about to make it worse with a dressing, though my friend has eluded to some Greek salads being nice, though, it looks like something you would feed a hamster.
Dressing brings more flavor to salad though.
Please have pity on us poor, foolish colonists for our inability to properly spell the Queens English. Hmmm….Maybe we should just say we are actually correct in our use of the President’s English? And to save fossil fuels, push for more of that Nucular Energy stuff everybody’s talking about:-)

please check my link waaaayy further up^^ in this comment section:-)

Dear Teacher:
My homework:
Favorite salad dressing is Russian otherwise I like them naked, wet with virgin olive oil and freshly torn.
Do Russian’s have an American dressing? Don’t say it’s blue genes.
Get away from Koby.
P.S. When are you going to get to those waiting double ” u” s video?
long shot: I don’t suppose anyone in here has used a MIDI guitar, have they?
I just Googled them and they are expensive. Do you plan to start playing one?
i used to play guitar – but i had ideas beyond my abilities. So .. i got them down on tape before i finally abandoned it.
A little while ago i doodled around with a software music program (FL studio) using a MIDI keyboard.
But only a few days ago i realised that MIDI guitars must exist .. and sure enough .. there they are.
But – it’s a totally cloudy area to me .. i have no idea what kind of money you should expect to pay for what kind of capability.
I wont be using it for live play .. just to play the stuff i saved into the software and doodle round wiht it there. (and compensate for my crap technical abilities)
(here’s hoping the above makes sense cos i cant be bothered to look it through and edit it)
there’s a cheap one in amazon [here]
… but .. one comment says it’s great, another says it’s crap .. and there’s no tech info – and even if there was, i prob wouldnt be able to make a value judgement.
so .. what i need is someone with personal experience to say ..
cheap ones are pretty much as good as expensive ones. they all do pretty much what you need.
or
for god’s sake … keep away from the cheap crap. The quality of the signal processing … etc etc.
anyway .. i thought i’d ask .. you never know.
I guess i should scour the net for a midi guitar forum.
oops .. that one’s a USB guitar .. i guess it’s just a way of getting the analogue elec pickup info into the pc.
d’oh
What’s a MIDI guitar?
well .. you know music software you can have on your pc?
well .. they can take “midi” control signals to control the insturments and so forth in the program (as well as the fake keyboard you’d get inside the program).
so the midi interface is similar to a USB interface, but dedicated to musical signals .. so they carry pitch and velocity (for volume) and so forth.
So .. i was looking for a guitar that would send those signals into my pc for the program … only .. it seems the best way to do that is with a bit f electronics that clips over the strings of a normal guitar and then sends info to a converter to midi and then into the pc.
Oh I see, i use keyboards for my computer to make beats.
Marina, Mexicans speak Spanish (or a derivation thereof) which is a Romantic language, so the name Ceasar/Cesare is from a Latin based language. Makes sense.
Julias Caesar also gave us the term “C-Section” for a Caesarian operation, which may or may not come in handy for you later in your life. Sure beats an episiotomy!
My favorite dressing (those rare times I eat a salad – rabbit food UGH!) is oil and Basalmic vinegar.
Is “Russian Dressing” really Russian, Marina? What do Russians put on their salads? American dressing? Or Vodka? Just curious….
Spanish is a Romance language. It can be romantic, too.
I once tried “Republican Ranch” dressing, but only ONCE. I poured it on my salad, and it drained all the life out of my vegetables.
You’re not supposed to “pour” Republican Ranch. Next time, try the “trickle down” method.

Lots of places have variations of the Ceasar Salad with chicken or other meat added. When my girlfriend gets a salad she gives me her onions ( not USUALLY in a CS ) and I wish it came with tomatoes. It may offend purists, but with a little chicken added I can eat the CS as a meal and not an appetizer. Its as healthy a meal as I can eat.
Recently in Denver a group of friends went to a place called Mad Ceasar where they ONLY have salads, served in stainless steel mixing bowls no less. Not bad I have to admit.
Noo my teachers pet reign is over already… Oh well.. It still tells me when I put my phone on
Well fdone Kemical
Being teacher’s pet is very exhilarating ain’t it?
Mom always told me to do my homework first, so if I eat a salad, it will be a Caesar’s salad, or not at all. :-)
Still laughing so hard from seeing your sister(‘s) site, and very much looking forward to ?both? of your next installment?s? as well as seeing whether you patch things up or continue to spat:-)
I love your sense of humor, and am thoroughly enjoying your posts. Thank you for creating such a beautiful work, and please don’t stop!

She says that Marina is an attention whore. Not very kind… :mrgreen:
But here is a real attention whore…
I ate a very good salad recently: mozzarella with olive oil, bruschetta, Italian ham, red peppers, little pieces of reggiano and aubergines…
“Aubergine”, an interesting word, don’t you think?
And congratulations for this brilliant investigation, it was an interesting story.
Aubergine is a funny word. For all I know, it could be some French word for eggplant!
Yes, but the origin of the French word appears to be quite complex.
Here is what you can find on the Online Etymology Dictionary
We can also find there the origin of “eggplant”, which is used in American English (I use British conventions, this is why I use the word “aubergine”).
Here is the version given by the
Littré Dictionary
I translate the end for you:
“Etymology: To add: the etymology is not “auberge” or “alberge”. The aubergine comes from the East; Dominique Chabre, in his “Traité de botanique” (1678) calls it “melongena Arbabum”.
The Arabic name is “al-badindjan”, from which Spanish made “berengena”, “alberengena”, Portuguese “bringela” ; then the French “aubergine”.”
I found further information on the Italian version of Wikipedia (in Italian the word is “melanzana” or “petronciano”). I translate directly it from Italian:
“The aubergine comes from India but in Prehistorical Ages, it was cultivated in China and other countries in Central Asia. In Europe, it seems not having been known until about 1500 years ago: the diffusion in Europa of names coming from Arabic and the lack of Latin and Greek words indicates that the aubergine was brought around the Mediterranean Sea by Arabs at the beginning of Middle Age.
In Europe, the first region where the aubergine was known is Andalusia, in the south of Spain (a region which was occupied by Arabs until the 13th century [personal commentary]).
Fascinating stuff. How about the origin of CANNEBERGE (cranberry)? My Petit Robert states that the etymology is O.I., which I assume is “origine inconnue.”
Warm Bacon Dressing on a Spinach Salad from a middle of nowhere supper club.
Hi Marina,
Caesar salads are great with lots of fresh minced garlic and topped with pieces of BBQ chicken and real Parmesan cheese.
My favorite salad dressing is Greek… olive oil, lemon juice, fresh chopped oregano and small bits of Feta cheese.
Where did Buffalo come from in the name Buffalo Wings? hmm?
I’ve always heard they originated in Buffalo, New York.

You make Me hungry :!:
I like Western the most with French a close 2nd,have been told over the years that they are pretty-much the same anyway.
My Ex GF,Verushka(Vera),once said that Russian language and French were related languages,I’m guessing She was correct since she came from Ukraine.
I was thinking of “hungry” for a word request. ha
“Hungry” sounds good,I’ll 2nd it as a request. One could be hungry for success,love,luvvins,a certain food,or,just plain hungry.
Hungry for Marina? :mrgreen:
Vinaigrette on Salade Niçoise for me, please, but hold the anchovies.
BTW, what have anchovies to do with Aviators?
That top you were almost wearing, Marina, looks as though it was inspired by a Caesar’s Salad; very appropriate and very distracting … making my mouth water.
