    howdy folks! :grin: Canned rats! Russainboy. A phone call won’t be cheap, but it would be really cool. You two could have your entire conversation in Russian.

    Does a probation officer count as a chaperon? :???: :mrgreen:

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

    Sure, it will be a tax write-off. The longer that she talks to you, the more money she will save. :cool:

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

    Only if he goes with you on your booties calls. :mad:

    Uh, HW, yeah: Yes, I have been to events that had chaperones, but I also had an awful lot of time without them. So much trouble, so many memories…

  • blotter

    I would like to request the word [Dangle] as in a deke move made in hockey.

    You noticed Marina’s stern look. That was meant for me, cause she looked right at me. :lol: Hey, I’ve been good, when sleeping.

  • jaybob

    Marina, don’t get “freaked out” but would you please chapeone me and my date tonight! Also, can you explain the etymology of the phrase [freaked out] ?? Finally, would you add some lips to the above symbols so I can blow you a kiss back?!

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

    My computer crashed the time I won so I never got instructions to claim my prize.

    If I buy a book will you sign it for me?

  • hotfor_hotforwords

    Congrats russianboy….too bad it’s a [ruse] by the new KGB to monitor your activities.

    huh, wha?, why did this song just pop into my head again–it’s been haunting me lately

    Seriously though, if anyone doesn’t opt for the phonecall, well that’s a mancard violation and you deserve to be [poleaxed]

    I have not knowingly been assigned a chaperon.

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

    I wouldn’t say I’ve been assigned a chaperon, but I’ve dealt with the kind of Evangelical mental bullshit preached by “born-agains”. That whole public vow of chasity and their attitudes against relationships was too much of a weight for me to carry all these years. It did enough psychological damage that I became a turn-off for woman because I wasn’t considered “perky” or “confident”.
    So many years of loneliness, slowly shaking off what I have been told back in high school… I feel like they screwed up so many chances of what could have been. But then again, just about everyone is screwed up about the idea of sex.

    The prob was with the “I have no clothes.” It finally let me make a post. Mebbe it was a lag or something. I had a longer post the first time, but I was too tired to post all that again. I get texthausted pretty easily.

    how ever you wish to write it,you know what i mean.
    i already asked for this word…i know hard job to satisfy everyone…
    maybe one of the hardest word to explain since till today nobody really explained this word,since the linguist don´t know, maybe its stupid of me to ask for an explanation…
    anyway i will keep on asking for it if it should piss you off tell me i stop asking.

    I think you should do the history or origin of [asshat] which is a common nerd insult word. There are lots of funny articles online about supposed origins, but it would be interesting to really find out its true origin.

    Hello Marina,
    I like the weekly update that you’ve started it’s an added bonus.
    As always congratulations to the winners of the GTW game.
    I’ve been a chaperone before on several occasions. I felt awkward each time. As for me? Che Volay asked the the perfect question, “Does a probation officer count as a chaperon? :???: :mrgreen: “

  • originalistrick

    I’m sorry, I have a bandage over a scratched eyeball. I meant 0.32. Anyway…?

  • doolittler

    Where did the word [Camel Toe] come from????

    Marina, I’m sure that if you were a teenage lass, and I showed up at your квартира, your papa would instantly know that we would require a chaperone. :twisted:

  • vaguesimplicity

    I would like to request the word [vagabond].

  • big ed

    HELL NO! I’ve got enough issues as it is, Lady Marina :eek: Just goes to show you how backwards and sexist the Moral Majority was/still is, as anyone w/ half a brain knows, girls are just as naughty as boys. The difference is you females are usually smart enough to play it off like y’all could really care less what, if anything, happens. :wink:

    Phrase Request: [moral majority] seem to have forgotten where it came from…

    would a chaperon in Catholicism be a scapular; since i know they where used as clothing in medieval times?

    lol! I was assigned a Chaperon in the 6th grade; my ex girlfriends parents are devoted Catholics and didn’t permit her to date without a chaperon until she was 18!! lol! yup, it was interesting while I was trying to get some us time and convincing my mom to take a hike! :roll:

  • r0bw00d

    I was wondering, Marina, where the word cooties came from.

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

    @CK – about 1/2 n 1/2. I was not kidding about the write-off part. I would think she could deduct that as a business expense. The rest of it was, well, kinda :roll: . I borrowed that line of thought from Mrs. Somebody in her more frivolous days. She would come back from shopping, “They had a sale! Look how much money i saved us!” :roll: :!:

    Dear Marina, I would like to know the origins and use of the word [huckleberry]. As used in the phrase,”Who’s your [huckleberry],” or “I’ll be your [huckelberry].”

  • http://acousticintegrity.com hugo zuccarelli

    Dear Marina, Thanks for your reply,I imagine most people would like to see me dead, jajajaj.
    For all this years I been working on other inventions.
    You can see some incredible stuff at youtube.
    Hzuccarelli, is my name there.
    The other inventions are as thought to sale as Holophonics Tm.
    They are :
    Holophonics Speakers TM (love to build you a pair someday).
    Holophonics Headphones TM ( watch out for the normal ones they can destroy your hearing!!!
    Holorama Tm. is the equivalent to Holophonics TM but for the eyes.
    ( did you ever notice that 3D pictures look cartoonish?).
    I resolved the problem, by studying the human eye.
    Holorama Tm its the same look as holograms ,but done with cameras.
    I will love to start filming documentaries, around the world with YOU as a host.
    The first in Russia , about people and costumes, then , China, Hawaii, New Zealand, etc( also recorded in Holophonics Tm).
    I would like to work with you on your calendar in 3D Holorama Tm.
    You has been an inspiration, I would like to reach as many people as you do.
    They genuinely love you ,follow you and ,I imagine, dedicate a big moment of they’re life to better thyself just on the thought, that you may approve on they’re improvements.
    My big crash with my teacher of physics on the university, made me apply myself to be the best in the class.
    I still seat at the first line, on my desk following my favorite teacher, as she bring me a puff of fresh air every time I log in.
    I love when she tell me BE GOOD!
    And I really , really try to better myself just in the case.
    You Really make my day Marina!.
    Thanks.
    Say hello to GORBY.

    Did you say older women wore the white chaperone? Kakaka . . . why you’re not old, but protecting the chastity of young women is a noble cause. After seeing your very attractive picture with a more natural hair color, I wondered how your blond chaperone is working out? :lol:

    Inconvenience, inconschemnience. It’s got nothing to do with annoyance; I find it impossilbe to guess things like Scottish dresses, etc. Without guessing the word, you can’t research to see if the guess is correct. Canned rats!

    Does anyone know what the clues, i – s – m, stood for? I thought it was a clue that the ism should be suffix instead of a prefix. What a goose chase, chasing isms!

  • aleatorystories

    I would like to request the word [aleatory]

    Thanks in advance!

  • http://bandzone.cz/shadow renepayback

    man in here we sometimes use sentences that are not true-i dont know the english word for -zveličovat-it means to make something bigger then it is- for example in this case it upgradet the nonsense for me to stend in line and wait until my word is picked up,since i guess there wont be many who ask for the same word i do.
    no matter that the reality is 1 request every hour wich can make it profimatly 24 words per day and that can be some cca170 words per week so Lady Marina has a hard job to choose one word wich is most interesting-instead of this you just write every 5 seconds….

    i start to understand why are Slavonic languages the hardest to lern for outsiders/non-Slavs :lol:

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/capman911 Capman911

    Those were letters that did not go into the puzzle. If you noticed when she put them up she would put an x over the top of them . That was a clue not to use that letter. The “a” in the box was a clue to use it.

    Lady Marina
    and Russian comarades round here,how do you understand this?
    (Matir S´va)
    Sonce vashe dnys v´khodyt
    I pershyraz hrije vashu tvarj
    Dnys jem vd´khla zhiznj
    Shto rozcvitne k Iriji
    Ty Slavjan, ohni tvoji budut hority
    Doklja nevyhasnut zvizdy
    Ostanesh ty na viky v pamjati
    Doklja budesh vsperaty ruky k nebesam
    I spiv tvij perebihne vremja
    Zvuchaty bude k vichnosti
    I rika priplave
    I vitor priduje
    I zemlja v´stelit kroky tvoji
    I nezhasne nikoli ohinj tvij

    (Slavjan)
    Idu Svarozheju stezhkoju
    K pohljadu istochniku chistoj voli
    Pidnymajesh k meni ruku
    I krov rozohrilas´ v mojich zhiloch
    Obnimash mene svoje djitja

    I ja vo istinu ozhivljaju
    D´kh horiachi otkril mi ochi
    I ja stal vrashchatj mir

    I vot, uzh teche k meni rika
    I vitor duje z nebes
    Nese kroky zemlja chorna
    I ja zahoril vichnym ohnjom
    Od teper ja na vse Slavjan
    Pisnja bohiv vynese mene k Iriju
    Sojedinnjus´ s sotvoreniem
    I sam stanu pisnjou
    Kotra zvuchit na slavu
    O matir S´va

    (Matir S´va)
    Slav zhiznj, u tvojich nog vse vremja
    Idji i hovori o velichanom rodu
    O vozrozhdeni slavy

    Spivaj djitja
    Spivaj pisnju
    Spivaj zhiznj
    Vo vichnu slavu

    Pobjesh sudjbu, svitlo znovu znajdesh
    Odnajdesh mij davnyj spiv i vernesh mi zhiznj
    Potim uvydysh sklanjaty sja Svargu
    I dotknesh sja sonca

    (Slavjan)
    Slavju zhiznj, u mojich nog vse vremja

    Hi Marina,

    My requested word is [qualia] because I seek the yang to my yin.

    I am a yin sign and are looking for my true love or yang.

    I am well educated, J.D., and I also think that intelligence is sexy.

    Are you my [qualia]?

    Obviously named after the Russian czar Aleksandr Nevsky. Originally, the term was one of praise — “smart” meaning intelligent or clever. Nevsky was famous for luring the invading Teutonic Knights onto a frozen lake to do battle — whereupon the ice broke beneath their weight and they were all drowned. Thereafter he was known as “Умный Александр,” smart/clever Aleksandr.

    Unfortunately, the meaning of the phrase “smart Alek” degenerated to describe someone who only thinks he is clever, for example, um, yours truly. :sad:

    It’s true, I tell you! :mrgreen:

    Some further info: Whenever you use the Internet to reach another site, you must specify the service by which you wish to reach it. Each service has its own methods (or protocols), so it must be spelled out to the next node higher up the chain, which for you is your ISP. If you don’t, it doesn’t know how to interpret your request.

    Some services are World Wide Web, Newgroups, E-mail, file transfer protocols and as many more as anyone is willing to invent and get others to use—it always “takes two to tango.” Each service has its own client and server software that generates and understands the protocol used by the service. The code for WWW is “http”. As it happens, that is the most popular service, and, in fact, has grown so popular that all the other services have been eclipsed to the point that they may be replaced by Web applications or at least made accessible via Web. They still all exist, but most people don’t use them directly any more.

    For example, someone may use the E-mail service to send a msg and it will be transmitted over the ‘Net by means of the E-mail service, but the receiver my choose to use a Webmail provider (Hotmail, G-mail and many others), which will receive the msg, hold it and make it accessible via the Web. Now take two users, both using different Webmail providers. Party A goes on the Web, uses Hotmail to send a msg to Party B. Hotmail puts it on the E-mail service to send it to G-Mail. Party B uses the Web to look at it on G-Mail. So two users have not touched the E-mail service, because their Webmail providers “translated” it for them. Both users don’t need to have true E-mail client software; they just look at it on the Web.

    Similarly, the Newsgroups service (which is how everyone broadcast text to the world before the Web existed), has had its text made available via the Web. There are Websites that allow you to look at it all, so you don’t need Newsgroup client software. One reason to do this is that every service you use must have the client software installed on every single PC you use, which is not always the case. However, everyone has a Web client (browser) installed, even the lowly library PC.

    The ‘Net is the river bed, the Internet Protocol is the water flowing in the bed, services are the boats in the water, the content (Web pages, E-mails, etc.) are the cargo in the boats. The http (or other protocol identifier) tells the longshoreman which boat to put the cargo on. The URL tells the boat the name of the dock to go and is translated by DNS into a dock number. Your ISP bill rents a dock and pays for an unlimited amount of any kind of cargo to be sent anywhere the river goes to anyone also renting a dock. The more money you pay, the faster the boat goes.

    It is time for my favorite quote of all time. You get extra points if you can guess who it is (plus, knowing the author totally gives it a new meaning.)

    It’s a wonder I haven’t abandoned all my ideals; they seem so absurd and impractical. Yet I cling to them because I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart. It’s utterly impossible for me to build my life on a foundation of chaos, suffering and death. I see the world slowly transformed into a wilderness. I hear the approaching thunder that, one day, will destroy us too. I feel the suffering of millions. And yet, when I look up at the sky, I somehow feel that everything will change for the better, that this cruelty too shall end, that peace and tranquility will return once more.

    A separate PC for each site is not necessary. Haven’t you seen the IBM commercial where a whole room full of computers is replaced by a blade server? Maybe that’s a little over the top, but things are fairly compact nowadays.

    The trouble with older servers is that the power savings gained by moving on to the next generation pays for the next generation; you can’t afford to keep them.

    Oh, Hi Marina… I was just thinking of something quite interesting that you might like to investigate and enjoy telling us about. I was thinking about onomatopoeic words and how animal noises are onomatopoeic (you know “quack”, “woof”, etc.). This made me realise that onomatopoeic words are language specific, for instance, in English a rooster says “cock-a-doodle-doo” but in Italian it says “ki-kirri-ki”, and I think in Japan, dogs say “wang”! Do you think you could do something on [onomatopoeic animal noises in different languages]?

    well where the Slaven,Slawian,Slovan,Sloven really comes from nobody knows,there are many theories but non oficial /since diferent tribes use to have diferent names such as Venedi/
    as for germans the info is almost corect-the story goes:
    when we met /or our borders met/german tribes all of us where speaking one language /if you look on the map you will see that it wasnt so easy to met tribes with diferent languages since our territory is the biggest/ but we didnt understand german blabering….
    so we first called them -NEMAJCI- of wich it became -NEMCI /c=ts/
    NEMA JAZYKA=NEMAJCI=NEMCI -THOSE WHO DONT HAVE TONGUE /LANGUAGE/

    Marina,

    My understanding of misscupcake’s own statement: I think she was unable to handle the internet harassment because of a much more fundamental issue: her use of the internet to avoid face-to-face interactions — using the internet to escape reality. Personally, I am glad that she is taking a hiatus from the internet — I am glad she is confronting her fears head-on. Irrespective of whether the hiatus is temporary or permanent, she will no longer be engaged in an illusion of living but will get her life back and be really living on this earth!

    The real is always better than the imagined. Good Choice, Miss Cupcake! Engage reality — FTW!

    yeah, hs4mm, you tell that a homeless person. i’m sure they’ll wholeheartedly agree.

    can’t you people think before posting shallow-brained bullshit?

    by the way, i don’t think it’s cool to talk in great length about a person in their absence. talk _to_ her, not about her.

    any questions, hesitate to reply.

    No that would be 2 people decide her fate, herself and the so called stalker,one person would be only herself.

    Hello my dear Marina,
    First off, I received your calendar as a wonderful birthday present and now will have to have a new one every year! Shameless commerce indeed…
    Word/phrase request please…. I was reviewing the “Life of Riley” lesson and was reminded of the phrase [Kilroy was here] I think the U.S. troops wrote this expression in their travels in WWII… Who was Kilroy and how did this expression get started?

    Kind regards,

    Sparks

    :mrgreen: Marina!!! Thank you so much for enlightening me in so many ways! I would really like to know the story behind the term [scapegoat] since everyone seems to need one now.

    Cosmetic companies have large advertising budgets.
    The trend is companies are moving away from print ads and buying up internet advertising.

    So there is your next video, record yourself putting makeup on. Then go sown to a mall & video interaction at the cosmetic sales counter.

    This could also count as the embarrassing video you wanted to make.

    You’ll look all so perdy dress up as a drag queen, a real beotch. lol :razz:

  • hs4mm

    Marina, how about us be bobbasheely?

  • hs4mm

    .

    Marina,

    What’s the origin of the [adjective form of bosom, as in "bosom pals" -- meaning close or intimate]? Also [soul mates].

    What I find really strange is that the woman being interviewed at http://wordsmith.org/chat/dare.html mentions a “Choctaw phrase, itibapishily, which means ‘my brother, with whom I was suckled.’” as being the root of the word “bobbasheely … a noun, meaning a good friend, or … a verb, meaning to associate with someone in a friendly fashion.” — but she is totally silent about any connection between bobbasheely and the regular English expression bosom pals!

    I find it more likely that bobbasheely may have come about when somebody tried to teach a Choctaw Indian the regular English expression bosom pals!

    Don’t cover that beautiful face with your hair! ;)

    Where did [catfight] originate when referring to 2 women fighting?

    When I did some work in Mainland China in the early 1980′s, I had a chaperon when I was invited to the Friday social gatherings in Harbin. These were like dances but the protocol for dancing with a young lady was quite involved so I did not take the chance of treading on any local taboos. Still, It was quite interesting to watch how a meeting was set-up between single people.

    I never have been a chaperone. In grade school, there were dances that were chaperoned. I do not remember there being chaperones with hoods. I have noticed that there have been people with hoods on their sweaters and they have been wearing them even when unseasonably warm. Strange behavior. Wait a minute, when I was a vicar in Illinois and then Minnesota I helped coordinate youth events. I suppose you could call me a chaperone for these events.
