Please rate and comment over at YouTube to help the video if you can. Thanks! :-)

    Homework: As a helicopter pilot I worked with some well known TV personalities, and even appeared on television myself a couple of times; also I’ve been the personal pilot of the Royalty, Nobility and Gentry of Europe as well as lesser celebrities such as racing drivers, DJs, jockeys, footballers and beauty queens (in descending order of interest). I’ve lunched with Lords, dined with Dukes and partied with Princes but discretion forbids me to drop any names.

    Well if I talk about who I hob nobbed with then people will think I’m a snob. Ooops too late. (gawd I hate that word ‘snob’ with a passion) Now everyone thinks I’m a snobbish, uppity, yachty, silver spoon fed, upper class, snoot, smug, self-righteous, narrow-minded, arrogant, chesty as a peacock, conceited, lordly, assuming, proud, swaggering, pompous, pretentious, stuck up, cocky, contemptuous, blustering, imperious, overbearing, haughty, scornful, puffed up, egotistical, disdainful, self-important, presumptuous, high-handed, insolent, supercilious, high and mighty, overweening, immodest, swollen-headed, bigheaded, and damn I know there was one more…

    I have a list some where because I keep forgetting who I met. It’s kind of a hobby of mine. It’s like getting the chance to touch the real person than to just see them in photos and video. Have you ever seen a place in a post card and then visited the place? Everyone says the post card doesn’t do any justice to actually being there. The Roman Cathedral and the Colosseum did that for me. The Sidney Opera House and the big Coat Hanger also took me back when I was able to touch them. The world shrank when that happened.

    Hey you want to know a little secret? Well it’s not a big secret but some celebs get just as excited to meet other celebs as we do. Remember they are people just like us. Funny thing is some celebs are bigger fans of other celebrities than some of their fans. (did I say that right?) Well you know what I meant and not what I typed.

    What I really find amazing. Some of the people I meet that are not celebs and should be. I’ve met people with so much talent, I can see it leaking out their ears. Yet they have never been on any kind of media. Sad to see though. It would be nice to see them on the TV once in awhile. I think the world might be a little bit better place if they were to share them selfs a bit more….

    Who do you hob nob with? You mentioned your sister had a site before yours. What is her site? How many siblings do you have?

  • hs4mm

    I knew what knob meant, but did not even know nob was a word! And had I been told it was a word, I would have guessed it was a slang word.

    I can say my son and I talked to Richard Petty NASCAR driver of car 43 at a luncheon and picture signing. I don’t know if this could be considered hob nobbing or just a chance at meeting him and enjoying his company.

    Getting friendly with celebrities? …I guess that depends on your definition of “celebrity”. I met porn queen Jenna Jameson a few times at a strip club, a decade ago in the Portland, OR area. I guess you can say I was… oddly friendly at the time (or a bit of a dumb ass), but she was friendlier. Nothing really worth looking back on or bragged about.
    Motley Crue stopped by one night for one of her shows. We passed by each other a few times, but I never talked to them. I didn’t even recognize who they who they were until Jenna told me.
    Another celebrity encounter was when I was standing in line right behind Jesse “The Body” Ventura at an airport terminal, in Louisville, KY (This was shortly sometime before he ran for governor of Minnesota). I wasn’t even paying any attention until some random guy behind me pointed him out. He was accompanied by a couple of overweight WWF staff members (with WWF logos on them and suitcases). We almost took the same flight together until our plane had some kind of mechanical failure. I never talked to him and we just parted to different planes after that announcement.
    I guess there could have been better celebrity encounters, if I bothered to attend concerts or shows… especially with the Iowa State Fair coming up. But I don’t really care to go out that much.

  • Venomrock67

    Yeah I was part of a little jam session with Kirk Hammet and Lars Ulrich of Metallica at a so called speakeasy in West Seattle, Met Jeff Hanneman and Tom Araya of Slayer and back in the 90′s before these “artists were big”Motherlovebone who became Pearl Jam and Soundgarden( I didn’t really know them personally) I always ran into these guys at social gatherings and witnessed the good things and the soap operas with their girlfriends (My best times).

    I did some work for a company called “Foam Tech” and we built sets for movies and T.V shows, so there was the movie Tomb Raider with Angelina Jolie I got to see her upclose and talk minor things with her but it was not a very good experience, I don’t know if she was not feeling well or something personal was going on in her life but she treated people like shit, And if you see her early in the morning without makeup She’s Fugly. :shock: Man, makeup and camera work really can deceive one’s eyes, I realize we don’t look our greatest in the morning, but I’m tellin ya with her you would trip out bad and if you’re a serious fan you might be disappointed. Also the cast of the T.V. show Northern Exposure(Great People!). When the show got cancelled that was the end of that job. and that’s all the celebs I’ve hob nobbed with. Maybe too long on this comment or too much info Oh well

  • freebird

    No, I have not really “hobnobbed”… although, I have met a number of well-known, wealthy people.

  • seesixcm6

    Dear Marina,
    No, I’ve never hobnobbed with any celebrities. When I was a waiter years ago, I did serve many celebrities. When I taught class at purchasing and business seminars, I met many City, County and State of California officials. But your definition of “hobnobbing” means more than serving food or teaching class.
    I’d like to “hobnob” with you, so that it includes many hugs, handholding, and crossing our legs together.

    The closest I’ve come to hobnobbing with anyone rich and famous was being a HFW teacher’s pet. :lol:

    Well, more seriously, once I hitched a ride for an hour with a British Member of Parliament from Wales (Ron Davies), and we discussed strategies for the Welsh Home-Rule Movement (for which I was a foreign propagandist.) His campaign (with a little help from me) resulted in 1997 in the establishment of the Cynulliad Cymru / Welsh Assembly. :cool:

    Hoi polloi (the many, the masses) comes from a different source (ancient Greek: οἱ πολλοί), but maybe there’s something in people that likes to make rhymes about people congregating.

    I don’t give out my phone number due to the incessant calls from celebrities day and night. They want to hang with me, I’m too busy, y’know how that goes. Seriously though, I have never really spoken with a celeb, except the semi-famous Jeremy Slate, whose most famous role was in True Grit (Emmet Quincy, the outlaw who chopped off Moon’s fingers). He picked me up hitchhiking on Santa Monica Blvd in his Mercedes Benz. He was a regular guy. He has an admirable bio at IMDb.

    Mirina you certainly make learning interesting and fun. It seems like every time I thought of word it was on the list. So it seems that you do an excellent job of getting to popular ones. I’m sure you have had lots of request already because of the double entendre. You are probably still trying to figure out how to politely to handle [pussy]. :oops: But the more I think about it the more uses I have for [pussy]. :oops: Like [pussy cat] and [pussy willow] and the derogative use [pussy whipped]. I see how they are related but where did it come from. And, BTW stop [pussy footing] around and make your [pussy] video for utube.

    Miss Orlova, dear teacher, nice person,
    Please excuse my comment the other day about your beautiful and simple makeup (you asked for feedback) I didn’t mean to be rude saying that the underlined eyes was JUST “goth” or was “kiddie”. I didn’t mean to be rude, because your more dramatic eye makeup (when you go out clubbing, etc) is well done by you for being seen in lower light levels and your skill in doing various makeup looks is real testament to the joy of being an ever-changing woman on the go!

    It’s just that the new makeup you invited comments on is so simply wonderful and opens your face up… making you SO much more approachable as a performer (doing an interview show for example). You’re going to have as many years in teaching as you want and I think the softer, more approachable makeup look- no lower eye liner and subtle lip liner- will enhance your long-term potential as a “Mr Rogers/ Captain Kangaroo/ Sherie Lewis”-style performer and “intelligence is sexy” lifestyle artist.

    In fact, here’s a “marketed personality” for Marina Orlova: She’s the the HotforWords internet teacher AND “intelligence is sexy” LIFESTYLE ARTIST. John Guthrie in Wyoming says, “Marina is definitely 34th Century as near I can tell, based on the unbounded dark energy we’ve detected (with z-meters) already surrounds her as a result of the shared human consciousness she’s created on the internet. She gets all the credit for creating the shared consciousness which binds that dark energy and makes her face glow from within…even when she just looks like another Paris Hilton on a yacht at Cannes Film Festival…

    “THAT’S OUR MARINA YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT BUDDY!”

    Marina’s fans know there’s a a lot more to Marina than “being hot” and more than even her incredibly intelligence media from her HOT FOR WORDS web site! Marina is a simple, open, happy, SMART and good person…with a family she loves and friends and a fluffy cloud of a snowflake cute doggy..and that open, smiling, simply yourself makeup and life is what we are loyal too and always will be.

    The simple makeup creates the happy open face which any child of any age will always want to run to learn the meaning of lifestyle and intelligence from… and a few word meanings to share at a party some time. Go Girl! Live that simple-to-exotic lifestyle you do SO well and thanks again for sharing it with all of us! We love you for it!

    Hi Marina!

    Gotta ask re the thumbnail…has that photo been doctored to make the two of you look more alike?

    We can still tell which one has the brains, but other than that, the similarities are unnervingly striking. :shock:

  • hs4mm

    Seriously? Do you recall the date roughly?

    The only video I know of that fits the description of “reporter standing outside by the road at her apartment” is the recent “behind the scenes” video for snob magazine http://www.hotforwords.com/2009/06/22/interview-for-snob-magazine/ .

    Once upon a long time ago, I was boarding a plane and walked up to the entrance to the jetway. Standing (seemingly by himself) was presidential candidate George McGovern. He looked like he had been rode hard and put away wet; he could have absorbed a good, solid week of sleep. I offered my hand and he shook hands almost robotically and I got on the plane.

    When I worked at NSA, Vice President H. Humphry came to visit and walked the halls and greeted all we little intel drones. He was very pink.

    When I was very young, my uncle, who was a Carson City Shriner and politically connected, took me into meet the governor of Nevada. The office had a very thick, deep blue carpet. Not knowing even what a governor was, I was immediately drawn to his credenza, which had a collection of metal aircraft models. I suppose he was a pilot, but I don’t remember saying a word to him. That’s a kid for you.

    Intelligence is sexy.

    Good morning, dear students, and welcome to my favorite class: philology, or the love of words.

    For me, nothing is more seductive than a good word origin story. I can’t get enough. I mean, have you ever wondered what the word “cocktail” has to do with drinks? Or whether “hussy” was always an insult? Or why Benedict got his very own egg recipe? These are the types of questions that keep me awake all night long.

    Whether you’ve been a straight-A follower of my YouTube channel or this is your first adventure in philology, I think that soon you’ll be just as hot for words as I am! Are you ready for class to begin?

    About the Author
    Marina Orlova, a.k.a. Hot for Words, has degrees in the Teaching of the Russian Language, Teaching of the English Language, and World Literature with an emphasis on Philology. Her YouTube channel has more than 100,000 subscribers – Marina not only knows her stuff from a linguistic point of view, but also knows better than any other philologist on earth how to captivate the attention of her male readers.

    4 the fact, The [gypsy moth] :???: has four distinct developmental stages: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. Each life stage looks and behaves very differently from the other stages. Eggs and pupae appear lifeless, but undergo dramatic changes internally. Larvae eat and accumulate fat that is used when they are adults to find a mate and reproduce.

    And another word [ Shotgun], when people call to be first.

    Thanks

I do not remember, but would not be surprised if she mentioned pussy in that radio show.

  • pennsyltucky9

    Celebrities can be complete unknowns depending on the crowd.

    Here’s my homework: I once recognized Pete Seeger hanging out at the Greyhound terminal in Chillicothe, Ohio. My friends had no idea he was there until I made the mistake of pointing him out as he sat around reading the news with a paper coffee cup, waiting for a bus during a summer downpour. Of course, Pete was famous but not rich (hey, he was riding the bus). My 2 female friends immediately rushed over to him, clamoring for an autograph, which he reluctantly signed. I watched their interaction from across the lobby, not being one to jump in with both feet until I’ve had time to consider the scene from another’s point of view.

    I felt bad about pointing him out because he clearly didn’t appreciate that kind of attention, even from 2 young beautiful girls. After awhile I had a nice opportunity to chat casually with him about music stuff (I had my guitar with me, and he was traveling with his ever-present banjo), since both our buses were late in arriving. He had some good advice about performing that I still use today, and it has served me well.

    I was happy to shake his hand, thank him for his great musical contributions to our culture, wish him well and NOT ask for his autograph.

    I’ve also met and conversed with Del Shannon, Johnny Costa, Dave Grisman, Scott Thunes, Don Novello (Father Guido Sarducci), Steve Kimock, Jose Neto, Royal Robbins, “Petch” Pietrolungo, TM Herbert, Rick Sumner and Doug Robinson. But a lot of these people are only famous within certain subsets of the population, like I said earlier. The last 5 are famous climbers and mountain guides.

    Hey (privet), recently came upon a nice phrase “ditto”, which appears to be relatively new to general speech. Brief info from urban dictionary (google it at will) is pasted below:
    ***
    [Ditto] comes from Latin, and means about ‘as has been said before’.
    ***
    In same dictionary there are several modifications of this word like ditto head etc.

    Guess is you could make a nice short story of it if you manage to discolor politics from [dittohead] and [dittomonkey] so that noone gets agro, or make it sound anyhow funny.

    As a scab works when the strikers don’t, you would think that they would choose a different term, because a scab is part of a wound healing.

    I remember in the ’80s I had to work on a modem up in the Blue Shield building in downtown San Francisco and the workers were grouped around the entrance with their signs and so forth, trying to look fiercely intimidating. A Blue Shield management guy escorted me down the sidewalk and into the building (as if one man was going to protect me from dozens of angry strikers if they decided to attack me). As we got to the door, I remember a little old black lady with a sign who yelled at me, “Scaaaaab!” That was sooooo funny. Well, they struck themselves right out of a job. You can imagine what salaries the data entry worker bees got in downtown S.F.; it wasn’t cheap. So Blue Cross went out into the hinterlands of Northern CA, rented defunct supermarkets or similarly-sized buildings with lots of cheap square footage, installed multiple* leased lines back to HQ with our modems on them and filled them with 4-clusters of data entry stations. The housewives and other locals jumped at the chance to get the jobs at a far, far lower salary, and the data entry office in S.F. was closed. Ooops. I imagine that by now they have even gotten rid of the those supermarkets and all the worker bees stay in their respective hives, all connected by the Internet.

    Actually not цар but царь. The difference is in sounding of last letter.

    Its logical definition of king. Aside from logic, many russians I know tend to think that king is more a formal leader, maybe possessing charisma, relying on nobility to suppress the peasantry, while czar is primarily a charismatic figure, harnessing the love and/or fear of masses to secure the fear and respect of nobility. This definition is by no means for dictionary, rather for a person who might wish to understand different nations better.

    As for what Obama says, well, man, I don’t want to ignite political holy wars here, so lets leave it like: “at the moment he needs to devote public attention to revolve about democratic and non-democratic stuff in the world and any mention of Czar is a soft first step on discussing something which is non-democratic”. I really would not pay much attention to any other meanings of czar in Obama’s speach.

    You didn’t get this reply 43.1.1.2.1? If you saw that reply but did not get my point, any suggestions on how I might have worded it so that you would have gotten the link? Thanks!

    Yes! Have mingled in the past with one or two celebs before. Locally, many faces I kinda recognise but names escape me always. It’s not LA but we have our moments! No air brushing stood in news paper shops so wouldn’t know a regular Joe to A list vouge! Not so long ago, I helped a band who were having a skin full in a pub to find there way back to the recording studio. Was much fun until fire alarms sounded as the west wing of the Mannor lit up! Booze, rock stars and fire just don’t mix really!

    Hob Nobs are biscuits too! Many crumbs!
