Hat Trick

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah freaking slow internet

huh wth……this is getting lame -.-

Hi folks :grin:

Happy Hockey Puck Hat Trick :grin:

My page wouldn’t refresh fast enough :mad:

ok .uuuh can’t even watch that video there’s just this spinning thing .takes like 10 minuts for a page to load :shock:
I’ll watch it tomorrow,

Sorry I don’t have anything to add to my home work. :sad: As I don’t know anything about cricket only crickets [the live kind, good for fishing].

what is the homework :P ?

Try rebooting, I see the vid with no problems.

I am not having any refresh problems.

….still waiting for my first HFW Hat Trick
being first to comment three times with no assist :neutral:

i’v done it allready, doesn’t help, it’s my internet conection, and not just mine, some of my friends have the same problem right now .must be the provider, cause they have the same as me.

…. noticed did I :shock:

For the answer to the homework: It’s in Hockey when you get 3 goals in a row! I always thought it was a reference to the Wonderful World of Magic (and since I’m on the subject let me request the words “thaumaturgy” and “prestidigitation” before anyone else does).

Hey, Marina you know what…? You’re turning into a Southerner :lol: !!!
I noticed in the “could care less” and a few other vids you said “you all” slurred together… It really sounds like you’re saying the southern North American anglicization, “y’all”. If you keep that up, I’m gonna have to request that you start saying, “Well, I DO declare” (I’m sure I could handle that better than your singing :shock: !! Lest you begin to misconstrue my teasing of you, I think it’s cute and it endears you to me even more (or should I say, “even mo’”). Y’all come back, now, Ya HEAR!!??? mmmmMMMMMWWAAHH!!

Ok just checking. M added another factoid to the web site and didn’t want it to affect the site. If you look at the very bottom of the page you will see Copyright © 2008 HotForWords, LLC · “36022″ · 49 · Privacy Policy · Terms of Use · Photo Credits · Advertise · Music Player. The 36022 is how many members she has right now and adding about 100 a day. That’s amazing. M is doing something right. Kudos for her. :cool:

I have no clue how the sport of cricket is played. I do know that Hat Tricks are also in the sport of Hockey, though I don’t know the circumstances in which it is scored.

Your Maltese is the cutest puppy I’ve ever seen! Cobe (not sure if thats spelled correctly) has this inquisitive look to (is Cobe a him or her?) to its face. So Adorable!

But you still made first :cool:

Kobe doing the Mexican Hat Dance.
Now that’s a Hat Trick.
Trick or Treat.

i’m using IE8 – had to switch to compatibility mode to get the vid to play – otherwise i saw just a lil’ grey box in the upper left corner…

anyway, the only time i hear hat trick is in hockey, already mentioned…

but is this also where “passing the hat” comes from?… :cool:

I think that’s rather funny Dellforce. I didn’t even notice the slur as I am a southerner and I am used to hearing it. That was a good catch. Maybe she is sneaking down south for some good old southern fried chicken. :smile:

WORD REQUEST………….FUNKY…………..

AND……SKIPPY :grin: :grin: :grin:

……know nothing about the sport cricket
but have known girls with pantie crickets :mrgreen:

Or maybe she is dating a southerner :?: :lol:

fwiw, it’s Kobe, and Kobe leads an ideal dog’s life – it’s in the bag…

Good one Wetsuit :lol:

i did notice Marina had used “you all” – but i’m a displaced Yankee, so i still notice that stuff…

still, and odd to say about southern slang, but Marina will have to speed her pronunciation up to make it Southern – “you all” is way too long and drawn out for the very pleasing, “y’all”…(-;

We have the ear… I remember back in 2001 I had a girlfriend who never told me much about her mother… one day (possibly after a month of us being together, the root of the “citified” twang just jumped out at me…!! I asked her “What part of Mississippi is your mother from”? She said, “How did you know my mother was from Mississippi”? “I never told you that”!!! I knew then I had the Southern ear.

I just switched to or should I say Microsoft switched it for me cause I have auto updates setup on my computers. I haven’t tried Marina’s site on IE8 yet. May have to to see what happens.

:idea: Use the following link to learn more about the sport of cricket.

Bullwinkle does “Hat Tricks (poor quality) :grin:

Hey y’all

For anyone wanting to keep up with how many members are on Marina’s site look down at the bottom of the page and you will see the
HotForWords, LLC · “36024″ · 58 · Privacy Policy. The 36024 is the members on the site and growing by the minute. Marina says it adds about 100 a day. :cool:

how what is played?

try again

It didn’t work Che :oops:

one of my favorite Kurt Russel movies…at least where he plays a “serious” character…

:grin:

well, it’s a beta, so there will be problems. i have my downloads set to “ask” – not necessarily good to let ‘em decide for you.

I should do the same thing, I believe I will set it to ask. Thanks Annud.

YIPPEE!!! 42nd Comment!!! WHEEEE! this is almost 1/41th as much fun as when I was 2nd one to post a vid last week!!! :mrgreen:

I don’t think he smiled one time during the whole movie. If he did I guess it would mess up his whole persona he was portraying.

hey marina!YOU ROCK!YOU KNOW IT!Keeping it sexy and intelligent is the BEST way! hehe i have this phrase to ask u!Its very weird!hahah so u might investigate!I wanna know where from does the phrase “That’s out of the question” comes from!I mean,what’s this Question we all know what’s in of it and what’s out of it? hehe :) so u can like investigate :D

She’s got no “Y”s in her lesson list… how about the contraction “Y’all”?

You can get a hat trick in soccer, too. But in bowling, three strikes in a row is known as a “Turkey.” Not sure why.

d’oh!

… maybe if i subscribed i’d know when the new vid came up.

Yeah I want a word request on “Turkey” as in the bowling term, I have played in leauges for so long, but I never have known where it comes from.

ok, Capman….If I can resist the temptation, you can, too… resist…

resist…

deep breaths….

count ten…

count sheep…

…{whew} I almost did it myself…

Marina, I understand what it means to have “the upper hand,” but where does this phrase come from?

That’s true… would be a good word to investigate.

Oh! .. a Marina description of cricket stuff! ..

.. better get in the mood with a song ..
[Roy Harper - When An Old Cricketer Leaves The Crease]

One of my fave films of all time!
It’s all in the reflexes…

Oh come now, you know you want to say it… :twisted:

I LOVE IT!!!!!!!! BRILLIANT!!!! most cinematic fun I’ve had since 1977!

Bullwinkle said,”Hey Rocky! Watch me pull a rabbit outta my hat!… Presto!”
The Rocky and Bullwinkle show was/is a funny cartoon TV show from the 70′s.

A Hat Trick is famous in the sport of HOCKEY!!! 3 goals by the same player in a game. Some conditions apply though… you have to punch out a couple of players during the game, cuss at fans behind the penalty box, spit on the floor between your skates, and shake your fist at the Referee (and not get caught!):lol: :lol: :lol:

Marina? .. you don’t know how cricket is played? .. Oh, you silly mid-on!

no, b/c that notification email comes a few hours later.

:roll:

Good request – I’ll second!

BTW, Loving your ‘Letterman’ halloween outfit, dez !!

no one outside england knows how cricket is played. mainly because nobody cares.

Dear Teacher,
I’d like to suggest the word “cuckold” for a future lesson. Even thought it’s not a word you hear much anymore, it’s still an interesting one. Also, being from the South, I’d like to support a lesson on a strictly Southern word. I think “y’all” is too obvious, though, and think something like “chittlin” or “britches” (as in those silver breeches) would be better lessons.
One last thing, I want to thank you deeply for your lessons on “forte” and “could care less” because I have been making those arguments for a long time. I hope, of course, that people will actually listen to you on the matter.
Your dear student,
Holt

Ah, but Aussies, Kiwis, and even Barbados islanders play cricket.

Homework: hockey is the only other sport I’ve ever heard in connection with the phrase ‘hat trick’

Extra credit: To play Cricket, all you have to do is:
1. find two teams willing to compete
2. Administer each player a therapeutic dose of LSD
3. Have them to play a game of American baseball.
End result:
A game of cricket.

What do I win for extra credit?

COOL! I was wondering if anyone would ever get that…

Faster than a rolling “O”
More powerful than silent “E”
Able to leap capital “T” in a single bound
IS it a word? Is it a plan? It’s Letterman!

except for the whole of the ex-brit empire, alex!

{.. smug mode ..}

big helpings of LSD !! :grin:

i mean .. who on earth plays baseball? .. hah!

But the Americans… er, excuse me, we’re in smug mode… the Colonials were freed of British imperial control, and do not play the game… please explain.

Those who substitute Steroids for LSD?

I used to love business trips to NY… I’d say “y’all” and the locals would laugh… they’d say “yous guys” and I’d crack up.

Heck we play with crickets, but it’s on the end of a fishing hook. :lol:

!!! … attack of the killer white furry thing at the end of the vid !!!

Oww, but true… seems strange, as LSD is supposed to be “mind expanding” while steroids and growth hormones are muscle expanding… and a cause of… hehe… “shrinkage” :wink:

Did you ever ask for grits in New York. :?: I think they mostly eat fried potatoes or hash browns with their breakfast. :mrgreen:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howard_Carter_(archaeologist) we been looking for you

:mrgreen: Why not let your dog,Cody,do some hat tricks?

you bastard!!

HeHeHe

Would I lie to you, Dez??

I did not know it as a child, but Gene Wilder was the voice of Letterman, and Joan Rivers was the narrator. I don’t recall who voiced the evil wizard.

only the poor deluded yank ex-empire bods deny cricket, dez. All other reasonable ex-colonials prefer the relaxed civilised pace.

If it will make you feel better, Mijj… some of us don’t play with crickets… we use crawdads, aka mudbugs.

*Affecting an effete upper-class accent*
Indubitably, old man… good form :mrgreen:

How about some good old blood worms. Be careful they bite. :eek:

:idea: For your homework, Marina … i want you to go out and find some LSD from one of your showbiz buddies .. and do the next word video whilst tripping. :idea: – just a thought to spice up the routine. :grin:

no, that was something else.

i thought those showbiz people do cocaine?

.. i think an analysis of the word “discombobulate” would be most suitable.

*Salutes*
He was quite a gifted digger

oh well .. no point then.

If you can’t find any LSD… how about chewing on some magic mushrooms! :arrow: :shock:

They’ll do anything if you cut it finely and hand them straws… I wish they’d take a deep sniff o’ common sense.

There’s another way. In baseball you get a hat trick if you strikeout 3 times in the game as a batter.

There is a lot more than showbiz people who do cocaine or Chrystal meth. LSD is on the come back or is back. :shock:

sure .. but they’d know where to get the stuff, even if M’s friends are coke-head types {.. glances at B.O’Reilly ..}

I don’t like Cricket, no man, I LOVE IT!!!! – If you find the five day test matches a little boring then check out the 20/20 games as far more exciting to watch. The batting team have two batsmen on at any one time against the rest of the other team, the fielding team. The fielding team will bowl six balls per ‘over’. They can bowl fast, medium, slow or spin, long or short. Over the wicket or around the wicket. If they manage to hit the wicket (the three stumps behind the batsman) or force the batsman to put his leg before wicket (LBW) blocking the ball which would have hit the wicket, the umpire standing at the other end will give out, should he think it so, usually with a loud shout of ‘OUZ THAAAAAT?’ from the fielding team. Also, a batsman can be caught out providing the ball hasn’t hit the ground before it has been caught, straight off the bat into the fielding hands. So, the batsman has to defend his wicket. The batsmen can score a six (hit the ball out of the ground over the white boundry line before landing), a four (hits the ball out of the ground but lands before crossing the white line) or as many ‘runs’ inbetween the fielder throwing back the ball to the wicket keeper. This is when you see the batsmen running to the other end to score a run. Once the batting side are all out, the teams swap over. Now the new batting team have to beat the number of runs previously scored. Ozzy legend Shane Warne has to have been the best spinner ever. When a spin bowler is on, you will notice the fielders come closer to the wicket surrounding the batsman giving loads of verbal in attempt to put off the batsman. The spin bowler will usually pitch the ball one side of the crease where the ball turns sharply towards the wicket, forcing the batsman to make an error or no run(helping to keep the score down). When you have a fast paced bowler, Viv Richards is a great example, fielders will be further away as the ball is hit really hard. Now what tends to happen here is the batsman can make some serious runs from fast bowlers however are more likely to make a mistake then out. Get it? :???:

The US should get into it; I am a big Baseball fan (on the TV right now), the two sports share similar themes. Best cricket teams to watch are South Africa, the ozzies, Pakistan and dare I say England. :cool: …..20/20 is the go (twenty overs each side); unless you have much time on your hands then go for the five day test matches of which there are usually another four test matches to be played over the following months, the winning team is the one which won the most matches. Take a good book!

Hatricks, anything of three I guess. In football, a player scores three goals so gets a hatrick. A cricket player bowls three batsmen out, so scores a hatrick….thinking about it, I passed three exams recently so there be another hatrick…..

Thanks for another great lesson, hit for six :grin: Did I see you with an afro hair doo Marina in the opening credits? :shock:

Some use them… but blood worms give me the willies. I’d rather sniff stink bait.

Magic mushrooms + directive to play baseball = orgy in a cow pasture

Am I correct?

last time LSD came back, they left the strychnine out – takes the edge off if there’s no strychnine.

(wow… that took all this time for the vid to load)

– i think they must be related.

Hehe… Vorpal Bunny… that’s what I should be for Halloween! or maybe Tim.

Dear совершенная Marina, For your homework, the term “hat trick” is also used to recognize someone who scores three points in ice hockey, field hockey, soccer (called “football” in other countries), lacrosse, and a few other sports. In magic acts, there’s a “hat trick” where the magician apparentky has an empty top hat, but he pulls a cute, live bunny rabbit from it!
Cricket is a game in which wickets (wood staves) are placed at opposite ends of a parallelogram infield called a “pitch”. A “bowler” at one end tosses a ball to knock down the opposite wickets, but there is an opposing batsman called a “striker” who tries to hit the ball away. If the batsman hits the ball, he and and a fellow team member (the non-striker) run to the opposite ends of the pitch before the opposite team returns the ball. Runs are scored and counted and there are ways to get the batting team “out” so the other team may bat. :?:
What a beautiful orange dress you wore with the neat, black baseball cap. It was nice to see you on your bed on nice bedcovers with flower prints and lace edging. But instead of going to bed, you played with Kobe, instead!
I saw your earlier video called “The Men’s Dictionary.” In it, you said that if I invite you out to dinner, what I’m actually saying is: “I want to have sex with you.” By a similar theory, if I invite you to bed, then I must be planning a meal of “breakfast in bed?” :grin: (It’s just a joke, and it’s always nice to see your videos.) Your dear student, seesixcm6

I’d love to give it a try… I also think that’s the only way I’ll really learn the game.

Yes, but the cows get really mad… hehe, mad cow… hey, is that how that started? :mrgreen:

I fell in love with an earwig i saw creeping along the floor in a buddy’s flat.

It was beautiful .. it was like it was made of polished brass – like a living feeling machine. It’s little antennae were waving at me like it was talking to me …

.. and then it lunged at me !!!!

.. it scared me to death .. i tried to get away by crawling up the wall .. while simultaneously fantastically thrilled and choking with laughter at what was happening.

.. does that happen with mushrooms?

I have some of that in the back yard in my boat. It stinks to bad to bring it in the garage or barn. :lol:

Yeah, I have an idea how cricket is played – being a Brit you can’t avoid the game completely even if you don’t particularly like it. But explaining it to someone – er – well – sorry to sound sexist – but it is sort of like trying to explain the offside rule in football (soccer) to a woman – most just never get it.

Anyway – three goals by one player in football in a single match = hat trick. Also, similarly, three tries by one player in rugby. Probably also in hockey and so on – the term seems to be quite generic.

Nick

love your class, and your lessons,,,,do you know where “whippersnapper” originated and what it’s definition?
luv ya

Sports, like humor, are very cultural. What is popular in one area will seem dull in others, and vice versa.
For many people, if their parents were not into a certain sport, and they did not grow up watching it, then it will never be popular with them.

I was using Turbo boost from Marina’s site, but it kept locking up my computer when I run FireFox 3.0. So when I disable it her web page runs ok for a while. Then it does this until I clean my cache. I can’t seem figure it out.

[LSD Military Experiment]

mijj, shame on you :grin: The imagination should be enough with out dropping or maybe its that one I tried at college still hanging around :lol:
BTW, whats happening, man, with your vids? The beep vid is a bit short! You have to help me out here mijj as I have a very short concentration span and find that a bit too long to really understand :smile:

wish I had thought of that before explaining :oops:

Grits were something my dad and grandpa liked. I don’t dislike them, I’m just not terribly thrilled by them. So I’ve never asked for grits… outside of the South. I was partial to hash browns, or chorizo and potatoes, or (what my mother called) “German potato salad” (Me Mum’s a Yankee gal).

Man I love German potato salad. One of the guys at my fire station used to make it for us. I feel in love with it. I like both hash browns and grits. I wish my wife would learn how to make it. :smile:

That’s it dezdkado, jump right in at the deap end and give it a go. Mind you, having jumped in at the deap end with American Football caution has always been there since! I got absolutly squashed! Theres me thinking after playing years of rugby it would be a doddle :shock:

Hello Marina you looked nice in your cap. BUT could you wear your cowgirl Hat so i can see your beautiful eyes i could not see yours eyes :shock: :lol: good job Marina

But catfish looooooove that stink bait. Slivers o’ liver are a good substitute for stink bait. When I was a kid, Purina made “Catfish Chow”. I used to buy it at the feed store near my father’s ranch. Sounds silly, but the stuff worked.

well . vid 1 = 1 second

vid 2 = 2 seconds

vid 3 = 3 seconds …

… etc.

:)

+ i didn’t really plan on any progression .. but i wanted to make the simplest possible video for YouTube i could think of.

… but it’s turned into a theme .. i’m learning to use some creative stuff whlle i’m going along .. i’m just doodling around really.

+ didn’t you progress beyond the first vid? .. 2,3,4 are more reasonable.

marina did not respond to any of these comments. and by the way your boobs looked more real.

I never knew that about the catfish bait from Purina. We have used liver for catfish also and chicken guts.

My family was big into the American trifecta: Baseball, Football, and Basketball. However, I liked to try things just for the thrill of something new. I tried Hockey, but was a poor skater, as well as lacrosse, and gymnastics. Later I tried racquetball and volleyball.

Hey, Marina, I just love your lessons. Keep up the good work. :smile:
i got a food word for you to investigate.
It is the word “hamburger”.

I am a recent viewer of your Hot for Words videos and can say that brains and beauty are the sexiest things to find in a woman.
But on to the homework. I also know the term hat trick is used in the sport of playing darts and it revers to getting 3 bulls eyes by the same player in one round of play with 3 darts.

Did you Block ROADRUNRNCH ?
If so why?? If not it is…. :shock:
I could care less if I cared at all but I don’t so I can’t care less.

hmmm … above i mentioned : “I fell in love with an earwig”.

saying i’ve fallen in love with Marina doesn’t sound so special now, does it.

It happens yes. I played soccer in school, and enjoy watching the World Cup, and Euro Cup, but I know I will never experience the passion during a soccer match that I get watching my favorite football team play.

Even football (American Football), is cultural within the U.S. Here in the south NCAA football is far more popular then the NFL, and that is because there is not a long tradition of professional teams here.

It takes greater endurance for Rugby and Football than for American Football. I find Am. football is geared toward strength, but does involve much strategy and quickness of execution. Am. football involves many series of short intense plays, whereas rugby and football are continuous play… or so I see it to be.

PFFFTH! Slow?!
Let’s see … 3 hours to get Marina’s Hot Card that she even
made a lesson. The comments are numbering 147 at the time I added
this. Dudes & dude-ettes: the word is time warp!

True, in the south, especially in small towns, high school and college ball are far more important than professional football. And I had forgotten, I played soccer too, for five years… ruined my ankles from playing so hard.

Oh no, Cap… it wasn’t bait. Purina Catfish Chow was catfish food… small brown pellets of some form of meal that you were supposed to throw in the water. This stuff floated before it became completely soggy, and catfish would come to the surface to get it… in droves. My dad had a tank (man-made pond) on his ranch that was spring fed and stocked with cats and bass. When I fed the catfish, if I wanted to catch one, I never needed a rod and bait… just a simple net.

Oh ok, I gotcha

In the past weeks ago that box gibberish has shown up
it happen to the both of us on the same day as I recall
….don’t know anything about Turbo boost,
if it happens again I’ll send a note
the only problem I’ve encountered is hard time logging in
then pendantickarl said to reload the page, it worked

cricket as the trobriand islanders play it

cricket as the trobriand islanders play it

If you want to try the turbo boost go to the dashboard at the top of the page. Click on your profile. Look up in the right hand corner and you will see the word Turbo. Click on it and follow the directions. It’s supposed to make M site run faster on your computer.It works through Google.

I’ve notice that just before a new video is uploaded
that the refresh is sluggish or that box code may appear
…just figured her server was doing multiple jobs at once

It could be the server over loading.

Any game that goes on for five days is surely an endurance test.

Now I’m getting hungry :mrgreen: I think it’s time to feed. If you’re not affected by this gastronomical discussion, perhaps I can tempt you with some good ol’ down home BBQ!!! :twisted:

I like that song and band. I made it one of my favorites. Thanks :wink:

I sense something is about to happen when the computer act different so it give me a heads up when a new video is about to appear, auh!… the little tricks we learn. :cool:

…checked out Turbo boost. …will install it latter tonight, presently half way through a movie on hulu.com, The life of Che Guevara he is still a hero in some parts of Mexico, still communist in the mountains of MX.
Sometime I’ll tell you the story of the Russian submarine and my photoshop collage. :shock:

know much about augusto césar sandino?

If I want to make a video for display on YT, make a video request, etc. apart from a camera and a mic, what will I need to edit the film? Can one edit through realplayer or windows media player?

Never heard of him, but I did google his name, I’ll go back and to wiki and read some more, looks interesting.

cricket is slow, maybe cheerleaders will help.

I cannot recommend any video editing software, but I can tell you that realplayer and windows media player will not work.
In one of her earlier lessons, Marina tells what software she uses.

Ah yes, Cricket!!:

You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that’s in the side that’s in goes out, and when he’s out he comes in and the next man goes in until he’s out. When they are all out, the side that’s out comes in and the side that’s been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out.
When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in. There are two men called umpires who stay out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out.
When both sides have been in and all the men have been out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game.

ask mij or pedantickarl they shoot video.

Huh? I doubt that is the case, Greg.

Where did the word Cigar come from? And why do the British call Cigarettes “Fags”?

PS That was really awesome at the end. :cool:

odd… duplicate comments. the link in this one apparently doesn’t work.

pardon?

Homework : Sports hat tricks…
One comes to mind; World Series
baseball. Winning three games in a row,
is a hat trick. :mrgreen:
As for cricket, I don’t know the game – sorry.

Whoa Dude :shock:

Now we all know where British Humour Originates from:

Watching or even Playing Cricket!

That couldn’t be any less clear. Good job. Now why is it called Cricket?

I can even see Monty Python explaining Cricket, and American’s going: It’s a joke right? :grin:

I think James is the person to ask.

you could do the very simplest editing (chopping and joining) using free stuff … but it’s not pretty and it’s low level.

… i’ll provide links …

um… you are roadrunrnch.

Very interesting… thank you for the link, Buzzword. :cool:

yeah, it’s like gwb explaining why he does what he does, and europe’s going: it’s a joke, right?

WTF? …real classy on your part – NOT!
Go wash your mind out with soap :mrgreen:

you need to make sure your camera produces an open video format (avi, mkv, etc) – not a windows proprietary one (wmv? asf?) – that way you wont be limited to shelling out stacks of dosh … unless you’re loaded and don’t care.

An anglo-saxon word CRICC meaning staff with which they would hit the ball, apparently. They later designed a more suitable bat.

Homework: Cricket, hockey, soccer, rugby, baseball, auto racing, lacrosse, poker, and… of all things… Marbles :!:

Extra credit: Yes, I have an idea it is played with a bat… and a lot of confusing rules.

Thanks Mijj!!!

yeh .. that’s the man. :shock:

I would like to know why hair pins are called “bobby pins”… maybe a guy named robert invented them?

speedbumps… for chariots.

yeah, a joke thats lasted eight years and the punch line isn’t funny.

hehe… monty python… now I’m really confused… entertained, but confused.

i kinda hope i’m wrong. if i’m right it just makes the dude more odd.

that was an interesting request, goes back to 1500′s probably earlier. such a common item and easily overlooked word. won’t go further incase m. uses it.

As it transpires, evidently, at this conjucture, I must say that falling in love with an earwig is something indubitably remarkable in its own right. Predjudice seems to fall by the wayside when you are stunned by the rapture on uncommon foreign beauties… such as the kind outlined in your comment above.

Mushrooms will make the muscles on your face hurt from too much laughter. You usually notice this the next day. As for the experiences amidst the jovial nonsense, they include evergreen trees that look like their oozing with life and color, sometimes you see electrified grid patterns like a star wars matrix, and if you look into a mirror you might see yourself as an animal such as a lion. Lights are very “trippy” as well.

By the way, “I’ve never tried it, but, I peeked inside my Great-grandma’s diary one day when I was sniffin’ shoe glue. I was 4. :lol:

I’ve been looking online on how to become a Philologist and haven’t found much in the way of contact to lesson plans or schools. If anyone has any input it would be much appreciated.

Languages and communication have always been an interest of mine, digging deeper into why we say what we say.

Thank you Marina for putting a name to what I’ve been passionate about!

Now they call it Game Fish Chow

OOOOooooo!!! Cool Giger pic :shock:

Wow, thanks again Mijj … I saw the vdub pic of the Colbert Report

philology is included in the field of linguistics. do a search such as this and add the location you may be interested in, such as new york.

one of my most beautiful experiences was gazing at my girlfriends face and eyes.

if i rested my eyes at any place for more than a moment there would grow infinitely fine filigree patterns as part of the texture of her skin becoming steadily more and more refined and exotic. And pure thrill of falling into the pools of her eyes … pure heaven. … erm .. etc.

oops .. that should have been …

Part of my understanding is through my degree work in the history of Central America… true, I was concerned with pre-columbian history, but my degree advisers pushed me to take a few courses in modern history of the region. Secondly, as a US Marine, I was interested in understanding the Banana Wars. But my first exposure to the politics of Nicaragua was through my family. One of my elder brothers studied at the university of Managua. Many of his friends and fellow students were… associated with the struggle against Somoza. What happened there changed him… and understanding of what he experienced did not come to me until I was nearly an adult.

Word request: Energy

Specifically, can you trace how it acquired the two distinct meanings of a technical scientific term and a term describing the new-age concept of “vital force”?

actually, she responded to quite a few of the comments. Maybe she barred you from seeing her posts?

i dont think he can be more odd .. but .. this is the watering hole for odd people, isn’t it. :)

are you sure that wasn’t Yorkshire?

!! .. time for a music vid !! …

… .. ahh .. screw it .. can’t be bothered!

I’m not an avid sports watcher so I fail the homework in a big way. I do watch the KC Chiefs sometimes tho and to see them win 3 Super Bowls in a row would be a *most wonderful* “hat trick”!! :grin:

tryant

Don’t get me wrong guys,

I’m sure it’s a very fun sport to play and watch. I love Monty Python! Ni! Ni! Ni! Ni!

Sir not appearing in this film,

no i havent got a clue :???: i thought you were going to do a magic trick :razz: well im glad your doing well marina keep smilling love your positive attitude, love yah!!! :cool:

Who’s on First?

Still wondering what kind of plant it is in your studio? Hat trickkcirt taH. :roll: Sports of sorts.

so whos on first base? :mrgreen:

Quixotic – where did it come from and what is the correct pronunciation of it?
Thanks.
Have A Nice Day.

is there something we should know, marina?

And a partridge in a pear tree. :grin:

Are you talking about the twisty bamboo plant in the background of the lesson?

juat?

Chacha… I used to get teased in school because of this show. I was called Sherman (and they didn’t mean the tank) all of the time.

“Gee, Mr. Peabody…”

So why pronounce it kwix-o-tik instead of Kee-ho-tik?

I assume it’s a unique British pronunciation…

Like al-yoo-min-ee-um for aluminum
Or dahn joo-an for Don Juan

As a hockey player and a hockey fan I’m very thankful for uncovering hat trick. I never really thought about it till now.

Of course it’s used in hockey when a player scores three goals. For tradition though, you are suppose to toss your hat onto the ice. There is another type of hat trick in hockey called the Gordie Howe hat trick where a player gets a goal, assist and gets into a fight.

Hi Marina,

I was wondering what the origin of the word “God Bless You” when you sneeze comes from.

Thanks!
Macbook3393

Woops, I meant to say the TERM “God Bless You”! :razz:

really?

I never could get any thing past you :roll:

Granted, stokes my hat is off to you as well, but I stand on my initial position.

:?: :?: :?: WORD REQUEST :?: :?: :?:

:arrow: What is the origin of the phrase, “A Dime A Dozen”.

For example – That car is a dime a dozen.

Thanks

:?: :?: :?: WORD REQUEST :?: :?: :?:

Dez Can we talk?

Hey Marina,

You’re very beautiful.

I have a word request. Many times, I always yell out “Shotgun” when I want the passenger seat. What does it mean to “Ride Shotgun?”

Thanks.

ChaoticHavok

Baseball is just downright dangerous. Especially during the playoffs.

hey back again this is more trouble then it’s worth. :lol: :lol:

:arrow: WORD REQUEST
where did the word oasis come from?

lol :mrgreen:

Are you trying to sell me insurance?

I DO shoot clay pigeons, stationary targets, convicted felons that wander onto my property for any reason, as well as uninvited guests at my whim. Would anyone care to trespass my property while I am present? I’ll gladly take care of the “arresting officer” as well, should he be so foolish as to cross me. Further, I shall gladly entertain serious queries of my stance should they be presented.

Correct.

In hockey if a player scores three goals that is called a hat trick. Yes I have an idea about cricket, but it has been about 20 years sense I have watched it. I forgot some of the rules in scoring.

I just wanted to know why people say “take a hit” when they pass someone a cigarette or a joint, or where the word “Marijuana” came from, since it used to be known as hemp? which ever one would be cool
Thanks!!!

I have recently joined your website and I think it’s great what you are doing for improving peoples interest in learning new words! I really enjoy watching your posts on youtube and I never miss watching an episode on Bill O’Reilly’s Factor hoping to see you there!

Marina, What does the word “John Doe” or “Jane Doe” mean? How did this word come to imply a person who’s identity is not known?
I hope you can help me!
TC!
P.S. I think your accent is really sweet! ;-)

and a pear tree in a partridge…

nice one, Marina.

Please do The word Greed.

Particularly when did its meaning change from the morally neutral “desiring material goods” to the present meaning of “excessive acquisitiveness.” It seems we have no word any more to describe a man’s honest desire to improve his circumstances.

I appreciate your juxtaposition of the words ‘mine’ and ‘digging’. Bravo if intended, Bravo the same if not! :mrgreen:

oh! … :shock: … i didn’t mean “nice” in the sense you had it in your “nice” as a backhanded complement! :shock:

… i meant: the lesson was a pleasure to experience. :smile:

tsk …

i mean — in your “nice” video lesson –

I could direct you to the exact etymology of this one, but personally would love to see Marina do a vid on it, so I’ll just happily second the motion,

There’s a lot of comedy potential in a video for this term

As there is turmoil in the global stock markets, and as there are are 2 things that drive any market, namely “FEAR” and “GREED”, I heartily second your submission of ‘Greed’ for Marina to investigate. not to mention its rank among the seven deadly sins, making perhaps another thing for M to investigate…

Hi again Marina!

I couldn’t help myself, so i found a few new words that I would like to ask you about!

1. How did the word “Blackguard” originate? How did this word originate? doesn’t it mean scoundrel? (I’m sure Bill O’Reilly would love that word!) :grin:

2.With all the recent comments on pigs in politics these days, :lol: I couldn’t help but wonder, what does “Hogwash” mean?

3. Third, and finally, what does the term “Deux Machina” mean? Doesn’t it mean “intervention of the gods?

I hope I haven’t been a pest to you by asking you so many questions! :roll:

Tc!

Time Warp?

Deus ex machina… and a very good suggestion!

“Anybody want a peanut?”

Oh and thanks, yeah its twisted! Thought it might be an orchid without a blossom :?: :oops:

WORD REQUEST for Marina

The word is —-> PIZZA

Most people think it’s italian, but is that true?

Marina.. You made an error here.. when you said ” and bob from my website wanted to know the origin of the word hat trick” instead of “hat trick being at the bottom of the screen english_teacher_27 was there instead!1

Sorry for pointing this out.. I cant help it.. :razz: :razz:

those 36k member, are those the ones that have an actual account,or just the ones that submitted their email to get the report cards and this e mail alert?

I finaly got my internet fixed,I called my provider and it seemed like there was some problem at their side.
Yesterday night it just crashed completly.I had to send an important file to some guy, and I couldn’t do that, and I didn’t have the guys phone number -.- so I had to ride to this guy at 2 Am on my bike,the guy lives almost 15 kilometers from here -.- I didn’t have any lights on my mtb, and came across 2 police cars :???: mananged to get away from both :mrgreen:
came home at like 4.30 am, and had to get up at 6 again to do my bike messenger thing pfffffffffffffffffff i think i’m going to bed now ,even tough it’s 11.45 am :lol:

I always thought GRITS was something you did with your teeth. :lol: Thanks for prompting me to finally look up and find out what grits are.
I’ve never tried, or even heard of, German Potato Salad.
Now I’d like to request Marina to investigate where we get the name Bubble and Squeak from.

I wish I’d thought of that. :lol:
For a moment I thought he was trying to snatch Marina’s brunette wig.

Finaly i’m able to watch this video :mrgreen:
hattrick, can be used in used in many sports, like in football when someone scores 3 goals in a row it’s called a hat-trick
Cricket ,I have no idea how that is played, only thing I know is that it looks retarded :???:

I went to fight club once and a game of hockey broke out.
:oops:
Remember rule 1. :oops:

Further proof !!
My mind operates (yeah, sometimes it does) unlike any other
by combining things that would scare Stephen King:

Hi dezdkado,
If you have a Mac, you’ll want to use Final Cut. Marina uses Final Cut Pro. For a PC, you could use the free MS Movie Maker, which you will learn to hate, besides it has lots of bugs.

I use Sony Vegas Movie Studio on a PC.
You’ll see that there are 4 price points. I’m using the Platinum Edition ($85), which is sufficient to do pretty much anything. If you plan on doing fancy DVD menus, then you’ll also want to get DVD Architect Studio. Below the four products is a comparison link. Check it out and see what you need. You can download for a 30 day free trial.

The reason you fell in love with an earwig is because you envy them. :lol:
Idealfor a menage à trois.

I’ve got a buddy with a Mac… I’m gonna go and annoy him thoroughly.

Marina has competition:
http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/10/12/noah.webster.birthday.ap/index.html
Should CNN be her next conquest?

Well, there goes my usual excuse for performance failure. “Sorry, dear, but it broke off.” “I knew I should have dated an earwig!”

Grits (imo) just provide a unique texture. It is a corn-based (hominy, I think) dish and essentially bland… which is why it’s seasoned with butter and salt, or sugar, or bacon, etc. They aren’t bad, just not very exciting to me. My grandpa used to eat grits every morning at breakfast. German potato salad is difficult to explain… I would never classify it as a salad. I’d need to send a pic and a recipe… all I can say is that it is a very tasty dish… and served with eggs, some German or Polish sausage with brown mustard (and maybe a little sauerkraut), divine!

Well done on being first again!

:oops: oh dear .. i knew i shouldn’t have admitted to the love that dare not speak its name.

Here’s a pic and recipe for German Potato Salad. Of course variations exist. Me mum uses white or yellow onions, not green… and a few other things she refuses to divulge. If the vinegar seems a bit much, reduce the amount and/or add a pinch of sugar. I love it vinegary, though.

it’s that time again, huh? here.

Privet,dear Marina! How you doing? I’m an applied linguistics student and I must say that you are the most beautiful lecturer in etymology I have ever seen :smile: I have some words and idioms for you to investigate, I guess I will start with the noun ‘a dozen’ and I will also appreciate if you explain the origin of the idiom ‘a devil’s (baker’s) dozen’. Thanks in advance!

Truly yours,
Eugene aka SemP :wink:

I’m sure we’d be Bedazzled by Marina’s performance of the seven deadly sins, especially with her new Southern accent. :wink:

LOL, that was messed up

:shock: Wow :shock:

hockey – 3 goals in a game.

spiker’s comment, below, is the most brilliant summary of cricket that I have ever seen.
aLx said, “no one outside england knows how cricket is played.”; well, there are plenty of people in England who are mystified too.
Only the Brits could have invented a game which lasts for five days and, at the end of which, no-one knows who has won, or even if anyone has won.
My theory is that it was invented by the aristocracy for the sole purpose of keeping the maximum number of peasants occupied for the longest time, so they wouldn’t have time to foment revolution.

Buzz, awesome! This is just what us Brits could do with at a 20/20 game :) – after drinking a few ales and eating a few pies would make the cherry on the cake! Recall an interview with the crowd at an American footy game with the guys all having their binoculars….much laughter as the wives really thought it was to see the players action better….nothing to do with the cheerleaders at all :lol:

Hello Marina,

I’m going to suggest the word, “Accent”.
I would like to know the definition and origin

Thanks,
StarScythe

okay, so thought again how to explain cricket, as follows :)

Throw the ball as fast as you can at the batsman to try and get him out. As a batsman try and hit the ball as hard as you can and score loads of runs. At the end of the day, get a few drinks in. Sorted :cool:

aww mate, wait until you see her sister :wink:

the younger or the older one?

Good Morning Marinaville! :cool:
In Baseball
Hat Trick: Hitter Strikes out 3 times
Golden Sombrero: Hitter Strikes out 4 times
Platinum Sombrero: Hitter Strikes out 5 times
If the hitter strikes out more than 5 times the pitcher calls a limo for him. :lol:

The AM footy is pretty hard core tho, with all that extra padding adding to the weight. I still don’t understand the rules but get the jist, loads of players coming on and off confuses me greatly!! Rugby Union I used to love playing. Use to love the beat the crap out of each other on the field bit then singing songs at the bar after the game. Always battered and bruised, teeth capped, ribs busted, knees popping, blood everywhere, was a great game to play! I do miss not being able to play anymore but thankfully am close to many top teams so grab a game now and then, more beer more pies :lol:

What do you call a deer with no eyes?

I have no eye deer.

What do you call a deer with no eyes and no legs?

I still have no eye deer.

Cricket was obviuosly created by the English upper class for the same reason Polo, Golf and Tennis were created. They wanted to flaunt their wealth. All of these games required a large estate, expensive equipment or horses.

BTW…

I have heard GOLF comes from

Gentlemen
Only
Ladies
Forbidden

Is this true?

earwig mijj? earwig :shock: – ‘End of term report; Comment – Could try better!’ :lol:

Bob, congrats, you got your name up in lights again. :cool:

hello everyone! if a guy cums 3 times in a row in bed, could you call the feat “hat trick”?

Well, I’ve always known that I light up the world. :cool: :lol:

Only if the guy is Head over Heels in love with you.
BTW, why is he wearing his hat on his feat? :lol:

lesson on GOLF has been done, see previous lessons :smile:
Made me laugh your comments about upper classes, I have neither large estates or horses, altough close by! Oh the parody! Polo deffo for the upper crusts, have been to events, champers and picnics dressed to the nines however rather the salt of the earth cricket games. Cricket is usually played on a village green with a local pub not too far away. I guess it’s all about state of mind when it comes to sports, the taking part not just about the winning, rich or poor just give it your best and above all, enjoy :grin:

Enjoyed the joke too so have one for you:-
Whats small, red and sits in the corner shaking?
An angry strawberry!
:mrgreen:

this has nothing to do with the topic but i was wondering where the phrase “throwing a party” came from.

I mean cause u obviously can’t “throw” a party. but i know it means to have a party still its kinda random.

No, I would call it a miracle… and if he can cure a ham and walk underwater, he’s sure to be canonized as a saint.

keeping his head warm :roll:

Hey Bob, the Thai meal went really well so thanks again for the link :) -
Didn’t do it verbatum however the end result was absolutly spot on. Always one mind when asked for some ketchup! The cheek of the lad but whatever makes the wee fella happy, I guess? – Being the perfectionist will try again but do recall in Thailand the same meal ever tasting quite the same as before, which just adds to fun of Thai cooking :grin:

torsten on “The Mob” video page asked:
“…what young Germans call “to text”?

aLx said:
“i thought he was referring to the (german) verb “texten”.

Correct aLx:
My friend’s daughter is visiting from Oldenburg and she said “texten” as in: “Ich texte jemand”. (I’ll text someone)

She said “texten” is a better expression(besserer Ausdruck)
As opposed to “simsen” which I got from of About.com.

…..those beastly peasants, shouldn’t they be digging for earth or something?

if i was a little younger, i’d still be a guy who can cause a miracle in bed….

:lol: runaway………..

Thanks for pointing that out… I put an annotation over it just now to cover up the mistake. I remember seeing the mistake and forgot to fix it arrghh!

hehe. I have just spent 3 hours editing… Its uploading now..

I have something I want to ask you but I don’t really want to post it here.. Is there another way I can contact you?

Good request m3v4n on the deus ex machine

Well I use movie maker.. Marina uses final cut pro.. I tried sony vegas but a 2 second clip was literally about 35 mb and I couldnt be arsed to mess around trying to sort it out

How did you think of that.. WHY DIDNT I THINK OF THAT!

:mrgreen: Where did the phrase, “Curiousity killed the cat” come from? :?: :!: I’m surprised you haven’t done that one yet! :shock: Get back to us with it :!: :lol:

I think u should do the word CRICKET like the one in the video. :grin:

i think that u didnt do the phrase-”Put a sock in it!” and i suggest u try it sometime since it’s pretty funny :wink:

Marina:
Here’s something.
“It’s” is a contraction for it is.
“Its” is possessive for whatever you’re talking about.
I see “it’s” used incorrectly all the time where people should know better, as the possessive use – to the point where maybe in a year or two, I think the incorrect usage may become standard.
Something you want to work on?

foxbow asked: “OK cool, are you from germany then?”
Yes, I was born in Bielefeld, Deutschland which
is about 113 Km (70 miles) ESE of Enschede, NL.
I was ten when my parent came to the US and I’ve lost my accent since.

What’s interesting is that my friend’s daughter was born in the US and married a German and she lives in Oldenburg (ESE of Groningen) and she absolutely loves it there.

Wy did you move to the US?

I think I was in bielefeld last week…At least we drove trough it. I went to Kassel to pick up my new bow and we took another route back(which was longer :???: )

I’m not planning on staying here in The Netherlands ,need to finnish university or something else first and then i’m outa here as soon as possible :lol:

Oh what the hell. I am copying this from part of an email from fianchetto

*Idea*: Perhaps you could continue treating words like ‘fuck’ that get requested so nauseatingly frequently by the uninitiated ones (masturbate, fellatio, etc). In fact perhaps you could get a ‘reject list’ from Marina of words that she absolutely refuses to do that are frequently requested and give them the ‘fuck’ treatment. You could be Mr. Hot For The Words That We Are Sick Of Seeing Requested And Marina Has No Intention Of Doing :-)

Would this be ok?

Well Cricket is a sport that you play with a Cricket bat and ball on a pitch which is hardened grass and on this you bowl the ball overarm and the aim is to try and get the batter out by either hitting the wicket, of which there are three of them, which the batter protects. If the batsman does not hit the ball then he can be given out leg before wicket if the ball is going on to hit the stumps, another term for the wickets. The batter can also be out if he hits the ball to a fielder on the full. He also can be our if he is attempting a run, which is from the batting crease at one end of the pitch, a line that where the batsman must have his foot behind if he wants to be safe. the batting crease is 1122cm away from the wickets. When the bowler bowls his deliever, he must have some of his front foot when he bowls behind this line, otherwise he has delivered a no ball and as a result of that the batsmen cannot be given out, except for being run out, which means that the batter is not behind the batting crease. Each team has eleven players, but the batting team only has two players out in the middle at one time. Every team has to have at least two bowlers and a wicketkeeper, since the wicketkeeper stands somewhere behind the stumps, the distance depends on the pace of the bowler. Normally each team has about three pace bowlers and one spinner. This is elementary Cricket, but the best way to see how it is played is by watching it. So Marina, if you every want to understand the game of Cricket better, you should come to Australia and what Australia play, since we are the best nation at Cricket. I can be your personal guide to the game if you want. ;)

Hi marina I love your show your hilarious!

Anyways i juat wanted to request the word Scandless i have been using it a lot lately and have noticed i really dont know what it means

If you could do a video on it that would be great thank you!

…it was a day at the beach with seagulls diving at your french fries as you eat your lunch by the sea shore while watching playful otters floating on their back stacking on an abalone…so vivid was this video you could smell the seaweed…AGM

Oh yea, nice touch with the lotus flower :cool:

Just curious about the word Solon. Is it somehow related to La Sala (Spanish for Living Room)? Pronunciation is similar.

ta, Che

Columbus Day song Bob Dylan’s 115th Dream

Tai Chi?
This form is called “Grabbing the Seagull whilst holding your French Fries out of its reach”. :lol:

That’s a scandalous request. :grin:

someone who doesn’t wear scandles?

lol .. i’ve never heard this. Wacky ol’ Bob.

well .. :oops: .. that’s not exactly true … i have now.

Who? What? Oh! Him. :oops:

Ive been wondering about the word Cigarette and how it became know as a Fag in the European culture or for that matter world wide.

Thanks Captin Peacock

PS love your site not only because your easy on the eyes but I think its your funny intellectual wit.
Keep up the good work.

I am interested in what you come up with the Word Wicca. I have read other means throughout the Internet, but I want to see what you come up with. :)

hello i was at work today and the boss said that must of bin a fair few bob, refering to money , i was just wondering were it comes from and why is it used. it would be much apreciated if anyone could give me an answer

Solon/ˈsoʊlən/ Pronunciation Key -[soh-luhn] does not sound anything like La sala. What is your definition of Solon? Athenian statesman.
2. (often lowercase) a wise lawgiver. :?: :?:

shenanagan, hooligan, hanky panky

quid as in money

Sorry, mis spelt it, the proper spelling and definition is:
Salon – a shop, business, or department of a store offering a specific product or service, esp. one catering to a fashionable clientele: a dress salon; a hair salon.

This definition is from dictionary.com should it matter.

hooligan :) :razz:

lol .. that’s brilliant .. and probably quite accurate. :lol: :lol:

Funny Quote of the Day:

ok .. so how long does it take for my new display name to trickle through?

oh! .. immediate!

:oops: YouTube removed my King Crimson – Walking on Air vid. :sad:

Thought ‘salon’ was the word you wanted but it stills does not sound like La sala. Note in Spanish ‘salon’ means ‘a large hall’ used for renting for weddings or parties. :smile:

Little early for your Halloween costume mate:-D

Hello Marina,

Holy Mackerel, is my request as I don’t even know the proper spelling. Is it Wholly Mackerel, or Holy Mackerel? Is it a Religious Fish, a Fish that has been left with many Holes in its body, or a Fish that is genetically 100% Mackerel . (as opposed to a 75% Mackerel 25% Cod)??
Please with your help the next time I see something big, or a whole Lotta something, I’ll know why Wholly Mackerel is a response, and what it means.

:mrgreen: Darnko :?:

Hockey. Three goals. Hat trick.

Why do they call cricket cricket?

Thanks, James

“Bob” was slang for a shilling, eg “two bob” would be two shillings, a “two bob bit”, a two shilling piece. There is also the phrase “bent as a nine-bob note” for someone who is untrustworthy (or, more recently, homosexual, playing on the slang “bent”). As there is no such thing as a nine-bob note, you know it must be fake. Not sure if I’ve answered your question or just rambled!

it’s not retroactive like your gravatar, though…posts made with your alternate display name will remain with the display name under which they were posted, but the gravatar will update every time you change it. :grin:

thanks i get the bent as a nine bob note alot lol yep u answerd it thanks alot

Cricket summary:
You have two sides one out in the field and one in.

Each man that’s in the side that’s in goes out and when he’s out he comes in and the next man goes in until he’s out.

When they are all out the side that’s out comes in and the side that’s been in goes out and tries to get those coming in out.

Sometimes you get men still in and not out.
When both sides have been in and out including the not outs, THAT’S THE END OF THE GAME!

I don’t have a problem.

YAY i need 2 tlk 2 u srry 4 the txt talk bt i am eating

Hijinks

how did you know it was me?

Hey Capman, What part of the south are you from? I’m from Georgia!
YEEE-HAWW!!! Marina’s coming over to our side! :lol:

“Cricket?! Nobody understands cricket…” :cool:

White Smoke Went bye bye?
It’s a phat program and not worth the disk space.
like anyone here cares if you spell correctly or are grammatically correct.
15 year old boys just want is see Miss M’s ….@ :shock: @’ s
even 50 year old boys

gruf gruf :grin:

Generally, I can spell quite well, so I have to admit, you made me second guess myself. I thought you were trying to correct my spelling of “deus ex machina”. Therefore I went into my library and pulled out my dictionary. Does the OED spell it differently? Webster’s shows “machina” not “machine”… or did the spell checker attack?

Holy Mackerel as in Batman. :smile:

Because standing like that to bat gives you a crick in the back and another in the neck. :grin:

I care about spelling and grammar. Though Marina is very attractive, I (and most who frequent this site) do not visit out of an expectation of a burlesque show. Had that been the objective of the regular commentators, after nearly 300 videos, they would have long ago moved on to more carnal pastures.

your a 15 year old boy?

In nomini Catfish, et filet of Sole, et Mackerel Sanctus… Batman is cool, but just a comic book vigilante. Don’t mess with the Holy Mackerel. :mrgreen:

Rules for Cricket

eeeeeeek! :shock: that furry monster can talk type :!:

Capman????? Are you in disguise????

*Sigh* If only I could turn back time and retain what I have learned. I am much closer to 50 than 15. :grin:

Or were you asking if I possess a 15 year old boy? (Answer: No)

….you just told me :neutral:

Capman in disguise looks like Bullwinkle with a flying squirrel poking his backside… unless he has transmogrified yet again. :mrgreen:

and he knows how to use a search engine… the puppy can Google

Here is a good site then I will be looking for your comments on her page :lol:

oh yeh!!

:oops:

Thanks, Dez Here’s how it works for me:

It takes 2-3 mins to view the video, another 2-3 to post my ‘Homework’ reply, followed by several hours of fun interacting with other students, commenting back and forth, checking for replies to my own posts, offering suggestions, etc. If anyone were here for Marina’s breasts, I imagine their practice here would be more along the lines of:

1. locate a vid in which her breasts are frequently displayed
2. view it repeatedly.

Please don’t let me interrupt your repeated viewing of your favourite vid, gregs list I don’t expect you to reply.

…already have tomorrows review written for #6 :roll:

Game time!

Paste here whatever you have in copy at the moment

Ok i will start

Hi Marina. I was wondering were the phrase “the whole nine yards” comes from.

I would think they are members that have signed up for the site. Whether they are still here are not I don’t know as M didn’t elaborate on that part. As you know you have to ask M to delete your account so there is no delete my account button like on You tube here. But if you watch the numbers they are adding up more each day. Good for Marina and the site. :wink:

….people hang on to every word of a high brow critic of the prestigious Avant Guard Magazine …..people will believe what ever is written……the elite want to sound cool…..they need my reviews for conversation at the next cocktail party, charitable event, polo match or fox hunt. Every bath house, toll house, doll house, big house and out house has a copy of Avant Guard Magazine on their coffee table…how else will people know they have class…..tongue is placed firmly against cheek :mrgreen:

I’m holding out for a first class review from Pretentious? .. Moi? magazine!!

waiting room in a brothel? :mrgreen:

@ Cufan71, I am born and bred in North Carolina, just a hop and skip from your neck of the woods. I live in Fayetteville NC now as I retired from the Fayetteville Fire Department after 33 years of service. :grin:

Pretentious Moi Ragazine is so full of self importance, self inflecting/self indulgence, it’s not fit to wrap fish. Oh new vid is up, bye

Thanks, Fianchetto… you illuminate a flaw of logic aptly.

“Kobe”,

It is certainly a good YouTube video and associated channel. However, it has no associated web site with a blog with which to converse with colleagues; which is the reason I come here.

If you think you’ve set a trap for hypocrisy, you are mistaken. Posting comments on Delta’s channel does not prove that I care for grammar and spelling. The absence of my posts there does not prove that I lack caring for spelling or grammar. Likewise, my posts here do not reveal a desire to ogle Marina’s anatomy. Read them. Go back into lessons of yesterdays gone by. You’ll see comments concerned with a love for music, art, history, language, humor, gender roles, sexuality, etc. I’m sure you can search thousands, if not millions, of sites, YouTube or otherwise, within these few topics in which I have not commented. Yet my care for these still remains. If getting my jollies from pulchritude was my game, or the game of my colleagues, I would spend my time with sites that cater to such.

huh? let’s see….

I have a question about CoComment. Is it just a reader or is it possible to reply to a thread through the CoComment site?

Oh, is it possible to send a private message to a user here or are we left to purely public communication?

Hat-trick is used in: Marbles, Rugby, Baseball(three strikeouts in a row), Auto Racing:((1) wins(2) from pole position (3) garners the fastest lap speed in the race). Lacrosse, Poker by eliminating three players from the table in one hand. Also Soccer

why aren’t there any in pink then, isn’t that her color?

actually, i don’t know anyone who’d say “texten” when referring to sending text messages.
“texten” is used for “(to) talk.” ex.: “ich ruf dich an, dann können wir texten.”
sending text messages: “simsen” / “sms schicken.”

culopeludo managed to forget one of the most obvious (in My opinion) Hat-trick of all – in Hockey – when a player scores 3 goals in one game. Also the term hat-trick being used in baseball as being 3 stikeouts in a row is only jokingly used. Not really an official term in baseball.

Hi Marina!

Thank you so much for your prompt reply to my post! Im sorry for the spelling mistake by spelling “deus” as “Deux” :oops: But Marina Im still a little confused. like dezdkado said, i rechecked my dictionary and it says “Deus ex machina” I even googled it and it says the same.

would you please to a segment on it? :lol:

And dezdkado, thank you so much for pointing out the spelling mistake and correcting me! :smile:

oops! :oops: I mean would you please do a post on it! :lol:

Yes a “Hat Trick” is a cricketing term. But why is a is a “double hat trick” four wickets in for successive deliveries & not six? How is that double?

Keep up the good work Marina.

As a huge fan of ice hockey, I know that a hat trick in that sport is when a player scores three goals. A natural hat trick in hockey is when those goals are scoreed in a row (ie the first, second and third goals are scored without anyone else scoring in between).

All I know about cricket is that there are overs and tries and that there are similarities to base ball if you look really hard.

theos ek mekhanes – from Greek :smile: Great word request, hope Marina follows this one up

Thanks matalexwolf! Hope Marina does consider it! :wink:

James,
Send a message through the website and then it will email me and I’ll reply.

Do you mean if I go on something like.., Report website problem. Because I can’t email you through the website because you got rid of the hyperlink in the contact section.

When I went to college at Boston University, I lived at West Campus. There are three dorms there named Rich, Claflin, and Sleeper Halls. The halls are named after the three founders of B.U.. When all three dorms had a false fire alarm on the same night it was called a ‘hat trick’. Not sport, nor very much fun for anyone involved. Except, perhaps, for the jerks who pulled the alarms. :roll:

Where does the word Hickey come from?

Hockey, when a player gets 3 goals in one game.

Nice CAP :)

mostly in hockey

i dont understand cricket… why try to hit a ball with a boat paddle… i dont get it…

in hockey, personaly i think it`s the best sports on earth but whatever, i think the word hockey would be an interesting word request for me and the other guys who writes the same request

You just have a thing for having it called ‘pulchritude.’ I can tell by aggregating the celebrity pulchritude adwords results. :mrgreen:

FARK.com (well, Drew Curtis at any rate) uses it for three impressions with one round of foolishness: Like so.

Oops. Search like that didn’t bear out, not without a FARK archives login, but I’m certain it wasn’t DailySquee.com!
An example would be the DUI/escaped-from-field-trip/flees-on-foot trifecta or ‘hat trick.’

Double hat trick rules have changed! Batters didn’t always hit 6 in a row multiple times a year!

You have to want a nautical sport, then somehow find yourself on a manicured lawn of unusual size. The ball’s only sensible; that kind don’t get lost or chewed up easily.

This is a very nice post, thanks.
Found for myself some new details ..

In Cricket 4 wickets in 4 consecutive deliveries is considered a double hat trick because deliveries 1, 2 and 3 are a hat trick and deliveries 2, 3 and 4 is the second hat trick. Thus 5 wickets in 5 consecutive deliveries would be a tripple hat trick or a hat trick hat trick!!
:roll:

I dont understand Hockey..why try to hit a heavy black jar lid with a shepard’s hooked staff?..I just dont get it??
:lol:
