I Hit 200,000 YouTube Subscribers!

.

Hey! Marina!

Cliche: “Let me be the first to congratulate you!”

Congratulations! Well deserved!

:grin: I want to be the first to congratulate you on 200,000…Not many will ever get close to that number. :smile:

:grin: :grin: Congrats Marina :grin: :grin:
Way to go keep up the GREAT work :grin:

Marina, I just congratulated you on your “Lunch Date” page, but I’m so excited for you I had to do it again!

WAY TO GO, BABE!!!!

Simply incredible. Like you.

Always.

I would like to request the origins of the word [Godspeed]

don’t you feel guilty for hitting 200,000 youtube subscribers? apparently intelligence is violent as well!

ouch! you hit me twice!

Do you think you could talk about the origin of [garrison] and also why the shellfish is called [muscle]

Congratulations, Marina! You’ve earned it!

As luck would have it, I had popped up on Twitter earlier today to upload a couple pics, and it was just about then that you hit 200,000 and sent out the tweet about it. I’m just getting used to Twitter, so I found that to be very interesting to catch you right at that 200,000 mark. Here’s to your next 200,000 subscribers!

Peace and love, Errin : )

Watching the numbers climb up to 200,000 hotforwords subscribers was very exciting indeed :grin:

:oops: However, I continue to be twitterphobic. Is there counciling for tweetwarys like me?

I don’t believe it is said enough you need to dance more in your videos.

I was watching and refreshing at the same time you were as the number of subscribers slowly crept toward the 200,000 milestone. I couldn’t be happier for such a wonderful person.

This makes me wonder, though. What is the next milestone you hope to achieve and how can we help you get there?

Oh! Did you see that?
Your chin just got a little higher. :grin:
You’re a shining example of what a person can achieve with a lot of hard work and a strict work ethic.
It looks like you’re movin’ on up! :mrgreen:
You’ve earned each and every one of your subscribers and with every lesson/video getting better by the minute I’m sure you’ll “peg” 300,000 within a year.
You are self made Marina, it doesn’t get any more respectful than that!
Congratulations :!: :!: :!:

.

PS, Marina: I was not interested in the “race” to a million twitter-followers; but I kept an eye on your climb to 200K, starting, a few days back, with a slow frequency of checks of the current number, leading to an ever-increasing, rapid-fire frequency of checks earlier today for quite some time as the culmination neared, and a gradual slowing down of the checks after having seen 200,002. Was it like this for you too?

I would like to request the word [Venture] i know what it means i use the word all the time but everytime i use it everyone says they never heard that word before…

CONGRATULATIONS, MISS MARINA!!! What a wonderful ride. We appreciate all your knowledge, hard work, and creative videos making us also knowledgeable. I can’t wait to see you smiling brain again soon.

Sean

:)

hey, teacher, i’d like to know the origin of the word [java] thanks!

Miss Marina, I would like some insight into the phrase [tongue in cheek].

Have a wonderful weekend! Go see Star Trek! It rocks!!!

Marina is the shizzzzete!!! :mrgreen:

Yes, interesting is a good word to describe this experience, from yours and our point of view as well.
Keep up the good work, and only good things may happen.
Congratulations!

(I think it’s the 10th time I congratulated Marina for something this year… that’s got to count for something, when viewing one’s recent achievements) :-)

P.S. Only congratz I got recently was for obtaining my driver’s license, and that was months ago! I need to step my game up… maybe I’ll be congratulated at the end of the month for winning a certain game… who knows huh? (and I’m buying my own ticket, thank you :mrgreen: )

Yes, I caught that wording as well… we can see the violence inherent in this system! We’re being repressed!… or is it O-pressed? Maybe M-pressed… hell, I think I’m getting D-pressed.

Congrats, Marina!

200K? Wow! You’ve really came a long way!

Hey, hello there Marina, greetings from Lima – Perú! I would like to know about this word: [XOXO] you always say it and i dont know what it is….thanks….byeee

i would love to have your calendar but i live to far…i was in Vegas some time, it was great !

Arrrgh! I was about to say the same kind of thing. :mad:

NEWS FLASH!!! “HotForWords Hit 200,000 YouTube Subscribers!” NEWS FLASH!!!

Marina , do you always get so VIOLENTLY HAPPY when your successful? :wink:

Congratulations :!:

Congrats. :mrgreen:

{Che snaps fingers as a way of acknowledging Marina's success while sitting in the back of a Beatnik internet cafe near Berkley, "Mondo cool, Duchess"} :cool:

Congratulations on your tenth Marina congratulation and on your positive attitude on the outcome of the competition.
I hope your ticket won’t be wasted. :wink:

Well done Marina!!! BTW, I love the video quality at 0:38 and the clip after that… I think it must be the natural light coming in too…

WELL DONE

Congratulations, Marina, on this latest goal ticked off.
You are a very goal-oriented person and each one ticked off gives you more [charisma] and makes it more likely that you will achieve the next stage in your flight to the stars.
All aboard the rocketship Marina!

WOW!!!! 200,000 :grin: :grin: :grin:

So, [teacher] could this be a good time to request the words [celebrate][dancing] [party] [cheers] [congratulations]

200,000 hugs and kisses for you, at least!

More more more!!! [encore]

XM:)

Hmmmm… so if I were to unsubscribe right now, that would pretty much end the celebration. :mrgreen:

Told you, only water, wine, vinegar and edible oil.

Good work :razz:

:cool: AWESOME Marina :!: CONGRATS :!:

Cliche: “Let me be the first to congratulate you!”…On being first to congratulate “QUEEN MARINA”…lets dance…

Congratulations! Well deserved! ******

CONGRATS!

Congrats :mrgreen:

Felcidades!!! Y brindemos por otros 200 mil mas!

Congrats on 200k. :smile:

When you were dancing you looked mesmerized

OK, a lame excuse for word a request – apparently [mesmerize] is related to a guy called “Mesmer”.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franz_Mesmer

Dear Marina,
Congratulations on exceeding 200,000 subscribers. You always will be beautiful to me! In a few weeks, you will exceed 200 million views on YouTube, and to celebrate, I hope you will dance for us, again! :razz:
Seesixcm6

Is there a time-line of various HFW milestones?

Corngranulations! How come this vid is filed under lessons? It’s not a lesson.

Is there a list somewhere showing the number of subscriptions by all YTers?

I would like to request the word [pump, as in the shoe]

Who was the 200,000th person?
Do you know their identity?

the word is [couth] like . you ant got any couth, meaning bad upbring or class . i think i think your great

 
Congratulations on a well deserved 200,000 subscribers.
I love the video and I liked how you said, “It has been
an interesting experience? So, how interesting was it? :smile:
Thank you for the kisses and kisses xoxo back.

CONGRATULATIONS MARINA!!! Wooo-Hooo!

Congratulations, Marina! It’ll be a short hop then to 300,000! :grin:

Copies my post and change the ! to a :mrgreen: did you??? ….. bastard :mrgreen:

Hey! T’aint funny :mrgreen:

Canned rats! again, Lady M. :grin:

A couple weeks ago, I believe some of you mentioned mountain climber Greg Mortenson. I am reading his book, Three Cups of Tea right now. Very good, so far. Can someone please direct me to the posts where you were discussing him? Thx, dudes. :grin:

Marina has two videos on the Top Rated Honors board on page 1 right now. The “I hit 200,000 subscribers!” and “Are you my peeping Tom?”, which is also on page 1 of the Most Discussed board.

AND, guess what?

The “Hey Mr. Hot Stuff!” video is still on page 1 of the
Spotlight Videos Honors board.

Я люблю свое видео Марина, хранить делает их.

I know nothing about the person who made this tweet about 10 hours ago to spread the good news about you reaching 200K subscribers to his over 660 tweet followers, but he quotes my Comment 1.1!

congratulations Marina.

You deserve all the acclaim you can get

Hey Marina. I wanna request the word [recession] because it seems the economy doesn’t really matter around these parts. Congrats on the 200,000 subscribers!

Hey congratulations Marina! keep up the good work

Hey Marina

200,000 congratulations on reaching this milestone! I think your dancing is exciting and you look great doing it :!:

How about looking into the word [palimpsest] which I heard used today?

Keep up the good work; I truly appreciate it :roll:

No whoppers! how about the word [whopper]

:cool: Two Hundred Thousand!!! :mrgreen:

I hope I’m your favorite :oops:

no, your aggression and acts of violence are all attributable to playing grand theft auto. i warned you.

Quite an achievement. Congratulations!!!

Oh oh oh! [pat] as in, [I stand pat!] as in firm.

[lilliputs], this would be a really cool word to use. Faulkner and Jonathan Swift are the only two people I know of who have used it. So where is Gorby from? Lilliput? :lol:
Ugh! I need some sleep! Finals . . .

Yea. No. Yea, I so dont crack myself up.

Congratulations Marina.
I love the dancing.
I remember when you mentioned that you had 35,000 subscribers.
What are you averaging? 9,000 – 10,00 per month?

Hi Marina, I’d like to request the word [Comrade]
and congratulations on your achievement!!

“It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity.” – Albert Einstein 1879-1955

Hummm what do you all think of Alberts thoughts?

At YouTube, Marina was wondering what’s the big deal about having 200K subscribers; so I created a forum topic for discussing What’s the big deal about having 200K YouTube subscribers?

MY dear crasivy , oh my, i forgot my russian.. anyhow, i want to know how and who made the word {word} itself? thank u teach

Hi. i love your videos, by the way, you are sexy!!!! :mrgreen: well, i wanted to ask where the word [taco] come from. thank you. again, you are sexy.

Both Burger King and McDonalds cannot make a good tasting burger. And here’s something I thought I’d never say in this lifetime, but here goes, Jack in the Box makes a better burger. And better fries, too. There I said it. But, I do feel for the brothers who have a Whopper jones. I could sense that it was only a matter of time before they brought up mu’fuckers, which they plainly did bring up. But, the problem I have with Jack is that he goes too far with his commercials. I mean, menopause? Please, no. It ain’t right.

That’s interesting. He also said “The more I learn, the more I realize I don’t know.”

Both statements seem to hint at an upward spiral in the complexity of life over the passage of his lifetime. Now I’m no Einstein, but it seems to me he was onto something there.

Yeah, well. Sorry to disappoint you elahie! :cool: We still have our moments, though.

Oh man, I could almost feel that in my perineum. If I had one, that is.

As opposed to not wearing it? :shock:

I find your videos very informing and entertaining and your very beautiful. I was wandering where the word [king crab] came from. Keep up the good work.

which is the meaning of [ lol ] ?? :?:

I totally understand Albert’s thoughts about the more he learns the more he doesn’t know. I would have that statement tattooed on my chest If I could. I swear Albert was my brother. We think so much a like but he so more diligent at thinking than I was. I wish we were close friends. We would have gotten along so very well. I would have love to go sailing with him…………. :smile:

I would like to request the meaning of the phrase: [over yonder]. One of my friends that I am currently deployed with in Iraq loves to use it. The rest of us have an idea as to what it means, but it would be interesting to see if there is an actual meaning for it. Thank you so much!

A Big accomplishment and milestone!

What will people say (very soon) when she eclipses the ‘King of Pop’ (with a 45 year career) in Total views on YouTube?

I’ll offer my thought right now…

Marina, stay away from the Boys, and keep pleasing the Men. :wink:

:roll:

Feel free to add a smile Guys – if you concur…

Wow! I’m so very honored…. So many of us students have dreamed about you. Nice to hear you have dreamed about one of your students. Yeah I know I’m a TA but still a student.

Hey I just thought of something. How could you have a dream about me and yet you have not seen a video of me in motion? It doesn’t make sense. I would expect you would dream of James for all the videos he has made.

Hey guys, We all know about dreams is the minds way of processing off all the information collected from the day. My questions is does the dreams help us solve problems that we where not able to solve in our daily life’s?

Marina looks like a blonde lara croft http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ya9yl0K_G1Q&t#0m16s

“The secret of success is to know something nobody else knows.” – was this aimed at me Marina?

Rumour has it that in order to cut through life as a sportbike cuts its way through traffic, as sharply as the finest blade, one has got to be very, very honest. In the dance in the video, the dancer is cuter than the dancing!

“When virtue and modesty enlighten her charms, the lustre of a beautiful woman is brighter than the stars of heaven, and the influence of her power it is in vain to resist.”
– Akhenaten (circa 1350 BC)

It has become appallingly obvious that intelligence is perhaps sexy, but it is neither a vice nor a virtue. Intelligence is nothing more than pure cerebral horsepower. Like speed, agility, force or beauty. It has also become appallingly obvious that humanity is less impregnated into humans than cheetahnity into cheetahs, zebranity into zebras or technology into fancy gadgets and spiffy gizmos.

J!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

O’pen the window, take a deep, long breath. Go on, inhale some fresh air. Keep it inside yourself for some time… Feel the mounting pressure as it gradually grows into your lungs. Bear it still for as long as you can. Then, in a sudden spasm of alleviation, flush it to where it came from! Yeah, unleash it back into the stratosphere! Trust me. You’ll feel way better and relaxed after that. And perhaps more intelligent too. A little bit more intelligent. Let’s not exaggerate.

Hi Captain Jack,
Marina didn’t need to see you in motion as she gave a direct clue to why she dreamed of you. It seems that your photo is very [evocative].

By the way, I just left a comment over at the Moscow News Interview page regarding the word evocative.

Yes, I would agree with your question that dreams help us sort out and possibly help us solve problems. Dream analysis and Jungian psychology and [symbolism] is a fascinating field of study.

What a brilliant quote and how appropriate!
BTW …
NeuroAqua for instant thirst quenching.
NeuroGasm for healthy blood flow & sexual desire.
NeuroSleep to improve sleep quality.
NeuroBliss for calmness & well-being.
NeuroSonic to promote alertness & cognitive function & reduce fatigue.
NeuroSportique for hydration & maximum power in aerobics.
NeuroWay for …? :???:

I’ve always found it fascinating that dreams apparently tie up loose ends while flushing out the “garbage” in the subconscious. I’ve awakened from a dream confused only to discover things from it coming together over the next several hours or even days.

Dreams are the brain defragging itself and solutions often emerge when data is rearranged and hitherto unseen connections become evident.

Oh, we could. But we respect Marina.

Marina,

You need to get them to do a collaborative effort with you and produce
NEUROWORDS: The Drink.

And each other.

:lol: :wink: :grin: :smile: :mrgreen:
:cool: B.B. :twisted: :mrgreen:

But mostly Marina.

haha i love the dance marina, you are the best.

LOL = laughing out loud

The strangest thing happen to me yesterday. I was walking to the Hiram M. Chittenden Locks on my way home and to catch a glimpse of some boats. Yeah it’s kind of weird I see boats all day and I still enjoy watching the genital giants drift in and out of the locks. It’s kind of like watching elephants walk by.
I wanted to take a short cut to the locks so I followed the railroad tracks. I came across some guys that were drinking some beer and eating. One of them walked up to me in passing and said something like “How are you doing Captain?” I replied “Very well and how are you?” I think he said “Good…” Now you would think ok nothing special. I hear this all the time but what was weird was I pulled off my ball cap to see if I was wearing a captain’s hat. All was printed on it was ‘Coupville’. There was nothing on my person that would indicated that I was a captain. I never seen this man before. I have not walked this short cut in like over a year.
This got me thinking. This has happen before but never have I given much thought to it until yesterday. When I was in the Navy my nick name was Admiral. Then later Admiral Byrd. I have even asked shipmates why they called me this and they said because you’re the Admiral.

What I find interesting about my dreams they solve problems but only in the dream realm. My dreams are so vivid I sometimes think what I did in my dream I had already did in real life. I would think “Hey! I already did this! Why is it not completed?” What I find interesting is that I sometime I would use the same solution I had used in my dream to solve problems in the real world.

Gotta reluctantly tear myself away from here and take care of some things. Marina, love you and have a great day. Everybody enjoy your weekend.

Поздравляю вас! :grin:

I have a request for a word, and it is the word [JAPAN]. I know there are many countries whose names you could do, though Japan is a country that means a lot to me and it would be very, very special to me if you were to give the history/meaning behind the word.

Again, Congratulations.

lol haha yup

I have a request for the word [Alcohol]

Better than throwing Marina Orlova into the ‘dirt’ is admonishing her.
I bear witness that she did a dangerous thing.
She started using the body in order to get ratings so she could pass on the knowledge of word origins, also to make money.
The channel in the early days was about words, now it is about pop culture and other nonesense. The words that are explained are “Pop culture” words and sexual words as well.
Once you start on the path of evil, it becomes easy to continue evil.

Greetings:

In Pagan Arabia, before Islam was revealed unto them, there was a recognized diety named Ilah(EElah). The Pagan Arabs thought that Ilah was the Lord of the Universe, but, they were still Idol worshippers.
They had the belief that angels, the other Idols in Arabia and other worshipped statues were the sons and daughters or kin of Elah.

The word Ilah, linguistically, can be used such that there is more than one Ilah.
You have one Ilah, which can be transformed to 3-infinity ilat according to Arabic grammar.

The prefix Al in Arabic is used to mean “THE”. Al-Qaida=The Base, otherwise you would have Base, which can be transformed to Qaidat=Bases.
In the same manner Al-Ilah=The ONE and ONLY DIETY, LORD, MASTER, CREATOR, SUSTAINER, THE ONLY TO BE WORSHIPPED.
The I in Ilah was truncated(removed), so that there is only Al-Lah or Allah, so that there can be no manipulation of the name of Allah according to the rules of Arabic grammar such that you can have more than one Allah.
Pure worship of the ONLY Creator of all that is seen an unseen is what the word Allah means and entails.

Arab Christians have ignored the rules of Arabic grammar and because of the Trinitarian doctrine of the Church have written the name Allat, which doesn’t make any sense in Arabic and easily proven to be false.
Ilah=Lord, it can be pluralized. Then you introduce Al=THE and write Allah=The ONE and ONLY bereft of all plurality. But the Arab Christians have tried to introduce plurality into a system that by design negates it.

Allah is free from partners both in real life and linguistically.
In Arabic we say SoobhanAllah=Allah is Perfect, free from imperfections and distortions.
SubhanAllah.

Word Request

Really surprised it is not already on the list :?:

Hooters – how did we ever call lovely breasts (like yours) Hooters?

Yeah I do have to agree with you Jack does kick ass over Burger King and McDonalds but I disagree with you on his commercials. I think they rule,ain’t nothing like a crazy and scary lady as a spokesperson to sell smoothies :!:

Hi, I noticed you hadn’t done this word, so I’d like to request…

[Genuflecting]

Heard it in a NoFX song, a good one at that.

I would like to request the word,

(philanthropist)

Thanks!

hey ive got 3 things to say

1. youre extremly pretty :smile:

2. gratz on the 200,000 subscribers

3. id like to request the word miraculous

i got this description from an online dictionary

extraordinary. Miraculous, preternatural, supernatural refer to that which seems to transcend the laws of nature. Miraculous refers to something that apparently contravenes known laws governing the universe: a miraculous success. Preternatural suggests the possession of supernormal qualities: Dogs have a preternatural sense of smell. It may also mean supernatural: Elves are preternatural beings. Supernatural suggests divine or superhuman properties: supernatural aid in battle.

thank you and i hope to here more :mrgreen:

hey hotforwords i am me..
:arrow: :neutral: :!: :sad:
I want to request the word :arrow: cat :roll: :wink: :wink: :wink:

I’m betting you’ll hit a million before the recession is over and that should be soon with Mr. Obama addressing the issue of [usury] in the credit card industry. Keep up the good work.

I witnessed the result of nightlife tonight… A stabbing, right by my friends house…. Guy came back coughing blood, someone had slashed him across the throat. I got my dad to bring me back home… I was depressed most of the night… This is awful… Doesn’t help either that harry was stabbed a few years ago outside…That boosts my confidence! :neutral:

I would like to request a word:

[birthday]

Thanks.

Well, I guess if menapause is hitting you particularly hard, a smoothie would make it a little better.

I would like to request the word:
[gorgeous]

thanks.

I know there are lots of haters out there, but I find your videos fun and informative. Keep up the good work! I’d like to request the word [lycanthrope], it’s been on my mind of late.

[cat]

That would be a good lesson.

Hi Marina, Congrats on the 200,000 subscribers! I would like to know where the phrase [Go to the John] came from? My name is John and over the years I have heard a lot of John jokes and I just wondered about the origin? Thanks, John

What about [Potty] ?

[Cat] is of Celtic origin (compare Welsh gath), one of a few of our words (“car” is another) that supplanted Latin equivalents. (Latin for “cat” is felis, and the Romans borrowed carrus from the Gauls.) :cool:

[genuflect] :lol:

That’s obvious — [hooters] rhymes with “nothing could be cuter!” :grin:

Let’s pray for her soul and make positive suggestions, like [piety].

As-salaam alaikum, tommaralem. You have given us a word lesson worthy of a true philologist. :smile: To which I might add that all the words in my list are also of Arabic origin. (We could add “Cotton” and “sugar” too.)

As a side note, one of the Hebrew words for God, elohim, actually means “gods” and was a carryover from a time before Abraham when Hebrews believed in more than one god. Eloi is Hebrew singular for “God”, and sounds remarkably like ilah. This is not surprising since Hebrew and Arabic share common roots (note also salaam/shalom, baraka/baruch, alaikum/aleichim, pairs of Arabic/Hebrew cognates.) :smile:

One final cautionary note: this, being a philology website, is no place for anti-semantic remarks. :mrgreen:

{Oh dear, he was doing so well with his topic, and had to ruin it all at the end with a bad pun.} :sad:

The most beloved 4 By 4 vehicle is the ww2 willies [jeep] meny believe that the name came form the “jeep jeep” noise that horn made.but I have it on old guy info “this guy drove a willies in the war and loves them” The president was being driven up the whitehouse step sand a gennerl was asked by a reporter “propoted to be female” what it was. The genneral replid a jeep “this apperently ment “untried vehicle” could be a more genneral thing

OK, CJ, M’s post explains that whole bit a month or so ago about men finding you attractive. See, some guys like you just have so much charisma that other men — straight men, mind you — want to hang out with you in hopes that some of it will rub off, and Marina will dream about the rest of us, as well! :razz: :grin:

Hey, CJ, I was down at the Black River Forest in Renton a few weeks ago, reflecting that before the Hiram Chittenden Locks were constructed, the Black was actually a flowing river (Lake Washington was 17 feet higher then.) Of course this has nothing to do with linguistics, but as to the fellows recognizing you as a tyee kopa hyas kanim (maika kumtux?), who knows, maybe they were HotForWords fans? :razz:

I beg your pardon?! :???:

(¿Cómo se escribe “shizzzzete” en español?)

[Xoxo] is a variation on the Nahuatl (Aztec) word “xoco,” from whence we get the word “chocolate.” The Hershey’s Company makes a chocolate candy called “Kisses”; hence [xoxo] has become a slang word for “kiss”. But only in writing, since no one knows exactly how it should be pronounced. :razz:

It’s true, I tell you. :mrgreen:

¿Es claro, o mejor que yo lo escriba en español? :razz:

By the way, how do you ask a llama its name?
¿Cómo se llama, llama? :mrgreen:

Oh God, here I go again…almost midnight, and ALL the “Recent Comments” (almost) are little red dragons… :cry:

BTW, website technical question,, Marina, TAs, what would happen to our gravatars if gravatar.com were suddenly to shut down? Would they all go blank? :?:

 
Hi Evan,
Generally speaking, no — the gravatars are cached on your computer and they are possibly also cached on the HFW server. Marina has control of the cache settings on her server, so that when a page is refreshed, it looks for the gravatar on the server before going out to the gravatar site. Marina made some comments about that some time ago when she was tweaking some settings. When you revisit the page, the gravatar is displayed from your cache on your computer.

lol! no se….! no compendo en ingles! lmao! :grin:

Hello Marina, I need a lesson on the term, [doublecross]. I know I’d hate to be called a doublecrosser. The term is used in the very last portion on the above clip in the link, so scroll to the end to hear it used.

My word request is: [Douche Bag] Please let me know the meaning of that word :wink:

PS: you’re awesome!

my interpretation is on fire or something like that! lol! :wink: :lol: :wink:

My word request is: [ego]
or phrase [my ego (Marina) is bigger than a Grand Canon]
Thanks :smile:

OK, may word request is [Panov].

Hi Marina! My word request is…. crocodile ..

How doth the little [crocodile ]
Improve his shining tail,
And pour the waters of the Nile
On every golden scale!

How cheerfully he seems to grin
How neatly spreads his claws,
And welcomes little fishes in,
With gently smiling jaws!

–Lewis Carroll

[Panov] cookies! :mrgreen:

Извинeте, моля :!: Bad joke! :oops:
Whatever you say, it Serbs me right. :!:

[Douche Bag] :roll:

So if I were to “clean out my cache,” my gravatar would disappear? :???:

Hey, where’s “wordlover”? Hors de combat in a flame war? :razz:

[Philanthropist] comes from the British slang phrase, fill and throw, pissed, in reference to the nausea that afflicts some people after several pints. :mrgreen:

4:30AM God, I've GOTT to find a cure for these bouts of insomnia! :sad:

Hey Marina. congratulations on your achievement. I wanted to know to origins of the phrase [Cool as a Cucumber] :cool: . Thanks for explaning… :mrgreen:

Happy MAMA day…I would think all “women day”…crazy words of dictation and mess of diversity…HEARS OnE*****Aterciopelados – El Estuche music video…God Bless all the *****MOTHERS*****

John Lennon – Stand By Me

This is what can happen with my ride being late…John Lennon & Yoko Ono stage a ‘bed-in’
******Yoko Ono and John Lennon staged their non-violent protest against wars by having a week-long ‘bed-in’ at the Amsterdam Hilton Hotel. They held open hours for the press to visit them and talked about peace and love. The ‘bed-in’ was staged during Ono & Lennon’s honeymoon.

hey hotforwords, I was wondering if you can look up the origin of the word [rubbish] and find out why only british and australian people say it, and not americans or canadians. thanks!

Am I trying your [patience], laddie? :razz:

Its meant to be for word requests… Stop abusing it.

Off topic, Bob, but do you get the notices in your email when someone replies to your remarks? I was getting them for awhile after I returned, until my cover was blown and M. realized who I am. :lol:

I appreciate your concern, James, but please note that I’ve merely been adding brackets to word requests in other students’ comments.

Granted, you have plenty of OTHER reasons to be irritated with me… :lol:

What’s that, leonard — with your ride being late, did you have a bed-in with someone? Congratz! :grin:

Hi Evan,
When you clear the chache, you don’t lose the gravatars, but the page would load very slowly the first time. When you visit the site a second time later, then the page loads very quickly because the information is already on your PC and does not have to get it from the web. The cache is a performance enhancer, in other words, it helps to load web pages faster. It’s a type of buffer if you will.

When you click on a web page, the browser logic first looks to your cache for the information such as images, web pages and so on. If it can’t find an image such as a gravatar in the cache, then the browser says, go look for it at the Gravatar site. If the Gravatar site were down, then, you would see a blank gravatar.

Marina, can further assist with fast page loading user experience by caching the gravatars on her server. So, if the gravatar was missing from your cache, the browser says go get it from the HFW server and if it is not there, then go to the Gravatar site. This is all about performance. If the Gravatar site is down, you would still see the gravatar either from your cache or the HFW cache. That’s why this HFW site is one of the best managed and run sites. Considering all of the images, web pages here load very quickly.

A nice trip down memory lane…

Marina… please define “VERY strict” for us. :twisted:

Hey Marina, I tried to edit and add the great news about 200,00 on wiki. I t will not let me. You should update it :lol:

Fascinating stuff, PK! Thanks! :grin:

i would like to request [prestidigitateur]

Wow — Great question in your blockqote. But not one for a single lesson — one could write a book on it, and I’m sure quite a few have been!

Tommaralem 1987 wrote us a memorable chapter for this book, perhaps even the starting one, for so much of the symbols and behaviors of the Semites (be they Muslim Arab or Jewish) revolves around their relationship with Allah / YHWH. :smile:

I defer to the judgement of someone calling himself “pennsyltucky.” :razz: :smile:

Afortunadamente, Marina solamente hace lecciones de palabras en inglés. Pero encontré éste:

According to the Real Academia Española, the word taco originally means “plug” and refers to rolled paper or cloth patches for musket balls.

:smile:

Pero, [taco] ya ha llegado a ser palabra en inglés, pues tal vez Marina hará una lección acerca de él. Esperamos. Creo que leí por algún lugar que a Marina le gustan los tacos. :grin:

Marina, didn’t you say you & Che like tacos? :???:

koalabear, your confusion is understandable, since some of the kanji DOES seem to be missing…at least, my browser only sees “�” where it should be. :neutral:

Dear Marina,

Would you like to do a special lesson about French words in other languages ? When you open an English dictionary, perhaps one word on three comes from French, and (as I speak Swedish), every other word in a Swedish dictionary comes from French (e.g. French [fauteuil], Swedish [fåtölj] (armchair). In West-African languages, due to the colonial history, a lot of colourful words come from French too, and I am also wondering about Russian, and about Japanese and other Asian languages. Also, many words of love and fashion come from French ([flirt], [glamour]).

I would also like to register to your prizes, but I am not an internet nerd, I feel akward with twitter… Of course I don’t qualify for the lunch date, since I don’t live in the US – too bad for me, when I discovered your channel I fell instantly in love with you. True ! :oops: – but I would very much like to win the pic which will “make my ex or my future girl-friend jealous !”

By the way, what do [nerd] and [geek] mean exactly ? And where do these words come from ?

Thousand thanks and kisses. :roll:

Good work Evan…and from another comment about another comment…I guess related to the Hamitic, including Akkadian, Hebrew, Aramaic, Arabic and Amharic.

…Why you bring up only Hebrew?…langUages are commands(?behaviors) and more than literatures…writing is and are symbols

*****[culture] is food and shelter…nebulous…{clouds of know reign}(not loins)reins

[peace]

Hey Marina, I’d like to request the words [fuck] and [shit]. Of course I know how these words are generally used as an expression of anger or having sex or to describe piles of, but it’s funny how the media in general still consideres these words taboo too a certain extent,but everybody from kids to adults use these words and nobody cares, now I’m not trying to sound harsh with this because I use them too. These words were considered curse words, does that mean that they were words used to put a curse or if said over and over they would curse something or someone? I don’t know there’s no fuckin respect among people in general and even if you make a small disagreement with someone they act like they got a stick up their ass! Geez everything is getting too serious! Hey maybe you can teel the origin of [stick up your ass], and if not believe me I would understand, I know you try to keep your site clean.
Take care Marina

yeah, i understand pretty well … about your question, in spanish you can say: ¿cuál es el nombre de esta llama? instead of: ¿Cómo se llama, llama?, but both ways is good, i think, in fact, here there was like a kind of mall, that its main logo was: “te llama la llama” it was like: Llama is calling you to come…

I’ll camp with that!…

Why do we so often call peoples and countries by names other than what they call themselves, e.g. Nippon/Japan, Deutschland/Germany, Suomi/Finland, Cymru/Wales , Hellas/Greece, etc.?

:roll: :razz:

Why are there so many names for this sandwich: is it called a [submarine] sandwich because it is shaped like a submarine or [torpedo]? Does [hero] come from the pronunciation of Gyro? Where do the names [grinder], [hoagie], [po' boy], [blimpie], [zepellin] and [wedge] comefrom?

i love your videos. [bless you] like why do people say that when someone sneezes.

:smile: Your mind will answer most questions if you learn to relax and wait for the answer.

There is many places in Kirkland where you can see that the lake was much higher. In fact I walked up a small hill daily that used to be underwater.

Sometimes, it’s simply lost in translation. :mrgreen:
Donkey Kong, for example, was purported to be
a mistranslation into English, from the Japanese for Monkey Kong.
Other times, it’s just totally lost, as in the word kangaroo.
Word corruptions and redefinition to satisfy a political agenda still occur in the present day.
Marriage is defined as a coupling of a male and female component (plugs and sockets, nuts and bolts, etc.). Union is a word which defines a coupling of two (or more) alike components (flare pipe unions, trade unions, etc.). Plumbers and Auto workers belong to different unions, because of trade distinctions.
Progressive, moderate, centrist and other words are used today to signify a meaning far corrupted from their true definition.
These corruptions are intentional and meant to deceive, masking the true sinister nature of groups using them as labels. Being called “progressive” is the way a national-socialist (nazi) attains stature that would not be tolerated in a democratic republic. “Progressive” as a label, sounds “cool” compared to the “nazi” label. This has proved to be a successful means by which people are deluded into supporting political platforms considered unconscienable by a free thinking society.
PT Barnum said “There’s a sucker born every minute”. He also said “This way to the Great Egress”. By fooling people into going to “see the egress”, he led them out an exit – which meant they had to pay to get back in!

Thanks for considering, Dear Teach.

Yes Evan,

I can’t start to imagine what interesting new laws and formulas Newton would have discovered (or experimented) by taking a siesta under a coconut palm tree instead of an apple tree, and being hit on the head by a falling coconut instead of a falling apple! Can you? It would have been quite an intellectual adventure for sure!

Marina, my Twitter account is screwed up again. I feel like bailing on the dang thing. I really did sign up to follow you. Just wanted you to know.

I believe he’s lost a little bit of intellectual stamina. I have absolutely no idea of the cause of this. It may perhaps be the swine flu or something. But that doesn’t mean he’s not coming back of course, it may be just a temporary affliction!

As far as I know, he didn’t lock himself out! :smile:

:grin:

his last post on hfw is here

but he is currently posting tweets

Thanks for the information Buzz.

I vaguely seem to remember that he was also posting a lot of information on the subject of bananas and their healthiness and usefulness for humanity, their difference in size and colour, and the tremendous business opportunites in the banana growing, mass marketing, publicity and enhancing sector, but I am not a banana guru and that’s all I can say about this. I guess google.com can provide us with more educative info and tons of interesting facts about the banana global markets.

Swine flu. I just thought about something… It may be an opportunity actually!! It is a virgin territory so far!! Can we capitalize on it? Perhaps we can create a profitable niche market for swine flu? Or swine flu antidotes? :roll:

Russia won gold against Canada in international hockey today.

Four hockey players were brought in after the beginning of the tournament. It started to [ create a fair bit of flux ].

Anybody know what the part in brackets means?

Check your Twitter messages. I’m your fist follower. :-)

PK,

I just sent you a tweet (I think). It’s weird. I’ve had nothing but problems with Twitter. I think I was able to “follow” Marina, then it quit recognizing me again. Thanks for your follow. I tried to follow you, too. Guess we’ll see. I can’t get it to work consistently enough to even add a gravatar.

Man, “follow” is a strange-looking word. looks like it should be sounded FALL-ow (like “ow, my head hurts).

Or I’m just weird, maybe. Probably.

You did great!!!
I got the tweat <— as in treat :-)

OK :lol:

Well, now if it will only lock me in, so to speak, we can do something. I’ve had to change passwords three times so far.

Appreciate it, amigo!

neuroway! That’s where wordlover went wrong! It’s coconuts, I tell you, not bananas! Think COCONUTS, man!!! :mrgreen:

Thanks, PK. I’m planning to do that tomorrow if it will let me. I was a baaad boy this weekend. Only had 4 or 5 hours of sleep since Friday. My battered body just doesn’t have the recuperative powers it once did. Got to get some shut-eye.

I meant upper RIGHT, click Settings

Sleep is good. Pleasant dreams originalistrick.

Bob, thanks for the tip re reply notifications. I put a different email address in my profile and they’re coming through now. :cool:

Hi freebird,
I don’t know what it means, but from the context and the meaning of flux, where flux means flow or “the rate of flow of something through a surface”;
I might guess it is a euphemism referring to;
“creating a bit of a disturbance” or
“creating a bit of change”.

Wotta? Huh? Quomodo? Vae victuratum victuralis?

Coconuts you say? Mwwuuhuh? Coconuts…. eh?

……..
……..
………… {Neuroway thinking… Pondering the issue… }

……….

………
..

…………………..

Blimey! Yes! You may indeed have a point here! Do coconuts grow faster than bananas? Are they cheaper to produce and more resistant to whipsaw markets? And mass-marketable too? The masses need to crave for it. There’s a need to create a need for it, for sure. Perhaps a free coconut could be offered to the customer at first, for each banana sold? Or a 2 for 1 on the coconuts?

I see what you mean. In this case, sort of like an unwelcomed change. When things are very competitive, a change like this can intensify the concerns of the opposing team. Thank Karl. :smile:

” I Hit 200,000 YouTube Subscribers ”

Marina, if your Mom knew you were hitting so many subscribers, would she understand? I mean, doesn’t she want you to be nice? :razz:

Yes, freebird, I like the way you said that.

Greetings,

What about [Whab duhla babbahduhwhabahlah whambam badabooh woobalaboo kharbakhramazoof]?

I am still wondering about the origin of this expression. I am not quite sure if it’s plain english or not. It may be impregnated with some local dialect. I heard this a couple of times from a weird dude in a bar, yah, a weirdo he was, I am not sure if he was normal or not, he was, I think, half drunk to be honest. I tried to google it but it doesn’t produce any results. Perhaps I got the syntax wrong, I’m not sure.

Thanks in advance,

Neuroway

I think I forgot “babeleedee, babeleedoo” at the end of the sentence. It may very well be some old english language subtlety that I am not aware of and which is changing the whole meaning of the whole phrase. So it would be more like:

[Whab duhla babbahduhwhabahlah whambam badabooh woobalaboo kharbakhramazoof, babeleedee, babeleedoo]. :roll:

Sorry for the confusion.

Hello spipou,

In a way, Marina has been doing what you suggested. If you click “All words” in the upper left of this screen, you will see a list of the words on which she has done lessons. Time and again, she will mention the French origins of English words — “handkerchief” “curfew” and “denim” come immediately to mind. It is very clear that if we were to take all of the French out of English, we wouldn’t have much of a language left! :lol:

You will find “nerd” and “geek” in the list of word lessons she has done. Click the words, and enjoy watching these lessons! :grin:

Hola renzo22,

Mi “ex-” esposa me dijo esta noche que “xoxo” quiere decir “kisses and hugs / besos y abrasos,” pues tal vez mi cuento no es correcto. Discúlpame, por favor. :smile: Y gracias para el dicho “te llama la llama.” :lol:

The only way you could have prevented confusion is to not post any of it at all. :mrgreen:

It’s not a word; it’s a contraction.

http://www.nakedwhiz.com/spatchdef.htm

Americans say it. They just don’t use it in place of garbage.

Errin, cool stuff you put me in the mind of Peter Gabriel “old Genesis” Was this an influence for you?

“Flux” can be used in the sense of “change”, as in the phrase “it’s in a state of flux”, meaning that it’s changing, or “it’s all fluxed up”.

It’s a posh word for a button switch, such as a door bell-push; something you have to press with a digit.
It’s true I tell you. :mrgreen:

Or maybe you can conjure up a better explanation? :grin:

[ I need to piss like a Russian Racehorse ] My father and his friend’s used to say this phrase quite often whilst drinking beer. I always wondered why they used ” Russian” instead of any other country for a horse. I figured since you were Russian you might also be interested why the Russian racehorse is used for needing to pee really bad. – KDJ

Someone once told me that a llama was a sacred creature to Buddhists; could be, but I wouldn’t like Tibet on it. :grin:

:evil:

Marina, from a new subscriber who enjoyed the lessons I’ve seen so far, here is a list of words on roughly the same theme, that might be interesting to research.

[hooligan] and [vandal] and [cad] and [bounder] and [donnybrook] and [rascal]

Hope at least one of those tickles your fancy. :smile:

MARINA!!! NOOB IS SET TO BECOME THE 1MILLIONTH WORD!!
http://tech.uk.msn.com/news/article.aspx?cp-documentid=16646244

OH GOD!! I hate that word!!

But, if they are saying its set to be the millionth word, doesnt it mean it’s already a word?

you feel like bailing or bai ling? :grin:

everytime time i post a word for Marina to answer someone else thinks that posting a link to wiki or some other like site is entertaining. i could do that my self thankyou. the point of this post is to hopefuly have my teacher call on me and answer my question. thanks luckybob69

word request {blog}

Try my screen name {zwog}
ps I made it up because yahoo had already used all the other words I could think of so I started as zwog years ago……………love your site I want it done in Chinese……….I am learning Chinese and I could keep my mind on you all day…………If my Chinese teacher was hot as you are I’d be teaching her class!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
my Chinese name is 疯狂洋鬼子

can u send a naked picture of u and your sister i want it for an experiment

hey dudes, check this out. marina is a member of the society for geek advancement.

You mean you were there too? Wait a minute. I don’t remember seeing any Japanese brush-painted Redcoats at Yorktown. Hmm. Well, I must say, you seem to have aged very well! Tell you what. I’ll give you a great price on Cornwallis’ sword, only used once. Whattya say?

A one-handed experiment, no doubt. :shock:

I thought I would tell you it stands for Web blog, because you used the wrong kind of brackets, and so your request would be wrapped in yesterday’s newpaper and placed in the very bottom of M’s garbage can, right below a collection of Gorby’s uh, presents.

Along that vein, I have a court document my grandmother’s husband (he is never referred to as Grandfather) during their divorce. It refers to her as a [chippie] and a [sport], which were strong words back then. I guess those were the female equivalent of cad, bounder and the rest.

It’s probably just alliterative; it wouldn’t sound as near as grand as say, an Icelandic racehorse. (Can’t you just see an Icelandic racehorse standing over a yellow icecicle of it’s own making? :mrgreen: )

That would certainly make me kat-a-natty figure but would probably also provoke Sam-urai comments from Evan. :grin:

The Icelandic Horse.

Thanks for the compliment. Glad you liked my music, but no, was not influenced by Genesis. I am a fan of their earlier stuff, like ‘The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway’. I always thought I was too minimal to be likened to prog rock, but I’ll take the compliment. :smile:

Wry? That’s a bread we eat when there’s no wheat bread to be had.

OOOhhh, James, you naughty boy. Very good one.

How can I possibly answer that honestly? Marina would expel me permanently.

Hint: It ain’t bailing or Bai Ling.

Thanks a lot, Ewan Owen!

If I dared to ask you a little [favour] (French ! :roll: ), would you please help me about how to use twitter and register for the contest ?

Hmmmm….Good Point! :smile:

ALl of you just like biscuits
