gr.Zubbzirro

Homework: Do I use the word ‘Meh’? Nope. Don’t plan on ever using it. It’s a fad word that will die soon. The closes word that I use to say the same thing is ‘Naw’.

[The comments I will state below are not intended for sensitive reader of the word 'Ni'. Discretion is advised!]

I prefer the word ‘Ni’ as in the knight that say Ni. I have heard of such greatly feared knights that say Ni. The Knights are led by a man who is approximately 12 feet tall with disproportionately short arms and reindeer antlers inserted into his helmet. “Ni!” is only the most notable of the sacred words which they are assigned to protect; the others being “Peng” and “Neee-wom”. All of these words are infamous for the palpable horror and fear they bring about, whether delivered by the Knights or not. According to King Arthur, “Those who hear them seldom live to tell the tale!”
The Knights have a weakness in that a number of words, when spoken to them, cause them pain and agony. The only one of these words that is revealed in the film is the word “it”. This apparently contradicts the earlier conversation, in which “it” is said, yet the Knights do not appear to be affected.
Well that’s all that needs to be said. I must go out and get yet, another shrubbery. Oh wait, I think I was to get two shrubberies. Oh my my… Me shall not mess this up or the king will send the vicious Rabbit of Caerbannog upon me head.
:shock:

I don’t really use meh much. However I do enjoy lots of huggles with my fiance, Joy.

Eric M

I agree. Ni is great. (Especially if you can get a shrubbery using of it.) :grin:

Good morning Marina,
See if you know what this means:-

Meh Z totes,
N doe Z totes,
N litter lam zeet IV
A kiddle E Thai V2,
Wooden shoe?

{Hint – It’s a childs’ nursery rhyme}
Word request Why are wooden shoes called “Clogs”?
I don’t use “Meh” but I do use “Meeeah” (Same sound but long and drawn out, starting on a middle tone, going up a couple of notes and finally falling to one note lower than where it started.) It comes from the Thai language and is an interjection of surprise or indignation, for example, “Meeeah, how did you manage to do that?” or “Meeeah, did you eat the last of the ice cream?”

Meh – something a caveman would say

you get pull over by the cops and the cop ask you if you have any drugs,

you reply, meh

cop says, What you got meth?

You just gave probable cause for a search :shock:

nope, never used it…i’m meh ’bout meh…

btw, my son & i saw the new Bond movie; we liked it. so we parry your meh with a woohoo!… :cool:

Hey Bob, I’ve got two nice links for the Meh Z totes…
Now you got me singing that thing all night long… hm, hm, hm, hmmmmm, owwwww, hmmm, hmmmm…. :grin:
Let me know if it is OK to post them.

I liked the new bond movie as well.
:grin:

i used it most recently when someone asked what santy is getting me for xmas.

‘MEH. santy is getting me nothing.’ i replied.

:mrgreen:

can cupcake has a calender from santy?
i like your lilac dress marina :grin:

i wanna know the origin of fetch. cos me and some others were discussing it on a previous lesson.

wow my english is bad.

I would like to request the origin of the word, ‘fetch’, as some other pupils and I were discussing it earlier.

hehehehehehehehehehehehehe

no but really, because it can be used as in ‘FETCH ME SOME CUPCAKES’

or, marina looks very FETCHing in that lilac dress.

or, marina and cupcake meeting one day if cupcake goes to america on tour? that is not so far fetched.

:cool:

or as lacey chabert’s character in the movie ‘mean girls’ says:

‘that is so FETCH’

meaning cool, likeable, popular. etc.

marina is fetch.

i shouldbe in bed but i wanted to procrastinate a bit hehehe :mrgreen:

gnite !!!

PS i also want to request tick, because tick is a verb as in, when you grade someones work and it is correct, you give it a tick. and tick is also a parasite that tried tokill my cat didi.

AND on twitter, captainjack and i wanted to request the story behind why we say cats have 9 lives. :mrgreen:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Order-cuckoldry-ca1815-French-satire.jpg

i recently saw a movie called “killer nurse” bei trash-director and -writer ulli lommel and it really was quite meh…

maybe there is also a connection to the verb tickle?

Use the word meh…? Shah! right! and monkeys might fly out my butt!

Good morning Klaus,
Why don’t we wait to see if anyone can figure it out first, and then post your links this afternoon/evening before the new video comes out. :smile:

OK Bob, I’ll wait. Still humming, hmmm, hmmmm, dang that song is addictive. As soon as I saw the letters I knew what it was. It’s like that test where you jumble up the letters in a word, but you can still make out what it says.

cats have 9 Lives ’cause Friskies doesn’t taste good to ‘em… and isn’t it good to know that the people that make 9 Lives can veggies & fruits for us?… :cool:

Marina, glad that this page has ads. I was starting to get worried. I’m clicking extra hard to make up for the two lost other pages. I wonder how that one ad knew I needed to lose some extra pounds. :grin:

Loved the lesson and the hot for jingles lady walking across the screen. :grin:

I prefer the tried and true staring as if whoever just said _____ ( whatever – just incredibly stupid ) as if a second head just sprouted. Second choice; looking around for the other person that they MUST have been talking to ( are you talking to ME? ).

I use the word when i need to communicate with the goats on my granddads farm.
Thats more often than i would like to admit :roll:
Servas

Hi Marina!

Truthfully, I don’t use “meh” but am happy to learn about it. I like the evolution of language with the absorbing of new words and modifying the old. I agree about the new Bond movie which I was so excited about. Oh well. A bad title doesn’t bode well. Speaking of titles WHAT’S THE SCOOP WITH YOUR NEW BOOK? TITLE? TOPIC? A BOOK TOUR?

I can’t wait! Q :grin:

Whether you think that you can, or that you can’t, you are usually right.” – Henry Ford 1863-1947

Old man Ford was quite a character he let his grandson (whom had been made president of Ford Motor Co.) build a coke processing plant( for steel processing) then he had the workmen tear it down just to show his grandson He was still the boss(?)

I hardly ever use “Meh” however most people are rarely ever able to realize their speech habits until they record thier voice in conversation or as Marina does in her video’s and listens to themselves. I don’t think most people ever try to make over their speech patterns unless its for public display in making a good impression of themselves upon others.

p.s. More on strange titles. I try to see every movie with Philip Seymour Hoffman (one of my faves) and his latest is Synecdoche. I can’t even pronounce it! So what’s it mean anyway? Would HFW investigate?

Thanks, Q :grin:

Marina are you pulling an Eliza Doolittle? (My Fair Lady) Thats better than pulling a “train” depending on a persons “point of view” on/of life, love, and the hereafter/afterlife.

Homework :cool:
I have never even heard of the word meh. I’m glad that Gorby is getting better! :grin: In your Twitpic it’s hard to find the little guy in the drapes, he really blends!
http://twitpic.com/pb8f

Hi there…the word I’d like to request is “discombobulate” Always wondered because there is no root word combobulate lol

No, I do not use “meh.” I am more the roll my eyes type. Sarcasm is my second language. Ya think? :roll:

Got up in the middle of the night to pee
read your ditty, nothing clicked.
after early tea & first breakfast
the light bulb went off in my head :idea:
very punny Bob :lol:

my friend said “meh” to me when the company she was working at went bankrupt and had nothing to do.

I have absolutely no clue. While you wait, perhaps you would like to see if you can read Redneck:

MR Ducks
AR Not
OSAR CMWangs
OICM Wangs LIB Ducks

Does M benefit from my ad-clicking? Is it a $ thang, a rating thang…? Inquiring minds need to know.

Also tick is a verb to say ‘make me angry’
“Don’t tick me off ”
The meter maid put a parking ticket on my car and it ticked me off.

not used everywhere in the USA

The Wife is the absolute Bond expert. Her opinion of the last movie was not even a ‘meh. Mixed company prohibits me from repeating what she had to say, but she was sorely disappointed. :cry:

I would like to request a word for M’s next appearance with BO. I think “propaganda” would be very appropriate. :twisted:

HF was quite a character. A benevolent employer and pacifist, yet had a questionable relationship with Hitler. Hmm… :???:

It’s $ and ¢ and a few £ and Â¥ and € thrown in.
Marina talked about it many moons ago. There is server cost, bandwidth etc. It’s Marina’s intention to keep the site free, so I believe in supporting the ads that support our terrific teacher.

If M does not do this word, will it tick you off?

:lol:
In the restaurant.

It’s a duck

OG U R MUC(ing…)

Very funny. From the duck, I went to Your nuts. Limey humor… :roll:

Slang Request: To keep with this lesson’s theme, where did the slang term ‘tarnation’ come from? Thanks Marina!

Eric M

What happened to the outtakes at the end of the videos? Did you perfect your craft so much there’s no more mistakes? It’s to the point where a little self-deprecating humor at the end when missing is… meh.

Q. How did he know it was a duck in the above sketch?
A. By the sound it made. Meh-meh-meh :lol:

now is the time for A Fifth of Beethoven

This woman, with a pair of swords, is absolutely not “meh”.

She dances with sabers like there is no tomorrow, beautifully crafting each single move. Her execution is perfect. Almost divine. She can hypnotyze her public. She’s the quintessential dancer.

Hey Bob if you see your neighbors shutting off the light early this new statistic explains it:

The Scots were most amorous with 43% choosing sex over other pastimes, compared with 35% in South England.

Full article here

I don’t use the word meh, but I have a friend, who is a Simpsons fanatic, who uses it often. Another word Homer uses, which I use sometimes is “doh”. Is this a real word? If it is, what does it mean?

Homework: First I heard of it was this video.
I don’t have any plans to use it, either. :mrgreen:

Has anybody heard anything about Gorby?

:mrgreen: Hey! Don’t trash the latest Bond movie! I loved it. I’ll be watching it again and again. The Bond genre rocks! Long live all the Bond movies made and the ones yet to be made!!!

“I hope I die young
and I don’t die gay,
I hope I die senile”
The Police – Masako Tango

:mrgreen: The latest Bond movie is more of a guy thing. I really enjoyed it. Most females who saw it did not like it. Go figure!

Ditto! This is the James Bond that
Ian Fleming wrote about, not the
flaming pretenders proffered up to
us in movies for so many years. :mrgreen:

Sorry. I have an ad blocker. But when I use opera I always make sure I click the ads.

:mrgreen: I hope I don’t die at all. Maybe I could find friends like Rose Tyler and Doctor Who. Then,the adventures would really begin!

:mrgreen: Is a Gorby anything like a Doobie? LOL!

:mrgreen: I hear it is even better than “A Fourth Of Beethoven”! LOL!!!!

Marina’s ass for you :mrgreen:

How ’bout a Fifth of Jack! to go with that Fifth of Beethoven:lol:

I’ll take the fifth your honor

RC1 do you, as a Canadian understand what taking the 5th is :???:

This is the first I heard of this word…Meh… so I haven’t used it. Now that I have discovered it… I will understand someone who uses it.
The likelihood of me using the word is very low to nil.

Get up
get out of bed
you lazy head

make sure your little dogie gets some exercise as well

I’d like to HUGGLE you Marina. Sounds fun…

I smell a restraining order comming my way. :neutral:

I knew there was a Doctor who fan on here somewhere.

Stokes why have you posted the top part at least twice?

The 5th has something to do with due process when accused of a crime, gov’t can’t arbitrarily take your property, (and a few other things.)

In Canada, we have what’s called a Charter of Rights and Freedoms that is similar.

Oh yah, you cannot be forced to answer a question that incriminates yourself!!!

hey marina.. i would to know where the origin of the word ‘jug’ came from.. cheers..!

(email address removed)

RB how did you do that?

“Meh”? It sounds like something you’d hear from a cold sufferer. The latest Bond movie a disappointment? Let me recommend a movie you might like, Marina, and it’s, “Kicked in the Head” It’s one of my favorites. It has booze, drugs, shoot outs, mobs (including a Russian mobster), love interests, family values, the theory of love, the pros & cons of capitalism, cosmic meaning, and a lovable little doggy all in one flick.

what do you mean:?:

I have to say that this phenomenon is well known to me and I call the long, cold, dark evening effect. As you go further north you see this effect more and more pronounced.
I was once carrying census boxes to outlying communities in Greenland. Away from the main routes, the appearance of a helicopter was a huge attraction and we would be surrounded by hundreds of kids as soon as we landed. The last stop of the day was an isolated hunters hut way out in the boondocks where we expected to see only a couple of hunters, but it turned out that it was occupied by one hunter and his wife … and about twenty five children!

30 mb video processing

i uploaded it 2 hours a go
i uploaded another copy about 20 mins ago and deleted the other one still says the same

WHY IS IT TAKING SO LONG!

The link of the photo with added text

Dear совершенная Marina, No, I never use the word, “meh.” In fact, it sounds like a Chinese word, “myeh”, which in English means “what.” For example, if you said “Я супоросый”, I’d ask, “What!?” :shock:
I didn’t like the new James Bond movie, either. The villains weren’t as menacing and sinister as Goldfinger and Oddjob, and the plot was just linear, with few twists or surprises. Olga Kurylenko is very beautiful and I would “huggle” with her for a very long time! :razz:
I saw Gorby sleeping next to you and I hope he’s better, now.
Your dear student, seesixcm6

Must have been Catholics :mrgreen:

you just use this, and put the link of your photo!

Hi!

What about the word ‘Ginger’ ! ?

:D

-H.

Hi Marina,as a huge Simpson’s fan,I would like to more about Homer’s favorite word and one I use much more than meh.
And I think it also made it into the dictionary years ago :arrow:

D’OH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear Marina! Check this out! Do you like it? But, please, say the truth!

To be is to do
– Socrates
To do is to be
– Jean-Paul Sartre
Do be do be do
– Frank Sinatra

:lol:

hahah! i like him doing d’oh! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khSIYmTzt6U

An angel with a halo. :cool: Well done, russianboy. :smile:

Must have been trying to keep warm… heh

Jakem952 from atlanta, ga and I would like to know what “smartelick” means? I think something to do with being a smart a** but I would like to know the origin and so forth.

thanks. I love your site!

Marina,

I am always curious about my name: FROILAN- What does it means and where did it originated. Thanks very much!

Can you give me an estimate of what your video file size is? I want an hd camera but I dont want to find that a 3 min video is 300mb

Please explain the origins of “Wisdom Tooth” or “Wisdom Teeth”. Does this have anything to do with the idea that that if You’re wise, You’ll take care of them, and still have them when You’re old? Or that if not taken care of, they will rot, and You;ll get an infection in Your brain that cause You to lose Wisdom? Or does Your body store Wisdom in there?

=) Help Help — i MUST KNOW!!

I would really like to know the origin of the word philosophy. My religion teacher said it came from the anciant greek phrase philo sophia which means love of knowledge but i dont really believe him.

love of wisdom

yes, you’d be forced to make very short films… bummer

Mmmmmm yeah,Billie Piper! Yummmy! Get Her now before She blows up like a balloon,Ya just know its gonna happen.

Was that crass and uncaring of Me? Ahhh well,I still think I’m right.

Marina,this is a term heard just one time in a mid-eighties movie.
What can you tell me about it?
“Neo Maxi Zoomdweebie”
Have you heard it?

“meh” sounds like a shortened version of “mmmmm yeah” but said in a lackluster way,not with exuberance,kinda like You said,infers indifferance or even negative feelings.

:mrgreen: Oh,yeah!! I just bought Season(Series)four of Doctor Who on DVD. I don’t have BBC America on my TV so I have to wait for the DVD release. I have watched the first three episodes of this collection and it is awesome!! Catherine Tate is back and the rumor around here is that David Tennant is leaving the show. Doctor Who is a popular show here in the states! Yeah!!!!!

I would like to request the word TATOO

:mrgreen: The only Bond film I didn’t like was the musical comedy parody called “Casino Royale” made many years ago starring David Niven,Woody Allan,and Tom Jones. It was terrible! The Daniel Craig version of “Casino Royale” is a real gem. And “Quantum of Solace” is simply fantastic! Yes!!!

:mrgreen: OK! Here is the word: TATOO. LOL!!!

Marina,are you a neo maxi zoomdweebie?

:mrgreen: Frank Sinatra also said:
“I did it my way!”.

doing :?: :mrgreen:

everybody

is

:cool: How

No degree of the academic unless theres one given in Squirrelly

Right. Here is something for people about what I do with my videos

1 film them on my camera (mp4)

2 use anyvideoconverter to convert them to wmv

3 edit in movie maker

then

what I did

use anyvideoconverter to convert it back to mp4 at 640*480

what I do now

used anyvideoconverter to do 640*360 (or whatever that widescreen resoloution is) but in flv format (cant do custom on mp4 :sad: )

but that made it stretched. So now I am messing around seeing what Quicktime can do for me. I just uploaded a video but the quality was CRAP! I think it was my fault though so I will try it again in a bit.

That goes back to me asking if anyone can guess at what the filesize would be if i filmed 3 mins on an hd camcorder like marina does.

Oh, Marina has it all figured out!! :razz:

here’s a clue. :wink:

:???: :???: urm.. ok then

doesn’t marina just cut of the top and bottom of the screen or something….?

Word request: Buskill… Not sure bout the spelling tho. There has been alot of references to bus(h)kil(l) recently in shows like family guy or dexter. The word is linked to killjoy or a person with no sense of humor, but where buskil derives from? Tnx, im a big fan!

I think so but I cant do that, also she has an hd camera so she can probably get away with it. If I could cut anything off mine I would take half my head off

The dutch “word OF the year” chosen by the biggest dutch dictionary is “zwaffelen” ……that means slappping someone or something with a ….uhh.. :???: kinda hard…. penis….-.- :???:
that’s fucked up isn’t it:P :wink:

“If I could cut anything off mine I would take half my head off”
That’s a good thing …,right? :lol:

It’s gonna be kinda hard to eat waffles after reading that… :???:

Hi casaubon! It’s spelled buzzkill. :cool:

It means “having a crush on Sophie”. :wink:

Or maybe short for, “I’ve had my fill of Sophie!”

They usually come in about age twenty, when one has supposedly attained the age of wisdom; hence the name.

However, if that were true, they’d be pushing through your gums at age 50.

We had a young man working for us named Froylan Martinez, who said it was a family name somewhere among his ancestors.

Sometimes spelled “smart aleck”

It’s Bushkill when it comes to world peace and the economy :!:

And I only have a couple months to read them all. I will miss you folks. :cry:

What is the origin of the word ‘pen’.
Here is a photo of a pen I made for sale.

that looks nice :razz:

You mean THIS??

Call Roger the Shrubber.

Historical riddle:
Essex, Wessex, and Sussex are short for East, West, and South Saxons, respectively.
Why is there no geographic legacy of the North Saxons? :wink:

Wouldn’t you?

But then again, I’m 53 and old enough to remember this.

Y’know…I’d been thinking that there’s an almost mythic quality about Marina — as if she’s a fusion of Athena and Aphrodite — and then she comes up with “Meh!” :sad:

Probably the same place as “hoot & a holler,” “over yonder,” and “moonshine.” :razz:

Propa ganda, as opposed to an ill-mannered goose? :lol:

Meh also know as hathor

“The Mistress of Heaven. A goddess of love, music and beauty…”
But sometimes represented as a cow. James, is that what annoyed you?

Marinas quality is good but this is HD tv stuff

my request word is PARFUM
thanks :smile:

Hey Marina,

I do use the word “meh” on occasion. Although, more often I find some curse word to fill in the gap when I’m at a loss for how I want to describe something; I need to make my conversational skills more interesting.

So you’re publishing a book through Harper Collins? That’s exciting to hear. It says in your biographical information that it’s about fun word origins, but when should we expect to learn more about it? Do you have any sort of general idea as to when it may be published?

Kobe in camouflage. :mrgreen:

Congratulations to Evan Owen for guessing Bob’s riddle. :smile: See Bob’s comment.

Meh Z totes,

Here is the answer in words and singing.
Warning, you may be happily humming this song all day.

Here is a jazzy version.

Ach-meh-d the terrorist

I love this word I tend to use it without OVER using it hehe. Right now i feel Meh cause of my allergies. :smile:

Mistress Of Heaven = Moh :mrgreen:

Exasperation at one’s own stupidity = D’oh!
Seeing Marina in a bikini = Moh!

Hathor? To be Mistress of Heaven she’d need to be some kind of Nut

Marina, what I need to know is if your videos now have more room in them now than they had 2 weeks ago. eg you filmed your bed 2 weeks ago and you uploaded it and all we saw was your bed if you did it today would we see your bed and the table next to it?

Marina,
Where did the term or word two-bits come from? My grandfather used to always say that word when he gave me a quarter.

Albert Nielsen

Reminds me of Ginger Spice. :mrgreen:

Whoah! I don’t even know how I made that image pop on this link instead of a seperate link. :shock:

Think of her less in the role of goddess… it’s so overdone… every girl with a flight of imagination fancies herself a goddess of something. Heaven help us if such a gal is attractive and has a passable talent… as she will declare herself a Diva as well.

Besides, knowing your classical mythology you must see how vain and spiteful the goddesses can be… certainly not qualities you will find in this Lady of the Lexicons. Don’t push her so high upon a pedestal that she is unable to condescend to converse with mere mortals.

If she must be supernatural, think of Marina in the role of Muse… and all the Muses had a command of music and language. Philology tends to plumb the depths of history, so perhaps Clio is the appropriate Muse… and Clio means “glorious”, as I recall.

I saw a tutorial about sorting it out in sony vegas and it looks like it was doing just like marina said to do so i will try that tomorrow or on friday. as long as vegas does not give me 400mb for 2 seconds of film i will be happy otherwise I will be uninstalling it. :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin:

I see a pirate’s tale in your future! Arrrr! :mrgreen:

Vegas, as most editors are tweakable. You can do a 10 min vid in 500K. I may be exaggerating, as I gotta run and can’t give an example or do the math. But, you must keep in mind, there is no free lunch, a LONG vid with SHORT file size means very lousy quality. It’s all in the trade-offs YOU designate.
With Vegas You is in charge man, not BillGrates.

Hey, the actress Sophie Monk goes completely nude in the movie Sex and Death 101. :cool:

Oh, forgot, yes there is a learning curve. It is not steep, but give yourself at least a few weeks to learn the ins and outs. Once learned, you will be amazed. Trust me. I’ve gotten lots of free meals from people that were elated.

Hi i have a word/name (if you can do names) request – Kimberlee … I really havnt found much information on it and i’d like to learn more about my name

Never heard of ‘meh’, how about meep? :mrgreen:

Good find James :smile:

By the way that vid was uploaded in 1280×720
I think Marina mentioned on Twitter that she can’t edit 1280x
Neither can I in Vegas, but I think there is a Vegas version that will, but of course it costs more.

:lol: :cool: :lol:

Hi Hotforwords

As this is the season of goodwill, what is the origin of Christmas and Xmas

Marina brought the word request to the masses, only she knows for sure what it means to her.

Doesn’t sound like a Dutch treat to me :mrgreen:

I’m going to laugh the next time I hear a politician being accused of waffling on an issue… I’m going to hear “He’s wafflin’” but I’m going to think “He zwaffelen”. :mrgreen:

It’s nice to see you’re still around. I hope you’re doing well.

All work and no play makes somebody – anybody a dull person.
Check back in regularly for some light relief and de-stressing. :smile:

Pieces of eight!

Marina!

Oh, I don’t use meh. My cat does though!

Your Student,

PS You are TooHotForWords! That’s because Meh is today’s word… :cool: :evil: :grin:

Burp

excuse me

Look you are glowing like fire! You need a glass of water, or you’ll soon burst into flames.

Hiccup! :shock:

I think I can can’t can can’t can’t.

Or can I?

Not.

think so

That’s a ridiculous word, and I don’t ever use it. I think it’s…meh! :roll:

Only 9 more days until we celebrate our birthdays, Marina. Woo-hoo! :mrgreen:

You told us the history of the word collar, which made me wonder the history of the word “neck”

Thanks

Hi Marina,
Hey you mentioned my screen name Huggles131..
Wow, You really are hot.
I was wondering where the phrase
“Tim Buc Too” came from.

Huggles

I don’t use meh. I use nah.

hey, id like to request the word onomatopoeia as this is a weird word that describes some weird words in the english language…. thanks :D

I was once told that the original definition for insanity ment to do something the same over and over again expecting different results. What’s the truth in this?

Thank you (spasibo). I started making and selling them when I was 16. Made more money than the teachers that year. :D

It’s a nice pen, but you definitely know you’re holding it. It’s well balanced but fairly heavy.

I haven’t seen the Ach-med one before. He is a funny guy and a great ventriloquist. :lol:

Hi Marina… Congrats for your show and your beautiful apearence evry time we watc your video…
I want to know where the word “Deamn” comes from, as we say “Deamn!!! what a preaty woman”

Excellent art work Pav. It’s perfect. :smile:

OK, class, let’s settle down and remember: this is a PHILOLOGY CLASSROOM!
Swedish Made Simple

There is another site on You Tube now that uses =22. It’s Val’s Diary. She emailed me the other day and said she was using &FMT=22 now. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qa9YjBZMMmI&fmt=22

She used to use regular video now her video’s are a lot more clearer. Like the link James has.

Hi Marina, I have a couple words for you. First is SUGAR, and then KISS. Kids where asking about SUGAR, and I wanted a KISS. :wink:

Very visible in the sw sky

Marina and th VO guy
Happier days… :mrgreen:

If we want to star-gaze in Washington, we have to “planet” for a clear night! :sad:

Tim and Earl met three girls
Earl bucked one but
Tim bucked two :mrgreen:

I agree Doug. :wink:

Don’t walk in front of me, I may not follow.

Don’t walk behind me, I may not lead.

Just walk beside me and be my friend. :smile:

In the military we prefer:

Lead, follow, or get out of the way.

Sorry, couldn’t help it :smile:

Mnemosyne has long been my favorite: goddess of memory and mother of the Muses. Marina is a sort of guardian of memory, reminding us of where our words come from.
This has been an a-muse-ing thread! :lol:

Sugar me sweet, Marina

Insanity is the impossibilty of reason. :mrgreen:

Yes – my children & i remarked on them when we went out to eat tonight…thanks!

:razz: meh :razz: never used that word cause im always here watching my hot lil’prince sweetheart :razz: KISSES

:wink: WANT SIGAR JUST WATCH THIS HOT HOT TEACHER AND YOU HAVE SUGAR :wink:

Meh….Whats up doc ?

verwy cwevaer

hey marina love your show can you please find the origin of the word christmas since we are coming soon to this date. And also Marina i would like to ask you my biggest dream would you sub my youtube it is on this link http://br.youtube.com/user/thepepitoshow please Marina also please leave comments love your show

While you wait for Marina’s reply, here’s what Dad told me:
In America’s colonial days, Spanish silver dollars were in circulation, and were cut into eight pieces (bits) to make small change. Two bits was thus a quarter dollar. :cool:

hey Marina can you do a video on the word hockey and where the sport came from?

Hi Marina,
Would you start teaching Russian language classes?

Hello Marina, John, dukerreno, Bob, James, Dezdkado, annuddermale, pedantickarl, foxbow, jt-turner, animalntaz, etyrnal, fong47, jakem952, russianboy, Capman911, absentmindedprof, bsomebody, Che Volay, CaptainJack, thoughtonfire, melikadothechacha, and any others I may have missed in my Nyquil drugged state,
Many thanks for keeping me company while I’ve been shut in with a heavy cold. Thank you for your lively repartee, patience, support, and occasional gentle correction.
Oh yeah, and Marina, my best wishes for Gorby’s quick recovery.

I don’t use it, but when others use it I assumed it meant mediocre.

I don’t use meh myself, but my little sister uses it a lot.

best wishes for your quick recovery

1080i would be 12-13 GB an hour, and 720p would be around 12-13 GB for 90 minutes

Sorry to hear Gorby still isn’t well. Keep us posted. Never used Meh. Always.

I don’t use meh myself, but if I were to be forced to, the first application would be to old Bucko. A little of him goes a long way; that is to say, if he were a can of Spackle, you could follow a serial killer with a shotgun through a housing project and use him to fix everything up like new and still have enough left over to follow a serial killer with a shotgun through a housing project…

Now, how does meh sound like a Russian cop? Do you mean litterally that is a sound they make or does it sound like the word for a Russian cop?

Well, that cinches it. I am officially chopped liver.

Now now, Camp, like I said, it’s the drugs (not) talking. :sad:

Hey Marina
I want to know about the phrase Semper Fi that the Marine Corps use
Please and thank you!

Good idea, RB! At the end of each lesson, she could pick one word (either the same as the English word or an entirely different one), pronounce it a couple of times (fast and slowly), define it, give usage examples and spell it in the Roman alphabet*. In the title, list the word, e.g. “Meh/Smitna” and have a separate page of Russian word lesson links, just like the English ones.

Best of all for Marina is that she can do it from memory (no origins), so she can quickly adlib them. Oooh! I can’t wait!

—-
*The spelling doesn’t have to be technically perfect, just phonetically correct. After all, it will only be used as a way for non-Cyrillic writers to record it.

Meh. Hootie went country I don’t know what happened to the blowfish. :roll:

hey marina, i would like to request a word.
“stool”
is the word stool(like the chair) in anyway related stool meaning (fecal matter, feces, please dont make me say more =))
like, “go sit on that stool” is it related to stool sample?

and also in accordance with sliplink666, where does Semper Fi come from? is it latin?

“Just walk beside me so I rip your arm out of it’s socket.”

(Sorry, I just finished watching the lastest episode Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles and haven’t gotten down off the buzz yet.)

Is this a joke? Son of a biatch!

The Oxford English dictionary says the origin of the word “canoodle” is obscure, and that of “cuddle” is “uncertain”. Could there be a connection with the German verb “knuddeln”?

If by using the phrase “original definition” you are implying that there were forthcoming later definitions (because the first the original is flawed), I would have to agree.

What does it say about someone if he does something differently over and over and expects the same results? I pay different amounts of taxes each year, but I can always count on them to want more.

It’s a place name. Use Mapquest for driving directions.

This was an OK lesson. The over-happy intro with the narcist geek at the recent Youtube love fest was over-the-top.
I’d never heard of “meh” (sounds like a meth addict would know it) but I’ve heard of “ta” (the Australian short form for “little thanks”.
Hope one of your online addicts doesn’t start telling me off like one loser did the other night. That was pathetic

Heard of it, not really much of a user myself (last time I used it? white random noise from my memory banks…). Still an interesting lesson though.

One of the best things about an alphabetically based language such as English is its simplicity, which allows it to adapt and create new words as necessary to suite contemporary situations.

Not even syrup-ticiously?

Word request:

This one has stumped me for a while now. Why is it that we use “Holy” as a prefix for some words, particularly “Holy Shit”? Not trying to be too controversial, but I have even heard clergy use the phrase, which made me laugh.

xoxo

Spasibo.

If you’re lucky.

Or “alec.” This is interesting.

Here, here!

Like most things, it came from a military acronym. A JUG is the modern NATO term for the WWII canteen, used by soldiers to carry drinking water. It stands for Joint Utility Gondola.

It’s true, I tell you.

No, you don’t. That’s not the restraining order, of course. It’s me, who’s delivering it. I didn’t get a chance to shower this month.

See the wonder dog Kobe in his next film adventure, White Ninga, Black Hana!

I read a book about the Mars candy people long ago. The boss came in one day and found that a potted plant in the office had been moved, so he moved it back for the same reason Ford allegedly tore the coke plant down. (This sounds a little bit too impractical and wasteful to be the truth. Any documentation?)

Sounds like…Hitman! great flick :mrgreen:
(except for the little dog, that is)

seesixcm6 – did you figure out
why your Gravatar is all black :?:
You can try tweaking the DPI setting
(dots per inch). I suspect yours is at
200 dpi. Lower it to 72-90, it should
work then. :grin:

WordPress does that for you. :mrgreen:

If your jaw doesn’t have room for them, they occlude into your other teeth, pushing them out of allignment and damaging the teeth they contact down to the root. This can cause an infection that is known to be deadly! Had mine “spooned” out at 16 – before they erupted. A lot less painful than waiting… :mrgreen:

See the recent post for the pencil

Oh mai Gawd! :mrgreen:

Keep up!

Ok I hope you get better. It sounds like its the cold and flu season. Im hearing many people including animals are sick. I have 3 friends with sick animals and 7 friends that are sick. Must be the changing of season.

I like the the hat you added to your gravitar.

I would like to have your email addy remove for you will get spammed big time. Normally the server kicks out email addys for your protection. I will contact M and have it removed.

:lol: That’s still insanity. :grin:

How did you type those tube looking characters?

Sorry, I don’t use ‘Meh’ and, most likely, never will.

What in tarnation are you talking about? Wow thats one I haven’t heard in years.

I need more shrubbery. They just keep hounding me for more. :roll:

All these years and for some reason its still funny. :mrgreen:

You can copy and paste from Character Map or type U+2550, U+2551, U+2554, U+2557, U+255A and U+255D. You have to type the numbers on the number pad and not on the top row beneath the function keys. :smile:

Word request “widget” to describe, generically, any product of industry as in:

“I work in a factory that makes thousands of widgets every day”

Sounds like scuttlebutt to me. :lol:

Homework: {glancing surreptitiously over ChaCha’s shoulder…}

…uh… …Me, too! :mrgreen:

so this how meh is used in the US …
In Malaysia meh is used in the ending of questions as in “Quantum of Solace good meh ?”
Malaysian English is like a cocktail of Chinese and Malay
Without gadgets , a Bond movie isn’t a Bond movie :evil:

Dear Hotforwords,
I would like to know what is the meaning of the word Vatican?
Thanks

does it look like a joke to you?
Я не думаю, что вы хотите с кем-то беспорядок, как мне малыш.

I use to read a lot of biographys

My cat is named Maia, after the mother of Hermes. :grin:

Wow, it looks like someone has a potty mouth … I think. :roll:

Just ask any Marine, and he or she will be most happy to ‘splain ya.

I keep noticing that M is wearing my gravatar more and more, these days. I feel so special. :razz: :smile: :lol: :oops:

Never use Meh. Though I use Nah or Neh allot, as in not really.
Love your show.

Marina took Gorby back to the vet & hospitalized him – he has an infection…hopefully he’ll be back on his paws soon…

Gorby is in the vet’s hospital being treated for an infection…say a lil’ prayer…

:sad: I spoke too soon! Marina said he was getting better when I typed this. I hope the little fella gets back on his paws soon too!

thank you very much!

“Do, or do not. There is no ‘try’.” – Yoda ‘The Empire Strikes Back’

Love this quote :!:
I also llike the scene after Yoda uses the force to move Luke’s X-Wing, and Luke says “I don’t believe it!” Then Yoda says “That is why you fail!” So many great lines in The Empire Strikes Back! :cool:

A word request, please, as the time for law exams draws near…

Where does the title “Esquire” come from, and why do some lawyers use the title instead of the more common J.D.? For instance, why do some lawyers sign their names, Joe Smith, Esq. as opposed to Joe Smith, J.D.?

I have words requests:

1. Law – why this word to represent system/principles?
2. Ceteris paribus – the history
3. Call to the bar – why bar? why call to?

My prayers to Gorby’s speedy recovery.

Hey, check out the latest entry on the “gizmo” :wink:

Hey Marina, I was wondering the origin of the word salary. I saw on the discovery channel that it might come from the word salt.

Cool! Let’s pàté :grin:
CK – If you change your Gravatar from

I had a wisdom that was impacted on a nerve! I was so bad that I couldn’t open my mouth all the way! One day there was bad storm and I had a headache that was so bad I thought my skull was going to split open! It caused by that :evil: tooth!

I had a wisdom :arrow: tooth…

The previous Bond movie, Casino Royale was the BEST Bond movie BY FAR! And it did over a billion dollars at the box office as a result. Then the producer HIRE A DIFFERENT DIRECTOR for this movie, and you end up with none of the character development of the previous movie, nor the real tension you felt in the previous one.. PLUS Bond doesn’t even get with the main girl??? What’s up with that?

I’m just upset that they had an amazing team on the last movie and perhaps didn’t want to pay for it on this one?

If you read the books, Casino Royale was very close to the original book.. Quantum of Solace had absolutely NOTHING to do with the original story. I LOVE James Bond.. that’s why I offered my criticism :-)

I had to bring him to the hospital last night.. and he is there with an IV stuck in his arm. He had lesions all over his body that were starting to pop with fluid coming out. They say there is possible blockage in his digestive track, but they can’t x-ray him until today. He looked like he was getting better yesterday, then suddenly got worse. He went from 4 pounds to only 2 pounds in weight!

Just handed in revised completed copy yesterday… putting the finishing touches on it.. but the actual book does not come out until August of next year!! Which is crazy as that seems like an eternity!!

I’ll let you know more as soon as I find out more… and yes, I will be doing a book tour :-)

Wow.. just learned a new word.. from the U.S. Cruise ship that just outran the pirates:
“In a statement on its Web site, the company said pirates fired eight rifle shots at the liner, but that the ship’s captain increased speed and managed to outrun the skiffs.”

Skiff: a small light boat of any kind from French esquif, the Italian schifo and Old High German scif

That’s a good on imperial7, I wish you could make a video request but if not, I’ll still do it. Let me know.

From which we get the English “ship”?

How’s Gorby getting on?

good luck on your tour…after st.nick day and then your your birthday, “Miss Ten, Dec.” and then 9 months after spring, it is christmas, then a new year and Epiph any…wow…you have all the luck :lol:

Never mind, I found your update below.
I really hope he recovers – he’s such a little character.

pirates, yeah they robbed the queen; who paid them too…lesson later, gota cook’em ribs with beans :lol:

That sounded just like my friends cat (Cody). went through. Exact same symptoms. The x-rays showed he had some kind of stone blocking his digestive track.
He had to have surgery to have it removed and now he is doing fine. Whats happening is the body is unable to remove wastes and is poisoning its self. Get things flowing again and everything is back to normal. Animals are just like kids putting bad things in there mouth. :mrgreen: Well this is good news Marina. They should be able to get him all cleaned out and he will recover just fine. Thanks for the update. :wink:

Thanks for clarifying your criticism. I might have to make you my new movie critic. Now I can go see the movie and not have such high expectations to only get disappointed. I’ll go see it on a matinee price.

heheh that’s a word I use almost daily (Skiff). Not hard to out run a skiff. They are usually overloaded for the size of motor they put on them. Most skiffs run about 5 to 15+ knots. The M/S Nautica tops out around 18+ knots. Your normal container ships can run around 22+ knots. Also they had one of those long-range acoustic device that hurts your ears.

tnks I’ll look into it. I’ll be moving my sailboat today so I’ll be off line for half of the day. Not sure If I can find access at the new dock.

how about the word “suck age”…I never really understand it

Dear Marina,
I am so sorry to hear this. I once lived in LA with my very sick pooch. I took him to the Beverly Hills Small Animal Hospital (off Santa Monica Blvd) and they saved his life. Best of luck, Q :sad:

Hello Sweetie, :razz: :lol:
Hope you’ve got plenty of fenders ready this time.
If you’re short, ask M to lend you some err … pillows. :grin:

i have a word for you.

the word is ‘fishy’

i heard it in an episode of Smallville, when Clark Kent meets Aquaman for the first time. Clark doesnt trust him, and pulls Lois Lane aside and asks:

“Doesnt he seem fishy to you?”

i know how its used, but i would like to know where it comes from

thank you,
elliott

Mari please, decide to investigate the origin of the word Freemasonry.

Thanks and greetings from Costa Rica,

Hi Marina,I hope your dog is doing well!I had to bring my 4 month old kitten to an emergency vet (2 am) because he could not urinate.Diagnoses was feline cystitis (urethral obstruction,struvite crystals).Although an operation is sometimes the only option,I am happy to say his crystals are being controlled by prescription food.He just turned one and is doing very well.I hope the very same for yours!!

Yeah, I saw that last night on the way home.

I was just thinking of that song. :cool:

This is. :mrgreen: :lol:

You know, none of the members of that band is named Hootie or the Blowfish.

Why would you run ad blocker? Websites use ads to be able to run and you are basically saying that you would rather pay for a website then view a few ads that help the site survive. If everyone runs ad blockers, free websites will no longer exist.

Just one way of looking at it.. of course I record all my TV shows on my DVR and then fast forward through the ads… but I can still see the ads.. only really fast.. and on one or two occasions I have rewound and gone back to watch an ad that looked funny even in hyper speed :-)

Dinghy is an unusual word for a small boat. It almost sounds Australian. :neutral:

:lol:Yesterday I request “neo maxi zoomdweebie” and today I googled it.Guess what came up on the searches? :smile: …thats right, hotforwords,what a small and fast world! :smile:

Normally I don’t find Erica Durance that attractive looking, but she does have a nice rack when she skinny deeps in that Rob Zombie movie (I think it was House of the Dead). :grin:

You’re welcome… Make yourself a hot toddy, and may you wake up fully healed from your ailment. Here’s a (hopefully) funny story that may make you feel better…

One winter I went with a friend and his family to Winter Park, Colorado for a ski-trip. We drove there in a huge truck with a covered top over the bed of the vehicle that kept our luggage and ski equipment dry. For the first couple of days everything was wonderful… the weather was perfect, the snow was plentiful, the crowds were small, and I had the joy of watching a friend attempt to learn to ski… as he struggled to stand or glide without falling. :mrgreen:

But a few days in I succumbed to two sicknesses… (1) a flu virus and (2) altitude sickness. I was as weak and helpless as a baby… but nowhere near as cute or compact in size. For two days and part of a third I lingered in bed in agony… fever, vomiting, shortness of breath, etc. :cry:

On the last day, as everyone was packing to go, I was still miserable. One of my friend’s relatives was in medicine and had kept an eye on me throughout my ordeal. Once the truck was packed and everyone else was on board, she gave me one pill and a bottle of water. :?:

“What is this?” I asked her.
“Just take it.” she ordered me, and then asked me to bundle up and sleep in the bed of the truck with the luggage. “When you wake up, you’ll feel better.”

I did as she instructed. I took the pill, drank my water, bundled up, reclined in the bed of the truck, and closed my eyes for a short nap. I woke up about 9 hours later and two states away from Colorado. The group had stopped to get gas at a truck stop, to stretch their legs, etc. And I woke up in wonderment. I felt brand new. No headache, no fever, no nausea, no weakness, no nothing… I felt great! :smile:

So I went to the woman who had given me the pill. I had to know the name of this miracle drug.

“What was that pill that you gave me?” I inquired.
“Well… they don’t make it any more…” she began. “It’s called Empirin…”
“What was it used for?” I wondered aloud.
“Feminine cramps.” She replied.

I was mortified… and humbled as my friend couldn’t stop laughing at me. To this day, instead of asking how my day went, or inquiring after my family, he greets me with, “So Dez… how are you cramps?” :evil:

One rule for you and another for everyone else is it? Hmm, im like that. :lol: When you watch the news find a presenter who has a really animated face and pause them at random points. They always look so funny..

I am one of those people that if I want to buy something I will find it myself and buy it. (I am using opera now so I will go and click on the ads many times)

BUT MARINA!

I STILL WANT TO BUY THAT BLOODY CALENDAR!!

I try to buy it :smile: then I get told I can’t :evil: and its really making me sad :sad: . I cant eat sleep :sad: , I had to take time off college :!: :sad: . I nearly died of stress :twisted: :mad: I was smoking 300 a day :eek: it was awful. Now I am just waiting for december 5th :neutral: and that autograph :wink:

( hint hint on getting pictures printed

:smile: :smile:

The first time I ever heard of that word was from Return of The Jedi. There were two desert skiffs floating with Jabba’s Sail Barge. :cool:

If you hang out with Sailors and Marines more often, you’ll hear all kinds of new and interesting words… hehe :mrgreen:

You Give Love A Bad Name :cool:

Yes, I love all of the characters that he performs: Peanut, Walter, Bubba, Jose Jalapeno, Sweet Daddy D, Achmed… and he’s on tour, so he may be in your neck o’ the woods soon.

either way the view is awe inspiring, eh? :mrgreen:

@ Evan – probably due to Viking occupation

Thanks for the update Marina! What Captain Jack said sounded encouraging also! Hopefully Gorby will be back to his old self in no time! Get well soon Gorby!!!

:cool: Here’s a quote form Star Wars-A New Hope.

“The Force can have a strong influence on the weak-minded.” Obi Wan Kenobi

Somehow I think Capman had some influence on today’s quote. :wink:

"We're sorry, but this video is no longer available." “…because we were gonna have our pants sued off for copyright infringement by deep pockets.”

Here’s something to cheer you possibly?

possibly?

What they need is one of those long-range acoustic devices that has about a .50 cal. hole on the business end of it.

Passenger: “And this Captain, is my 95-year old grandmother, Mrs. Frump.”
Captain: “Pleased to meet you. Say, while we are assigning battle station assignments, Mrs. Frump, do you think you could manage these fifty cals? We’ll have someone to feed the ammo; all you would have to do is point and pull on this triggery thing right here.”

Well, Marina, turnabout is fair play. Tell us the Russian word for skiff. It could be the first one in your English/Russian series. You gotta get going on this.

And another interesting iff word is spiff.

Do you put salt on celery?

If you can’t find access, you”l just have to barge in.

WLIU, esquire means without (royal) title. But because lawyers have started using esquire very much like a title, it now means “I have a title of no title, which I hope you find impressing as hell and makes me seem more like my fees are worth it.”

{CK twists the bullet end in his ear to lubricate it for extra accuracy, s-l-o-w-l-y and deliciously slides it into into the breech, pushes the well-oiled bolt forward and then down and ever-so-carefully turns the windage a click or two.}

Security guard: “Hey! What are you doing up there?”
CK: “Oh, nothing. Just watchin’ this guy.”
Security guard: “Gonna be long?”
CK: “Dunno yet.”

“Regular?” Is that just your pleasant euphamism for whack job? OK, guilty.

It looked like a joke, because deamn is not a word. It is a comedic pronunciation of damn, just like bi-atch is of bitch.

Is this what you meant about my vids marina? I made it my self…….. :Proud: in sony vegas :proud/slightly smug :http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=FP_mUdCvNAo

Especially if later the eraser is entirely missing and the ferrule is all crinkly with teethmarks.

Back in the command-line days (pre GUI), those symbols were what passed for graphics in the PC world. They were used to surround menus, or otherwise pretty up a screen of text. And now here you guys are, years later, wondering about them.

Archeologist 1: “Look at this things with the bulbous end.”
Archeologist 2: “Why, it’s a tool! It must be!”
Archeologist 1: “There’s an inscription in ancient Ammurican! It’s barely legible: ‘ball peen ham mur’”
Archeologist 2: “What do you suppose that means?”
Archeologist 1: “No clue. Let’s get it back to the lab so we can carbon date it and type that inscription into Archimate for Windows 9.0″

Be sure to let those monkeys out for excercise every once in a while so they don’t go nuts. There’s nothing worse than stir-crazy butt monkeys.

WLIU, I think, in this sense, fetch is a shortening of fetching, which means appealing.

The most common cause of acute pancreatitis is gallstones. Excessive alcohol use is often cited as the second most common cause of acute pancreatitis. ?

Hmm well thats what wikipedia said.

I am so sorry to hear about that Marina, today my mum noticed there is scuttling sound in the roof, we think its a squirell (we have timber framed houses and last year we had mice in the walls chewing the phone cables and electrocuting themselves at the same time as my next door neighbour had squirrels going in the roof) It doesnt matter what I think of an animal I will never harm one. I am nice like that. I really hope gorby is OK. just make sure you have a nice 640X360 basket for him to rest in when he gets back and keep an eye over him in high quality (how are these youtube puns :smile: )

XX

I saw the same thing, but as Marina points out alot of things on History and Discovery channels are erroneous, or flawed.

I am so sorry to hear he is sick. I pray for his quick recovery.

You harsh fucking insensitive cunt. Go f*ck your dead gran you peice of hartless shite. Marina is such a nice person and I am not saying that because ” oh, I am friends with a really hot woman on youtbe with 100 million views” She really is a nice person, she is so helpful to me and all you do is leave hurtful comments you are a toatal prick, and I am sorry if this post offends anyone but it will just have to because the stupid twat is making me so angry right now I could fucking GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAHHHHHHHHHHHH :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

Dear HotForWords,
I’d like to know the origin of a word I’ve been daydreaming about. Let’s see. Now what was it? Ummm, I was just thinking about it. Oh, I remember. The word is REVERIE. My favorite word. Thanks!
Orpheus

{Whilst unseen by CK and unheard by the mark, a shadowy figure clad in an all enveloping, skin-tight black jumpsuit with a black hood with only three small holes for the eyes and nose, smiles as he silently slides an all black shoto out of its scabbard.
He reaches into a small black pouch hanging at his waist and pulls out a bag of powder, which has been prepared from the crushed stamens of the Chrysanthemum flower.
When this powder gets into the mark’s bloodstream from the small pinprick of the shoto, it acts as a powerful neuro-toxin that will have the victim writhing on the ground in agony as he wonders what kind of insect just stung him.}

Security guard: “Hey! What’s happened to that guy you were watching?”
CK: “Dunno. He was just standing there in the moonlight when a cloud came over the moon. When the moon came out again, he was on the ground bawling his head off. I never saw a thing.”

Whatever. :roll:

eye can’t hear you you must have carrots stuck in your ears.

Leave, why can’t you just leave here

Lets see……. BECAUSE I AM LIKED!

eye can’t hear you you must have carrots stuck in your ears

Makes no logical sense which explains it. you have been released from the nut house, I shall no longer converse with you but see you and feel pity good-day

I’ll take that movie recommendation :wink: They aren’t the same kind of movie, though. “Kicked in the Head” is a streets of New York flick and is packed with character actors like, James Wood (who is great in this film), Burt Young, Lili Taylor, and Michael Rapaport (His best work). I failed to mention it was a comedy, too, and that’s important. Wildly underrated by the viewing public. Not for the straight laced viewer that’s for sure.

Damn can’t you take a joke?

I didn’t want to hear from you either I have accomplished my mission.

The sooner Marina Orlova can move beyond the web and sickos like you, the better.

Ditto

Milaya Marina,
There’s an English phrase “to be worth one’s salt”, meaning to have earned one’s pay. That would tie in with I7′s word request.
Roman soldiers were paid in salt, and their pay was called their salarium. (At least, if my memory’s any good.) :smile:
Cognates for salt:
Greek halos
Spanish sal
Welsh halen
OK, sorry, I’m free-associating now. It’s a symptom of my ADD. :smile:

Do you have a blog with all your stories?!

{Bob and CK wash up, change clothes and go over to Marina’s place with a couple of pounds of ribs and a bag of charcoal. All three are chowing down at the table.}

Marina: “It’s a different flavor meat, but it’s really good!”

CK: “Well, some kinds of meat are best when really fresh.”

Bob: “Yeah, like an hour ago.”

{Bob winks at CK, who tosses Gorby a rib. Gorby winks at CK and they all laugh.}

No, but I could do something in the future… one never knows until the story is told whether or not the audience appreciates it.

This ought to cheer you up :mrgreen:
Goatboy!

Фильм про бонда был не “Ме” а “Бееееееееее” кал одним словом =))

I use the word meh when I’m watching your videos. I’m just kidding Marina I love you

Seems the kid doesn’t have a sense of humour. :roll:

Skiffs are one thing Captain but what about the Chinese Junk ? Very strange name for a Boat.

CK, maybe we should start a new clique.
We could call ourselves Teacher’s Ass-ass-ins or TAs for short. The current TAs should now be called TSs for Teacher’s Sweeties, and Capt.Jack with his deadly hands could be our patron. :lol:

I actually remember that simpsons episode :lol:

Homer saw an ad for a place called Blocko-land (A ripoff of legoland). He was excited to go, but not the kids.

A bit later on when they were leaving Blocko-land:
————————
Bart mentions how he likes his Lego shirt.
Marge : Don’t you mean Blocko shirt?
Bart: Err Yeah…Blocko shirt. :)

Are you a Mapple Person?

Марина не верь ему он правду сказал )))) “protac6″
Видяхи у тебя просто помпезные жду следующих)

:lol: :lol: Revenge of the Fett :lol: :lol:

Is it Kobe or Gorby? I remember you changing your dogs name from Kobe to Gorby, but you still call him Kobe. So is it Kobe or Gorby? :neutral:

I like Gorby Better.

Marina, my apologies if the video I posted was offensive to you, it was just so upbeat i thought it my cheer you up and take your worry’s of Gorby for a while.

:shock: Nooo! Really, Bad Santa? Does Huey Lewis and the News know about this :?:

Sweetie, LOL you saw that to? :mrgreen: Use her pillows? Naw I have a better use for those. I like using them to prop my head up to watch TV in bed. When I sleep, I like to bury my face in them.

:mrgreen: Marina, I appreciate your views on “Quantum of Solace”. That is what makes this country great! Everyone has an opinion and is free to express it. I have talked to guys and gals alike about this movie. To me, it seems to boil down to one thing. “Quantum…” is a guy film. The guys I have talked to enjoyed the film. The gals,well,they seem to follow your train of thought and did not like this latest Bond adventure. Perhaps I am addicted to the Bond genre and like the movies. My only thing I would of changed is to have Bond in the cross hairs of an enemy agents gun appear in the opening credits instead of the closing credits. Remember the scene? Bond is seen walking and the enemy’s gun is aimed at him. Bond spins around,fires his gun,and the enemy’s gun slowly tilts down with blood covering the screen. Other Bond films show this scene at the opening credits. Perhaps you will like the next Bond movie. Until then,save the isle seat for me and I’ll see you at the movies!!!

Just a follow up, the boss fixed your post. I hope you didn’t get spammed to much. :grin:

She has done a couple already – q.v. ‘Molotov Cocktail’ and ‘AK-47′ under ‘lessons’ tab

My favourite saying to a lover while in… the act, “At your cervix, ma’am”

а мне понравился ;-)

ммм ты уверен что Марина помнит слово помпезные? ^_^

I’m sure it’s Gorby!

I didn’t get spamed ^_^ hope that Marina saw my request

I rented “Hitman” and it was a purdy good flick. I especially enjoyed Olga. Thanks, melikadothechacha , for the recommendation :smile:

The left one is Kobe – the right one is Gorby. :grin:

I subbed :-)

HEY! I subbed to you! LOL

XX

Oh, Professor Orlova! Please tell me how good you help me make my work!

I use “um”.

Here are the Lyrics.

Well, I had the carburetor, baby, cleaned and checked with her line blown out she’s hummin’ like a turbojet
Propped her up in the backyard on concrete blocks for a new clutch plate and a new set of shocks
Took her down to the carwash, check the plugs and points
Well, I’m goin’ out tonight. I’m gonna rock that joint

Early north Jersey industrial skyline I’m a all-set cobra jet creepin’ through the nighttime
Gotta find a gas station, gotta find a payphone this turnpike sure is spooky at night when you’re all alone
Gotta hit the gas, baby. I’m running late, this New Jersey in the mornin’ like a lunar landscape

Now, the boss don’t dig me, so he put me on the nightshift
It’s an all night run to get back to where my baby lives
In the wee wee hours your mind gets hazy radio relay towers, won’t you lead me to my baby?
Underneath the overpass, trooper hits his party light switch
Goodnight good luck one two power shift

I met Wanda when she was employed behind the counter at route 60 Bob’s Big Boy Fried Chicken on the front seat, she’s sittin’ in my lap
We’re wipin’ our fingers on a Texaco roadmap
I remember Wanda up on scrap metal hill with them big brown eyes that make your heart stand still

Well, at five a.m., oil pressure’s sinkin’ fast
I make a pit stop, wipe the windshield, check the gas
Gotta call my baby on the telephone
Let her know that her daddy’s comin’ on home
Sit tight, little mama, I’m comin’ ’round I got three more hours, but I’m coverin’ ground

Your eyes get itchy in the wee wee hours sun’s just a red ball risin’ over them refinery towers
Radio’s jammed up with gospel stations lost souls callin’ long distance salvation
Hey, mister deejay, woncha hear my last prayer hey, ho, rock’n'roll, deliver me from nowhere

I just used “meh” in regards to this year’s Super Bowl commercials.

I have to say Marina, this is a great lesson, but you didn’t get the intonation quite right. You give it a flat intonation that does not rise or fall from one phoneme to the next, but in most usages (which as you point out follow from the usage in the Simpsons), meh has a falling tone. I think this is important for this word, because it is lexicallogically so empty. I think one of the hardest parts of learning Russian for me is getting the intonation right. What would [да ладно...] (as used when indicating that sufficient information has been conveyed to prove one’s point) without it’s intonation?

Marina these are three new nerd words if you haven’t already used them.
