You’re so money!!!!!
I love the “raw” footage of you and Gorby.
Who needs lighting and makeup with a complexion like yours. :grin:

Awesome video :!:

Dear Marina,
Congratulations on exceeding 200 Million! It’s because you’re so beautiful and you make such wonderful videos. It was great to see you enjoy a wonderful time in Orlando, and watch the Lakers win an exciting game Thursday! You have a nice tan, now. I’m glad you wore your bikinis so much! :razz:
I hope I can still see you when you reach 500 Million views! :razz:

CONGRATULATIONS, DEAR TEACH!!!!!

Wow! What is there to say? I’m proud and happy for you beyond words, Marina. What was your life like 3 or 4 years ago, and today…it must be overwhelming sometimes.

I just want to add my thanks to you for envisioning HFW and and allowing us the privilege of being a small part of your life. You educate us, entertain us, and naughtify us as no one else could. You make me feel special every time I’m here.

Continued success, Sweet Teach. On to 300 million and more!

Always.

That is great, greatestpotential!

[I would like to request the word- "CARICATURE". Thanks! ;-) ]

Cool. thx greatestpotential!

Wow! 200mil. That’s a lot. I mean, really a tremendous amount of influence. Canned rats! Lady M. Awesome job!

so very well said :cool: originalistrick :!:
thank you for your partisipation ;-)
and nice thoughts & comments :idea:

I’m getting a big bunch of NADA on YT :x

Congratulations on 200 million views, Marin! I knew it was only a matter of time. Keep up the good work! :smile:

Hmmm. I’m getting a distinct feeling of deja vu, like I’ve already seen this comment.

Thanks. You’re welcome Marina and may you have much more continued success :!:

You damn good Joe!

Man, YT really is FUBAR at the moment!

Well, I do the best with what I got and even pick up on some tech stuff here which helps. Aprish ;-)

lol@FUBAR

You deserve it, you work so hard at times.

Like the time in Hawaii and the time in Cannes and the time in Florida and the time......LOL :mrgreen:

I wish I could work that hard :lol: :mrgreen:

Congratz Miss M. on 200 million Video views. :smile: I hope we are all here when you reach 300 million views. :grin:

:cool:

It makes me tired just watching her :roll: .

BTW Cap, hope you’ve been staying out of the rain. We have been getting some pretty serious precip up here. I can just barely keep up with cutting the grass.

Hey PK9 whaaaaassssuuuppp. I need some help with some coyotes around my place. :lol: They moved in about a year ago and now they have grown in pack size. We have been told just to shoot them by Game Wardens as they are a danger to our little animals. So now you need to ask Marina or Jack to get you a special colored border to show you are a TA. :cool: Wish you all the best Kent. ;-)

I know what you mean. I would like to be her bag handler and carry Gorby in his bag. :mrgreen:

Okay, I’m not EVEN gonna go there…. :roll:

Miss M you said you snuck Gorby on the plane and he went through x-ray. You’ll know when he has had to much when he starts to glow in the dark or develops two tails. :lol:

We have been getting some storms about every afternoon because of the heat and the humidity. So I have to cut mine once a week any way. I cut even in the rain if it isn’t lightening. It feels good. I have a
hat umbrella. :lol:

word it [stargate] or [computer] were it came from.

:lol:
@Capman911

Gorby would have lots of glow n’ the dark friends then :idea:

I would like to request the word [chad] as in “hanging chad”. How did these little punch-outs in computer cards get this name?

:lol: That was cool. Glow in the dark dogs. Put that gene in a hunting dog and you could find him at night when your coon hunting.

:cool:

can you find the origin of the word [shop] please?

whole numbers are so passé.

What? Hey, wait a minute. You don’t have a colored border, so why do I have to get one? Is that like the sign you put on the car that says, “student driver” but it’s really for the new TA? Okay just jivin’. Good to hear from you (whasssuuuuuup).

Sounds like you’re in a pickle, Mike.

They used to put out poisoned meat here on the West Coast, in an old tire hung from a fencepost, but it kills every carnivorous critter for miles: hawks, buzzards, eagles, falcons, foxes, raccoons, crows, seagulls, skunks, badgers, you name it. That ain’t the way. Now I can’t claim to know what’s best for the place where you live (the surrounding lands, that is) because I’ve never been there, but here are my general thoughts.

On the one hand, coyotes and other medium-sized predators like foxes and bobcats are the first sign of an ecosystem that’s coming back into its natural state of balance. It means small game is abundant, which in turn indicates stable plant communities and waterways. Pat yourself on the back, that’s gotta be a good thing.

On the other hand, there are a lot more livestock management problems to consider if coyotes are even in the picture, as you pointed out. So you’ll have to decide whether it’s more important to have a healthy ecosystem or free-range livestock. If the coyotes were to get “surgically removed,” the animals that would nornally be their prey (rodents, mostly) will surely overpopulate.

Stuff starts to slide in weird ways when a balanced system gets thrown out of whack like that. The rabbits reproduce like, well, like rabbits. Mice are pretty similar, so in a warm climate it’s not unreasonable to anticipate exponential growth when the stress of predation is suddenly removed from their population. They can get really hungry, too.

Often, chemical rodent poisons and 30-30 rounds are the cheapest short-term solution but the local ecosystem suffers over the long haul, and the damage is usually reflected on the landscape and any plant and animal species which should be native to it as a result. Poisons eventually find their way into the innocent members of the habitat area like the birds, fish, amphibians and reptiles, as everything downstream is usually affected. But you already knew that.

So you’re in a pickle, my friend. Kinda tough when the costs come into play, as I’m sure you’re aware. My advice is to find a way to take as few coyotes as possible while you focus on improving livestock security and getting some cage traps so any captured animals can be relocated or neutered by Fish and Game… Yeah, I know I’m dreaming–there’s no funding for stuff like that, and they probably just shoot ‘em.

Just the same, if you can figure out a way to let them do their thing out in the wild (if there is any, that is), there’ll be a lot less rodents in the county. That means less fleas and ticks, also. That’s my 2 cents. Good luck with that. [][]

[chad] would be interesting. :grin: Happy you’re at 200 million views. I’d be curious what that bandwidth cost Youtube to deliver. Once you knew that you could add a percentage figure as profit, split that with Youtube and self-define the revenue you’ll earn from the web presence as well as from the print products. I will always buy your canned book smell spray because I know it’s bookworm friendly. :mrgreen: and I know your fans love you for just being you, Marina. But we’re also happy to $hare with you… after what you’ve shared with us. By the way, your snotty sister needs to be known online at a site called PARTY GIRL (Eonline I think). If you do a Hotforwords search there…NOTHING! And we KNOW that trampy sister of yours IS a PARTY GIRL!!!!!!
http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/hwood_party_girl/index.html

have you tried any acme products?

dude, capman does have a colored border, like red. it’s not an indication of t.a. status. having a colored border actually indicates that the individual is nothing but trouble and should be avoided. you should avoid anyone with a colored border.

 
Congratulations Marina on another milestone
and many more to come. :smile:
Loved the video footage.

200 Million Video Views!!!!! Congratulations Marina!! It’s all about exposure :) and words of course. ;) The sky is the limit! Go Marina, go go go go go go

… and transient integers are so fleeting and round.

Hello Marina,
No graphs of the U.S. or dancing?
Congratulations.
What’s that saying?- “If I only had a nickel…”

scientific notation (2. X 10^8) would have been more scholarly.

I had one of those rocket sleds once but I forgot to tie myself on. It wasn’t pretty, I can tell you that. Oregon almost declared war, but ended up settling out of court. :cool:

:razz: Congratulations Marina my dear teacher it is totally awesomer that you have achieved so much in such a short amount of time, we love your work and who you are teacher so keep up the good work keep doing what youre doing we love you the way you are and dont ever change the things that make you our dear teacher. Good luck and good fortune for the next 200 M; We will be watching!! Tell that naughty sister of yours she needs to be nicer to you after all look what youve been able to achieve for the both of you. Please congratulate Nerd Girl for me also, I think Nerd Girl is a bit of a sleeper hit the super nerds like me love her too dear teacher!! :cool:

His border looks black on my PC. Do I have to go look at it on the Mac before you start laughing, “Made you look!” or can I just say I did and leave it at that?

Who said chimps can see color anyway? That’s not in the text…

Totally! Darnit!

Marina, my teacher,

Since it’s baseball season, I would like to request the word [bunt]. When a batter sticks his bat out and tries to hit the ball with his bat parallel to the ground, without swinging it, he is said to be trying to bunt the ball. I’m a lifelong baseball fan and never thought to trying to figure out what it meant until I discovered your videos. You’re flabbergasting genius!!! Wow, where did that word [flabbergasting] come from?? Flab???
Gas??? Both are jobs for “hotforwords.”

Your admiring student,

Thanks!

jimi hendrix plays piano and violin rare footage 1967
[VIOLIN]…the jimi hendrix experience in 1967 fooling around in the studio. see jimi playing piano and violin. i particularly like when jimi pretends to play the violin with his teeth.hehe. the man had a great sense of humour. mabye this video was an attempt to record some promo film for a song as jimi is seen singing along with the tracks. the songs featured are Burning of the midnight lamp and The wind cries mary. very rare black and white footage. :razz:

Great advice, Kent. There’s usually trouble to be had by tampering with nature, like what happened when alien species were introduced and then got out of control,especially in vulnerable ecosystems like Pacific Islands.
The best way to conserve a healthy ecosystem is the same as the best way to conserve a healthy penis – just leave it alone – don’t fuck with it. :lol:

Not to copy you, greatestpotential, but earlier I was working on something for the same occasion and I was wondering if you could show me how to do it the way you do

Oh and good job. I was going to put ” You bet your assets” but they wouldn’t let me.

Congratulations, Marina! What’s next? Will you be leaving us lowly denizens of the internet for a permanent place among the stars of the Hollywood stratosphere? :cry:

Hi Marina! I would like to know the origin of [rainbow]. I understand why “rain” would be part of the term, but why “bow”? Thank you!

Congratulations HotForWords!

Congratulations Marina :razz:
The best teacher in the world!!!! :grin:

Not exactly a “word” request but more of a question…

When, where and how did English originate? If derived from Latin etc; When, where, which and how was the first language formed and evolved to hundreds of different languages used today?

Can you please find or tell me the meaning and origins of the word [LUA]. It’s my last name and I don’t know what it means or where it comes from.

hey umm I’m a guitarist and I was wondering if you could find out the origin of [guitar] thanks!! :grin:

congratulations marina! thats quite an achievement! :mrgreen:

i was wondering where the word [snack] came from?

Hey! I was wondering if you could tell me the origin of the word: [Infidel]. Thank you very much!

I would like to request the word [secret]

I know that lua, in portuguese means moon :grin:

Congratulations Marina!

You’re one of the best people I know (out of many),

Marina, I was wondering on the iTunes podcasts, why this and episodes before “Big Words aren’t up there.

Also…
I failed my History test!!! They said that Amazon women cut off their LEFT breast not their right!!! They also said G.O.L.F stands for Gentlemen Only, Ladies (may) Follow. What the heck!!

I’d like to request [Motherboard]

<– Fuchsia :shock:

EXACTLY!! :grin:

Evan is right, xcentriq. These are great questions but they can’t be answered in a single lesson.

To understand the answers to all 8 of your questions requires at least a semester-long college-level course in linguistics, and probably more than that. I spent months learning about this in a classroom environment and we barely scratched the surface. Perhaps it would be easier if you narrowed your focus to a single question.

If this subject is intriguing to you, I’d also like to suggest doing some internet searching on subjects like:

historical linguistics,
Baugh and Cable’s “A History of the English Language,”
William Labov,
development of speech,
proto-Indo-European,
emergence of civilizations (for the ‘how’ and ‘where’ questions), and
physical anthropology (for the ‘when’ questions).

Best of luck. :smile: It’ll be interesting to see what you can find out.

“Hello”

:o I’m horrible at explaining tech stuff! However, I checked out what you’re working on. Seems you’re getting some graphic effects going on there, just keep at it. The fun is in discovery. Anyway, you probably want to do it the way you want to do it then when you’ve got it you can say it’s “yours”

What is Evan right about? Evan is just agreeing with my question.

I don’t want a full lesson on the history of language, just a brief summary so I can get a rough idea. I don’t really care but it should be interesting for me and all of Marina’s fans.

This shall be a challenge for Marina.

Hey ralelunar, you’re pretty smart!

Nice link, thanks buzz. This is a detail that wasn’t adequately covered in the primate studies for my program, although the bright coloration on mandrills and vervets gives pretty strong clues about color vision in some old-world primates, now that I think about it a bit.

Okay, the colored borders come up nice and bright on the Mac, but for some reason my PC doesn’t register them at all. They’re all black and there’s nothing wrong with the monitor. That does it, I’m getting rid of that P(iece of) C(rap). It’s probably ten years old anyway.

Now remind me who was it made reference to a “bunch of flamingos trying to out-pink each other?” :razz: Typical ape behavior, nein?

I would like to know the history of the phrase [the whole nine yards] – as in, “he was very thorough… he went the whole nine yards!”

What is the origin of the term [scape goat]

Peas in science
Pea
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For other uses see PEA.
Pea

Peas are contained within a pod

Pea plant: Pisum sativum
Scientific classification
Kingdom: Plantae

Division: Magnoliophyta

(unranked): eudicots

Order: Fabales

Family: Fabaceae

Subfamily: Faboideae

Tribe: Vicieae

Genus: Pisum

Species: P. sativum

Binomial name
Pisum sativum
L.

A pea is most commonly the small spherical seed or the seed-pod of the legume Pisum sativum.[1] Each pod contains several peas. Although it is botanically a fruit,[2] it is treated as a vegetable in cooking. The name is also used to describe other edible seeds from the Fabaceae such as the pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan), the cowpea (Vigna unguiculata), and the seeds from several species of Lathyrus.

P. sativum is an annual plant, with a life cycle of one year. It is a cool season crop grown in many parts of the world; planting can take place from winter through to early summer depending on location. The average pea weighs between 0.1 and 0.36 grams.[3] The species is used as a vegetable – fresh, frozen or canned, and is also grown to produce dry peas like the split pea. These varieties are typically called field peas.

The wild pea is restricted to the Mediterranean basin and the Near East. The earliest archaeological finds of peas come from Neolithic Syria, Turkey and Jordan. In Egypt, early finds come from c. 4800-4400 BC

Pea flowers In the mid-1800s, Gregor Mendel’s observations of pea pods led to the principles of Mendelian genetics, the foundation of modern genetics.

[edit] Etymology
According to etymologists, the term was taken from the Latin pisum and adopted into English as the noun pease (plural peasen), as in pease pudding. However, by analogy with other plurals ending in -s, speakers began construing pease as a plural and constructing the singular form by dropping the “s”, giving the term “pea”. This process is known as back-formation.

The name marrowfat pea for mature dried peas is recorded by the OED as early as 1733. The fact that an export cultivar popular in Japan is called Maro has led some people to assume mistakenly that the English name marrowfat is derived from Japanese.

hey Marina! you’re sooo hot :D
what i want to know, where is the word [Renaissance] from and does it also exist in america /in american history (you know, cause of Columbus, founding the USA etc.)
thank you!

Marina,

The deciding game of a three-game series between baseball teams is often called the [rubber game]…what is the origin of this phrase? I read somewhere that the phrase was originally used by bridge players, but I cannot find anything more…

thanks.

Very nice lesson, please tell me, what are the origins of [scimitar] [viking] [berserker] [werewolf] i would so very much like to know their origins.

renaissance means rebirth in Italian :grin:

The speed of page loads has been up consistently for at least a day now. Is this only because of your tweaks — or did you also get something changed at GoDaddy?

You said a lot there, Marina.

I like your calendar of events, Marina.

OK, here’s a thumbnail sketch:

After the Romans pulled out of Britain in 410 AD, Angles, Saxons (ca. 450 AD), Vikings (790-1066), Danes (800s), Norman French (1066) all invaded Britain, driving the native Britons into Wales and Scotland. English is what happened when these invaders settled down and tried to communicate with each other, mixing their various languages together in the process. Later, as their society and government became more complex, they borrowed terms from Latin and Greek to describe the concepts they needed — since the ancients, with their higher level of civilization, had already developed the necessary vocabulary.

The Proto-Indo-European language supposedly spoken 6000 years ago in what is now Ukraine is thought to be the ancestor of the European and North Indian languages. Thus languages as diverse as English, Russian, and Hindi have been shown to have a common structure and vocabulary. But a few European languages — Basque and Hungarian, notably — are unrelated. :cool:

PS There are a few of us left who speak the old language of Britain before the development of English, that looks like this:

A geiriau bach hen ieithoedd diflanedig
Hoyw yng ngenau dynion oeddynt hwy
A thlws i’r glust ymh mharabl plant bychain
Ond tafod neb ni elw arnynt mwy.

(“And little words of languages now vanished
Were once alive and danced on human tongues
Sweet to the ear in parables of children
And songs that centuries have left unsung.”)

– from Cofio (“Remembering”) by Waldo Williams,
translation by Evan Owen :cool:

Hi leonard,

Jimi Hendrix was buried about a mile from where I grew up in Renton, Washington State. Thieves repeatedly stole his gravestone, until they put in something more substantial. :smile:

[Shop] derives from the Shoppe region of Bulgaria, famous for its Shoppe dances. These lively “narodni tantsi” were the highlight of the festivities accompanying the opening of new malls — hence the association of Shoppe with what we now call “shopping.”

It’s true, I tell you. :mrgreen:

I would like to request the words [hotel] and [motel] and the difference between them.

Motherboard and daughterboard for the names of printed circuit boards that accept and plug into another, respectively, have been in use since the ’70s. Where they were first used and by whom is probably not publicly documented well enough to allow the origin to be determined. Even if someone used the terms back then, they would not know if they were the first or others had used them first.

i was looking at the origin of the term ‘mother nature’ and came across the word [fecundity] [fecund]. what is the origin of the word?

My dear and HOT for words teacher, a friend of mine asked me about the origin of the word Punk’d, that we heard for the first time on the Ashton Kutcher show, If I writed something wrong forgive it, as I’m Brazilian and learned the English language all by myself I’m never sure about how good is my skill on it…

Seriously, xcentriq, I know what you meant. We get a lot of this kind of comment from new people (“I was waiting for Marina to do a video on it”). But Marina has, according to one TA, over a thousand word requests already on her list; you’d have a long wait :sad: . After awhile, you’ll get a feel for what requests she will and will not accept, and [history of English] is not likely to be one she’ll do. (However, she might surprise us; and the requests and topics that get discussed a lot are often the ones she’ll choose. So the people who have tried to answer your questions are actually increasing the chance that Marina will do a video for you. :smile: ) In the meantime, please note she has a book coming out in August; perhaps she has some answers for you in there. ;-)

People who come here expecting attention from Marina are apt to get frustrated — she has over 200,000 subscribers, after all. But those who get into discussions with fellow students are the ones who have fun and keep coming back. :grin:

Pob hwyl / cheers,
Evan

Robert Claiborne’s Our Marvelous Native Tongue is an enlightening and enjoyable read also. :smile:

Benin a bad mood? Perhaps you’d like Togo Dahomey. :sad:

See, Bob? SOMEBODY appreciates my puns! :razz:

Yes, I can hear music. That’s a leading question; what’s the punch line? :???:

:razz: :cool: ;-)

GoodDAY

FLAG ON

Ragged Old Flag

:lol:

;-)

The Star-Spangled Banner – Jimi Hendrix (High Quality) :cool:

Tatting is a form of needlework; [tit for tat] is just a folk witticism noting that it’s almost always a woman’s hobby. :razz:

In the early 20th century in America, people would go to soda fountains for dates and socializing so much that preachers started complaining about it. Enough that there was a bit of a prohibition on Sunday for getting a soda. One soda ‘jerk’ put ice cream in a bowl and proclaimed you,” can have it on Sunday!” The clergy finally went on to something else, and they changed the name to ‘sundae’ out of respect.

BTW: The word jerk comes from soda jerk. They had to Jerk the handles for soda to come out. Since this was not a job demanding much skill or had much of a future, it gradually took on its present meaning.

2-for-1, baby! Kudos, M? :?: :???: ;-)

Happy Flag Day, leonard!!

I’ve got mine hanging out! :shock:

Flag, that is! :oops:

cool think you (kudos)

As Bob can tell you, [wee] is Scots dialect for “small”, as in Wee Doch an Doris
. :twisted:

You can also ask Bob about [witty], or just scan these pages for his comments. :grin:

I wonder what that Tune-is-Y’-'ear. I’l-cheer-yer for that last ripost if you promise to stop taking Libyaties with the language.
Now I’m going to have a nice cup of tea & a Cammaceroon. Abyssinia later.

Point taken, this sort of thing Congo on forever. :roll:

fly your fLag :lol:

:lol: [belly-button]

Painting my bellybutton blue !!

Thank you…Hanging out …together or alone…The FLaG is High today :cool:

Rock on….http://officialbailing.com/printphoto.htm

Yay woot congrats!! :grin: :mrgreen:

I would like to request the word [pratfall]

I hope the bots wanna take over because I’m Ghana give up now and I’m keen ya should do the same.

Awesome about the views, mate :mrgreen: (is there a female version of that?). I’d like to request the word [lad]. It’s commonly used in uhh… Scottish, right?

The cereal? Purina, I think. Or maybe you mean the board game or the magazine.

I would like to request the word [yankee].

Agreed. This latest round of puns has been a-frican’ outrage! :evil:

congratulations on 200 million.

It’s official – Two Rivers is recognized by the Wisconsin State Historical Society as the REAL birthplace of the ice cream sundae. There is a Sundae Week every summer, and the city gathers in Central Park for an old fashioned band concert and ice cream social during the annual Sundae Thursday.

It’s final. Two Rivers is the REAL birthplace of the Ice Cream Sundae!

I would like to request the word [charge] it has multiple meanings, as in electricity or running ad someone, besides it has some psychological meaning as well as you directly start to think worse after hearing certain words(like death or pain)…

besides i came up with another word while writing this…

it is [dyslexia] as it is an way to hard word for the problem for the person…

As the legend goes, a glass salesman writing up an order for Berners’ canoe-shaped ice cream bowls misspelled Sunday as Sundae. Others believe the name was spelled as it is because it was considered rude to name the ice cream treat for a day of worship.

Oh, I get it. Nipple piercing.

Mine’s hanging out proudly too!

HAPPY FLAG DAY EVERYBODY!

Thanks leonard! That always takes my breath away.
I often wonder what his music would have been like throughout his life and today if he had lived.

BOOGITTY-BOOGITTY-BOOGITTY! From Michigan. Go #5!

Every [lassie] has her [laddie],
None, they say, hae I.
But a’ the lads they smile on me
When comin’ thru the rye.

–Scottish folk song :grin:

How about some good Scottish words, Lady Marina of Lochaber? :razz:

Pardonnez-moi mon anglais! :razz:

OOO, good one. I second [gerrymandering] :grin:

:cry: My Driver #16 ran out of gas, but he did finish 5th! Congrats to Mark Martin :!: :grin:

I love The Bif, too. Goes back to when Martin was with Rousch. He’s truly one of The Good Guys of the sport.

Hey Rick,
Theres an ole boy from down your way that I think the same thing about-SRV. :cool:

I got my info from the History channel. I believe they even mentioned Two Rivers. Weren’t they in some kind of an argument with another place on who was first?

OK,OK, last word to you, you gander! That reminds me, Marina has Goosebumps so I’m off to offer her my coat d’y voir and G-booties to keep her warm … anyway, she’s Ceuta than you :twisted: .

Absolutely, beevee14! He had fairly recently beaten a drug problem and seemed to be happy and on track.

T*H*A*N*K G$O$D

Gratz for 200 Million video views and I wish ya for more .

I would like to request the word [LORD] , what I know about Lord is something they ues it in the past to describe The King or some man who has high ability .
and I also would like to add why christen ues it alot ? (I dont know the word becaues I’m not christen and I would really love to know the origin of that word )
and as you see I like my name to be _LORDI_ It sounds cool ^^ .

and I also would like to add a thanks for you HotForWords becaues you helped me know alot of words in english and I got also improved at english cuz of you , thank you again and I loved your videos alot and I want you to continue with your awesome work .

Hey Marina,
Has anyone asked you to picture this scenario: Pimetime or Latenite TV could be offering you an opportunity, Say like Jay, Conan or the others…. :cool:

dude, meant to get back to you sooner.

what’s with the german?:D

hey, you gonna watch the fight tomorrow, klitschko vs. chagayev?

I agree, dantebucci. The origin of this phrase might make a very interesting lesson. I’ve heard a couple different possibilities but it’s hard to know which, if any of them, may be the true origin.

One person said that the bullet belts loaded into American fighter planes in WW2 were 27 feet (nine yards) long and if you ran out of ammunition in a dogfight it meant you’d gone [the whole nine yards] to bring down your opponents.

Another possibility was that a cement mixer truck could hold nine yards of concrete (yards being used as a measure of volume here, like gallons only much larger), so if you needed all the cement or concrete that could fit in one of these trucks, they’d pour [the whole nine yards]. I have definitely heard of concrete being measured in yards, so this might be the one. But I don’t know how much concrete that really is, or what the capacity of a cement mixer really is. :sad:

So I have no idea whether either of these stories are true. Who knows, it could be something else entirely.

HOTFORWORDS must investigate!

You got a little mention at murraynewlands.com. One of your students mentioned RPG to me. Anyhow I asked her if she wanted more “views” for her Y/T vids. & she said yes (whoda’ thunk). I mentioned that I’d ask you for a little advice on how to make her, non specific, comedy show more, “YouTube friendly”. She’s so sweet & works hard on her (weekly) vids. Anyhow I don’t want to be a pest & ask anything for myself, nor do I want to be mentioned… but sometime, when you are not too busy, could you shoot her a note, email, suggestion(s), from your expertice on said subject.
You can check her out at her channel. I’m thinking that she’d listen to you… sorry if this sounds like an imposition, it’s not, although it may sound unusual. Did I mention she seems quite well off & don’t imagine she does this stuff to make $$
Marina, you’re still my favorite Youtuber & I still watch intently. I enjoy all your successes & cheer your milestones.

Oh! of all the twitpics you’ve posted, this one is my favorite. It speaks to me of your love for the dear ladies in the pic, but shouts of your future… says to me “I don’t fit in here, I have to find the place on earth I was meant to be”… the story is still being written… it’s a good read.
