Pajamas

First?

Well done Jack.
Homework – I haven’t worn pyjamas in decades.

Wow + WOW…Indian word…I sleep naked with my [blanket]…[ghee]

Homework:Sometimes (in summer) I don’t wear any. Other times just a t-shirt and boxers.

I miss Marina’s longer videos. I know she’s a multimedia star now but I would love to bring back the old 3 minute show. Recently, I feel lucky to get a minute. :sad:

Homework
:cool: Lesson!
I don’t wear PJ’s.

Sunday mornings huh?? Does that mean that is the only time?? :oops:

Every man who has been married knows you only need one pair of PJ’s.
He wears the pants and she wears the shirt. :mrgreen:
(Flannel, of course)

#1 – with a bullet! :mrgreen:

Homework: Although I think the cut/sizing can be improved in some places, the best PJs I have been able to find areRussell Athletic Men’s Cotton Performance Elastic Bottom Jersey Pants.

Homework: (to the tune of Battle Hymn of the Republic)

I wear my pink pajamas in the summer when it’s hot
I wear my woolen nighties in the winter when it’s not
And sometimes in the springtime and sometimes in the fall
I jump right into bed with nothing on at all!

Glory, glory hallelujah!
Glory, glory, what’s it to ya?
And sometimes in the springtime and sometimes in the fall
I jump right into bed with nothing on at all!

While we’re on the topic of clothing:

[kurta]
[skirt]
[shirt]

What’s the common root? :grin:

Homework: I wear full pajamas pants. I even wore them at work during my shift on the cruise ship ‘Island Spirit’. I did the night shift and would get a bit chilly at night.
My boss wore some funny pajama pants out in view of the passengers. Since when have you ever seen a Captain/owner of a small cruise ship run around in pajamas? That’s the idea of what make Fantasy Cruises the best small ship for a vacation. Yes there is a bit of luxury around us, but we try to make you feel more at home by kicking off our own shoes. We even get passengers to show up for breakfast in their pajamas. The idea of a vacation is to relax. You can’t fully relax if your getting all dolled up for just for breakfast. So light of the idea, I bought some average Joe pajama bottoms.

One of the passengers asked “How come Jeff (Captain/Owner) has better pants than you have?” as he smiled jokingly. Let the games begin! I went out to Fred Meyers to buy up 7 pairs of pajama pants. I wore pirate/boating/passenger given t-shirts. Then on a completely new group of passengers one guy said to Jeff “How come Jack has better pajama pants than you have?” Jeff had the ‘Deer in headlights look’. After several weeks he bought a few more pairs. Our collection of funny pajama pants started to grow. I’m up to 12 or 14 pairs. I have pirate pants with flaming skulls, Family Guy pants mostly with Stewie wanting world domination, and my flaming hot fire pants. Guaranteed to burn your eyes out. I was wearing these things so much it nearly became my uniform.This is good for I hate wearing my funny looking Captain outfit. No, I wasn’t required to wear them it was a choice to instill confidence to the passengers. If a fireman showed up to your front door wearing only a t-shirt and blue jeans you wouldn’t think he was serious about fighting your fire. That said, I only wear it on the first day. After than we all wear a polo shirt and docker pants or shorts. There is like only 6 or 7 crew member so it doesn’t take long to figure out who is crew or not.

How many can say they have piloted a 130 foot ship while wearing flaming pajama pants? How many of you would have paid to see the look on some passengers faces when they walk up to the bridge and see me driving the boat looking the way I did? Priceless!!! :mrgreen:

You pronounced the Indian way of saying pajamas correctly. How did you learn that pronunciation?

Funny I was just visiting YouTube to look up a guru for someone and seen Marina new video. It was only 20 minutes old and I zipped right over. I have the slowest computer on the face of this planet and didn’t think I could make it in time. It was all pure luck I guess. :smile:

:razz: Women In Uniform …

…what kind of pajamas do nuns wear?…

:smile:

Oh I <3 that sexy beauty mark on your arm Marina. :smile:

Who let the cat out of the Pajamas?

I don’t wear pajamas. I like to sleep in just boxer shorts and no top even in the winter time.

I don’t use pajamas. I sleep in plain black sweat pants. Now, as a kid I did have the pajamas with the feet :oops:

:shock: [bra] :razz: a bra-arb a

I have a word:

[Item]

Thanxs!!

Now that’s an image I need to get out of my head. :shock:

Too much work, ain’nt cufan71?… no clothes(Kata(m)arina :wink:

I’ve been wondering now that you have a mere 15.25 million views to the big 200 million.

Can we, your humble students, expect something special for the occasion?

I would like to request the phrase [off the hook or off the chain].

:lol: [deadline] :razz: A child has a curfew and that is reason for sleep-wear. :idea: :smile:

:lol: It’s Sunday morning, you know what that means, right :?: It’s time to get out those super sharpie pen markers on and start working on those crossword puzzles :idea: :arrow:
http://everythingandnothing.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/2007/11/13/pajamagram_1971_5527606.gif

i would like to request the meaning of the word [mayonnaise]. my roommate and i were making tuna salad and were wondering about the origin of mayonniase. it is so nasty looking that we were thinking that is must have been a mistake! please let us know! :smile: :smile:

Hey Marina! Love your videos, they’re awesome. I wanted to ask you about the origin of a musical term [Strophic] in referring to a specific form of music. Considering a majority of musical terms derive from Latin and Italian origins, I wanted to know exactly where it originally came from. Thanks so much!

The type of pajamas I wear typically depends on my mood. I have anything from fleece to silk pajama bottoms. I mostly wear pajama pants in the winter and fall seasons mostly (especially during the winter seasons, so I can enjoy tea or hot chocolate by a warm fireplace). :smile:

Flannel pajamas are great… except when it gets too warm in the summer.

Hmmmn…

This forum needs a splash of colour :idea:

Guess which colour :smile:

Hi Marina,

Although i am a fairly frequent YouTube user, I first came across You tonight when I was randomly surfing and I must say, like many others I see, I am already a fan. I wish I have had the same level of creatism when I was teaching English. I think my Brazilian students would have participated a great deal more, although I would have a hard time adapting your way of dressing…mostly because I am a guy and not trans in any way!! :-P

Dispite your hard efforts and healthy appearence one word came to my mind whilst going through some of your lessons…. [procrastination]…. lovely word isn’t it??? So I hope you will take on this little word endevour and make me one word clevere in the (al)most pleasent way I can imagine… ;-)

Respect and greetings,

Mark (Denmark)

i wear flannel pants & a t-shirt…or nothing… :cool:

and here’s a bold question: who wears undies under their pjs? i never heard of such until i moved down here to GA…and my ex does, & has the kids doing it, too…

sheesh, if AnnudderBoy has to pee, he had to take down the pajama pants AND the underwear…too much work!

on an unrelated topic: I’m pretty sure Marina will appreciate this YouTube vid…kisses, tom

I Don’t do pajamas except at requests and then only with the correct woman in the correct place at the correct time and in the correct frame of mine. Unlike those Donkey Punchers whom prefer sloppy seconds.

In italian the spelling is P I G I A M A… whatever…
i prefer cotton elasticized ones, absolute comfort, no pants… i want to be free during the night… :razz:
hey i found a word to ask you dear Teacher Marine [comfort]

che, you have a head? :mrgreen:

Actually in my case, most of the time I don’t wear anything.

Hope so, otherwise I’ve got a few hats that are going to go to waste. :grin:

i dislike pajamas

I would like to request the word

Let’s try this again: I would like to request the word [nit-wit].

WORD REQUEST: [ recalcitrant ]

I would like to request the word
OK, two words :mrgreen:
Spendthrift
Tightwad

I would like to request the word [smorgasbord] :mrgreen:

I would like too request the word : Pansy
Since there are good and bad phrases for it haha :) :mrgreen:

PJ’s ?
Grey tank top shirt & briefs are standard issue.

Darlin you look good in anything you wear.

Love the tie dye top, fits you well.

My favorite pajamas are the ones on your body :twisted:

Personally, I can’t sleep with clothes on, I’ve slept in my B-Day suit since I was like 11.

:mrgreen: Only a T-shirt on cold nights. Other wise nothing but sheets.

I’d like to request a phrase [look ma no ...] For example: “look ma no handles”.

No PJs for me…they twist up, bunch up, creep up, or give me wedgies! :mad:

It’s too hot in Florida for me to wear pajamas, even during the winter months, or in the summertime with the AC on. So I sleep in my birthday suite! :wink:

Mon deux … inspector Clouseau, a clue;-)

I like the pajamas with the break-away crotch or the doody-drop bottom…lol

I’m sure you could look like Captain Ron and your excellant seamanship will show thru. :wink:
Speaking of pants, my brother is a chef and they seem to have some kind of obsession with those funky chef pants. He even has the flaming hot fire ones! Hes constantly showing me new ones.
Its interesting what you said about comfort. In ’92, my girlfriend and I took a cruise on “The Big Red Boat.” Ft. Lauderdale/Grand Bahamas/Key West(Sloppy Joes…YES! :twisted: ). The first night we’re out, I show up at dinner in a tank top and shorts. While waiting for our drinks, the head waiter came to our table and softly brought to my attention that everybody else had on jackets and ties and where was mine. I felt like an idiot. :cry: The rest of the cruise I had to wear my one pair of pants and one button down shirt every night because the booking agent was quite vocal about the “relaxed, casual dining atmosphere” and I was stupid enough to listen! Overall, the Bahamas are fantastic and Key West was more for Perez Hilton :shock: , even back then. Except Sloppy Joes. Sloppy Joes rocks :!:

.

Now if only you were that observant when proofreading your posts! :razz: :razz: :razz:

I would like to request the word [bass] as in bass guitar and why it is pronounced differently as in bass fish.

It’s OK to kiss a nun, as long as you don’t get into the habit. :mrgreen:

My pajamas? Depends on the season. Minnesota has freezing winters and sweltering summers. Flannel pjs during the winter and boxers in the summer!

So, I was mopping up at work tonight and used the phrase [elbow grease] to describe what I was using to get the nasty stains off the floor. When and where did the phrase [elbow grease] first originate?

BTW Captain Jack, since you mentioned leaving Seattle, where are you bound for? :neutral: I mean, it’s great making friend in cyberspace, but there’s a different sense of connection that comes from referring to the same landmarks (Gas Works Park, the Space Needle, Mount Rainier, HC Locks, etc.) (I used to live in Wallingford.)

I really like baggy cotton PJs, they’re good for Ohio.

:grin:

Hello Marina,

I must say, the title photo of you with the glasses, book, and, umm…”pajamas” :?: REALLY lived up to your moniker of “sexy geek.” :grin:

You’re at your best when you look natural. :smile:

I don’t wear any cloths in bed :roll: I prefer to sleep totally naked :shock:

Man I love that! Thanks, leonard!

Enjoyed the lesson, Marina.

(If those are pajamas, I’d love to see what you call lingerie!)

HW: Nada. Zip. Zilch.

Marina,

Have a safe and fun trip. Looking forward to lotsa pictures.

I just wear PJ’s to bed when its cold, gets to hot around here in the summer os i just wear shorts to bed.

Random question:

How come pizza hut calls their chicken wings, [buffalo wings]?

Unless…they really are made of buffalo…

pajamas are so binding. they don’t turn with you. they bunch up in areas that aren’t comfortable. and they make you sweat. i prefer undies or less.

[hustle & bustle]

I sleep with the window wide open because I’m hard core. But,
not hard core enough to appreciate silk pajamas. Actually, one size larger silk boxers, and one size larger silk T-shirt, purchased on sale, serve as PJs. When the bitter cold of winter comes, I switch the tops to polyester fleece with a hood. Not classy, but it works.

Hello Marina,

I just signed up for your site, I’ve been watching you on YouTube for months but I finally had a word that I’d like for you to explain to me please.

The word is [Windfall] You know, like a sudden windfall of money or something to that nature.

Oh and as far as the homework is concerned my favorite kind of pajamas are plain old, “old clothes.”

Thanks for looking at my comment, I love the site, and I’ll be coming around more often, have a nice day!

Marina: You mention doggie pajamas but how about the [cat's pajamas]? Where did that come from, and what did it mean?

HW: Favorite PJ’s are whatever is least binding, while adequately warm. Summertime = limited coverage (boxers only). It would be nothing at all, but I like to be prepared for emergencies.

I don’t wear pajamas. Sometimes I just wear boxers and maybe a shirt (Or a few time I’m bottomless with just the shirt, depending on the mood). And it also depends on the season: cold winter = twice the thermal wear, hot summer = completely nude.

And Jessica Simpson has asked….. :mrgreen:

I saw the vid on May 1st, when it was one of the promoted videos on YouTube. And even reviewing it, it’s still funny! :-)

:twisted: I like naked sometimes

I wear pajamas around the house. They’re just so comfortable.

I would like to request the word [philanthropy] from the Greek to ‘love people’ as I do you :smile:

Pink with bunnies on a former Helmut Newton model in San Diego

I mostly wear any of my old t-shirts and light pants.

you’ve forgotten to mention that, since the name got adopted in England, the spelling was pYjamas, before the Americans changed spellings.

That Michelle Nunes has those twinkly Christie Brinkley eyes. Mmmmm….

She will retire, marry a rich hotel chain owner, have five kids and two more dogs and suffer from terrible, terrible stretch marks (from the dogs).

You mean going to your waist. :mrgreen:

Who? Who?

They wear just enough sack cloth to cover their ashes.

From the thumbnail, I would say M deserves the Nobel Prize for Economics — she sure stimulated my package. :mrgreen:

Lol :sad: I wasn’t asking what they’re made of

I was wondering why chicken wings are sometimes referred to as buffalo wings.

 
Excellent video lesson Marina.
What a serendipitous coincidence of you mentioning the Muslims in India and that the Indian word probably came from the Persian word paejamah.

Yesterday, I was talking to a very educated Catholic man from Pakistan, but all of his family is Muslim. He was reading a newspaper in his native tongue Urdu, and he gave me an extensive history lesson in how to write in his native script and the Persian influence in his country and India. He mentioned how the Persian language was one of the most beautiful and poetic languages. that’s one of the languages I want to learn besides Sanskrit and many others.

Nice Advertisement –> Pajamagram –> Send the gift of Relaxation. –>

No, we won’t get fooled again.

 
I liked that crossword puzzle behind you that said;
“What is your favorite type of pajamas”.
I tried to complete 18 down, but you moved and I
accidentally got ink on your nose.
Can I borrow your #2 pencil again?
Do you do your crossword puzzles in ink
or #2 pencil and eraser? :grin:

Tommy That’s Who

Wasn’t he The Pinball [Wizard]?

This will have to do, Marina is busy packing.

Homework: I go to bed in my B’day suit! :oops: :lol:

Word Request: Since we’re talking clothing today, where did the word ‘tuxedo’ come from?

Cheers!

Why you juvenile delinquent. :cool:

Hi,

I just found interesting the expression [mouse potato] in order to describe someone who tends to spend a great deal of leisure time in front of computer…

Can you investigate this?

And congratulations for your work…

One day a man came home and was greeted by his wife, dressed in a very sexy ‘nightie’. ‘Tie me up’, she purred, ‘and you can do anything you want’.So, he tied her up and went golfing.I don’t condone this kind of behaviour. ;-)

AMERICAN of the Great Lakes…Dead Boys “Sonic Reducer”…The group’s roots lay in the early-’70s Cleveland cult band Rocket from the Tombs, which included future Dead Boys Cheetah Chrome (aka Gene O’Connor) on guitar, and Johnny Blitz (aka John Madansky) on drums, along with future Pere Ubu members David Thomas and Peter Laughner. :lol:

The Dead Boys were one of the first punk bands to escalate the level of violence, {[nihilism]} :razz: , and pure ugliness of punk rock to extreme new levels. Although considered part of New York’s mid-’70s CBGB’s scene, all of its bandmembers originally hailed from Cleveland, OH.

… :lol: :smile: splash

:smile: …Pajama Party – Hide And Seek (1990)…nothing changes; dislike hate :wink:

Hope Marina packs this item before she heads off Cannes.

Wrong colour but to say they make a splash is an understatement :smile:

Vid not available in your country :roll:

I like to sleep in the nude, but if I need to wear something, I would go with boxer briefs or athletic shorts in the warm season, and sweat pants and sweat shirt in the cold season.

Now as for Marina, I would like to see her in a teddy. :razz:

My definite favorite pajamas are ones with you in.

CRAZY or what?…Paul Mauriat – Love is blue- (for Remembering)…you got me before…hot buttered POPPed corn it is not

GOD BLESS you: why are not, your country available videos? :sad:

…it was a coffee break, I tell no lazy lies :lol:

I wear panties and a t-shirt, my girlfriend wears the same.

Is a cruciverbalist somone who crucifies verbally by having a crossword with you? I heard it caused by a Sunday moaning hangover.

:razz:

I don’t wear pajamas, buff is best! :razz:

This lesson was 12th on Most Viewed in under 18 hours.

The 2009 Preakness Stakes (134th running of the Preakness Stakes) will take place on May 16, 2009 — any plans for the horse-racing crowd that showed up here for the Kentucky Derby lesson?

My favorite PJ’s are, of course Marina, the one’s you wear.

Marina!

My fellow HotForWords fans and I are arguing over [the difference between coquette and vamp].

Can you clear it up for us?

Thanks!

i -> I
You -> you
I have had-> I’d had
creatism -> creativity

Like nomusician, I wear pyjamas – thick ones in winter and thin ones at other times of the year, although I do sometimes go naked when I am [hot and bothered] e.g. after seeing one of your videos, красивая Marina. :lol:

I always wear a ghillie suit :razz:

Gorby’s breed reminds me of the Seattle weather this spring. As Captain Jack will tell you, it’s been a “Bitchin’ Freeze.” :mrgreen:

thats scary lmao :smile:

My two-bits worth is that a [coquette] is a flirt, but a [vamp] is a seductress. :???:

What is it with the British and their puns? :razz:

Must be size XXXL for you both to fit into them! :razz:

I thought Sanskrit was an unwritten language. :mrgreen:
{Bob, explain it to him. I think it falls under "Fractured French."} :lol:

Come on now staircapades. Don’t you know buffalo have been genetically modified to fly like a pig? Wait. That should be squeal like a bird. Hold on, I think I must be getting the buffalo flu….

It’s a deeply entrenched and ancient tradition bestowed on us by Hobbits. :smile:

So, my grandpa likes to use the phrases [bee's knees] and [cat's pajamas] to describe things that are cool. Ex: HotForWords is the cat’s pajamas, and intelligence is the bee’s knees!

It would be nice to know the origin of one of these phrases. :-)

Pajamas…..I don’t need no stinking PAJAMAS! :twisted:

Interesting. The video lessons have been somewhat on the short side timewise these days, but they’ve stayed just as informative as the other lessons. It’s just great that Marina is able to keep up with putting out the lessons while being an international jet setter! :lol:

As for pajamas, I liked them as a kid, but now as an adult they aren’t in my life much. I just sleep in my boxers or sometimes starkers. It’s just more comfortable that way. I do have a pair of pajama pants lying around somewhere tho for if I have company or am traveling with/to company. But I haven’t used them lately.

On a side note, I was able to mail off a copy of my lo fi limited edition CD to your fanmail address, Marina. I hope it finds you in due time (like, post-Cannes), and that you enjoy it when you hear it. And if you were still thinking of putting some of my music in one of your videos, you’ll have all 17 songs of mine to choose from, instead of just the 10 on my myspace page. You haven’t even heard the roughest, rawest tracks yet! :twisted:

Thanks again for another cool lesson, and have a great time in France. Peace and love, Errin : )

p.s. And, for those interested, my music can be heard at
http://www.myspace.com/errinfamilia

:razz: :mrgreen: :lol: My recommended feed…Перцы /Perci/ – Марина /Marina/…nice song, called Marina :smile: [Persian Cat]p.j.’s :lol:

I would like to request the word [superfluous]. A friend of mine uses it to describe a state of wellbeing, however it is my understanding that it means excessive.

I have only just arrived on this site but have watched your Youtube videos for a while. Well done. I do have to agree that knowledge is sexy and I would like to congratulate you on destroying stereotypes – yours being the dumb blonde – since I also like to play this game in my job as a bouncer.

After I put my PJ’s on, somtimes my wife gives me some [Head Cheese]

Mmm definitely Babydoll P.Js.

It depends on my mood, were I am at and the time of year. Short legged ones right now.

Привет красавица-филолог,

Объясни, пожалуйста, слово [badass]. Это одно из моих самых любимых слов своего родного языка (англиский, конечно).

Also, I sleep in nothing but my boxer briefs.

Спасибо за твои замечательние уроки.

Dan

P.S. Кстати как должен обратить человеку по интернету, на “Ð’Ñ‹” или на “Ñ‚Ñ‹”?

Wow, what a great site! You seem to have a beautiful mind, spirit and body :wink:

I have been seeking a lot of new information on the web recently and had a discussion with some of my friends on why we refer to our cars as “whips” I have a feeling it is because we are slaved to them financially what with the crazy lease terms and the amount we overpay for them and such… but my request is for the word [whip] in the context of a vehicle

Keep up the good work i would be happy to help you in any way i can

My favorite sleeping atiar is my birthday suit unless their are people in the room then the farthest I go is my paints if its really hot unless its a girl and she’s hot then its back to the b-day suit

how you doin’

I would like to request the word [cocktail]

Hmm, how about [yes] and [no]

I never heard of whip meaning a car. When did you first hear of it? Have you seen it in print anywhere? When you first heard it, did you wonder what it means?

Vamp also part of a shoe.

NO APOSTROPHE!

Sorry, but using an apostrophe to indicate the plural is a pet peeve. I have already killed 769 people over it and I am starting to feel a little crotchety right now, so watch it.

Do you mean a crossword or a cross word? If the former, they will have a pen or pencil with them to stab you in the side.

Did you mean a moaning hangover or a morning hangover? I suppose one is an order of magnitude worse than the other.

That’s a new one. It wouldn’t work at all if mouse weren’t a strained rhyme of couch. For example, trackball potato would just leave people wondering what you are talking about (unless they were really clever, had heard of mouse potato and could connect the dots).

My favorit word is Navel-what is the origin of the word [NAVEL] please

I always thought it was pyjamas with a “y” – maybe that is the British version?!

Anyway – I haven’t worn such things since I was 13 – much more comfortable without!

Nick

Dearest Marina,
I’m a high school ESL teacher and also, your biggest fan. Could you research the word [guinea] for me and explain how it came to be used to refer to Italians in the US?
THEMAGDUDE

Don’t be a heel. :razz:

Hello hotforwords;
Can you tell us where the term [Native American] comes from? I do not seem to recall hearing it until some time in the 1970′s and after that it became quite common. Thank you.

hey Marina,

I was wondering if you also do the origins of names.. if you do id liek to request the name jason please. ive heard that it comes from a few different origins but i dont know which if true. thanks

how about [tongue in cheek]?

I would like to request the word [culture]

I would like to request the word [afFIRMation]. I have a “positive” perspective regarding this word; however, upon looking it up, among the several definitions, yes, those definitions ARE positive EXCEPT from a LEGAL perspective. Perhaps this is one of the reasons our legal system needs to be reorganized, at least here in the good ‘ol US of A. :?:

I wood like to know the phrase [poopdeck], where it came from and what is it really, i think the meaning will surprise people, its a location on a ship, but its not what you think its use for

how about [flippant] ?

How about [limerick] and [homage]?

Herewith an example combining both of the above.

A teacher there is of philology,
Well versed in [subtle] psychology,
With feminine [charms],
Mistrust she disarms,
In studies that need no [apology].

Not many replies happening today are there? How unsociable.. perhaps its a bad day my video has done AWFULLY!! I think my first video ever got more views in the first hours than this has got so far

Same here.

Ask Captain Jack he explained all of that in a past lesson and I believe Marina followed up with a response. It was very interesting how the name came about. :smile:

Both. Either cross word or crossword and the same with morning and moaning. But, the the bit about the pen or pencil – ouch! Too violent. Unless its a cryptic crossword puzzle, then it’s justified.

Cruci + verbalist The first part, cruci, is really “a cross” but also looks like crucify as in to criticize harshly.

I’d like to request 2 words…
1) “prevaricate”
2) “Faith”

I’d love to hear your philological view on these 2
subjects. :lol:

I would like to request the word [jumping jacks]. I would like to know the origin of the word.

You do remember the Crucifixion and the stabbing in the side, don’t you? (Not that you were there to see it.)

Maybe the subject of pajamas is not as intellectually sparkly as one would hope.

Marina, Can you do [circumcised]?

I would like to know where the term “Kick the bucket” came from.

My Dear Teacher…

PHRASE REQUEST: What is the origin of [ crying crocodile tears ]? :sad:

…and [ glib ]

… and [ foot in mouth ]

and how about a [ highball ] or [ hi-ball ]

Never heard of it… however, if you view the relationship as the vehicle owns “you”, instead of the other way around, then [ whip ] would be a reasonable metaphor.

[lay] and [lie]

I enjoy speaking the word [saloon] but there aren’t any saloons to speak of. I’m curious of the origin of [saloon] as well as the downfall of the word.

I certainly hope not — she jumps around a lot. :mrgreen:

I seem to remember that a saloon is also a type of horse-pulled coach. I don’t think it carried over to autos though.

Hi joe canadian,
Very good requests. The word [prevaricate] is an interesting word and I second the request for the origin of that word. The word [faith] is also very interesting. I think I may have requested it myself many months ago.

I would venture to say she only does mule skinners then.

My favorite pajama is the air one.
As in nothing at all.

Good point… :shock: …. Sometimes puns are unavoidable :???:

Its mostly a rap thing a lot of rappers refer to their cars as whips but also you can whip some dope and i means to distribute it and double it up if you whip it right

Not a fan of pajamas myself, just give me a pair of boxers and a t-shirt/a-shirt (optional, depending on temp.). :neutral:

haha – well, I get your point and I rarely hate people, so do not worry. However, you take the liberty of making some conclusions on my behalf, that I do not completely agree with. First of all, did it not occur to you that the “lack” of English skills might be a subtle provocation? A cry for help from a poor student? Secondly, the provocation was not of a flirtatious kind, simply a friendly teaser. Sort of like this little chat.

….and btw… cuter than me? How do you come to that conclusion?

I do wear Pajamas… esp. in da winter. Wanna party?

I like all kinds of pajamas. The flannel ones, teddies, lacey panties, latex, robes ….. huh? OH! What **** I **** wear! That’s different!
(oleaginous)

Bicycler shorts (weird but WOW-comfortable!)

On occasions I just fall asleep on the bed or sofa with what I’m wearing, as way too tired. P-jays I have rarely ever used. Otherwise in bed I wear shorts, sometimes with a T-shirt. Prefer sleeping in the nod as have a well comfy bed, which I’m missing right now :smile:

Night HFWs

Thanks!

thank u for elaborating the origin of the word.
only on thing!
the pronunciation of the word in Persian was wrong.

I want to add something related to origin of the word. As you explained the word is the combination of two parts: 1. pae which means foot and 2. Jameh which means cloth or something that cover. pajamas means a cloth that covers our feet

This might seem dumb: but I had seen in the eaarly 80′s Dianne Sawyer on 60 MINUTES embarass a poor unemployed man living in the housing projects sleeping until noon and in his pajamas at noon! So, I decided more to sleep in my sweats so no one could ambush me on TV for sleeping until noon in my pajamas! But when I was a TA at MSU in 1985 many male students came into the Help Room wearing their sweats or running suits; so I figured that must be a new style of casual attire-lounging around in my sweat clothes, running clothes or whatever: Jogging suits.
