Zoology

nice 300 vids :) gratz ;-)

:grin:

favorite animal at the zooo…… I don’t have any really…. or it must be something edible :lol: lol nah, i duno really i liked wolves when i were a kid..but they ate my grandfathers dog so yeah… :???:
gonna go back to bed now, only turned my pc back to print out some route :lol:

Hey! you’re in my seat, you animal
Monkeys

Hey guys !!!

Since I don’t have a Kobe I guess my favorite is the Grand Elephant followed up by the Giraffe.

Boy that top just electrified the video.

Deer. They make for great eating. Another great video. As I would have pronounced it Zooology. :wink:

Nope .. Miss isn’t wearing a raincoat.

Marina,

What’s that thing between your knees?

mijj, teacher said you need to stay after school and clean the gum (sic) from under my desk. Touche by Che as he blows the smoke from the barrels of his six shooters then spins both into his holsters

I love the way the pattern of M’s top strobes with the resolution of the vid.

Dear Miss Orlova,

I have a grey cat named Misty but we’ve always just called her Kitty.

Though at the Zoo … wow … there are a lot.

You know I don’t really like Zoos.

Free the animals!

Are you down? We’ll go at say … after midnight … and we’ll wear ninja masks and free the animals.

Call it a field trip.

Operation: There is no Zoo in Zoology

Thanks for teaching us a word of Russian :mrgreen:

YourStudent,
ThoughtOnFire

who .. do you mean me? … :oops: .. modesty forbids..

Hey hey hey

{… :cry: .. crestfallen … sets fire to desk ..}

{.. perks up at thought of being Miss’s personal hand-servant after school ..}

It’s Yogi Bear

A mother once told her young daughter if you keep an aspirin between your knees you wouldn’t get pregnant. :grin:

Another great lesson, and Congrats to Marina for 300!

Favorite animals at the zoo: primates… human children, the agents of chaos
Second Favorite: Penguins… they always had a cool room in the hot summers of the South.
Zoo-ology for me please.

siberian tiger and siberian husky and russian wolfhound

nonono… Fat Albert! :mrgreen:

Yogi is more like “Heh Heh Heh” or “Hey, Booboo…”

yes, Marina .. but your Kobi isn’t in the zoo, is it. So you messed up the answer to your own question.

… you should be ashamed! .. you should be setting an example of clear logical thought.

russin reign deer also

russian

oh .. i didnt see you started your post with “Marina” .. that makes my response kind of stupid, doesn’t it .

:oops:

d’oh!

i think my favorite zoo animal must be the Chelsea Pensioner ..

.. [seen here in his enclosure during mating season]

HI Marina congratulations on your 300 video my favorite animal is the tiger

I asked for these words one at a time before. But this time I’m asking all at once.
PHANTASMAGORIA
MISANTHROPIC
EXTEMPORANEOUS
CIRCUMLOCUTION
BACCHANALIAN
ANTHROPOMORPHIC

oh .. erm .. now .. i’d better make this perfectly clear .. that wasn’t me between Marina’s knees! :oops:

Master is Foxbow, yet again…
Dusts off laurels from yesterday
Glory is fleeting
Glory is fleeting

ok .. (pimp time) … if everyone’s can draw their attention from the thing nestling between M’s thighs, maybe you’d like to have a look at my vid …

it ent spectacular .. but it’s home made, with lots of honest country goodness …

spinning wheel, doesn’t want to load

Oh Yeah It’s Like Mickey Mouse then isn’t it?

When I lived in Cincinnati, I had a
membership to the Zoo (always a good
place to take a date). I spent a lot of
time there and gave all the animals
names. My favorite one was a goat
at the petting zoo who would recognize
me and come running over, which was
always impressive to the girls. The brown
goat in the picture is Fred. I would give
my date a handful of cracked corn, and
Fred would eat it right out of her hand.
For some reason, girls find it erotic when
a goat’s tongue keeps licking their hand
after the corn is gone! Meet Fred :mrgreen:

damn .. it was a lovely pic of an elderly gent in his uniform grappling with a nubile wench with a fishnetted leg firmly in his grasp round his waist.

…got the picture

It looks like a draw string, tied in a bow :mrgreen:
Holiday gift wrap, maybe? Ho Ho Ho!

No disrespect intended to you or your choice of site, but there’s a lot more to Marina than looks. We kid and tease like sophomores, but it’s all in fun. Also, I like the people I’ve met here. Lastly, never underestimate a man’s ability to underestimate a woman.

here’s some chelsea pensioners outside mating season …

http://www.cheerfultravel.com/Images/Chelsea_pensioners.jpg

….this was the first type of birth control pill

Bouncy Bouncy Bouncy Bouncy
Fun! Fun! Fun! Fun! Fun! :mrgreen:

i think M was performing a kindness.. she was merely providing an excuse to gaze upon her nether regions – she knows we’d feel guilty and embarrassed otherwise.

Favorite animal at the zoo would be the Hippo.
Did you know they are responsible for more human deaths than any other animal in Africa. Reason is people think they can just walk up to them with no problem, but when they get too close they get trampled.

Funny vid! More like Mickey Mouth…heh, sounds like I’m lisping…
Ethel Thayer :mrgreen:

i think sbuddy26 is here just to pimp the site (takes one to know one).

:grin: :grin: 300 vids, many congratulations to you HFWs :grin: :grin:

….big puss cats, spesh the Lions. loveing all the animals mind, close by are the Beenham Wolves, surreal when they start calling to one another. Closed last year, Ipsden Zoo containing many variations of Owls. Fondest memory when in Ozz sat next to a Sloth who came out of his tree to say hello, we had alot in common that day. Both lackadaisical as way too hot to do anything…….

Thanx for correcting the term Zo-ology. More ammo to impress with :smile:

OK.. you got me… damn, those guys are the living dead. :mrgreen:

Dear Teacher:

My homework: (This is not a snack Kobe!)

My favorite animals in or out of a zoo are the elephants. I am amazed how quietly they can walk.

…as with Buffalo, Accountable for more deaths to humans than all the other African animals put together….

Looks like another wannabe site copying
as much from Marina as the law allows :roll:
Not even a GOOD clone – mediocre, at best.
Sorry – no sale :mrgreen:
Come back and visit us after HOTFORPROFIT
gets her 100k+ subscribers, 1,000,000+ views
and 300+ videos out there. Marina has done the
work – what nutritional value does this site offer?

Looks brighter.. Did you change the background color?

Heart Shaped Box? :mrgreen:

I didn’t notice I am so sorry (puppy dog eyes) a BIG congrats on 300 videos :grin: :grin: :grin:

i’ve not changed it since i put it up .. maybe the drugs are kicking in?

hhhmmmm, no thanks! looks unoriginal in everyway so dred to think what she sounds like…..sorry! :neutral:

jumping the bandwagon, really bloody naff thing to do, so dull. Hotfornothing! So let me think, hotfornothing or hotforwords??….i can see where this maybe going…….

How about codicile …

That was apparent, but I lack the discipline to let that comment go unanswered. Marina has a good policy of not responding to negativity. I should follow suit, but the antiquated notion of chivalry will not die in me, or in others it would seem.

word request “passion”

and happy 300′th video

OK Homework: I love the cats! Big cats, small cats, pussycats – love them cats!

penguins, they walk like mini me

lol … at first i thought that was a subtle comment about what M was sitting on.

hehe… my only drugs are caffeine, sugar, and the occasional alcoholic libation… ooooo maybe it would look better with a beer

Thanks but NO thanks I think I’ll sitck here with the REAL McCOY!!!!

mijj, was just getting into it, then it ended. Beep#1, still my fav!

I understand that the Russian language is one of, if not the, most difficult languages to learn. Please begin the lessons.

lol

except the mosquito, maybe?

lol, yeh .. i like beep#1 too .. it has it’s own special supremely arrogant character. :smile: .. that’s a vid that wont put up with any nonesense.

The mosquito!! Female too….really do hate mosquito’s

Singing that in Spanish must be tiresome…

Rebote Rebote Rebote Rebote Rebote
Divertido Divertido Divertido Divertido Divertido

OK….just while watching the cat video… had a Raggaeton song playing in my headphones, synced up well, it did :cool:

Yes mosquitos SUCK

Hey ChaCha were you a resident there since you were there so often. :razz: :razz: I raised a baby goat gave him a name of Rocky. He was cool until I found him on top of my car one day. So he went to friends goat farm. Goats are like cats they like to get on the highest places. :cool:

Give me Marina or give me Death!! :grin:

The black dot that is just on the edge of the screen? Maybe a mic, or a handle for the camera’s tripod.

Tigers

i seem to have got myself in a terrible tangle, buzz, where i’ve somehow managed to end up between Marina’s knees.

:oops:

this is so embarrassing.

LOL, very good

Marina is a legend in her own time that what to be is a legend in her own mind she dos-it even come anywhere close to Marina

300!?! CONGRATULATIONS, Dear Teacher!
You do
that voo-doo
that you do
so well!!

Here’s to 300 more! Salut!

Ciao,
Fianchetto

Nice present, huh :wink:

Tigers? In Africa? It must have escaped from the a href=”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCkFhafk26A”>ZOO!

good one :lol:

D’oh!

ZOO

The one in the middle looks like he’s from ZZTop. :lol:

But do they…erm, literally

Do you regret that you have but one life to give for Marina? :mrgreen:

can we not talk about goats please, not here at HFWs? Can’t explain so best just to ignore me on this one!….bleeting little %*&£$”….of all things, a goat!…… :???:

:smile:

is it true that after each lesson, M takes a student and has dirty filthy sex with him until his brain leaks, and then kills him and drinks his blood?

Probably a Mike as in Capman. :lol:

Happy feet

Bad experience huh. No problem pal. :wink:

… just one of those things i’ve heard .. probably no truth to it.

Oy! *shakes head* :grin:

all i can say is that, her site lacks my comments.

She’s a vampire KGB agent isn’t she. The ones in detention. :lol:

Hey where has CaptJack been. He didn’t go and find a live girl friend did he?
Sad that Marinas favorite animal is a 50 year old Cowboy named Kobe??
What was that hairy Rat that jumped her in the end of the Video??

however, they are the reason that humans avoided much of the world’s tropical forests. thus in some way they have defended a natural habitat that would have been destroyed by now.

we could all help her out and vote one stars! :wink:

Baby Elephant Walk :mrgreen:

It should be spelled Zooology or ZoOlogy

Jack is getting his new boat situated to suit him. He is still working in the background on other projects for Marina. That little hairy rat is her little dog Kobe. :smile:

Hi, Teach. Another sweet vid. I was wrong on the pronunciation. Thanks. Congratulations for #300! I wish for you continued success. Keep them coming-I’ll get caught up soon.

{observing own cerebro-spinal fluid on the floor}

Mijj! I can’t feel mah legs! I think I’m a goner! Give mah best to auntie Em!

{koff}

Take good care of old yeller fer me!

d’ah… gonna raise the bunnies, George?

i think there’s a schlock horror movie here ..

… she’s an alien vampire harpy in the guise of an online wordsmith. Her mission is to sap the energies of the males of the species. Thus, enabling the invasion of the earth by millions of her sisters.

i think your confusing your personal re-imagining of marina with the reality of marina. just wanted to stop you before you posted a video response to marina of you naked and suspended in a home made spider web of twine and yarn, blithering on about the ecstasy of her venom.

… noooooooooooooooooo….!!!!….

not poor Fianchetto! … the horror he must have suffered .. and then to be killed and have his blood drunk afterwards, too!

I have never had harpies before. But the sapping sounds fun. :lol:

hang on a minute .. which is the reality of marina and which is the re-imagining? .. i’m confused now.

By the way-Do ya’ll know why the toilet paper you find in public institutions(airports, schools, at work, etc.) is called John Wayne toilet paper?

Dear совершенная Marina, When you say “zoology”, the first syllable doesn’t rhyne with “look.” Instead, it rhymes with “oh.” For your homework, the people who watch animals at the zoo are often more fascinating than the animals themselves. They sometimes make “animal sounds” that are nothing like the noises the real animals make! It’s also fun to watch them try to make parrots imitate words they yell at them. :lol:

Of the animals, I was very impressed with the dolphin exhibit. The dolphins perform shows with their trainers in which the dolphins do amazing aerial acrobatics! They’re so heavy, it must be hard for them when they hit the water, but the dolphins do it many times. :!:

What very nice, colorful shorts you wore in this video. In previous recent videos, you wore short-shorts that were red or black, but you never wore your cut-off Levi’s. I think those short blue jeans would show off your slender, beautiful legs the best! :grin: Your dear student, seesixcm6

If you come to my home town, we have the Bug Zoo. You can get a hands on look at some of the lesser known creatures & the importance of entom/zoology.

first movie I ever saw, still love it :grin:

Good Buzz stop him that would be repugnant :shock:

do you all get dumped after about 15min I need to register ever 15mins.
humm? Can a Dog get a break?

see .. my theory is .. instead of making money from some boring ol’ book .. M should have considered a comic book series .. with a plot like the one i’m outlining, fer instance.

weird sci-fi sex-laden story with the word lesson stuff in there too.

In the zoo, My favourites are the Lions, Tigers and other large felines…
By the By, I say Zo-ology… :mrgreen: :smile: :grin: :cool:

welll … dogs do seem to need to take a dump every 15 mins. .. maybe that’s the problem.

I think she got me comin’ and a-goin’… Simultaneously…

{koff}

Actually fellas is more like zeusoology

Hey! what happen to Yomero,
do you think he is a dentition victim? :shock: :eek:

Because it will “fix your little red wagon”… er, caboose? :mrgreen:

if your still between her knees, then thats the re-imagining. if your sitting alone in front of a monitor reading and posting comments with a bunch of other dudes doing the same thing… reality.

“your” … :twisted: you’re

i think that little error has destroyed your entire argument!

{.. smug mode ..}

whoa! excuse me. just walked in on mijj and fianchetto roll playing again. i gotta learn to knock.

mijj, more like a graphic novel.

Hello my dear teacher. I’m very interested to know the origins of the nautical terms “PORT” and “STARBOARD”. Thank you!

I’m sure you already know, Buzz, but y’all should check the history of the Panama Canal to get a good idea of what the lowly mosquito can do. Man was not impeded much by geography, but died in tens of thousands from the bite of this insect.

I don’t like zoos, I think the animals are miserable in cages.. :sad:

Sorry for the attempt at humor… do you have the answer, as I would like to know… or are you searching for the answer yourself?

C’mon Buzz … Have a little respect for the dead here, friend! :grin:

Sounds like something Frank Miller would do…

# 100 Video# 200 Video less Mary Poppins and 15 year old boys on the page :sad:

I never have a problem with it.
Maybe you can try to click the box that says “remember me” at the login?

best of luck

lol… just looked it up in the urban dictionary. Funny, but in all of my years in the USMC I never heard this term.

@Che volay. I sure hope so lucky bloke. I haven’t heard from him in a while maybe he’s on vacation or just taking a little break from his computer. As you know these things are addictive. :smile:

Word Request- Weird

and zoology

Well, I guess I’d have to say a lion, although I haven’t been to a zoo in a long time.

an adjective used to describe posts and replies by Che and Mijj? :mrgreen:

Because it’s rough and ready. Just like the old Duke. :grin:

To the blogger formerly known as mijj:

Actually, I think the YOUR vs. you’re added a little something to his argument. Or should I say it has taken something from YOUR argument? You see, when you can only comment on Buzzword’s grammar, you’re signaling us that you got nothing.

Cheers :razz:

What a lovely way to burn!

…never seen this done before… From the inside out… reimaging, not reimagining?

so .. anyway buzz .. any more thoughts on teh occult? … i just mention it because my last little revelation worked out really well for me.

…ya got ta buy a program to know who the players are…. :smile:

I agree with you two–tigers are the BEST!!

They are a symbol of strength and cunning in martial arts.
They are amazing to watch–so smooth, so agile, so powerful.
Then they leap, and you see a 200 lb. feline at the top of a tree.
Beautiful man, it’s beautiful :smile:

You also have to see buzzword’s other grammar arguments to “no watz you talkin bout.”

your gravatar looks more like krypto than ace the bat hound.

Very cool :grin:

Cat!! =]

speaking of cat.. could you look up the phrase copycat? what does cat have to do with copying =\

please and thank ya =]

your doing wonders for victoria’s tourist industry.

in the words of bill bailey…
“i wanna be a pan’fa!”
lol.
also marina, where does the word tabloid come from and what does it mean?
as in: a tabloid newspaper.
thanks.
:)

First time I’ve seen something like that, liked it mucho :cool:

because it doesn’t wipe your ass and neither does john wayne?

:grin:

Sorry.Had to do something. John Wayne toilet paper: because it’s rough, tough, and don’t take shit from anyone!

‘Coz it’s rough, and tough and don’t take shit off nobody!

My answer is like my name Lion and as brave. :roll:

ooo… saw peggy lee on the related list. peggy lee is good.

Or you could pay me and I could look it up in the dashboard comment search feature.

i’ve never had a problem with the pronunciation of zoology, although i have, on occasion, heard other use “zoo-ology”…*shrug* – as long as we know we’re talking about the same thing, it’s all gravy…

my favorite animal in the zoo is the elephant – usually they’re the most animated…but since i’m just south of Atlanta, i would be remiss if i didn’t point y’all to our pandas – probably the cutest non-bears you’ll ever see:

Zoo Atlanta’s Panda Cam

thank you .. glad to see you understand my point.

it’s a terrible thing when a man’s entire delicate structure of reasoning is made entirely useless because of a thoughtless indiscretion.

My nickname is also my favorite zoo animal: Raccoon.

oh .. apparently the “your” thing is some kind of patois used often by your kind. (Museum people, i believe)

Watch what you say about my future ex-wife!!

yes, when evaluating an occult practice it is best to note if the originator of the practice has a goatee and wears a cape. if they do then you can be assured that you’ve discovered a promising occult practice.

as in zoe

oh, thats cool!

EEEK sorry Rocky. :shock: :grin:

Ok I have the tally on the comments between Che Volay and Mijj. Who’s going to be the highest bidder :?:

You remember Willie B.? I saw him when I was 6 :-)

that’s happened to me a few times too .. i think if it happens again, we should take the hint and quit.

lol … yeh .. the principle concern is that the area of one’s study should be respected.

or just wait and let weird get weirder and weirdyer

…trouble maker :evil:

http://www.thestranger.com/blog/files/2006/09/raccoon.jpg” rel=”nofollow”>Rocky Raccoon

because it hates american indians and died of cancer?

I can imagine all of the animals in the Zoo feel like this

http://www.youtube.com/profile_video_blog?user=ThoughtOnFire&page=4

I Call for a Field Trip!

Operation Codename: There is no Zoo in Zoology

Plan: Free the Animals

Bring treats for everybody.

(I wonder what Miss Orlova’s Favourite is?)

TOF

recently biologist determined the panda a bear. yeah, i’ve had to call up thousands of people and admit to being wrong.

wibble

Yes. I have an account with WordPress, as well as with http://listverse.com...

with all due respect to american indians and cancer, lol.

Rocky Raccoon

The Bronx Zoo is also a great place. Noticed it had a little “sneak a peek” in M’s video. Famous for it’s emphasis on family and such.

?

snif… excuse me, i got to call my mami and poppy. no, really cute pics. and my second favorite animal next to the bonobo.

do you mean the face painting thing?

yes, i saw Willie B. several times…not that he ever seemed to do much but sit there… :mrgreen:

I used to love Dr. Strange comics, but now I prefer Dr. Strangelove.

Dear Miss Orlova,

In the Spirit of Halloween I request the Phrase:

“Trick or Treat”

I suppose that’s very simple so maybe “Halloween”

Oh I guess that is simple too.

Trick or treat, give me something good to eat, if you don’t, smell my feet, trick or treat…

Oh… I said feet…

It’s a trick.

TOF

well, i’ll be danged…thanks for the new info, buzz…

but don’t tell my friends – they still think we’re divine creations… :wink:

Well kobe and RRR are blocked now again :roll: I was bored and tired of this but now I have something to do. Hack in to the page. back door man. :lol:

marina i have a word for you to investigate…schmuck…where did this word originate from? keep up the good work!!!

Yes… I got that one some time after I sighned up here…
D’oh! as Homer Simpson would say…

How about these:

Baby elephant dance (Dig that tail and ear action)

cute elephant dance

>a href=”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DufynU7y4Wc”>
baby elephant walk on Marina’s favorite instrument

Then you’ll like this Handsom devil. Found these while wandering around like a hillbilly.

:oops: :oops: :oops:

the last link redue:

baby elephant walk on Marina’s favorite instrument

OK, how ’bout these guys from Athens?

where does your neck of the woods come from¿??

i have another word…celluar as in celluar phone. can you investigate?

Heh, Rock Lobster was a real hit when I was young… I feel so old :oops:

Mating Season

Dammit, Dez you took the words from my dearly departed mouth… :mrgreen:

Dollar General

No, she can’t investigate celluar, because there’s no such word. :smile: However, cellular was discussed quite a bit in the Mob video, so go look at the comments on it here and on YouTube.

Good Idea, Metal – my “1′s” just tore her a new one!… She has so few ratings that my one vote on each of her 5 vids drove her avgs to hades… :evil:

Willie B. was never the same after they took his TV away. It has been a few years since I’ve been to the Atlanta zoo. I should get down there soon.

The B-52′s were one of my first concerts. I saw then at the Fox in ’82. Now I feel old too.

I like the tigers at the zoo.

In a book about the Bath Iron Works, called “The Yard,” John Wayne was mentioned, as he attended the launching of a navy ship. At the moment of launch, nothing happened. This sometimes occurs when launching down ways and everyone has to scramble to get it going to avoid too much embarassment. Anyway, it didn’t go. So John Wayne gets up from his seat in the V.I.P. area, walks over to the bow and kicks the ship (or some part of the supports). Lo and behold it starts moving, much to the approval of the crowd. They couldn’t have planned a better launch if they tried.

My Favorite animal would be… your puppy! Kidding, don’t have a favorite animal ): Now I’m sad. Marina I was watching one of your earlier videos and you said you didn’t know a thing about cricket. I’d be happy to teach you my dear student :)-

That’s way too cool, mon frere! Tres belle!! :mrgreen:

Hi marina,

I just joined your website and appreciate the word origins you share with us. I was catching up on some of your older videos and was watching the “Marina” video when I heard you say that your name origin possibly means you are from Mars. I laughed and smiled a little, but thought of the phrase, “Women are from Venus, men are from Mars.” I was under the impression that the phrase derives from the Roman Goddess Venus and God Mars, (which of course they stole from the Greek’s counterpart Aphrodite and Ares.)

Please share with us if there is more to this phrase than I have heard.

That top! Oh, the pain of the Moire pattern! My eyes are blinking, tearing up and making indignant phone calls to my brain. I have adjusted my horizontal hold, but to no avail. Stop before I go mad.

Zooology, the study of zoos. What else would you call it?

Another phrase, in light of Halloween coming up, what is the story behind Hocus Pocus?

Good grief! I have missclicked and commented where I did not intend to. Now to recover, I will actually have to say something pertaining to eric12′s request.

Schmuck is the sound that your foot makes when pulling it out of three inches of mud.

Removedmatressback missingsmallboneseperatingvertibraybornewithouthardsurfackeepbackfromhurtingonlyablestandfor1520minutesbeforesquatorsitforfewminutessss

Good one! I’d love to hear about this phrase… and welcome to the site, Thinkingbeyondhere.

Hi Marina, I’d like to know the origin of the word “trailer” as in “movie trailer.” Why are movie previews called trailers and when did they start calling them that?

-Thanks
Sincerely,
Big Willie Style

First I just want to say thanks for being hear. You have taught me so much, and you’re really good on the eyes. lol
Some friends and I where talking about the word Joystick, well I guess you know where that conversation was going. lol Well I thought of you and was hoping you could help? Where did the word Joystick come from?

Keep it up
Todd Horvath

lol, I do love the tigers… but I read your reply incorrectly. I thought, at first, that you were referring to “Two Tigers”, which was the name of a video arcade game when I was younger. Pardon me while I go and clean my glasses, rub my eyes, and read again.

As my internet name might suggest, the WOLF! :twisted:

Hi Marina,

I was wondering if you could do the phrase ” I heard it through the grapevine.” It never made sense to me

Thanks,
JC

Here’s what Mr. Marvin Gaye has to say on the matter…

When I watch the video here on this site, does it register on YouTube that it was viewed? Or must I visit her YT page, and watch the video there, in order to increase the number of views?

I can’t really name my favorite animal at the zoo because I haven’t been to a zoo in over 15 years.
I used to say “zoo-ology” before, with the help of “Jeopardy!,” I wised up and started pronouncing zoology correctly. I’m almost inclined to say it with an Ontario, Canada accent, since I learned it from hearing Alex Trebek say it. :lol:

That’s a good phrase to investigate. It has a bit of a history lesson to go along with it.

…And Marina’s take on the subject…

Eyes be old fashonied Biblical

She hasn’t done that one yet, but here are a couple of aeronautical ones to tide you over till she gets around to ‘Joystick’:

[COCKPIT]

[BALLS TO THE WALL]

Ciao,
Fianchetto

This vid, by my understanding, is piped here via YouTube (q.v. logo at bottom right of viewing screen) and views here are linked to YouTube and do count toward Our Dear Teacher’s total at YouTube.

Go to YouTube and under Statistics & Data you’ll find that there are…..oops! 0 sites linking to this video….Marina! Captain Jack! PKarl! HELP!!! no links…. is something wrong? :oops:

Can you do the word charlie-horse?
Please and thank you!

The scientists discovered more supporting evidence to show the animal could be a subspecies of black bear

it doesn’t say what evidence exactly they discovered, does it?

the dog came closest to that of the giant panda in structure with 80 percent similarity

so, pandas are … doggish bears or something?

Congratulations on 300! Keep them coming, please?

Homework: It is difficult to respond. There are so many animals that have their own unique draws. I would have to say the animal I enjoy watching the most are Human Beings. Be they in a zoo or ‘in the wild’. I find it interesting how they interact with non-Sapient animals.

Of course, I people watch. I’m intrigued in how people interact with each other. Adding animals to the equation changes the dynamic considerably.
————————————————————————————–
I’ve always wondered why words such as ‘through’ and ‘rough’ had different sounds phonetically though they appear to be homophones. Could you possibly investigate?

Again, way to go on your 300th video! May many more be done!

Other vids have 5 sites linking to them, but this one has none. I have fired a flare to Marina in the ‘Website Problems’ section of the Contact tab. hopefully will be sorted out soon… :grin:

Have you ever found the Mushroom on the $1 Bill?

Hi Marina!

It’s Mevan again. I came across a few interesting words that I would really like to know from where and how they originated! I hope you will help me out!

1. Geronimo – Why do sky divers or paratroopers sometimes shout
“Geranimo!” before they jump out of a plane? what does it mean? :lol:

2. Carte Blanche – what does this word mean?

3. catch-22 – what is a catch 22?

4. John Doe & Jane Doe – How and why do people call someone who’s
identity is unknown man a “john Doe” or a “Jane Doe” when its a woman?

Please Help me out!
:lol:

OOPS! :oops:

I meant How and why do people call someone who’s identity is unknown called a “john Doe” or a “Jane Doe” when its a woman?

Sorry!

:mrgreen: or bearish dogs?

Very good, sir. Hopefully all will be worked out soon.

I looked for this in the Words and Phrases section. I should have known… I looked for it under Grapevine, Heard, and Through, expecting to see the phrase. I didn’t and so posted my reply above. I should have looked under its meaning. Perhaps a cross reference should be done in the future?

We did have something we called a John Wayne, as I recall, but it was a tiny can-opener that we wore with our dog-tags… and that sucker was tough and sharp.

Hi can anyone tell me how i can change my profile pic? :???:

I also like lions, tigers, turtles and most of all great white sharks!

Quick request. I was helping my sister study some words for a test and the word lackadaisical was there. I am aware of the meaning but what are the origins?
LACKADAISICAL.
I would figure it out myself but I am trying to act in the spirit of the word. Thanks

just click your current pic … will take you to gravatar.com. you may need to log in again, but once you do, you can then upload several pics from your computer to select from to be your current gravatar. OH..when you do change pics, it’s retroactive – it will update for all your prior posts as well :-) hope this helps!

Hi Marina,
I enjoy watching your videos, not only because you are beautiful but because I learn something new everytime. I have a word request. I was wondering where we get the word digit. I have heard it used as a number, fingers are called digits, and we also have the word digital (such as watches, clocks, and now digital cable) How are these words connected?
Thank you,
From,
iateliver

hello Marina, i would like to know the origin of the world “cooch”, thank you.

word*, sorry it’s late :lol:

Though she doesn’t mention ‘grapevine’ specifically, I remembered the gossip vid and just thought I’d toss you something pretty close:-)

flesh blood bone hair and spit :???:

never looked for don’t care too either

But it destroys your resolution, eh Mijj?

Hey Hey

My favorite animal in the zoo is the Pull-me-Push-you … Hang on, did I get that right? :wink:

Being Southern and a Fireman, Cap should have a heart attack watching THIS :!: :mrgreen:

Hey Ya!

The Yanks may need a translation… I know I do. :mrgreen:

All of these are excellent words for investigation. I especially appreciate “Geronimo.” If Marina doesn’t answer these right away, please ask again. We’re more than happy to share what we know or point you to a reference source.

i’m curious about the etimology and the correct useage of “nontheless/nevertheless”.

Push-me-pull-you

Original creature is from Dr. Dolittle, I think :-)

My favorite animal is the aardvark.

A codicile is an allegory that lives in African rivers. :roll:

yeh .. sad to say, my resolve has been destroyed. :sad:

my favorite animal is the duck billed ipod .. not something i’d allow into my home .. but cute, nevertheless.

Meerkats are always worth a laugh.
Marine, can you help with the following: In New Zealand, the word ‘jandal’ is used to describe a type of sandal – but in nearby (well, relatively) Australia, the word ‘thong’ is used to describe the same thing. Back in NZ again, the word ‘thong’ means something completely different, relating to underwear.

1) Where did the word ‘Jandal’ come from?
2) How did 2 english-speaking (mainly) countries close to each other come to adopt such a different meaning for the word ‘thong’?

:?:

and of course you are Marina (not Marine) – slip of the keyboard, sorry.

This one’s for Pagedoll.

ps … why is it that image popped into your mind? … i mean .. the image of me strapped naked in a web convulsed in Marina venom ecstasy? … what is it about buzz that caused that image to fly into his imagination? … and … should i buy a gun?

Reminds me of [THIS] :grin:

The one with Rex Harrison? I think I vaguely remember that. OK, got it. Thanks for the translation.

Hey Marina, I was wondering if you could find the origins of the word “zenith”. I think it means the highest point of something, the culmination. Something like that :razz: Thanks a lot!

?

John Wayne hated american indians and died of cancer.

what’s the “with all due respect” mean?

lol .. they’re so cute .. girls love em!

don’t talk to me about the african savanna strimmers .. i hate those nasty things. .. always creeping up on you.

but always … the most beautiful and sensual of creatures is the [Cuddly Stripy Marina] … {.. sigh .. :smile: }

Nah… that’d just piss him off. Besides, step up to a challenge… insert the bullets manually. :mrgreen:

Now, I too, am getting a vision… George of the Jungle vs. Ape. I don’t know who’s going to win, but “watch out for that tree!”

blatant pandering during an election campaign.

Maybe you should have adjusted Marina’s vertical hold. :wink:

no worries mijjj. just remove your clothes and stand by the marina mannequin, say the lines the way i wrote them for you. and remember i want you to cry out like a bleating lamb.

lol .. i know what you’re doing .. you’re throwing random words and phrases into the response and laffin at my struggle to figure it out.

ahaha .. ahha .. :?:

dez, “insert bullets manually” ouch! and george was the innocent, the ape had all the brains.

Cuddly, stripy, but strange… :smile:

good idea .. can’t say i’m too enamoured of tanned skin tho .. maybe if it was lightly toned in different colours.

I know her…. that’s Laurie Partridge, all grown up! :mrgreen:

likely it was genetic evidence that it could be a black bear subspecies. although it did not note that in the paragraph, the article is mainly concerned with new information provided by genetic research.

all bears are descendent from dogs. so if the panda shares an 80% similarity with dogs this would counter the argument that pandas are descendent or closely related to raccoons. admitted, dogs and raccoons share a distant common ancestor as well.

lol I told you that I can’t help being a smart-ass. I agree with your view of the characters, but I was being much more simplistic. I wasn’t looking at innocence vs. worldliness or brawn vs. brains… but more like chaos vs. order or impulse vs. contemplation… and primate vs. primate.

So definitely not a marsupial… as was taught to me when I was in junior high. It has no pouch, so that would support the genetic data.

Word Request: SHAG

And why does it mean [THIS] in USA, but …uh …something else entirely in UK?

not available in my country. :/

I must admit that my first impression of your description of web, spider, and “ecstasy” of venom gave me an image of an opium den, with its clouds of smoke like webs reaching all and binding them to their slavish euphoric addiction.

It is also a type of carpet… which is slang for something entirely related to the UK understanding.

It looks something like THIS.

lol Keep her away from Bonaduce! :mrgreen:

A quote for consideration “Wounds are eyes” .. don’t know where it comes from though. (Nor does Google throw it up – i’m not sure where i saw it – maybe i got the wording wrong.) .. anyway .. the idea is: you see the world through your wounds (those parts of your character which are most sensitive).

what’s a “Bonaduce”?

i don’t think they should keep [lions in zoos]. There isn’t enough room for their own personal space.

Hey Marina. My favorite animal is the Cheetah.

[snails are cuddly too]

Hi HFW- The presidential campaigns must be fertile ground for you, but I submit this curiousity from the boys: “….In my wheelhouse….,” “In this wheelhouse….,” “In their wheelhouse….” etc. What do they mean by “Wheelhouse”?? I’ve heard it several times from both candidates? Please enlighten?!!?!!!!

Hot damn! I learned something again!

I love animals. To pick a favortie would not only be difficult, but would upset my cats.

Hi HFW!
the word I have is Ensign from the Navy thing.
Im not sure on the definition of it really but I hear and see it alot.

Hey Marina! Are you aware of this ink you got in the NYTimes?

He’s Danny Bonaduce, a former cast-mate of the tanned girl in question… from the TV show The Partridge Family… a red-headed actor and radio personality. He’s the one that Marina has competed with for the IPhone. Danny has had… a colorful career. Do a search for him on Wiki, and a search on one of his shows Breaking Bonaduce.

I was pronouncing it incorrectly,I’m just a product of My environment :shock: :smile:

May I most respectfully REQUEST; “SHIFTY/SHIFTLESS”.

I was thinking of adding “shithead” also but decided to leave the above as a serious request. :lol: :roll:

Cool pic :grin:

Hey Teacher!
What is the real meaning of AGAPE. And what is the origin of Hebrew languages?

Congratulations on 300 videos Marina!! Time sure flies when you’re having fun. I remember when you did your first video, which seems like it was yesterday.

Favorite zoo animal is the Bald Eagle; sharp eyes, soaring on eagle’s wings.

I noticed that your intro included a picture of the Bronx Zoo. Been to that zoo many times and the Central Park Zoo when I lived in Manhattan.

aha! .. quintessence! .. that was interesting.

(good ol’ pythagoras .. and Marina, of course)

I’m going to draw the line here. I may not appreciate the “pimping”, agree with the opinion of the poster, or like the site in question, but I’m not going to antagonize someone who’s done me no harm. This borders on bullying… in my opinion… no offense intended.

that was a very good vid .. one of the best .. i esp liked the end part.

wow, pedantickarl .. were you there to pick up on M’s first video?

Yes, Marina is aware of it as she posted the link to the article on this HFW site under the PRESS link up at the top. Click on the Press link at the top, then scroll down, then click Older Entries until you see New York Times “Sexicon”.

Also, take note that I left a comment on that NY Times article in July and BillyB left one in March.

I t doesn’t surprise me that a lady journalist made a point of associating HotForWords with porn. Ah, vanity…

Thanks – just got back from there :-) I stumbled on the article at nytimes, noted the date, thought she was prolly aware, but hadn’t seen it in the press section, till I just now went back far enough to find it :-) She looked absolutely stunning in her first interview (Fox Network, ‘happy hour’, ‘Bull/Bear Market’). Seeing some of her early stuff again makes me proud of her for her achievements & development/evolution into the phenomenon that she is today.

Yup. Been following all of Marina’s videos from day one. This HFW site didn’t exist back then. The domain did and when you entered the domain, it went to the YT profile page. This is one of the best managed and best run sites thanks to Marina’s technical interests and capabilities.

….this is why I love Lions the most! Have you ever really looked into one of them, held its gaze for a while? Even though sadly but thankfully safe from harm in a Zoo, I sware you can see your own soul…..amazing, beautiful but scared the crap out of me. Even more beautiful, even more scared is when in one of HFWs vids, right at the end, Marina is playing pac-man. So all good, things are looking peachy when suddenly, pac-man changes to this freakish face with M screaming. My crunchy nut corn flakes covered the room. I ran hopping over the furniture legging it out side! Resulted in me looking a bit like Scooby Doo shaking :lol: After a little bit, took a deap breath, compossed, chest out to make myself look big and mean, got back to, well, cleaning the room!! But hey, at least I can admit that with pride! :grin:

Even the King knows his place! :smile:

I say, let the French continue to eat them! Goes against my buddist ideals but just so slimey…..

There are no links on the Youtube statics where there are normally 5 – is this something that needs to be addressed? I dropped a note in the website issues section that Marina would be aware of it. is there anything else you or I could or should do?

Damn, Karl! You let her have it with both barrels! :mrgreen:

Your response reminds me of my History courses in college.
What was the capitol of Poland until the end of the 16th century? Krakow! Krakow! Two direct hits!

I read your comment on Sexicon, as well as BillyB’s… I’m going back in to read some more. This looks like fun.

In Holland, Tabacco is called Shag…….have requested this in the past also. Shag pile carpet, smokes, dancing even some nooky. A good one to know for those who travel the world……otherwise, learn the hard way :lol:

Pun intended, matalexwolf? :mrgreen:

Did you mean *Statistics* on YT?

You are probably referring to the section under the YT video entitled “Sites linking to this video”. Nothing to worry about until maybe tomorrow. Those links most probably will appear when YT refreshes that section. Most of YT stuff is not live (immediate). YT captures all of the information and updates / refreshes statistics and other data periodically several times a day.

..Durex down under, Australia, means what we brits call selotape(sticky tape), not a form of contraception as we know it :???:

…..Virginia Heffernan was just hired to be the new critic for Avant Guard Magazine

{having read the whole thing as well as [both] your posts}

Thanks for chiming in on Marina’s behalf. I tried to look up more info on the author, such as a bio or other info to try to figure out where she was coming from, but came up empty, and is not worth further effort. I didn’t read it before I made my initial posts, just reported its presence as soon as I found it. Thanks for saying what I am pretty much too annoyed with the author to say right now. Perhaps I’ll formulate something in the future for Ms. Heffernan’s ‘IN’ box. :mad:

Yes – hurried typo – :oops: and thanks for the info.

Sauteed, traditionally in loads of butter, they are much like black shrimp in texture, like hearty mushrooms in taste – haven’t had any in years. :smile:

Congratulations Marina!!!!! :cool:
Great 300th video! :grin:
Homework: I like the reptiles the best especially the snakes!
It’s so cool to be close to a poisonous critter without getting bit!

you came up empty? huh?

Hi Fianchetto, I researched the NYT author as well before commenting and I found this back in July.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia_Heffernan

I’m not sure if you know about Marina’s entry in wiki.
That wiki also has a link to that NYT article under references.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marina_Orlova

I see. 1st “Hazard” applies. :grin:

That’s what led me to the article, I only searche the nytimes for Ms. Heffernan, not the whole web. Thanks!

what are you talking about?

He’s implying jealousy on the part of the journalist… In the graphic – Hazard #1: Turns green [from envy] when placed alongside a superior specimen.

Could you do a video on the word anime?

I was wondering what the origins were behind the word: benchmark.
It could be pretty interesting

:wink:

oh yeh .. tobacco, or some variant, is called “shag” here in UK too.

lookin’ foolish is the price to pay for havin’ fun. :lol:

if you’re practically one with HFW, how come you don’t have the privilege of a dotted line round your posts like those suckup-to-Marina members have? {ducks to avoid glance from alex}

I have to agree with you robertrun. If for entertainment value only it is a very sad thing. All animals have the five sences, even a sixth when you think about it, just like us humans! But Zoos are also there to help save and protect more endangered species. The National Geographic CH enables us all to see it with out leaving the comfort of your home. Just don’t get me started on how most of us 6.7billion humans are in conume consume consume mode in the name of vanity at the expence of the helpless animals and species……as with anyone who throws litter :evil: – / Take the Amazon for example, I watched this documenrty recently highlighting the poor locals starting the process of making cocaine. For $900 they can purchase the coco leaf as with the awful chemicals such as Chlorine, Arsnic plus many more required to make into a base which is then taken away thus refined into the white powder. The locals make $80 profit over four days effort risking four years in jail. They put the remains of the chemicals BACK into the Amazon!!! right on their own door step harming everything and themselves, effecting all of us. All to provide a few top dog geezer types pots of cash whilst giving the end user an artificial high (oh look at me, yes me, I am GOD!), paranoia, the smallest of weeners that fire on one cylinder after time (YO! Maggot man, got any more of that snow, my ego is low due to my weener being so small, need that lift!), Plus, can also lead to Parkinsons, atractive, way to go!!! What a f***** super star….but if its a fasion thing shared with a blissful ignorance or for some kind of emotional release, causing environmental damage as well as social dysfunkions, well then I guess thats all okay. Personally, I am high on life having been given a second chance at it. Made me realise el natural is the greatest buzz in the world (bar a couple of ales from time to time, but that can be to calm it down a bit!)…../ wooah, so maybe Zoos are a good thing in our current human climet because they aren’t going to be around for too much longer in their natural world. Which as said before, is a terribly sad thing….sniff!
….I feel better for that :smile:

My favorite animal at the zoo?

That would surely have to be the Marina animal :wink:

+ lol .. yeh .. that’s hilarious .. reminds me of my encounter with an earwig (wot i fell in love with, but startled me by suddenly charging at me)

i think i may be infatuated with Marina!! .. i’m going to see if i can go a whole day without referring to Marina directly or indirectly – here in the HFW threads .. and gulp … here in my head!

Cats :mrgreen: I also like roflcats (check out roflcat.com :grin:

A huge congratz for marina for reaching her 300th video. It felt like yesterday for when she had done 200 videos.

Keep up the awesome work!! :D

:mrgreen: Good Luck!!! :cool:

by the way, that fucking anchor of yours ought to be pointing downwards, shouldn’t it.

lol .. yeh .. i thought you’d need an extra little push in the right direction.

:)

that ain’t no skateboard.

Word Request Wet Dream

it’s not an anchor – it’s a stonking great hardon .. and yes .. how did you know right now it should be pointing downwards?

well .. land yacht .. or whatever it is. :oops:

yeah, if it’s a stinking great hard-on then it should be pointing upwards. but since it’s an anchor, it shouldn’t.

erm … stonking*

…has anyone ever seen a Chupacabra before? A vampire thing……

it’s a surfboard.

lol yeah.
legend lol.

shaddap!!

ha! .. dint work anyway .. i have no idea what you’re talking about!

….’it was dark, I was alone, it was raining….so much rain….’

then I awoke! :smile:

aye, lad : “stonking” …

… plus yes .. the stonking erection should be pointing upwards, cept right at the moment that ain’t appropriate.

well .. good thing you pointed that out, otherwise it wouldn’t make any sense.

…sure in the jungles of Mexico, chupa = suck, cabra = goat so what ya got is a goat sucker

:grin:

are they for real or a bit like bigfoot? wiki has confused the issue, first claims started in 1994….but no hard evidence!

you should ask mijj about “hard” evidence.

In reality the Blood Sucking Bats are real, they will suck the blood from a man while he sleeps. The Chupacapra is more urban legend or jungle legend

things are looking up for him, all that blood rushing from his brain to his loins…..

:cool:

Request a word.

“Heteronym” which in itself is a Homograph.

Words such as wind, wound, close and bow. I know of 50 more words like that. Why?

Thanks.

In Texas the Chupacabra is a polarizing issue… either you believe it is absolutely true (along with Santa, the Easter Bunny, and free lunches) or you believe it is a total joke… but use it to scare children into behaving (like La Llorona or Lindsay Lohan). There is no middle ground.

Those words were created so we could identify the Aliens who live amongst us :grin:

LOL… idiot. Reminds me of me about 30 years ago.

Youth is wasted on the young… :mrgreen:

..so wont be getting to see one in the Zoo then? Thought it was all a bit to good to be true, but for a moment there, I did believe :grin:

I have theme music for your Quest, Mijj. hehe :mrgreen:

i mean .. what on earth did he imagine was going to happen if he didn’t screw up?

lol .. the “impossible dream”

… well .. it just so happens i just finished the music for number 7 .. and that may be appropriate.

Marina,
do you know why, in US English, we put “.” after Dr, Mrs, Mr? When we shorten “government,” we write “gov’t”… The Oakland Athletics call them selves the “A’s,” a result of taking out everything in between the A and the S. Why isn’t “doctor” shortened to “D’r”? and why don’t the British use any punctuation at all for these words?
Thanks!

Marina,
You haven’t done any trademarks words lately, I would like to suggest the word nokia, mostly because it comes from a language usually not explored and now is very common, and to bring back a trademark word.
Thanks

Fianchetto… I have found the ultimate, or dare I say the quintessential schmaltzy over-the-top romantic dedication to Marina… however, it really is a sweet song… so unless done with respect it will come off as uber-creepy, or, worse, mocking. What to do, what to do…

I’m not suddenly going to be saying this word as “zo-ology” – and I’m not going to say “forte” as “fort” either. I’d rather change the spelling to “zooology” than alter how I say it.

Nick

Oh nonono… don’t want to see that at all. Seen too much of stuff like that in my life. tragic… stupid…

hey, you’re the one apparently getting downward erections from watching m.’s videos.

Congrats on 300 :!:
For my homework: I love the big cats, especially the Siberian Tigers. I definately knew how to pronounce zoology. I took invertebrate zoology my sophomore year in college and made my only F. Comparing and contrasting 300 worms :???: They all just looked like worms to me.

Er – well – I’m not expert on this stuff, but I think “Dr.” is an abbreviation and should have the period – and I think “Dr.” with the period is correct British punctuation – but I guess a lot of people are either lazy or simply don’t know.

But you’re right about “D’r”. Logically that could be correct – people just don’t do it.

Nick

i want to know about the word HOOLIGAN :)

Mijj, are these comments getting you bent out of shape?

Used a surfboard once, alooong time ago, on the side of a slate mountain in Wales. All good fun exept at the end as lost control smashing into my fathers car parked at the bottom :oops: well hurt. – what a surfboard in Wales was doing there at the time I will never know, had a bit of explaining to do. Many jobs around the house were to be done as a result……

I love that song… grew up with it, I did.

Hola. Thanks for your videos, I learn very interesting things with you. In a way I can easily remember. Etymology is even more pleasant now.

Would you please explain the origine of the word ‘bombastic’? I have always been curious about it.

Thanks again.

Punctuaction conventions have changed to improve readability.

Consider the case of author names in scientific citations.

For example

“Smithers, G. E.; Farnsworth, H. A. and Cavali-Smith, L. A. R.”

in the “puncutationally progressive” journals would be

“Smithers GE, Farnsworth HA, Cavali-Smith LAR.”

I think you would agree that the latter is more readable.

Hang on.. Are you implying Marina has had sex with 300 guys!! GET OFF THIS WEBSITE FOR SUGGESTING SUCH MALICIOUS SHITE!

lolz

well .. if you know, then that means you avoided the killing and the drinking of blood.

… though, judging by the videos you make, you didn’t manage to avoid the brain leakage. :)

you must spill all the details!

Now that it’s dark here in Europe, it’s time to honour of Marina’s 300th video; let the show begin. :smile:

I wouldn’t touch that comment, even if I had a 10′ pole… :mrgreen:

noo … no no no .. you misunderstand ..

.. it’s probably sex with thousands by now .. i’m only mentioning the story about the HFW videos … not her extra-curricular activities.

The orignal story was she’d drain at least 3 students at a time and throw away their useless husks when she’d finished with them. .. i thoght id’ tone it down so she-who-must-be-obeyed wouldn’t be lynched.

Well it aint true. But, Marina can discard of my empty husk anyday she likes :wink:

Word Request
Lazy Susan
Check out my new video it shows a Lazy Susan! :cool:

Miss M. has anyone made fun of the the way “clicks” came out in your Statistics On You Tube Post. I looks more like d**k than click. I thought you had a typo at first until I copied and pasted it to this comment and see that it is click. :lol:

Now, the Statistics & Data tab shows honors for the video (updated pretty close to real-time) and if you scroll down, “Sites linking to the video” shows websites that embed my video (like mine), and how many times someone clicks within that video and gets taken to YouTube. It only counts those “clicks”, but gives you a general idea of what sites are embedding a video. It only shows the top 5 I think, and it takes a little while to update as well.

I would like to learn where the word “teetotaler” comes from. We all know that it refers to a person who sips their alcoholic beverage very slowly to the point where it gets warm and looses its taste, but was does alcohol have to do with tea or totals?

I have another expression to request, wheredid the term “six was to Sunday” as in “I am going to beat you six ways to Sunday” come from? Does it have something to do with the fact that there are 7 days in a week?

Hi Capman :!: Have you ever watched videos on Atom Films?
They have ALOT of Star Wars spoofs! Here’s one of my very favorites! Check it out!

Hmm…it’s a tie between the bears and the penguins. But, were I to ever take up a conversationalist position, it’d be Ursine Conservation, so, we’ll say bears.

WORD REQUEST: Here’s a simple one. Hot. Simple, yet socially powerful, word, if I do say so myself.

Yep, “Zo” as in Zoe. “aNEMone” is also commonly mispronounced, if you want to be a purist.

what pain in the ass Marina you win
Best wishes :cool:

“Marriage”

As I’m sure you already know, there is a proposition in California about the definition of marriage and whether it should include homosexual relationships. Where did the word marriage come from? and could that help us out in deciding whether it should include homosexual relationships?

I just watched it and added it to my favorites list. Thanks for the url on the spoofs. :smile:

Your welcome! :cool:

Yep Che Volay that is on fugly ucker. :lol:

REQUEST A WORD:

In my quest for completing my “Family Tree”, I have ran into many unusual words. Marina, (my beautiful teacher), please help me out.

I believe I have found the meanings, but would like to know more about their origins. (Homework for the teacher).

Demesne
Feoffment
Gredyron
Messuage
Moiety
Skomar
Tithingman
Virginalls

well.. :oops: .. that completely fucked up a beautiful moment, didn’t it.

Marina, where does the expression ‘dead cat bounce’ that is used to describe a large rise following a large drop on the stock market come from?

Cheers,

huh! is much like your other vids but goes on for longer….will check out the one below :grin:

i guess the lesson is .. don’t forget the “http:\\” off the start of the url.

Hey Fianchetto, nothing back on the request yet. I will let you know as soon as I know something. :neutral:

mijj mate, I have done endless IQ tests of late and keep scoreing way above average on spatial awareness and people skills. So WTF is that and WTF are you going to do about it :grin:

I would like to request the phrase: “There you go.”
Great show. Keep it up.

Now that Marina explained zoology, here is another lesson:

In 1986, Peter Davies was on holiday in Kenya after graduating from Northwestern University .
On a hike through the bush, he came across a young bull elephant standing with one leg raised in the air. The elephant seemed distressed, so Peter approached it very carefully.
He got down on one knee, inspected the elephant’s foot, and found a large piece of wood deeply embedded in it. As carefully and as gently as he could, Peter worked the wood out with his knife, after which the elephant gingerly put down its foot. The elephant turned to face the man, and with a rather curious look on its face, stared at him for several tense moments. Peter stood frozen, thinking of nothing else but being trampled. Eventually the elephant trumpeted loudly, turned, and walked away. Peter never forgot that elephant or the events of that day.
Twenty years later, Peter was walking through the Chicago Zoo with his teenaged son. As they approached the elephant enclosure, one of the creatures turned and walked over to near where Peter and his son Cameron were standing. The large bull elephant stared at Peter, lifted its front foot off the ground, then put it down.. The elephant did that several times then trumpeted loudly, all the while staring at the man.
Remembering the encounter in 1986, Peter could not help wondering if this was the same elephant. Peter summoned up his courage, climbed over the railing, and made his way into the enclosure. He walked right up to the elephant and stared back in wonder. The elephant trumpeted again, wrapped its trunk around one of Peter legs and slammed him against the railing, killing him instantly.
Probably wasn’t the same elephant.

Just another animal joke:

THE COWBOY WHISPERER

Cowboy: ‘That your dog?’

Indian: ‘Yep.’

Cowboy: ‘Mind if I speak to him?’

Indian: ‘Dog no talk.’

Cowboy: ‘Hey dog, how’s it going?’

Dog: ‘Doin’ all right.’

Indian: (Look of shock!)

Cowboy: ‘Is this Indian your owner?’ (Pointing at the Indian…)

Dog: ‘Yep.’

Cowboy: ‘How’s he treating you?’

Dog: ‘Real good. He walks me twice a day, feeds me great food and takes me to the lake once a week to play.’

Indian: (Look of total disbelief)

Cowboy: ‘Mind if I talk to your horse?’

Indian: ‘Horse no talk.’

Cowboy: ‘Hey horse, how’s it going?’

Horse: ‘Cool.’

Indian: (Extreme look of shock!)

Cowboy: ‘Is this your owner?’ (Pointing to the Indian…)

Horse: ‘Yep.’

Cowboy: ‘How’s he treating you?’

Horse: ‘Pretty good, thanks for asking, he rides me, brushes me down often and keeps me in a lean-to to protect me from the weather.’

Indian: (Look of total amazement)

Cowboy: ‘Mind if I talk to your sheep?’

Indian: ‘Sheep lie.’

don’t know :sad:

:lol:

I use to like cats and dogs, but honestly… I don’t care much for animals anymore. :neutral:

aww, sorry mijj, didnt mean to have a go….put on ‘ tu kettle lad ‘ave a nice cuppa tea – so what was it and what you going to do about it :lol: — come on mijj, I know you can do it…..easy now…..thats it mate….easy….go on……almost……..go for it….thata boy mijj :roll: :grin:

:idea: Here’s another word people often mispronounce: CULINARY

People often pronounce it like (CULL)-inary, when I’ve heard that technically it has more of a “Q” sound to it, like (Q)-linary.

:lol: – there’s a moral in that!

“huh! is much like your other vids but goes on for longer….will check out the one below”

hey … that’s not supposed .. d’oh! … oh!, you!! :lol:

:lol: there is another moral in this story!

huh? :shock: dare I ask why?

snit – now there’s a lovely word

I don’t know, I guess animals aren’t really on my mind at this point in my life.

Bob, have been waiting for someone and nothing as yet. 10-1 on matey… :grin:

thats cool….thinking maybe you should change your name then maybe, animalntaz, just a thought mind :???: :grin:

Marina Dear my parents, Mother and Father, own the house of the 666 on the city block on 61 st, this is what you get for being a head hunter for gene messer dealership in Lubbock Texas. May They go down in Flames!!!

Signed the Deere King

Sick … but hilarious. :lol:

No, there’s an immoral in that story. :lol:

That is a good point.

It would be useful for those that extract information from electronic databases and web sources to have systems to identify the use of initials from other short text strings.

The MEDLINE database at the National Library of Medicine (accessed through PubMed) uses the “minimal punctuation” format when displaying citations. But it also has “fields” or “metadata” that can be accessed to identify the type of terms used (for example the AU field for authors).

Interestingly, I have never seen the mention of an authors qualifications or degree title in a Medline record and it is not common to see titles stated in print versions of scientific publications either.

But you are absolutly right that short text strings can lead to confusion and perhaps old fashioned punctuation would have helped resolve some of that – although I don’t think the NLM will change their author citation policy!

Hmmm…methinks I should stick to my original obscure words then :( I posted them in previous lessons, however I am just a simple internet browser with simple word requests :) Sorry.

:cool: :grin:

Serval (or and any other cats (or reptiles))

Hi Marina!

I guess my previous request got buried in all the other word responses! :grin: Well, I came across a few words that I hope you find interesting and would perhaps consider doing a post about!

1. Geronimo – Why do sky divers or paratroopers sometimes shout
“Geranimo!” before they jump out of a plane? what does it mean? :lol:

2. Carte Blanche – what does this word mean?

3. catch-22 – what is a catch 22?

4. John Doe & Jane Doe – How and why do people call someone who’s
identity is unknown man a “john Doe” or a “Jane Doe” when its a woman?

Marina. could you Please look into at least a few of them? :lol:

Thanks Again!

Thanks again dezdkado! I do hope Marina would consider a few of these words!

hahahaha I liked that :lol:

The bears are my favorites, including the mighty Russian brown bear with it’s magnificent coat, and the Panda (which isn’t really a bear but close enough for me). Since bears have coats, why do they call them bear?

Buzzword found this article:

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/environment/article4933435.ece

It concerns the nature of Pandas. You may find it interesting.

Possibly closer to black bears than to raccoons? That is very satisfying, even though I hold no animosity towards raccoons in the slightest. I had to box up a sick raccoon in my backyard, in the redwood forest of Santa Cruz, and take him to the animal shelter.
I named him after the name on the box (the box held a toilet that I had to replace), “Norbit”. The lady didn’t like that name, however, and called him “Rocky” instead. I thought “Norbit” was a better name and told her so, but she would have no part of it.

Or (CUE)-linarny, as in cue ball, if you prefer….. same sound. :roll:

…как сейчас помню свои уроки русского языка 4-го, 5-го, и 6-го, классов , когда наша учительница делала тоже самое для нас. Спасибо Вам мои учителя! (((что мы не выросли пиндосами)))

К стати она была тоже красива и молода.

З.Ы. So pindosas take the shoot under the weist.
