Sergeant

Hello

hello

she’s just odd.

Goldbrick

Lesson … begs the question … origin of [esquire].

She is, isn’t she! Oh wait…. :shock:

True military story.
Foreign General comes up to me.
“I Want Coffee”
I thinking get your own damn coffee @$$ hole.
Turns out he just wanted to have a friendly conversation with one of my guys who just happened to be named, you guessed it, “Coffee”.

Hee! I like the blooper segment. Gunnery Sergeant R. Lee. Ermey, however, would be like “WHAT IS YOUR MAJOR MALFUNCTION!?!?”. :mrgreen:

Sacrebleu!

That girl deserves a coffee!!!

Keep a tank of helium around do you? Lance Corporal, Corporal, Private, Lieutenant, Captain, Major, Commander, Colonel, Lt Colonel and the four stars of the rank of General. :smile:

Fudge goes great with milk. :grin:

Marina,

I took awhile to find it, but this one fits the theme just for you.

are the flowers “lily of the valley” fragrant .. is a queen, like a king ?…an answerable title :razz: ***HotForWords***rules and measures :razz:

How about a Valium. :lol:

HW: Lieutenant Commander

BTW – The tulips look fansastic.

this song has British-navy slang [captain]***MARINA rOcKs***

Our Sergeant Major [slackers] banjo :lol:

You look great, Sarge., but maybe you could use a furlough.

Marina: ya ever see this one GEORGE FORMBY (1933): With My Little Ukelele in My Hand or Beetle Bailey army cartoon :cool:

In the Navy the REAL power lies with the Chiefs ( and one would be wise NOT to think of them as servants ). First Class Petty Officers wield a lot of power as well; Second and Third Class PO’s, not so much.

I was a First Class ( AWV1 ) before I became an Ensign ( theoretically senior, but not in practice ). I retired as a Lieutenant ( O3E ), one of a very few officers with a Good Conduct Medal ( only awarded to Enlisted Men ).

Ah, Marina,

How you can be so funny and cute, yet so sexy and hot at the same time…
Thanks so much for the outrageous lesson. Truly enjoyed it!
Have a great week.

Always.

tank art…i promise, no more and the alter boy died The Doors – Unknown Soldier peace :wink:

Those who serve in the military would know. I can only wonder what a real Sergeant HotForWords would be facing if she saluted her Commanding Officer in such a way (tsk tsk). And to think that we brought you up better, Marina. Our proud men and women should get a proper salute.

On a lighter note, it is nice to see you wearing red this weekend.

Very nice lesson.

What is a proper salute?

The outtakes are hilarious at double speed…or is it less than double?
Other ranks: Specialist, Colonel, Lieutenent Colonel, General, Major, Major General, Captain, and that’s all I can think of at the moment.

Your salute was perfect(for this vid)!

In the Navy, I was a Petty Officer. I always wondered how they had the brass to actually call me petty. :???:

Dear совершенная Марина Орлова, I’m sure most sergeants will tell you to keep your fingers together when you raise your hand for a salute. You look wonderful in a red dress and that Army fatigue cap likely has never been on a more beautiful woman! :grin:
I’m glad you took a day off on Valentine’s Day and I hope you had a happy day! When I mailed my Valentine’s Day card to you, I knew I might be just one of many, but I still wanted to mail it to you! I hope your day was happy and that you feel appreciated by so many of us. :razz:
Some other ranks in the Army are: Private, Private First Class, Corporal, Sergeant, Sergeant First Class, Master Sergeant, Sergeant Major, Command Sergeant Major, Second Lieutenant, First Lieutenant, Captain, Major, Lieutenant Colonel, Colonel, Brigadier General, Major General, Lieutenant General, and General. (I had four of those ranks.)

I reached the rank of Petty Officer 1st Class… and I always wondered why the word Petty was used for this “esteemed position”. Maybe, Captain Jack has the answer… we must investigate! :grin:

How to salute: Raise your right hand with fingers together and flat palm and raise it to touch the right brim of your hat. Keep your elbow up, to at least the level of your chin. If you are returning the salute of an enlisted person or a junior officer, you must bring down your salute swiftly, so that they won’t need to hold their salute too long. It’s a formalized greeting with centuries of history.

Tchaikovsky, 1812 Overture (Finale) good job at 4 of those ranks, seesixcm6 :cool: REEL 1 – 1918 REMOUNT AND VETERINARY ACTIVITIES IN THE AEF…signal corps run that message :razz:

Hmm… other military ranks….
How about these ranks in the USMC?

O10 Commandant of the Marine Corps (a billet, not a rank)
O10 General (Gen) (4 Stars)
O9 Lieutenant General (Lt Gen) (3 Stars)
O8 Major General (Maj Gen) (2 Stars)
O7 Brigadier General (Brig Gen) (1 Star)
O6 Colonel (Col) (“Full Bird”)
O5 Lieutenant Colonel (Lt Col) (Silver Oak-leaf)
O4 Major (Maj) (Bronze Oak-leaf)
O3 Captain (Cptn) (2 Silver bars “Railroad Tracks”)
O2 First Lieutenant (1st Lt) (1 Silver Bar)
O1 Second Lieutenant (2nd Lt) (“Butterbar”)
W02-05 Chief Warrant Officer (CWO2 – CWO5)
W01 Warrant Officer (WO)
E09 Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps (SgtMajMC) (a billet)
E09 Sergeant Major / Master Gunnery Sergeant (SgtMjr/MGySgt)
E08 First Sergeant/Master Sergeant (1Sgt/MSgt) (3 up, 3 Down)
E07 Gunnery Sergeant (GySgt) (3 Chevrons & 2 “Rockers”)
E06 Staff Sergeant (SSgt) (3 Chevrons and a “Rocker”)
E05 Sergeant (Sgt) (3 Chevrons)
E04 Corporal (Cpl) (2 Chevrons)
E03 Lance Corporal (LCpl) (Chevron w/crossed rifles)
E02 Private First Class (PFC) (Chevron – “Mosquito Wings”)
E01 Private (Pvt) (No insignia “Slick Sleeves”)

Do not forget to keep that wrist straight. The whole action should be sharp and crisp.

For those who served, a friendly joke…

Q: What’s the difference between a Corporal and a 2nd Lt?

A: The Corporal has been promoted 3 times

I Just gave myself a blackeye!!!! :shock:

I can’t imagine any military personnel having a problem with Marina’s salute… so says SSgt Dez :mrgreen:

In fact, keeping military bearing while being saluted by Marina may be a true test of military discipline.

Had Marina been a part of a military organization, we would expect her to salute “correctly”. As a civvie, she did just fine.

Yes she is, and that is just peachy with us. :roll:

1812?

I like this dance. :smile:

Lets hear cheer for the Dogs, horses and pigeons who served in WW1 PS-Marina…could Gorby get [drafted] :roll: [infan.try] :oops: [draft dodger](tea sipper)Baron versus Beagle – The Original “Dogfight”…Gorbys hero :razz:

.

Your salute is appropriate in the context of this lesson.

For wider context, googling (“how to salute” site:www.youtube.com) brought up comprehensive instructions on saluting in various situations – guy seems serious enough to be more or less correct in his instructions.

Googling without “site:” qualifier brings up documents on how to salute.

What’s the writing in red on your cap?

–Hs4Mm
.

:oops: may i have permission to continue speaking in room?

Talking about salutes Marina, I always wondered at the true origin of the formal bow. It is a bit like offering your head to be lopped off. No wonder people just nod these days.

Well now I know the defination of- adorable.
Coffee or Cup of Joe? Was there some SNAFU?
First you were a Colonel, then a Lieutenant and now you’re a Sergeant.
Maybe it’s all about the salute.

thanks…very long book to read “War and Peace”…God Bless the Russians The Beatles – Let It Be (1970) :wink:

I laughed the same way after watching this show.

Salutes Jeorney: The White Horses TV Series “start sequence” :smile:

:grin: that salute you gave there is “hand me a pair of binoculars”

Marina what does it say on your cap in red :?:

:mrgreen: high ranking officers use that salute during active duty. binoculars needed to survey the battlefield

Dear HotForWords,

Nice Hat :mrgreen:

YourStudent,
ThoughtOnFire

Sergeant HotForWords – The Marina Corps :cool:

Funny :mrgreen:

I just looked at my salute again.. and you are right!!! It’s SOOO bad!! :-)

:lol:

Petty here means small – as in under the ‘real’ officers. A PO1 does have a little authority; in aviation the difference between AN and PO2 wasn’t negligible, but it wasn’t near the difference between a CPO and a PO1. I made it to AWA2 and then went to college ( where I made AWV1 ) on a Navy scholarship ( NESEP ) and retired as a LT.

Technically CPOs are also Petty Officers, but I’d hate to be the one to break the news to one.

I thought it’s good.

The Best for the Marina Corps :cool:

That tune does weird things to me :smile:

*gallops away on a marshmellow horse over a candyfloss cloud

.

Your remark properly ends with a smile :smile: . The lesson has an undercurrent of hilarity (boisterous merriment or laughter). During the salute, observe the seriousness of your bearing which contrasts with the sloppiness of the salute and thereby adds to the hilarity. Moreover, were this lesson to be made in a manner that is true to a military setting then there would be no arguments and explanations between you and your sister — your sister would be demanding that you “give her ten” push-ups for insubordination to her order for coffee!

What is written in red on your cap?

.

Homework: Colonel, Captain, Admiral, Major, Lieutenant, Private, Corporal, General, Yeoman. Is Grunt or Gofer (as “go fer this, or go fer that) one?

PS to 16.2.2: The beginning few seconds of the video help set the tone for the rest of the video. In the beginning few seconds of this video, everything is serious — except for the sloppy way the hand is used in the salute. And it is the contrast that helps set the tone of hilarity. And as the video continues, the hilarity continus to builds — but not for so long that the video disintegrates into a meaningless comedey — soon, the lesson’s message is inserted.

Just a bloody squaddie..most of German sergeants ((SGT)(StUffze :wink: )) are power-obsessed. (so called “Rekrutenfick” is not related to porn)

BTW: I liked the Larson&Leighton-Barracks – as well as the people – in Germany (PX..cheap Jim Beam :lol: :lol: ). Most of them were good friends.

In your defense, I have seen A LOT worse ……

http://www.ranhead.com/salute.jpg :shock:

Perhaps that is because you’re a lover not a fighter, Marina. : )

About the only military rank I see missing so far among the student body’s homework is the Commander-In-Chief, as in the highest rank in the American military, held by the President of the United States.

On a side note, I wonder how many Presidents have been generals before becoming Commander-In-Chief. George Washington comes to mind first, but there are definitely others like Dwight Eisenhower.

Marina’s funny on helium. :mrgreen:
Here’s an example of what helium abuse can lead to.

Good job…

Went AWOL but now I’m back. :grin:

Andrew Jackson and Ulysses Grant come to mind; Theodore Roosevelt held the rank of colonel.

You give one hell of a peace sign though :razz:

Hi, Che Volay!

Did you skedaddle “After Women Or Liquor”?
Or were you “A Wolf On the Loose”? :D

“Wolf on the Loose” is a heavy metal song by Mastodon, I just Googled it. :shock:

Oh… I had no idea. :-)
I meant it as a variant of A.W.O.L.
I didn’t make it up myself though. They both were humorous alternatives to AWOL, during the 2nd World War.

yo, dez. hows the studying going? i’ve been studying and tutoring so i’m carrying around twice the books. that and i smell like a cadaver, anatomy and physiology.

God Bless America – Celine Dion (With Lyrics & History) *****Republic of Lexicon*****hail :razz:

The British (in films at least) always refer to a “left-tenant” in lieu of Lieutenant…????? I always thought they were socialist renters.

Belated welcome back, Dez! (Your new gravatar threw me off.) :smile:

Ok that was up with that salute soldier?!? Drop and give me forty!… .TOooDAYyyy! The next time is see you salute like that again you’ll be saluting Emperor Penguins in the Antarctica for the rest of your military career!

You been sucking way to much helium! Your outtake was hilarious. It’s funny watching you crack yourself up. I needed a laugh today. It’s been a long and difficult day for me. Thanks! :mrgreen:

Homework: I’m skipping that today. The only rank I need to know about is the one that sits on my shoulder boards. My guess if I scroll down this page, every rank in any service will be posted anyways. Good thing the character limit has been removed.

Other generals: William Henry Harrison, Zachary Taylor, Rutherford B. Hayes, and James A. Garfield.

President Eisenhauer or Eisenhower For President (1952){ …errin, this General won the majority 3 times for Commander-In-Chief and got in trouble with congress, before he was a General, of getting Florida from Spain…Andrew Jackson fights the Bank }:roll:

“I’m not my sister’s servant! Arrggghh!”

You misspelled “Arrrgh” It’s with three ‘r’ one ‘g’ and one ‘h’. Unless of course you have about a gallon of grog in your system then your spelling is completely acceptable.

Forgot Chester Arther, QM General State of NY during the Civil War.

What sound does it make when a wild boar hits a tree?
-”Uffz” (for Unteroffizier=Sergeant)
And what sound does it make when the boar then falls down?
-”StUffz” (for Stabsunteroffizier=Staffsergeant)

Old joke, so you can remember the German acronyms.

Hi Jack,

Do you always give your Sergeants a hard time?
Or maybe you have forgotten the days when you were a mere Seaman, yourself! :D

Is this close?

OMG! I’m addicted to blueberries! I can’t stop eating them! People say they are good for me. Something about antioxidants. Whatever!
I bought some because they were on sale for $4 bucks regular $10 bucks for 18oz/510g. I can eat darn near the whole box in one day. That’s an extra $10 bucks a day. Sometime $20. That’s a nice dinner out vs some berries. I need to find some that are a bit cheaper. Funny thing is black berries are free. Well if you pick them yourself. They are a nuisance in the Pacific Northwest. Anyone know where I might look for a better deal. Local farmers market here sucks.

Please don’t say ‘Hi-jack’. Might get a call from NSA. No wait… they call DHS, which calls the FBI which calls you. No no.. They don’t call.. They just show up at your door at 3 am. Awe never mind. Just kidding… :razz:

I was born a Seaman. One of the best I guess! Something about fast swimming and able to penetrate membranes. Maybe that’s why I’m at home on the water?

Hey Marina,

I think my classmates have pretty much exhausted the list of names of other military offices. Like the others, I enjoyed the outtakes, but you should play them at normal speed. Also, don’t censor yourself; we’re all adults [or something like that] here.

General , private , private first class , lieutenant , colonel (mmm …KFC) , captain and lots more .
Get me some coffee too :mrgreen:

ahh , thats a sperm cell , whereas semen are the combination of sperm cells and those seminal liquids .

[Later Tomater ] (spelling bad)

[Swoon]

The highest rank in several armys is Marshal. As far as I know, a marshal was originally just a servant too, who was responsible to take care of the king’s horses in the Frankish kingdom.

It might be [nitpicky], but I think it is an important distinction – Commander-in-Chief is a civilian title and not a military rank.

Close, but no star. :lol:

Ahh, I really liked the star! :D

Dude! Your a hop-&-skip-&-jump from Kirkland! Keep your eye’s open. They are not in season right now but who knows there might be some in cold storage. Maybe I can get one of the farmers here at the market to buy some BB from other farmers. Save me the trip every week. :smile:

Washington Barbed Wire! Thats funny. Yes I have. I just got wacked in the face 3 days ago of some vines draping over a sidewalk. I’m still healing from the cuts. Good thing it didn’t get my eye. I wish I had my rose clippers so I can trim the over growth. People are so freaking lazy. :roll:

Marina,

Please explain.
“Sergeant later took on a meaning similiar to Esquire”
Yet Esquire is a term that refers to Lawyers.
Is Lawyer therefore an equivelent to Sergeant?

What your point?

Origin of [Alien Moviez]

When is your first movie coming out ? :mrgreen:

Navy has one less chevron, and they are pointed down (not like this ^). For example, E4 has one chevron, E5 two, E6 three, E7 three and a rainbow, E8 birdie has a star over his head, E9 two stars (one over each of birdie’s shoulder.) E1 has slick sleaves, E2 two stripes, E3 has three stripes. The stripes are also different colors, depending upon rating – corpsmen white, firemen red, airdales green, seamen are.. uh I forgot, blue, white?

Correct. The highest rank in the British is Field-Marshal, the equivalent of the Royal Navy’s ‘Admiral of the Fleet’, and the Royal Air Force’s ‘Marshal of the Royal Air Force’.
The next ranks in seniority in the Royal Air Force are Air Chief Marshal, Air Marshal and Air Vice-Marshal.
As you mentioned, the word derives from Old High German marah “horse” (from which we get mare) and schalh “servant”.
Now a word request [constable]. As it contains the word stable, I wonder if that was also something to do with horses. :???:

But still , cool :cool:

There’s been dozens of them already!
Look for the next one about ten comments after this. :roll:

“soulja boy” :lol:

No. I’m a SEAman. GF called me SeaMon (short for Sea Monster), but never semen. I really try hard to get rid of that messy goo. I hear now one can make money selling that stuff. I couldn’t do that. Would be bothered with little mees running around with someone else’s family.
I was referring my ability to swim. I was a backup rescue swimmer for downed Navy pilots. I had to be able to penetrate the chute (membrane) in case I got tangled up. I don’t know what the hell you were thinking!?!
LOL… Just funning with you. :mrgreen:

Ahh , its the “penetrate membranes” that got me thinking :lol:

I love all the different elements.
I wonder if they’re only aesthetic, or if they have interesting stories behind them, as well. :-)

The grades of Chief Warrant Officers in the USMC are identical to the US Navy. (WO1, CWO2, etc.) The only difference is the color of the bar (red).

Correct. This is the same for other billets, such as Secretary of the Navy, Army, etc. These are not ranks, but definitely positions of great authority.

Good one :mrgreen:

What… you don’t like biker chicks? :mrgreen:

WOW! My new lights look like theatre lights! I hope they are bright enough though

Smell like a cadaver, eh? You sure you haven’t been dipping blunts in formaldehyde (a better high, I have heard)?

Studying goes well, thanks for asking… it’s me last semester and I’m past the half-way mark. Once I’m done, though, I have another semester to study for a comprehensive exam… an all-day essay exam over everything in my degree. Oy! I must be a masochist.

Anatomy and Physiology… you getting another degree? Prepping for Med school? Becoming a forensic anthropologist?

All enlisted ranks in the USMC above PFC have crossed rifles under the chevron(s).

The USMC First Sergeant does have 3 up and 3 down and a diamond. However, the Master Sergeant in the USMC has crossed rifles.

Sergeant Majors and Master Gunnery Sergeants in the USMC have 3 chevrons and 4 rockers. Where the SgtMaj has a star in the center, the MGySgt has a bursting bomb. The Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps is still an E9 in grade, as this is a billet (of additional authority), not a rank.

Too funny. You reminded me of my daughter when she gets the giggles. I’ve seen the same expression of exasperation in frame 0:20 many times, also.

At the time was a rank just below a knight.. or men who were in the service of the king. Esquire was later used by the legal profession. Yes, they were of similar rank at one time.

Ohhh my gawd. I love this video. Great lesson!!!
I had no idea about the origin of this word.
You crack me up Marina, when you screamed out fudge and then bleeped out fudgicals. I think you should do a 4 minute video of you just cracking yourself up. That made my day!!! Laughing in the aisles.
I’ll be right back. I gotta favorite this video and rate 5 stars.

According to the Brother Grimm’s German dictionary, the marshal was even classified as an unfree servant in the Lex Salica

If you discuss a word in a comment (e.g., esquire) does it mean that you have investigated it and decided that it is not good enough for a lesson? Or are you discussing esquire here, even if it is good enough for its own lesson, because this lesson is somewhat incomplete without an elaboration of esquire and the lesson on esquire might be too far away in the future?

Thanks Marina,

One more question then.
Would Knight then be the equivelent of Commissioned Officer?
And Sergeant, which equals Esquire, then be the equivelent of Non-Commissioned Officer?

Just found out that while [lecturer means speaker -- lector means reader!]

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.”

I like that. Self-evident, eh? But can you prove this? This is a very, very interesting sentence, Leonard. Let’s think a little bit about these words. If indeed all men are created equal, why then some of them act like pitiful, stupid morons, bullying the shit out of others all their sorry and insignificant life, and why some others are great and helpful thinkers, or if they’re not at least they shut up and don’t try to climb on each other’s shoulders and influence each oters like a bunch of chickens in a chicken factory? If all men are created equal, why then don’t they live equally? Why don’t they all die the same way then? Why don’t they think the same?

Where are the Indians today? Where are they gone? Where are the eagles? Where are the wolves, the buffaloes?
What happened to the whales? What will happen to the polar bears? What’s happening to our planet? Our only home? Where’s the bill? Is it self-evident that there’s a bill to pay for everything you consume, or is it not self-evident?

Very few things are self-evident in this world, Leonard. And very few people can really see the few ones that are self-evident.

Hi Marina, You are a feast for the eyes. I too am fascinated with philology and etymology. I had seen earlier that you recommended some books to read and I thought maybe I could recommend one for you. It is titled The Professor and the Madman. It’s a true story about the making of the Oxford English Dictionary. Sounds boring right, not really, once you find out about Dr. Charles Minor. Anyway thought you might be interested.

I also have a word for you. [ copacetic ].

Hi Che Volay,
Just slighly. I just randomly clicked like ten videos on YT and they come up slightly slower. Maybe 2-4 seconds slower than usual.

***MARINA***Salutatorian and salutations…I loved your salute. :smile: Salutarily and well taken. *Hail-to the-***REPUBLIC OF LEXICON*** :lol:

Thanks Karl, my feed seems a lot slower than 2-4 sec, I’ll just give it some time to correct itself.

Hey Che since they shut down Watch-Movies.net do you have any other sites to watch movies? I tried FilmHill.com, but they don’t have a good selection.

Since most of it gets hidden behind the video it’s hard to link to most of the sites it displays. I don’t use it because of the parts that are hidden. It really gets in the way when you go to click on a title at the top of the page. If you accidentally mouse over it, it jumps up in your face.

Ok, thanks.

Hi hs4mm,
Marina is on MySpace, but as the page says, she is never over there. http://www.myspace.com/hotforwords

Marina is also on Facebook and a lot of other places.

I’m not speaking for Marina, but my casual observation is that HotForWords is well covered in many outlets. HotForWords is covered daily by many different blogs and other video sites. At minimum, you can track who is linking to a HFW video by going to a HFW video and clicking the Statistics & Data button and looking at the top 5 links linking to the video.

Of course, Marina would be more qualified to speak about the details of her media exposure.

Hi Marina,

Could you explain why [capitulate] means to surrender but [recapitulate] means to review by a brief summary? The two words seem to have the same root but have two very different meanings….I’m confused!

Thanks,

-Greg

YouTube is being a bitch.

Did you have a problem viewing videos, a while back?

Oh! Capman911 — if you want to use the “share” button but are not doing so because of overlap with the video — you might be mistaken! When I click on the share icon, a new window pops up with tons of sites to share on — does not interfere with the video at all!

Phew! I was feeling bad and silly for creating this comment #54 thinking everyone else knew about it; hope I showed you something new!

It has been going on for a few days now.

That same thing happened to a friend of mine too.
And I asked him to delete his Browser Profile folder.

If you decide to do this also, read below:
You can find it, if you just do Start->Run->”%appdata%” (without the apostrophe). There you should be able to find your browser folder. If you back that up, you can then delete it, and your browser will reset to factory defaults.

That worked for my friend, but this isn’t a fun method, because you have to also back up your favorites, or you will loose them, along with all your saved accounts and passwords.

Tks :smile:

My pleasure, the first time is always free. :-)

I don’t know of any story but that doesn’t mean that there is not. I can say the first 3 boards are to sit on the left shoulder and the last one (Captain) is to sit on the right. If you look at the (Fouled Anchor), the loop in the middle must face forward. I need to investigate this someday. A quick Google search shows this site might have the answers.

BELL BOTTOM TROUSERS/DUNGAREES do serve a safety purposes. The bell bottom makes it possible to remove your dungarees with your boots still on. The dungarees can be turned into a make shift life preserver. You know I should do a video lesson on that also. Thanks for getting me on the subject Chemikal! :mrgreen:

I might need people to start clicking on the video above to take them to YouTube. YouTube now wants people to have lots of clicks from outside YouTube in order to be considered “popular”. Annoying.

Good eyes there Che. Maybe it’s made out of hemp!

That’s correct. Many people don’t know that the USMC is part of the Navy. Nether force could function without the other. I found out this to be true when working on the battleships.

Consider it clicked!

:cool:

Clicking away :smile:

Thanks. The myspace site has a certain information about Marina that I had only been able to find very indirectly (by a rough inference) so far.

:mrgreen: ClickClickClickClickClickClickClickClickClickClick :mrgreen:

Che, Can you read the writing on the cap? The cap has writing on her left back side too. How about the writing on her T-shirt?

check this out, titled ” Sergeant HotForWords” :roll: [title, brand, descriptive property]…hats off to the miller :lol: spirits off to the brave!

I don’t see it. (In the previous reply, “T-Shirt” is not likely to be the right word.)

Can’t review at this time, no feed only a spinning wheel :sad:

The U. S. Navy has Ensign as the most junior officer rating; Lieutenant Junior Grade comes next. I’m curious for why Brits pronounce it “leftenant.”

M, I think you might have that backwards. Also I have an idea that should make you popular again.

Could you eliminate the ability for outsiders to comment via YouTube and have the link directed to your page when commenters click on at the YouTube site?

I noticed the writing on the left-back of the hat and on her shirt only when I saw the lesson in HD. One of the words is in black, begins with an L and might be love.

“It must be some kind of wordy [click],” I could imagine my mother, describing to her sister, the phenomenal, !*!HotForWords!*! :razz: a1&a2&a3…alltogether, lets click :!:

That’s ok dear. We all will work on changing the way the military salutes to follow your method.

[Alien Moviez] ?

Wonderful video, Marina! I love watching you crack yourself up!
HW: After reviewing the other comments, I noticed the lack of the ancient Roman rank of centurion

Na, keep the riff raff out. I don’t like their comments.

Captain, I ask: What made Marina, not popular for you to say that?…”…that should make you popular again.” Are they like words in the back? Oh, you said backwards, ghetto(getit) :wink: Lisa Marie & Elvis Presley – In The Ghetto hows the CALIFORNIA snow :grin:

When I was building my website, I placed a link to my site on every free site that I could find. I checked Wikipedia under philology and I did not see a reference to your site. You can update Wikipedia yourself.

Also, Dictionary.com has a link for people to place on their websites, such as: =’http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/philology?qsrc=2886′>philology. Perhaps, they would allow a link to your site on their pages under philology, philologist, etc. This could be a reciprocal arrangement.

Reporting to HotForWords: :cool: Elvis Presley – G.I.Blues…Click on to the You Tube and buy rounds of HotForWords, for all thirsty philologists :razz:

i would like to know where the word? [signature] derived from please my teacher/mistress < (thats a good word) x thank you

Fianlly, I see it too! To me, shoulder means something else; I would have said: near the top of her arm, with the writing being in a direction about 90 degrees to her arm, and with the left vertical line of the H almost under the arm. It is big and clear.

Another idea :idea: I always thought you would be a good contestant on Dancing With The Stars. Perhaps, you could ease your way into it, or at least get some TV time, by submitting segments for the root definitions to common dance terms, such as:
tango
Look up tango at Dictionary.com
syncopated ballroom dance, 1913, from Argentine Sp. tango, originally the name of an African-American drum dance, probably from a Niger-Congo language (cf. Ibibio tamgu “to dance”). Phrase it takes two to tango was a song title from 1952.

(miss) ! sorry i am single !!!

leonard.. it’s not that I’m not popular.. it’s just that I don’t show up on YouTube’s now default “Most Popular” pages which have nothing to do with how many views your video gets.

Hey Marina! My name is Russell. I recently found out that National Pancake Day at IHOP is on Feb 24. And I want to know the origin of the word [pancake]. I hope you can do this one. Thanks for filling up my head with vocabulary. Have a good day!

HI,

200/68! SO CLOSE!

Guess I have to settle with 201comment 69 thread!

hi marina :)
I was wondering, where does the word [breakfast] come from?
Love as always ;)
Maxim

This seems like YouTube is playing school hierarchy with us, Popularity is not everything! If your views are steady, it’s fine. However, if it affects you making money, that’s bad. I come here and I always click the vid twice to take me to YT, so I can view it in HD….. Whatever you need done, WILL BE DONE!! :grin:

(hmm why is hierarchy marked as a spelling error)

x

Sorry Leonard. I should have been more descriptive. I was referring to YouTube’s Most Popular videos. I’m going 100 knots right now, working on 4 different projects at once. I should slow down a bit hu? NEVER! There’s going to be a gold rush soon! I love recessions!

We can always attach to our names Go to Yt to vote and watch the video. Maybe that will help. Every little link will help.

At least you saluted with the correct hand… I’ve seen recruits salute with their left hands.

Marina how can I put a url attached to my name that will send people to the newest video?

I just went and made an extra click on the YT site.

Hi Marina, it’s interesting that you did a lesson on the word Sergeant as I was just this weekend wondering about the origin the words [major] and [general] since both have multiple meanings. How do the army ranks relate to their other meanings, if at all?

Thanks and I look forward to more enlightenment from you.
Phil

What happened to your dotted border

Good word request [breakfast]. As I remember it, it had something to do with fasting (not eating). ‘Break’ I could only guess it would be taking a break from fasting all night at the break of dawn. This is just my WAG.

HIGH,

I guess Marina decided to change it.

It looks like it written like a “capucha” (not clear on how to spell but that puzzle written word you need to type in a box when you sign up for a website) It there to stop ‘bots’

I don’t think it is a Captcha. I think the shirt originally had a rose. Then people wrote their names in white and black ink pens. The top line looks like “Howard ~ Tiesthen Case L” in white ink; the L-word on her left in black is probable “Laura” with a horizontal-smile “: )” below it; the word in black to her right might be Steve. And it might be that the writing on the hat has been purposely smudged out.

I Am the Very Model of a Modern Major-General.

Private, private first class, corporal, lance corporal, sergeant, first sergeant, master sergeant, sergeant major,staff sergeant , gunnery sergeant, lieutenant, captain, colonel, lieutenant colonel, major, brigadier general, general… that’s all I can think of at the moment.

Well I padded my butt…let the slashing begin, I mean lashings, lickings and an unpopular slap…thank you and word request, [default]…”Its not my fault; its my facilities that are faulty” :razz: {feudist, I am(faux pas) :oops: peace be with you :lol:

This video has not shown up on my YT home page yet.
The top of the home page where new videos are placed from subscriptions.

The Rat Patrol FULL Opening With Sponsor ID: Camel Cigarettes :wink:

PRIVET

Really? That might be a problem. Are you sure you have not clicked on it yet? As it will go away if you have already clicked on it. Do a view all for your subscriptions to see if I show up. This might be what is happening to my subscribers.. perhaps they are not being notified of my videos.

The Royal Navy pronounces it Li-oo-tenant; it’s only the Crabs (Air Force), the Bootnecks (Royal Marines) and the Pongos or Brown Jobs that are lefties. :grin:

Not here http://i44.tinypic.com/314b4f7.jpg

hello marina,what about the lowest rank in the armed forces [private].

in the armed forces at the base they call the eating area the [messhall].
can you investigate?

That’s because you clicked on the video and watched it at YouTube. It should show up when you click on hotforwords, right?

Yes — right on both counts. Just now, I double-clicked and watched Valentine’s day from HFW and Valentine’s day got removed from the picture shown in previous comment. And clicking on hotforwords does show Sergent.

It changes all the time. You have to manually do it every upload. Maybe there is code that one can use to retrieve latest video.

ARMY: Private (E1) and (E2), Private First Class, Specialist, Corporal, Sergeant, Staff Sergeant, Master Sergeant, First Sergeant, Sergeant Major, Sergeant Major of the Army, Second Lieutenant, First Lieutenant, Captain, Major, Lieutenant Colonel, Colonel, General, Brigadier General, Major General, Lieutenant General, General of the Army, and we can’t forget Warrant Officer, Chief Warrant Officer 2, 3, and 4… Did I forget anything for the Army? It’s been 16.5 years since I’ve been out.

From Catch-22 : Major Major Major Major (cat named Major M. Major made rank of Major immediately and stayed there for the duration for either self-actualization or self-fulfilling prophecy reasons).

From Gravity’s Rainbow (another Weird War Novel) : Lieutenant Tyrone Slothrop.

Kilroy was here. Rank unknown.

Marina,
Same thing with me. I also look in the friends activity and I never see that you’ve posted a new show. I always look at your channel since I’m never sure when a new one is posted. Maybe you could post your new show at the same time every day.

I would like to request the word [Partisan]

Why is a senior non-commissioned officer in the Navy called a “Chief?” Thanks…

Dick

cap: looks like “~IN~ ?MUSIC? WE TRUST” :?:

[whoops a daisy] where’d that come from?

That’s why I was asking Marina if maybe she knew something we could do, like we did in the Sexy geek vote thing. Maybe there is a code that linked the clicks or stars from YT to Marina’s site. Any thing to help her on the votes or clicks.

The watch movies .net is back up with a new name.

http://www.watch-movies-links.net/

Che, watch movies.net is back up. It has a new url.

http://www.watch-movies-links.net/

Two things I do not understand in this pictue: (1)Why does subscriptions show only one video? Clicking the “view all” button results in the picture shown earlier (with the two viewed videos “sergent” and “valentine-words” removed). (2) Why is there nothing in “Friend Activity”? Perhaps because I did something while fooling around with my homepage settings before I stumbled onto this page?

It just showed up on my email 30 minutes ago.

How did Colonel Sanders of Kentucky Fried Chicken become a Colonel? Did he at one point “chicken out” of the army or what?

We need to investigate this! :shock: :lol:

Hello My Dear Teacher. It Is Good To See You Laugh! Do You Like Coffee? I Take Mine Black.

Maybe they didn’t pay their rent.

what ta hell??

Agree with ~IN~ and WE TRUST. Think the middle line has 6 or 7 characters and ends in A.

My Guess: POXNORA

So: IN POXNORA WE TRUST

How about the writing on the left back visible at :35 and :51 – “Xslance” (for excellence)?

Might the cap belong to player of Poxnora named Xslance?

This is a very catchy, well verbalized and interesting question you raise here, Spinachman.

I would say he is one of these self-proclaimed autonomous colonels. I don’t know if he chickened out of the army or not, but one thing is absolutely sure: he IS the absolute master of his chickens. They belong to him, body and wings so to speak. From a chicken point of view, he is wayyy more than a colonel. And you don’t want to guess how he treats these poor little things down there in the Kentuky Fried chicken factories.

I’m just got back, you’re still in my subscription list. I 99.9% sure this Sergeant video has not appeared on my home page.
I been having technical problems watching videos on YT so I haven’t played many.

If you can check to see if I rated this video then you’ll know for sure if I been there. I always go to YT to rate your videos.

PS, Because of the glitch that gives me a double subscription to you I always notice your videos since there are always two of them.

If you don’t know what I mean about a double subscription go to my YT channel by clicking on my name, look at the subscription box you’ll see.

Let me know if there is any thing else I can do.

Peace

YT is now working OK for me, steady feed no interruptions. :smile:

Good request :mrgreen:
You reminded me to ask why [chow] is served in the messhall :grin:

Colonel Sanders was a Kentucky Colonel :mrgreen:
I know about this because my Dad was also one.

We know this one!
She takes hers blonde and sweet :mrgreen:

I didn’t make my first post here until the lesson was out for 4.5 hours, I think I remember being surprise it was not on my YT home page.

Pancakes! :mrgreen:
Matthew Helms

Not sure how this affects YouTube ranking, but at least two people made videos of ranks in the military but those videos do not show up in the video response section:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUsCtod2HKc

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tztS-NcsDaI

There is also some fool trying to cash in on the HFW name to collect love stories http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2qXbUrOSMVo

.

I have never gone to the most popular, or the most viewed page to see who’s there… except when linked, from here at the website, or stumbled across by a miss-click. I like the vids I like & the #s have no sway in my decision to view (speaking as a little more than a casual viewer with 33k+ views). Just checked on the “videos” button & it still defaults to “most viewed” for me & manually have to click on “popular”. It’ll be changing always & your advantage, Marina, is you do all your own stuff. It’s pretty consistant to your personal commitment to your calling. People know what to expect… just hit ‘em with enough surprises, that you don’t become predictable.
The copyright removals are sending a ripple of grief through a lot of blogs & websites that have, is it, “embedded” stuff. Have a confidence, Marina, that is bigger than the situation & you’ll be good I’m sure.
Clicking from here, really make much difference? I often do anyways.

I have a very limited knowledge of army grades (other than the pieces of the Stratego game), discipline, hierarchy and matters, but from what I can see, the order of Kentucky Colonels, although quite honourable, has nothing to do with the military. Thanks for the precisions, Chacha. :smile:

I’m keeping the bunny away from you Warren… “stew”, honesly :razz:
“Vanilla Bean” is the name… and no I didn’t tell my daughter the origin of the word vanilla :lol:

And what phrases do other languages use to mean the same thing?

The enlisted bosses are called petty officers. The most senior of these is the chief petty officer, hence “chief.”

When Evan goes to Japan, he is known as Party San.

It’s true, I tell you.

When I was in USAF and on K.P., I learned why they call it the messhall. When they got icecream in, they would not serve it to the troops, because it was “too good.” So they would leave it in the freezer, which when it was cleaned, would cause the icecream to soften. Then it would refreeze. After a sufficient number of these cycles, it was then satisfactorily lousy, and, in order not to waste it, it was served up as milkshakes. Lousy milkshakes. Got that?

Then some of us on K.P. would throw some carrots, peas or whatever into the milkshake for the fun of it, and that’s what the troops got. Any questions where mess comes from now?

Oh look! Two mighty and powerful armies clashing in the open fields!. Fighting for resources to keep their workers busy!

You mineral… You vegetable… You ANIMAL!

I suggested long ago that the latest video always have a fixed file name in addition to the unique file names now in use. Then everyone could make a shortcut to the latest lesson. (But maybe M wants you to hit the home page first.)

I don’t understand. By “click on the video above” do you mean to click on the lesson video at the top of these comments? I do that already and assume everyone else here does that also, so what is so new that you are trying to get us to do?

I want to catalog all the socks that are hiding in all the dryers I have ever used.

Warren, do you subscribe to me? And you don’t see my videos appear in the homepage of YouTube when you goto http://www.youtube.com?

Please let me know as this is VERY important for me.

That is correct.
I get old videos as “Recommended for You”.
I don’t remember the last time I have seen a new show posted. Maybe because of the time vids are posted.
Maybe it’s because I subscribe to many different channels.
I always click on your Icon in my “Friends” section and it takes me to your channel.
Then I pop over here to comment/read comments.

WARNING: DON’T EAT BLACKBERRIES UNCOOKED. YOU CAN GET INTESTINAL RING TONES.

:lol: I say, I say boy, Foghorn Leghorn served more time in the henhouse than Harland David Sanders ever served as a colonel!

:sad: I can relate. Months back before these surprise changes happened on YT such as going widescreen and format changes that a lot of folks at YT didn’t even want took into affect it used to be I’d sign in to YT and hotforwords new video would show up right away on the homepage. I’ve been a hotforwords subscriber for over a year now and it was a lot more fun when I didn’t have to go through a garden maze just to avoid videos I don’t want to watch and will never click on anyway.

:smile: So I started funning it here and joined the forums and such, because you know what? Getting dicked around when you pay for a service that’s suppose to provide instead of hassle is the real inconvenient truth. Just like the majority of internet users know it sucks getting the redirect from google and people are seeing more and more CON in inCONveinced everyday.
~I love high speed technology~

Figure the digital switch to HD TV is going to have a cost ticket attached to it. Perhaps you go to turn on your pc and all you get is a blank screen instead. No internet. If you think it can’t happen then think again. Praise Bob Dobbs!

Helllo Lady Marina! :wink: For my homework tonight, I could only think of these ranks: private, private-first class, sargeant-at-arms, sargeant-major, lieutenant, lieutenant-major, major, colonel, brigadier-general, major-general, one-star general, two-star general, three-star general, four-star general & commander-in-chief…whey!

Jet! Was your father as bold as a sergeant major?
Well how come he told you that you were hardly old enough yet?
:oops:

Right James. If we pool our resources together, us chivalry types, we can buy up Lochaber Island or whatever and build a castle there and then broadcast MarinaTube through the atmosphere like we’d be tootin’ on bagpipes and be wearing scottish kilts.

Jet

Bug Exploiter! :-)

Before Napoleon’s time MOST military officer ranks were bought, and you could be what ever rank you could afford. When wars were fought with men lined up on hillsides volleying at one another this wasn’t so critical. With the advent of artillery it became more important for some officers to actually know what they were doing; that is how Napoleon rose through the ranks, through education and knowledge. But to this day political pull will often do more than skill, unless there is a military action in progress. Many state maintained National Guards are still more politics than skill; the Kentucky Colonels are a classic example but not unique.

Hello Marina I would like To Request a Word [Gorgoues] :grin: hope i spelled that right like Gorgoues as in Marina :mrgreen:

I know I am against bad news but

this so so sad

…. kinda

Sad that the nails were broken or sad that she grew them in the first place?
Some people will do anything for fame!
Imagine how impractical it would be to live with those nails.

Marina, since you seem to enjoy words and military ranks, I have a trivia question for you.

Where does the word [DELEGATE] come from (as in delegating authority)? And how does it relate to military ranks?

Hotforwords must investigate.

I want my hair to look like Martyn Poliakoff!

[red-handed]
I’d like to hear the story behind this phrase

I’d crash my car too if my nails/claws are that long :mrgreen:

I’ve experienced many similar issues and I just ignored them for someone else will complain and problem will get fixed eventually. I even have email issues on YT for I read a message and it doesn’t clear out of my in box notifications. Hence I would rather have students email via the comment page and not YouTube.

The one subscriber issue I had was when I watched the video it would not clear out of the list. I would log back in the next day and all the videos that I watched would show back up. This even happen to me about 2 hours ago.

Going back to your issue. I too have that same problem. It’s not a new bug. I have had it on and off for sometime. It does take some amount of time for new videos to show up. Some days only about 15 minutes, while other days it would take about 12 to 48 hours to show up.

I’m sure YouTube programmers are well aware of the problems and are working tirelessly day and night fixing the problems. You can trust in YouTube that they are looking out for your best interest. :smile:

never mind … hands bloody

Oh YT is really messed up now. I commented on a video and had 3 replies. 1st reply is 4 hours old, 2nd reply is 3 hours old, and 3rd is 2 hours old and about the 3rd reply is I just got a YT email mentioning the reply was made. I still don’t have an email for the first 2 replies. I wonder how many missed message I have had but will never know about? :evil:

“Error is to human, but to really screw things up requires a computer!”

I think having more high traffic websites linking to her videos would help more than this site. If we are on this site then we are already viewing the lessons. The only issue I see is the MODIFIED embedded code might not rank as high as a normal blog page link.

Hi Marina, My request words is…. Bushes!!

I´d like that u to talk about it, If u are allright….

Thanx u and I hope that u contact with me in Dashboard, Kisses!!

Bye

Commandant is a military rank we don’t hear much these days. Maybe it’s just used in Europe.

If anyone makes Marina have the look at time 0:06 you’d better run like crazy.
And she does know crazy and karate.

I’m trying to reach something on YouTube. Just like HotForWords. She is great

Try to find something about [Alien Moviez]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQgQQgExY0s&feature=related Sorry, that is so funny.

The insurgents are coming!!! [havelock](british,general)…insurmountable…private no-class :roll:

[pronounce] does it have anything to do with pronoun?

OH DEAR! My hair has gone out of fashion :lol:

If you don’t already, she wants us to go to her YouTube site and click on the video there and watch it. While your there rate her video at the same time. I do that on all of her video by using both of my YT sites.

I am glad you found that entro leonard. I have been trying for years to convince my wife that Hans Gudegest the German tank commander had changed his name to Eric Braden be on I think It’s the Young and the Restless. She says no, his name has always been Eric Braden. Now I can show her. Oh well, Dog house tonight. :lol:

HAIR,hair and bunnies will, play—I found MARINA’S real sister slaventree of service America HAILS the Republic of Lexicon and ******HOT FOR WORDS*****,over all of US :lol: :razz: :lol: and here is one for Gorby112 Years of Dogs in Movies, Rin-Tin-Tin Lassie Benji Toto + Did you know the original “RinTinTin”, was of the German Army :!: :!: **!**:-}:-)

OK… I started a forum for you all to discuss if my videos are not appearing in your YouTube subscription box when you log into YouTube. Did something change at YouTube recently? Or, perhaps you have so many subscription now, I am merely getting lost in the amount of videos being uploaded by your other subscriptions?

Help me figure out if there is a problem here or not.

Thanks!

Forum Here.

HI: [trans.par.ency]..transpierce…..TRANSPOSITION=travesty love your work, as You Tube loves you :cool: be good :wink:

I have been doing that for the last couple weeks or so, since you cats started the post about YT’s categories. Pls keep us informed. I check that forum 2 or 3 times a week. I will do what I can, as long as I know what to do. Sorry I cannot offer more suggestions, but this is definately not my forte.

I only have three YT subs: you, James, and mijj. Should I see this on my YT channel, or do I need to go to YT homepage. I normally do not go straight to YT, but I get into YT through your link above. I have absolutely no idea why this would make any difference, but I am confident in my ignorance that no stupid question should go unasked. :roll:

If Marina doesn’t put up a section at the top of the comments tell members to go to her YT site and watch and vote I will try to mention it on every new video. :smile:

Where did the word “jerk” come from? Thanks.

Miss M could you add another info box like the, “You can still vote for me for Sexiest Geek”, asking everyone to go to your YT site and watch and vote for the new video. That way maybe everyone will see it as a reminder to help you in the most popular section. :smile:

I wrote something up in the forum topic that might help.

HOMEWORK (I noticed some missed a few ranks below for Army): Private (E1, E2), Private First Class, Specialist (my retired rank), Corporal, Sergeant, Staff Sergeant, Sergeant First Class, Master Sergeant, First Sergeant, Sergeant Major, and Sergeant Major of the Army.
And for the officers: 2nd Lieutenant, 1st Lieutenant, Captain, Major, Lieutenant Colonel, Colonel, Brigadier General, Major General, Lieutenant General, General, and General of the Army.

WORD REQUEST: [colonel]

Why do people pronounce colonel as kernel, when there isn’t even an “r” in it?

Lucky Leghorn! Erm… Hold 1… lucky?

Serve this, serve that, serve again and serve always… A master-servant relationship kinda sucks in the long run, don’t you think? :smile:

Are You Gonna Be My Girl?

I wonder how she did every day things like going to the bathroom or picking her nose. I know this sound gross, but someone evidently had to these things for her. You know she couldn’t work or clean house. Oh well. :roll:

[SLAVIAN][SLAWIAN][SLAVEN][SLOVAN][Славян]
Privet Marina ,
i wonder if you can deal this word,for sure im not alone who will gladly listen your explanation, since for ages nobody ever know how to explain its origins ,some linguist say it comes from Slovo /word/ some “glupy niemci” says from Sklave /slave/
im looking forward what you will say about.
Слава!!!

Bawl the battlefild, bur.eaucracy(burro)…homework, who did what? and when?…a narcistic club? Steppenwolf – Monster great words and the writer of the song was born in East Prussia****** :shock: animalntaz: how did that all organize? :razz:

Oh, I forgot about the Warrant Officers. You left out Sergeant First Class.

Commandant is a job tiltle, not a rank. The Commmandant of the Marine Corps is a (the) General (4 star). The Army does not have a Commandant, but they do have the General of the Army (title) who holds the rank of General (again, 4 star), similar to the Admiral of the Navy who has the rank of Admiral (4 star). The Navy also, occasionally uses the title Commodore, but that is usually a wartime billet to make a Captain (O6) a flag officer, so a Commodore is like an O6 1/2, but is considered Admiralty. To confuse matters even more, the Army has, in the past, resorted to a rank/title of 5 star General with the rank/title General of the Army.

BTW, enlisted and NCOs do not have any rank; they have rate. Only CWOs and Commissioned Officers have actual rank.

From a slight pull! Totally Go-Go’s – Cool Jerk.. :lol:

Oh yeah, I forgot to check the list. I’m feeling a little slow today.

Are you interested in anything else? Just wondering.

New video coming up :-)

I’d really like to see you do the word [pizza]. You could eat a slice of your favorite pizza and ask us to name our favorite. Or is it possible you don’t like pizza, Marina? :shock: Maybe Gorby does. :lol: Oh, well.

As always, thank you for your consideration.

thanks :smile: Teach :mrgreen: B.B.

After 3 hours I finally got the dust out best i could even though i couldn’t get the cover off. Its been about 2- mins now and the fan hasnt even turned on!

nope :mrgreen:

Once upon a time I was a Petty Officer Second Class in the Navy which would be a Sergeant in the Army then I got in some trouble and was demoted to a Petty Officer Third Class… which would be a Corporal in the Army… Make sense?

Damn, missed one… Yeah, I was ready to go to Warrant Officer school before my 1st Sergeant hit me for being over weight, which he did because I went to the LTC about him miss-treating his men. Me and my pilot flew the LTC all the time.

Grunt and Gofer are more along lines of titles.
Mudroller and Eleven-Bush (11B) are other examples :mrgreen:

Enlisted may have grade.

Any time :lol:

For some reason, in the U.S. Army, the rank of corporal was replaced by specialist 4. Or Spec 4 for short. I guess corporals seemed to think they had power or something, as mini-seargents. Another rank is Major. We had a Major in my outfit at Fort Carson, who sent my company out on a xcountry ski training mission just outside of Leadville, Colorado. We cross country skied down the length of a small mtn. valley to observe an outpost or some such by the light of the moon. As is usual for the high Rockies, the clouds came over the mtn. tops in no time, and we found ourselves skiing single file back to camp in a white out, where we could only see the back of the skis of the soldier in front of us. Our Captain finally got on the walkie talkie (circa 1971) and ordered the 1st Seargent to drive the Duece ‘n’ uh Half (2 1/2 ton truck) out to intercept the company and transport us back to camp before we lost men in the blizzard. We remembered that Major (I won’t mention his name Major Ware). A few weeks later, back at Fort Carson, the same Major had battalion CQ, which means he was in charge of the battalion during the evening, and he was walking around looking for soldiers to bust. Specialist McNathy was drunk and had to take a leak. He was on the 2nd floor of the barracks, and decided to pee off the balcony in the dark of night. And no other than our favorite Major was there underneath that balcony when the yellow rain gushered forth. He didn’t stop to bust McNathy for peeing on a Major (that has to be against some Army regulation or t’other) because of the humiliation he’d never live down. From then on, we called McNathy…..McNasty, in fond memory of his glorious revenge.

Modern Talking – “Jet Airliner”

Guess I didn’t phrase the question correctly. :) Where did the word “jerk” come from as it is used to refer to a person being a jerk? i.e. “she’s such a jerk” — thanks.

Word RequestIn the Navy there is a unique grade called ‘warrant officer’. Where did this rank come from? Also, what is the difference between ‘rank’ and ‘grade’?

Hi what going on ??? Nice web site

Marina Gorby sure has a squeaky voice, thats what he learned from playing with all those squeaky toys, or he swallowed one of those squeaky devices :smile: :smile:

So far, I have not seen an explanation of why a major outranks a captain, but a lieutenant general outranks a major general. It is kinda interesting, so I will try that.

Originally, there were just three officer ranks. Captain, colonel and general. The ranks were based on political connections or how many troops you could raise, not military ability. So they would each have a professional officer (lieutenant) to serve under them and make the actual decisions. Captain:lieutenant::colonel:lieutenant colonel::general:lieutenant general
In turn, each of these lieutenants would have a sergeant major (servent) to actually execute the orders. Some of the words were dropped, but originally these were sergeant [major] [captain], [sergeant] major [colonel], and [sergeant] major general. So that is why a lieutenant general outranks a major general.

I like your answer, cherrybomb….rank this…This site is wonderfully fun. Oh, how they had it made(maid) in the old military. :grin:

privet Marina…

i heard sergeant came from the french ser – meaning to tighten or keep together, and geant – meaning people. in the army, the sergeant is the highest ranking in the mobile units. then the lieutenant “holds the place” and the capitan is the “head of the regiment” – and they sit in a chair all day.

while on the topic, could i please ask you where the word [sapper] or [sappeur] came from (i’m not sure of the english spelling).

i love the accent

how bout Navy ranks.. where does Petty officer from?

there is corporal, lieutenant(1st, 2nd, etc.), captain, private, gunnery sargent, and green bray(i think) :mrgreen:

Re: “I think he was being sarcastic.”

You may well be correct. And I was being gracious.

If he was baiting me, I wasn’t biting. I let that go, which didn’t cost me a thing, and haven’t given it a second thought. After all, it was my welcome page. In fact, the only one still thinking about it appears to be you.

I miss Chach, he was a lot of fun before Marina posed the “who will you vote for?” question (and, as you may recall, I said at the time that I thought it represented an error in judgment to ask such a question on a word etymology blog). Friends became enemies overnight. That was a sad thing to witness.

I lost a lot of respect for some people and almost left the site because it was no fun to read all the vitriolic spew. Prior to that, I had considered this blog a safe haven from the partisan madness.

Did they really think their jabs and pokes at their classmates would change anything? All it did was to prove how shallow and intolerant some can be toward others. Once that can of worms was opened, they couldn’t be put back in. What a waste of energy.

Too bad certain topics cause so much interpersonal conflict. IMHO, it eventually cost us one of our smartest TAs.

That’s why I don’t discuss my personal political beliefs or religion in an open forum like this. I’m not here to champion some cause, change anyone’s mind, or push an agenda. Just an Ohio boy here havin’ some fun with words, and trying to do my best to help keep the peace if I can, so I chose not to post a reply on the same page just so this conversation could remain more or less between us. Hope you don’t mind.

Thanks for responding.
