Alley-Oop

Alley ooop was a cave man

Oh it’s the little dot above an i or j tittle is. :cool: :shock:

Tittle
1382, “small stroke or point in writing,” representing L. apex in L.L. sense of “accent mark over a vowel,” borrowed (perhaps by infl. of Prov. titule “the dot over -i-”) from L. titulus “inscription, heading.”

It’s so cute when you say “tittle” :wink:

Very good lesson! I always thought it was a basketball term and that it was invented in the streets!

So apparently the word “tittle” refers either to an accent symbol, such as the slash above the e in fiancée, or just the dot above a lowercase i or j. What about cedilles or umlauts? Are those tittles too?

OK I found the Alley Ooop song – The Hollywood Argyles I left it in mono, the way it was intended. :cool:

A tittle is not a little tit… nor is it a sub-subtitle. I go look for answer and will get back to you “on the rebound”. :grin:

Great lesson Marina.

Tittle…. titty… phh

lol

:smile: :smile:

Good day for me, I was first, did my homework & found a link to the Alley oop song.

{Now what am I going to do for the rest of the day} :???:

[bleachers]

Great, Marina! You really incorporated “the good stuff” we all love about your lessons into the compressed time frame the YT fools are forcing upon you. Makes me wish even more those idiots would just stand back and cut you loose again.
Thank you. Hope you’re feeling better, and kick some serious booty on The Factor taping!

Always.

Whoops! Homework: Small boobies?

Your braids are looking hot today!! I guess you are having a assume hair day lookin good love the braids be good I love you!! :wink: :wink: :mrgreen:

Tittle – dot used on lowercase i and j (other types of diacritic marks).

i agree

Marina,

There are no HFW play-lists on YouTube. Were they removed by mistake when you redid the YT page, or on purpose? (Just pointing it out; doesn’t matter either way for me.)

–Hs4Mm

Marina,
….Charming presentation

…. A tittle is accent, vowel mark or dots placed over various letters also known as a small diacritic mark.

….I think no one was expecting this video, you off in NY. I hope you enjoyed the pizza, it’s been a while since I’ve had pizza.

a tittle is that little mark above a letter such as i or j when lowercase. I see it is also mentioned in some scripts as meaning a small detail.

One year ago, then Senator Obama was dealing with a few alley oops of his own as I remember while bowling in PA.

Different kind, I guess.

Enjoy your time on The Factor.

We’ll get you on American Idol yet. Watch out, Simon! :lol:

O’ My Dear Teacher,

Supposedly, the translation of “Jump up!” is “Saut vers le haut!” and the translation of “Jump high!” is “Sautez haut!”

So why did the French use “allez hop” for the command/signal “go up”? And since it seems “hop” is a bastardized form of the English “up”, where did the French get “allez hop” from? Or is it common for French words to be bastardized forms of words from English and other languages — is that how the French language originates its words?

Just tittles for Marina to follow to this side of NY.

lwhere did the term panties come and why us men wear briefs and women wear panties?

Found often in use with the term jot, a jot is the smallest character that can be written, such as a dot over an I. A tittle is similar: it is like the little line that crosses a T, or other diacritical marks, like a tilde.

:???:

An iota that dots an “i” is an example of a tittle.

I Would Like To Request The Word [procrastination]

ok

Marina,

The audience that is attracted to the majority of the HFW lessons (including this one) are different from the audience that is attracted to the likes of Fred. I doubt if the YT channels that have the most subscriptions attract people from any source other than those who already visit YT. In contrast, people come to HFW from your media exposure, other products, word of mouth, and, soon, your book. While most YT channels vie for the attention of the fixed numbers of people who roam YT, HFW is capable of garnering people who are new to YT and internet video in general. The kind of people who are attracted to HFW are markedly different from those who roam YT; and the audience being gained by HFW are more permanent.

The world has more rational people than those irrationals who roam YT as evidenced by this fact: The current Number 1 Best Selling in US Literature & Fiction at Amazon is NOT some mindless, pulp book written for the YT hordes — it is (Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged) a serious work of fiction of the likes of Dostoevsky and Victor Hugo — and it was written over fifty years ago!

Aside: Will your 2010 calendar be listed with retailers who sell calendars in general? If the 2009 calendar had only limited exposure, can’t the 2010 calendar be essentially a re-issue of the 2009 one?

That was RUBBISH!
Marina sang it MUCH better.

I thought of another homework…
Do you dot your i`s and cross your t`s? Or don’t you?
I do, even if it sometimes slows me down.

Thanks for another enlightening lessons. :grin:

“tittle” is the “aglet” of words.
I just used heard the other word used on a show I was watching, and felt the need to use it.

Well, all the answers so far have found out what a “tittle” is,
but wot
is a [jot]
as in
“every little
jot and tittle”?

No way to rate the video on YouTube any more. :???:

short, shorts…oops…MM

Bob: a jot is the smallest letter in the Greek alphabet….ioTa

…to write down quickly…

…by the way …fly like paper and high like planes :lol:

You can’t rate? Are you sure? I am out and about so I can’t see.

I agree with your evaluation of the HFW audience.

The YT/Google “execs” are no doubt aware of this. They probably prefer an audience that is “loyal” to YT rather than one “loyal” to an artist.

HFW viewers are less likely to browse around YT. They enjoy the HFW website, forums, etc.

As grocery stores make you walk past what you don’t want to get to things you do want, YT is trying to divert viewers who only want HFW.

Thanks for rating!…it is working, Marina :smile:

My word requested is [shazam]. I saw you for the first time on the O’ Reilly Show.

[PISSING MATCH]

As in, “I don’t wish to get into a [PISSING MATCH] with anyone here about our current administration.”

(Don’t mean to be vulgar. Just curious.)

Also read Amity Shlaes, The Forgotten Man, to set the Great Depression stage for a re-read of Atlas Shrugged.

Don’t forget Fountainhead.

Thanks for stopping by … trust you are enjoying The Great City!

Unfortunately, the answer is vulgar. There is a website that deals with words and phrases like this, but I don’t recall the name. Might be Urban Dictionary and/or Slangsite.com.

Personally, I don’t think it belongs on HFW.

I tried and could not rate.

Will try again.

On the subject of rating, on several occasions I’ve voted for Marina in the Sexy Geek contest, continued all the way through all the pages, and then returned to Marina on page 1 and discovered my vote didn’t register; the box isn’t green anymore. Every time the vote AGAINST whats-his-name Phil is there, oddly enough. This has happened so many times that I am sure it isn’t my imagination. Not to be a conspiracy theorist or anything, but this has occurred, oh, I imagine 10 or twelve times. Maybe ya’ll could keep an eye out for this and comment if you see it happen.
Thanks.

[jowl]……..

+++++[JO.VI.AL]+++++[joust]

:idea: joss stick :lol: jupiter;spruce

Granted. Of course it can be considered vulgar. If Marina even notices the word request, she will decide whether it merits her attention, let alone if it is appropriate to appear here. Personally, having seen a few hundred of Marina’s lessons, I believe she could make a lesson on this expression funny as hell yet in good taste, should she choose to do so.

I don’t think that the French “hop” is a bastardized form of the English word “up”. “hoppen” is an old German word that is nowadays very rarely used in High German, which means to jump. However, “hoppen” is still used in Swiss German and other Alemannic dialects. My guess is that the French “hop” comes from the Alemannic “hoppen”.

The French word “allez” (meaning “Go!”) can be used at the beginning of any command, so “allez hop” simply means “Go, Jump!”

What a “tittle-ating” thought!

Thanks! (Also, saw your YT comment about “allez hop” being a command used in the circus to get lions and tigers to jump through a hoop.)

I am unable to vote either up or down using firefox; seem to be able to (but not really sure) with IE. Also, have never been able to vote from the page that has the voting results; have to vote from the actual contest page using IE (not firefox) http://blog.wired.com/underwire/2008/12/every-geeks-a-l.html

The first few times I read The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged, one reason I kept reading on was … to read the love scenes.

“Alley-oop” was uttered frequently in the “Rocky & Bullwinkle” cartoons. It was in the football context. Bullwinkle J. Moose threw Rocket J. Squirrel (I just wanted to get their full names in) like a football. Rocky would yell “alley…” (sometimes with an “ollie” pronunciation) as he stood in Bullwinkle’s hand, then Bullwinkle would yell “oop!” and throw our Rocky into the air where he would fly.

Hi, Marina and Gang…
A tittle is the dot over the lower case i or j in the Roman(Latin) Alphabet…

I did my homework, but I couldn’t submit it. :???:

“When I was a kid my favourite relative was Uncle Caveman. After school we’d all go play in his cave, and every once in a while he would eat one of us. It wasn’t untill later that I found out that Uncle Caveman was a bear.”

:cool:

I just been eliminated from the basketball pool, surpassed by three preteen girls who two weeks ago never heard about college basketball. These girls also swept the pro football playoff earlier this year as well as baseball.

{Che will be letting his nieces call his bookie from now on} :cool:

Why not?

Dear Marina,
Thank you, Marina, for posting a video during your trip to New York. I didn’t expect this, but you posted one, anyway! How nice to get this extra video!
To answer your homework question, a “tittle” is the name for the small dot we write over a lower-case i or j when writing letters to you. (Fewer people write letters now, in the age of text message telephones.) :cool:
For comparison, there’s a similar word, A “tattle” is a peson who talks and gives away secret infromstion. such as the wedding ceremony in a Russian Ortdox church. To “tattle” also means to chatter on endlessly. That is, to say alot but mean little. :shock:
I hope you had a great, safe trip to New York and back. And I also hope you did well on that TV show. :razz:
Yesterday, I installed my new HDTV. It has a wide format picture (16 wide by 9 high). This is a better view because you can see how a basketball team will move as a group while on offense, or how a figure skater uses the whole rink to perform her skating routine. It’s very nice. :razz:
Seesixcm6

Rand was ahead of her time in bedroom behavior.

We should ask Marina if RANDY is derived from Ayn Rand. Alan Greenspan was part of their group. He should know, but probably his lips are sealed.

Dearest Teacher; perhaps this video was made some time ago :roll:
in antisipation of this trip to N.Y. so that your students wouldnt miss :shock:

WE could spend some quality time together :oops: oh btw I have many such :evil

.
Q’s: is a diphthong a tittle? What about an umlaut?

Plug your upcoming bookon the O’reilly show, hope the timing is right :cool:

Yes, Marina is adept at handling “prickly” words.

For me, vulgar doesn’t mean “bad” — just common, coarse, etc. Sometimes inappropriate.

Why task Marina with cleaning out the stable — “in good taste?”

PS: I note your comments elsewhere and agree with almost all. I like Opera also.
Bach too.

Bach was a god.

Tittle- a small distinguishing mark including a dot on a lowercase.

Origin of randy (Actually, Greenspan gave up on Ayn Rand’s ideas ages ago.)

Homework :cool:

Tittle
1. A small diacritic mark, such as an accent, vowel mark, or dot over an i.
2. The tiniest bit; an iota.
Middle English titil, from Medieval Latin titulus, diacritical mark, from Latin, title, superscription

Dunno. Clicked on my submit button, and all I got was a spinny thingy in my status bar. After a while, i got a page load error. Tried to back-track, but my comment was off to visit my lost socks and coat hangers. :???:

It’s OK now, but before I didn’t see any stars – except you. :smile:

Every book has a tittle.

will Marina be posting the Oreilly factor here as she did prior :?:
if i remember correctly that show is on saturday :roll:

I took a washing machine apart once, found lost socks on the outside of the drum plus 5.52 in change. :grin:

Alright, dang it, something ain’t right.
I went back to the Sexy Geek page. (Let me say here that I use IE, and the only way I can get to that page is by clicking on somebody like PK who put that function into his username.) It was as if I had not already voted. None of the boxes, up or down, were colored red or green. So, I voted all the way through again. Now, when I cast this second vote for Marina, her vote count became 34,642+, 11,581-. When I went back from the last page to look at it again, the numbers were 34641+(not 34642+), but the 11,581- was the same. Phil’s numbers remained constant throughout this at 32,009+, and 7853-.
So, the first vote didn’t register, you aren’t supposed to be able to vote twice in a day, which I did, and Marina’s count went back down one number, effectively cancelling out my second vote.
I wonder what the heck’s going on.

What’s sexy about low temperature, high humidity, low cloud and thunderstorms? :???:

Marina,

What do you mean when you say, “NY has the sexiest weather”?

Ask them to buy me a lottery ticket while they’re there, please. :smile:

Uh… that was all mine. Can you please deposit the cash to my PayPay acct., and e-mail my sox back?

“Allez Hop” Early hip hop community will know this one. French hip hop music using horns, bells, and slide whistles, etc. When the slide bar on the slide whistle was moved back and forth a sound would emit.. Sounded like this :arrow: AlllllllllllleeeeeehhhhhhhzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZOOOOOOOOOPPPPPP!

Yeah, good point, Che! He always plugs his guests’ books.

:mrgreen: 100/52 :cool:

Got to back decades to learn the history of early French hip-hop and respect it’s influence on what is called hi hop nowadays. Takes this video, it’s authentic early hip-hop vocalization without an orchestra of horns, whistles, and other assorted noise makers:

Contrary to what some people make think the slide whistle is not the easiest musical instrument to learn. This vid clip however illustrates the slide effect sound of the slide whistle pretty well:

Marina, please forgive me for calling O’Reilly the Antichrist. I’m sorry but I don’t appreciate his dishonesty. I know this is why you stopped following me at twitter. Please don’t be bitter.

Tried again and they said I had already voted????

You mean, sultry?

Still is!

Marina tweeted “NY has the sexiest weather!” and different people started interpreting it differently. Astrologers use a technique called “general prediction” — where they say some mumbo-jumbo and people start reading into the mumbo-jumbo; here is an excellent illustration (starting from about 1:55). Another experiment to try is to read the horoscope predictions in the newspaper for any astrological-sign — every one of the predictions will appear to be applicable to you irrespective of what your sign is!

TAKE IT ALL OFF!!! show me your feet! :mrgreen: they fine!

Greenspan was/is an opportunistic obfuscator.

Like the Mark Twain character who took credit for a solar eclipse or the Dick Tracy character “Mumbles.”

Hard to know what idea-de-jour he is embracing.

Talented person, none-the-less.

Ok. Thanks for that enlightening revelation, hs4mm.

Then what IS the easiest musical instrument to learn?

Wow, that almost rhymed. :roll:

Marina, please do a video on the origin of the word [Mormon]. I has an interesting etymology, I’m sure you’ll agree.

Yeah, I noticed that. But I was also being serious. Oh, dear, I hope Gka. Orlova is not the type that holds grudges. :cry:

If ever Marina chooses not to feature a particular word. I’d be more than glad to dig up the etymology myself. :smile:
Seriously, let me know, folks.

Yes, hard to tell what aspect of the weather she was fascinated by: Was it changing often and surprising her? Was it drizzling mildly so that one could be outside without really getting wet and yet feel the rain-drops on oneself? I too am curious and hope she explains what she liked about the weather! (Incidentally, it is interesting joke material by combining what CheVolay and wetsuit5 tweeted.)

That has a single t.

Марина, вы любит съесть Энитайзерзы?

I think she meant that when she‘s walking around New York, it makes everything sexy! :twisted:
That’s a compliment, BTW, Marina! :grin:

Who else wants to know this etymology and wants Marina to do a video on it? I’d like to see what she chooses for the sound effects and superimposables! :cool:

Oooooh, very good.

What is Gka.? “Miss”? “My Dear Teacher”?

Well, whenever Marina shows up in any way — on this site to post or comment, as a tweet, on a show etc. — the whole universe becomes nice for others. (Except for the papparazi who, good for her, are always looking elsewhere.) But she was tweeting about she herself finding the weather sexy — I would like to know what exactly she liked.

It’s an abbreviation of grazhdanka (гражданка) which is a title of address to a female fellow citizen. It’s a bit old-timey.

Please provide some examples of O’Reilly’s dishonesty.

Hmm. Yes, it is a rather vague statement. But, my guess is that the weather seems so nice to her that it makes her feel carefree and in a romantic mood. I could be wrong, but that’s what I would mean if I said “{placename} has the sexiest weather!”.

Well, I don’t want to start anything nasty. But if you wouldn’t mind, you could find out for yourself under certain videos (at YouTube) by Keith Olbermann: e.g., http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2KU02lsfH8 I don’t agree 100% with all of Olbermann’s views on everything (e.g., who “did” 9/11) but it’s obvious he gives more than a damn. Which is more than I can say for just about everybody at Faux News. Sorry. I’d better stop before something REALLY ugly happens. :eek:

why are our privates named after animals? For instance a man’s unit after a bird(cock)and a womans pubs after a cat(pussy)………..I have a million questions for you my dear; let’s get in tune with each other.

my luv 4 u shall never die! :wink:

Does anybody here know the origin of the word [average] ? It’s quite surprising where the word actually comes from.

Pussy (for vagina/vulva) is not from pussycat. It’s from an Old Norse word meaning “bag”.

Aloha word goddess. :mrgreen:

Try this word on for size – [Kaneh Bosm] :roll:

To my minds-eye-view, this word exposes the “Lost Tribe”; explains movement from Lemuria (ancient, very ancient Hawaii), to Atlantis, to Chirusdia (China, Russia, India,) to Middle East, to Europe, to America and finally back to Hawaii as Boston Missionerys. :cool:

Kane in Hawaiian is God of Line and name for man and men’s bathroom. :oops:

Bosm is related to blossom, bosom (tit) and Beosm Broom (sweeping in tropics or witches flight). :razz:

Find this word in the Torah and see translators like to argue over Kaneh Bosm or Calamus both being sweet or fragrant cane. Reiteration is herein, Hebrew style.
Kane(male attribute of life)+Bosm(female attribute of life)=Cannabis. Vowel sounds assure the word came from Greece. :???:

The Kaneh Bosm word points to Cannabis (two dogs) in Latin. :eek:

Cane and Able. :shock:

Sumerians used KaNaBa. :smile:

My Dear Marina,
You have doubtless encountered many theories regarding the origin of the word [blimp] (referring to a dirigible). Some are more plausible than others, but what do you think? What is your opinion?

Just went to YT-Subscriptions and this lesson isn’t shown.

Had to do a search to find it.

Games are being played.

Me to my boy , Mormons like it more then one way , all natures goodness rolled up in one good cigar…
But , Like to know the etymology of the word “psychedelic” and why the altered state , changes me in to a different frame of mind?
Marina , now she doesn’t look like the type to hold a grudge but , Stalin now he knew how to hold a grudge…

This is a reply to 50.1.1.1.1:

My take: California is full of hippy-like lazy bums; NY City is full of busy, purposeful people. NYC’s atmosphere is one of hustle and bustle; of people transacting business. And Marina is there on business. It is the great city and the event that Marina is there for that is exciting — the weather just happens to be a minor background. Some aspect of the weather might have caught her attention, but it is not the weather that she is emotionally responding to; she is responding to the that great city and the situation.

–Hs4Mm

Try these as my experiences so far.

I would like to know how the letter “x” has come to replace “christ” in [x-mas]. Was thinking about it with a few of my friends… all of our answers were rediculous.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

onelook.com says “a tiny or scarcely detectable amount,” but the American Heritage dictionary says ” small diacritic mark, such as an accent, vowel mark, or dot over an i.” I like onelook.com because it is an index to many current and historical dictionaries. I like American Heritage because of its etimological information. But it is not half as entertaining as HotForWords!

etymological. Oops.

Hey Marina, I decided I want to take you for a magic carpet ride.

Hey wordlover haven’t seen you lately since, I think you asked what operating system I preferred running.

hey, I’ve always wondered why december is the 12th month of the year, even though dec in december relates to 10.

Oh, goodie! My relief has arrived! Now I can depart in good conscience! :razz:

How about the etymology of [cynefin] as in:

The Cynefin framework is a model used to describe problems, situations and systems. The model provides a taxonomy that guides what sort of explanations and/or solutions may apply…{It} was originally developed … by IBM

Marina gave this one a “bye”. :grin:

Cheers!

Marina’s nickname (see lesson on this) is “Koba”! :shock:

It’s good to have Marina in our time zone for a bit. If it’s cold in New York as it is here, hope she has a Winter jacket this trip.

Interesting! :!:
But, “lippy-libs farting”? Wat dat? :?:

Well, there’s more but, again, I’ll just leave it at that. Sorry. :neutral:

“Cynefin” looks Old English. “cyn” means “kind; kin” and “efin” looks like it is either a form of “efne” (even) or “fin” (fine?) in which case “cyn” would here be “cyne-”.

Hi, John. So which OS do you prefer to run?

I can tell you if Marina doesn’t cover it. Lemme know.

That’s perfectly fine. You were honest about that! :smile:

Why on earth are you rating the same video multiple times? :?:

I actually covered the x-mas in an O’Reilly segment about 2 minutes 56 seconds in.

Ask yourself why YT put limits on the time frame you can rate and you will find the answer. :idea:

“Before heaven”? Er… My Welsh is rusty (and squeaky). What does “cynefin” mean yn Gymraeg?

[Mormon]

Obviously from the Welsh Mor Mon, “Sea of Mon” (i.e. the Irish Sea), Ynys Mon (Anglesey Island) being a large island in the middle of it (not to be confused with the Isle of Man, nor the Isle of Woman.) :mrgreen:

Twenty percent of the Mormons who made the trek to Utah were Welsh, and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir still performs programs of Welsh hymns. :cool:

Why do you think she won’t do it?

… “Товарища” (“Tovarishcha,” “Comrade”, feminine) having gone out of style. “Господина” (“Gospodina,” Mrs.) might also be used; but can the term also mean “Miss” (Marina being unmarried)?

because she has a life :roll:

I must admit, I’ve never heard that theory before. I could tell you the theories I’ve heard but I haven’t received the green light from Marina yet… :mrgreen:

I believe it can. I mean, I don’t see why it couldn’t.

Wow…now I know how renepayback felt when I deciphered his pun in Slovak.

“Cynefin” has no English equivalent, but is used to describe the connection of animals (including humans) to their environment. In sheepherding, it is used to describe the attachment of the ewes to a particular territory, so that the herd will not scatter to the far hills.

Peter Ho Davies’ novel The Welsh Girl explores the concept of cynefin in humans, and what happens to one’s sense of identity and ethics when one becomes severed from one’s roots.

David Snowden of IBM applied the concept to a model of decision-making, predicting one’s decisions (especially in times of crisis) based upon one’s roots.

Oh Lady Marina Most-Divine! Unending appreciation can never be enough! for the knowledge you “alley-oop” to us lowly ‘students’ (knowledge-”receivers”) so that the educated among us may profitably use the knowledge to answer questions and ask even-better ones on MyLot!

Unlike you! :razz: :lol:

Do you happen to know the etymology of cynefin? Has it any cognates in any of the other Brythonic languages? Or Celtic? Or even PIE (Proto-Indo-European)? I’m eager to know.

You’re very tactful. When I don’t know an answer, I just take off on a flight of fancy, based on whatever facts I do know. :lol: (See handkerchief). :roll:

Discussing a word doesn’t dissuade Marina from doing a video on it; it probably has the opposite effect. :smile:

Are you familiar with the word [nether]?

OK. In that case, I’ll tell you. The usual theory is that the word [Mormon] is a [macaronic] of English “more” and Egyptian “mon” (meaning ‘good’). So its translation could be rendered, in a kind of [pigeon], “more good”, i.e., ‘better’.

DAMMIT! I meant [pidgin]! :oops: :oops: :oops:

Hi wordlover,

leonard is from Wisconsin, which is probably irrelevant. Randomness and free association is his artform, and he has his own unique take on reality, which confuses some people at first. But he does come up with some truly interesting posts. :smile:

I’m trying! I’m preparing for my TV taping today. I have to be prepared, so I am actually studying! Cram session for the teacher! :-)

Oh, BTW, tittle is a dot or slash above a letter, esp. one above ‹i› or ‹j›. In Turkish, the capital of ‹i› is not ‹I› but ‹İ›. Likewise, the lowercase of ‹I› is not ‹i› but ‹ı›. However, the capital of ‹j› is ‹J› and not ‹J̇›.

A jot¹, incidentally is an iota ‹ι›, which itself takes no tittle.

¹So called figuratively from its being the smallest letter in the Greek alphabet.

Ok. I’m sorry for being impatient! :oops:

Speaking of suspense, RB, did you ever get your phone call from Marina? :grin:

Hi wordlover!

As part of your continuing site orientation, and especially given your knowledge of Russian, do be cautious about commenting on any remark written by a Russian in Russian and addressed to Marina. I got my butt chewed a couple of times for that before my ex-wife explained it to me:

Intruding on a Russian’s comment to Marina in their native language is a symbolic re-enactment of the Teutonic, Napoleonic, and Nazi invasions of the Motherland, and he will react accordingly.

:shock:

Which I thought was very perceptive, coming from someone who thought the Amazon River is in Africa! :lol:

Hi hs4mm,

I’ve been pondering some of your recent posts on Objectivism. Riddle me this:

Why does a self-proclaimed intellectual champion of rational self-interest and consensual human relations (aka Ayn Rant) glorify smoking and rape in her novels? :???:

And regarding your remarks on laughing at oneself: Wouldn’t a woman who goes into a jealous “hell hath no fury” rage at being sexually rejected by a married man 25 years her junior be better off if she could see the humor in the situation? :razz:

Having been an Objectivist in my 20s, I tend toward the belief that one recovers from it with age and perspective.

[tilde]: Depends; is that-a you tilde or ma tilde :?: :mrgreen:

1) When she wrote, smoking was considered harmless and OK and was prevalent just as coffee drinking is today; and so characters in her novels smoked (and she smoked in real life). Her novels do not glorify rape.

2) No idea what you are writing about here.

3) In my opinion, that’s your loss; but you are entitled to live your life any way you see fit (and, of course, you don’t need my or anyone else’s sanction to do so).

Go to http://m-w.com Merrium-Webster on-line dictionary to ask for definitions.

Take any word, say, angel.

For vowels, left to right, start with the first vowel, and, change it, to “e”, asking the dictionary to find word engel.

You will, if not spelling a recognised word, get a misspelling helper and receive ten recommondation from the mispelling helper.

Often in this list of words is/are very telling corelations.

Try again asking for ingel, then ongel, ungel and yngel.

For consonants, try mirror image ideas, like p’s and d’s or …….

Well the game is named, any player, reporters?

Marina, I had a strange dream which led to a strange word request.

Dream–

I was sitting in an outdoor area full of benches and picnic tables — the benches and tables were filled with people sitting elbow to elbow. After overhearing snippets of conversation, I could tell that most of the people there seemed to be unemployed, and most were despondent.

I could hear a guy named ‘Oros’, who was an unemployed waiter, complaining that he couldn’t find a job. At the same time, I could hear another guy who was a restaurant manager complaining that he couldn’t find any good waiters. This whole time, an obviously depressed man that looked to be in his 60s or 70s sat to my left. He kept mumbling, but I couldn’t make out the words.

After a bit, the man on my left dropped a penny that landed at my feet. I bent down to pick it up. As I did, the man to my left pulled out a pistol, put it to his head, and pulled the trigger. The bullet passed through his head, and through the space above me where my head would have been if I hadn’t bent down to pick up the penny. Blood and brain matter showered the left side of my face and body as I picked up the penny.

Everybody got quiet. I stood up and walked over to the garbage can, showed the penny to a couple of people who were watching me with that slack jawed expression and said, “Lucky penny”. I dropped the penny into the trash, then everybody started to whisper. They seemed more shocked that I would throw away a ‘lucky penny’ than by the fact that a man just blew his brains out in the middle of all of them, and I was standing there wearing all the spatter.

All I could think of was, why didn’t that dumb-assed manager just hire Oros?

Request– Does [Oros] mean anything? That name is stuck in my head.

You may enlighten someone else, or (more importantly) you will clarify your own position by putting your thoughts into words.

On the other hand: The government enforced [sanctions] on the country, i.e. put limitation on the country’s behavior.

I desperately want Marina back home for a new lesson. It’s been too long.

It’s a good thing I don’t twitter, ’cause if I did, I would probably tweet something like “Writing a book review for Manliness & Civilization. Interesting book, why should I feel guilt about being a white man?” Since nobody would really care that I am writing this book review, I would just be wasting everyone’s time who bothered to read my tweet. Good thing I don’t waste people’s time like that, huh? :roll:

and then I tweet to Marina “Hey, you’re wearing my scarf again. Looks great!”

“Flock of birds”, “pack of wolves” and sometimes something as weird as “school of fish”.

Could you research the “school of fish”, for instance?

Thanks!

Square Bob Sponge Pants wants to know the origin of the expression… [kiss my ass!] :mrgreen:

Beside from wordlover‘s definition, tittle also means a iota; an small, tinny bit of something. Possibly an archaic word now.

For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

If you join it with tattle (to let out secret, chatter), as in tittle-tattle, changes it’s meaning to gossip or dumb chattering.

As you know, no one over thirty years of age is afraid of tittle-tattle. I myself find it much less difficult to strangle a man than to fear him.

Comfortable time? Uh-oh! That sounds weird. :???:

Indeed, I have noticed it (hence my abovegiven comment). This letter calls for an unrounded close back vowel [ɯ], which is essentially saying [u] without any rounding of the lips.

The plain dotted ‹i› is pronounced approximately like the i in “bit”.

What is this?!

Well, one night I was type-type-typing away (as is my wont, in case you haven’t already noticed) and I wasn’t getting any responses though the people from whom I was wishing to get responses were ALL online at the same time as I. I couldn’t figure it out. I asked CaptainJack SEVERAL TIMES how he changed his gravatar and he wouldn’t answer me! I guess I got kinda paranoid. I then provided a quote from SW:A New Hope to make my point clear. Some bloke then comes in and says (as best I can remember) “it’s great to see so many happy people here”. I couldn’t understand why nobody was giving me the time of day (so to speak). Having had more than enough I fled. Stayed away for ca. a year(?) and one day I was at twitter tweeting away and I noticed CaptainJack. I said howdy to him and he mentioned that—get this—people missed me at HFW and was wondering what happened to me! Then I got a tweet from Marina and—long story made short(?)—I came back here to see how thing have turned out. THE END* (*that is, the story ends where we begin here).

Q: What’s this: њук њук њук :?:
A: Serbian subtitle on a Three Stooges movie! :mrgreen:

Pranked? Ahem, you’re a day early, Evan. :razz:

ealga, you should go to http://www.waywordradio.org/ and suggest this game. Martha and Grant will love it! (And if you do, tell em wordsmith sent you!)

Let’s just put it this way: 9/11 was an

There that’s all I’m allowed to say. The guy standing next to me is about to pull the trigger. Gotta go!…

Nice usage there.

Thanks, Sweetie. I’ve yet to make it to New York. Someday…

Damn, girl, just noticed the time – did you pull an all – nighter?

Check page 3 for more info. (That is, while page 3 is still “page 3″)

Wow. Good eye there!

In Greek, ορός means [serum]
While όρος means “condition”, “term”, or “proviso”.

If we knew more about obfuskation’s background we might be able to deduce what his subconscious was trying to tell him.

Hi there Marina. I would like to request [F.U.B.A.R] , because i think it was used in WW2 and i’m sure it has a story behind it. I know what it stands for (the first word being…..bad), but i would still like to find out where this word came from. Thankyou!

P.S I am new to the site, and i think it is great! Especially how can educate so many people in suck a creative way!

I’m getting in here late, but still a great question.

The late, great Chet Atkins with Mark Knopfler – yes, they actually recorded an album together. It’s called “Neck and Neck”. Sometimes restrained and subtle, but eye-moistening guitar conversation.

Hopefully, you meant “such a creative way!” :shock: :lol:

C’mon, now, you know it was funnier the first way!

:mad: Stop signs, are a complete command. )(-:;..commending too, wordlover*****[corona] :sad: got to fry-up my liver? rye sauce is the debate; impress the catch-er :cry: {mess]

Saw a neat quote today:

The older I get the less I find evil interesting, and the more I find goodness interesting.

[snake-oil]…butter, olive oil and onions is cooking the frying of the gift of “sheep liver”… :grin: smelly food :lol:

To be sure. But remember that “suck” can be an insult as well as a compliment.

This TV really sucks!
This vacuum cleaner really sucks!

Marina’s twitpic=Apple-polisher.

You should create cryptograms for a newspaper. Rest assured they’d have me puzzled for a good while! :lol:

That was awful, wasn’t it…

Welcome to this fine site!…ENJOY—squidman :smile:

peace sign scarf?..(/ll\) [polish] mile l :razz:

Geoff Smith (the great jingler) has one. He says there’s no SMS but that it’s good nonetheless.

Croeso, Rhanc!

:grin: :smile: Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins & Eric Clapton – Matchbox…nice taste **!** originalistrick …homework..Rory Gallagher (Taste)- Gambling Blues ( Live-isle of wight)…the real Irish terror :lol: :razz:

The only kind of music I can listen to (be it on CD, radio, or any other format) while I work is jazz. I get distracted with all other styles. But when I surf, etc. I listen to nothing but the music already playing thru my head. It’s called audiation. It’s a huge struggle. But it keeps me from getting bored… sometimes.

Current audiation track: “Still Alive” (Jonathan Coulton)

Thanks. Good to be here.

Truly awful would’ve been “apple-russianer”

Marina, could you cover the origin of the word [mogul]? It’ll be fun! Thanks! :mrgreen:

bsomebody…how did your class presentation go? Ja get dem bo-oks read? Taste (Rory Gallagher ) – Sugar Mama (live 1969)…little bit of ECO-history of bars and scars :roll: ….

Oh, yeah, leonard, I can see we have something in common.

Aww, man! Nice.

I felt uncom.fortable…my fingers feel time and feedback with amps is smashing the comforts of timing :cool: :evil: :shock: jazzed with my Olive(r)s and a Jelly Roll, to go :lol: pricks of leasure

And the award for most original free-form poetry goes to… :arrow:

Crazy time….[E-Verify]…government trade mark…. :sad: :evil: :shock:

Marina, I would like to know when and where you got [Kobe](sp.?) and how he got his name. C’mon! Pweeeeeease!!!!! :cool:

I sent an email to words@waywordradio.org as you suggested. Used your recommondation in subject line. All went pretty good, waiting to hear back from those folks.

When I left the internet cafe, net to the Hard Rock cafe, I was surprised to find gone, my tied up mule, Don Quixote, had loosened herself.

Luckly, I was able to tell by herfott steps, she was on the way to the Country Western bar, nearby.

Has anyone seen my mule, Don Quixote? I got to catch her before she burrows herself in to being a jack-ass at the bar.

If you see her, you can get her attention with a burrito. Tell her, Don Quixote, go home.

Well, any more lines to develop here?

Where do you live? And how old is Don Quixote?

Still works for me… although I can’t tell if my votes really do count on a daily basis.
Waiting for results from the accountant.

Go Here & click the Up Arrow for “M” & the down arrow for “Phil” & your life will have new meaning :wink:

I still have three more weeks before I present, but thanks for keeping me in mind. I’m getting to the grind, now. Only two more books for the weekly stuff, but both of the major projects yet :neutral: . This eugenics stuff can get pretty depressing :cry: .

I love Mark Knopfler, but I listen mostly to his Dire Straits stuff, esp. the non top forty tracks. If I could play like anybody, it would be him. I don’t own that album, but I have listened to it a few times. Great stuff; it’s on my list.

Oooh, you were on sabbatical while that all happened. Fans kept referring to her dog as “Gorby,” so she changed his name from Kobe to Gorby — thinking it better to honor Mikhael Gorbachev than Kobe Bryant. The dog accepted the name change, and has been Gorby ever since (late fall last year, I think it was.) :smile:

I second [mogul]! And while we’re at it:

[nabob]
[pundit]
[diva]
[pajamas]
[candy]
[maharajah]
[guru]
[yoga]
[nirvana]
That’s getting ‘indu the spirit, right? :grin:

Croeso oddiwrthaf fi hefyd! (En otras palabras…¡bienvenido! “Rhanc” quiere decir “encuentro” en galés. ¡Qué bien encontrar a Ud.!) :grin:

Oh, uhh…just assumed you speak español since you asked for [mordida]. Welcome / croeso / bienvenido…you get the idea.

Ouch!

OOOOHHHH, THANK YOU!!! for the reminder!!! I can HARDLY wait! :!: :mrgreen:

@stigma: I believe the Hebrew vowel marks are called “neqqu dots.” :wink:

No offense taken, and your advice with the meds is apropos. Today I was dealing with a complex interaction of cough suppressants, caffeine, sleeping pills, and ADD meds; ended up thinking I was awake while sleeping and vice versa. As to…what?

apple add, stupid me :roll:

Hm, sounds like the “u” in North Welsh “punt.” Thanks — I think we’re hearing some of that here. (Acknowledgements to leonard for this video.)

or even [goatsucker]! (Jeez — in English, it sounds perverted!) :eek:

OK it worked in FF, maybe because I deleted my cookies in IE just before I went to the page.

Yodh think they could come up with a more original name than “iota.” :mrgreen:

Evan….The best Belly Dance.Ксения Корнейчук и “ХАТТОР” в “БУРЖУА”…thanks :smile:

Hello wordlover,
Good to see you back again. As Evan mentioned, while you were away, Marina changed her cutest dog’s name from Kobe to Gorby. Marina created a page just for that occasion and you can find it here. As Evan mentioned the fall, it was Oct 28, 2008.

Iota quit telling bad puns! :roll:

Спасибо! :grin:

By the way, i did mean SUCH! Sorry about the confusion. How embarrassing! :???:

a tittle is the dot on a lower case i and/or j.

Great Chet Atkins with Mark Knopfler.
