Whiskey

Hey Marina!

Here’s my word request. I initially sent this to you as a video response on YouTube on the Grandfather Clock video, but I saw the links to request for words on here.

Here’s the link:

sup guys, 2nd, no big deal haha

i don’t drink. :D

humm.
we spell it both ways, it’s a foreign word to us.
dictionary says: whiskey (american or irish whisky); whisky ([scotch] brandy made from grain or corn).

I love that video! I will DEFINITELY be doing it! So look out for it.

Thanks so much!

Marina

tum te tum …

.. at the risk of seeming horribly tedious … could someone give me an outline of the vid?

anything about the subject other than the obvious?

obviously, “seeming” is by now “being” .. still .. gotta make an effort to keep up.

no. except that she’s tying her poor dog to a bunch of balloons.

On the topic of beverages, I had two favorite ones when I was in Russia. Kvas, and Tarkhun. I don’t know what either of those words mean, but I would like to learn : )

well, whiskey comes from gaelic blablabla, meaning “water of life”, spelling differences … yeah, and her dog almost flying or something.

oh .. nothing wonderful or mysterious to uncover.

and M now has a flying dog.

how does tying small dogs to balloons relate to whiskey?

umm, it doesn’t. maybe it’s a girls thing, i don’t know.
i wonder if people would keep dogs as pets if they had wings and could fly … imagine a saint bernard or a doberman flying right at you …

erm, “they” being the dogs …

yeh .. i guess if you’re going to tie a dog to a balloon, it should be a small one.

Piva! (Beer!)

I’m not much of a drinker. If I do then it’s usually wine.

I don’t drink.
I doubt Kobe flew.

Depending on the quality of the whiskey, I like to drink it straight with ice. If you add a little water or soda, the caramel color becomes more of a yellow; and you have, as my father called it, “banana water.”

I’m willing to bet that the pup got off the ground… Kobe, the astro-pup.

Perhaps the airborne pup was whisked away on a stiff breeze?

I’ve never had whiskey, so I cannot say.

Although you’re making me think about doing the same with my dog.

Hi Marina!

Here’s my word request – ‘Milky Way’. Why is our galaxy called The Milky Way? Seems rather odd!

….ok…you had some spare time and blew up 5 dozens of balloons…… :neutral: that’s ok….

I don’t drink, :???:

Marina, not only was i looking for the pronounciation but also what the word means and its origin.

– at3ms824

heyy Marina
I just wanted to know why if someone wants to sit in the passenger seat of a car they call out “shotgun”
Thanks

I’m not really a heavy drinker. I mostly stick with my favorites.

i like Whiskey with Squirt, 7 Up or Sprite :mrgreen: . As for Kobe, he needed a leather helmet and goggles before he took off. Safety first :grin:

WordPress creator Matt Mullenweg visits WineLibrary TV. He & Gary Vaynerchuk teach how to drink & appreciate “scotch”.
Who uses wordpress anyways?

What are your favorites?

I do like whiskey. I drink it one of two ways, neat or with cola.

No not a big fan of whisk(e)y. Last time I drank it (JD) I got sick and had a hangover for 13 hrs. the next day.
Strange I can do Southern Comfort with no prob. while others can do JD and not Sothern Comfort.
Long story short, no on whisk(e)y but yes on BEER

Yes like SNOOPY

Besides I only drink on those days that end in “Y”

Exactly the same in France. We use the saying “EAU DE VIE” = WATER OF LIFE.
UISCE BEATHA = VODA ZHISNI = LIFE WATER.

Here is my homework Marina:
1) Personally I don’t drink alcohol.
2) The spelling “whiskey” exists in France but the other spelling “whisky” is more standard. Personally I always use the second one.
3) In France, we also have the word “eau-de-vie”, which literally means “water of life”.
4) It think Kobe may have flied with the balloons. I suppose there was helium in the balloons. The volumic mass of helium is 178 g/m³ and the volumic mass of air is 1 204 g/m³, so if we assume that Kobe’s weight is about 3 kg, you need about 3 m³ of helium if you want to cancel its weight. I think there was more of 3 m³ of helium but I don’t know the weight of the balloons. You need to add it to the weight of the dog if you want to know if it can fly.

WORD REQUEST

Hiya. Just joined. I wanted to request a report on the word “Minneapolis”. I think it was a native American word for many waters, or land of sky reflecting waters, but I’m not sure about why or how it means that.

It is where I’m from and we are having the I35w Bridge (the one that collapsed) reopening this week. It’s a somber occasion, so an insight into the origin of the name of our place would be a great inspiration.

THANKS HotForWords! You are an awesome person on this earth.

PEACE.

Hello Marina:
I don’t drink a lot of whiskey but I do drink “Bacardi Limón” & “Bacardi Razz”! :lol:

Don’t do it Koby!

Run! Run! Hide under the bed. She’s drunk. Get away! Escape!

P.S. Gucci would never stand for it.

P.S.S. I’m feeling very neglected, Marina is ignoring me and has forgotten her double U promise.

I’m a huge fan of whisky, and drink it straight, with no ice. I live in New Zealand, and if I ask for a double shot with no ice, they assume I want it mixed, because it’s rare to drink it straight here.

By the way, Marina: I have always had a huge passion for words (and punctuation!) and I love what you do. Keep on doing it.

Hi Marina. I’ve been watching a long time and I’ve never done a word request, so I thought I’d get to it.
I’m from Sweden, and I can’t help to notice the similarity between the english words Smorgosboard and Corkscrew and the Swedish words SmörgÃ¥sbord and Korkskruv. So could you please investigate these words!
Thank you smashing hot for words

Hehe Smörgåsbord är en av våra svenska uppfinningar vet du, vi namngav det och det namnet har sedan fått följa med. Kork är ju ett träslag så jag gissar på att det är samma sak, fast baklänges, vi annvänder helt enkelt deras ord.

Where’s Kobe’s goggles and helmet? :shock:

Boy if you thought he pooped everywhere before, wait till you see it now. :???:

I can hear the call to 911 now.
” My dog flew away in balloons”
OK lady your drunk, come along quietely.

Kobe plays fetch at a baseball stadium?

What would Bob Barker say about this?

Molotov Cocktail… that was funny. Thank you for using proper grammar, which you do the majority of time anyway, and I love your wonderful animated and upbeat delivery. Music to my ears.

Disclaimer:

No cute dog where harm in the making of this video. :razz:

That will keep the SPCA away from your door. :shock:

Real props, another step up. Word Theater is improving. :grin:
Long way from the early bathroom videos. :wink: :cool: :smile:

Not enough balloons for flight; it was funny though.

Its a little scary how many diverse societies confuse alcohol with water.

Marina, you have beautiful clavicle. Those balloons catch my eyes too. Thanks for the whiskey explanation though I don’t drink any wine. I guess your dog cannot fly by those balloons. I think you need much more balloons to do that. :wink:

Marina, don’t do a video inhaling helium
and speaking in Russian – oh noooo! :idea:
That would be too funny….. :grin:

“Bartender, Redeye and leave the bottle”
This line was often used in American cowboy
movie serials and TV shows. It was usually
said by the guy wearing “the black hat”

Homework: Yes, Jack Daniels (black label)
straight up shots (or “neat”, if you will) and
no chaser. Just a coincidence, but I made
a suggestion yesterday to James for a
a video of his first shot of whisky – so we
could see the look on his face (with the
caveat that he is of legal age, first!).
Since that might be awhile, I also told
him a video where he drinks a teaspoon
of Tabasco would also be entertaining… :twisted:

Will Kobe fly? Nah, but he’ll float!
Don’t do that outside! Just be sure
to use a STRONG kite string! :mrgreen:

Where does the term “via” come from by the way ?

I would like to know …

.. in my youth, my home was Yorkshire : in common local-language type chat re the laydeez: “fit” is/was synonymous with “hot” – is that true elsewhere or a peculiarity to Yorkshire.

as in : ” :shock: she’s fit!”

Whiskey is one of my favourite drinks, ideally with a quality ginger ale over ice.

OOOOOOOOO I got another one where does the term “RUSSIAN ROULETTE” come from? hmmmmmmmmmm?

I am constantly being told that I am facetious. I find it ironic that people say this. What IS the origin of this playful word?

How about the origins of pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis?

Word Request [Mexican Standoff]
Where did this expression originate :???: :???: :smile:

Thanks ray!

Where does Hoity-Toity come from? What can you tell us about it?

lol, your pronunciation is so bad….

The Gaelic ‘Uisce Beatha’ should be pronounced ishkah bah-hah but any pronunciation is allowed after having a few… :razz:

A Worthington Ford dealership was having a sale last week, the same color balloons where there on the sale lot…..tied to a tiger :shock: :grin:

Whiskey is Firewater, will drink it rarely
You have green eyes?

i need a drink of water

This would seem to be an appropriate brand of beer.

Don’t show this to Kobe.

word request for the best brandy that is handy for the pande dandies :oops: :lol: :sad:

Hi drehrlich.
Marina referred to that word in the Floccinaucinihilipilification video. She also made a comment about that word on the Pedigree video page saying that it is not a very interesting story as it is a made up to exceed the number of letters of Floccinaucinihilipilification.

This link will take you the the question and Marina’s comment
regarding that word.
http://www.hotforwords.com/2008/04/13/pedigree/#comment-8913

These are the early days of video production, it’s refreshing to see these video improve as Marina learns. :cool:

Keep up the good work young lady :smile:

Dog gone! Up, up and away.

So funny!

Dear красивейшая Marina, You posted a video after I went to sleep! I hope Kobe had a good time with the balloon ride you gave him! (I guess it’s safe to do this indoors.)
For your homework, I no longer drink for health reasons, but I used to enjoy “Scotch on the rocks” (over ice) or sip Wild Turkey, a bourbon, “neat” to enjoy the smoothness and flavors. It’s sort of like asking which wine you enjoy. I liked many of them! :smile: I look forward to seeing your video on the word, “prescription.” Your dear student, seesixcm6

okay, i would like to know where the word “moniter” came up i know it can be used as the term to watch something but how did they come up with it as a part of a computer?

Word request quick or quote :smile:

Hi, I love your Youtube Channel, its fantastic. Wouel you do the work eejits for me. Its a pejorative term in Ireland for an idiot.

Sorry this time with no errors…Hi, I love your Youtube Channel, its fantastic. Would you do the word eejits for me. Its a pejorative term in Ireland for an idiot. Thanks a million

nooooooooo!!! …

… i got a glimpse of M in the vid .. i thought i was almost cured! ..

nowhere near :cry: … {… sigh … so beautiful …}

Word Request: apposite (starts with the letter “a”, not “o” – meaning pertinent or relevant). It seems that the word apposite and opposite have the same root, but have different meanings. How does the ap- versus op- change the meaning?

Wild Turkey 101.

In KY we call it Kickin’ Chickin’.

Anything less than 101 is Girly Turkey.

I don’t like whisky.. Its like drinking meths… I like bacardi.. That near the same strength

Sorry, James. I just saw your YouTube posts.

When you reach puberty, you will understand, and I am sure that no one will have to explain it to you. Just be patient, you will soon come to recognize females as objects of affection, too.

Don’t patronise me :mad:

Word Request Cell(biology).. like the things that we are made off :)

The only way to cope with this situation is to Face the Fear, meet your nemesis head on and endure until you become desensitised. :smile:

what about the word androgyn :)

:idea: .. i know .. i’ll watch a few seconds each day until i feel faint .. gradually increase my resistance :smile:

…but noone must know about this ‘cos i’ll look silly :roll: … and M will think i’m a fool :sad:

hey
you anticipated me!

Hmm. Is there some kind of way i can email you?

Sorry.. I don’t do spice… Or whiskey

were does the term “as sick as a parrot” mean and come from :?: :?: :?: :smile:

I’ve always disliked whisky. Was never generally keen on spirits .. but i went through a Vodka phase – i liked to roll the stuff round in my mouth while i was sucking a peppermint.

… and very acceptable in big quantities too. – never seemed to be completely crippled the day after.

yeh .. i think i can contact you via your youtube thing and you’ll get my return email address.

is this re 4th level?

I sometimes drink whisky not often, George Dickel(TM) was/is my faviorite with coca a cola(TM) its somewhat rare to find. Kobe flys only with a ballon just floating along on the air currents or on an airplane.

Prision Break

:lol:

Good whisky should always be enjoyed “neat”.

Hi Marina, “Pigs Can’t Fly” any more than Kobe…. AND NO I am not saying anything about a “Pig with Lipstick”… whoops, I said it! :lol:

Speaking of pigs, what about the origin of the word “Earmark” ….In your description you might show off some of your cool “Ear Rings” that are attached by piercing the ear… Piercing is “earmark” in my book!

Unsafe water is a good reason to drink wine; with wine you’re actually getting more water than alcohol. Anything over 100 proof is more alcohol than water and is actually dehydrating you.

Rum Is my favorite drink! Don’t care much for wiskey.
Word Request Rum

are you implying there’s something wrong with meths?

That’s Dog Gone amazing! Where Beagles Dare. :grin:
It’s the same technique that rock mountaineers use for ascending a “chimney” when climbing a rock face or an ice wall.
A very intelligent animal.

this comes from the old west stage coach days.

There certainly is. It’s Lethyl Alcohol. :roll:

funny that seems to be the beer I drink
Beer goggles make the night go better :lol:

Shut up… And you too bob with you scientific-hypenated-NaCl-terms… :lol: :lol:

Dear Marina,

I prefer wiskey with mineral water on the rocks.

he may also mean crystal meths

Me too.
Word request Pusser – as in a supply specialist in the Navy, and Pusser’s Rum.

Without seeing how many balloons you had, it is not easy to confidently state whether Kobe was lifted up or not.

However, I can state emphatically it is possible to lift the pup by balloons. Mythbusters did it with a small child, but with several thousand balloons.

hmmmm

oh .. maybe it’s not M that’s affecting me after all .. it’s the Lethyl Alchohol.

sorry? .. is “balloons” some kind of euphemism?

WORD REQUEST:

I’m new to your whole world. HotForWords, but there’s been a number of words that have given me the ‘Huh?’ face to think of them. I checked your list, and I hope this one hasn’t been asked for.

Doughnut and Donut. Why the two? And, for that matter, why the ‘nut’ part of it? I know the origins of the doughnut, I was just asking of the two words. I hope it’s not as simple as the Western world shortening it for convince, like ‘though’ and ‘thru’.

Ninety Nine.

uhm inhaling all that helium is tempting but you gota inhale regular air after every breath tough or else you’ll suffocate….
a teaspoon of tabasco…..it aint hard :wink: I have more trouble drinking beer than tabasco haha :mrgreen: (srsly :???:… )

I don’t drink liquor or whiskey any more. But when I did it was Ancient Ancient Age, Jack Daniels, Jim Beam, Crown Royal, or Everclear. I only drink a little beer now. Coors Light, Bud Light, Miller Light or what ever some one else is supplying. I don’t like the beers in the green bottles though. Cheers, here’s to ya, lets make a toast, down the hatch :grin:

Do you see it. Miss M does a video about whiskey and Google puts up whiskey adds. So predictable. Miss M do one on feces and see what Google puts up for adds. :lol:

[The RPG Class Test]

Are you a spell-slinging mage? A noble paladin? An evil assassin? Or are you just an NPC? This test measures four variables to determine which D&D character class you belong to.

You don’t have to have played D&D to take the test, and in some ways it might be more fun if you haven’t.

[The RPG Class Test]

… ahem .. :oops:

Thank you guys for helping with word request. I have noticed quit a few today that is using the words “word request” when wanting to know about a word. :wink:

Your result for The RPG Class Test …

Mystic Theurge

44% Combativeness, 37% Sneakiness, 76% Intellect, 67% Spirituality

Brilliant and spiritual! You are a Mystic Theurge!

Score! You have a prestige class. A prestige class can only be taken after you’ve fulfilled certain requirements. This may mean that you’re an exceptionally talented person, but it probably doesn’t.

The Mystic Theurge is a combination of a cleric and a mage. They can cast both arcane and divine spells, and are good at both, making them pretty terrifying on the battlefield. They have more raw spellpower than just about any other class.

You’re both intelligent and faithful, but not violent or deceitful. I guess that makes you a pretty good person.

Paladin

59% Combativeness, 17% Sneakiness, 18% Intellect, 61% Spirituality

Valorous! Noble! Or possibly just a self-righteous jerk: You are a Paladin!
Paladins are holy warriors. They are valorous defenders of the light. Unfortunately, most of them are so ardent in their defense they tend to meet sticky ends faster than you can say “rampaging red dragon.” Many people look up to Paladins, while others just consider them stuck up, overbearing, or self-righteous.
Much like the crusades, you manage to combine violence and religion. You may be a staunch defender of the faith, a valorous champion of the weak, or the stuff that jihads are made of.
Remember: Just because someone doesn’t agree with you, doesn’t mean you should hurt them.

Hey Marina! Great website! I had a request for a word/words. My question since you brought up in this one was about the differences in British/American English. I was curious about the American “color/flavor” vs. the British “colour/flavour”

Thanks,

Mijj these are pretty neat items to keep us occupied sometimes. Can you keep finding more?

Word Request: Gay

If I remember it right gay means happy. But now people use it to mean homosexuals. And at time they even use it to mean stupid. What’s the story behind all that?

I’ll let you know if you can be recognized for the effort. But Jack and I have been looking for things like this to keep people occupied after they do their lesson. We don’t want to many as it would take away from M’s class structure. So I will talk to her and see.

Congratulations :!: I thought this was going to be a hard one! :smile:

ok .. well .. i’m holdin’ out for a public official literal pat on the head from Her Royal Highness. .. to show the official sanction, you understand. :)

Do you drink water? :razz:

How many balloons do you think it would take for him to float?

Hey hot for words, could you investigate the world ‘trailer’ as in a video trailer thanks xxx

I’ve never liked whiskey, but after seeing those three gorgeous babes drinking it, I feel like having some.

Try this one over the water.

I don’t know how many it would take. I guess I just felt sorry for Kobe having balloons tied to him.
I drink water, caffeine free diet soda, and rarely, seltzer.

So how many balloon’s would have it taken to flight? :mrgreen:

huh wth? oh well i’m bored so i did it ….

Now you know where the balloons went. :lol:

didnt you look at the rest of the result?

Lately, Jack Daniel’s with one icecube has been tasting so good, and I don’t really know why, maybe because it’s an exoticwhiskey here.

That downward flight maneuver the pilot was doing is a lot of fun! :mrgreen: A couple of my friend went out and did the same thing. We would take turns flying the plane while the rest of us would play cannon ball in the back seats.

google’s so unimaginative ..

.. the ads should be or Alchoholics Anon .. or for alternative drugs, like LSD and cocaine.

Welcome to HFW Jack. Maybe Marina will look into doing your word request of eejits.

Hello my dear students, welcome to Word Theater :idea: :mrgreen:

Tks Capman :smile:

Without going into the atomic weights of helium and air and PV = nRT and all that; Mythbusters tries to get enought helium balloons to lift a small child ( admittedly larger than Kobe ) and it took more balloons by several orders of magnitude as I recall.

Ifr this were Hot for Physics I’d make a few assumptions and give it a whirl.

Peppermint Snops is not bad either Mijj. I am waiting on M’s answer.

i have a word i would like to request.
The word is times……
why is there 2 ways (or maybe more mays) to say it like
In these harsh times
and also
one times two is three in mathematical terms

I prefer a cheap beer like 211. It has 8.1% alcohol in it and its not that bad to my taste buds. I don’t drink much hard alcohol anymore. Its rare that I do. I plan to buy a margarita mixer. Thats about my extent of the harder stuff. I like the buzz but don’t care to get stupid drunk anymore. It its kind of sad though. I get really friendly and weird when im drunk. :shock:
I sometimes drink wine but I have not found a wine that i’m just so excited about to look for it again. I might have to try a wine tasting gathering to educate myself a bit more about wine. Also wine give me large headaches. :???:

Word request: toast. Why is a well-wishing with raised wine (or champagne) glasses called a toast when toast is heated bread?

Look no further for a good word! :grin: I request the etymology of the word “dude”.

I say and hear “dude” pretty much every day and I must know more about the word please!! I heard once that it refers to a camel’s penis but I’m sure you will find out the truth.

HI Marina! Hello Class!
I used to chat with this German lady living in France. She said that
a great many drinks mix into tea or even coffee. She liked JB & tea.
It’s pretty good(I used a black tea, not green)! When I happen to be
out of soda, I’ll get inventive and mix it with remainders in my icebox.
The new V-8 Fusions of fruit & vegetables make *excellent* mixers

The word “trip” has two very different meanings. One is a verb, as in “I tripped over a root and fell.” The other is a noun as in “They took a trip to Las Vegas over the weekend.”

Do the two meanings of “trip” come from the same of different origins?

I guess this one maybe to easy, but here goes.
How does one “Blot one’s copy book”
not sure myself, but i have been told i have done, more than once :???:

that was quite good. Water of life. how paradoxical or oxymoronic or something. The gin i had sunday made me fall asleep and i tasted it for two days. Very unpleasant. It was an accident I swear. I thought it was a virgin Bloody Mary.
Any interest in investigating that “out of whack” idiom? It’s just not as much fun looking it up my self.

You are really smart and pretty lady,I would like to know the origin of Genius or creative genius, thanks Marina. PK

What are the origins of the word egg. Where does the phrase “egg on” come from?” Maybe you could make it into a “what’s the origin” game.

Uh, I think one times two is probablytwo. But then, I’m not a mathematician.

Try my own special Bourbon drink:
12 oz glass
Fill with ice cubes
2 to 3 shots of Bourbon (test this variable for taste)
1 to 2 shots of Campari (also test here)
Fill remainder with Schweppes Russian.

I call the drink the Ugly American.

Most any Bourbon will work since its function (besides the addition of alcohol) is to add a sharp-edged flavor; the “Bourbon Bite”.

Campari is not too common in American drinks and one might imagine that the pink liquid is positively manhandled by the Jack. But, in fact, the Campari has a passive-aggressive bitterness that instills a lasting tension long after the Buorbon-bluster has subsided.

Schweppes Russian is probably also a bit unusual in the USA.

Because both Campari and Russian are little known in the USA, Ugly Americans usually appear when Bourbon bottles go travling to Europe.

Word request:
hokey pokey
hocus pocus

Marina, if you drink Scotch you won’t have to worry about how to spell it. Now you have to do the etymology of tequila.

Hello My dear teacher,
in Australian bars we have three sizes of glass for beer: Pint, which is large. Middy, which is small. or schooner, which is the medium size but also the name of a kind of ship. Why do we call it that?
please investigate this word, it’s driving me crazy.

Kindest regards,
Your humble student.

She has the perfect answer for your question: here . Hopefully that should answer your question once and for all. Have a great day. :wink:

I already have you listed down yomero on the word request for hokey pokey and hocus pocus. So give M some time to go threw her list thanks. :wink:

You do???

How about Sangria and have you tried that new Orbit gum with that same flavor?

How about “More sh*^%# than you can shake a stick at”?

Yes sir I just listed now so we can keep better records of word requests. :wink:

Jackoke…or Jackrite…or Jackdew…but mostly Jackoke…

now, what are my mixes of choice?…

none, usually…only if i’m feeling festive, and that’s rare these days…

dadblasted reality keeps bustin’ in… :cool:

Hey pal, good to hear from you. Missed your commenting and fun and games. Don’t work to hard and here’s two for you [] [] don’t drink them to fast. Hurry back we miss you.
love and peace to you too my friend. :wink:

Are you saying I need to pace myself in the amount of word request I make?

No No make as many as you want. What I mean is we are now going through each video and listing the word requests as they are made. It will keep Marina up on the most recent requests. Sorry for the misunderstanding. Keep on requesting :wink:

YOU asked ME about my gravatar in a disparaging manner. YOU invited MY reply. IF you read ALL of it, you will see that I have no intent to patronise you. We all choose rou own gravatars here, and when you requested me to explain mine, I did so, having no obligation to explain to anyone my choice, but only choosing to comply with your childish insult wrapped within an apparent request, and tried to do so in a manner appropriate to your age and level of understanding.

If you wish not to be patronised, do not invite it upon yourself.

If you wish to know more of my gravatar, ask in a respectful manner. I will respond with the same level of kindness and sincerity as the request dictates.

Thanks, I would hate to stifle my moments of inspiration.

You are a kind and gentle person, hey :!: 61% spirituality is not too shabby.

Fustigating a creative moment is not your style. :smile: :grin:

I hope our Dear Teacher will do this one, but until then, I understand that when a pair of homosexuals cohabituated, the neighbors would note that as long as they didn’t make a nuisance of themselves, and were themselves happy (gay) with the arrangement, there was no problem.

Just my two cents from inquiries of my elders on the matter.

Thanks for the word request of color and colour Itskatrina. :smile: We will add it to her list, so keep a watch to see if she does your request. :wink:

Mike TA

Further, please, in the interest of not further polluting Our Dear Teacher’s site while we iron out our petty differences, if you wish to continue this discussion further, can we agree to do it via YouTube’s e-mail facility? I am Fianchetto1 on YouTube, please feel free to contact me there. I will gladly respond in kind, in that forum.

You will notice jack that it was me that she was talking to.
The fact still remains that there is a glitch in her mail network, I am sure she would like to know. Just being a good minion but Y :evil: O seem to think I am attacking her. I have pretty much stop coming here to make you happy but you are still in attack.
So then once and for all YOU just have a great day. , :wink:

WORD REQUEST:

Don’t know the origin of how the act became associated with the word “toast”, but recall a story of a nobleman in the town of Bath, England (known – and named – for its public baths installed during Roman rule) who, on seeing a woman bathing in one of the pools, filled a glass with water from her pool, and after uttering some compliment to her beauty, drank it down. Perhaps something for Our Dear Teacher to investigate?

Only association in my life experience came while enjoying “Tapas” in Spain. I don’t recall whether the word means “toast” or “top” (as in ‘cover’) but understand the practice of having tapas is to go socialising from bar to bar, walk up to the windows and order wine and (usually salty) small snacks, using a piece of bread or toast to cover your goblet to keep flying insects out of your wine as you made your rounds of the town square, meeting new people and just having a delightful evening on the town.

A fine Scottish malt whisky is best. To be drunk as it is.

A good but slightly lesser quality whisky can be drunk with a little water or ice on a hot day – but still no flavoured rubbish in it. It just spoils a good drink and, some would say, a mortal sin.

American “whiskey” – well most of them I’ve had the misfortune to taste are just fire waters. Yuck. Probably tolerable with mixers – but if you know what decent whisky is you don’t drink the rubbish from over the pond in the first place.

The Irish make a good brew – not quite as good as the Scots – but damn close.

Nick

Word request for babi4 is “toast”

Rye is best, of course!

not toast but “criminal”

Are you D-commenting? :???: :???:

Hey Nick I drink that rubbish your condemning. :grin: I guess if we had been making it as long as the Scots have then we could have some as good as you. :wink:

Water is better in a fine whisky than a rock-gut.

Water reduces the taste of alcohol thereby allows other flavors greater prominence.

Ice, on the other hand, lowers the temperature and reduces the flavor over all.

Whiskey works,but,the vid above doesn’t! Just the spinny thing.aaaargh! guess I’ll have to check it later,I’m not sure but I think I may have been in on requesting it. Sounds like something I’d do.

I recently shared a bottle of Jack Daniels Single Barrel with some friends,we drank it straight from the bottle and chased with beer,we were outdoors after a poker party,no need for glasses,shot or otherwise.

time for some hippy music (brit) …

[Hawkwind - Hurry On Sundown]

Bourbon and Coke is an American classic.

arian references Arius, who posited that Christ was not one with God, but at one time did not exist at all, unlike the now-familiar Trinity…

now, if you really meant aryan, that’s of Mideastern origin, and should actually be applied, according to my source, only to Indo-Iranians….

which is interesting given it’s Nazi usage…

so, Marina, what’s up with Aryan?… :cool:

I never tried it with Cranberry juice and grenadine just coke. May have to try it some night. Thanks for the mixture. :grin:

oh, can you move me to the head of Marina’s list?… :mrgreen:

‘er…to-do list, of course… :twisted: :mrgreen: :twisted: :mrgreen:

Homework: no whiskey, I am a devoted oenophile. In fact only until this lesson, had no knowledge of ‘whiskey’ being spelled without the ‘e’.

As for Kobe’s first solo flight, I must say it depends on the ceilings in that room…. if they are textured, he flew until enough balloons were burst by the rough ceiling, otherwise, I think he would have had no problem getting off the ground. Cannot comment on whether he enjoyed it or was terrified by the ordeal, but my fingers are crossed for the best!

Thank you for another fine lesson!

Wizard
22% Combativeness, 37% Sneakiness, 82% Intellect, 44% Spirituality

Brilliant! You are a Wizard!
Wizards are spells-casters who study powerful arcane magic. While Wizards tend to be pretty fragile, some of those spells can pack quite a punch. Unlike Clerics, Wizards aren’t as good at fixing people as they are at breaking them, so watch where you toss that fireball!
Your most distinctive trait is your intelligence. You’re probably well learned and logical, if perhaps a bit fragile.

oh, so you have the power to add replies where no replies are possible!

imagine the possibilities…absolute power to reply will corrupt replies absolutely!

wield the power wisely, cap… :cool:

what the fuck is a mytsic theurge is that like a spiritual lavage?

That was classic, the other dogs probably thought …” what an idiot”…
then he’s on the outside, they can only look, with their tongues hanging out, while he thinks…”what a bunch of idiots”

The Force is with me. :smile:

Your neck of the woods was settle by Scots/Irish correct?
This is why you have moonshine and NASCAR. :smile: :smile: :mrgreen:

The Scots might not have as many restrictions on how it is made,but then,I don’t really know,just a guess. :???: :cool:

I tried a blended scotch many years ago and think the quality of that is on par with Night Train,,yyyyuk. If I was a gutter-slurpin alcoholic I *still* wouldn’t drink that crap,I think it was Passport brand.

I’ll stay with my dark beers(imported and domestic)and the occasional bottle of whiskey.Actually I drink lighter beers too but prefer something with more flavor and kick. I would love a trip through european pubs to sample *every* type of beer/lager!

Yep run across three gallons the other day. :lol:
My wife is a Mclaurin I have a German background.

okay, did the d&d background check. got it. i played a few games of d&d, forgotten the details. you do know satin is behind all of this shit?

I would like to try that myself.

satan, not satin, although i’m sure satin is just as evil.

satan

MARINA! Sorry,didn’t mean to yell at Ya. :oops:

Hmmm,this has me thinkin. How about doing a vid on the words “alcohol” and “recipe”? Then ask the class to submit homemade beer,wine,mead,whiskey etc. recipes as homework? We could then print them and make recipe books! Now that’s a good idea! Sometimes I hit it juuuust right. :wink:

tryant

That would like when you video tape someone who is watching himself being taped while he is watching a TV of what you are taping into infinity.
Don’t ask me to repeat that or explain :smile: :grin: :roll:

not interested in the flying dog bit… but could you expel some helium into the dog and see if it barks funny? yeah, want to see that.

alright, me ol’ Wiz!

what on earth is a “spiritual lavage” !! :shock:

i never played D&D … required to much patience i think.

why do they always make Satan out to be the bad guy?

Good party….No more wiskey….We go home….

He might fart it out the back end and shoot across the room :lol:

So you can make a boilermaker home brew beer and moonshine whiskey. :grin:

Hey, please teach me how to third level reply. :smile:

It’s a gift from Marina. Sorry. :wink:

not a drinker but just read an article in bonappetit about blended whiskeys. whats your take on blends?

It’s still early. Don’t you have a designated driver :?:

I want to request the word ‘discombobulated’.

Christmas is coming maybe I’ll get a gift, hint hint.
My main concern was to avoid confusion. :smile: :smile:

“lavage” is the washing out of a body cavity such as the colon or stomach with water or medical solution. spiritual lavage, either the washing out of a spiritual cavity with a solution or the washing of a body cavity such as the colon with spirituality. take your pick.

Put in for a TA position that’s how you get the gift. :smile:

eeeurghh!

welll .. thanks for the thought … not!!

Hey xnefarious, Monte has already requested that word too. :cool: So I’ll add you name to the word request list with Montes. :wink:
Thanks,

discombobulated

Excellant! Like one of the posters there I never heard Jerry’s version either,I am “grateful” tho. :oops:

Like another poster there said,Thin Lizzy does a great cover of it too.I think the original was about 100 years ago. Actually I think I like all the versions I’ve ever heard. Metallica too.

historically, jesus did not exist. he was a mythic figure created to embody knowledge about spirit. There are no records written by people living in that time of such a figure as jesus. (who, had he existed, would have had such an impact that he wouldnt have gone unnoticed)

Marina, I just discovered you a month or so ago. It took me a while to catch up, but I finally did. Great work. BZ!

I know Marina has been drinking when she tries to make Kobi fly! :shock:

how come i haven’t been admonished for breaking that rule?

With everyone reqesting drinks at Hotforwords, we must all be lushes!
There’s a word request: Lush. :smile:

When I was a Paramedic, I was taught that Rx was a shorthand abbreviation for ‘recipe’ from the times before so many medicines came pre-mixed, pre-dosed, and pre-packaged. The physician would write a recipe for the apothecarist to mix up a batch and give to the patient.

Just some help (if true) to get you started in your research :wink:

[Giant Dog Balloon Crashes into Highway]

Where does the idiom “to feel blue” come from, Marina?!

It’s so unclear, so it has the makings of a good game.

Have an orange day!

yeah, we call it recipe in germany — that’d be “rezept”.

Hmm.. that balloon bit at the end reminds of something from Mythbusters.
Anywho,
I was thinking about my trusty hearing aid, and I was wondering if it was a coincidence that “ear” was in the word “hear”?

Your result for The RPG Class Test …
Wizard

Not really sure but I think he invented the Wha Wha Pedal :???:

thing is though … how does 3% spirituality relate to being a spells-caster and studying powerful arcane magic?

i’m not so sure i trust your result.

e.g. .. many’s the time you’ve put an innocent poster to the sword. .. and the “33% Combativeness” belies that.

… erm .. koff .. the belying goes the other way round, but you know what i mean.

say what?

umm. actually i don’t. :/

i reckon the intelligence is th contribution to arcane magic .. as in engineering (dont need no gaddam spirituality to build a weapon)…

… the spirituality contributes to your ability to cuss.

so, apparently, I’m good at cussin’ while i engineer. :)

ok .. try again …

i’m not so sure i trust your result.

e.g. .. many’s the time you’ve put an innocent poster to the sword. .. and that belies the “33% Combativeness”.

It’s the difference between intelligence and intellect :smile:

that’s got to be Jimi Hendrix …

… i read somewhere (or hallucinated) that he had a buddy technician in the studio who hacked together bits of stuff to J’s description of the effect he wanted.

oh .. i was hallucinating …

http://www.jimdunlop.com/index.php?page=products/pip&id=347

The wah-wah pedal was just invented when Hendrix burst on the scene in 1967. And to this day, few player’s names are more synonymous with killer wah leads and wicked, wah-driven syncopated rhythms. The wah pedal that Hendrix used was a 60s design by the Thomas Organ Company and manufactured by JEN in Italy. This is the unmistakable wah tone heard on Hendrix classics like “Up From the Sky,”"Voodoo Child (Slight Return),”"Little Miss Lover”and “Still Raining, Still Dreaming.”

i still don’t get it. :/

but, to sum up my current test results:

i seem to be a mathematical, sexually experienced, liberal, robotic, rather nymphomaniacal wizard, metaphysical reductionist, epistemological absolutist, and moral relativist with a great personality who digs mila kunis.

now ain’t that something.

Reversing the strings on a right hand guitar so a left hand person could play it had a lot to do with his sound.

he’d set his guitar on fire occasionally .. i’m sure that’d affect the sound somehow.

Jimmy Hendrix stole that act from The Who :shock:

check out mattias eklundh.

yeh .. i agree

[Who - Monterey]

I think Hendrix was too good a player to ever have needed physical drama .. he got the idea after seeing the Who.

The Who went on last at Monterey, all this ego shit going on back stage about who was going to close the show, so Hendrix upstaged The Who by stealing their act just to teach them a lesson.
It’s so written in Rock & Roll history, trust me.

i don’t actually think Hendrix managed to upstage the Who.

The Who were masters of the art of destroying their equipment .. they’d been doing it for years. .. Hendrix was fresh at it .. Hendrix didn’t make much of a display of destruction. .. his effort looks pale and insipid compared to the Who’s feat.

I think that makes you a psychopath wizard!

well done!!

an asset to any team. :)

well…………it looks like your gravatar contains 2 guys kissing….. :???:

i think the person on the left looks like a girl.

In Pete Townshend own words, Oh I can’t remember the exact quote, but after the argument back stage about who was going to close the show Hendrix got even buy doing The Who’s closing act. It’s well documented somewhere, I know I saw it on the History channel or PBS

This may have been the first time Hendrix set his guitar on fire just to spite The Who.

My source was a video documentary, maybe there is a written source out there. :cool: :smile:

Daltrey said something to Townshend, Pete replied he not stealing our act he’s doing it. It was Townshend speaking in the interview.

I ask him yesterday if he could find some more of those kind of tests, or games like Jack wanted to put up from time to time like the rice game. He said he could but wanted to know if it was ok with M if he did it every day as so he wouldn’t get into trouble or break some kinda rule. I don’t know of any rules for posting games he just wanted to be safe. He didn’t want to be admonished for posting games without permission.

i think he ment the 4th level reply’s with that “haven’t been admonished” thing……. :???: correct me if i’m wrong tough :wink:

You may be right Fox I didn’t know he could do a 4 th level reply. I know James figured it out. Maybe Mijj did too.

I know what you mean. I worked under a para military based organization all my life so when I step out of bounds I feel guilty. But I like to test the waters if you don’t then you can’t expand your horizon.

Yea but I have bigger boobs :lol:

Love to think Kobe managed to take off…Cobe 189 ready for launch. Hope you gave Kobe enough nibbles for the long journey M :grin: Camcorder too so we get to see the adventure :smile:

Never new Whisky had another way of spelling… JD and coke is the go when on travels or holidays. Otherwise, Bushmills with water session. Mixed with egg sarnies before the postman or milkman arrive at sunrise :lol: – always with fine company, never alone, with out too much to do the following day, so havn’t been on it for ages :wink:

Have you covered the Gin crises in London Marina? Why do regular Gin drinkers always seem so fed up as well?

Naa, can’t be? Thought I just saw Kobe flying over head…looked happy mind :cool:

:lol:

actually, the reason i wanted to check it’s ok with M is because i wanted the personal public pat on the head from M.

I didn’t think i was breaking any rules with those quizzes .. i’m sure someone would have mentioned it if i was.

Nope .. it’s the literal actual pat on the head from M within a post somewhere in a thread that i’m after .. not an abstract sort of nod that it’s ok. :)

… as an actual referable token of approval and as a sign of a sense of humor.

- i’ll take it if it’s (the above) not forthcoming then this indicates HRH doesn’t stoop to that kind of behavior and she could do just as well without my quizzes (which she probably can).

well .. its not so much feeling guilty ..

it’s the sense that if i’m not constrained externally, then i’ll begin to do that internally .. and that means my playing around with possibilities will die.

Kobe you’re 50 years to late to be the first dog in orbit,
Laika did it on Sputnik 2
you still get a medal :smile: :smile:

I don’t know what to tell you on that. I wouldn’t stifle my creative possibilities, but I see what you mean about self control.

:) .. yeh .. i was inpired by James.

I wanted to figure out how he did it.

mijj “historically, jesus did not exist. he was a mythic figure created to embody knowledge about spirit. There are no records written by people living in that time of such a figure as jesus. (who, had he existed, would have had such an impact that he wouldnt have gone unnoticed)”

mijj this is akin to saying there is no such thing as Jewish people is that what your implying? I think the Jewis people would take offense to your trying to rewrite history and leave them out.

I was in the learn / practice section trying to figure out how or what syntax you used to do the level replys.

Well, I can’t claim to be Scots – I’m English – I suppose someone in England makes a whisky – maybe :)

As someone said below (or is it above – I can’t reply directly to it anyway), blended Scotch is not especially good. You need the proper malt stuff – much smoother – you can actually taste the drink – not just fire.

The good stuff is often twice the price – but worth savouring :)

Nick

anyway .. keep in mind i’m not afraid to be, or annoyed at, being reined in if you (or anyone else) thinks it needs to be done (though, knowing myself, there may be a little inertia to overcome while i reorient).

e.g. the kinds of links referred to, etc.
I don’t think i do anything outrageous .. but you never know.

Yeah, thats true. True for all drinks though – not just whisk(e)y

actually, after talking to James, i think i used a different method to his.

I’m tempted, but don’t think i should hint at how i did it in public.

go to my utube page, just click on my name.

Hey pig-in-a-poke you should be able to post there. I just went there and made a comment to see if it would work. :grin:

Wake up Marina :!: Time for a new lesson :razz:
So in need of outside stimulus with my caffeine :cool: :smile:

Most of the blended stuff is second rate in my opinion. I did taste a nice one – ooh – a long time ago.

The pure single malt which seems to have the biggest market share in England anyway (is probably obtainable internationally) in Glenfiddich – very nice. Glenmorangie is another I remember from my misspent youth in Scotland,. The thing that makes them better in my opinion is that they are much smoohter – you don’t just taste fire.

I have 2 more word requests for you. First, the word “strapping”. Why are goodlooking young men referred to as strapping young lads?
Second, meaning much the same, the word “handsome”. Does that have anything to do with hands?

I’m gonna go to work 6 days in a row for 12 to 15 hours a day(is that even legal for an 18 yr old :?: :lol: ) so i won’t be on for 6 days at least… just in case ANYone would wonder….. :???: so yeah….ima gonna go to bed now, bye people

Maybe the first doughnut started out with nuts in it. But then again, maybe that idea kinda sounds stupid. :???:

I’ve always wonder where the word superfluous comes from. Another thing is how to pronounce it.

Might as well add “gray/grey” to that list.

I’ll take that same road annuder. :wink:

:roll: This will sound completely dumb… but when I was a kid, I’ve been told that “dude” meant ‘a hair on an elephant’s butt!’ I don’t know what idiot came up with that idea or even why for that matter.

I asked about that phrase a couple of times.

Hi Mike, regarding the Flyff ad… it’s not there now. It was interesting to see me mention flying and there was this large very colorful ad. The ad was just below the Wiskey video and was the same size. When clicking on the ad it took me to the following site. The ad on the HFW Home page was similar to the lower left quarter of this link.

stokesjrj1:
“mijj this is akin to saying there is no such thing as Jewish people is that what your implying? I think the Jewis people would take offense to your trying to rewrite history and leave them out.”

“akin to saying”? .. can’t imagine how you get from one to the other.

plus .. how nice of you to speak on behalf the Jewish people. If there was reasoning involved in your statement it could have worked as a means of undermining my viewpoint. Too bad. On the other hand, maybe there are more than enough people who use jews to further their own ends.

Marina,

This thread is a continuation of one from your previous post “Grandfather Clock”. In light of our friend James’ refusal to discuss the issue in an alternate forum, and wishing not to pollute your site with our petty bickering, I wish to humbly request that both threads be deleted if possible, as I wish no longer to continue this discussion here, nor have this thread-gone-bad remain as an eysore on your site.

Thank you for a wonderful forum, and please continue your fine work!

Ciao,

Welcome aboard! Always good to see someone

The point being, there would be even less to enjoy in poor spirits mixed with water.

All spirits – permium or bargain basement – have ethanol in common at about 40%. So the taste of ethanol is not what you are paying for.

On the other hand, secondary flavors, including distilation “faults” (such as aromatic co-distillates, fusel alcohols and smoke) plus flavors acquired from the barrel and added water are the elements that distinguish liquors.

If you add water to a bad liquor you will emphasize precisely the flavors that make it bad while de-emphasizing the taste of alcohol.

can someone tell me if coComments is worth bothering with?

Basically … i just check for emails to see if i have any responses to posts, and maybe scroll up and down the webpage.

So, what’s the deal with coComments… does it make hfwThread activity a lot easier to deal with?

Hi Marina. I’m a big fan of Blizzard Entertainment’s ‘Diablo’ series of video games, and since Diablo 3 was recently announced, I was wondering if you would do a video on the word Devil and Diablo and all those different names we have for ‘Old Scratch’ :twisted: . please, pretty please? I’ll give you my soul, oops wait, I already promised it to Blizzard for the first copy of Diablo 3. I guess my heart will have to do. :wink:

Here’s a riddle for you.

Your in the desert and you see a tortoise lying on his back in the hot sun. Why aren’t you helping him?

zdrastvuite. vy v kakoom shtate zhivete? ea v virginiei. napishite :) michael 2 2 0 3 na yahoo toch’ka kom.

Thanks, Capman, I just tried again and the comment input screen did appear. I have had problems in the past, though. For some reason, when I sign in to past videos, I notice a message stating that I am not signed in, but when I go to the most recent video, I am signed in. Oh well, all is okay now.

Because I hate tortoises and I am a cruel person. :lol:

I’ve only been there a couple of times, but haven’t put much effort to learning to use it. Seems like an extra step to me. Perhaps someday I’ll explore it and determine if it has functionality for me, but until then, I’ve just been pretty much ignoring it. Similarly, I no longer normally view the HFW posts on YouTube, but for a different set of reasons:

1. The same vids are posted here.
2. There are no huge comments here that redirect to porn sites here.
3. The individuals here seem to have higher I.Q.s and a certainly higher degree of breeding, as evidenced by the vast majority of the posts.
4. The whole atmosphere here is generally a much more positive one than at YouTube. That is, I see very few pointlessly disparaging comments here – neither towards Our Dear Teacher nor toward other members, while I see many such postings at YouTube.
5. HERE is where Our Dear Teacher looks for word requests, not at YouTube.

I guess it boils down to the fact that we all come here to see the latest vids (initially), but, I stay here, REALLY for YOU ALL, my fellow students. While Marina makes the vids, and provides the forum, it is really US (or should I say WE) that make up the site.

Thanks to you all for making me feel a welcome part of the HFW community

re #4: i guess as long as we (and i mean me) keep away from politics and religion that’ll remain true. :)

The turtle is being used as bait for a trap. Ask yourself how did the turtle get flipped on its back?

… or have they?

I wanted to know the origins of the word diet. We see it as a nasty little word equalling calorie reduction when we all are on a diet, although some healthier than others.
Thanks, Chris.

It’s a test, designed to provoke an
emotional response. :shock:

so either:

A. sand dunes are difficult terrain, and the turtle rolled onto its back in a failed attempt to negotiate the terrain

B. It’s already dead, else it would probably be able to right itself, barring some obstacle preventing it from doing so

C. As Stokes suggests, it’s a booby trap.

I pick A. or B. 2/3 probability that I’m gonna get some food is good enough for me. If I suspect a booby trap, I might still get my meal with a long enough stick… :razz:

I was in capmans trap and now I am out.

Your in the desert and you see a tortoise lying on his back in the hot sun. Why aren’t you helping him?
Why??……….Because.. I am a Republican and I just love to watch slow whited helpless animals suffer. And the sooner everything is dead and the earth is uninhabitable the better :lol:

I’m curious about the word “DEFENESTRATE”. from Calvin and Hobbes:
“The monster, in his consternation, demonstrates defenestration,
And runs and runs and runs and runs away.”

Defenestration means throwing a person or thing out a window. Where does this come from?? i’m pretty sure it might have something to do with “fenestra” (window in latin)…. but to throw someone out a window?

i like whisky on the rocks or by the shot or with caramel soda also ice and water

speaking of martini i like an appletini it taste like sour apple jolly rancher

I suppose your an athiest and have never read a bible. Supposedly the bible is a written record of a least some of the history of the jewish people. So what your saying is that your statement isn’t akin too its actually what you mean is that what your saying?

the Hebrew Bible doesn’t include the New Testament.
(Jewish Tanakh and the Old Testament).

Of course, that doesn’t prove Jesus did or did not have physical existence. It’s just not a record, historical or otherwise, in the Hewbrew Bible.

Now, i think there’s two aspect of this that musn’t be confused.
1. The significance of the stories of the gospels (including the ones not favoured by the romans for inclusion in the New Testament)
2. The actual physical existence of Jesus.

I’m not doubting the first. I am doubting the second – but i dont think the second part is as important as the first.

So the writings of the jews who Jesus converted to chrisitanity didn’t exist is this correct?

really?
i’m not an american ´(or native speaker of english), i’d have gone for “soo-per-FLOO-us”; from super + fluous, “fluous” from “fluid”.

I’m not sure why you would think that if Jesus wasn’t included in the Hebrew Bible, then that implies the Jews didn’t exist.

:smile:

your smile .. i find it mystifying .. yet .. strangely compelling!

well, maybe i’d actually say “SOO-per-floo-us”. yeah, uh, but i’d definitely not put the stress on the second syllable.

Hello CaptainJack,

Thank you for the laugh. That will pop up in my mind the rest of the day.

Hello pennsyltucky9,
Haven’t seen you here in awhile, I figured it was time for exams and you were busy. Welcome back.

Thanks again, Capman911. You were right, the refresh button cured my ills. Oh, the marvels of high tech computer technology. :lol: I was lucky twice, today. I received an offer to claim 800,000 British pounds from a west African organization for only 200 British pounds. :wink: Who needs the lottery? :lol:

in my whisky I like cold ice it has a nicer flavour then

When I was at a distillery in Scotland they recommended adding 1 to 2 teaspoons of water to the whisky which seems to release or “open” up the whisky. I guess they’re right because they converted me to a scotch drinker.

I used to get those all the time about if you send me money I have a gozillion dollars I will send you from a dead statesman that has no heirs. Yea. He’s going to send me that much money just to get it out of another country. :lol: :lol:

This is a Texas PIg cooker

I guess it like putting salt into a cake mix or something sweet that you cook or bake it brings out the flavor even more. Go figure. :wink:

Capman911, your caught in your own trap just below this comment

video 9 … i missed nine videos in Marina-fast.

i used to love Southern Comfort when i was but a lad.

… until one day, me and a mate went on a huge binge. We got blind drunk on the stuff and went into a cafe for something to eat. He disappeared into the toilets. … some time later the manager came up to me and asked me to help carry him out. He’d thrown up all over himself and passed out into a pool of Southern Comfort stinking vomit on the floor.

so .. anyway .. after the experience of carrying this lump out i’ve never been able to take the smell of Southern Comfort without gagging.

(gags at the mere thought)

The OTHER other white meat….

Doesn’t sound stupid to me, I’ve just always wondered about the ‘nut’ part of it, and just why there’s two, official, spellings of the word.

Your hypothesis is plausible. The word “défenestration” exists in French (with the same meaning). It comes from “fenêtre” (old French form “fenestre”), meaning “window”.

It is a Latin word which means “path”

Hi Warren,

Nice to hear from you the other day, thanks. Yes, I’m deeply entrenched in the final phase of my bachelors, with midterms breathing down my neck already.

The good news is I get to go on some awesome field trips, one of which is coming up next weekend. We’ll camp out at a lake in the high Sierra and study structural and surface expressions of the forces at work shaping various landforms. I can’t wait.

The bad news is I have a final-project proposal coming due in a different class the following day, and still haven’t figured out what I want to focus on. Argh. It’s a typical pickle, one of the major reasons why I haven’t been abusing you of late. But I’ll be looking in occasionally, so save my seat in the college of etymology knowledge.

Hmmm… as an fan of whisky living in France, I feel obliged to give precisions – caus’ you non-drinker might mislead others :

– here in France, most labels on whisky bottles come direct
from Scotland so they are ‘whisky’(s) of course
– when big french alcohol companies market their production, they
tend to imitate Scottish design –> ‘whisky’(s) again
– the only ‘whiskey’ labels we get here are straight from Ireland
– I did’nt kew there was any whiskey from the States, always
thought US distillated only bourbon -made from wheat, not barley??

– My preferred is Lagavulin 16 years after meal / and
Caol Ila 12y. as a starter

And please, drink it like the Scots do : just a drop of fresh water in it,
to push the aromas to their best… slainthe !
( no need for that in bourbon IMHO )

I agree w/ your quick computing, but I don’t think the 3 necessary m3 were there : I’d say kobe didn’t flew this time…

always thought US distillated only bourbon

jack daniels, tennessee whiskey.
jim beam, kentucky straight bourbon whiskey.

I am just a diamond in the rough, word request: rough

Alx,
thanks for trying to educate me !
I’ a bit ashamed for showing my ignorance in the whiskey field !

Labelling for foods&beverage is very strict here in Europe,
- more so in our psycho-rigid France -, so I guess the word ‘whisky’
has a set of rules attached to it (pure barley, 2 years maturation …).

Jack Daniels / 4Roses bourbons are the only bottles I have seen here, I’ll check if the word whiskey is written on them ?
I think not…

well, i don’t really know much about whiskeys and the like because i don’t drink. shouldn’t the bottle labels for jackdaniels and jim beam be the same worldwide though?

btw, i live right next to you. germany. i remember reading “bourbon whiskey” on some bottle for some kentucky bourbon. it wasn’t jim beam though.

Greg… I accept packages and have received all kinds of gifts.. so there is no reason why your package would be refused unless you are putting the wrong address.

Marina

really? like what?

I have no doubt you would have accepted it. but I just wanted to bring it to attention so that if this is a on going issue your attention to the problem was needed. It came back as no address located . I cut and paste your address right from your page? It just might have been a mistake by the shipper.

Superflouous defined and pronounced.

I don’t drink. But that’s something; another fond name for what some people might consider a drug of choice. (these aren’t necessarily my views but I’m just saying)

Poor doggy :(

…whats written at the bottom of an Irish whiskey bottle? — “Open other end” – Whats written on the top of an Irish whiskey bottle? – “See other end for instructions.”

Coincidentally, the Scandinavians have a liquor called aquavit>, a caraway seed flavored version of schnapps whose name comes from the Latin aqua vitae. which means water of life, or living water. Kewl.

not quite that old. but old as gangsters shooting it out between cars. the guy in the passenger seat would us a shot gun to take out the other driver or defend his driver. The guy in the passenger seat was expected to carry a shotgun. So that seat became known as the shotgun seat.

Ieonard. This is a very old message and no longer valid.

Go to the current lesson and post your request as a comment in that lesson. Put word/phrase requests between [ ] like: [dog] or [blah blah blah] Then just leave it at that. When Marina selects a word she will scan the website for that word in [brackets] and mention the request in her lessons.

Master:
a title of address for a boy who is not old enough to be called Mr.
When you use the word master with a name it’s a boys name. ‘You are a master of ships.’ is correct use of the word.
See: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/master

Sorry Chevolay about the last message. I forgot I’m in an old lesson. Ieonard is commenting in old lessons for some strange reason.

Why, you are so bright.! :smile: CaptainJack says:

[RYE]…Did Gorby rise to the sky?

“Rock and Rye” is the name of two distinct beverages: a citrus fruit flavored whiskey-based liqueur made from American rye bottled with a bit of rock candy (crystallized sugar); and a toddy made with rye whiskey, bitters, and rock candy.Rye is highly susceptible to the ergot fungus. Consumption of ergot-infected rye by humans and animals results in a serious medical condition known as ergotism. Ergotism can cause both physical and mental harm, including convulsions, miscarriage, necrosis of digits, and hallucinations. Historically, damp northern countries that have depended on rye as a staple crop were subject to periodic epidemics of this condition. There have been “occurrence[s] of ergotism with periods where there were high incidents of people persecuted for being witches. Emphasis was placed on the Salem witch trials in Massachusetts in 1692, where there was a sudden rise in the number of people accused of being witches, but earlier examples were taken from Europe, as well”.. Ergot of Rye: History….I thought, one time I read, that rye is where — [whYsHY--w-h-i-s-k-e-y] is [spelt] from??? :oops: I’m only driving at half-ass—

Pliny the Elder was dismissive of rye, writing that it “is a very poor food and only serves to avert starvation” and spelt is mixed into it “to mitigate its bitter taste, and even then is most unpleasant to the stomach” (N.H. 18.40).

…God Bless RYE…Pliny the Elder reported that the Gauls and Iberians used the foam skimmed from beer to produce “a lighter kind of bread than other peoples.” Parts of the ancient world that drank wine instead of beer used a paste composed of grape juice and flour that was allowed to begin fermenting, or wheat bran steeped in wine, as a source for yeast. The most common source of leavening, however, was to retain a piece of dough from the previous day to use as a form of sourdough starter. :smile:

Any time I watch these old lessons I smile the whole time. Why? I don’t know. :???:
