Albeit

Wow, Albeit, I am First

Heck, I might as well be second, albeit I was First.

Three’s a charm, albeit I was First.

I have been up for a long time albeit I’m not tired

Great video, albeit a bit short.. Just kidding. I love that word, and it really annoys me when people say it wrong, so thanks!

I also have a word request for “Media”, thanks!

Hello anyone else here??

YooooHoooo, over here guys, albeit a bit late :lol:

What your albeit :???:

hi: had to deal with the snowplow man…and my camera…great lesson

Yet another great lesson from marina!!

.
Answer to “[Is] this correct usage?”:

“Albeit” dates all the way back to middle English, around 1350, albeit used quite often today.

Most of the words used today have very old roots. So the norm is for words used today to date back a long time — and newly coined words are the exception. One might say that “‘Blooper’ is a newly coined word, albeit used widely in the TV industry today.”; but the two facts that ‘albeit’ is an old word and that it is used quite often today are as one would expect things to be.

So the usage is incorrect.

PS: In the above, I have used “albeit” in a sentence.

PPS: I am going to have to better manage the time I spend here, perhaps to being here only once a day (hope not once every two days).

I never say albeit!
That word is stranger for me!
Marina good video. good explanation! :-)

Being to be good…way to go pedanticKarl :razz:

Dear HorForWords,

Albeit every thing you say is cute (ok, HOT), I will always remember you saying Albeit. :!:

Your Student,
ThoughtOnFire

Albeit, my new favorite word. :cool:

Hello HotForWords Voting Fans. Quick update.
Marina’s votes are making excellent progress,
moving more quickly towards first place.

I am watching 3rd place Kari Bryon who is on the move,
albeit is still a very distant 3rd.

Please continue to vote for Marina. The link is in the red dotted box above, just below the video, or click on my name or click here. http://wired.reddit.com/sexygeeks_2008/?s=top

I’m here too, albeit a bit late.

Alphabeit. :grin:

Some people pronounce it ‘all-bay it’ for some reason. Now,I have to clear my driveway of snow, albeit I have a snow thrower.

Albeit… never heard that before.

Hello marina! my name is jose, and I have a word for you… and the word is ………………………………………………………….. ………………………………………….

“TWILIGHT”

tHAnkSs to you
_ _ _ _ _ _
_-´ KISS `-_
^^^^^^^^^^

Hwk: Fun word to use in letters as people tend to take you more seriously, albeit they may not truly understand the word itself or they might think that you are a lawyer :oops: –or more likely just a law student.

Let’s play tag.
Albeit.

Holy competition Batman.
The advertisement for this page is Hot Sarah Palin Calendar?
(Tina Fey is hotter)

But neither holds a candle to the teacher.

Strong, strong victory here, maybe the best first I’ve seen–or the first best, now I’m screwed-up…

.
Some more postscripts:

1) I do not have a TV and so do not know if it is true or false that “… [blooper is] used widely in the TV industry today.” Irrespective of the truth or falsehood of the sentence I wrote, that sentence is a valid sentence with a proper usage for the word “albeit”.

2) Aside: I do not have a TV because if I had one, I would spend all my time in front of it.

3) I like that this lesson not only presents the root, but also seamlessly brings out one of the advantages of knowing the root (pronunciation). Also, the question about proper usage is an excellent question.

Now I really have to step away …

A good lesson Marina, albeit I could not get it to play past 1:36 for some unknown reason ….. :sad:

In the kitchen, Mr. Albeit was talking to Mrs. Albeit about taking out the Albeit’s garbage. Mrs. Albeit refused to do it… and Mr. Albeit said… “well,you cooked it!” The atmosphere in the kitchen was hotter than a french fry albeit the usual fare. :mrgreen:

Albeit some on the dock had an ax to grind some simians waited patiently for Mustache Pete, for they had an organ to grind.

Дорогая Марина Орлова, So, you posted the “out-takes” from the “albeit” video before you posted the video, itself! No wonder we didn’t know from which video you took the bloopers! :!:
For extra credit, here’s two examples of use of the word, “albeit.” :grin:
Your dress is very revealing and has much cleavage, albeit not as deep a cleavage as some other dresses, nor does this dress have as thin shulder straps as some other dresses of yours, which had spagetti straps. This dress is comparatively modest. :smile:
I dreamed about you last night. We were sitting on a sofa but Gorby was between us, and Gorby would go from one of us to the other and back again. Well, I started to tell you jokes. You laughed politely at first. and tilted your head a little to laugh. Then, my jokes got better, and you laughed harder, tilting your head back to laugh out loud. You git tired and curled up on your side of the sofa and went to sleep, with your knees nearly up to your chest, your right arm over your legs, and you were breathing well, and had a little smile on your face. As I reached over to carry you to bed, I was transported away and found myself on my own bed. I was happy to have made you happy, albeit sad because it was just a dream. :sad:
До следующего времени, seesixcm6

A great lesson Marina. I have never used the word until now in my sentence for home work.

It is cold out side here on the East coast albeit I think it might snow or at least get some sleet.

Homework :cool:
Albeit Marina you had a tough time in the out takes with the word albeit, this was an AWESOME lesson! :grin:

It is short-sleeves in the sun on the best part of the west coast. I have sent off to Abercrombie & Fitch for a snow flake so I can see what it’s like.

However, it looks like I will have to break out my cold weather gear, because according to this (temp. link) it’s going wayyyy down by the end of the week. :mrgreen:

I lived in D.C. for eight years and I don’t miss it one bit. For those who say they need “the seasons,” I say, “Pbbbbbt!” That’s what a calendar is for.

And where did “holding a candle” to something come from?

:lol: :lol:

Was this picture in the calendar of
Sarah Palin :twisted:

:eek: I sometimes use this word….. Good lesson M

Albeit dang, PK made it first. Congratz pal. It was 9:27 when you posted it was 12:27 here and I was snuggled in my bed. :lol:

Homework: Y’all wanna play hide ‘n’ seek?
Ok – y’all go hide ‘n’ albeit. i give you just
ten Mississippi’s to gwan git. :mrgreen:
heh heh!

Have you figured out the Easter egg in the blooper video yet? I can’t find it. Whoa is me :sad:

HMM I would like to do a collab with Misscupcake and Marina :idea:

Hey fellow members. Just a quick tip. If you have a HP laptop with a model number that starts with DV6000 you are covered under a enhanced warranty. My sons DV6324 HP just went out and after checking the HP web site seems the DV6000 series has got problems. They sent us a self addressed carton and prepaid label and replaced the mother board at no cost to us. His computer was over 2 years old. So it pays to check with the web sites on certain broken items. It took ten days to send it and get it back. Works excellent again.

I think that’s called a Ménage à trois. Shame on you James. :lol:

Marina, I can’t imagane you saying “I’ll-bite” instead of “all-be-it”, albeit I do admit to having a few fantasies.

Would you be willing to try a little hanky-panky?

As a word request, of course.

As always, thank you for your consideration.

What are the bulbs you are forcing in the background? Are they paper white narcisis?

Homework: I am still still thoroughly stumped with CJ’s ‘Easter Egg’ puzzle, albeit I believe said surprise to be use of a new blue/green screen for this, and possibly other videos

I like your videos albeit you are so smart and beautiful!
I know now what is ALBEIT!
Thanks Marina, nice lesson! :-)

Very interesting lesson, Marina. Thanks.
You know, watching the expressive way you “talk with your hands”(which is really cute) gave me an idea. Why don’t you do a lesson sometime with your hands tied behind you? I’ll bet you could pull up some blooper footage from that! Maybe do a word like bondage, or bound. Just a thought. Might be pretty fun.
Always.

Compound words can be are pronounced easily, albeit, there are exceptions.

I will vote in the next election, albeit I don’t trust politicians any further than I can throw them.

And for the record, my suggestion, albeit seemingly a little kinky, was not meant to encourage any sadomasochistic intent or behaviour.

y’all go hide ‘n’ albeit!

Ha ha ha ahaha ahha ah hah a ha h!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Marina, how about the word ‘Snooker’?

Now that would make for an interesting video. Word request bondage, and tie or fix your hands where you can’t use them to help you talk. Good one Originalistrick. :wink:

Marina could you give us another clue to the Easter egg in the Blooper video?

I have to agree with your answer to today’s homework. Your thoughts are clearly explained and correct, albeit your use of capitalization is a bit askew.

It should be spelled Middle English, since “Middle” is part of the proper noun.

Note to self: Check to see if “askew” has been covered in a past lesson.

I must admit. I voted for both Marina and Kari. I hope that doesn’t get me detention – :wink:

I definitely spend too much time with my nose buried in a book because I use albeit all the time. :lol:

Homework: “The price we paid for the lamp was rather high; albeit fair considering how old it it.”

guff guff

Did I stumble on the egg here without knowing it was the egg?

You did the video really well albeit you have a hard time pronouncing the word :mrgreen:

According to the dictionary, you are correct about the need to capitilize the ‘M’ in ‘Middle English’. I saw this and this. I do not properly understand the material at those links (which has to do with language theory and history). But I did notice that while Sinhalese is considered an Indo European language, south Indian languages such as Tamil and Kannada are not.

Marina is and has something so precious and rare in this world today. What is the word for it? Maybe there isn’t one. But I know “what” it is.
She is invaluable. She can take you to a speacial place that cannot be found in this world today anymore, where women don’t act like women anymore. But Marina is a real woman.

The background when your wearing the black outfit is the exact same background when your wearing the red outfit right down to the rinkles on the bed(minius the thingy on the bed). It kindda looks like the lesson in red has been put over a “background”.

I am not going to take hs4mm find as I think he found the answer. He deserves the credit if it is truly the Easter Egg. But the beginning of the Blooper video was recorded on the same day as GTWG Xl as Marina is wearing the same dress and holding Gorby in the left hand on one video and the right hand in the other video.
Good observation hs4mm, if that is the correct answer. :grin:

I really goofed up on this one Capman! I had you looking at the wrong lesson. I’m embarrassed. :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: I’m juggling many things this week and not getting enough sleep. Go and check out the correct video here: http://www.hotforwords.com/2009/01/09/contumelious/#comment-103237

http://www.hotforwords.com/2009/01/09/contumelious/#comment-103237

Go to this lesson PD. http://www.hotforwords.com/2009/01/09/contumelious/#comment-103237

There is no way anyone could have found it for I had them on the wrong video lesson. :oops: :oops: :oops: See what the lack of sleep gets you? I need to start back on my nightly drink.

Drink one for me pal. I know how it is not being about to get some much need sleep.

It’s a real pain in the ass. I’ve tried many other sleeping aids and they make me groggy all day. I even changed the times I work out times to see if that helped but that doesn’t make a difference. I would not have to have a nightly drink if I could find a better solution. Though I like how it puts me in a very good mood. Nice stress reliever.

Hey there! A female friend of mine and I were talking about the phrase “nice rack” — used to describe a woman with an ample bosom — and where it may have come from. Does it have something to do with ribs (e.g. “nice rack of lamb”) or is it something else? Looking forward to the answer! :smile:

Hey CapManNineOneOne – Vote 4 Marina how is it?
Snuggles in bed is good. I just got up again.

Yes, my guess regarding the Blooper Egg, is here.
Whadya thimk?

It was a good day at work today, albeit I never stopped moving; at least I was not bored.

Oh, it looks like Captain Jack was on the wrong video.
Looks like The Easter Egg is in the Contumelious video?
I’ll have to pick up there later.
Gotta run.
Later gator….

I am a philologist myself and, from my earliest childhood, I have had that special fondness for words -especially for those like redolent wine, or those having a singuar sound quality-. Some words speak distinctly of bygone times or peoples. Some are “performative” like “spook”, or
“smother”. Some, powerfully descriptive like “crestfallen”. The word “stooge”, in the sense of “minion” or “sidekick”, will always be associated with “The Three Stooges” -Mou, Larry & Curly- who made the great comedy series in the 30′s with so many followers ever since. Surely, our nubile Russian philologist, who has drawn thousands of people to the rewarding world of etymology, will be able to tell us about its origin!

I received a painful, albeit small, injury to my finger the other day which is making it very difficult to type.

Captain, re: sleep, I have 3 solutions for you and I bet at least two of them you never heard of, and all 3 work. I’ll message you later around 3 AM tomorrow, and then you can share -w all if you wish. None of them make you groggy, and 2 are natural, the other semi natural.

See ya later, gotta run.

I have been watching Hot For Words for over a year now Albeit religiously, and I am entertained as well as impressed with your beauty and knowledge.

XOXOXOX’S

Gary

I have been staring at Marina’s January picture on her calendar for the last 2 weeks and I’ve been a good boy by not skipping ahead to look at the other pics until that month rolls around. It’ hard but the self-denial is going to be worth it.

I’LL BET “I’ll beat” you to this sentence,albeit strange but ALL is BEAT! :mrgreen:

If that really were Sarah Palin, I’ve got a “POLL” for her rack! :mrgreen:

But somebody must have photo shopped her head on porn star Lisa Ann’s body, who starred in that adult parody “Nailin’ Palin.”

WORD REQUEST: trip the light fantastic :grin:

i used albeit in a sentence in my comment on the Out-Takes 1 vid, albeit i’ll be happy to use it again…

there you go, annudder sentence constructed by annuddermale… :cool:

hi!!

I have a word request please … the word is LAPTOP … I actually used instead of a PC but I don’t what is the origin of that word .. thanks a lot :)

by the way, I voted for Sexiest Geek and when I did it I saw that a lot of people vote versus you :( … I hope you have a good ranked .. bye

Frankenstein was supernaturally perceptive and intelligent, albeit insane, while Moriarty, both his equal in cognitive powers and able to feign placid sanity at will, was in fact the most nefarious fiend in the history of English literature.

Hello! I’m wondering how the word “staff” was used in many cultures to describe a weapon, and how it is used now as, a “staff” of employee’s…

I want to know about the word “twitipated”

Where did the word “OK” come from?

`Acting has become less about trademark voices, more aboutVERISIMILITUDE`
I read this in the Chicago Tribune the other day, and was like…”Where did I see this word before? Umm! O’yea! I remember! It’s one of the words I have been trying to get teacher to investigate.

So here is my word request for today. Can you guess what it is?…That’s right…
VERISIMILITUDE

Also. What about the word

“Protocol”

jmims, click on this LINK – OK has been done already.

I have made many word requests and albeit none has ever been chosen, I will still try again.
uff da :!:

I love the suggestion! Perhaps Marina would be willing to dance while giving us the background? Hmmmmmm?

I know Marina is the sexiest internet geek, Albiet are Whacked.

Maria,
can you help with the origin of the word Appetite?
Dr Dudney, Eating Disorder Psychiatrist in Tampa.

Maria,
Can you please help me find out where the word “Kiss” comes from? and does it really have to do anything with kissing?

Hey Maria, what does the word “kiss” come from?

Hello again!
How about the word “psychedelic”. :cool:
Chauuuu!!!

Yes, Your Sexy Geekness…. For you are the teacher; albeit I am your student at your humble service. My homework is done for the day. Thank-You for your insightful lessons they are just fabulous darling. You got my Vote too!

Hello, can you tell me if “Misundersestimated” is a real word? I heard a famous person say it in a sentence yesterday. Thank you. D.Ho

You look very lovely and well rested my dear, albeit you couldn’t sleep Sunday
night :!:

Nice job, Ms. Orlova, of tackling the word “albeit.”

I was watching the great, classic movie, “Back to the Future,” and in the movie, Dr. Brown (played by Christopher Lloyd) exclaims “Great Scott!” so many times that I lost count. However, I would like you to investigate the origins of that phrase when you have a chance.

Take good care and thank you for your efforts in helping us to eschew obfuscation!

my question is what kind of dog is your dog , i dont know if you are going to understand that

what type is your dog ?? sorry if you dont understand Marina

but when you tell me what type of dog your dog is then i wonder if you could study on that word and tell me what it is because i love your dog

Wow, Marina’s hair is so shiny :shock: :cool: ~sparkle sparkle~

:mrgreen:

I’m having a tough time thinking up words Marina could look up on… Maybe I can find some words in my Hamlet book. :wink:

Marina, I’ve been meaning to request this word for a long time. But, I just keep putting it off. :smile: Just when I’m going to post the comment I find something else to do. Oooh! Look at that.. OOPS! Back on track!

The word: procrastination

Thanks so much. Now, if I just can click on the Submit button….

Hello Marina, i have this word: “psychic”
Thanks! your are beautiful!

Albeit, “The fall of Rome” wrote Seneca, “took place when Rome’s pragmatism ceased to be pragmatic.” Albeit the facts of life depends on nature; liberals and policy makers act like they lead in begging for the song and dance of society. Albeit intellegence is judged by lazy forces creating dependence like dope. Why so much play reported by education institutions providing the peasantry pseudo dreams? Albeit capital forms from nature and hard work, their dreamers preach a culture washing through song and sports and professional begging. :lol: :wink: :lol: Todays inspiration from IVAN TURGENEV…nihilism lives :lol: “Lost principles have led to lost control” :grin: love

ayo marina whuss really good mami, just wanted to see if you could look up the word Gangster and affliated with that word is thug so i gues its two words

“Miss Marina Orlova, albeit a beautiful and very sexy young blond woman, can hardly be mistaken for a dumb blond bimbo. ”

Another reason why I like you so much. Like myself, you challenge widely held preconceptions about people by being yourself.

A word long known to me, buts still interesting to watch. This is what they should have done to teach this word in schools worldwide.

Marina,
I have a word i would like you to investigate.
Please investigate “Girlfriend” I know alot of people who
Would want you to investigate this one.

While your at it I would love it if you advertised my
Website, http://www.ripinfinity.com/
Thank you soo much!

by the way i voted for you as Sexiest Geek of the Year :)

Marina is very intelligent albeit she can seem a bit ditsy.

Marina,

Tell me if this is proper usage of albeit in a sentence,
I see whorebait as speech works albeit disgusts most whom read the word here in this forum.

The question remains what are you to do about it?

animalntaz this is a pretty random question but, is you’re gravitar Sora from kingdom hearts :?: ? :?:

I go in sql now! bed! :neutral:

why is today’s comments so little ? :???:

tulips

I’d like to know what does the word “doilie” means , And where does it come from? :grin:

Hello ripinfinity, thank you for voting for Marina.

Marina, that was a wonderful lesson. I think I may have heard the word pronounced correctly only a few times. I think most people that I have heard use the word, say it incorrectly like this, “al-bait”.

What’s interesting is that Mariah that made the video request, pronounced it as “al-bite”, which is how a German might pronounce the word based on how one says the word “Arbeit” which means work in German.

The concept of this video may be over the heads of most of her commentors here on the website?

Another query for our trusty one. The word “pun” in the sense of “game on words,” or “double entendre” -as in, “Marina, good harbour for our moorings”, seems to have an uncertain origin which most authoritative refence leave unexplained. (Nothing indecent hinted in this particular one which is, mainly, intended as a compliment).

Great video.

I have a word request.

I would like a clarification on an expression that I have a few times.

When talking about addiction.
What is the proper expression, is it “I am back on the wagon” or “I fell off the wagon” ? Where does this come from?

Hi resident,

Both expressions are correct. “To fall off the wagon” means to go get drunk (or take whatever else one might be addicted to.)
“Back on the wagon” means to give up alcohol or other addiction.

With regard to HFW, “back on the wagon” might mean limiting one’s time to watching one video per day; “falling off the wagon” might mean watching 20 vids and spending three hours reading and posting comments on the chat pages. :lol:

Hi Karl,
Trivia: “Arbeit” passed into Japanese as “arubaito.” No joke. :smile:

‘Cause I got here late! :mrgreen:

Don’t assume anything George Bush says is a real word. :!: :lol: :cry:

EvanInBellingham says:
Keep trying, it took me dozens of attempts before she chose one of mine! :grin:

Click the link for the etymology of Twitterpated :grin:

I guess that makes me a waggoner, or just a wag for short. :grin:

Have you seen Marina’s dancing? See the “Abysmal” lesson! :lol:

Shameless Shamus! :lol:

And very nice two lips they are! :lol:

I think the word you’re looking for is charisma. :smile:

Marina, if you ever need help translating Reb English, I could help; my granddad was from Tennessee. :lol:

If my memory serves, al-beit is Arabic for “the house.” E.g.:

Al-Beit Lodge is cozy, albeit affordable! :grin:

Marina doesn’t encourage my puns — because I’m already incorrigible! :mrgreen:

My own investigative abilities are considerable. I will soon attempt to discover the roots of the word SLAVE albeit I would much rather watch you display your considerable talents and reveal them to me -the origins that is. :wink:

I really enjoy coming to the HFW site, albeit I feel like I spend too much time here, and I could spend my time more wisely.

I do the same, albeit I vote for Pauley Parette, also.

Albeits are off.

Hi Marina, I jist signed up. I am learning german and so became interested in etymology and linguistics. Normally I can find the origin of a word in the dictionary etc but I can’t find the following word anywhere:- ROOT (australian dialectical, meaning sex). It seems to always elicit laughter or a wry smile but no-one knows why.
p.s. well done on the cool site :cool:

p.p.s. I always wrote albeit as “all be it” and have never come across the one-word version here. I guess English syntax is so complicated native speakers have no idea what is going on….

I’ll bite…porky albeit

HFW Fans: for your listening pleasure
While you are browsing comments, here is Russian song Катюша (Katjusha).Enjoy! :grin:

Amen to that. :sad: It’s a lot like drinking with one’s buddies in the bar — albeit without the hangover after. :grin:

albeit

It is true – my dictionary does not list a derivation for “root” used in the sense you mention.

However, bulls, and the males of other species engage in a type of behaviour that most humans would think is disgusting – they nuzzle the genitals of the female with their snout which stimulates her into urinating. Using an organ which is I think just under their top lip they then “smell” this urine to see if the female is receptive or not. Now, in my part of the world (Southern England – may be a dialectal usage – I don’t know) this behaviour is sometimes called “rooting” – I presume from the same origin as the behaviour of pigs rooting about in the ground for food. And I guess the Australian slang usage came from this – but it is a guess.

Slightly against my guess is the fact that the Australian slang usage is listed under a different definition than that for the behaviour of pigs – but since the dictionary people apparently don’t know where the slang usage came from then possibly my guess is actually a good one…. Who knows.

One wonders if there are any Australian ladies that can tell us if Australian men are particularly good with their tongues?…

Nick

P.S. It might also have come from the word “rut” and also another similar word that I can’t find in my dictionary at all (so it might be dialectal again) “rutle” and “rutling”.

Nick

Same back…IÅ¡tvánci

Albeit that one may spend more time on this site than one’s wife might like (watching the videos of the pretty teacher), it is, never the less, quite educational :)

One might also say, albeit that my wife is a law abiding citizen, she sometimes wishes she could scratch the eyes out of pretty ladies that I am untactful enough to mention in her presence.

Nick

P.S. Do I get an “A+” for quite long sentences?

Marina,

Would you, please, explain the phrase, “Q.E.D”?

Thank you.

Lady Orlova,

Your awesome medicine is a very-delicious (albeit so very-very far-away) formula!

Here in USofA, the deers rut for sex. Furrows is what John Deere’s moldboard makes when plows. :lol:

Say, would you mind handing me that butcher knife over there? :lol:

It’s Latinish for “so there!”

No, they’re not; they speak Austrailian, which is barely intelligible. :mrgreen:

Evan seems particularly concerned with our mental health. Let’s just end this obsession of his (to free him up for other things) by each of us declaring right here and now that we are crazy.

Here is mine: I am nuts.

And while you’re at it, throw in antimacassar.

Some believe that she can return to normalcy simply by letting her natural hair color grow out. But she wouldn’t have near as much fun. :lol:

It was also the preferred epithet of the Daily Planet’s editor in the Superman comics.

All of a sudden, I feel so depressed. I can’t imagine why. :mrgreen:

That’s a good one, what with its use in programming and interfacing and whatnot nowadays.

Why are you telling us this? Is something afoot? :grin:

I prefer notebook over laptop. Somehow, wiggling one’s joystick takes on a different connotation when the term laptop is used. :oops:

Hi, Jose. We can always use more brainpower around here. Where are you from?

WLIU, it may have come from hunters as a complement to the antlers of a taken deer, moose, elk, etc. They just applied it to a different part of a different species while still complementing the size, shape, etc.

Holy leaping needles in a haystack and then some.
Great find Evan. I had no idea. I should have studied Japanese more than I did when I was there. Thanks for that info.

I’m nuts about nutty HotForWords’ words as words can be nutty at times. Crazy, isn’t it?

Word Request : Toast

Yeah Toast!!

Just for fun. :lol:

CK, I must disagree. I am stark raving sane! :roll:

CK, I must agree. CK is nuts. :mrgreen:

The animated pic at the begining of the most recent vids (Lady M’s eyes) is a really cool shot. Do one of you folks have that pic in a format I can use for my desk top? Capman or M should be able to get that pretty easily. Thanx to anyone who will help. :cool:

:mrgreen: WHERE YOURS SONGS :cool:

Can’t find this ‘Albeit’ video on YT most viewed today list.

Wow, Steve Jobs is stepping down from Apple due to heath-related issuses! :shock:

Can Tim Cook pull it off?

Check page three. :???:

Thought I had already seen it on page two today.

Another Disney movie I don’t like. Apart from children’s fantasy, I think those female characters would turn out to be bitches in real life. :mrgreen:

That got me thinking how Japanese’s “arigatou”, the phrase for “thank you”, was derived from Portugese’s “obrigado.”

Thanks Marina!!!!!! I am glad you like it so. I bet there aren’t very many Russian people living in America that are ladies.

Right……………….. Now I guess you want a pink castle?

Why did you comment here James instead of over at the post? Are you still having issues?

:oops: That was an accident I had 2 comments in 2 tabs and clicked on the wrong one..

hello gorgeous marina,how ya doin? marina whats the origin of when a person in a ship says “ahoy”and is this word still being used today?

Elementary, elementary!
albeit evokes something negative
something negative evokes something heinous
something heinous evokes Frankenstein’s Monster & Moriarty.
Hmmm.. which one…. why not both.
In Madman vs. Monster, bet on the Madman every time. Moriarty was one serious badass, Franky baby wouldn’d have stood a chance against him with a 2:1 handicap.

Nonetheless we are quite safe I think, no surreptitious footsteps with evil intent sneaking around these parts of late. Last I checked the Monster was swimming with the fishes at the North Pole and the Madman was comfortably stowed away in a simulacrum of reality several hundred years into the future (he was so smart he faked out the star trippers into thinking he was benign, just wait until the tech evolves to extract him out of the simulacrum and make him corporeal… then some foreboding will be afoot for sure!)

What about “diggs” as in a place to live – where did that come from?

Unbeknownst to a few here, Marina Orlova, yclept “Lady Marina,” got her title by way of a whippersnapper barely able to shave, albeit one able to spend a few quid on a chunk of sod in Hibernia. :cool:

WORD REQUEST : ICEBERG

eric812 “ahoy” means “Hello”.And yes it is still used today.In the Cezh language for example they say “Ahoy” to greet you.

 
Hello to all of the Voters of the Sexiest Geek Contest.
You guys and gals rock!!! Marina’s votes are accelerating
at a nice clip. Only 2516 more votes to go to take first place.
Please continue to vote. The link is below the video in the red dotted box.

Hello eric812,
Although Marina has not specifically done the origin of the word Ahoy, she did mention it in the fantastic video that she did on the origin of, “Hello”. Check it out.

Hello emanuil_dimitrov,
I answerd eric812 down below and mentioned that Marina has done a video on the word “Hello” and also mentioned how Ahoy was first used. It is a fantastic video to watch.

You changed the opening screen picture, ??? albeit strange?

where did the phrase “faster than a New York minute” come from?

Our Marina is smart, cleaver, funny and entertaining albeit one sexy Ruskie too!!!!!

Night going to take a nap now

that is a wird word! :grin:

Marina is a very smart woman albeit she dresses trashy to gain more fan members, which betters her career, but makes people look down on her in general.

yes, that was a good movie.

Thanks…I’ll Czech it out! :mrgreen:

I don’t suffer from insanity; I enjoy every moment of it! :lol:

“Don’t touch-ee moustache!” :lol:

More needles: the Japanese for “loanword” is gairaigo, itself derived, no doubt, from the Welsh word gair meaning “word.” :cool:

It’s true, I tell you! :mrgreen:

By the way, did I scare away hitoshi-san? I’m afraid Celtic humor may not translate well into Japanese. :sad:

And as Camp would say…“it’s true, I tell you!” :???:

Don’t you diss my Auntie McCassar! :evil:

Aye laddie, is na “great Scot!” a redundancy? :lol: (What say you, Bob?)

seesixcm6,
Do you by any chance remember the Russian for “Meadowland,” as in the song? I was trying to find it on YouTube without much luck, but thought I might do better if I had the Russian name.

Oh yeah, and I apologize for my prior remark. :smile:

AND I KNOW EXACTLY WHERE THEY LOOK DOWN UPON HER! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

New York?

How did we get the term “cunt” to mean a woman’s vagina? how about the word “pussy”?? I just doesnt seem to relate.

Thanks Marina

Rose is in the room

I think it is digs. Maybe it refers to a miner’s place when a mine was a miner’s home.

The two things are not mutually exclusive.

Your self-control is a good thing, too. Unbeknownst* to you, each calendar is equipped with a tiny transistorized, tattle-to-teacher telemetry transmitter (which suits M to a T) that tells if you have been pre-oogling. If you have, instead of the regular calendar being sent next year, you will receive a special “cold-shower” edition — she models extra-thick clothing (suitable for Arctic use) and fully zipped up, too. So, keep up (no pun intended) the good work.

It’s true, I tell you.

*This word was conceived by the same person who made up albeit. He just loves to jam syllables together to make up new words; hereinafter is his masterpiece and intellectual triumph. The low point of his professional career was is-is, which enjoyed nationwide prominence only for a few moments during the Clinton administration.

How do you say “we lost” in Rebel? :mrgreen:

rosiecheeks – earned no doubt from being spanked.

I went to a nearby store around the corner, albeit that the one a mile away had a better selection of beers. :smile:

It’s been two whole days now and you are still holding my name up in ridicule. Stop this madness now.

Signed,

Alvine B. Eit

Howdy, I was wondering if you’d do the word “pilfer” and whether or not it’s related to the word “pelf,” which I just discovered by accident when guessing at letters in an online Scrabble game.

But it’s not a cheaper selection when you factor in the costs associated with a DUI. :!:

So then I must ab-stain. :grin:

Marina, I see you changed the photo on the Bio page. Looks great!
It goes well with this slogan. :wink:

“albeit” includes the “that”; so:

… the corner, albeit that the one …

.
I have asked here and here and here and there, but no one will tell where where is the original video (that was used to make the illusion of Gorby peeking over the edge of the bed in Contumelious) is. :!: :?: :cry: :sad:

The “asked here” should link to .

Who is hotforwords, you ask?
Hotforwords is the man! Albeit she is a woman.

Don’t believe everything you think. :wink:

Was is it that Marina’s fans are not as smart as she is?

My mistake; thank you.

rosiecheeks: good to see you back nice pictures with this one :wink: :lol:

The talent show was interesting. Albeit the preformers were all weirdos.

“Our teacher is so sexy she is a little bit crazy” :shock:

“Our teacher is so sexy albeit she is a little bit crazy”

It is raining outside in New Mexico, albeit it is a sunny day.

How are you?…John Mellencamp – Hurts So Good

Bazooka Bubblegum Cocktail~~~~~~~

Eben Freeman, bartender of Tailor Restaurant in New York City, developed this bubblegum-infused vodka cocktail. The drink gets its name from Bazooka bubblegum, but Freeman prefers to use Double Bubble because it gives the vodka better color and flavor. This recipe makes enough bubblegum-infused vodka for eight cocktails. If stored in an airtight container, the leftover vodka will last indefinitely.

At Tailor, Freeman makes this cocktail with a house-made sour mix, but for the home kitchen, he recommends this combination of lemon and lime juices, simple syrup, and egg white. The egg white adds a nice frothy head to the cocktail, but is optional. If salmonella is a problem in your area, omit the egg white or use pasteurized liquid egg whites.

:razz:
16 pieces bubblegum, preferably Double Bubble, cut in half
2 cups (16 ounces) vodka
1 tablespoon (1/2 ounce) freshly squeezed lemon juice (from ½ lemon)
1 tablespoon (1/2 ounce) freshly squeezed lime juice (from ½ lime)
1 tablespoon (1/2 ounce) simple syrup
1/2 egg white* or 1 tablespoon pasteurized liquid egg whites (optional)
1 cup ice

*The egg white in this recipe is not cooked. If there is a problem with salmonella in your area omit the egg white or use pasteurized egg whites.

Leonard, albeit i am aware u r cute and cool, do u get paid to be on this BACON martini-website-hot for words hot hottie cutie

Rosie, I like your jokes$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ :lol: Nothing much to these lil’ flies. They simply reinforce my love of peacock as one of the 5 best materials (don’t ask) and the fuzziness of wrapped turkey feather fibers turned out to be much fuzzier than when I recently used it for a BWO pattern. This fuzziness is akin to wrapped pheasant tail barbs. Fragile though, hence the ribbing. But, the turkey did give a nice fuzzy look. Also, look at that bottom pattern. I used the most miniscule piece of Rootbeer Krystal Flash, but look at the twist to it and the colors. I tied all these smaller on the size 16 hook. I also didn’t resort to the curved shank pupa hook. Mostly just dinking around to see how materials look through the lens and to play with presentation. Winter/early spring are great times to fish small midges given the limited hatches.
:lol: Well this works…have a drink…the blue awards at the STReaMies :P
