    I can’t make out what trix denotes as a suffix … “latin feminine agent/asian mouse”? (Write this out?) I have not seen any matrix movie.

  • http://www.youtube.com/xxstokjrj1xx John

    Yes I liked the last Matrix Movie not as well as the first two however.

    How about the origins of the word Tattoo. I’ve heard several possible and not so probable ideas, not nothing solid.

    The problem with the Matrix series is that the first five minutes of the first movie are the best from the whole set. Cool effects.

    Oh yeah! Canned rats! tof. Good job.

    Did you like the Grammys?

  • hs4mm

    Oh Good that I am hearing what she is saying!

    In aviatrix, administratrix, dominatrix etc. trix is denoting a female agent.

    What’s the mouse for?

    The homeys of Etymologia would like to know how HOTFORWORDS of The Republic of LEXICON: gets her pretty clothes [washed]? Because, I just done did it with my wash machine. I had already washed with other means; so, maybe HotForWords could investigate [soap] and [suds] and Marina’s first musical instrument (all clean freaks): the {wash-board(limestone slab)}. :razz: thank you & God bless you and ecetera :lol:

    Hello Marina,

    This was a very good Game — Congratulations on its Construction and Execution! Please make the next one very hard too.

    Regarding “It’s weird what matrix used to mean, right?” Yes. I wish I had know this when I first heard the word in Algebra class — things would have made much more sense and would have been easier to grasp. I had just assumed “matrix” was an arbitrary sound mathematicians came up with.

    In ancient times, was matrix used predominantly for any one particular type of animal? Cow? Mare? Hen?

    It is also odd that matrix is singular. One would think people kept one or a few male animals (e.g., stallions) and several females for reproduction — so one would expect a collective noun for “female animals kept around for reproductive purposes”.

    What is the masculine form of matrix? Aviator-aviatrix, matron-patron … so “pator” :) ? Stallion?

    Actually the trix part should have been “Trix are for hairs” as there are no native rabbits in North America, they are actually hairs.

    I’m glad you’re back from the Grammy Awards. I hope you enjoyed the event. Was the music better live and in person than on TV? I hope you took some photos.
    I never saw any of the Matrix movies. They weren’t interesting to me. I never liked Trix cereal, either. It was too sugary. Probably unhealthy, too.

    Good question, hs4mm.
    My initial reaction was “stud” but that can apparently apply equally to brood mares and other matrices as well as to the establishment that keeps them.
    Marina, [what's the male equivalent of a Matrix]?
    This may be the start of a new “Reverse Guess the Word Game”.

    Hey Marina,

    Since you are the word expert maybe you can help. The longest technical word belongs to a protein that is important to muscle tissues. The word is 189,819 letters long. How do you pronounce this word and how did they come up with it? The link for the word is below, thanks.

    Hi, Marina
    were did the word [octuplets] come from that means 8
    and why does the word october mean 10 not 8.

  • Dogpile

    Dear Marina,

    While recently playing a game of [euchre], another player referred to the 4 cards left over after dealing the hands as the [kitty]. I have heard the term used to refer to a spare supply of cash but can you get to the bottom of the meaning of [kitty]? And while you’re at it, how about [euchre]?

    Just like a Hessian quadratic matrix, and although a bit hard to compute in practice, the functional determinants shaping up your local curvature are very well defined (colour-independant) and almost perfectly tuned.

    You are without a doubt a very unique medium-scaled optimization coefficient of some local Taylorian expansional magmatic function. I presume you can climb a rock whenever you want to and wherever you choose to. :smile:

    for those of you who are N.Y. Yankee fans you have to b very disappointed on what you all heard today . I’ve seen why A-Rod or I should say A-Fraud was so good in 2001-2003 with the Texas Rangers :shock: . I’m glad the Chicago Cubs did not sign him.

    I didn’t hear her say anything about a vagina!

    I liked all of the Matrix movies.

    LOOK PEOPLE!! THIS IS HOW A THREAD SHOULD BE!!

    NOT SCATTERED ALL OVER THE PLACE LIKE SOME MOST OTHERS!!

    Well you don’t have to yell. I think the thread is like it should be. I don’t see it scattered any where.

    I know, I just felt like saying it. Yay! I have the longest thread………

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

    If you want to know what I think Marina, I think that GTW should be once a fortnight. Otherwise. We lose a lesson on the game and all the comments are the same which can be quite boring seeing everyone just posting what the last person posted.

  • hs4mm

    I thought you apologized and said you would quit shitting all over the HFW site.

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

    Thanks. I just feel down sometimes that the only people that seem to comment on my videos are people from here. Also the only time I ever get semi decent views are when the video has someone else other than me in it.. I can’t get recognized off the back of others work all the time can I, it’s so fucking annoying. I haved stopped spiking my own views too, which I wish I hadn’t because now I see how few views I get. I know these things don’t come straight away but, I have been doing videos for a year now… And I still don’t have much in the way of views. But in people I have met on the net, it’s brilliant.

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

    I lied! No, what I said was I wouldn’t just see something and hack it. I have been trying YouTube ATM.

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/fatbuffalo fatbuffalo

    I think Reloaded is the most action packed … come to think of it , I’m going to download the whole set , don’t really understand what the movies meant because i watched them when i was a kid ==

  • orion_ss1

    If a matrix is a female kept for breeding purposes, how did the term ‘matrix’ come to mean an array of numbers used for solving ( among other things ) simultaneous equations?

    A ( mathematical ) matrix can be added, subtracted, and multiplied ( but NOT divided; although if the matrix is invertible you can multiply by its inverse) to or by another matrix ( with constraints to their relative sizes – a little bit complicated to explain here ).

    Enquiring minds want to know.

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

    DUDE!! Congrats :grin:

  • hs4mm

    .

    orion_ss1,

    From the meaning “womb”, matrix went on to mean

    something within or from which something else originates, develops, or takes form

    In solving a set of simultaneous linear equations, the symbols used for the variables are irrelevant — the essence of the solution lies in the coefficients and the vector on the right. To solve the equations, one performs row and column operations on the rectangular arrangement of numbers — so

    (the solution) originates, develops, or takes form (from the rectangular arrangement of numbers by a process, not of sex and incubation, but of row and column operations)

    .

    Hence the term “matrix” is appropriate to the rectangular arrangement of numbers one writes out for solving the set of equations.

    As I wrote in Comment 13 below, I wish I had known this when I first learnt about matrices!

    I never saw the “Matrix 3″ fully. {Don’t hit!} The word “Mater” has been used in a Dario Argento horror movie trilogy known as the “Three Mothers”. In the first movie, “Suspiria”, the witch was refered to as ” Mater Suspiriorum”-the Mother of Sighs. In the sequel the second “Mother” was called ” Mater Tenebrarum”-the “Mother of Darkness/Shadows. In the final movie-”The Mother of Tears” she was “Mater Lachrimarum”.

    Sorry,

    We lost the password years ago, cannot change anything. We made all of it in one weekend. And a lot of the links don’t work anymore, and there was some sounds on the website too. And a lot of abstract art by my brother. There were also polls, like which pill to take, red or blue?

  • pennsyltucky9

    Thanks, Mike. Whoa, talk about your traveling incognito… I would never have recognized you without the fishbowl :razz: !

    Yes to both. After all, looking for work is the equivalent of goofing off, at least in this here economy, anyway. :cry: I guess I should be out trying to make an honest living instead (stealing hubcaps & mugging gradeschoolers for lunch money)! Seriously, I wish I could have stayed in school for a couple more semesters just because the job market is such a bottomless pit. But NO-O-O!

  • andromeda

    I bailed on 2 and 3 (just saw bits and chunks of 3 while traveling on biz at some hotel many years back but to a first order approximation it appeared unwatchable) but 1st I thought creative and thought provoking; liked the “virtual comic book brought onto screen” in the opening sequence, very memorable when the chick in tight black outfit jumped through the window went ass over applecart down the stairs and bounced up with the two guns waiting for the Agent; also the phone booth escape just following was exciting. I’d give it my vote for best action movie scene ever. At that point on first view im sittin there going wtf?!?! … really a good setup for the rest of the flick. Intentional bail on 2 and 3 not to ruin the good memory of 1. Dig good comics greatly and a good comic book based movie = utopia of entertainment for this here nerd.

    Marina,

    How come there are video responses on YouTube, some over 2 min long, that have nothing to do with HotForWords?

    Did you actually approve them, or is someone trying to cash in on your audience? Did you approve a short word request video, and did they then change the video to a long video unrelated to HFW?

    I did not like the first Matrix movie, and saw none of the sequels.
    The “we are living the dreamers dream” plot line is overused to me, and Keanu Reeves is not that great of an actor.

    Recently, there has been the news story of a mother of six children who has given birth to eight more. It might be appropriate for the YouTube title to cash in on this news item, perhaps, “Birthing octuplets” or “Mother of fourteen” etc.

    In my opinion, it is proper for only an animal to be a matrix. A human female, such as the woman in the news, who makes herself into a matrix is behaving irrationally.

    The primary purpose of sex in humans is enjoyment (not procreation); birth-control and, in instances when that fails, abortion are proper human actions.

    Does that mean you’re cured?
    Or are you just being a ham? :???:

  • chapultepec

    Hi, since there is so much talk about the financial crisis I would like to now the etymology of the word [bankrupt] if i am not wrong this is a kind of interesting story which has its roots in the roman empire. I also would like to know the etymology of [pleonasm] and [oxymoron] if u don’t mind. Thanks a lot ; )

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

    Hi Chapultepec,

    Marina has done Oxymoron; click here.

    ["Bankrupt"] comes from the Italian “banca rotta” or “broken bench.” Interesting story, I hope Marina does it.

    ¿Es Ud. de México? Yo he visitado a Chapultepec — el parque y el castillo, y las estatuas de los Niños Heroes.

    Hi Camp,

    Haven’t seen you yet at the ‘Pun My Word Forum. It’s not exactly up a lazy river by the old mill stream, but might be good for a few chuckles. :grin:

  • excited4etymology

    I was just wondering why your “caption” read “I’m the one”?
    Is Marina married? I’d be heartbroken but happy.

    Aside from that, with valentines day coming up,
    Where did the word flower come from?

    flow = to go with,

    -er = suffix, someone who does

    I go with the flow a lot, but I’ve never considered myself a flower.

  • excited4etymology

    The last matrix movie was not as good as the first.

  • tok-715

    Are we or are we not in the matrix?

    Frankly, there is simply no known method known to humanity that’s capable of unraveling this mystery once and for all.

    Which would you choose, Marina? The blue pill, or the red pill?

  • dquijote891

    can you look the origin of the word Blog

  • Capman911

    Is there a way on Twitter that when someone sends you a regular comment it will show up in your email. If I get a direct message it shows up, but I was wondering about the general messages.

    This is to anyone.

  • BillyB

    No email on replies, but when you look in the “replies” box of your twitter page you see the replies… only your followers see your replies… but if you reply to someone that doesn’t follow you, the reply shows up in their reply box… make any sense?

  • Capman911

    Yes it makes sense. I wish the regular comments could show up in the email as I don’t check my Twitter to often. I miss some comments for a day or two until I check it.

    As Bob said on the GTW Game page, where does one even begin without knowing the definition. These are awesome and challenging brain teasers for sure and again I learned something new. I love these games. Also, excellent video. That horn dog Gorby cracks me up. Where is she? That’s what he said. Too funny.

  • BillyB

    When you’re young, the lenghth of your thread matters way to much. It’s a clitche’, but what matters more is how you use it. The “thread”

  • BillyB

    Yah! but when thousands of people start to follow you, and they will, your email account would explode.

    Hey Mike, I don’t know of a specific Twitter app that does what you ask for, but there are many apps that do fancy things for you.

    Maybe twhirl.org might do what you need. I haven’t checked into the details. Also, Google “twitter with firefox” and you’ll see a many twitter plugins for FireFox. Or search, “twitter apps for windows”. Some of the Twitter apps act like an email client where you are notified of incoming twitters and you can read them as if they were email. Sorry, I don’t have a recommendation, but if I find one, I’ll let you know.

  • javelinscott

    Marina,

    I, like most men, have the propensity to allow our minds to swim in the warm waters of the gutter. I am sure you have been asked to elaborate on a few of these words but one has my appetite for your wisdom piqued. Could you give me the origins of the word [ cunnilingus ]?

    Scott

    PS I have also wanted to learn to speak Russian, could you occasionally give us the Russian translation on some of your words?

  • Capman911

    Marina I have a word request of [Retirant]. Does it have anything to do with a tyrant? I know some of us on here are retirants, but I wanted to keep the word in use as it came from the save the word, words page. :smile:

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

    When you want to check just your replies click on the @replies, then you can just see who replies to you.

    The home page is the default page

    You go into ‘Settings’ and custom tailor your replies under the ‘Notices’ tab

  • Capman911

    Thanks Karl, I’ll check into the plugins for FF and see what they have and look around the internet for something like that. But it could be a disaster like BillyB said if you start getting a lot of twitter emails it could be a head ache. :lol:

  • Capman911

    How do I add a picture to my Twitpic page for my avatar. I have one on my Twitter page but can’t figure out the twitpic thingy.

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

    Mike you don’t have a ‘Most Visited’ tab in your tool bar.
    My Twitter email account is not my main account so I don’t see incoming emails.
    But with the ‘Most visited’ tab I’ll just open a tab and check it out often.

  • Capman911

    Thanks Che.

    Do you mean “recalcitrant”

    1 resisting authority or control; not obedient or compliant; refractory.
    2. hard to deal with, manage, or operate.
    -noun
    3. a recalcitrant person.

    Or do you really just want to say we are ‘retirees’

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

    perhaps recalcitrant retirant

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

    We already know that Lady M is a cunning linguist. :roll:

  • CampKohler – Sacramento CA

    A retirant is a chemical used by employers to reduce the workforce by shedding older workers. It works by activating the goof-off center of the brain, which starts the employee desperately seeking ways to retire. When the employees are not looking, a company human resources worker will casually saunter by their desks or work stations and spray a mist on the workers. The mist induces an almost irresistable urge to leave and play golf.

    It’s true, I tell you.

    Capman911: Do you remember that guy who dropped by the station and showed you a spray bottle of “engine polish.” Now you know.

  • CampKohler – Sacramento CA

    Marina, I want to be your patrix. :mrgreen:

  • CampKohler – Sacramento CA

    I have suggested in the past that M should knock off a Russian version of each lesson and put it on a Russian version of her site, but no response. I have also suggested that commonly-used phrases have foreign language equivalents (and their explanations) given from a group of native-speaking consultants, but no word back on that either.

  • CampKohler – Sacramento CA

    blog = Web log

    Also note the instructions at the top of the reply dialog box regarding putting requests in square brackets. That’s how she finds them now. (By using the brackets, her assistant no longer has to be able to read.)

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

    If Marina did something like this http://www.youtube.com/user/LKGProductions She would get away with it and its so funny. You think its really filthy at first but underneath its SOOOOOOOO Hilarious

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

    “If the shoe fits” :grin:

  • CampKohler – Sacramento CA

    I hope you do realize that you are literally asking M to not do your word.

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

    or maybe just add the Russian equivalent of the word, for instance, the Russian word for Matrix. Spell it out in English, Russian, and Cryllic, and give us the Russian pronunciation. That would be 2 :cool: .

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/animalntaz animalntaz

    I guess some movies were best not to be made into trilogies. I can think of a few other trilogies where the 1st one was good and the other 2 sucked ass, such as Pirates of the Carribean and The Never Ending Story.

  • Capman911

    Yea I remember him and her very well. It WAS the Human Resources Department that came by that day and sprayed me and said good by. But when I retired from my job I got to keep all of my Fire Fighting gear and insignias and badge. About $3000.00 worth of equipment. I had just gotten a brand new set of turn out gear and leather boots. My son is breaking in the boots at the fire department he is on. Miss the people though, but not the BS. :wink:

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

    I thought retirant was a chemical that you drop from helicopters to put out forest fires.

  • Capman911

    They push us out of helicopters too. :lol:

    The book, The Never Ending Story is very good. It is another of those muli-levels-of-understanding type of “children’s books” that have an awful lot to tell us all, similar to Lord of the Rings trilogy and The Chronicles of Narnia. I highly recommend all these.

  • hs4mm

    1) Although this video has had over 31,250 views, it is no where on YoutTube’s Most Viewed pages; any idea why? I suppose only a few at google know — so a better question would be: have there been previous HFW lessons that were in such a situation?

    2) Is it my cache or something such thing or does the YouTube browse page now have Most Viewed as its dafault (albeit second) tab?

    I think the unemployment rate here in Canada went up 1% last month & everybody seems to be panicing.
    In the 80′s it was 5% at least, higher than it is now, no panic & interest rates were like 14% & higher. no panic.
    The power of the media drives the frenzy level up exponentially (I don’t have time to check my spelling today)
    If you get some Job experience James, Make sure it’s a job where you deal with real people, it’ll be an eye opener for you I’m sure. Oh! & makes sure it’s “F-U-N”… I had a riot (almost literally) when I was young in my first few jobs.

    I now realize that your job is not ‘to give us all the answers,’ but rather to inspire us to find the answers for ourselves and our [families].

    Still, someone’s got to [stir] the servants to turn to you and follow, someone who pledges his stirrer to you and you alone (as many would gladly do!)
