Oleaginous

:mrgreen: FAWKIN GREAT …. keep doin’ these ones! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!

wow

Present

:mrgreen:

(jeez couldn’t you at least watch it first?)

:smile: Soul pretty like a peach… :wink:

smoke’m boys :lol:

No homework? Aww, shucks… :sad:

I’m still laughing!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

My arse hurts… :???:

Orlova-genius in action! (Including that nice ass! Who’s the ass?)

HW: No.

Pay attention — there is HW!

Pretty Slick Marina! :cool:

This video is extreme unction! :shock: :smile: :lol: :smile:

Ich sehe es nicht… :???:

yeah i know a few oleaginous types.

Not a bit smarmy. Very slick show Marina.
Thank you for the laughs.

Assuming that means you are saying there isn’t, how about the question at about 0:57?

Lady M, I never thought I would say this to you, but I loved your little ass. :roll: Very funny. Some good stuff in there.

{Somebody digs out his notes from his speed-reading class to prepare for the next lesson. :razz:

Owned.

Allow me to explain. My computer has a slow processor (G3). When I watch Marina’s videos the visual updates every 5 or so seconds so I miss quite a bit of the video. :sad:

(fuckin’ smartarse :roll: )

BTW, Nathan, you misspelled “pwned”. Hurr durr. :P

Marina,

No, I do not know any geniuses. I liked your characters from Donkey Punch better: I was confused, why was a used car salesman wearing a crown hoodie thing and that hat? Although the other character was good: she seemed beautiful and intelligent. Or wait, maybe that was just you…

Also, was that cigarette even lit?

WOWWWWWWWOOOUUUUUUAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!

That car is a REAL SHOW STOPPER!!! I’ll buy that for a dollar!

The colour, though, the colour… Bah. A quick paint job and it’s on the road!

:smile: I’m sorry. I almost forgot to say that both ladies are gorgeous too. :smile:

Good work

This is the kind of video that is entertaining and non-offensive and thus:
A. Can be on the new Youtube commercial channel
B. Will appeal to the studio you got email about (business email)

As ever, your skirt is showing
:-) Nice ass too! Heee Haww!!

:shock:
neurowaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

Please help me! Nathan is trying to rape me with his 15-year-old peenor! :mad:

:mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Oh yeah, HW :oops: Do I know any oily geniuses? Hmmm, uh… definitely not anybody at this site. No. Definitely not.

Oh, don’t get so defensive. I was just bustin’ yor bawls. :mrgreen:

No no no! she only drove it to church on Sunday

Is that a wheely your doing, or are you just happy to be here? :???:

Regarding the slow connection: technically, while the user is being shown a choppy video, the software is supposed to be accumulating the bits of the video on the user’s computer itself; once the video has played to the full in choppy form, if the user hits replay, the video is supposed to be shown from the local copy — which would have a good rendering. That’s how it is supposed to work; it doesn’t always work that way, but it does sometimes; I need to rely on this technique for watching the video in High Definition.

PS: Toshe Haroshow Ooshanka

That’s a wheely cause I’m just SOOOOOO happy to be here…somewhere…ANYWHERE on the internet! I don’t have a life. I ordered one on eBay and didn’t pay for premium shipping and it burned up in a Fed Ex truck fire in Kansas! The seller is all out of lives now. But as soon as they get another batch from China I’m going to get another one AND pay for overnight mail!

Thanks for the advice but my computer really does show videos slowly. I can’t watch DVDs on my computer. They won’t even load. Slow, slow computer… :(

I can however watch videos on my iPod when I copy them over but I figure I should go ahead and “watch” them here. I REALLY need to get a new PC…

BTW, thanks for telling me about the homework I honestly didn’t see that part. :)

Good catch. I automatically heard that. Thought Che had fallen off his rocker again, so I went back and listened for the third time. I should know better than to doubt el Che.

BTW, is somebody the only one who would love to get his hands on that? A real fixxer-upper. I could get into a lot of trouble once I had her all tricked out. :cool:

uh… doitashimashte, uhh… senor. :roll:

So what exactly did we learn from this :???:

Oleaginous… did you know what it meant? And where it came from?

That’s a funny one!! I should have used it! :-)

I’ll buy that for a dollar! So funny… from that movie.. can’t remember the name.

Go back, watch it a few more times (in HD, of course,) and keep your mouse perched over the pause button. Whenever you see words flash on the screen, hit pause (or read really fast.) See, we have some good stuff in there. :roll:

[ head in the right spot ]

Buy enough “previously owned” cars, and we’ve heard ‘em all. :roll:

Speaking of oily. Here are some other words that cover this concept:

oleic
sebaceous
unctuous

These are in the literal sense.

Did you mean to take me to a Goggle search page? :???:

Sorry, removed the link.

if i recall correctly it was robocop 1.

I love it! :smile:

Way to let yourself go. Are you taking acting classes?

Hey, thats a great car! Its a new model…in Cuba. :neutral:

Now I see what you mean by “writing scripts”. :shock:

Little bit o’ polish & a nice set of tires & that baby really is a Peach

Dear Marina,
You are the nicest of all the geniuses I know. :razz:
It did seem to be very cold outside in that photo of the used ah, “car.” So I hope you weren’t outside only wearing that yellow mini-dress and high heels. You could catch a terrible cold, that way! :shock:
I really hope you don’t smoke cigarettes. It’s very unhealthy. I saw the cigarette in your video was unlit (good) and you were using as a prop to be “in character.” It was awful when I kissed a woman with tobbacco breath. I never forgot it, though! :!:
Olive oil is good for you, but I use very little because too much oil is unhealthy and fattening. From your salesman charicature, I see why “oleaginous” is a perjorative! :twisted:
Seesixcm6

Oleaginous — excellent word! I will use it in a proper sentence within the next 72 hours! I promise!

:lol: I’m surprised that dirty little creep didn’t try to sell you a saddle for your donkey.

Really? Damn, it’s been too long since I last watched that flick… :roll:

How about this link (the best example I could find of having one’s head in the right spot)?: http://twitpic.com/3c31j

Yes, I saw it in Robocop too. :smile:

I just have to say I watched it again and the salesman character is the best!

You nailed it. :smile:

That you have to be filthy rich and wear it well to get the hot chicks :?: :!:

Hoodie and hat because it was cold. The customer is hot — volcanic hot — and so the climate around her was warm.

teehee

:lol: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPURa1N9_yc

That is my sign, after all. :grin:

Being a car salesman is usually not a primary career choice.

That was hilarious! :mrgreen: bizarro word + bellylaff = *****

Do you know why the salesman is surrounded by snow and needs to wear warm cloths, but the lady is in a pleasant climate and is comfortable wearing mini-summer-dress? It is because the lady is hot — volcanic hot!

Olea! Ain’t that tease for a charging bull?

:cool: Never used the word; but, oleomargarine was outlawed in Wisconsin…”the dairy state” and butter capital of the nation. I thought HotForWords was [onei.ro.mancy] :razz:

it is always entertaining when marina makes an ass out of herself.

Uh, doesn’t Sargent Preston want his hat back?

Oh, so you want to speak to the manager? Better drop to your knees then.

Yeah, right. Just image how oleaginous felt. Cept you’re only a chimp, but even chimps need hugs too. Would you settle for a banana instead?

:mrgreen: Life hands you olives make olive oil. It’s a good thing.

:smile: Drive my car performed The Beatles from the Rubber Soul :lol:

One would make a better salesperson if one wore a nice sweater, and somebody else did the sweating.

i don’t know, selling used cars could be be fun.

That’s a funny ass movie!

LMAO! Marina can pull off comedy acting quite well, which is tough in general, and not that common for a pretty woman. Who’d have thought she had such a face for comedy? As lovely as she is, she’s great at comically expressing herself in a slightly over the top way! Way to go, teach! :lol:

I love ‘the crown’ shirt she was wearing too. As somebody who just finished their ‘king’ themed album (I even have a song called ‘The Crown’), I take it as a good sign. And I’m not being oleaginous. I prefer giving real words of encouragement and real compliments, not trumped up ones. Honesty is the best policy, especially when dealing with a woman like Marina who is not just another pretty face! Take a tip from me and Niccolo Machiavelli… if you are up to falsehoods and flattery, make sure you put a real, friendly face on it. Otherwise, people will read you like a book.

Well, it kind of figures that this word has it’s origin in olive oil and probably Italy. As somebody who is 25% Sicilian myself, I can see how the word would come from somebody oily, swarthy, and lascivious! Hey, that last word I just used is kind of interesting. Maybe I should word request [lascivious]. That’d make a great Sith name, by the way… Darth Lascivious! I imagine he’d have a very crude and suggestive lightsaber. lol

Thanks for another interesting lesson delivered in a very fun way, Marina. Keep up the good work! Peace and love, Errin : )

Well, she does have a nice ass. I just hope she doesn’t donkey punch it! :grin:

Whenever I get rejected and have nothing to do on the weekend I go see Cal:

Marina, is that smokey joe your androgynous brother? I think he upstaged you :wink:

Seeing how you’re a skankologist and all, you seen one ass you probably seen em all, huh? Seriously though, nice ass!

David Copperfield’s Uriah Heep :eek: but ole-og-ganous rolls off the tongue a bit better.

Harry Wormwood was a good used car salesman.

:grin: I really enjoy this style of HotForWords videos. Interesting to see how these characters are fleshed out, really creative and funny so far.

Ok that was loopy! hehehehe. :mrgreen:

I am confident you will s-l-i-d-e it in there somehow. :mrgreen:

lol! memories! :sad:

lmao! thats a seller!

I remember as a kid that you could not buy yellow margerine (supposedly so that consumers wouldn’t be fooled when they really wanted butter). It came white in a plastic bag. You poured in yellow food coloring (supplied) and squished around the bag in your hands until it was mixed. Of course it was not a nice, neat stick at all, but — get this — we weren’t fooled into thinking it was butter, so the law worked! Of course it was just a ploy of the dairy industry, which showed their political influence.

You are very [talented]! I have some words for you Young Lady!

Who checks your business E-Mail? More on Thursday or Friday if I don’t hear…

I’m trying to help you!

Marina,

Looks like your having a lot of creative fun with this new mode.
Fun to watch as well.

Hello HFW,
I would like to know the origin of the word [background] or if it really is a single word or two words people just use together thinking they are a single word? My computer’s dictionary does not recognize it. Thank you

Um, what am I trying to do?

The temperature doesn’t enter into it: those just aren’t the sort of things a used car salesman is going to be wearing.

Homework :cool:
AWESOME & :lol: Lesson Marina :!: Telemarkerters are oleaginous!

That was very clever. Thanks Marina. LOL !!

thanks for making me laugh today :smile: enjoyed that accurate salesman pitch!!!

Hello Marina. I would like to know the word [luscious] which you are

Marina… interesting article about success? etc.

that report was commissioned in july of 2008 by george w. bush’s department of homeland security. are you a t.a. for marina or a t.a. for rush limbaugh?

Dear Marina,
When your car salesman says “You’re gorgeous, beautiful, like a peach”, is that good? I’ve never used the expression, “like a peach.”
I’ve heard of a slang term, “peachy.” It was used before World War One and it meant “nifty” or “splendid.” Sometimes, the phrase “peachy keen” was used. In those days, I don’t think “peachy” meant gorgeous.
So, was the oleaginous salesman being mean to you by calling you a peach? In Moscow, would beautiful women like me if I said they were Как персик?
Just asking, Seesixcm6

There are all kinds of used car salesmen ranging from those who are primarily new car dealers to those who fix up rusty old cars and vanish after the sale.

:cool: Good Job Karl….funny pimple barrito gracioso :sad: …good day to not be hungry… :lol:

Just a note to everyone that tomorrow is YouTubes redesign

They will probably do the usual things and make a bullshit blog (haha bullshit isn’t recognised by the spell checker as a word that is mis-spelled… funny I didn’t think it was a word?!) on how it will make youtube better, whilst at the same time making the fact that they are pushing all the raw content to the back of the shelf so glorious.

So tomorrow, peoples. YouTube really is dead.

I am working on a class project and I would like to request [Benefit of the doubt]. I requested it earlier but forgot to put it in the []s. :smile:

That lesson was funny marina, well done on getting rid of the blue outlines too!!!! Sleazy car salesman??? By the way he was holding that cigarette I would say he was hiding something :wink:

I have made a video request for [shank] as in to stab someone… I will upload it soon.

WTF :?: C what language are you speakin :shock:
Marina :wink: help please :oops:
:cool: B.B. :lol:

Hi Marina,

Since it is April 15th, could you do a video on the origin of the word [tax] or [taxes]?

heh, I see you’re enjoying doing characters more now–good stuff

I agree.

I have a feeling Marina does smoke. I think I saw her smoking in a picture on twitter, I couldnt make it out enough though

Owww, that’s too [taxing] of a subject. :grin:

Where is your link? Show me proof – don’t spread rumors.
Show me verifiable evidence that former President Bush ordered this report, as it is written.
My status as Marina’s TA is quite clear.
This document is a teachable moment illustrating how words can be perverted and twisted to serve a political and ideological agenda.
Your facetious question regarding Rush Limbaugh is just your attempt to insult my intelligence. Are you unhappy that you weren’t selected to be a TA, and feel some need to vent your anger at me? Any parallel to my own opinions and Rush Limbaugh’s ideas are coincidental – nothing more. I do my own critical analysis independent of Rush Limbaugh. Why didn’t you suggest Hannity or other known conservatives?
There are so many to choose from, yet – you chose Rush Limbaugh? Your lack of knowledge makes me laugh.
I find it interesting that you did not question the facts presented in this report. Why not? I did!
I spent days verifying the contents and only received confirmation this morning at 2 am from a former Congressman that this document is genuine.
Explain how President Bush was able to direct the content released in this document, when he was not in office for over three monthes prior to it’s release?
When Obama can reverse stem cell research policy, how can you hold Bush responsible for this document as it is written? I want to see specific language proving Bush did more than commission a threat assessment, targeting right wing conservatives, Christians, veterans, housewives, and other law abiding private citizens, as this document does.
I bet you a banana that you can’t prove it :mrgreen:

Oh yeah, I almost forgot. This is only the first in a series being produced by the Obama administration.
There are more planned which are not yet published,
so provide proof for these documents being linked to Bush, while your at it.

 
Marina, your expressions are lovingly memorable. I swear you must have a thousand and one expressions. There are two new expressions that are very memorable, that I don’t think I’ve seen you use before.

When the used car salesman says (0:10), “You look gorgeous, beautiful like a peach”, the young lady’s expression in the yellow dress is absolutely adorable and very memorable. Great editing.

Then, the thumbnail above (0:43), reminds me of Jessica Rabbit.
I love this lesson. I think I’ve seen it over 30 times now. :grin:

“Hey hunny” :mrgreen:
Really love your peaches…
Your used car salesman character needed a pencil thin mustache

That was very funny Marina made me laugh :lol: :lol: good job. Could you do something with your sister sometime :lol:

I’m on board!

HAHA I was looking through my videos at youtube and noticed I had written in one of the descriptions.

“The next lesson will be called”

Since when did I do lessons? :lol:

O’Good video now shows lovely behind! (Previously only referred to it in dialog; continues to show lovely legs and top.)

Marina, how do you upload videos when you are away? I want to upload a video on my birthday but I will be away….. Also the spell check thing doesn’t seem to be working for me in firefox (it never worked in opera, but was fine in firefox before)

OK, I’m dying laughing. This was great!

Hey hotforwords. I would like to know where the word [word] comes from. It would really be intresting to know!

And btw, i like your videos very much!

dear hot for words; EVERYONE in america seems to say [yep]. instead of yes or ok. before that it was [yup]. used in many old cowboy movies. are they real words with roots, or just lazy tongue sounds? COOKIE MONSTER EPIPHANY -new member!

Hey, so I’m a curious fellow and have some weird crackpot theory on how “mist” and “mystical” are related. So, words I’m requesting are…

[mist] [mystical] [mystery]

I assume “mystical” and “mystery” are definitely related… but does “mist” have anything to do with them? (I betcha it does, not just going by similarities in spelling… xD)

Thanks! Stay awesome! :)

I’m trying to work out if the car is a Russian make. But I can’t find a Lada, Gaz, Moskvitch, Uaz, or Izh logo. So I went to the MANUFACTURERS WEBSITE :shock:

I was surprised by the comparison of a beautiful woman to a peach; then saw the following in the dictionary: one resembling a peach (as in sweetness, beauty, or excellence).

I don’t particularly like peaches, and so I do not relate to the comparison.

But I am glad the comparison is not related to the shape of the fruit — here’s a true story: The first time I saw a peach fruit it was not a real fruit but a napkin holder made to look like a peach fruits (and plums). Since I had never seen a real peach or a real plum I did not know what the napkin holder was shaped after — the only think I could think of in the real world that somewhat resembled it was a man’s bag! But the store was a up-scale store that would not be carrying such an item; so I asked the person I was with; and was told that they were made after peaches and plums. By the way, the artist who designed those napkin holders had exaggerated the half-circular crease in these fruits. One more point: I do not remember how they functioned to hold a napkin; they may have just been decorative items to place at each setting in a dining table.

Isn’t there a modern looking truck in the upper right?

Marina, with some of these words I’m seeing now and that are coming up, maybe it would be better to do character requests rather than word requests.

Here are just a few:

[beach babe] – had to suggest, sorry :smile:
[casino poker player] and [lounge act] – Vegas on the brain here
[fitness instructor] – you spend enough time at the gym
[restaurant connoisseur]
[computer geek]

and I hope Gorby doesn’t mind:

[veterinarian]

[Things aren't always as they seem] Just wanted to know the origin

Marina,

In most of the video, the way you show flashing glimpses of the customer is the way an unfocused, sleazy (perhaps sleepy or high) person, such as that salesman, would see reality. So we are seeing the customer the way the salesman sees the customer. It is only for a few seconds around 0:40 that we get to see the customer as a normal person would.

The photo-clicking snap-shots of the car is the customer taking a look at the car the salesman is trying to sell and making a quick estimate of it. (Video can be improved by focusing snap-shots on obvious defects such as broken head-light, broken door handle, missing corner-triangular-glass in door, hanging license plate.)

So in almost all of this video you have taken us into the soul of an oleaginous person and shown us the fleeting glimpses of reality he has, the words he utters, the things he seeks and they way he seeks them. But we the viewers do not get sullied by entering his soul — we share the clean soul of the customer and we share the customer’s condemnation of the oleaginous soul.

–Hs4Mm

I think you are to hot for words. I have a word for you. [denigrate]. Please help me understand this word

Thank You

Jeffrey

[ Origin of surfing words (techniques) demoed by Gidget ]

I think I’ve found the car – but its a German Opal… I think. Or the Moskvich 400.

I think the car in the video is American: it is 2-door, is sleek/streamlined (presents a V-shape to the wind), wide side-board. Reminds me of the car Biff (? the bad guy) drives in Back to the Future even though the car in the move is open (convertible).

Marina, could you please go further into the origin of oleaginous, particularly with reference to “like an olive”?
Wouldn’t “like an olive” be “olivaceous” or do they both come from the same root and are interchangeable?

Sorry to butt into a question you asked Marina, but: she is saying “oily and slick” like an olive is “oily and slick”; but, based on text in video at 0:55, the word oleaginous comes from a Latin word meaning “of the olive” or “belonging to the family/race of olives” — genus in Latin meaning race/kind/stock.

@CK, dunno. :/

lol, too cute! :lol: :lol: :lol:

What I was referring to above does not exist any more; now there is a picture (which may or may not be a still from the video) which acts as a strong teaser. This image and the YouTube title Butter me up! complement each other to strengthen the tease. (The image has the ass looking at the customer!)

o·le·ag·i·nous (l-j-ns)
adj.
1. Of or relating to oil.
2. Falsely or smugly earnest; unctuous: oleaginous flattery. See Synonyms at unctuous.

——————————————————————————–

[From Middle English oliaginose and from French oléagineux (from Old French), both from Latin oleginus, of the olive tree, from olea, olive tree, alteration (influenced by oleum, olive oil) of olva; see olive.]

Adj. 1. oleaginous – unpleasantly and excessively suave or ingratiating in manner or speech; “buttery praise”; “gave him a fulsome introduction”; “an oily sycophantic press agent”; “oleaginous hypocrisy”; “smarmy self-importance”; “the unctuous Uriah Heep”; “soapy compliments”
buttery, fulsome, smarmy, unctuous, soapy, oily
insincere – lacking sincerity; “a charming but thoroughly insincere woman”; “their praise was extravagant and insincere”

Update: I investigated what you said about Bush,
and here are the facts. Bush authorized (not commissioned)
Homeland Security to perform ongoing terrorist threat assessments (period). There were no other specifics attached to, or associated with this authority.
It turns out to be not in the manner implied by you at all.
You owe me an apology,
and a banana :mrgreen:

surfs up :roll:

Marina
… Did you compose the music (harmonica) for this video?

Wow… your acting IS… horrible. :mrgreen:

According to the Oxford English Dictionary, oleaginous comes to us via Old French “oléagineux” from Latin “oleaginus=oily” from “oleum (masculin {or is it neuter?})=oil”, whereas Latin for the Olive is “oliva (feminine)” and the Olive tree is “olea (also feminine)”.
Oleum may derive from Olea, which is why I asked, but in that case what word did the Romans use for other oils, for example those derived from fish/whales or whatever?
Still looking forward to an answer from “Olova”. :lol:

Harmonica? I thought it was an accordion/bandoneon/concertina…

SO WHY CANT I BE A PARTNER THEN ASSHOLES!

Hi Marina, :smile:

Well, the Contact page says that this is the best way to reach you, but I feel like I’m inserting something [non-sequitur] to the lesson… :oops:

I have been a student here now for only about a week, and have had a chance to look around the site and view a number of lessons here and on YouTube.

What brought me here was viewing you on The O’Reilly Factor last week – I’d seen you before on the show and always enjoyed the appearances – this time I decided to go and actually see you at your [Craft].

Marina, what you have done here is simply BRILLIANT. Informative, Fun, Entertaining…

You have created a specialty for yourself that will never be duplicated by someone else, because it is [unique] to your talents – Educationally, Stylistically, Visually – your personality is very engaging, you have great comedic instincts, and you seem to be a very genuine, sweet, and decent person. I’d go so far as to call you the ‘Anti – Paris Hilton’! :wink:

No wonder you have so many [devoted] and [ardent] Students!

I think that what you are doing is [significant], and can take you a very long way – perhaps for the rest of your life if you want it to.

Yes, Intelligence is Sexy – and you have made yourself the [Poster Girl] for that idea.

I’d like to give you my perspective as a new Fan, seeing your situation, and reading around the Website…

1. I see your body of videos and what you have been doing as creating and compiling a ‘Video Dictionary’ – and you make [chut-chut] [(phonetic spelling)] money when someone looks up a word! (and clicks an Ad I guess…) As you expand your word definitions, you add to the Dictionary – and that book will be of interest to people for years and years – I suspect long after you are gone. Keep this in mind! I much prefer watching you to pouring through the OED – and I know many others feel the same.

2. Your main concentration so far has seemed to be in general interest definitions and idioms for a ‘younger’ audience – both entertaining and interesting – 195 Million views is [nothing to sneeze at]!

3. In reading the posts here on the changes in YouTube’s ranking methods – I see clearly that your [analysis] suggests the [solution]. EVERYONE in cyberspace is trying to [solve] the problem on how to get people to their content. Most everyone knows that your ranking on search engines goes up the more you are linked from someone else’s site.

4. I can think of NO ONE who is in a better position to be permanently linked to Thousands of MAINSTREAM websites than YOU, Marushka! Forget getting 195 million hits – How about BILLIONS (I’m Ochen Seriousna – more Phonetic spelling) from people who know nothing about you yet. Am I getting your attention? :idea:

5. I found you by seeing you on O’Reilly. You may not have realised this yet, but you are fast transitioning from an ‘Internet Celebrity’ to a ‘MAINSTREAM Celebrity’. Your Channel’s content is of Mainstream interest also – far beyond your existing student base that has brought you this far.

6. Your videos are on YouTube, and people can embed a link to any of your Words for Free. Every online newspaper in the Country (maybe the World) is looking for interesting material for their readers. How about a ‘Word of the Day’ feature that would link to one of your Videos? Made available FREE – think you might get some takers? Marina – the ‘Czarina’ of Words – or ‘Marina is Hot for Words’ – depending on the publication…you’d be [sort of] a [Syndicated Feature] – without the [Syndicate]. You could just Email them a new link each day, once you have them set up. In fact, wouldn’t this be of interest to just about ANY website…?

7. Defining a commonly used word like [University] for instance, may prompt Universities to imbed that definition on their home page (with some Promotion or Suggestion). For that matter – each subject in their catalog of courses could be defined – [Calculus], [History] (Why isn’t it HERStory?), [Political Science] (How is that Science?), etc. I have jotted down another few dozen such ideas that I know would work in other areas – but this is getting so long right now – contact me if you want more…

8. I know you are thinking – ‘Hey Wait! This sounds like a lot of work to contact all these people…and I’m busy 24/7 right now – not even time for a boyfriend!’ Hmmmmm…maybe some of your Students would be willing to help out a bit…it beats cleaning erasers after class…maybe a signed copy of your upcoming book or a 2010 calendar would provide an [incentive]?

If this has been a help for you or becomes one – Do me a favor? Define about 5 words for me that I can link from my site – they’d be good on maybe hundreds of others too…

One last thing…my [opinion]…don’t make the mistake of becoming another Jenny McCarthy or Brooke Burke – you are very entertaining – but you [eclipse] their substance and message by [orders of magnitude] – nothing against them, but you don’t hear so much about them anymore – I expect to be hearing about you for many years to come, and will be [disappointed] if I don’t!

Jody :smile:

plonker

buggery

:grin: Hi there Karl and thanks :!: I put HFW related artwork up at least twice a week and then take it down before Marina has a chance to sue me for copywrite infringement. :lol: just funning

I’d like to request the word [set]. When a word has so many definitions (nearly 100 on Dictionary.com), it had to have many different origins for the many types of meanings, right? I have heard it said that the word [set] has the most meanings of any word in the English language. True?

Love your site, Marina!

Thanks!

I don’t always look at the video, usually while the video is playing I’m scrolling down the comment page, so I missed the text segments.

Crikey! I disappear for a couple of weeks (Real Life Syndrome, followed by a holiday) then return to discover:
* Marina having fun with chromakey – and costumes / characters
* Marina on Twitter

Whatever next?!
How about resurrecting the “sister” in-joke? :)

Very well done!

Hi Marina -

I saw you on O’Reilly and you’re fabulous! You do a very nice, classy job and have fun at the same time. I’d like to request the proper usage and definition of the word [secular]. It is used quite often in the press these days and I’m certain that it is being used incorrectly. Please clarify this for me.

Many thanks and best wishes!

:mrgreen: I suppose the man is still alive. Here’s a Cal Worthington slogan you may remember:
Cal Worthington will eat a bug to make a deal

& a spoof on huckster salesman

Marina,

After this video finishes, it shows the a still image of the salesman. How about making the last image this photo of the customer as she walks among parked cars? The changes (her sleeves have disappeared, she has raised her top to reveal jean-hot-pants, she is in a city rather than in the out-skirts, and the weather has changed again) just mean that this is a later time when she has purchased a car from someone else and is continuing her life.

–Hs4Mm

Hey Marina: I haven’t been here in months and decided to stop by. What a hilarious video. Now I remember why I use to spend so much time here. LOLOLOL

This origin request for wench doesn’t really interest me, but its meaning has evolved by going down-hill via association: [wench: noun meaning young girl -> maid servant (perhaps because many young girls one commonly encountered were servants?) -> mistress/prostitute (perhaps because the lord did it with the maid servant?); then also a verb meaning f'ing]

Wow. Color me [flummoxed]. Who’d have thunk you could play Patty Duke? Of course, we all know Buster Keaton did the original multi-image film-montage when he appeared onstage beside several other versions of himself simultaneously in the 1920s. [Nonetheless], you are truly astounding, my teacher! Thanks for yet another excellent lesson. Nice ass, btw.

Happy tax day, geronimo. Nice to see you made it through another year.

Haha “nice ass!” and suddenly a donkey appears.

Mm-hmmm. Right.

Y’know, I have a theory about the origin of [BIKINI].

Yes I only owe those jerks $8,800. In case you missed it, that “only” was sarcasm! :lol:

What made you think of Patty Duke? What’s the connection between her and this video? (I have seen Patty Duke in The Miracle Worker, the movie about Helen Keller.) TIA

Gumball is a word not listed
I will call you “Tiny Bubbles”

Alright, you cats have got to check this out. From “Britains’s Got Talent,” (the parent show of “American Idol”), this middle-aged, never-been-kissed, lives with her cat Pebbles, Scottish chick walks onto the stage. Everyone was rolling their eyes :roll: and smirking at the thought of this gal being “as big as Elaine Paige.” And then, she sang. :cool:

Hola Marina:

Hey I’m a huge fan or Trance Music and the Dj’s often use the word [essential] for some of their mixes can you help me out on the origin of the word.

thanks.

It seems to me to be fairly close to “smarmy”. Also “unctuous” which seems to have a similar etymology.

Funny. You made me laugh, Marina. And nice dress, too. (Really nice dress, if I’m not being too oleamargarineous)

Great video entertaining, and educational too. :lol:

I’ve known too many oleaginous people.

Oleaginous

I guess that would be me then :???:

Sorry – I was off on the views by 20 Million :oops: Guess we’ll just have to wait a week or two! :smile:

Thanks Freebird! :grin:

And take a look at the license plate.

Yes, CK is right. I had noticed the license plate but assumed it was unreadable. However, it can be sort-of deciphered in the close-up at 0:18 — looks like 180 285 or some such thing. (The “We Finance” sign is in English, for what that is worth.)

oh my goodness! James has flipped his lid!

[SNORE]

Uh, that was a reference to the network sitcom she starred in, namely The Patty Duke Show. Had to be there I guess.

That was a magic moment when the cameras focused on the judges’ faces as she started to sing.

Well speaking of bonus how about [frugal]. I think it is a dance from 1966.

PK9 Hey can you visit the contact page and send me a “what the heck am I doing this for?” message? I have a question to ask you. :wink:

It was nice to see her have such a moment, and the astounding way her singig was received.

Amazing! It reminded me of when Paul Potts the mobile phone salesman sang Nessun Dorma. Observe Amanda Holden’s responses – Magical!

It’s a shame her vaguely double-edged complements broke the spell a tad though.
“…we have a little lump of coal here, ready to turn into a diamond” :???: “.

“…a frog that will turn into a prince. ” :???:

Sometimes our mouths betray us.

PAUL POTTS SINGS NESSUN DORMA

mistake.meant to REPLY to comment. Sorry

Unfortunately, because China is such a small nation and such a rich one (like UAE) the “nomes of Nanjing” who assemble the custom lives for export only produce as many as they think the market will absorb. It’s much like Ferrari’s marketing plan. So, there are no bulk discounts and anybody who can get on the list is likely get on a “build” list and receive their life… just to “flip” their life for a profit and resell it (way above MSRP) to someone who didn’t get on the list. I would never flip my life. To me, lives are valuable. I know there are some collectors… but that’s not for me. I’m the kind of person who likes to USE a good life- not just polish it in the basement or bedroom.

Ooops. Sorry, meant to start a new thread. :shock:

I didn’t know stimulus packages came in yellow. :lol:

What on earth are you talking about?

Politicians! :mrgreen:

Do I know anyone that is oleaginous? Yes. The person I am thinking of was a used car salesman in Berlin trying to sell me a Trabant.

Dear Marina, does the word [Gringo] originate from the Alamo? When the Mexican army outside heard a few men inside the Alamo singing a song, “Green Grow the Rashes, O” (Robert Burns) maybe then they started using “gringo” for U.S. people?

The “fruge” was a dance but frugal is just a Scottish person.

I’m feeling a bit oleaginous, so I think I’ll take a shower . . . or roll in the mud.

Is that true? Amazing :shock:

Seems there is an easy and standard way to send it out…RSS (Really Simple Syndication)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSS_(file_format)

Yes that is the only reason. Are you implying that I would be here because of some unsavory reasons? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

“Syndication” is a business term. For example, people who create comics, puzzles etc. would sign an agreement with a “distribution company” such as UClick ( http://www.uclick.com/ ) or King Features ( http://www.kingfeatures.com/ ). The syndication company then sells the items to consumer outlets such as newspapers and magazines. It takes a long time (six weeks?) after a comic has been submitted to a syndication before it actually appears in a newspaper — so, say, a puzzle with a Christmas theme has to be finished a long time before Christmas.

Just one example of an arrangement with a syndication company: The creator has to keep providing items to the syndication company every week, say 12 items each week; of these 12, 7 might appear one item per day six weeks from now. The creator can offer the un-used 5 items for sale to other outlets.

This book Your Career In The Comics by Lee Nordling has a few good reviews, but I am not sure if it is really a good book.

Nice thoughts, Jody.

Perhaps you’d like to post a copy of this in the Forums, where I have created a thread about–well, actually I’ll do it now since I’m logged on and all–anyway, I created a [Brainstorm] thread in the forums for those who want to help Marina amplify herself all the more. Not that the thread has any action, damn it, but it should and so I hope you don’t mind my securing a copy of your ideas here.

later bra

I would like to request the word [manager]

Ye’ll never take me alive, ye scurvy scalawag (I’m already dead)!

Thanks for the explanation! Now, how about [joke] and [ humor] and [humoral humor] if it isn’t too jucy. Then, why is a barber’s pole red and white stripes? Because the barber could bleed away your [bad humors]. Melancholy Humor, oh no!!!! :lol:

To add to 88.3.3.1:

(1) The syndication of “videolets” would be entirely different from what happens in and the working of the existing syndication industry for comics/puzzles etc. And syndicating videolets is innovative.

(2) People have contemplated “product placement” in comics to generate revenue — but the potential revenue in videolets is much more than in comics/puzzles because of the opportunity to insert non-obtrusive ads.

(3) Lots of things have words (games for kids (even ones with just voice and image), news reports etc. etc.) — thereby there are zillions of locations which can be made clickable to pop-up a videolet on the word.

To complete the thought in (3) above: the company doing the syndication of comics/puzzles has a few clearly defined outlets for the comics/puzzles; in contrast, the company that would syndicate videolets on word-origins has lots of un-charted outlets for the videolets.

I have no doubt those are real words. But did you use them correctly. . . :?:

Hi Marina
Loved the video. I wouldn’t mind buying the car.I think it is a 1937 Chevy. Well anyway, keep up the good work,I had a good laugh. :smile:

Marina,

Thanks to you, my vocabulary is growing by leaps and bounds. Do you know where the phrase “leaps and bounds” comes from?

-Eric Chicago

no doubt…
find out what they mean, and have yourself a laugh (as intended) :-)

Now your talkin’!

Exactly, Exactly…but notice I said Syndicating without the Syndicate…I think she can probably do it directly without a [Middle-Man]…another thing I admire about her is that she has created all of this with nothing but the tools she had to hand – herself, her intellect, humour, and looks! Outstanding and very worthy of support…

Marina, if you are keeping track – your students may have this all worked out for you in a few days to submit for your review and approval! :lol:

I suggest maybe starting a Script for [WebMaster] (one group you will need to reach to make this a success) – (Hint) – review some clips of ‘I Dream of Jeanie’ on YouTube or AOL video…that show is classic and very mainstream around the world…You’d make a perfect Jeanie if you like the Character ([Homage] to Barbara Eden) – and she always called Larry Hagman ‘Master’ – might be a nice theme for the definition…and get those ‘Masters’ excited to help you! :grin:

What do you guys think?

Thx Jeorney. I hadn’t seen that one, either. I am not an opera fan, but Holey Smokes! These two simply take my breath away. Music has the ability to touch the soul, perhaps just a taste of God upon us. These two show what true talent is. Simply glorious. :grin:

Darn! You’re too quick for me. :wink:

That’s great!

Just trying – like you, to [gen up] some Help for Marina!

Thanks

Or my dad

I felt a disturbance in the force… and I knew that the page is about to change, also since I made the 40th comment I had a good hint of what was going to happen. :-)
The ways of the Jedi linger. :D

PT9, wuddup, nizzle? I ain’t talk 2 u in long time! Hujambo!

Every time I see marina acting as these over-the-top characters, I think she is missing out on a great side-career as a comedienne. I would really like to see her playing multiple parts in some future comeback movie with Cheech and Chong. When she does the Latino accent on top of her natural Russian accent, it just doubles me up!

-Rock

HEY I’M BACK! missed me??
I still want you to do the word masterbate marina! haha

I think that might be my alltime favorite TV clip ever.

Did you notice how cool and self-contained she was throughout the whole performance?

Hey Marina,

Very funny impression of the car salesman.I was introduced to you not very long ago on of all things the O’reilly factor. and I’ve been checking out your lessons. I was going to suggest the word “floccinaucinihilipilification” but of course you’ve already covered it. Then I saw the lesson for AK-47,what would really be hot is if there’s footage of you firing that rifle and blowing things up! but it was still a very cool lesson. I was going to suggest maybe you can present a segment on the(Beretta 92 Pistol). I don’t know it’s just a suggestion. Anyways take care sweetie and keep up the good work! Fro

Nice one Karl!

But I also wish you had one! You deserve it, come on! I can imagine you and your burrito, looking at each other.. I mean, more like you looking at the burrito in its plate on the table (because burritos don’t have eyes of course), a little greasy (the burrito), all ready to be consumed.

For some strange reason, that ass makes me think about a roman novel. But it’s only because I have been through a different associative learning (all very random, wild, disordinate and careless) process than yourself. Anyways.. The important stuff is to associate ideas, right? To pop’em like creazy just like we see ‘em comin’. At least the ass doesn’t make you think about the void, a black hole or anything like that. It makes you think of a burrito, which proves that you are a very intelligent person, absolutely capable to pop innovative ideas as soon as you see them coming!

Keep it up! You’re on your way to make big fat $$$$$$$$!!!

:lol:

Hey! I think this is the first time I’ve had one of my word requests seconded, and on the same lesson. Fascinating!

On a sidenote, whenever I log in to leave a reply or comment, I usually have to reload the page after logging in so that the ‘submit comment’ box shows up. But, on occasion, it automatically shows up sometimes after I log in, without a reload. Anybody else encounter this? It’d be nice if it automatically went to the ‘submit comment’ box without any reloading of the page. Thanks in advance to whomever can address/fix this.

Peace, Errin : )

I know this is a crazy idea, but sometimes I think about this entire website as a gigantic.. well, let’s not exagerate. As an enoooormous banana! :shock:

Some people have trouble with Internet Explorer. If you are using, you may want to try firefox. Most people seem to prefer FF to IE with this web page.

 
Hey errin, how’s things going?
Loved reading your comments recently about the oleaginous video, etc.

errin, yes, the page reload issue is experienced by most everyone I think and more so some than others depending on what the status of their login and HFW cookies are.

The HFW site has this problem and
the Forum sub-site does not have that problem.

For Marina, I believe this problem dates back to mid 2008 when you changed something regarding the settings of the cookies. If I remember correctly, it had to do with increasing the security of this site by changing the cookies expiration. Since then, the cookies expiration is such that when one logs off and then back again some time later, the cookies are not refreshed until the user reloads the page.

So, it may be a bug or a server setting?

How company policies are made. On the subject of caged monkeys and a single, decently sized banana.

MARINA, YOU ARE SO PRETTY! I never miss a video and I learn so much from them. My name is Brent and I would like to request a word of the day. I’m into fitness and [anabolic] means the building of muscle. Can you please tell me how this word came about? Yours truly…Bodacious Brent.

I love your shows and you do a great job. Forget all those who say bad things about you. I request a word and it is [ Anishnawbe ] the word means ‘first people’ and would like the history of the word. thank you very much. :) BY the way you are very beautiful @;-

Marina, Looks like you filled out some since your hiccup video

most people assume the fights are going to be the left versus the right, but it is always the reasonable versus the jerks. jimmy wales.

Chacha, I can respond to you by keeping my remarks confined to language and word usage, an approach most appropriate to the goals of marina and hfw. This is your statement, “Bush authorized (not commissioned) Homeland Security to perform ongoing terrorist threat assessments (period).” This was my statement, “that report was commissioned in july of 2008 by george w. bush’s department of homeland security.”

According to the definition of commission and authorize including references from a thesaurus the words are synonyms. The manner in which you phrased your statement conveys the same meaning as conveyed in my statement. I have stated nothing else. As such I do not think that I am obligated to provide to you an apology or a banana.

Arguing politics here on hfw seems to detract from the dialogue concerning language and words. As has been made clear with these associated comments in this thread. And I would rather contribute in a manner that is more beneficial and engaging. I encourage you to do the same

This has got to be one of your most funniest videos yet, and the impersonations show that you quite the actress.

Just keep putting your monkey face up there, that’s apology enough for me.
You show you are not man enough to admit or own your mistakes, you child.
You are still so full of it. You pose illogical arguements and are shot down, then your solution is that I should not show you are illogical. Get real! AND, you conclude only then, that this detracts from the organic flow here at the site. What a pogue…
Now you are arguing over semantic difference between two words (commission and authorize) to give pseudo-credibility to your ill-logic…
We wouldn’t even be having this discussion over the HSA memo, if you had only read it. You implied that President Bush ordered this document as written (falsely). In the document are very specific references to President Obama and the “dangers” posed to him by groups because he is African-American. How could this even be possible, when he wasn’t in office when Bush was the President???
If somebody threatens your way of life, and someone warns you about it – there may be politics involved, but you wish to bury your head in the sand. Fine – then speak only for yourself!
This warning was for everybody, not just you!
Here’s another warning for you, again, this may be political.
Carbon footprint taxes:
The government wants to tax companies based on a notionary, nonreality, non-scientific basis that carbon dioxide is a dangerous gas in our atmosphere! Ridiculous assertion from the get go, and they are serious about raising taxes using this as the reason!
The taxes will do absolutely nothing to reduce carbon doixide – it’s a natural gas – it occurs NATURALLY!!! There are people who are stupid enough to fall for this lame crap, who will approve taxing companies for this – because they don’t “feel” this will affect them.
Humans emit carbon dioxide – you emit carbon dioxide! Babies emit carbon dioxide…
What about Pepsi? Coca Cola? Champagne? Beer???
You fell for stories from these same people with regard to your arguement to me about the HSA memo, and now that you can’t back it up, you want to swat me down for knowing the truth, and exposing you as a lackey fool.
Oh, and if you really see this as a problem, you can always complain to Marina, or Captain Jack and tell them all about your problem with me.
Good luck, carry on! :mrgreen:

@buzzword
WOW! Maybe you and cha-cha need to go outside for awhile.(Greatest P and I will be on the undercard :razz: )

Hot for words you are to much that skit was great.Well there is a word ..what is the origin of the word {skit}? By the way you look like a peach.

What fight? There was a fight? Damn! I swear, every time somebody goes off-subject for more than a sentence, I fall into a peaceful slumber.

you are being unreasonable. what i said and you later restated are essentially the same thing. “that report was commissioned in july of 2008 by george w. bush’s department of homeland security.” and “bush authorized (not commissioned) homeland security to perform ongoing terrorist threat assessments” i honestly do not understand why you require an apology. nor do i understand how my brief comment warrants so much of your hostility and insults. this is really just a minor misunderstanding chacha. but in the future i will not make the mistake of angering the hfw teachers assistants.

apologies, i didn’t mean to wake the dead.

dang primates! ……zzzzZZZZZZ zzzzZZZZZZZ zzzzZZZZZZZ…..

I am being unreasonable? How dare you!
You did not read the memo, and falsely implied that President Bush was responsible for it’s content.
You have made more than one illogical error of assumption, leading to your mistaken beliefs.
You refuse to acknowledge or own your mistakes when faced with them, and do not, in your arrogance, impudence and insolence, feel no need to apologize.
Son, if you were in my face with this (in the flesh), you would be running for your life as if the road behind you was ON FIRE! It is you who are hostile and insulting, and by such provocation invite the same upon yourself. You have no honor.
The fact that I am a TA, and you are not, is of no consequence – but that which you make of it as an excuse for your inability to own up to the things you have said. It most certainly was of no consequence when you began this, and you had full knowledge and awareness of it then. Your use of this as an alibi makes you out to be a coward.
Don’t apologize, go ahead – be that way – a proud, haughty coward. Shame on you, and those who spawned and educated you.

That was one of the funniest videos ever! I just cracked up! Love your show.
I never thought I was interested in word origins, but you make learning interesting! Thanks!!!

Other oleaginous people? How about vacuum cleaner salesmen, life insurance salesmen, stock promoters… seems sales is a common denominator for this kind of person… people who have to “butter you up” to get something you have. “VERY CHEESEY!!!”

Marina, is it right for you as a teacher to use cacology on twitter?

Just wondering.

Oh you do? I have a good friend that owns http://www.bikini-beach.com store here in Kirkland. We have had such discussions. Do tell. Oh wait. Hot babe just entered the store. Got to go… :P

:mrgreen: The good Captain is on it :!:

The car in the video is a mid-40′s american made. I’m thinking Plymouth. Need to look at the emblem on the hood.
The car in the movie is a Delorean. American made(for about 2 years)

Buenas tarde Marina! I came across this brief lesson of the Nahuatl language of the Mexica. It’s suppose to consist of most of the native tongues in US southwest and in Mexico. I figured since to some this language is a dead one such as Latin it may interest you. So enjoy! :smile:

:lol: Right, that’s a Delorean. sniff…

woops! here is the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOUSiULIJp4 :wink:

beevee14 (77.1.1.1.2) and greatestpotential (77.1.1.1.3): Re-read 77.1.1.1 — I was NOT referring to the Delorean.

my bad :sad:

Oleaginous best since first discovering earlier this week with your video HotForWednesday on a YouTube link, still a favorite, second now to this top performance; God bless; keep-up the good work. James

Hi hs4mm,

:oops: Excuse me. I should have been more specific. I meant to say the Delorean is the time travel vehicle featured in Back to the Future movies.

@beevee14

Delorean DMC-12 :arrow:

Quantum mechanics conversations can be confusing :???: Is Biff Tannen talking to himself here :?: :arrow:

Marina do you like cooking ? Maybe my question is a little bit oleaginous !!!

Marina as a man…. My god…. Still hot enough to ….. turn the straights gay :smile:

Nice ass. I LOVE IT! :mrgreen:

:lol:
Three years I attempted to slime my way as a New/ Used car salesman, all those silk yellow ties, silver surfing swept back immaculate combed hair with lots of tacky jingle jangle that made Mr-T look bald!! But it was more the phrases used by my fellow greezers that made me shiver head to foot. One used a line from a TV show, “Selling a car is like making luuurve to a beautiful woman!” – but he believed it!!! Loved the products and meeting people but couldn’t hack the environment as way too shallow for moi.

Your character was hilarious M. In the UK you may find more like those in Essex, known for the mile long wall to wall car show rooms of greezers, nah wot i mean innit!! Peachy princess, stay bootiful:lol:

Since I made the mistake of giving the impression that I even remotely enjoy seeing Gidget, I want to disclaim explicitly that I do not enjoy seeing that “dumb blond” character.

To get ideas for any video involving beach/surfing, I would recommend seeing see the movie Blue Hawaii; here are some scenes of the King in the Blue Hawaii. And this movie has a very nice story too — so it is worth watching even if one is not looking for ideas!

:smile: I eat olives :grin: …The Asteroids Galaxy Tour – Lady Jesus live @ Molotow… saw a picture of this band with hat like yours… neat band…good job Marina, keep UP the good work :lol:

Ma’am,
Thank you so much for being a teacher of words. I love your teaching methods and I so very pleased to have a wonderfulteacher as you are–Thank you again ma’am. By far you are one of my most beautiful teachers ever. I wish you much success ma’am.

Take care ma’am

That was the funniest thing that i have seen in a looooong time!

Marina swings…….and it’s a home run!!!!

you’re a good teacher for those hot or difficult words, but we have you to understand everything and understand it with simple words.
i’m completely sure that you are the best :wink:

test  …On Wisconsin (1909) Played by Prince’s Band ….The song, “On, Wisconsin”, words not attributed and music by William T. Purdy, was adopted as the official state song of Wisconsin on July 11, 1959. Governor Gaylord Nelson signed the legislation. The song that John Philip Sousa called “the finest of college marching songs” was finally made. This Columbia record (A1762) is played for you full length on a Victor Talking Machine portable Orthophonic Victrola…………….   where is my butter?    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On,_Wisconsin!
