Poindexter

ah ha

YO

Characterizations of Poindexter from around 1960 (not sure if I should mention the newer version): Felix The Cat (1958-1961) Felix baby sits.

Can you please explain where the term [I'm in charge] comes from?

Where’s the video?

FUN…Diction Girl…is fast; I’m a cat of NARD…love for ALL

Awesome video lesson Marina!!!
Loved the nerd girl and the voice.

Hilarious video, well worth the wait :!:

You clearly put a lot of time and effort into this one, Marina. Thank you. You really rock!

Always.

hey Hotforwords, i was wondering what the origin of the term 420 is.
i think u made a video of this word a while back but i was wondering why 420 is a holiday to some people for smoking Marijuana. Is there any specific reason? y “420″?? i heard it is called 420 because when cops find kids smoking pot or find a party with weed they call it a 420. i would appreciate it if u made a video of this word. i always wanted to know y its called 420
thanks in advance

Charge or be charred…all who are hags :lol: the one who cooks the fish is in charge..smoked

:smile: angrypunkbronxkid—may your day be GooD

Well done, excellent characterization — both content/script and portrayal — but not my cup of tea; I don’t like care for silliness.

Marina,

…Here is Poindexter http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJrR66_nOLo

You are so cool sometimes

Zach from NEW YORK….$420.oo…you should look up old lessons..Bees are Good and Soul should U :razz: and awl B’s..peace out of pie???

 
As you mentioned zjacobshrtshfw, Marina did do a video on “420″ in the form of a Guess The Word Game.

The 420 Game is here.

The 420 Answer is here.

“She’s just all cleavage and no substance.”

“Snort-Snort”

Your self-deprecating humor – it’s so endearing – God I can’t stop laughing…

I have actually seen a professor who bent his head and moved his hand in front of it the way you do at about 0:19 (“not definitions”) :lol: (lol)

Anyway, the entire portrayal is very realistic! But just not my cup of tea — by which I mean, for example, I cannot watch this video many times; almost all of the the other videos I can watch again and again and again ad infinitum — and with increasing enjoyment on each successive viewing.

 
Do I know any poindexters? Errm, hmmm, maybe a few :lol:

I loved how you held on to that Kindle. Awesome. :wink:

I have a feeling we are going to see more of DictionaryGirl as soon as that kicks in?

Got me stumped on the “excess tuna” expression, but it should hit me any minute now.

Marina also did a written Q/A for Ask Men magazine, and one of the Q/A was about 420. Those Q/A are excellently written — I actually enjoy reading those Q/A even more than watching a video!

“Give fish” vs “teach a man to fish”: See link “Blogs” above -> Index of all posts -> search for “ask men”.

No I can’t say I know any “poindexters” since I like to keep to myself.

Yes, I know a “poindexter” and this one could also be a word to look up. Let’s go in the “Wayback Machine” and visit Mr. [Peabody]!

Here he is (the dog):

http://www.timetravelreviews.com/images/television/peabody.jpg

yes, but what was the kid’s name??

The person who asked for the definition.

Thanks hs4mm. That is so funny.
I meant to go back to the beginning to see who made the request and it hadn’t registered yet. :lol:

Picante, Caliente – Why don’t the English language have two different words to distinguish between spicy hot & hot to touch.

So is hotforwords spicy or too hot to touch?

Dear Marina,
I don’t know any Poindexters and I’ve never used that word. I enjoyed your squirrel (belka) voice. You are beautiful in both costumes you wore.

Word request: [R.S.V.P]
My information (or misinformation) is that the royal families of Russia spoke French to each other, instead of the “common languages” of the masses. So they used the abbreviation R.S.V.P., which was French for “please respond.” Soon, R.S.V.P. was used in invitations in countries around the world, even here, where hardly anyone speaks French. :smile:

Since you might handle social events for Internet business, I need to ask how you use R.S.V.P.
1. If someone does not R.S.V.P. but shows up anyway, do you accept them?
2. If a guest does R.S.V.P but fails to appear, do you contact them later?

(Of course, I would not dare to fail to respond and never would fail to show up for an R.S.V.P. from you, Marina.) :razz:

:lol: Marina :cool:
Great job real poindexter voice :lol:
:cool: B.B. :mrgreen:

Marina is very hot, as in picante. If she were too hot to touch, it would make me very sad.

Just a little while ago there was an Ad up above that said “Marina Dating”. I thought that was so funny; “Meet women in Marina”. Did I click? Of course! :grin:

For those of you not familiar with web Ads, I’m sure Marina does not mind if you click on the ads. I’m sure it would be highly appreciated. I try to click on all of the ads and find out what they are about. :cool:

I would like to know the origin of the word [dance]

:???: Please forward this error screen to quad.hotforwords.com’s WebMaster…Hello pendanticKarl… :lol: any help :?:

I knew of one Poindexter. He was an intelligent guy who spoke in a very dull, plodding and monotone. He completely lacked any intonation or musicality in his voice. Even though he spoke of interesting things, listening to him had a very soporific effect, causing the listener to ZZZZzzzzz. Avoid when driving.

Could you show us the origin of the word bicycle??, here you are something related with bicycle races:

That Civony game is fucking ridiculous. It freezes up often and it sometimes takes 5 to 45 minutes to log back on without any explanation for it. Last night a glitch affected all 3 servers that it seemed nobody could log in for 3 hours! And I can’t log in right now.
They really need to fix the damn bugs in that game! :mad:

finally a new vid

Very cute video. :grin: Loved the poindexter character! :smile: While I’m here, I might as well request the origin of “insomnia.” Or better yet, a cure?

Marina,

You are sooooo funny! Yes, I knew a “poindexter”. He was picked on for not being “with it”… later he started tipping the vodka bottle into his hatch… “kinda went sideways”… started dropping pills… went from “square root of pi squared equals pi to… a pie-eyed, yippie-eye-yeh doofus! SAD. :shock: :sad:

Next thing you know… Marina is going to be on Saturday Night Live… doin’ skits! :lol: :lol:

Hi clym! I’m having problems getting tired too. My inner clock is up the spout.

If you have stairs at your place… go up and down them as many times as you can while balancing a wok lid on your head. This will make you tired… for sure! :razz:

Hello my Dear Teacher.

You should tell us where the word [skinny] comes from. You touched on it in your lesson on the skinny dipping, but you didn’t tell how came to mean thin. I mean come on, if someone has a lot of skin, thin there arn’t skinny.

Oh, And I know a poindexter. I am one, but my buddy Matt is much worse. He was tired of being a little nerdy he joined the US Marines. Actually, their is movie of his life coming out shortly.

Any idea what the film Marina watched is about? The indie film called “Dim Sum Funeral” with an actress called Bai Ling, who Marina met or partying with.

WORD REQUEST: [ dilettantism ]

I would like to know the origin of the word [Easter]? How did Easter Island get it’s name and how the word is related to the holiday?

When writing a chemical equation which requires an excessive amount of some reagent for the reaction being depicted to take place, one writes “xs” next to that reagent.

Any one ever play this game

Marina I was just looking at your [Hacker] video. You saying the word change in the 1960′s when people started hack computers is incorrect! People started to hack telephone lines before computers. Like free long distance. It became such a culture, there were clubs started!

:mrgreen:

Marina, you are so cute I could just eat you up! :wink:
I confess, I was a Poindexter, at least according to the other kids. (Never taped my glasses together, though. Not when I was in school.)
I also confess, I am a Marinaholic. One video is too much and a thousand not enough.

http://www.hotforwords.com/dictionarygirl/

Hey Don’t for get your coat

So, to ready yourself for bed, you are suggesting that one take a wok? :grin:

Hi germi,
What Marina is saying is that the word hacker did not come into use until the 1960s, not that hacking activities didn’t exist prior to that. They did, but were not called hacking prior to 1960s.

Ref:
Hacker from Online Etymology Dictionary

“… at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (however an MIT student from the late 1960s recalls hack (n.) being used then and there in the general sense of “creative prank… ”

That video was so great! I loved it!!!!!! :lol:
You are excelling at you video productions by leaps and bounds! :cool:
Thats the same outfit your wore on O’Reilly, isn’t it? …minus the tie!
I say functionality is always the key element to the perfect outfit. :mrgreen:

Another wonderful video.

I’ve known quite a few poindexters in my time.

The snort is killing me!! :lol: :lol:
Ms. Poindexter-ella is so funny!

I know 1 fictional poindexter-Steve Urkel

Hi PD, that snort kills me.
What slays me, at the very beginning, is; “I like to keep the plastic on my Kindle to keep it nice”. Now, I’m looking for stuff to put in plastic to keep it nice. :lol:

hahahaha!!!! this video is so funny!!!! :mrgreen: your voice!!!! hahahaaaah
you should add more funny things to your videos , like tealling a joke at the end of a video.

like this one:

What does a green grape and a lemon have in common?
:lol: that non of them can make watermelon juce :lol:

(i know, this joke is so stupid hahhahah but is funny hahaha)

I loved that Marina!! You had some esscence of the old lessons I there.. *****(**)

Good Night Marina

o.k

This video was a brilliant impersonation of this Poindexter; the character Abby, the forensic lab-rat in NCIS.
I suspect this is the character that Marina modelled her Dictionary girl on, as many of the mannerisms and gestures are remarkably similar.

Sherman.

Amazing.
Fully prepared business woman.
But you could have had an easter egg waiting for us.

I love how you did this video.

While laying in bed, make your bottom jaw loose and relaxed. Once that happens, everything else will follow. It sounds simple (the best ones usually are) but if you can get your jaw loose and relaxed, you have more than half the battle won. Then, do the old lying in a field of grass thing. You know, early june, light SW breeze about 75 degrees…. :cool:

Try the jaw thing, hopefully you’ll be surprised. :idea:

I remember an occasion when Marina appeared on The O’Reilly Factor, and at the end Bill rhetorically asked, “How can you help but to love her?” He is right! Easy on the eyes, and wonderfully entertaining.

The best and [SOUL] funny… :razz: :lol:

I would like to request this word and please do it! lol [Cunninlinguist] this is a good word :-)

I know this comment has nothing to do with a poindexter but I just heard this song for the first in about 20 years and started dancing in my chair. I’ve seen these guys in the past and I can say their just as tight on stage as they are in the studio.

If one wants to forward a link to one your lessons, is it better to forward the link to the lesson on HFW or to the lesson on YouTube?

Personally, I prefer forwarding the link to the lesson on HFW.

BOOGITY BOOGITY BOOGITY! IT’S ‘DEGA!

I “googled” wok lids for insomniacs… and got this site…
http://happyhomemaker88.wordpress.com

and after reading some Chinese food recipes,

category/recipes/chinese-food/page/2/, I found…

“1/4 cup dried longans (good for inducing restful sleep, for insomniacs)”

P.S. longans are also called dragon’s eyes and are related to the lychee nut.

Hope this helps… the woklidsforinsomniacs.com site must have gone out of business? :grin: :shock: :sad:

LOL. Thank you for investigating!

I’m going to try this tonight! Thanks! :smile:

I would like to know the origin of the usage of the word monkey wrench. I think they are refering to pipe wrenches but also think it applies to other tools. Thanks Marina.

when one has children there isn’t any cure for sleeplessness. the days are long and the years are short.

LOL, Marina. You are very talented as a comedic actress, and have a very dynamic, colorful personality. So cool to see you exploring that side of you and incorporating it into your HotForWords lessons. Intelligence is not the only thing that is sexy about you… being willing to go out on a creative limb in front of such a large fanbase is very sexy. There is always some risk to putting one’s self out there comedically, so it is very bold of you to give it a shot, and even bolder for you to pull it off so well. Right on, teach! Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to go troll dictionarygirl.com… :twisted:

Peace, Errin : )

I think you are supposed to put brackets around the word you request so Marina can notice it better. As in [monkey wrench].

[shenanigan]

No truer words have ever been spoken! (written?) :mrgreen:

Hard to believe no serious injuries. Especially for Edwards or Newman. I wouldn’t be surprised to find out some fans suffered some minor injuries there at that area of the catch fence.

Yes, I do know a few Poindexters. Now that I think about it, my social skills are not all that great, but I am nowhere near smart enough to be a Poindexter.

Riiiiiiiiiiight!
Abby, of course. :-)

Dear Marina,

[MOON]

Just imagine the video possibilities…

:razz: esojleugim : Some critics say this song, by Steppenwolf – “Born to be Wild” of 1969— gets the credit for metal rock!…nature*****)(*****and from England..Metal Guru – T.Rex…{[my index finger points]} :razz: :mrgreen: :cool:

oh, what a beautiful voice this Poindexter have ^^

I have a request for 2 words
[Artificial]
and
[Intelligence]

Eh? A link between these words? I don’t think so :roll:

Really good job, I think I’ll soon be Addicted ^^ oh… make me think [addict]^^

Existential question time:
What are social skills?
And don’t tell me they just serve communication purposes, because so does Morse code. (tribute to Mr. Morse, who’s birthday is today)

Both characters were adorable, btw! :-)

What about robbie gordon. Hes lucky to have hit the padded part or it could been like DE :sad:

BTW, the quote of the day reminds me of my favorite question/quote:

After a Wild Night :twisted:

“Where are my clothes and who are all of these people?!” :mrgreen:

Savor that time when music was really real

degrees of familiarity and conduct associated with the social rules of a population. such skill allows one to function within a culture and navigate the various social structures and forces.

Thank you DefinitionGirl! :D
But seriously, very good appreciation!
One thing unclear though… “forces”? social forces?

I’ve always wondered what the word [CALIFORNICATION] meant.
love the song though
x

society’s influence or impact upon the individual.

The only time I have ever heard this word was in the song ‘knockin at your back door’ by Deep Purple off of the album ‘Perfect Stranger’. Good song. Great intro. But I dont think its a word, though. I think he was making a play on words referring to something else. :oops:

Oh, I was thinking of something else.
Good thing I asked… Even though dogs can be pretty smart themselves sometimes, it’s a well known fact that apes are the smartest of the animal kingdom! :P

But I think dogs make for cuter pets though.
Ruff Ruff
Guff… :D

Isn’t that the truth! Until recently that was concrete. No Safer Barrier. And you saw the impact my man Mark Martin suffered on lap #7. Not fun.

:lol: hahahahahahahahaha!Looks like someone’s been polishing up on her comedy routines. But yeah, a good friend of mine’s wife comes to mind— I’ll just call her J. She knows anything and everything about ancient to modern history, the NFL, homecooking, some medical science, etc.Her social skills really aren’t that bad (on a good day).

I would like to know the origins of [adieu].

I see that choosing timely keywords in video titles truly impacts the popularity and the resultant traffic to people’s blogs and websites. That said, maybe this will change the language we use in the future.

Person selling clothing on internet…

Blog Title: Flu-free T-shirts not made in Mexico – WHO/CDC

Makes no sense… other than it increases the “apparent” possibility of someone visiting the site. Imagine this on a mass scale! :shock: :roll: :cry:

History of [wraith]

I hate to be a stickler on these matters, nevertheless I think she “snarked” instead of “snorted”.

I was a kid back in the ’50′s, and I watched the Felix cartoons, but they were the dregs. They weren’t acceptable. But, still I watched ‘em because TV is electronic heroin, and sometimes Felix the Cat was the best thing on. So, I can remember other characters in that show, such as The Master Cylinder and Rock Bottom. The acceptable cartoons were most notably, Disney’s Goofy and Donald Duck. In second place came the LooneyTunes. Then, below them was HannaBerra’s Ruff ‘n’ Reddy, HuckleBerry Hound, and Quick Draw McDraw. Still lower was the Popeye cartoons. Below them, the Crusader Rabbit cartoons. Later on, in the early 60′s came the magnificent Bullwinkle Cartoon shows.

Hey,

I live in the south, and people always use the term [dixie] as the south. Where and how did [Dixie] come about? I really appreciate it.

I have now :smile: .
It’s a biblical word according to the wiki. It could be based on a type of wood, or pitched wood, since kopher (Heb) means pitch.

You’re pulling my leg, right?

Bullwinkle was great! “Hey Rocky! Watch me pull a rabbit outta my hat… Presto!” :lol:

You make the cutest Poindexter Marina… :smile:

Hey, nice tie (I recognize it from this month’s calendar photo)!

Sounds like you found them, Che. Hot AND spicy.

Great, but do you know the name of Dudley Do-Right’s horse?

:mrgreen: You are so cute!! Let’s have more of these impersonations!! Just think about all the wacky stuff Carol Burnet did on TV years ago and you might have a new career just waiting for you. Being cute,funny,and sexy is very natural for you!!

Could it have anything to do with the Mason-Dixon Line? I guess Masie just doesn’t have the same ring to it. :grin:

Wait a minute… That’s not an English word. What are you trying to pull here? Are you Canadian or something?

It’s made up. Call M in a hundred years or so and ask if it ever became a word.

How does that explain Richard Simmons or Ozzy Osbourne?

[swagger] Courtesy of the HFW Bracketeers.

A monkey wrench has two parallel jaws that can be initially spread apart to accommodate the thing being turned, but the distance between them remains fixed as it is used. A pipe wrench’s jaws are not parallel and can move more nearly parallel as pressure is applied to the handle; it approximates the human jaw in that the distance between the jaws decreases as it bites down. It leaves ugly teeth marks on the work, but that is the tradeoff for the exceptional grip it has on pipes and other round objects not designed to be wrenched.

Monkey wrenches are rarely seen in most people’s tool collections; they’ve been replaced by the adjustable (“Crescent”) wrench or it’s modern variants. The pipe wrench is still going strong. I suspect the name’s origin is probably lost to antiquity.

Peanut butter?!? Blasphemy!!! Strawberry jam. :mrgreen:

Wow.. Lol

Ughh you knoww what i mentt soo its all goodd.

Caliifor is short for California.
Fornication is f**king.
Californians f**k up everything. They’ve f**ked up California and they move out to places like Colorado, Oregon, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, etc. They bring their ideas, values, and habits. This results in those places being Califrornicated.
The Three most feared things in the Southwest: A New Mexican with a drivers license, A Texan with a ski rack and a Californian with a U-Haul.

That Dictionary Girl though – looks like Marina…

Why don’t we ever see them together?

Review your Comic book History for a pattern Guys…I’m developing a theory…

Not sure, It might be a slang word…

Meaning:
The combination of the word cunning and linguist which defines a person who has a “gift for tongues”, specifically as applied to the art of performing oral sex on a woman.

Hi Marina, two of my favourite words are [defenestrate] and [genuflect]. Would you please tell us more about them?

i was just wondering if [universe] was made up of more than one word, it looks like this to me. But if ‘uni’ means one why is it combined with ‘verse’ meaning a line of saying?

Thanks for proving that beauty and intellect are not diametrical opposites. Your site is a great educational tool and you are truly one of the most beautiful women on the net. Please contnue your studies and ignore the bores.

I would like to request the phrase [right as rain]
Thank you

Interesting one hotrod!

Looks like universe is indeed made up of at least 2 words that one day, perchance totally randomly or by some darwinistic unexplained mutation, someone somehow sticked together. It’s linguistic evolution in the making I guess, and once the mutation is done, it’s not that easy to bail it out.

From Seneca to bumper stickers! Yes, linguistic evolution is truly obviously an unstoppable, yeah, unstoppable process.

Adieu is actually into the Oxford English dictionary.

And voilà, aha, all that glisters is not gold, and I believe this is a sufficient proof that it is indeed an English word.

I would like to request the origin of the word [harridan].
I know what it means, but how did a lady come to be called such ? :)

I would like to request the word [discombobulated]
What does it mean. Whats it origin? Thank you very much

can u look up where [dictionary] came from.i have also heard some irish people say [ye langer] and i would like to know what that is.thxs

Now that was really cute!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for the smiles…….. :grin:

Marina i would like to request the word [clone] thanks

You’ll have to ask JKR about that one. Send her a SASE and a couple of thou.

If Rocky & Bullwinkle aren’t careful, they might get scrootched by the 2 moonmen, Gidney ‘n’ Cloyd. I still watch those cartoons sometimes.

I’d also like to add, that as an adult, the Popeye cartoons have risen in stature to surpass the Hanna Barberra cartoons, to rival the best of LooneyTunes.

Oh, you would like to talk to her, would you? You and forty gazillion other guys. Wait in line.

It took me a while to figure out the <3. (You can’t google symbols.)

Mason jars vs. Dixie cups is what the war was actually fought over :!:

I deg to biffer. I would say that just being in the dictionary does not make it an English word. There must be many foreign words in there, but unless they are used on a continuous basis by we Englishers, I must bid adios to that theory.

Maybe in the way I stated the response, yeah, I was tongue ‘n’ cheek over-serious, but in the underlying content? No. It’s my understanding that snorting is more in the line of an exhale located predominantly in the proboscis, while snarking is an involuntary vibration of the soft fleshy tissue at the juncture between the tongue and the top of the throat during quick inhalations while laughing like a geek, dork, or dweeb.

Boy does that video take me back. We used to go to this guys apartment at my first job and he was hooked on this album. I remember one song the guy kept on saying German girls names over and over. ” Anna…Berta..”

Where’s here and how do you know it’s a word (vs. just a song title)?

Nice one CK.

“I recognize the lion by his paw, nevermind the huge jaws clamped around my neck.”

Jacques Bernoulli would be left with nothing to say, except than: “Pimp my quote”.

Just like a swift gazelle in the Ngorongoro crater. :cool:

Your argument as an inference is valid. However, an English dictionary being what it is, say, an English dictionary, pray tell, how will Oxford fare while you bid adios to that theory?

Oh, and it’s all our fault? Like we have a patent on mindless drivel and inane chatter? Granted, with our fertile soil, anything whacko planted here grows like wildfire.

Ah, who cares? It’s all crap anyway. Now if I can just train M to sit in my lap and purr like my cat, everything will be OK. :lol:

Or, “Where are all these people and who is my clothes?”

It depends on which chemicals you relied upon for “fun.”

It’s funny that, in Japan, lemons are so rare (stiff import tariffs on them) that they represent something highly prized. So you will see them pictured next to high-end cars in auto ads, for example, which is obviously something we would never do in the U.S., where their sourness stands for poor reliability (in cars).

Let’s take a country poll. What do lemons represent in your country?

It’s barbed-wire, meaning wire having barbs (not to put too fine a point on it).

Hey Marina, first time I have caught a vid in a while. You were just out of this world. The acting and the screen is working out great. You look very sweet as a poindexter. I’ll go give five stars and a hug for that performance. The music sounded like it was from The Transporter movies. :smile:

I don’t know why, but somehow your avatar seems to perfectly suit you. Don’t change a thing. :lol:

I loved this video. It was funny and educational. Great job teach. Yes I know one Poindexter. Well he is kinda a poindexter, he is smart but he saids he doesn’t want to be around people :twisted: , but he is a good guy.

:razz: How have you been? Did you get your neighbors flames retarded? :lol:

My thoughts were rendered. I have visited the area many years ago…I hate uncontrolled fires!!! :evil: God Bless and hang in there…”you-all”…thanks for the comment; some beautiful sand-hills and her trees :neutral: :-)

Come on Ck you can Google any thing.

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=%3C3

I think that people make a poindexter feel unaccepted. If someone is different they make everyone else feel awkward and so they stigmatize them. A poindexter is never given the opportunity to fit in and never gets used to socializing with people. It was very difficult for me, being smart and a lesbian. Nobody knew what to do with me and I became isolated. But now it’s different and I feel very empowered. Take heart poindexters things can change!

So,then, is a monkey wrench a crescent wrench as I always thought or am I sadly, sadly mistaken? :wink:

Hi Mike,

Glad to see you back. I thought we’d have to send a truant officer to find you!

-pennsyltucky9

I was wondering how long it would be before you saw that. Not nearly as explosive as I thought :razz:

In all seriousness, how many pictures did you have to take before you got the one you wanted. You look like the terminator after he has his eye ripped out! :wink: Muy serioso :shock:

Great seeing you back Mike. Missed seeing your great comments.
When I saw Felix and Ms Poindexter in the video above, guess what came to mind? When you fought those fires, you didn’t come across any moose and squirrels did you?
Rock on Bull’winkin.

Note to self, send plastic pocket protector to Marina for B-day. :razz:

I think it’s also to do with many people thinking Nerd and Geek being the same thing (as well as poindexter). I have quite a high IQ (I think) and like technology, but am quite shy, which makes people class me as a Nerd (Nerds have no social skills, Geeks do), and therefore cannot be seem near me as to ruin their ‘street rep’. But, lets face it. Those who are mocking you for being intelligent early on in your life will be the ones that work for you, so it’s not all bad :D

Marina, I’m repeating myself here, but you are really hilariously funny when you do your characters. This latest episode had me almost falling out of my office chair.

Hi Mike. I wondered where you’d been – guess I didn’t see the memo.
If you haven’t washed your face yet you’ll fit right in to our May Day festivities (See Chevolay’s tweet). :lol:

Great acting and comedic timing:

My Bumper Sticker:
“God, please save us from those who wish to eradicate your followers, your values, and your word from the face of the earth in the name of tolerance and diversity …oh, and the Islamic jihadists.”

The best one yet Marina! Fell down laughing. I even dropped my pocket protector!

Hey friend, I got lost for a while, but now I’m home again. Missed you all and hope all is well? :grin:

Hey Karl, missed you guys and gals. Saw a few squirrels and deer but no mooses or is it meeses. Oh well good to be back. :smile:

Hey Bob, all cleaned up. But I can still get dirty again if need be. I’ll go check out Che’s Tweet and see what he has going on. :wink:

Haha, Actually this was taken at Six Flags in San Antonio.
So it wasnt many takes, just a random picture my girlfriend took of me.

D’oh! Nope! I’ll have to look that one up. 42 years old with a case of C.R.S.!

I have found that most Poindexter types are good natured people. I know a few and they are very smart and some are a little goofy, but fun to be around. :smile:

Thanks pal. :smile: I didn’t know Mexico had a Navy. :oops: :lol:

In light of the current flu virus going around, I imagine that many people will not want to get too close to others in fear of contamination. That said/written, I was wondering what people thought the prospects were for setting up a website dealing with this matter. :shock:

Your thoughts to this serious matter are welcome. :grin:

internet = interconnected networks

Sorry, but it’s that simple. When Al Gore invented it, he misspelled it thusly: “internete.” (It seems Al has a problem appending an E to words that don’t need it.)

Jihadists have exactly the same wish: “…save us from…tolerance and diversity;” they demand conformance or else.

Simple.
Both.
…”those who wish to eradicate your followers, your values, and your word from the face of the earth in the name of tolerance and diversity …oh, and the Islamic jihadists.”

Chocolate has PEA in it!??

This melt-in-your-mouth delectable has been called irresistible, wicked and divine–no wonder eating it makes us think of other pleasurable indulgences. But there’s actually a possible scientific explanation for its effects. “Chocolate contains a compound called phenylethylamine or PEA that stimulates the nervous system, increases blood pressure and makes your heart beat faster–creating feelings similar to doing it [ doggie style ],” says Dr. Somerbetter.

I must concur. That dictionary girl had blonde hair and you could also hear a distinct HFW accent there : very, very, very suspicious. That other one, the one with the big glasses and chipmunk voice and pig-tails, again I must observe there was blonde hair sitting right there (pig-tails I theorize were an attention-diverting ruse) leading one to fathom most inescapably either a doppleganger or some kind of a secret-identity MPD scenario going on around here.

i respect that. hfw can be a diverse environment that does require good judgment and a degree of tolerance to avoid unnecessary conflicts and chaos. in the future you may be required to defend one you may disagree with or encourage a healthy dialogue between opposing opinions. i expect your judgement will continue to serve you well as it always has in the past as a long time contributor to hfw. as you and i have disagreed in the past we have always done so with humor and respect. i’ve always appreciated that with you.

hi Marina , I would like to request these words [kid] , [life] , [sex] im interested in the origin of those words.if you can get them it would be cool. thanx

Marina, this is the first time writing you.

Yes, I am one of millions of Marina lovers. And I am writing you because I saw you on O’Reilly a couple weeks ago and was disappointed, but not surprised, that you received some hateful messages.

Marina, when you receive those messages, ALWAYS – and I mean ALWAYS – consider the source. There are plenty of losers out there who have nothing better to do than try to knock down someone who is doing well.

Finally, let me say that you are just wonderful. I knew you had a great sense of humor, but until now didn’t realize how funny YOU could be!

I love you!!!! :wink:

YOUR EYES ARE LOOKING ELSEWHERE

Subsection a: Mushroom picking and toad-licking prohibited except on Sundays and Holidays.

I agree. Since we constantly face choice, judgement and decision is inevitable. With choice comes discrimination. As long as people can adjust their judgements, there should be no problem. Have you ever met people who no matter how hard you try to change their assessment of you; they will never change their opinion? These people are either overly left-brained, seeing the world only in terms of polar absolutes or its just encoded preference. The right brain is more chaotic, but from it, the left-brain makes it judgements and keeps it in check, like a bridled horse – Order out of chaos.

The problem with rights and wrongs though, is that while there are universal constants or truths, a lot of it ends up as point of view. People have their own idea of the truth, right and wrongs. Therefore, chaos (or an unstable society) is often inevitable, and occasionally desirable. I think that’s what’s the beast symbolises, the chaos which burns within the archaic heart of Man. Chaos is a motion to change (good or bad), the moment when Ying transforms into Yang (or not).

Tolerance to change, a regulatory function, can be a good thing to avoid chaos, but too much is dangerous. I love lasagne, but too much causes my stomach to have a chaotic revolution and rebel.

How did [stormy petrel] evolve from a sea bird to ‘a person who causes or likes trouble or strife’ (dictionary.com)?

Where does the word [communism] came from? I know it has something to do with the Commune de Paris from 1870 but I am not quite sure. Would be very interesting.

Hey Marina, good to hear from you via Twitter! Mary here from Somesso. We’ve got a conference coming up on May 15 – I’d love to get you involved. Please do drop me a line at mary [at] somesso.com.

I think certain people or groups are over-playing this whole swine flu thing to take our minds off of other, more important things and the media is eating it with a spoon. (After it has been washed, of course!) :oops:

I’m shocked nobody has referenced the song “bust a move”. You know,’standing along the wall like you was Poindexter’. It is these little particles of arcane minutae that make this site such an invaluable research source :lol:

I thought that was Dan Quayle

I did not recognize that one. Can you reference that for me, please? I would very much like to follow up on that. One of my very favorites is from Romans 2, “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by by the renewing of your mind.”

It is very easy for me to focus too heavily on one aspect, as in Matthew 7, and I often forget the complexity of my relationship with the Father. I try to keep the daily stuff simple. Life is on a wheel, and my behavior and attitude will be reciprocated back to me. Too much theology can get me sidetracked. I need the answer to, “But what do I actually do, right now? :???:

That’s what I was thinking, too. Perhaps CK knows another example that I do not.

How about [willy-nilly]?

Hey beevee14, great observation.
The tune at the end was driving me nuts and I couldn’t place it. Yes, you are correct, I love these nuggets of arcane minutae. Marina is very clever. Thanks for the great observation.

Here is the first verse and the the YT video.

Young MC – Bust A Move

This here’s a jam for all the fellas
Tryin to do what those ladies tell us
Get shot down cause ya over-zealous
Play hard to get females get jealous
Okay smarty go to a party
Girls are scantily clad and showin body
A chich walks by you wish you could sex her
But you’re standing on the wall like you was Poindexter
Next days function high class luncheon
Food they’re serving, you’re stone-cold munchin
Music comes on people start to dance
But then you ate so much you nearly split your pants
A girl starts walking guys start gawking
Sits down next to you and starts talking
Says she wants to dance cause she likes to groove
So come on fatso and just bust a move

how about [Hill-Billie]?

Duh! The title is right there: The Goose that Laid the Golden Egg.

It seems Leonard has described himself via request. :lol:

To sex an animal means to determine the gender by examination. Somehow I think it has a different meaning in the lyrics.

You are saying the 4 seconds of music at 1:18 is from the music video you linked to? To my hearing, the music in the lesson is much slower than the music in the video.

(The very last few seconds reminds me of, I think, Witness for the Prosecution — I think the dialog in the movie is “care to kiss me, buckey?” — the movie is about a woman who saves her British lover (who is a murderer) but then the murderer reveals that he just used her and goes with another woman; and then the heroine “executes” him.)

It looks like we have some of those animals here. Actually, a cat would be the last animal to copy anything (unless they wanted to, and then they would do it when you weren’t looking just so that you wouldn’t get any fancy ideas about getting them to do things your way). A chimp would probably be far more likely to ape (forgive me) someone, but copy chimp just doesn’t have the same ring to it. I think it has to do with alliteration more than anything else.

Meow. Uh, I mean, ooh-ooh.

You’re right. I knew it was some veep or another. Our veeps seem to not always come up to snuff.

Or wool. Priests use wool. That would explain all of the great comedy bits that came out of the Spanish Inquisition. Wait…maybe that was Mel Brooks in “History of the World”? :grin: ‘Hey Torquemada what do you say…’

BTW, The word TORTURE comes from Torquemada and all of the fun he had convincing people that Catholicism was where it was at.
Maybe TORQUE, too(now that I look at it).’The amount of rotational force it takes to pull somebody arm off’ could’ve been the first definition!!

SADISM comes from Marquis de Sade. Evidently, he had a bit of a fetish, too. :roll:

The military first came up with it during 60′s as a way to pass information in the vast military/industrial complex. As a matter of fact, most tech gadgets today were invented by or for the military.

Who can think of more technology invented by military that is common today?

I’ll go first: microwave ovens

Amen!

I’ve had alot of cats(Cats keep animals from tearing open feed bags) and I think this might be like ‘Curiosity killed the cat’ because if you do something, they’re probably going to check out what you did, thereby copying you.Or NOT :mrgreen:

Is that Eddie from Iron Maiden in your picture?

Whoops… minor spelling glitch I made in comment, correct spelling is : doppelganger. Doppel meaning double in German, “a” should have umlaut also.

Who knows what a SSID wireless network name is? I’m installing a wireless adapter for a laptop.

I believe it’s just a name you assign in the wireless router. It could be anything, but since the name will show up on nearby neighbors’ systems, you should use something you would want your grandmother to see.

Yes, I did a search again and got pass that now it wants the security key, I have to wait to ask nephew.

Found the clip that I was reminded of Witness for the Prosecution — start seeing from 1:25.

Here’s the similarity I am registering — it is the similarity between the following two transitions:

In this video, there is a transition from “I am obviously not a poindexter” to “but do you know”.

In Witness, there is a transition from “I’ll give you something to dream about Mister” to “Want to kiss me, ducky?”

The movie uses timing and background music to underscore the transition; Marina has used timing and voice to underscore the transition. In both, the transition leads to a shocking, “in your face” climax.

By the way, it is proper that Marina “out-took” that clip since such a transition is not appropriate to that dialog — there is no need at all to be shocking and “in your facey” while assigning homework!

I would like to know the origin for the word [Youker]. This is a card game.
Thank you!

I would like to know the origin and meaning of ( Can’t see the forest for the trees). Thank you.

Good word! I agree, jaq336. BTW, I believe [euchre] is the preferred spelling (according to Hoyle).

Hey, nice gravatar, pappajoe!

I was just playing, fredjr. No worries. And wakeboarding is a whole ‘nuther critter.
When I was (much) younger we played a “game” we called Chicken-Trickin’. Essentially two or three of us would get up behind the boat and do anything we could to knock each other off our skis. No rules. We’d whip out and slam into each other, run over the other person’s ski, yank down their swimsuit (top or bottom), jump up on their back-whatever. Looking back, it was a little dangerous, but we were all good skiers and in great condition. Still pretty foolish, but what a BLAST!

Howdy Marina!

Evening everybody!

I would like to request the word [monger]

[LIABLE]

We will be held [LIABLE] for mean comments made here.

If I ever meet Marina I’m [LIABLE] to be a stammering idiot.

Thanks.

Hello My Dear Teacher ! I Love Your “Poindexter” Video. Well Done ! Although
I Will Remain Your Faithful Student, This Is The Last Comment I Will Leave On Your Site. My Beef Is The Same As Yours. Too Many “Jerks And Boneheads” Out There.

!!! THANKS !!! For Your Site. Keep On Keeping On.

Surely not on this site. :shock:

Yes, on this site. And dont call me surely :roll:

i’ve wondered why it is regionally concentrated in the midwest and northeast. i bet the odds are good that you know how to play.

you, my dear teacher are talented.

Nope. Guess I should’ve taken that bet. Card games are marginally interesting to me, but only as a last resort when I’m stuck indoors and bored silly.

I just love words. I can’t help it. I even pretend to be in love with our dear teacher just so I can be here with all the words (looks at his shoes). I hereby confess.

In fact, when the storm rages and the electricity goes out, Scrabble is my game of choice, although I suck at it. I’ve even been known to just sit by the fire and read the Official Scrabble Players’ Dictionary, a sure sign that it’s terminal. I’m a sick, sick individual.

I just felt the earth wobble :???:

me too :oops:

I’m reminded of a limerick…

Nah, it’s just too disgusting.

:neutral:

Why i can’t see the video after commentting! please someone tell me why?
