Elope

 
First again

Hey, you wanna Jack A Lope?

Hey, Marina, check out the Popular Forum.
I posted a graph of your “Several” video which has been hogging the Popular board. :grin: Yipeeee!!!!

Edit:
I see the video is now gone, but it had a great run.
It will be baaaack.

Am I grammatically correct in my “I shouldn’t have drank that much…”? Now I’m thinking it should be ” I shouldn’t have drunk that much!”. Where is Grammar Girl when I need her?

Marina, how about turning off gravatars for a day or so to see if that would speed things up? Even though each gravatar is small, it could be that 200 or so requests to the gravatar-icon-server is what is slowing page loads on HFW.

Hey, when you is tippsy all grammar is good. :lol:

Wow, you want me to get whiplash.
I am speeding along too fast already.

I shouldn’t have drunk that much last night. I drank yesterday. I will drink tomorrow. I am drinking now. I might have been drinking two days ago. I might have been drunk two days ago. (Preceding are just sentences to illustrate grammar — they are not statements of fact — I don’t drink.)

Homework :cool: Nope, I don’t anybody who eloped. But this couple did :!: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zok3tTtqkoI&feature=PlayList&p=737C4E4937FCA228&index=1

Pedantic, so did the text based link to YouTube that Marina provided help? Did you know that originally that text based linked added to direct views, and later was changed to add to referred views? If that link helped, which form of the link helped?

Found my cat

Hows your butt, after those peppers? :twisted:

I’m loving the bloopers! :mrgreen:

I have friends who eloped… in order to save money. My parents eloped (sort-of) because my father was shipping out to a new duty station. My grandparents were all happy about it, and wished them well, so it really wasn’t “running away.”

Hmm… drink, drank, drunk… Marina, you’re not getting too tipsy are you? Don’t get too crazy and get married in one of those chapels.

Hey, that’s a good word to do… [Chapel]

I have heard that “cheese,” or rather “fromage” comes from the Roman description of the cheese-packing process. They called cheese wheels “casseus formatus” (or something similar), meaning formed in a case (or mold). Any truth to this?

It was below 0 degrees again…my little Queenie(My cat), braved the [elements], in a shed and I found her soaking up the sun…freak me phu-king out…

:oops: I don’t know anybody… :oops:

I 2nd that request..Cheese Roll 2008 – Gloucester, England…wisconsin has better cheddar… :idea:

Homework: No. Marriage is grand. Divorce? Around a hundred grand…
The line in the Twelve Days of Christmas makes sense, now.
“Eleven lords aleaping….” :mrgreen:
Placing a ladder at the window and stealing away to get married is an old [cliche] here in the states.

Dear Marina, You saved a video you made in Las Vegas! You look so happy in you recent videos! It makes me glad to see and hear you. No my parents didn’t elope. I hope you don’t elope either, because you would look so extremely beautiful in a new, white wedding dress! Even I would pay a bit more than $50 for a quickie wedding in Las Vegas with you! :razz:
Seesixcm6!

Hi hs4mm,
As far as I can tell, the text based link and the destination link when double-clicking the video are identical. In either case, YT will recognize the click as an “&eurl=….”, or externally accessed link.

As I pointed out on the forum (my most recent posting), the clicks for the “Several” is very low (1%), yet the video was on the Popular board for 8+ hours. In, fact, two or three other HFW videos should have been on the board, but they are not, nor have they been, which means at this point in time (my limited knowledge so far), YT is capricious in placing videos on the Popular board.

A friend eloped because his parents didn’t think she was the right woman. He married her… elope style… and found out that his parents were right. She strayed away… started polishing other guys’ horns! :lol: :shock: :oops:

A moose in a shadow, the illusions will ill.umi.nation….Good job, Karl of pendantic…winter lives with Jack Ketch—[HEMP]—rope a dope :razz: Bees R Good

For almost 24 hours, the text based link did not have the “&eurl” part — see Several/Thread 64* including Marina’s comment at 64.2.

How much more :?: :?: :?: .crazy and funny___miraculous, such as, [MIRage]…go to first comment… :razz:

I would like to request the word, [Obtuse]
I changed it – Marina

We did have some friends that eloped. We did not find out until their “wedding” two years later. At the wedding, they told us that they had actually eloped before, and this was their two-year anniversary. I thought it was kinda funny, but Mrs. Somebody was pretty hurt by the whole thing. Mrs. Somebody and the bride were pretty close, but the missus was not included in the select handful who knew. It was kind of a bummer. :cry:

Hi hs4mm,
By not having the “&eurl” attached, YT would not know the referrer and give credit as a “click” to that referrer.
(Of course they would know the referrer via the HTTP server logs which is different.)

Visit the “Several” video on YT, then click the “Statistics & Data” button, then look at the clicks. Very low at 1%, compared to the “Smoking pot with Michael Phelps?” which is 17% and scriptgirls video which as 10%.

My conclusion is that one cannot isolate just one single variable and use that as the golden metric. There are lots of ratios at play which YT uses.

Ladders… hmm, would that make the couple eloping “step children”? or am I rung again?

You were correct the first rime. “Drank” is the correct past tense of the verb, “to drink.”
“Drunk” was an older past tense of “drink.” Today, “Drunk” is used as an adjective, “After I drank the booze Marina gave me, I was drunk for six hours. and Marina had her way with me.”

mirage: the length of time that the MIR (Russian Space Station) has existed in orbit.

Mir… I think that means “peace” in Russian. Could a mirage be an age of peace?… or perhaps peace itself it just a mirage.

I believe the format for requests, lately, would have you use these brackets [ ]…

Rambo508 requests the word [obtuse].

Maia will do that, too. She goes out, and it gets down to 10 degrees or so. I worry about her, but she seems to do fine. I guess she has a warm spot to go to at night. Generally, she just hangs down in the study with me, where the dogs don’t constantly harass her.

.

The perfect tense of the verb to drink “I have drunk.”

Some people get perfectly tense about bad grammar! :lol:

Hey Dez,

We need you at the ‘Pun My Word forum. Bob and I are running out of bilingual puns. Actually, we’re not, but fresh ideas are always welcome! :grin:

5th page is not a good run for me. I need to appear on the #1 and #2 pages. I am still very upset by all this.

***Marina gossip department*** :razz:

OMG, if M. needs a drive-through divorce, that means… :shock: :mrgreen:

No I didn’t elope and I really can’t think of anyone I know who has.
I remember reading somewhere that Vegas marrages or more likely to fail than others. :shock:

Elope? Like a rabbit? Never!

I think one must stand and fight the music. Even after having been as drunk as a lord!

And you should be upset. Although my data in my database is only 56,000 records, which is small, I am starting to see some interesting patterns develop. For example, I see the BBC is starting to make more and more appearances.

I’m studying all of the Page 1 videos to garner the common denominator. I see Buckey is on p1 -w the Pick A Hottie video, which might be understandable, due to the nature of the contest. He’s got like 9,000+ comments, a ton of them are mine, voting for you. :-)

I’m off for the next three days, so I’ve got lots of work ahead of me.

You sounded like a weed eater trying to start up at the end. I love the out takes and bloopers. :wink:
Yes I have known a two couples that have eloped. One was because of the parents not wanting the couple to marry, and the other didn’t have the money for a formal wedding. To this day both couples are still happily married. :smile:

She had a one night stand. :mrgreen: OMG Marina you didn’t. :shock: :razz: We all know you were kidding. You were kidding want you? :cry:

Well, some couples can, and some canteloupe :mrgreen:

……..help my video me seen.” from the text above
We can wait until James shows up and tells you it should be, ‘be‘ seen or you can fix it before he gets here. :shock:

Freudian slip?
With a nice room like that, I hope it wasn’t a one night STAND!

Marina, “my video me seen” makes no sense. Do you mean “My video be seen”? Oh that’s right you’re drunk! :)

Hey Bob I don’t have to worry about dogs bothering my cat, as he would probably eat the dog. :lol:

http://i41.tinypic.com/20haplw.jpg

:lol: :lol: I know what you mean fredjr. :wink:

As predicted, the “Several” video is
back on the Popular page 5, #82.
It may be up there for another 1-3 hours, or possible more.

UKULELE – I AM THE FLY…this what youtube pick as my fav :razz:

Hey everyone copy this comment below the line and go over to the channel attached to my name and paste it to help Marina get voted for Miss YT.

Yeah, come on in; the water in the mere is lovely. :grin:
{That’s not a fact, merely an opinion.}

Hey Mike, I’m sure everyone knows Marina, but Buckey has Marina listed as HotForWords in the video description, so I might recommend using that name as it will make it easier to count whoever is doing the counting.

… used to think elopes were used for sending emails… I miss seeing lividemerald around here, I suck at puns

I know it’s tradition, but why does the Brides side of the family have to pay for most of the wedding while the groom only gets by with a minimal amount? I figured it is a carry over from when women had to have dowries, but times have changed. It should be equal share between the two families to get their children married. You know women’s lib and all should have changed that. The bra burning was an excellent idea, but I see they went back to wearing them. So much for that. :???:

Well, I didn’t run away from anything, but I did get married on the other side of the world and didn’t tell anyone until afterwards – does that count?
And it wasn’t a $50 quickie either; there were over 200 guests and the wedding lasted a total of five days and was spread out over three months.
Edit: Just seen Capman’s comment below; I paid for all of it, so I’m determined to get the most value for my money and make it last. :twisted:

I see that stamps are going up again. We will paying e-money to the F-government to send e-mails in e-lopes if they have there way.

Ok thanks Karl, I didn’t see that part. So I’ll change my strategy and use HotForWords.

Womens’ Lib wasn’t a fight for equality; it was a fight to get all the advantages and privileges and none of the disadvantages and obligations. :evil:

:shock: Daaaamn! Is that fer real, or did you photoshop that? Mebbe the chick is like 4’2″ or something. OMG, it’s freakin’ HUGE! :oops:

What do you get if you set an ant-eater on an ants nest?
A lot of antelopes. :roll:

Was its daddy a lynx?

Hey Capman My wife is a seamstress and almost every Bride that come to her these days has everyone chipping in for the weddings, both sets of parents and the couple themselves. Times have changes and the costs are now out of this world.
I think eloping is the way to go. :lol:

I have a question for you Capman????? Do you know how long it takes to receive a prize when we win the Word Game? I’ve been looking in the mailbox everyday for mine.

I take it F stands for federal, but that is only one possible interpretation. :lol:

@Marina I did check by YT before I came here. The new vid had posted, so I guess that is working okay. I only get the e-mail from YT about once per week. I don’t know what the schedule is supposed to be. So – if I check YT, I get the updates on time. If I wait for YT to contact me, it is less than once per week, with a list of your last half dozen or so vids.

She bought furniture? A night stand?

I understoof the F to not mean federal.

No I don’t chiseltone, but I can email Marina and find out for you.

I think the gravatar images are cached at HFW, so every time a blog is sent out, the pix used are already at hand. That is why when you change your gravatar it takes a while for the new one to show up.

Looking at the HTML, it looks like the request each image from gravatar.com, but maybe there is some way to avoid that and retrieve them internally.

Tied you up and left you hanging in the hall closet, did she? :grin:

:lol: :lol:

My 2 cents: Dealyed updates of gravatar is because of caching at gravatar servers … if gravatars were cached at HFW, there would “never” be the case that a HFW page loaded with missing gravatars (and we have seen HFW pages with missing gravatars).

Marina you have advatageous, voluptuous, succulent well you know. Can you do these words for me please make reference to mountainboy32@youtube just shake your breast and talk with your sexy voice please. Any of the three words advatageous, voluptuous, succulent. I think if you do these with your flirtly sexy little way mention me mountainboy32. I have alot more big words. :lol: I am sorry if you get my recent e-mail. I thought you blocked me from your comment box on youtube. Sorry I am not always so dirty with my mouth.

The more, the mir-ier! :grin:

(Just remembered — “mor” means “sea” in both Russian and Welsh!)

Word request: [über]

E.g.: “A Russian is a sort of über-Celt: one who can out-sing a Welshman, out-fight a Scotsman, and out-drink an Irishman.” :razz:

Why ask for [obtuse]? It’s just a synonym for “male.” :razz:

Word Request :mrgreen:
[Cantelope] or [Canelope]
Not sure which is right :?:

I still love the sped-up outtakes. :smile: :lol:
My aunt eloped, but she and her husband divorced (or at least separated) about five years later. Meanwhile, I’m far from marriage, or a relationship for that matter. :sad:

I thought an auntelope was a herd animal of the Great Plains. :mrgreen:

It depends on whether the ladder is broken or not. :mrgreen:

Hey: maybe if you added the ratings icon gadget thingy…linked to YouTube—-it then would do what you might be after….my nap :cool: :???: :eek:

And ‘a cute’ is a synonym for female?

:lol:

Say something sweet to her in Italian, I’m sure she’ll forgive you. :razz:

That slipped my mind. Good one. :lol:

:shock: Maybe this woman should have eloped on her 23rd marriage :!: http://www.nbcchicago.com/news/weird/Indiana-Woman-Said-I-Do-23-Times.html?yhp=1

My biker friend thought to elope…David Allan Coe – Longhaired Redneck pt. 2 LIVE :razz:

Word request: [cheese]

If “casseus” is the Latin, then Spanish “queso” and Welsh “caws” are obvious cognates. “Cheese” could derive from it also, in the same way that “chief” came from “capita.”

The “mold” is of course essential to making blue cheese. :lol:

.
Between tigers and housecats, this must be the missing lynx! :mrgreen:

Digital eloping David Allen Coe – D-R-U-N-K..this song was the biker’ inspiration after the HotForWords lesson :twisted: :wink: :lol: Lexicon…rules!*!*!icon!*!*!

:lol: at the end it sounds like beatbox

Is the divorce rate the same for eloped couples ? Or are they married happily ever after ? :???:

Seems fun , 36 hours … the poor guy

Can’t get past the customs ? :shock:

“Friendly” :mrgreen:

Don’t fight music.. i love music, BTW i’m a guitarist.. :lol: i play better drunk :razz:

The room service dude ? :shock:

all your base are belong to us

Divorce rate for eloped couples is lower than with regular marriages…. but only because the annulment rate is higher.

I would like to request the etymology of the word [cursive].

Thank you. :)

Oy, what a bad pun… :mrgreen:

I looked up one source that says fromage comes from the Latin “caseus formaticus”… caseus, meaning cheese, and formaticus meaning formed or molded. This would make some sense as the Romans made great wheels of cheese. From this source it is described that the French modified formaticus (or formaticum) into fromage. The link between caseus and queso is definite, according to the Online Etymology Dictionary. As for the French blue cheese connection, we have another problem… is it pronounced “Roquefort” or “Roque-forte”? :mrgreen:

I agree about Wisconsin…

If this is what they do for a wheel of cheese, I’d hate to see what they’d do to themselves for a grilled-cheese sandwich! :twisted:

So we switch it around and sing like an Irishman, fight like a Welshman, and drink like a Scot… HaHa! We have them now! Or just scare them away with bagpipes and go early to the pub for a pint…

amen… and proved they can be just as bad mannered and abusive as the men they’ve been “liberated” from

Makes “Oh Give Me A Home…” sound really strange

I sea your pun and raise you another, lakewise… mor or less

Well well well…

Upset? I WILL NOT STAND FOR THIS…. Right, I will get a passport Marina, and be over soon. Bastards at YT what the hell do they think they are playing at. Someone needs to punch them in the server.

Marina, if Michael is your YT BF. Can I be your YT adopted child & prodigy?

I have the paperwork

James is my YT adopted child & Prodidgy

Saw some more Marina items today…. Why is it I see most of them when I visit my family 50 miles away… weird… Will post tomorrow.

Marina, on that photo of your room, what are those 3 strange box things? I know I am an an actor so I should know what they are but I have never seen anything like them before.

Elope? No, I cantaloupe.

I believe the closest thing to a drive-thru divorce is an [annulment]. Maybe, that should be your next word. I believe it can be done for no reason within 48 hours of the marriage. I think Brittney Spears had one of those. It might have been back when she was still claiming to be a virgin. I wonder if she still does that. I don’t know if that had any connection to why the annulment happened. It would make sense if the guy was upset because Justin Timberlake got there first. This was just after she was dumped by him. I wonder if she still claims to have real boobs too. You know how those growth spurts can strike so quickly and unexpectedly.
Annulments are good for the situation you were talking about where alcohol is involved, but I thought Russians could hold their vodka. As they say, “it’s always better to look before you leap” especially where marriage is involved. Why is divorce so expensive? Because it’s worth it.

I would like to make a request for the word “ostentatious”, please. Thanks you!

If you are worried about views 1 sure way to boost them is [lingerie] A good title, you and the origin of this strange word would make for maybe another million hit lesson.

Don’t forget! Elope spelled backwards is e pole.

I recommend an e ladder, since the poles are all being used by exotic dancers these days.

Yep, and the political system in this country has been a mess ever since womens’ sufferage. Now all the men in this country suffer from PMS. Women are the ones who have it, but the men are the ones who are suffering.

Urm,,,, There are still paged comments on older lessons.

AND HERE TOO :eek: :eek: :eek: :sad: OH MY FACE THEY ARE BACK!!!

:evil: :evil:

BE GONE WITH YOU :evil: PAGES BE GONE!

I think its time for out takes to go back to normal…

Dear HotForWords,

My sister eloped and that ended in a divorce, she remarried and has a family.

I sort of eloped and then ended in a sort of divorce.

Your Student,

Word Request:

[burlesque]

Marinas face showed up on my breakfast this morning too…. http://twitpic.com/1ksyo

Marina, I have noticed a ….. LESSON ERROR!!! The mutt video is listed again muttonhead in the video list.

Did I request this word … I forgot… well anyway I second it . I want to see a burlesue show, I love it how anyone can do it, its not just down to tarts.

Check out Phil Defranko’s comic skit about Marina.

That is soooo funny! Just like Jesus. :-)

Marina why doesn’t the timed starts for a video not work any more? I have tried both #T=01m20s and &start=80s and neither one will work,

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODt4aD_-qCs&start=80s

I couldn’t resist it, I wonder what Jesus would make of your vampire antics Marina….

By the way Marina, tomorrow I am posting a pic that proves you were born in 1300… Looks like I may have to ammend the info I found about you too.

Yeah I know – I had to move fast to beat Bob to that one! LOL! :mrgreen:

You know, that’s an interesting idea! Now before ya’ll accuse me of being a horny bastard, which I am, of course, hear me out. Marina, you could appear at the intro in some lingerie without showing more skin than appropriate. Just introduce it all flirty like you do so well to set up the tease. After that, heck, you could do the lesson in a bathrobe, or demonstrate with photos of lingerie models, or mannequins in lingerie. (Of course, if you decided to do the lesson wearing lingerie yourself I’d somehow force myself to view it, I guess.) My point is I concur with James about the view count, and most importantly, I would really like to see the effect a lesson like this might have in regards to the YT Most Popular algorithm situation. Maybe irrelavent; don’t know.

Homework: No, and no.

Always.

Never eloped, but wanted to be Living In Sin. :mrgreen:

The last numbers or letters want stay attached to the rest of the url. I noticed this in your demo url in the Tech site. The last letter is separate from the rest of the url.

I guess they keep breaking it, huh?

Sure! :-)

I requested it one time a few videos back. So I 3rd it.

LOL! Here in Florida, it’s all Marina …this, and thus-and-such Marina, Marina Blvd, Marina Way, etc.
all up and down the coast. :mrgreen:
I enjoy seeing the ones you find, though.

prodigy? heh heh heh heh!
Mozart was a prodigy… :mrgreen:

[band ... like a rock band]

Now you’ve done it, I’m curious… :mrgreen:
My first encounter with this phrase was as a cheat code for Empire Earth…
Marina? What is the origin of the phrase [all your base are belong to us] ?

By any chance is his name Garfield? :mrgreen:

Man! I THOUGHT we had some big cats.

Capman, I think that’s the biggest pussy I’ve ever seen.

Yeah, really. I’m pretty much the jalapeno kid around here, but that pic was impressive.

I would smell her feet. :mrgreen:

I love

[burlesque]

so here’s my 2 cents.

@BillyB:

Not to worry, I Sukkot Jewish puns. E.g.:

Q: Why is vinegar kosher?
A: Because it’s so Hasidic! :???:

Sorry, I didn’t mean to sound anti-semantic. :oops:

Don’t elope Marina, you’re too beautiful and sexy to be married :mrgreen: Just let all of us keep thinking we have a shot at you, it’s more fun that way :evil:

Hey Marina,
I live in Las Vegas and would love to show you around my town…
If you get that divorce, Let’s get marriend.
We can elope.
Or maybe we can be special friends, with benefits, if you can’t find that drive through divorce window.

“all of us”? fuck you.

So an elope isn’t an email antelope? :grin: :lol:

Eric M

Marina,
Since you did AK-47, could you also do the word [ BULLET ], like, faster than a speeding bullet?
Thanks

What ever!

Hi Marina,

Upon trying to email you several times, I keep receiving the message “Errors!No verification code generated”, even after typing in the verification code. How do I send you an email if this keeps popping up?

Hey Kristina, I used that contact site earlier and didn’t have any problems. Try Captain Jacks TA site and let him look into the problem or pass along your problem or request if it is not personal between you and Marina. If you need any more help let me know or one of the TAs know :smile:

By some chance, have you been reading “Julian’s Cell”?

Hey, something I was always curious about was the slang term “wifebeater” to describe a muscle t-shirt.

So, I would like to request [Wife-beater] as a word.

Cheers.

your lil icons under recent posts look like 6′s. your not a boobie trap are you? :lol:

Don’t mind him. English isn’t his first language.
He has “pronoun sensitivity disorder”. LMAO!! :mrgreen:

“Irrelavent?”
I need to slow down when commenting…

This might help…Beat your wife legally? by HotForWords :lol:

That one is about “rule of thumb” and if it came from beating your wife legally.

The one I am thinking about is the t-shirt

It seems like a lot of words come from beating spouses, though :razz:

Is the thin air getting to your brain, mountainboy? :mrgreen:
Take a deep breath and see if you can write a sentence WE can ALL understand – LOL!

You’re not making any sense… :roll:

Thanks Capman however I would think she has a ton of junk going on right now, to have to worry about dealing with something so trivial can wait awhile. I’ll wait a few more weeks before I ask again……

Thanks for the help.

It’s true, I tell you.

Oh, were it only that easy.

It has nothing to do with any particular lesson; one lesson is the same as another. It has to do whether or not WP is paged. If so, then all lessons, old or new, will be paged.

Marina, as a Russian, are you familiar with the connection between eloping and ladders? In the classic American elopement, the young woman is held captive in her room by her parents until her fiance comes with a ladder to her window to help her escape, whereupon they run off and get married. Hence all the ladder jokes in the comments. :smile:

Don’t mind him. English isn’t “mountainboy’s” first language either. :smile:

Mountainboy, I still say you’d come across better in Italian. :wink:

BTW, did you get the Willard Espy book on eponyms I sent you? :smile: Did I already ask this? :???:

It just dawned on me that, because comments are now assigned to a page, theoretically one could add lower-level comments in unlimited numbers and they would all have to remain associated with their parent comments and hence the page the latter are on. That means you could have a page with an unlimited number of comments.

It appears that the paging plugin puts 40 top-level comments on each page, with one exception. The latest page may have more than a multiple of 40. For example, one lesson had 137 top-level comments. Perhaps when the count gets high enough, an additional page is added and every comment over 40 on the previously-highest page is reassigned to the added page. I don’t know how that works yet. The point is that, even though 40 per page plus an average number of lower-level comments is the design goal, the number of the latter is not controllable. Thus it is conceivable that an undesireably-large page could occur, thus defeating the goal of paging.

OK, let’s get out there and really pump those babies up!!!!! :!:

Boa-reese! Time to keel moose and skvirrel :mrgreen:
(just once, Marina – pleez!) :cool:

howdy, I think I know but I would like to you explain[Crock-Pot]. thanks.

Clarification: The example lesson with 137 t-l comments had pages of 40, 40 and 57. (I guess they don’t want to create a new page just for 17 comments.)

I should have drank that much sounds correct. no? sober two years today!

A crock is a baked clay vessel. The word pot is superfluous, but in 1970 it was added to crock create a catchy brand name for electric pots. The name has become so familiar (and thus successful) that it is now used for BBQ grills, rice cookers and electric spankers. OK, not the last one.

After a day and a half, my vote still won’t increase M’s total. Youse guys say I have to clear my cookies, but what could be in them to do this?

I would like to request [compassion]. Thank you

New default at YouTube: Rising Videos (then “Popular”, then “Most Viewed”)

Marina, I’d like to second that please.
Vshagios, thank you for the good suggestion.
A little lie, hmm.. would that be a pile o’ Bull-ette?

Most Popular is still the default.. but it’s another level of obscurity that they are creating. Nice.

haha one day id like to elope with the man of my dreams. one day :)

for now, i request the words [arrest]
because you can be arrested by the police but there’s also cardiac arrest!

and the word [prom]
we dont say prom in australia.. interesting to know where the word came from! :mrgreen:

I’m sorry, I’m no expert on English grammar, but “I shouldn’t drank so much” doesn’t sound right to me…
Isn’t it “I shouldn’t have drank…” ?
Thanks.

Hahaha, the way the video starts… (*bleah*)
Is that supposed to be a reflection of the fact that you drank to much last night? :-)
I hope you found that drive through divorce place you were looking for.
If not, I’d like to wish you a… Stone house!?
I don’t know what is the English correspondent, but in Romania we wish newly weds “Casa de piatra!”, meaning “House of stone!”.
It’s a way of wishing strength and unity between the two.
Does anyone else practice such tradition?
Or do you just congratulate them, and that’s that? :-)

If it’s not this ton of junk, it’ll be another ton of junk.
The idea is to keep it down to a mere one ton! And not several. Right? :-)

Hey daboilermaker.
Welcome to the club!
Congratulations on creating your new account, you’re one of the cool fans now! :cool: :mrgreen:

Nice to have you back again. Ajungilaq. :smile:

Marina O.

Sounds like fun love.
A plan for life…

Stay well , and keep them coming!

I lived in SIN for a couple of years. :grin:

Here, Lady M. I think you dropped this:{ :roll: }

We always have have plenty to spare around here. :grin:

Is a parasite a web site that plagiarizes other peoples’ intellectual property?

What about the word [morph] thank you i love you :) :oops:

YAY!!!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

“I shouldn’t have drunk so much last night.” would be correct.
{Pedantically speaking. Sorry PK to be stealing your trousers. I promise I’ll wash them before you get them back.}

Aha, thanks Bob.

What do you know… it’s snowing upwards right now.
Now I think I’ve seen everything! :-)

Does anyone know what happened to the first ta?

Elope to the prom… :smile:

This isn’t good is it Marina, I can see another strike happening soon. What do they think they are playing at???… idiots.

I love how if a someone is built like a brick shithouse they are strong….. but what about a shit brickhouse? :grin:

I am not being nasty here but….. Is

Really neccessary?

LOL

eLope

All that bollox

:cool:

Beautiful gravatar. That’s your eye, isn’t it, misscupcake?
Beautiful eyes.

well, sorryfor ur all but i am gonna say what i want to say can i help it you all don’t dare to say [cumming] on this post geez… fucking negative comments on my post because all i wanted to know the origin of the word [cumming] that’s silly

.

Don’t know if this will help or hurt, but something to consider:

1) Create a page http://www.hotforwords.com/todays_word (or todays_lesson etc.) that always loads the latest lesson. Then have other sites such as FoxNews/O’Reilly, sirius, the foreign magazines that have written up on Marina, Pepsi(?) etc. link to that particular page.

2) Sony has their own web-site to showcase people’s videos: http://www.crackle.com/tos and they sponsor Penn (Jillette of Penn & Teller) on crackle and also on http://www.youtube.com/pennsays .

So what are the pros and cons of having HFW on crackle also?

3) In a rather long video, Penn makes one very interesting point about the internet: it is replacing “democracy (rule by the mob)” by “leading individuals”.

If there are C comments, D discussion threads, and the topmost block is B then there are (B-D) isolated comments and the average length of a thread is (C – B + D)/D. :)

Hi Kristina, Are you still having issues?

pages ….
oh yeah , [pager]

hmmm , it seems that there aren’t any Maxim radio lessons for a while …

Hear’s a tuff one,,, [CLEVER]. thanks

Congrats misscupcake for being right net to venetianprincess (536k views) and sxephil (338k views)!

Oh.. you should put your channel fiveandahalfgirls on autoplay. It will double the amount of views you will get per video, plus people actually prefer it.

You are kicking ass girl! I hope you are enjoying it?

I invented that James. I wanted to account for the odd number on the upper right of each comment by showing that it’s related to discussions. But if you think it’s worthless then I can kill it I suppose.

if I could get a life-like picture of you [tattooed] on the inside on my eyelids, I wouldn’t…. because that would be weird.

WORD REQUEST.

Hi Hotforwords,

Could you tell me why the expression “for good” means “forever/permanently”?
I’m confused because “good” means somenthing totally different.

Thanks

Pretty please, use your etymology skills to discuss the origin of the word [game].

Keep it — it edifies something (the upper right number) that would be puzzling otherwise.

‘Forest Gump’ snow, eh? I’ve seen that in the cities up north…
“They’s great big fat fluffy snow, and itty bitty sting-ging snow…”
“One day, it started to snow, and it didn’t stop for three monthes” :mrgreen:

Oh, well I guess in that case it is worth keeping then.

Hi Chemikal,

That’s “Casa de piedra” in Spanish. Random comment, I was just struck by the similarity.

I can’t think of any similar American tradition, though sometimes we wish newlyweds mazel tov. :lol:

Evan

Word request: [petrify]

Welcome back, misscupcake,

We were just commenting yesterday that we should have more comments by women and maybe we men should create a more female-friendly environment. What do you think? :smile:

I was doing a bit of css stuff and everything looks fine, only 1 thing, personally, I think the paged comment stuff looks better on the left.

Check your music player…HotForWords theme song’, sounds a little funky…I blast your music with a funky mix…B’s R Goode :eek: :???: :lol:

Marina, You need to sort out this page, because the background is black…

http://www.hotforwords.com/forums/?mini-stats

Also, I have been watching it for a few months now and it looks like the daily registrations are always going downhill … the started at 2000 now its 677…

Wow, James; Marina says you think. :lol:

This comment was not meant to be here….. SEE thread 85

Thanks for pointing that page out to me… I didn’t realize it was there. I disabled it, as I want to see what other information that page provides other than stats (if any).

User registrations follow the amount a views my videos get. Until YouTube stops messing with the ENTIRE functionality of its site, my videos and user registration will suffer as a result.

Could you maybe just keep the graphs about who psts most etc there? I liked seeing them…. By the way mum I am working on something, should be able to show you soon.

Mum, there is a phishing website in embedded videos apparently, I don’t know, I can’t quite understand wht they are saying, I tried to sign in on it and it did nothing, but I am not sure about it…

http://help.youtube.com/group/youtube-issues/browse_thread/thread/11a2d7e5a506adc8#

Marina, I’ve heard British actors use the phrase [Bob's your uncle] in movies and have always wondered about its origin. I’ve heard it in the context of elapsed time, such as, “I’ll be there faster than you can say, ‘Bob’s your uncle’”. Where, when, how and who originated it?
Thanks a bunch, Sssspike

Todays featured video, picked by the machine…Michael Kors Fall 2009 runway show, Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week…request [HONG KONG] as a city with the weight of the pound******or what did ALEXANDER the first(1) do in 1815? God bless hot forwards :roll: :razz: :wink:

:cool: YAH-HOO :!: 10,002 people have veiwed my 20 videos :!: :grin:

James.. if you want to use those stats, then you need to figure out how to make the background white. I can’t change the CSS for the entire forums. Mini-stats creates a style sheet for the page it puts out. If you can figure out where I can put the background: white; bit or #ffffff, bit, then tell me and I’ll do it.

HW: No, and no.
I assume you are joking, Marina, about drinking too much and eloping, a la Britney S.

So you’re the little frog in Marina’s Snowstorm Toy. (on the left of the picture)
Or are you the wolf on the right? “Oh! Marina, what big …”

Marina i would like to request the word [soda]

Ok, I need the page to work on because I work it out as I go along, can you put it up and I will work on it asap. Just making a YT background at the moment.

To read the numbers, select the page (by doing Ctrl-A on Windows or by dragging the mouse) — this will make the numbers visible. If you do want to change the page, consider changing the color of the font and leaving the background as-is (in addition to changing the background).

What?

Click to see visible numbers.

Elope=”Most forgotten word…forever”…request-[FOUR], not flour that sounds like our(hour)..like 4-H clubs or Four Forest Cantons or Four Lakes; fore what ever you forwards to the forum, and befor the {4 HORSEMEN(why no ladies?) of APO.CA.lypse} peace of pie :grin: Head-Heart-Hands-Health******hail thee ETYMOLOGIA_ISMS :lol:

Keep an eye out for this Associated Press television segment about me :-)

Right, I will have a look at it in a bit…, GRR my youtube background toatlly messed up on me….. GRRR

Elope with me, Please. My life would be complete.

Marina you have advatageous, voluptuous, succulent well you know. Can you do these words for me please make reference to mountainboy32@youtube just shake your breast and talk with your sexy voice please. Any of the three words advatageous, voluptuous, succulent. I think if you do these with your flirtly sexy little way mention me mountainboy32. I have alot more big words. :lol: I am sorry if you get my recent e-mail. I thought you blocked me from your comment box on youtube. Sorry, I am not always so dirty with my mouth.I love you hunnie.

Can you tell me how I can put my own image on my profile?

Got my radar activated…

Considering that Associated Press is hogging the Popular pages, that news item should hit YT Popular page#1

Interestingly, AP has not been in the #1 spot, but has been in every position from #2 – #100.

Definition of hogging:
Since Feb 3, I have 573 data snapshots of the YT Popular pages and AP has appeared 1,556 times. How can that be? Multiple videos. AP is averaging about 2.7 videos per data snapshot. Right this minute, there are two AP videos on the Popular pages at #31 and #44

In comparison, the following have appeared:
iJustine: 33 times
HotForWords: 66 times
sxephil: 462 times
WhatTheBuck: 377 times
out of 573 data snapshots.

Hello mountainboy32,
The image next to a username is called a Gravatar (Globally Recognized Avatar). To add an image, follow the directions at the link above; click Help/FAQ, then scroll down to the section that says, “How do I get one of those cute pictures…”

Yo!

I have nothing intelligent to say today. Absolute inspirational blackout!

Nevertheless, what the heck! Always in search of new knowledge and ideas, I thought I’d aim right for the pink box to see how it feels to be surrounded by this foreign, yet attractive colour! So inside the pink box my words are! Funky!! Funny! Spiffy! Pink above, pink below, pink on the left… All right! I guess I need to get outta here now.

I’m pretty sure this Associated Press Television Segment will be great. :smile:

Awesome behind the scenes HotForWords interview
from OM TV2 Denmark.
http://nyhederne.tv2.dk/politik/article.php/id-20583691.html

Loved seeing the equipment and behind the scenes setup.
Marina, you were awesome in this interview!!!

Thanks for finding this, and reporting it here! Saw it, and am speechless!

Yes, breathtaking, and yes, speechless.
Marina is just awesome!!!

:grin: Thanks Karl! That was very C :cool: :cool: L :!:

That’s raw footage.. that is not the full interview. I’ll try to find one with everything.

Going for a hat trick in my first attempt:

[blonde]

[cat's pajamas]

[Marina]

Kewl :cool:

[farewell]

Wow some behind the scenes stuff. I love how you work so well with the camera. I look at mine, but youw ill still se my eyes divert now wand then.

Do you sleep with all that stuff in there?

I have looked at the page, I cant get it to white, But I can get it the same color as the background.

In the css find the bit called wrap (it’s easy to find, It’s the bit above ************hyperlinks********

Change it so it looks like this

#wrap {
background: #fffff url(images/bg.gif) center repeat-y;
width: 990px;
margin: 0px auto 0px;
padding: 0px;
}

I know it looks odd, but it seems to me like it doesn’t matter what colour I tell it to be its either grey or black..

Marina,

My name is Carlos and to make a long story short, I tutor esl students; they always ask where certain words come from and I was hoping you could help me with one in particular. Where does the idom [z's] come from like? To [catch some z's]? Hope you can help. Thanks for your time.
Carlos.

Fantastic done job, pendanticKarl. Marina, you were awesome in this interview :razz: :razz: just like Karl of pandantic wrote. :lol: *****

I could help myself I had to grab some screen shots for posterity. You know the archives. :wink:

[Vanity] always wondered about this word…

Zach

Marina Here is Ap’s video of your appearance.

Check out AP’s page. :grin:

I’m dying to know [explorer]

Check your e-mail Marina.

Marina has already been made…. :razz:

http://www.hotforwords.com/2007/12/23/happy-holidays/

Good find Capman, judging by the way Marina types working in the secretarial pool is out of the question. :razz: :razz:

Way to go and thanks, pedanticKarl!

Marina…FANTASTIC!!!

[collateral]

Hi Marina, I would like to request the phrase [Shooting the breeze]. Thanks! :grin:

Thanks to you also, Capman!

Marina, again, fantastic! This should really be another GREAT BIG DEAL for you. I hope this picks your spirits up after the “algorithm shennanigans”.
Everybody’s behind you. Always know this.

[Desert Eagle]
I’d like to see how you portray that one… :D

Agree.

[identity]
I’ve been thinking about this word a lot lately because it has two words in it, “id” and “entity” and these could kind of be used to describe a person. Maybe it’s just a coincidence that these two words are in the word “identity,” but I thought I’d ask you about it anyway.

A string of Zs is an attempt to spell the sound of sleeping (snoring).

I don’t know what a “blond brystbombe” is, but it sounds right to me!

I hope she doesn’t see us creeping up on her. :lol:

Sometimes the bride is not quite willing, so the groom brings a pole with a hook on the end of it to reach in through the window to pull her out of the window to the ladder. As a matter of fact, Capman did exactly that and was the first in his family to use a hook and ladder. :lol:

It’s true, I tell you.

I have a word request…

[frank] or [frankly]

It just makes me wonder who this guy named Frank was, and why is there a word which means ‘straightforward’ named after him (assuming this is the case, likely not)?

Marina,
……Good LUCK on the drive through Divorce place :razz: :razz: See what happens when we drink to much, we all get Beer Goggles and the potentials all get more desirable at closing time, oh that’s right no closing in Vegas, Hmm Here is some music for You, just change girl/women for boys/men. And NO! I’m not saying you hang around/out in the backstreet bars. :smile: :smile:

Marina,
….No I didn’t elope We had a proper church wedding :neutral: :neutral: unfortunately i lucked out and married the second girl that asked me , much to my demise. :smile: :smile: Oh well thats been over almost a little over 20 years. :smile: :smile:

I was wondering why it wasnt auto playing; I went into settings and turned it on :wink:

I dont understand how Im next to sxephil and venetianprincess though. Where are you seeing that lol :oops:

I am enjoying it yes :mrgreen: I have many cool ideas for it that I will act out in the next month or so yay!

I did try to email to the link you provided, but I received the same error as with Marina’s email, which is why you haven’t heard from me.

Never mind. I’ll sort it out on my end. Thanks for your help. The email was initially a complaint about choice of certain usernames people register with on this site, which are offensive and inappropriate considering children visit this site too, and that Marina herself bleeps out expletives that come out of her mouth. I was just wondering if there was some sort of monitoring system of username registers.

:)

I’m sending you a direct email of my reply to your concerns.

ah danke….guess I should’ve prowled the site a bit more beforehand huh

No I didn’t elope but I did get divorced in Las Vegas. I don’t know how much that was becaus my ex-wife came back to this country just to divorce me :sad: and paid for it all. :cool:

I am smart enough to know that if I ever do get married that my part in the decision making ends the moment she says, “yes.”
Running off to Vegas does make a lot of sense to me though.

I know what the zzz stands for, I want to know when it was first used.

I’d love to Elope to Vegas to play poker and marry you; If it don’t work out I’m sure you can afford the divorce.

[vitamins]…cool and good luck :lol: wow…my random lesson and comment too :P [saltwater]
