GTW Game XVI

help

i can not hear it

OK, I’m ready the answer is not grotto,
Oh! a phone call is tossed in to sweeten the pot. ;-)

Wow. I need to get cracking on this one. A phone call from Marina? I’m disqualifying myself for everything, but that phone call. :grin:

Bore da, a Dydd Padraig Sant hapus ichi i gyd! :grin:

I’ve haven’t cash in my prize yet, maybe I hold out for a kiss :oops:

There are no I, S, or M. and the third letter is a A.

chaperon =)

Yea, that is what a lot of people on Youtube have been guessing.

CHAPERON

If anyone wants to back up their claim on Chaperon(e), My question is… who is the Youtuber she likes minus 3 letters add 2 numbers?

Are these ppl you hate often seen at the high school dance?

I use to go to a Catholic school dance, the priest there were in charge of “monitoring” us youngins. On more than one occasion
while dancing to close to my girlfriend this priest would come up to us, separate us and then say, “Leave room for the Holy Ghost.”

gratuity

Dear совершенная Марина,
To see if it gets stolen, I posted the answer of “crackers” on YouTube. Remove three letters and you get “Acker.”
Here’s a request: Please change the Roman Numeral on your video title “16″ is actually “XVI”, not “VI” (which is six). The title should be “GTW XVI.”
(It’s a side benifit from having seen so many Superbowl Games! I’ll post my actual answer to your GTW XVI game, later.) :razz:

Peron75 (WHATTHEBUCKSHOW)

Okay, now I believe it is the word :D

Home work= Chaperon

Yeah Perone75 is her YT boy friend. I think she has a crush on him. hehehehe.

My guess is Chaperone, too. Does spelling count because I spell it with an “E”, even though I’m a guy.

…and when I refer to guys,too.

:grin: Chaperon e… chaperon… :grin:

reargard…rearguard…I Give(uncle)…chap.er.one….chaplain…chappel of love :grin: :smile:

Hope you are having a great Patty’s day.
I would like to request the word [smitten]. I think the meaning has changed in the last 10 years.

chaperone :neutral:

Marina when your videos play back they show that they play back at either HQ35, HQ22 or HQ18. Does the chipset in our computers pick up on what signal is best for it and play back to suit it’s need for best picture quality?

No contest! It’s chaperone! :idea:

chaperon/chaperone

Homework :cool:
It’s chaperone.

Chapertwo!

Someone give that man a cigar. :grin:

chaperone.

Wow… A call from you… that would have to be the best thing ever. Alot of people could die happy then Marina.

CK They’re chaper by the dozen.

{ Oh nooooo! Che has been bitten my the pun bug } :grin:

Thanks a bunch Marina…. :cry:

All of the possible ways I could have made it

jamesingt0n3rd

you destroyed

by using

I S & M

:cry: :cry:

:smile:

Yo ho ho my dear estimated fellow students! Hey, today is St-Patty’s day!! How are we doing?

I probably said no, nay, never no more will I play the wild rover no more in the past, but heck, it’s time for beer, pints of Guiness! Stout by the barrel, by the truckload!! I think a little leprechaun dance is de rigueur while we’re still on our feet, exiting the class for today! :grin: :mrgreen:

Just a parenthesis, I think the teacher trusty, best of the west HVR-V1U is mounted a little too high in this video. We can’t distinguish very well her stupendous bo.. erm.. her stupendous blackboard background. :smile:

I have a cigar from Bill Clinton, he said he kept it in a warm moist place :grin:

Be careful who you call Marina. They could be really nasty. At least if you ring any of us you know we are already controlled enough by your sophisticated mind control techniques not to ask you to do innappropriate things. We will ask appropriate things.. Like in my case, how to spell innappropriate ..

When the waitress comes around order me a Black & Tan

This actually wasn’t hard at all. Very entertaining though! :>
chaperon

Ahoy? Ahoy? :-)

.

Answer: Chaperon[e] and peron75.

Incidentally, I actually got peron75 before chaperon! Because peron75 has something to do with what Marina likes! I know that better than I know “social norms/customs”!

–Hs4Mm

.

Oh my God Marina!
Could you please do one GTW in russian?
PLEASE! If i win, you can call me in Moscow and you can talk to me in Russian!!

Hey Mike, how are you? Hope you are feeling better. I was under the weather a little bit.

Here is a quiz for everyone. Why does Marina like the YTuber Perone75 very much? She said it in a comment last year.

.

Regarding the connection to priests: Some might think a priest would act as a chaperon; but others — including myself — would say that a chaperon is needed when priests are around kids!!! Priests are twisted. Another connection would be “head covering, hood” maybe popular among priests.

–Hs4Mm

.

Hi Mike, James is correct.
Specifically, look at your YT account where you can set up your Playback Quality. When you log into your YT account, click the link at the top that says, “Account”, then on the left side of the page is a link that says, “Playback Setup”. When you click that, there will be three choices you can select.

It’s Michael Buckley, she said he was very nice to her at the YT show that went on in 2008. I think he was the one that grabbed her boobs when he went to interview her.

Ok I have ever noticed that before.

Class, clearly what’s going on here with the [allure] of a phone call from Marina is that Teacher has devised a clever way to get my phone number.

Firstly, she threw away my homework when I penned that epic limerick, hiding behind the facade of the bizarre and inexplicable disappearance of the Lesson of Annotations. Secondly, she’s shunning a whole entire holiday and its traditions by snubbing the requests of limerick & leprechaun, alongside a growing list of other HF_HFW-suggested superior words just waiting to be investigated and defined.

Now, I could solve this equation on the board, but instead I’m going to walk out of class because, well, I’m the kind of kid who wears orange on St. Patrick’s Day. But I’ll still pinch her on the way out since she’s not wearing green.

Shits are not currently being given in honor of St. George.

The flu I had kicked my butt for about three to four weeks. I took the flu shot and something went wrong and I ended up having to keep gong back to the doctor for more meds. I don’t know why they just didn’t put me in the hospital as bad as i felt and as many times as I had to keep going back. I feel a lot better now.

I would have to guess chaperon
When I was younger I never needed one because I was always so innocent and never did anything to cause any need for a chaperon. :grin:

Wait
There was this one time at band camp….

I will “guess” chaperon(e), and the YTer is peron75. :cool:

which end of the leprechaun were you chasing :lol:

By the way, in judging the answers, I think it is important to judge the completeness of the answer: two spellings, connection to single people is too obvious and can be omitted, connection to priests, and, importantly, connection to YouTube channel.

Now that you have your license you’ll probably have one of those ridding in the back seat with a shot gun keeping you two from doing the no no. :lol:

Like it makes a difference

{ Che smirks @ capman }

Look at it this way James she used S & M in there some where. :lol:

addendum per hs4mm: Priests would desire a chaperon in lieu of the scandals involving young boys. Many doctors have female nurses who act as chaperon in some cases. As a teacher, I make sure that I am never alone with a student behind closed doors. As a parent, some of the things just seemed right. For instance, whenever I gave my daughters a bath, I always made sure the door was open. I did not require myself to be chaperoned, but I also know that appearances often count for more than facts do. :sad:

I keep my shotgun in front, just in case someone feels the need to chaperon me! :mrgreen:

Looks like cap is getting back to his ol’, chipper self again. :smile: Ya feeling better?

OH yea :grin:

Our dear teacher is mentioned is this funny song about YT’s sad state of affairs. Will Hyler – Here on YouTube

You by some chance didn’t play the flute did you?

My mom told me that nuns always traveled in pairs, it you watch the movie Doubt you will see examples.

yeah, the mormons do. their missionaries. it’s either two guys or two girls. probably so they don’t get tempted or something. too bad, a lot of them sisters look pretty good.

After Catholic school I went to religious instructions as they called it. The priest there was really cool, taught us about sex (with girls).
He was from an old money family, upgraded the bland church car to a Ford Thunderbird.
He ended up getting married to a nun, wish I knew the story behind that connection. :shock:

:razz: The word is DEACONESS. Take away :arrow: DEA and you get conessa, then just add a cross symbol “T” into conTessa and you get Venetian Princess. And of course Marina likes Venetian Princess, she’s very likeable!

.

I am tempted to mention a joke I heard while in a Catholic high-school (about 13 yrs old). It was probably the very first joke I ever heard; I enjoyed it even more because even then I had a low opinion of priests and could see that the events in the joke could actually happen. A woman goes to a priest and tells him she wants to become holy and asks him for guidance. The priest says he can help her become holy and asks her to visit him that evening.

Since the joke is not clean, you’ll need to click here to read rest of joke.

–Hs4Mm

.

Now the Jehovah Witness would send some pretty girls around on Saturday morning.
The problem was it was Saturday morning, after a Friday night of drinking and dancing it was so inconvenient to wake up to someone preaching.
A friend of mind figured out a way to get rid of them, no so much the pretty gals or their very doable mothers but the guys in suit & ties.
He would answer the door with a cigarette and beer if that wasn’t enough to run them off he would open his rope & show his junk.
They must have put him on a list after that no one ever came back.

I thought I saw some comments in colored fonts … but I could not color my text. I was thinking of writing my joke (6.1.1 below) in white font, so that only those who wanted to read it could do with by selecting the text. But I could not get any colored font, and ended up presenting the ending of the joke as an image.

Anyway, can one use colored font for comments and if so, how?

Homework: Chaperon (sometimes spelled chaperone)
Single men and women do not like them (around),
Very popular around male priests awhile ago,
(because of pedophelia issues concerning parents
of young boys?)
Remove three letters and add 2 numbers to get a
YouTuber’s screen name, Marina likes very well.
Peron75 seems to fit this answer, unless the “e”
is included; then it’s perone75
.
I will admit I did not know all of the information
necessary to give such complete answer, but…
Hey! I’d like to get a phone call from Marina as
much as any other hot red blooded, single
man in this room!
I’m wishing me good luck on the “random” draw :mrgreen:
.
Oh yeah, thanks Marina. I’m not bored on this
fine St. Patrick’s Day. We haven’t had rain in three
monthes, but today we got a nice douching.
Everything will be green again, tomorrow….

You can use the BBcodes in the forums to mess with text color, size, etc.
… but it won’t work on the comment pages. :mrgreen:

I would Luv to see HOT FOR WORDS find the origin of the word……….. TURD .
I know this sounds excretionally weird, but…… (ha ha) I was watching the movie, WEIRD SCIENCE, and that scene of the TURD appeared. I immediately
wondered where the origin came from. I’m sure HOT FOR WORDS can really do a great job “flushing” out the answer. Ha ha ! !

Always a pleasure to see Marina explain an origin of a word.

I highly suggest wearing an outfit wearing a French beret…..

Fake glasses would make you look more GEEK-ish …. if that’s the look your going for………

Pav, that’s not fair to the rest us who don’t speak Russian. I’ll call the FSB and tell on you. :lol: :razz:

Chaperone Monkey :roll:

FAR OUT

That’s a feather in your Chapeau. :grin:

Don’t get too excited, James, I believe she meant a Ringtone.

That was really quite good. Although HFW is “sexy”, and not “about sex”, of course.

Thanks, Che.

Gah, beat me to it. I knew I should have taken a half day at work today. :wink:

If you take away the L from leprechaun and change the U to an O, what do you have an [anagram] of? :cool:

What a thought – I bet that old bastard “made one of those up” back then and hung onto it.

Homework: CHAPERON

Even if I’m right, it’s still a SWAG because I haven’t been around YouTube long enough to have made the connection with peron75/Buckley that many of you knew about. I knew Marina called him her internet boyfriend, but “peron75″ was new to me.

I had never heard of peron75 before today either … what I did was go to hotforwards page on YouTube and look at the list of all the videos she marked as favorite — the only channel that matches 5 letters and 2 numbers is pheron75! BINGO! (I did know that Bucky is her “YouTube boyfriend” and remember reading her comment indicating that she considered him a nice guy.)

chaperon
Why would you hate someone that is older and wiser than you?
That’s just :lol:

Heathenry

Sacrebleu! Why did I not think of this word before (not a guess the word game entry)
Perhaps the word “Dalliance” would be of interest to the civilized world?

Chaperone I’m guessing. Single people, especially kids, hate them.

The word is CHAPERON(E)

Marina can you make a video of the word General
and why it was called general whats the connection with general as in like an unspecific kind and General in the army please make a video :grin:

GTW game involves word origins — connection to priest has to do with origin of word chaperon! (Mentioned in my answer 31, 31.1 below.)

bsomebody, Thanks for the citation of my answer (31, 31.1 below), but the citation is incomplete — there is more information in my answer: GTW game involves word origins — connection to priest has also to do with origin of word chaperon!

Dear HotForWords

Somebody gets to talk to you on the phone!

Oh man… I should have asked for that! :oops:

Your Student,
ThoughtOnFire

Hi Marina my answer chaperon :lol:

Marina you are such a cuteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. I Love YOuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu :roll: :roll: :razz: :razz: :razz: :razz: :razz: :razz: :razz: :razz: :razz: :razz: :razz: :razz: :razz: :razz: :razz: :razz: :razz: :razz: :grin: :grin: :grin: :???: :???: :???: :???: :???: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile:

Good luck you wish you could call me I will give you what you want if you ==know what I mean.

Marina word request [COMB OVER] just DO IT

Hello Marina!
I’d like to request the words [onion] its always been a funky word to me:]]
Thank you!!!

Well MB,

That’s quite an impressive display of LOVE indeed. :lol: :lol: :lol:

But say the word dude. So she can call you!! The word I think is chap.. chape… well.. I don’t know exactly.. I’m just guessing.. :cool:

JUST DO IT

:grin:

Welcome back, Mike!

I read your comments below. :grin:
English is my native tongue, and the game is called
“Guess the word”, not Guess the word origin – sorry.
In my answer, I restated the clue accurately. :mrgreen:
Awhile ago there were many stories involving priest/pedophiles
in the news.
Marina does not say this clue has to do with the word’s origin, as it relates to priests.
I think you have misinterpreted this somehow. :neutral:

Hey Marina,

Congratulations on breaking the 170 million mark! You’re an incredible lady!

Always.

Chaperone, Marina, you can “call me, call me, call me call me call me any…time, call me” im not a blonde Teacha, but call me , im soo ready to hear from ya! If you have what it takes.. . . call me! :cool:

.

OK – In my answer, I covered three connections: priests acting as chaperons, priests needing chaperons, and the clothing of priests (as it relates to the origin of chaperon). Of the three connections, I believe the one Marina had in mind was the one between the priest’s clothing and the origin of the word.

We’ll know what she had in mind when the answer comes out.

My take is that GTW actually means Guess the Word Based on Clues Relating to the Word’s Origin. This game happens on a site devoted to the origin of words; and the GTWs I have been involved with (hacker, curfew, gargoyle, matrix, maudlin, and this one, chaperon) have all involved the origin of the word.

–Hs4Mm

Yup! You definitely misinterpreted the clue.
When you say your “take” indicates to me you
are reading more into what is said, than is being
stated. You didn’t take the clues at face value.
(I got some of the information in my response
from your answer, by the way ):mrgreen:
Until Marina explains the clues, we have to
muddle through as best we can…

Chaperon!

It’s OK to kiss a nun, as long as you don’t get into the habit. :lol:

‘Cause they try to stop you from doing all the bad stuff that you shouldn’t be doing!! Of course we don’t learn this until much later in life! :???:

Patience, laddie, as a Russian, Marina can’t be expected to immediately understand the importance of this Celtic holiday and its traditions. (Lady M, I recommend Thomas Cahill’s How the Irish Saved Civilization.)

Now then, if your limerick has disappeared, please re-post it, as I’m not wantin’ to be the only one here posting them.

As far as Irish traditions, me father (may he rest in peace), whose pedigree included not only Welsh but both orange and green Irish, told me the story of a man caught in a street battle in Belfast, and sheltered in a doorway to escape the bullets. A combatant running by spotted him, stopped and demanded, “Protestant or Catholic?” Not knowing which answer would save his life, the man answered, “I’m an atheist!”

“Aye, but are ye a Protestant atheist or a Catholic atheist?!”

.

Each night, father fills me with dread
As he sit on the foot of me bed;
I’d not mind that he speaks
In gibbers and squeaks,
But for twenty long years, he’s been dead! :mrgreen:

[limerick]

Да, GTW по-русский пожалыста, но не очень трудно! :grin:

Thanks for the idea of [expression.] I appreciate it sincerely!!!!!!!!!! :razz:

Marina I like to be your [chaperon]. :razz: :roll: :lol: but Marina you need to behave or I will spank you.

Some woman at the St. Paddy’s Day party tonight at Glynn’s Pub started fondling my butt. I turned and looked at her inquisitively, and she replied, “It was right next to my Guinness. What did you expect?” :lol:

Sorry, James, but mention St. George in the US and the answer is “St. who?” (According to our census, ethnic Irish outnumber those of English extraction by about 4:3, but add the blarney factor and the ratio is more like 5:1.)

If it’s any consolation, not many people here know about St. David (Dewi Sant) either, in whose honor we don’t give a shit, but rather take a leek. :mrgreen:

Don’t call me. I’d get all tongue tied! :grin:

DISAGREE WITH THE WISDOM PART MAYBE MORE KNOWLEDGEABLE BUT, AGE DOESN’T DISCRIMINATE ON WISDOM…

What happen to the little box where you can click on all the recent lessons?

But she can make subtitles!!!

Hey Marina…
I think the word is [chaperon (chaperone with the added 'e')]. Seems like a lot of people have already got this one though.
On the off chance that I should win, however, could you somehow warn me before you call as I don’t want my girlfriend to find out :wink: …oops :lol:

Here you can see what does my dictionnary shows:
chaperon(e)
1. сущ.
1) пожилая дама, сопровождающая молодую девушку (на светских мероприятиях) ; компаньонка, дуэнья
2) учитель, наставник, сопровождающий группу молодёжи
2. гл.
1) сопровождать (молодую девушку) ; быть компаньонкой, дуэньей
2) сопровождать молодых людей

Collins en-en
chaperon or chaperone
1) (esp formerly) an older or married woman who accompanies or supervises a young unmarried woman on social occasions
2) someone who accompanies and supervises a group, esp of young people, usually when in public places
vb
3) to act as a chaperon to

The answer is “Chaperon(e)”

Hi Che Volay, I think that box is no longer here on the “sub-pages”, but you can still see it on the “Home” page. It show the recent three lessons. Click on the “Home” link in the upper left of the page. Also, you can see the video lessons in reverse chronological order by clicking the “Video” link in the upper left hand corner of the page.

Спасибо дла урок по-русский! :smile:

This will chap your tulips!

It’s not the video in which I need quick reference to, It’s the need to visit the different comment pages.
If someone hasn’t made a recent comment on a video you can’t get there that way.

So I have to exit the comment page to go to the home page to come back to a different comment page.

So if I’m not on the home page I can’t see any new post until someone make a recent comment. Unless I monitor Twitter.
Not the end of the world here, I just get use to doing things a certain way. It natural to resist change.

Maybe if there was a good reason for this change…… :neutral:

Dad used to tell puns, like the one about Chief Pythagoras and his three wives, all pregnant and due around the same time. The first lay down on a deer hide and bore a son. The second lay down on an elk hide, and likewise bore a son. The third lay down on a hippopotamus hide and bore twin sons.

Chief Pythagoras observed sagely: “The squaw of the hippopotamus is equal to the sons of the squaws of the other two hides.” :lol:

I meant, “Marina, don’t call me.” :oops:

Now is with prizes… but I arrived late :cry:

Dear Marina,
Looks like I must agree with everyon else and guess CHAPERON, which becomes PERON if you remove three letters. As for the three prizes?
1. I already receive many advertising calendars. I know your calendar is very beautiful, but it’s more than I need.
2. Because you sent them, I already have many photos of you, from the holidays, and from Twitter. (Even though you scared me one morning with that photo while you wore a green facial treatment!)
3. A phone call? I already know the sound of your voice from watching your videos. I pay the phone company extra each month to have an unlisted phone number. So I’d have to give you my secret phone number for you to phone me.
I’ve apparently become a spoiled customer of yours. I frequently view your videos and rate then Five Stars, While I should be happy just to see you and hear you, I still have the urge to feel, touch, and move with you! (Note: This is a suggestion for a different kind of prize!) :razz:

Dear Marina,
Here are some word requests. Since you started this new category, they are “Nerd Word Requests.”

[404 Not Found] We’ve all seen it. Does it mean, “For the 404th time, that webpage can’t be found.” (It actually is a status code invented by Tim Berners-Lee, who creaded the world-wide web in 1992.)

[PDA], for an ancient device called a “personal digital assistant.” Today’s iPhones do much more than a PDA. It also stands for “Public Display of Affection.” Wouldn’t it be nice to show PDA with Marina on Rodeo Drive?

[Click-Through] You use them. It’s a link on a webpage or YouTube video that takes you to another website. Since you’re a “hot customer” are these pages able to capture my name, e-mail address and other info.? There are many “click-throughs” on your pages.

Hey you brought the ‘Latest Post’ box back.

{ Che pauses & sighs, “Order has been restored” } :smile:

Hello curious about a phrase not sure if i am saying it of not
[pass mustard] or [pass the mustard] from my understanding it means Inadequate or something to that effect. Thanks in advance
D

It’s “pass muster”.

um i hope i´m right here to aks for the path of an word- so here´s the one i´m interested in cause it´s meaning and its power is very intersting in german (my own language) – smile – (lächeln) it shows near but also you show your teeth and make a warning -keep on distance-

oh sorry i forgot [smile]

Oh, come on. While it isn’t a given that all older people are wise, and younger people cannot possess some amount of wisdom, are you saying, all other things being equal, that a twenty three year old, having lived his or her life experiences, has amassed the wisdom of a fifty year old person?

Envision a stagecoach.

Hi Marina Could you please do the origin of [GOLD DIGGER] :?: :lol: :lol:

Hey Marina

Whats the origin of the word [Hob nob] as in hob nobbing with the stars (celebrities)?

Your original fan

Blondie – Maria, sounds like she singing MARINA :lol: Blondie – Hangin’ On The Telephone…just funning some Americana at you :razz:

In the incentive older individuals still learn from there mistakes and are still capable of learning. A younger individual may profit more knowledge from an older person and apply it as wisdom… There maybe a chosen few in which wisdom was directly granted; some may argue Joan of Ark as one? Marina could you help us with both definitions please? Thank appreciate you mucho! :idea: :eek: :razz:

Marina,

It seems WordPress (WP) supports a RSS feed for All Comments! Yeah! Elaboration:

There is a known bug that has been fixed here; but if that bug report is all gobbledygook, here’s a live web-site that implements RSS feed for All Comments; on the illustrative web-site, note the RSS button labeled COMMENTS in the top-right of the web-page — I think this one button allows one to capture, via RSS, comments anywhere on the entire site (and not just comments on the page on which the button appears).

So, Marina would you please consider supporting a RSS feed of All Comments? If that thing works the way one expects it to work, and if it does not have strange side-effects, then having such a feed will save me a ton of time!

Thanks,

.

I have no idea where from or how but the author of Widget Cache found the feed for all comments.

THANKS!!!

Double Yeah! YEAH!!! The feed can be sorted by author!!!

Maybe this calls for a wawawewa! but I have no idea what that means, have never heard anyone utter it and so do not even know how to pronounce it … but Marina used it this morning.

Lady Marina, we miss youuuuuu. Stop by sometime and visit with the folks, sometime. :cry:

[thalweg] I just saw it for the first time…. I love it when I find a new word don’t you

I would like to know the origin of the word [Manic].

AND- How did the word “manic” become apart of a nickname for Bipolar? (the nickname for bipolar is “manic-depression”)

Thanks!

Hi Marina. Could you please tell me how the word [toast] came to mean saluting someone with a drink? Thanks very much.

Chaperon :wink:

My gf and I wanted to know the origin on the word [bondage] and if there’s any relation to the word [bond](like family “bonding” and such)

Hi Marina! I’ve always wanted to know where the word [gaudy] came from. Can you help?

Have you ever seen the closing ceremony of the XII sumeer olympic games in Moscow? so check this out! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEweP-FKxtg

USA…did not want to play…it is never to late, thanks russianboy…Yogi Bear – Show Biz Bear…Acting like the media runs the acting. :razz:

CHAPERON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the word is Glamour

Teacher, I was reading this story — and while it is an intriguing one for anyone, I would think you would particularly enjoy it — and the word [ruse] is found in its title.

The nature of the article also leads me to raise my hand for other relevant words: [spy]; [spook]; [cloak-and-dagger] … or whatever suitable [espionage]-related word you may fancy.

Spasíbo

I am going to guess the chaperon. hugs and kisses to the teacher

Hi Beautiful,
Why do we call it a [driveway]when you park in it and a [parkway] when you drive on it.
Thanks LarryC

No need to guess, bro. The answer is chaperon(e). If you don’t believe me, just look for it under ‘C’ in the index found at All Words.

 
Ah ha, Marina found her box of crayons.
Love the colorful Nerd Word link up above. :cool:

My dearest teacher :wink: Marina :lol:
chaperon is the word :!:
:mrgreen: B.B. :cool:

Hob nob is a good one.. I’d like to know the origin as well.. must investigate! :-)

Chaperoni is the Italian mother who follow two steps behind her daughter while she is on a date. :grin:

Mental excuses is not for grown-up dopes…..winter blues of the bi-polars and the love of love is not hollow…I 2nd [Manic]—hot—for—words—breaks for love of WORDS :wink:

Ooo reminds me of one of my favorite words, which hopefully you’ll get around to as well: [canoodle] …as when Pat O’Brien or whomever states whichever hot celebrity was caught canoodling at Geisha House with some mystery blonde. Oh and hey, [geisha] for that matter too. Which makes me think of [concubine] as well.

danke

[with all due respect]

I hear this all time. Is it a sign of respect or an insult or could it be both?

Chaperone or chaperoni. :?: What-the-fucc-ever, an outdated and humiliating social practice that only found its way into premodern times (ssooo 20th century :roll: ) via bourgeois need to “protect” their offspring from doing what Mother Nature intended them to do in the first place! These days, here in what is known as REALITY, teenage guys n gals have cell phones w/ texting (or “sexting”) abilities and/or speed-dial in case things get out of hand. So, if John finally wins Heather’s little head-game of hard to get and convinces her to go out w/ him Saturday night to the Coldplay concert ['cos nothing's safer than being in a public place crowded w/ thousands of loaded, horny & sometimes violent teens/ college kids/ adults (potential pedophiles :wink: ); 90% of which are just trying to get laid at all costs], and after a magical evening of: ear-busting music, both kids getting groped/ propositioned by 100s of strangers, getting soaking wet from everyone’s spilled beverages, getting into/avoiding/watching a dozen fights between intoxicated wanna-be’s (who fight like victims of bitchassness), eventually agreeing to “go somewhere more private”, and paying $50 for a $15 t-shirt on the way out. The lovely couple eventually make it back to their vehicle for some quality time by themselves. Now, after 20-45 mins. of kissing, stroking, licking, panting, and desperate bargaining [depending on who paid for everything] Heather stops playing the role of the chaste goody-2-shoes snake-teaser and lets John claim his carnal prize!
The moment of Truth & Judgement is upon us! If Johny-boy knows what he’s doing from countless hours of self-servicing porn study (actually paying attention to the whole turn of events instead of just skipping to the “good parts”) and impresses Heather w/ his skills-that-pay-the-bills, then a great time is had by all, leading to a RELATIONSHIP or at least friends w/ benifits. But, if John fumbles n bumbles around like an ignorant little virgin, keeps repeating how sorry he is for every mistake, skips the foreplay and/or discharges his firearm before getting the chance to draw down on Heather’s kitty — within 2-3 days EVERYBODY at school/work/whatever is laughing at poor John and his complete lack of carnal knowledge/ self control!! :oops: Dumbass probably didn’t even suspect her of texting/calling all her fake friends while he was patting himself on the back and disposing of the soiled condom(s) no matter how things went…
If you’re still reading this, the Moral of the Story is : Today’s chaperones are tiny, digital devices known as “cellies”. Oh, and there is no such thing as true privacy anymore. Got to bounce now! (late for my appointment w/ my therapist :mrgreen: )

Me think you can skip your appointment today lol

That’s what I keep trying to tell folks(going online is my NEW THERAPY!), but for some strange reason :?: they think you have to pay an overworked professional $60/hour just to listen :evil: This way I don’t even have to leave the house (unless I want to) :!: :cool:

What was that that “Bitch thing about?” Go figure. Jimj1245

I actually looked up Chaperon in the OED after I wrote my answer and before the Official answer came out, but didn’t get a chance to enter an extract from the OED: (1) A hood or cap formerly worn by nobles, and after the 16th C. by ladies; (2) part of the full dress (habit) of the Knights of the Garter.
