My homework – writing scripts

hwork-big.jpg Hey guys, I just wanted to let you know that I am doing my homework.  I’m writing scripts for new words and expressions: oleaginous,  saponaceous, poindexter and the phrase “straight from the horse’s mouth”.

I’m going for fun videos like my Donkey Punch one… so if you have any funny ideas that you’d like me to include, mention them in the comments below!

Now if I could just shake this cold…

    You need to be pounding glassfuls of Airborne and using mass amounts of Zicam, your cold will be gone lickity-split. It works for me and I can’t stand being sick…almost to where its a problem or a phobia. :neutral:

    Thank you for the update and info.

    Regarding your cold, might it either be allergy induced or just allergies. I’ve got the same thing right now and it happens when the winds kick up.

    As PD says, the Zicam stuff works and they have many types of products, but key for me is to put a teaspoon of lemon everything I drink and spray nose with saline solution.

  • hs4mm

    Regarding “Now if I could just shake this cold…”: When I have had malaise, some of the following have helped: thinking (either in the course of working, doing math homework, reading a novel etc.); fluids (water if it tastes good); salt water gargle for sore throat; and — this might seem contradictory but — both rest and exercise (especially swimming).

    My Uncle claims that one sure fire way of getting rid of a cold is eating 3 fresh garlic cloves, one cup of sauerkraut, 5 boiled eggs, a can of cold beans, and six pack of Budweiser beer. He says the major build-up of “gas” in your system pushes the cold bug “out the back door”, if you know what he means. He also said to open a window for some fresh air to get in and have some fresh underwear handy just in case! :shock: :shock: :shock: :lol: :lol: :lol:

    More seriously… get some fresh ginger root and peel off the skin… dice up a good sized piece and toss it into a pot of good orange juice ( half litre/500ml/16 ounces ).

    Hmmm, makes me wonder where the expression “to shake off a cold” come from. Coz people make shakes as in tonics and funky mixes to fight off colds with :?:

  • hotfor-hotforwords-

    Your ultimate solution Marina, if you wanna rid yourself of that cold I recommend fresh Garlic. One or two peeled cloves, sliced thinly or chopped coarsely, placed in the palm of your hand, then swallowed with a drink of whatever you choose. Garlic is excellent for fortifying your immune system to take care of that cold from the inside. :smile:

    “Infomavore” is an interesting word. Today’s news mentioned something about extreme text messaging, basically twitter overload. Apparently some people who text message constantly can get “twitter overload” could be where these faux cold symptoms come from. :oops: :lol: lol

    If the Lady is seriously looking for word requests, I may have to post one myself. I had given up making requests quite a while ago, since she tends to stick to video requests and these trendy little “hot topics.” The word [race] should have an interesting history and is extremely relevant today. Though this word is not from the “trendy” part of town, its ambiguous meanings are very interesting.

  • alatus_leo

    I’ve always wondered about poindexter. Hope you get well again soon! :smile:

  • alatus_leo

    I can explain exit: from the latin verb exire, meaning to “go out of”. Exire is composed of the prefix “ex” (out) and the verb ire (to go).

    Theology: from the greek theos (god) and logos (study of). So, theology is the study of god(s).

    But I guess it’s not the same if Marina isn’t explaining it. :P

  • matalexwolf

    Hey marina,
    Got thinking, probably off the track but worth a pop.

    Could have, HFW’s Reports/ Investigates!! Have three characters; One news desk, one weather girl and one roaming outdoor reporter.

    1)One is ever so goody twoshoes, girl next door very geeky (poindexter??), haphazzard and clumbsy; tends to be picked on by the other two a little but always gets her own back albeit with facial expressions and pranks, without the other(s) ever knowing. Kinda useless but informative.

    2)One is your Bar Girl type, only more dense. Pouty, finger in the mouth, eyelid flutter…has one special talent which isn’t too taxing.(saponaceous??) -(she could come armed with bar of soap and a towel for an audition in a soap!)

    3)The third is quite a moody type, professional to a fault, uptight but knows everything. A bit stuffy. Flattery gets you everywhere so a little dipsy at times.(oleaginous)

    Thought at first 1 could be the roaming reporter

    2 – The weather girl

    3- News desk.

    but, move them around! 1) is News Desk(paper everywhere, disorganised), 2) reporter (as above, of few words!)
    3) weather girl(fed up sticking magnetic weather signs, always interupting the News Desk and Reporter to get things right)

    (room for evil twin maybe?)

    Having guest people on who represent the origin of the word, or you mimmicking someone who does; locate via video magic, different cities around the world linking word origins to them.

    More focus on your neighbourhood possibly, many characters about, (thai resturant lady, bar girl, pizza dude and your mum were classics)

    will report back later, as feeling under the weather also with a cold. (aren’t we always [under the weather] regardless of how we feel?) – hope you get well soon

    A cold? Poor thing. Just call me and I will come over and fix you a bowl of hot sicken choup.

  • pig-in-a-poke

    I loved the Donkey video, but would rather have not learned what it meant. Here’s a couple quick ideas:
    Straight from the horse’s mouth, “Hello, Wilbur.”

    Poindexter is an American surname descended from the Poingdestre family of Jersey. In its original form, the name means ‘right fist’, but I was fond of the character with a 222 IQ on the Felix the Cat Show.

  • CampKohler – Sacramento CA

    Or don’t, and it will also go away. :lol:

  • CampKohler – Sacramento CA

    Probably comes from the fact that a cold is a minor ailment and therefore could seemingly be brushed off by mere willpower.

  • http://www.rockyfrisco.com hotrocky

    Let me amend that: it will go away quicker. If you had been doing that every day, it never would have showed up in the first place. Most winter colds are brought about by lowered immunity because of low levels of sunlight and (therefore) vitamin D.

  • dernevadarebell

    If anything, bring back the characters that were in the donkey punch video.

  • pig-in-a-poke

    oleaginous
    1. having the nature or qualities of oil.
    4. unctuous; fawning; smarmy.

    Ole! The matador was not slippery enough, and the bull struck back.

    saponaceous
    resembling soap; soapy rock band, and cartoon.

    Milk is not good for you. Countries where humans use very little or no cow’s milk have much lower rates of breast and prostate cancer. The amount of D in milk is not enough to support the immune system. It’s either the icky outdoors or the pills!

  • matalexwolf

    Hey Marina,
    Without stepping on Gorby’s wee paws, got thinking about a side-kick character. ‘Book Worm!’ – either a computer generated image or a hand held puppet, maybe. Also, and this is daft but anyhoo, give it a shot, two ‘book ends’ on the shelves, one boy one girl, one clever one not so clever. Worm as with Bookends are helping you out with word meanings and their origins……/ the pupils liked the idea hence mention to you :)

    Dictionary Girl needs to be more of a bimbo M, maybe! Geeky girl was spot on. Again the pupils laughed with tears at you, now making oinky pigglet grunts hopping up and down, which is proving quite disturbing! I would never confess openly to have ever made those same noises but….on occasions it, may have, been known. Also reminded that my social skills are seriously lacking but all good when not distracted by things! Not clever enough to qualify as a poindexter so I’ll stick with being a Himbo, for now!

    Love, peace and knowledge
    M:)

    Hi Marina,

    I’d like to request two words/topics : first, the origin of the word “trespass” and how that word and many others have lost their meaning due to my second word : “bureaucracy”. Mainly these topics offend me but I would like you, our teacher to assess their true meanings so I can build some defense against my “trespassing” charges. :wink:

    Hi Marina,

    Will there come a day when other philologists will write the scripts and you will just perform them on camera?

    Looking forward to more funny lessons with characters like the used car salesman in “Oleaginous”…

    Great request, brokenninja, and good luck in court. I used to be a government bureaucrat. I didn’t like it either. The word has something to do with [drawers].
