    Home Work: I used to read them when my mother would buy them. Now I only check them out standing in the grocery store line waiting to be checked out.
    Marina did Gorby leave you a Christmas present in your closet? :lol: :lol:

  • orion_ss1

    I thought Marina said it was used by Mensans; she actually said ‘medicine’ ( I had to replay that part a few times to figure it out ).

    I don’t believe half of what is in the regular newpapers, I’d never bother with the UFO abductions of Elvis or whatever.

    nope, no tabloid readin’ in this household…tho’ i’ll sometimes scan the headlines while waiting in line at Wallyworld (*gasp* did you know Jen, Ang & Brad are all feudin’???!!!)…

    “-oid” as a suffix usually means “like,” so i take it “tabloid” is “tablet-like”…odd choice for something that already is a tablet…

    You should edit it so it says about 700 million just once and see if anyone notices.

    I had an argument with a woman over “the tabloids”. She said that they are the truth… especially
    World Weekly News
    She stated that all these things happen… it’s just that mainstream media outlets make more money selling political propaganda and such.

    I told her Elvis is dead… the Kentucky Fried Chicken Man is dead…
    Space Aliens don’t eat doorknobs… I went on and on. Then I realized she was an outpatient from a “nuthouse?” when her friend came up and said, ” Hey Toiletface, have you ever seen a fish in a tree?”

    ohhh! :oops: :shock: :lol:

    With all the reading I have to do on HFW, you think I have time to read the Tabloids? :roll: :lol:
    Seriously, there is so much doom and gloom in the news these days and what you get in the newspapers is so inaccurate that I rarely read any quality newspaper, let alone a tabloid.

  • http://mikechimeriblog.com MCLIJazz

    No, I do not read Tabloids and refuse to.

    Dear совершенная Marina, You are beautiful when you wear red! Happy Christmas Eve to you, too! I hope that you, your sister, and your family all have a happy time! :razz:
    No, I don’t read tabloid paoers. They’re a waste of time (that I could use watching your videos, instead.) I hope you don’t read them, either. Not unless you view them as works of fiction, just like those Jackie Collins novels you read! (Imagine a teacher of literature reading tabloid newspapers! Not nice!) :shock:

    Che loves his new border, what color would say it is?
    It looks Mauve on my computer screen, James said it was pink.

    Che is man enough to handle a mauve border
    a little purple a little red it’s all kewl

    It was closest to Marina’s background color I could originally come up with. She added the rest. :smile:

    Darling Marina,

    I hope you have a truly wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year! May God bless you in ways you could never imagine. I know it’s corny, but you, through this site, have added enjoyment to my life in no small fashion.
    Now, I’m going to the woods for a couple of weeks to try to sort out all the goings-on throughout our world over the past year. Maybe I’ll figure some of it out; maybe not. All I know is I’ll come back a better man.
    And to all the HFW family: MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR! Ya’ll are a blast and I love you all! See you!

    Always.

    And did you know that explorers in Antarctica found a red double-decker London bus frozen in an iceberg and the passengers were still reading their perfectly preserved copies of the London Evening Standard?
    It’s true, I tell you … ask Campkohler. :lol:

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/mikemx32 Capman911

    James I didn’t even catch the differences in the beginning videos until you brought it up. Don’t egg her on to fool us poor old people. We have CRS as it is. I didn’t even know what her sister was saying until I played it 4 times. I thought she was talking about an alcoholic drink at first. :lol:

  • http://www.hotforwords.com Marina

    it’s ff008c, whatever that is? :-)

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/mikemx32 Capman911

    It’s not pink Che, I went back to my color chart and it is darker than pink. So Mauve would be closer.

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/mikemx32 Capman911

    I think you made his day. A great present for him M. :smile:

  • http://www.youtube.com/CheVolay Che Volay

    { Che will call it mauve when Marina is not around }

    ff008c = ffooeightsee

  • http://toastytech.com/guis/bobboot1.gif Bob

    I’d call it Magenta.

    @Capman Do you know what a Sambuca Luge is?

    You get a block of ice
    Heat up a metal coat hanger
    melt a groove/channel in the block of ice
    tilt the block up 15 or so degrees
    have your open mouth at the low part of this channel
    have a friend pour Sambuca down this groove from the top
    lap up a nice cold shot a Sambuca

    if you run out of Sambuca any alcohol will do

    Happy Christmas Marina. I hope you have a really wonderful day, you are a beautiful and talented person whom I am always happy to help, thanks for all your knowledge. This sounds so soppy but I mean it. I just hope one day I can meet you to discuss philology and wide screen high definition.

    I am waiting for midnight. This is so my video says uploaded on Christmas day! You are in it
    :-) (and we like it that way)

    I’d have said ‘ochien horosho’ but si; muy bueno.

  • wetsuit5

    Used to read them out at sea.
    My shipmates thought, oh how could you read such junk.
    Then THEY would spend the next 2 weeks reading and passing them around for entertainment.
    Which is why I bought it in the first place.

  • wetsuit5

    Marina,

    Can I have green please?

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/bsomebody13 bsomebody

    I generally to not read them. I am afraid that I will remember something from them, but forget from where I read it. :roll: If the story is extremely bogus (one of my favorites was “Baby Born Pregnant,”) then I may go ahead and indulge myself. That is rare, though. My time is fairly limited and my eyes can only take so much reading these days.

  • http://uk.youtube.com/user/jamesingtonthethird James

    Fuck magenta i prefer ffooeightsee

  • http://uk.youtube.com/user/jamesingtonthethird James

    You cant… Smokey has green. I dont think there are any more colours.

  • http://mentalgrammarhasbeensetup.blogspot.com alex

    what the hell? lol. look. i’m a male. words like “fuchsia”, “peach”, “cream” — those ain’t colors to me, they’re plants and fruits and whatever.

    anyway. it’s pink. nothing wrong with that.

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/mikemx32 Capman911

    That sound like an ice cold funnel, kewl. Never have drank any Sambuca. Must try it at our next bon fire or make that a barn fire. :lol:

  • John

    I rarely read the tabloids, I rarely read anything anymore, just mostly the local newspaper thats more like a tabloid than a major newspaper. I use to read alot back before i got my computers (1995) now if i read something its usually software manuals, computer magazines and a few paperback books.

  • wetsuit5

    Suck down some Sambuca.
    Watch the other guy go find a metal hanger.
    Suck down some more Sambuca.
    Watch the other guy go find something to heat the hanger with.
    Suck down some more Sambuca.
    Watch the other guy heat the hanger and start to melt the ice block.
    Suck down some more Sambuca.
    Watch the other guy finish the ice thing and tilt the ice block.
    Watch the other guy try to pour Sambuca down the ice.
    Whoops!! Sambuca all gone.

    Wish the other guy to have a nice evening.
    Go get some more Sambuca.
    Drink it, cause you can’t remember what the project was in the first place.

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/mikemx32 Capman911

  • http://www.youtube.com/CheVolay Che Volay

    keep the ice block away from the fire :grin:

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/bsomebody13 bsomebody

    I know exactly what color Che’s border is. I used to have a pair of Chuckies the same color. Mrs. Somebody said they were pink and busted my hump everytime I wore them. She normally supports my creative clothing choices (as long as the colors match :roll: ), but for some reason, she just had to comment everytime I wore these shoes. She finally bought me a pair of flamin’ Chuckies, so I gave mine to a 6′+ young lady I knew. Everyone was happy :grin: .

    By the way, Converse says the color is magenta, but I know it is really Passionate Purple.

  • runawayscott

    I like that Marina has brought back some aspects of her older videos like letting her sister in and doing bloopers at the end of the vids.

    MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT

    Merry Christmas from San Diego! :grin:
    A HotForWords Christmas

    Twas the night before Christmas in the HotForWords house
    Not a creature was stirring, not even Gorbys new mouse.
    The comments were all hung in their threads with great care
    Hoping teachers reply, soon would be there.

    The students were drowsy, all snug in their beds
    While visions of first comment danced in their heads.
    And Skip in his bed, and I in my cap,
    had almost logged off for a long winters nap.

    When out from my phone there arose such a clatter,
    I sprang for my crackberry to see what was the matter.
    Away to the laptop I flew like a flash, tore open the cover,
    and hit refresh with a bash.

    With the screen so bright, aglow in the dark,
    Skip got scared and let out a bark.
    When what on my computer screen did appear,
    but a holiday message from Marina with cheer.

    With a wonderful smile, so smart and so bright
    I knew in a momment it had come from Marinas cool site.
    More rapid than 3G, her helpers they came,
    and she whispered and smiled and called them by name:

    “Now Capman! Now Jack!
    Now, James and Anud!
    On, Karl! On, ChaCha!
    On, BillyB and Bob!
    From the decks of the yachts!
    From the car in the stall!
    Now type away!
    Type away! Type away all!”

    And then in a refresh, I heard on the street
    the tipping and toein’ of cute little feet.
    As I foucused my ears, listened and stopped,
    through the front door, teacher appeared with a hop.

    She was dressed in all white with glitter of blue,
    I fell back off my seat, this couldn’t be true.
    A bundle of calenders she had hung on her side.
    Guarded by Gorby, along for the ride.

    Her eyes so blue, how softly they twinkled
    Her cheeks so high and not even a wrinkle.
    The smile on her face drawn up like a bow.
    And locks of blonde hair with a fabulous glow.
    The stump of a pencil she held tight in her teeth
    and her hair was styled in the shape of a wreath.
    She had a cute smiling face and a flat little belly,
    that tightened when she laughed unlike a bowl full of jelly.

    She spoke not a word, but went straight to her Mac,
    edit and uploaded, the lessons were stacked.
    And closing one eye to give a slight wink,
    she turned with a blur and was gone in a blink.

    She sprang to her car, to Gorby she whistled
    and away they both flew, down the street like a missile.
    But I heard her exclaim, as she drove through the night:

    “MERRY CHRISTMAS DEAR STUDENTS AND VISIT MY SITE!!”

  • nathan19

    Hey Marina,

    Tabloids are actually kind of a bête noire for me. I just can’t stand the whole culture of celebrity-following. Whenever I see footage of paparazzi swarming on some starlet or another, it’s like I’m about to have an aneurysm. And I find the people who buy into that stuff and read the tabloids just as insufferable.

    On the other hand, the bizarre tabloids like The Sun are amusing to look at while standing in line at a store. I always get a kick out of imagining their writing staff sitting in a room dreaming up all their crazy stories and lauging at the people who believe them.

    Dear Marina,

    Though I read several papers regularly I do not usually read tabloids. For a time I read the London Daily Mail as I admired its editor, Sir David English, and its chairman, the Viscount Rothemere.

    I am sad that you won’t be with your family on Christmas. :sad: I wish you all the best and offer my thanks for your hard work, insightful teachings, and delightful smile.

    Homework: Nope. (ok… from rare time to time, for a laugh in the checkout line…) :lol: Mostly laughing at the facts:

    -They continue to be printed because:
    -They continue to sell enough to keep printing them and turn a profit
    -There must be a great many individuals stupid enough to purchase them

    …then the sigh of relief that I am not to be counted among them! (as I shake my head and return it to its proper place in the rack when it comes my turn to pay for my groceries.) :grin:

    I don’t read them. It’s better to read the Onion if you want something known to be bogus. At least they are funny.

    Tabloid was first used in commerce in 1884 and then the trademark was applied for in 1897, granted in 1907 (ten years it took!) and it is still active for medicine and again for a whole range of substances by the same old Burroughs in London. Almost all uses for tabloid that do not refer to the style of printing are dead (lawyer’s work?) except for one line of women’s clothing in 2004.

  • vonmalcolm

    Marina, here are a couple of words you may want to etymologize: ‘sideburns’ (an interesting origin from an interesting, if tragic, man – see ‘The Battle Of The Crater’, ‘The Mud March’, etc.) and teetotaler (which, with its several different proposed word origins, could be a game), surprisingly, Angus Young is one.

    Happy Holidays

    P.S. I ‘Orlova’ your YouTube channel, but be careful of Gorby: He’s a scene stealer! He may want the spotlight all to his own!

    Hi Marina,

    Where does the word “Wits” come from? Examples like, “Scared the wits out of me.” , “A man lives by his wits alone.” .

    Also the word “Twit” came to mind.

    Thank you

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/CantwrCymreig Evan Owen

    OK guys, go easy; the kid’s YouTube account says he’s 14.
    Spanish comes from España, the country we call Spain, in Europe, south of France. It is considered a language because it is spoken by about 400 million people worldwide. It is the main language of Mexico and most of the Central and South American countries. The word language is lengua in Spanish; lengua also means tongue. El español es mi lengua segunda — Spanish is my second language, after Welsh and English. :smile:

    ***WORD REQUEST***
    Discovery Channel today had a thing about robots, mechanical workers.
    Then while reviewing my high-school Russian (don’t know WHAT inspired me :mrgreen: ) I recalled that работа (rabota) is Russian for “work.”
    Then I thought, “Rabota…robot…work…what’s going on here, guys? HotForWords must investigate!”

  • hotfor-hotforwords-

    WORD HISTORY Calling someone a shyster might be considered libellous; knowing its probable origin adds insult to injury. According to Gerald L. Cohen, a student of the word, shyster is derived from the German term scheisser, meaning literally “one who defecates,” from the verb scheissen, “to defecate,” with the English suffix -ster, “one who does,” substituted for the German suffix -er, meaning the same thing. Sheisser, which is chiefly a pejorative term, is the German equivalent of our English terms bastard and son of a bitch. Sheisser is generally thought to have been borrowed directly into English as the word shicer, which, among other things, is an Australian English term for an unproductive mine or claim, a sense that is also recorded for the word shyster.

    Merry Christmas Marina !

    With so many of my coworkers sick with colds I was wondering where the name cold came from to describe being sick??

    Loved the card. It was my favourite Christmas present !

  • http://www.laserradio.com wyo550

    Tabloid? Now there’s a real Christmas message! Like the theme of my novel, “Nothing means Nothing, Have a Nice Day!” Since I’m visiting my Mom and she has dial up, I’m not watching your videos- just seeing that your tits are bigger in dialup and your dog cuter! Arf Arf. Now, back to composing my private fax message to Mr. Cheney about his speech to the Wyoming legislature in a couple weeks. After the stupid-means-predictable standing ovation from amateur citizen politicians, I hope he’ll make the same kind of statement that president Eisenhower in 1960 regarding the dangers of the Military Industrial Complex (in Cheney’s case, he needs to articulate the dangers of America feeding on itself like a Stalinist/corporate pigpen, using the excuse of the security perimeter that teh Bush Administration created. It will be a big surprise for everybody who thinks (like BBC reported in September while I was driving Ferraris in Monaco) that Cheney’s the “Merchant of Death”. OH, I forgot, Nothing means Nothing. Have a Nice Day. That’s my attempt to give a Christmas present to all of you, a safer and more free America because I got Dick Cheney to calm down the amateur A-holes (like those in Wyoming) who would otherwise pass laws that limit your future in the name of “economic security”.

  • nathan19

    Hey jrcx. Someone else asked about quixotic a few lessons back, too. Here’s what I told them:

    A writer, Miguel de Cervantes, wrote an immense novel-and actually considered by some people to be the first “modern” novel-entitled Don Quixote [say it, Don Kee-ho-tay]. It’s about a guy who’s infatuated with the idea of being an adventurous knight, a chivalrous gentleman and such. So he gets a horse, a sidekick named Sancho Panza, develops a devotion to a farm girl that he fancies to be a princess, and goes around in search of quests to do, suffering from the total delusion that all the stuff he’s read about courageous knights and the like is true. The most famous example is that he attempts to joust a windmill, believing it to be a loathsome giant. Anyways, the point is, the word “quixotic” refers to a task that is ridiculously impossible, even calling into question the sanity of the person trying to accomplish it, like jousting windmills.

    On the HFW Home page, very lower left is the “Wired’s Geek of the Year” posting, but it is for 2007. The post is dated 1/7/2008.

    Recommendations:
    - Change the title of that post from
    “Wired Magazine’s Sexiest Geek” to
    “Wired Magazine’s Sexiest Geek 2007″

    - Change that “Home” posting to the new post for 2008-2009
    I don’t see a new post for the new “Wired Geek of the Year” link?
    The “2007 Geek of the Year” post is found under the link called “HOMEWORK”.

    There is a huge selection this year and as Wired makes changes, Marina can sometimes appear on the second page. Scroll all the way down and click the “Next” link if you don’t see Marina on the first page.

    The top portion of the first page shows numerous entries for Marina. Wired stated that they would merge those votes into one listing.

    Watch for Wired’s announcement just above the listing for any other directions that they may post.

    Proclaiming Salvation
    Proclaiming peace.” (Isaiah 52:7)
    Oh, but here’s the neat part: “Yeshua” (salvation, or God Saves) is also the real name of Jesus, how his contemporaries called him, before the Greeks/Romans/French/English changed the name to Jesus. Hey…that could be a HFW lesson! :grin:

    “Ma navu” has become a popular Israeli song.

    Hi Marina,

    Have a lovely Christmas. I also have a word to summit. My wife loves sailing whereas I’m a land-lover.

    In the maritime world the word for Toilet Bowl is referred to as the “Head” ? Where did that strange term come from.

    Hotforwords should investigate.

    Be good!
    Love Phil.

    Hi Marina,

    two word requests:

    1: Asshat: does this word come from the implication that someone has their “head up their ass”, as in, they don’t know what they’re doing or talking about?

    2. You once told me to request “Evolution”, and so far, though I’ve requested it in the past, you haven’t done it!

    Thanks.

    Marina I went and voted for you, but there are so many to choose from. I picked the one with the highest number, but now it’s disappeared. Does all of those different entries take away from each one or do they all count for you in the end. I know you are well loved but we don’t want to hurt your chances of winning or getting to a higher mark.
    Have a Merry Christmas today and don’t eat to much. Thank you so much for the beautiful card. :smile:

    ***WORD REQUEST***
    “Jesus” — How did we get this name out of the original “Yeshua”? :?:

    Note to linguistics freaks
    Check out the remarks of KlaxonCow on YouTube under HFW “Salary” lesson. The guy was so excited to see “CantwrCymreig” (“WelshSinger”) on the screen that he wrote a whole dissertation on the Welsh language! :lol:

    Merry Christmas to all

    The closest I get to reading tabloids is seeing what is on the front page while in line at the store.

    I recognized the stone tablet used in this video from a documentary I watched earlier this week.

    С днём рождения, Марина!
    Я знаю, что ваш семейство очень далеко. Но я желаю для Бас, хороший дружи с Бами сегодня!

    Merry Christmas, Marina!
    I know your family is very far away. But I wish for you, good friends with you today! :grin:

    Hi animalntaz,
    The funny thing is that I didn’t eat there (yet). I had my heart set on pizza just around the corner. When I made the turn into the parking area, I had to laugh out loud, grabbed my camera and had to take the picture. I’ll have to go back there and try it. I’ll let you know how it compares to Subway.
