    [*T*H*O*U*G*H*T] and [t*a*u*g*h*t] and [T*a*S~T~e*D]

    …The word person in its Greek form prosopon might stand for a juridical or fictitious unity; it does not necessarily imply what the word person implies to us, that is, the unity of the subject of consciousness and of all the internal and external activities. Hence we are not surprised to find that Diodorus admitted two Sons, and that Theodore practically made two Christs, and yet that they cannot be proved to have really made two subjects in Christ. Two things are certain: first, that, whether or no they believed in the unity of the subject in the Incarnate Word, at least they explained that unity wrongly; secondly, that they used most unfortunate and misleading language when they spoke of the union of the manhood with the Godhead — language which is objectively heretical, even were the intention of its authors good. copied from thinkers Is taste a color and skyed!…by, be gone

    Loved this video. Not only for the very interesting topic, but also for the style and presentation. I loved the wider angle. You are very beautiful and it was great to see more of you than just your face and… well, you get the picture. :)

    Hello hot for words, I am 0+. I have shown my kids, 8 of them, and my husband your youtube videos. My husband isn’t interested. lol But my kids love you. Guess I better come up with some words for you. How about the word possum. Or the phrase playing possum. My grandfather was a hunter but he would never hunt possums. He called them his granddaughters. I never understood this, for I was his only granddaughter and felt like he compared the possum to me. So, if you can, where did the word possum come from, and the phrase playing possum come from? Hope hot for words can solve this mystery. The kids hope you can. Take care, Zoe

  10. Chemikal says:

    Thank you!
    It’s 0 (zero) all around.
    This video should change the way schools teach their pupils. Enough with the indulgence of falsities in the English language! :P

  11. misterc says:

    B +. I like that my blood type is B positive. :grin:

    PS I am a blood donor and in fact I just donated recently. On my next donation, I’ll have donated slighty over 15 gallons.

  12. ragabashmoon says:

    OMG Marina watches True Blood! That’s so cool. Actually I had no interest in seeing the series (yet another vampire series destined to fail, bah boooring) until I saw “Sookie Stackhouse” in the synopsis and i was like immediately changed mind, since I have actually read the first 3 books, and have the second 2 (will get the rest soon)

  13. pig-in-a-poke says:

    We need new blood in our political system, vote for Marina for President! At least we will understand what she is saying.

    A+ you’d think with that typing I would have done better in school :smile:

  15. mrchex says:

    Well done marina i had no idea.

    I dunno what an antigen or the postive negative stuff is either. I may investigate this you have me curious.

  16. twfraz says:

    My blood type is AB+, what’s with the “+” sign?

  17. davecodave says:

    There are so many blood subsitutes out there now that are safer for the user and it’s cheaper and more readily availible that it makes no sence to use real blood anymore.

  18. raven62 says:

    I am blood type A pos. It is a good thing to know your blood type in case of an accident and a friend or family member needs your type right now, you can roll up the sleeve and drain a pint. :smile:

  19. muggins says:

    I found my old dog tags, and my blood group is “A neg”.
    So I went to Wikipedia to look up A negative in blood types,
    and soon regretted it. All those big words that I don’t know the meaning of. There’s all kinds of blood types, and different systems of classifying them. So, I had to have a beer. I opened up a HotForWords Hefeweizen beer. Pyramid Hefeweizen. Made from wheat. Not bad: a lager-style beer, crispy ‘n’ flavorful. Not really my kind of beer, though (probably because of my blood type). I purchased another wheat beer to compare with it, Belgian White Blue Moon Ale, and am opening it as I type….(glug-glug…ahhh). Awful. Tastes like Tuna fish salad. Well then, if you need a wheat beer, go for the Hefeweizen.

  23. robertrun says:

    Here is a word request: “bicameral” as in the study of mind, or less conceptual Neurophysiology. I am inspired to ask you this due to the book by Julian Jaynes “The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind” (1976). Would be great to get a lot of people thinking about this.

    If you are looking for a big vocabulary, you might check my writing and videos at my currently inactive, but still online blog called “The Last Gas Station” which is found at -http://www.thelastgasstation.typepad.com-

    I am a word freak myself and I dig your site.. If you choose to use “Bicameral” or any of the other concepts or ideas from my blog please let me know by contacting me at [email protected].

    Finally, while I do my best to avoid circumlocution, let me say that I appreciate your euphonious expression, as well as the intellectual and visual.

    I actually had a discussion about this a couple years ago in college. I’ve been calling it zero since and when I mention it people look at me confused. lol

    I’m a A- which does bring a question. What do the + and – stand for?

  28. h.f.h.f.w says:

    Hey, what does the word Islam mean. I know its a religion, but someone told me once that it had a meaning and where did its roots come from, ex.Greek, Chineese… Thank you :wink:

    In Karl’s day maybe the rules of notation weren’t in place.
    In the science field when you write a zero one must put the diagonal line in it.
    Also when a scientist writes point some number, (.7) it is always written as 0.7. Of course with the diagonal line in the zero.
    If I knew where how do it on the keyboard I write it proper. :neutral:

    hi marina my blood type is A+

  33. BillyB says:

    Just to say… Marina your lessons have been great as usual, I’m getting asked at work nowadays, if I’ve seen the latest lesson on “—” and I’m not the first one at work to see them anymore, I’m getting told before I get a chance to sit down & watch…
    …Share a little letter I found in my email…

    To my darling husband,

    Before you return from your business trip I just want to let you know about the

    Small accident I had with your pick up truck when I turned into the driveway.

    Fortunately not too bad and I really didn’t get hurt, so please don’t worry too much about me.

    I was coming home from Wal-Mart, and when I turned into the driveway I

    Accidentally pushed down on the accelerator instead of the brake.

    The garage door is slightly bent but the pick up fortunately came to a halt when

    It bumped into your car.

    I am really sorry, but I know with your kind-hearted personality you will

    Forgive me. You know how much I love you and care for you my sweetheart.

    I am enclosing a picture for you.

    I cannot wait to hold you in my
    Arms again.

    Your loving w ife.

    P.S. Your girlfriend called.

  34. kaibanator says:

    I think my blood type is B positive.

    After watching this lesson, I think its safe to say that Type O blood, was in fact a typo :lol:

  35. pedantickarl says:

    Marina, I noticed the addition of “…what people have said about HotForWords.” on your YT profile page. Great addition!

    • foxbow says:

      what!?! you mean those channel comments? they’re fucking ridiculous,99,9% of them is BS,lifeless webcam sex advertisers and other crap.

      • pedantickarl says:

        No, not the channel comments, foxbow. Marina added “what people have said” on the left side in her profile section. These are comments made by various well known people. It’s a great addition and worthy of being also put into the quote section on this page lower right. Captain can get on that right away. :smile:

      • BillyB says:

        Not the channel comments… probably she’s thought about turning them off, as you say, most are a turn off. Look up on the left, under the profile. I noticed it the other day too. we should go write some nice channel comments to counter all the crap ones.

      • BillyB says:

        echo

        BTW “Narcissus” is a word request, I think… submitted previously by Misscupcake, or is it narcissistic… or ism.

  36. mittheman says:

    My blood type is 101.

    Hey Marina, I would like to know where the word “Movie” came from.

  37. fishymack says:

    AB+, the Universal Plasma blood type

  38. hot_for_you says:

    The Sarah Palin e-mail hacker has made me wonder where the word ‘indict’ comes from? Also, why is it not spelt like it sounds, even in America? Can you please investigate for me?

  39. louie says:

    Dear Marina,

    How are you? Last night on The Factor, BO’R expressed his intrigue with the word “nefarious.” I fancy myself pretty good at roots and such, but I can’t put a fix on this one. If I had to guess, maybe French origin? Might you look into this one for me and for Bill?

    All my best,

    Louie

    P.S. I made a mistake with a prior word request. I said “hotty toddy” but it is really “hot toddy.” I am sorry for any confusion.

    Good Morning to all! :cool: Here’s a good one! :lol:

    A teacher is explaining biology to her 4th grade students. ‘Human Beings are the only animals that stutter,’ she says A little girl raises her hand. ‘I had a kitty-cat who stuttered.’The teacher, knowing how precious some of these stories could become, asked the girl to describe the incident ‘Well’, she began, ‘I was in the back yard with my kitty and the Rottweiler that lives next door got a running start and before we knew it, he jumped over the fence into our yard!’ ‘That must’ve been scary,’ said the teacher ‘It sure was,’ said the little girl. ‘My kitty raised his back, went Sssss, Sssss, Sssss’ and before he could say ‘Shit,’ the Rottweiler ate him The teacher wet her pants laughing.

    :oops: Don’t know my blood type! :oops:

    • Bob says:

      That reminds me about the angelic little girl who had a skinny, scrawny dog named “Porky”.
      Use your imagination to divine why … the explanation is rather rude. :wink:

  48. mijj says:

    word request : hyperbole … i gives me untold joy to use hyperbole whenever making even the most humble, groveling post here in HFW. So, what’s with the word “hyperbole” … “hyper” – yes … “bole” – huh?

    e.g. M’s breathtaking, enchanting beauty causes my heart to fracture into thousands of scintillating, psychedelic shards of pure bliss = Marina is rather attractive.

  49. foxbow says:

    I’m AB+ , kinda neat cause I can get everyone’s blood :mrgreen:

  50. tjmerced says:

    i have type zero+

  51. matilda says:

    Great lesson, Marina!
    It was really interesting. I’m type zero! :mrgreen:

    By the way, is it true that the blood types affect personality :?: :?:

  52. jericho says:

    I have a word request that goes well with this. Though you might want to save it for Halloween.

    SANGUINE

    It has two meanings. Bloody. And Happy.

    How did it managed BOTH of those meanings!? Sounds like a word the Joker from Batman would like. Or maybe a vampire might like that too.

  53. bobsully says:

    gee willikers… I don’t know. :oops:

    Seems BobforWords must investigate this one on his own.

  54. kalkwarf412 says:

    Word Request: this is a three word request, however they are related words in meaning, not sure about origin. The words hegemony, empire, and suzerainty. Hegemony would be the second word for H, so far you’ve only done “hot dog”

    below, in the thread, buzzword said:
    “mijj, have you ever listened to dead can dance? the women often sings by making up words. thought you would appreciate that.”
    .. to which i say: “yes i do.” .. it’s very cellar door (english pronunciation) (ref: tolkein)

    i rarely make the effort to work out the lyrics of a song .. for me, the words are merely to modulate the voice.

    The Cocteau Twins singer had that habit too.
    one of my favorite girly albums is Cocteau Twins – Treasure … and this is one of my favorite tracks from this album.

  56. mijj says:

    Word Request :Pythonesque … some of M’s videos are Pythonesque, (in my opinion)
    e.g. beautiful woman in skimpy clothing seductively elucidates the etymology of an interesting word = Pythonesque.
    lawnmower sliding into view for no apparent reason during a word examination = Pythonesque
    … and i love Pythonesque stuff – it suits my sense of humour.

    I used the word in the thread below and chevolay said: “Wow! it’s a real word, it’s in the dictionary and I thought you were high :shock:”

    … so i think Pythonesque is worthy of examination becuase:
    i think M would find this one fun to do.
    more people should be educated in the use of this word
    … and … emmm … other reasons i can’t think of right now.

    • Capman911 says:

      Jack and I have been trying to come up with a new poll, where the column says vote . :arrow: The one on the favorite days of the week has been up for ages, Can you think of anything new to replace it?

      • mijj says:

        that “favorite days of the week” has surely to be one of the worst polls i’ve ever seen! … why couldn’t you have gone the extra yard and had “favorite direction: up down left right fore aft”

        ok .. poll, eh? … well .. just blowin’ in the wind mind, but i have a thing about an element of student influence on M’s vids ..

        … e.g. M chooses the words she’s going to examine according to whatever mysterious process she chooses.
        .. maybe there could be a thing where every .. i dunno .. 10th vid .. the word is decided by a poll, who’s choices are determined by the TAs from the comments in the threads. – and M has to do the poll winner word no matter how awful a choice she thinks it is.

        I’m not sure i’d hold out too much hope considering how personal M’s vids are i think consideration even if it’s for rejection.

      • mijj says:

        a simpler poll might be …

        how many hours / day do you imagine your browser is settled somewhere on the HotForWords site?

        1..2
        3..4
        5..8
        9..16

      • mijj says:

        + … which is the managing director of your decisions:

        emotion
        instinct
        intellect

      • mijj says:

        well .. i was suggesting that as a poll ..

        .. plus ..there’s only one managing director .. your managing director will take into account input from the other sources, but will ultimataly be responsible for teh decision.

        in my case, i go for instinct. – i don’t trust intelligence and emotion is just too easily swayed by detail.

      • mijj says:

        oh yeh .. plus .. i liked jame’s video .. (can’t remember what it’s called) …

        .. but it put me in the frame where it might be fun to have James as a Student Representative (obviously as a “fun” thing, not to be taken seriously). .. where, if he’s agreeable, could make vids for M where he voices our collective opinion, concerns etc (always being aware this is a fun thing).

        .. depends entirely on James tho. – but that’s my prelim thought on the subject .. maybe there are other students who make vids that could do the job.

      • mijj says:

        fergawdsake, cap .. you should know better by now than to ask if i have any ideas! :cry:

      • Bob says:

        Polls are a waste of time if they don’t give all possible choices; for example, I didn’t vote on the days of the week because, for me being retired, they’re all the same.
        Another example, Mijj’s suggestion above

        which is the managing director of your decisions:

        emotion
        instinct
        intellect

        leaves out procrastination. :razz:

    My fav vampire stories are the Necroscope Series by Brian Lumley,books 2 – 6 are wayyyyyy good.Faether Ferency is an awesome character considering He is a long dead Wampheri! his “son” Thibor*(The Walach)was ok too but His son Janos was just a lame duck. In the alternate universe full of Gypsies and Wampheri there are some cool charachters too. Good ole Harry Keogh has His work cut out for Him and no mistake there.

    “…though they do say type zero in the bungified languages.” The bungi what? Huh? What the…? (Boy, she said that fast!)

    Could you explain where the terms “height” and “weight” come from? Also, is there a connection etymologically considering they both describe the physical characteristics of a living thing?

  78. Vlaves says:

    Request: Do you know the origin of “gut instinct” or “going with your gut” is? It’s a phrase that means you use intuition… but what does your gut have to do with it?

    • CampKohler says:

      It probably just means that because they are not using their head they must be using something else, like their guts. I guess they could just as easily call it left big toe instinct.

      • tryant says:

        I have a theory on this;;the sub-concious supposedly remembers *everything*,so,a “gut feeling” is really the sub-concious warning that the signs are pointing in a bad direction,or possibly,a good direction. Kinda like a strong feeling wether to buy/sell stocks after reading the news.

        Examine the above theory,what’s Yer gut feeling?

      I have always understood it to refer to the feeling of tightness one feels in the pit of the stomach (actually in the solar plexus) when one is anxious or uncertain about something.
      You know subconsciously that something is not right and and this causes a tension in that area which is referred to as the gut.

    Hey, mijj:

    Miss you, brother!… probably won’t be able to get online for another 24 hrs, but til then, I read a nifty article today, and even posted my own comment. What do YOU think on the matter?

  85. I am type zero. Although, the thing that sucks is, that I spent a few years in the UK when I was little and so that eliminates me from giving blood in this country.

    • danielpool52 says:

      why :?:

    • Fianchetto says:

      I was in the Navy, seen many foreign ports of call, but still am eligible to give blood…While I am curious as Daniel, no disrespect will be taken should you, for whatever reason, simply choose not to reply.

      • Well, I was there during the years Mad Cow was a big scare apparently. Now I didn’t know that eliminates me as a donor till I was in High School, and went to give blood. I looked over the forms I had to sign and it said because of the condition, I couldn’t give blood.

    • nw2394 says:

      That’s weird – we only have mad cows here – wait – that’s history – no more mad cows now :mrgreen:

    • CampKohler says:

      Mad cow is due to conversion of good proteins to bad proteins in the brain. It is not an organism and therefore is extremely hard to “kill” (you can’t kill what isn’t alive). The agent that causes this can be transmitted through blood.

      Until it was forbidden to feed cows to cows, the U.S. was ripe for it, but we got lucky. Lesson: NEVER EAT THE BRAIN OF PERSON WITH MAD COW!!! I can’t emphasize this too much.

    Hi Marina, I was wondering where the word quisquillian came from. When I heard it for the first time i thought it may be a made up word. It turns out its real , but can’t find any history on it. Thanks!!!! :cool:

  97. Hi Marina,
    You have informed us about the blood types..
    But we are still wondering about the positive or negative blood types.
    Please continue your class and inform us,

    i am type 0 with a positive rhesus factor. while my blood can be used by any positive blood types, it really can be used only once by rhesus-negative blood types without risking an allergic reaction with further transfusions of positve-blood.

    on the other hand, my father, whose blood type was 0-negative, had the true universal donor blood type. i remenber many times when he was called to the hospital to donate blood for a newborn.

    thanks again for a trip down annudder memory lane, Marina… :cool:

  100. sirgiant says:

    Hi Marina,
    My blood type is my motto: Be Positive! BUT, I am not writing to tell you that. I actually have a word I’ve wondered about all my life. It is the word Wednesday. We pronounce it Wends-Day, but it looks like maybe it was a day for weddings. Okay, I’ll sit and wait for your reply.
    Thanks!

  101. Marina,
    Another excellent lesson.
    Thanks

    P.S. Type A+ and willing to donate (all I need to recover is a bowl of water, a Milkbone and a 30 minute cat dog nap.)

    Has there been a pickup in the quality of the descriptions of the words recently? … if i’m not imagining it, it’s a definite good sign, i think.

    To be quite honest .. i think M should only be allowed to shed garments if the word descriptions are high quality – the higher the quality, the fewer the garments. … For those thin, offhand word descriptions of a mere couple of sentences or so, M should be forced to hide in a trench coat, big floppy hat and galoshes.

      Double click on the monster next to your name. It will take you to http://www.Gravatar.com. There you will enter your e-mail address that you used for Marina’s site. When finished registering then Gravatar will ask you to pick a picture for your Gravatar. You can download one from your computer or pick one from the web. If you pick one from the web download it to your desktop then upload it to the Gravatar site. That way you will always have the picture if you need it again. A box will open with the picture in it and then adjust the size of the picture. Just follow the directions from Gravatar to finish. If for some reason your Gravatar doesn’t show up then you may have to clear out your “cache” (ie) history, cookies and old temp files or hit refresh a couple of times for the Gravatar to show up.
      To clear the cache in “FireFox” click on Tools at the top of the page then click on Clear Private Data. In IE7 click on Tools then Internet options. In the next box under General find the browsing history and click delete all. If you need any more help feel free to ask.

        Cool! groovy and all that…now, your next mission (should you choose to accept it) is to make your name appear BLUE and link to a favourite website (of your own choosing). To do this, just click ‘Dashboard’ in the upper right corner of the site. then where it says “Howdy, {your name}” click {your name}.

        Under contact info, where it says ‘website’, just enter the website you wish ppl to see when they click your new blue name.

        Additional note: The GRAVATAR is retroactive – new gravatar will apear on all your previous posts, while the new link may not be necessarily so. {not absolutely certain on theis one}.

        You can also change the blue name that appears… type in a new ‘nickname, update, then select the new nickname from the ‘display name publicly as’ drop-down box.

        Have fun, and welcome to HFW!!!

    Vampires don’t care which blood type they consume. All types are salty. That’s why the garlic is needed so as to spice it up some.

    You don’t believe that the garlic was there to shy them off do you?

    The Romanian meal which most vampires prefer their victims to have imbedded before being feasted on are Zama Soup, Muschi poina and baklava. :eek: This meal tends to raise the cholesterol and sugar content of the blood to a sweet syrup which no vampire or vampress can resist. :lol:

    Reference: :idea:
    Etymology of Vampiress
    The Oxford English Dictionary dates the first appearance of the word vampire in English from 1734, in a travelogue titled Travels of Three English Gentlemen published in the Harleian Miscellany in 1745. Vampires had already been much discussed in German literature. After Austria gained control of northern Serbia and Oltenia in 1718, officials noted the local practice of exhuming bodies and “killing vampires”. These reports, prepared between 1725 and 1732, received widespread publicity. The English term was derived (possibly via French vampyre) from the German Vampir, in turn thought to be derived in the early 18th century from Serbian вампир/vampir. The Serbian form has parallels in virtually all Slavic languages: Bulgarian вампир (vampir), Czech and Slovak upír, Polish wÄ…pierz, and (perhaps East Slavic-influenced) upiór, Russian упырь (upyr’), Belarusian упыр (upyr), Ukrainian упирь (upir’), from Old Russian упирь (upir’). (Note that many of these languages have also borrowed forms such as “vampir/wampir” subsequently from the West; these are distinct from the original local words for the creature). The exact etymology is unclear Among the proposed proto-Slavic forms are *Ç«pyrÑŒ and *Ç«pirÑŒ. Like its possible cognate that means “bat” (Czech netopýr, Slovak netopier, Polish nietoperz, Russian нетопырь / netopyr’ – a species of bat), the Slavic word might contain a Proto-Indo-European root for “to fly”. An older theory is that the Slavic languages have borrowed the word from a Turkic term for “witch” (e.g. Tatar ubyr).
    The first recorded use of the Old Russian form Упирь (Upir’) is commonly believed to be in a document dated 6555 (1047 AD). It is a colophon in a manuscript of the Book of Psalms written by a priest who transcribed the book from Glagolitic into Cyrillic for the Novgorodian Prince Vladimir Yaroslavovich. The priest writes that his name is “Upir’ Likhyi ” (Упирь Лихый), which means something like “Wicked Vampire” or “Foul Vampire.” This apparently strange name has been cited as an example of surviving paganism and/or of the use of nicknames as personal names. However, in 1982, Swedish Slavicist Anders Sjöberg suggested that “Upir’ likhyi” was in fact an Old Russian transcription or translation of the name of Öpir Ofeigr, a well-known Swedish rune carver. Sjöberg argued that Öpir could possibly have lived in Novgorod before moving to Sweden, considering the connection between Eastern Scandinavia and Russia at the time. This theory is still controversial, although at least one Swedish historian, Henrik Janson, has expressed support for it. Another early use of the Old Russian word is in the anti-pagan treatise “Word of Saint Grigoriy,” dated variously to the 11th-13th centuries, where pagan worship of upyri is reported.

      From the Online Etymology Dictionary (not to be confused with the OED – Oxford English Dictionary):

      Dolt: 1543, perhaps a variant of dold “dull, foolish,” influenced by dulte, dolte, pp. forms of M.E. dullen “to dull, make or become dazed or stupid” (see dull).
