Mondegreen

This word seems familiar … think I first came across it on this site itself! But I know the video will not be dejavu all over again.

more, singing please :P

I’m a begging…I’m eatinbacon….Beggin’ – Frankie Valli video re-mix

BACON

:smile:

PRAY tell or tell prey :razz:

Marina, your right hand gesture at the end of the video comes very close to making me ROFLMAO! But you do have me grinning :grin: You know I am :cool: with that — but since I am a man, I do find it funny. I watched those last few seconds several time (never done such replay views of few seconds before) — and saw after a few times that you also do something with your tongue! Those last few seconds are too hilarious, Marina! But it’s good; I like that in you! But it does make me laugh as a man! And you have a nice happy, refreshed and exhilarated look on your face at the end of those few seconds — that’s so good; I love you for that! God you’re a good girl, Marina!

i know the song u were singing at the beginning

If either of us ever have to sing for our supper, we may starve. :smile:

Very grand job done, Marina. RED HOUSE by jimmy H…kno kiss-ing in school :lol: a-r-t*t-r-a Janis Joplin – Piece of my heart…is it peace or piece? :lol:

I’ve always liked the song greensleeves on piano because it’s about having sex in the grass and then finding out you got grass stains on your clothes

PS: (Perhaps “girl” in the very last sentence above shouldn’t be there; not sure.) Anyway, very well done video; and your enjoyment is infectious. Thanks!

Yes, but strangely enough, I didn’t hear, but I saw that almost tool monde was green on twitter a few days ago. :smile:

These greenish ones were most likely sick of something…

“Blinded by the Light” by Manfred Mann’s Earth Band. “… Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night. …”

Hwk: Okay, I use to think that The End included the lyrics: “The end of names we try to buy,” but instead, of course, it’s, “The end of nights we try to die.” I still think my mistaken version is stronger lyrically.

Maybe FM radio helped sort some of these things out better than the cackle of AM. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMiV5Ls_LVU

hey how about the word [book] or [movie]

Hey i would like to request something can you tell us why people why people call a girl that acts like a boy a tom boy ??????? ?=(

Even though I already know the meaning and origin of this word I want you to make a video for it so people could know what it is

The word… [hemidemisemiquaver] and
[nipple] <- just joking but i would like it if you made a video for those two words

My 8th grade history teacher was overweight (circa 1964). He told us that when he first heard the Beatles song, “That Boy”, he was offended because he thought they were singing Fat Boy.

Thank you, Marina, for bringing to the surface that particular verse of that old song, “Blinded by the Light”, because I never could make any sense of it.

i request a word a word “Born” or народитися

kokhaty 13o12n

[Born]

diakuyu tobi/vam, spasybi

The other day we had a FANTASTIC meal at the best Thai restaurant in Spain. The service is gr8, food exelent and we menaged to wash everything down with some noce and cool Sancerre wine. Now I wonder where does the expresion [spring rolls] in food come from.
Thanks.

 
Excellent lesson.. I had never heard of the word mondegreens other than on the Nerd Word of the Day section, so that was in interesting story. Loved that Beavis grunt.

Three pennies for your thoughts in that cute and pensive school girl picture.

When you sang the misheard lyrics, I heard them correctly. What would you call that? An inverse mondegreens? :lol:

This misheard Bollywood video is still funny after 13 million views.
I call it the Benny Lava song
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZA1NoOOoaNw

And so, that begs the question; since I don’t know Hindi, how do I know I misheard it? I guess if I have to ask, then I guess I misheard it. :lol:

I’d call this a nearly perfect lesson. Everyone can relate, we learn something, it’s way clever, and Marina’s performance is soooo cute. (OK – she is cute anyway – but so is the [PERFORMANCE]!)

I only say nearly because I know she’ll come up with something even better in the future! :grin:

Beatie Boys : Intergalactic sounds like

“intergalactic kill your children kill your children beat them gladly”

Hey, I saw the word in the “Nerd word of the day” section like 20 minutes ago. Excellent lesson! BTW, I’d like to request the word [technophobe].

~B

I think the classic is from the Four Tops, “I can’t help myself” when they sing, “Sugar pie, honey bunch” and it sounds like they are singing, “Sugar Fried, Honey Butts.”

Dear Teach, thank you so much for that! You gave me a much-needed laugh before leaving today. Your cuteness factor is off the charts in this.

Always.

Where did the phrase [It's on the house] come from?

RECYCLED=DELCYCER

My Football Coach:

‘You gotta put a little effort into it!!’

Homework:

“‘Scuze me while I kiss this guy”: mondegreen of “‘Scuze me while I kiss the sky” (Jimi Hendrix.)

“There is a bathroom on the right”: mondegreen of “There is a bad moon on the rise” from “Bad Moon Rising” by Creedence Clearwater Revival. :lol:

BTW Marina, I don’t care what Simon Cowell says, you’re cute when you sing! :grin:

Oh, here’s the thing.
There is an amazing song by Dada called “Stereo Flo”. You all guys should check it out.
In the chorus she sings “Well, all you shy double brothers, get your booty fly girls…”
Well, at first it sounded to me like “Well, all you shy mother f*ckers, get your booty fly girls” :lol:
Also, later in the song it sounds like “The time ends now, it’s all the decade…” when in fact it is “The time ends now, this is over taking”.
:mrgreen:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQnt-dD1MSk
Oh, and Marina. You rock!! :cool:

WAY cool request!

In several languages, the word for [born] is linked to the word for “nation.”

If I recall rightly, [nation] itself comes from the French (& ultimately Latin) word for “to be born.”

народитися, “born” links to народ, “people,” and words like международний, “international.”

In Welsh, geni, “birth,” is the root word for genedl, “nation.” :cool:

[Callipygian]

What you said about the youtube censor thing is very true Marina! You know how much I think you can be a little porn :!: :???: :lol:

Inverse mondegreens :lol:

Knowing Hindi wouldn’t help … that’s in Tamil (unless it is in Telugu)!

[Spring Tides (have to do with the moon and)] have nothing to do with the season either!

You misspelled your youtube video title.. it’s wife’s. Funny vid. :shock:

Thanks Marina! I thought it looked weird, I typed in wifes and it came up as wrong, so instead of putting the apostrophe I just used wives instead :oops: corner-cutting..

Glad you liked it, I wanted to go back to some of the filth I used to make :lol:

Steely Dan, “Hey Nineteen”. ‘Give us some funked up music’ was very easily misheard :?: …

♫ ♪’The Cuervo Gold,

Awww,yes, sing it again!

Dear Teacher how do you do it with so many SICK PERVERTED ANIMALS sayings such terrible things they need their mouths washed out with LAVA soap just know that most of us appreciate and respect you. You have a wonderful day if I could I’d send you a bushel basket of Red Delicious Apples :smile: I’ll draw some heat today I told a bunch of them ANIMALS off. I’m sorry I can’t just stand by and let them do what they do, I spent an hour or more the other day trying to contact YOUTUBE to ask them to do something but I failed…

:oops: Little error on my part :oops:

‘Give us some funked up music’ is actually from the song, “FM”.(no static at all)

“Hey Nineteen”

‘Little Deuce Coupe’ Beach Boys

Two-fifty for an eyeball and a buck and a half for an ear… is a “mondegreen” that I have used.

The real lyrics are… “two-fifty for a high-ball and a buck and a half for a beer”.

It is a song by a Canadian band called The Tragically Hip.

It’s called Little Bones and here is the link to them playing it on YouTube.

Parts of this song have pure instrumental sections (meaning no vocals) — but Buffalax has added words to those sections too! And yes, girls can laugh at the man in this video-song.

Here’s another one you may not have seen.
And there are more like this on YouTube.
Seems you have a lot of work to do before all the world speaks English as well as you.

Want to avoid any miscommunication: I know girls can find the man in this video funny, but not being a girl, I really have no idea in what exact manner; and I suppose different girls will find him funny in different ways. Regarding my Comment Block #3.x on this video of yours: I am not laughing at you; I am actually extremely happy about something very profound that I see in you in this video; it has something to do with masculinity and femininity — but I can’t really explain it.

Manfred made it famous, but it is a Springsteen song. The Boss also has excellent song writing capabilities. He is much more than just a top-notch performer.

I posted all of my mondegreens when it was a NerdWord topic, but I’ll repost them here because many of them were pretty funny (to me)

Justin Timberlake “Last Night” …crossed your s**t for you

Actual lyric Be, be my h*e. ‘Cause I’m your moneymaker

I really need to get my hearing checked.

My favourite mondegreen is ‘I’m inclined to knock music’ which came out on a BBC Radio 1 phone-in show in the mid 70s. The caller was referring to Mozart’s ‘Eine Kleine Nacht Musik’ — believe it or not — It’s true! I heard this live on radio… :roll:

That’s right. I forgot. It was on Bruce’s debut album.

;-) Buffalaxed did a version of Michael Jackson’s Thriller but it seems more like a mondegreen tribute though :lol:

Strange, normally we don’t get YouTube loosers coming over here, but when the do they get thrown out quickly. I would say you have about 2 hours at the most.

don’t feed the trolls.;)

Simply put

“we DISCLIAMER : Does not include alx”

if you do feed them rat poison

I would like to know the origin of [Hot Rod]:-)

Dear Marina,
You look so happy when you sing!

The Beach Boys had a hit song called “Little Deuce Coupe.” but it would be completely different if they sung about a “little douche coupe.” Maybe it would be a funny girl’s car. :razz:

Weird Al Yankovic does many songs that humorously mimic famous originals. “Beat it” became “Eat it” “Get yourself an egg and beat it
Have some more chicken, have some more pie
It doesn’t matter if it’s boiled or fried
Just eat it, eat it, just eat it, eat it…”

Instead of “Girls just want to have fun”, Al Yankovic did it as “Girls just want to have lunch.”
“Don’t ask ‘em to dinner
Or breakfast or brunch,
‘Cause girls, they wanna have lunch.
Ah, girls just wanna have lunch.”

In the Army’s Company formation, the company commander would yell “”Com-pan-ee”, which was the cue for the three platoon leaders to yell “Pla-toon.” One morning the platoon leaders instead yelled “Spitoon.” But the formation call continued as scheduled. (It was hard to do humor in the Army.) :grin:
Seesixcm6

I edited it like YouTube does :-)

That makes sense I think what is behind the stars is this…

“We can all begin to use some bad gramma’ “

 
Your’e welcome Marina.
I had to listen to it again and it still cracks me up. :lol:

Hey

Everytime when i listen to the song “Pokerface” by Lady Gaga i missunderstand the refrain.
Instead of:

Can’t read my,
Can’t read my
No he can’t read my poker face
(she’s got to love nobody)
Can’t read my
Can’t read my
No he can’t read my poker face
(she’s got to love nobody)

I think that the male voices (text in brackets) is singing:
“shemale’s got no love, nobody” Which is a little bit weird :smile:

OMG, thank you HotForWords. You mean there are others like me? I’m not alone! I didn’t know there was a name for my affliction. Understanding lyrics correctly is like understanding Russian to me. Da!

Piginapokemon Mondegreener

Ha, ha, the second video was funny. The words were the way I heard it, too. :lol:

 
Ragini Werner did a nice writeup on my favorite teacher HotForWords. (June 4, 2009) I don’t recall anyone mentioning this article. Check out the comments.

Some of us have heard Spanglish, Ragini is trying
to banish Dunglish (<– nerd word?), English with a
Dutch accent in the written word.

I would like to request the word [Pro Bono]

 
Now I know why Marina has a spell on me.

Here is her song for me. :grin:

And, of course she has to do the origin of putting a spell on me

I also wonder if you could add a definition for [brassiere]? Thanks Marina! :smile:

It’s actually “she’s got me like nobody”

When I watched this lesson, I immediately thought of Weird Al’s ‘Smells Like Nirvana’, a song that revolves around Kurt Cobain’s vocals epitomizing the mondegreen. Here are the lyrics to the song:

What is this song all about?
Can’t figure any lyrics out
How do the words to it go?
I wish you’d tell me, I don’t know
Don’t know, don’t know, don’t know, oh no
Don’t know, don’t know, don’t know…

Now I’m mumblin’ and I’m screamin’
And I don’t know what I’m singin’
Crank the volume, ears are bleedin’
I still don’t know what I’m singin’
We’re so loud and incoherent
Boy, this oughta bug your parents
Yeah

Its unintel-ligible
I just can’t get it through my skull
Its hard to bargle nawdle zouss
With all these marbles in my mouth
Don’t know, don’t know, don’t know, oh no
Don’t know, don’t know, don’t know…

Well, we don’t sound like Madonna
Here we are now, we’re Nirvana
Sing distinctly? we don’t wanna
Buy our album, we’re nirvana
A garage band from seattle
Well, it sure beats raising cattle
Yeah

And I forgot the next verse
Oh well, I guess it pays to rehearse
The lyric sheet’s so hard to find
What are the words? oh, nevermind
Don’t know, don’t know, don’t know, oh no
Don’t know, don’t know, don’t know…

Well, I’m yellin’ and we’re playin’
But I don’t know what I’m sayin’
What’s the message I’m conveyin’?
Can you tell me what I’m sayin?
So have you got some idea?
Didn’t think so — well, I’ll see ya
Sayonara, sayonara
Ayonawa, odinawa
Odinaya, yodinaya
Yaddayadda, yaaahyaaah
Ayaaaaaah!

And of course, here is the link to the video of the song:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxh5v5MpEB8

Ah, the good ol’ days when rock reigned instead of rap and pop… At least Weird Al has survived the test of time, no matter what genre he mocks.

As for me, I know I’ve made a few mondegreens in the past, but none come to mind right now. I’ll have to think about it…

Peace, Errin : )

p.s. My music can be heard at http://www.myspace.com/errinfamilia . I think I sing my lyrics in a mondegreen-free way.

Thought I’d include a link to Nirvana’s original video that Weird Al so closely aped:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPQR-OsH0RQ

What’s amazing is that it has 28 million hits on youtube! Wow!

The Benny Lava has and must be a parody !!!!!!!!! MUST!!!!!!
please Marina the word Pygmalion (form and meaning)
Bye and come in Soci

You should have just deleted him. There is no room here for trolls. :???:

One of my favorites is a common mondegreen of the last line is “There’s a bathroom on the right”. (The correct line is “There’s a bad moon on the rise”.) Fogerty himself has been known to occasionally substitute the “bathroom” version of the lyric as a joke during his live shows, including on his 1998 live album Premonition.

You have a wife? Why don’t you show her your comment…

He has to patch her up and inflate her first.

I’m with you, Mike. They have a way of multiplying like a virus in the summer heat.

When a dog smells dog pee, it pees there. When vandals see graffiti, they put their tag there. When tourists see litter, they’ll drop their trash there. When a troll gets any attention whatsoever, more trolls come out of the woodwork.

I would like to request the word apocalypse!! Thank’s :)

I fill her up with your hot air.

WTM? Using a NWoD (pronounced en-wadd) from June 1 as a lesson word? My mind is reeling. My brain bounces around in my skull like a pinball. Is not the purpose of the NWoD to keep NWoDs out of the lesson stream—to keep the stream pure? Putting interviews up as lessons… ARRRGH! What next? Will we find that your shopping list or shoe inventory has become a lesson? Is this just a Venus/Mars thing or are you deliberately trying to make my head explode?

BTW, the menu item NeRd woRds, logically speaking, should function the same as All Words, namely it should be an index of all NWoDs, all of which are clickable. Perhaps because NWoDs are new and such an index would now only contain a few items, you have put up glorified thumbnails for each. As time goes by, however, there will be too many to put on one Webpage, so you will be forced to make it an index and the earth will rotate far more smoothly.

Finally, just to tangle reader’s minds with one more self-referential twist, Mondegreen’s “glorified thumbnail” should have read, “wrapped up like a douchebagette in the middle of the night???” :shock:

If he was a pro, he wouldn’t have run into that tree.

I’m a certified we.

That’s someone who plays one of these.

It’s true, I tell you.

Yeah, why not a throckmorton boy?

ty i’ll hav 2 look into this more

hmm genedl…

I rest my case.

Last band I was in, these were both on our set list. Thanks, leonard!

Here’s a mondegreenathon.

Those are right painful, Bob. :lol: Where DO you find them?

An ad campaign based on mondegreens
Campaign

(looks english words however it sounds frenchy)

[procrastination]

Thanks for straightening me out on this one, philbee! What a relief :lol: . I always thought it was “Sugar-fried bunny butts.”

Hi Heidi!

BV wanted to see a more sexy pic of you head on, I guess this is it! U R way cute!

Hope to see you around Heidi, love hearing the woman’s point of view among all these salacious guys! Me included…

Show us some civilisation…please? ;-)

I don’t find them – they find me.

PK,

SNAP OUT OF IT!!!!

We all love her (although I can’t speak for Alex)…

She’s way cool, yes. But cut yourself some slack! ;=)

SLAP…SLAP…SLAP…

COME TO YOUR SENSES MAN!!!

…But far be it from me to tell another guy how to feel…so…

carry on!…

Here’s another one that just found me. :lol:

Let’s have a [lynch]-party.

 
Ooohhh, thanks, I needed that.
I was just about to trade in my iPhone
for HotForWords and her sister, you know, a twofer.
OK, I think I am back to normal now. :shock:

We-e-e-ell, I didn’t want to get personal but,….. :twisted: :!:

When he gets back from the barber ;-) , he is going to be pissed! :!: :cool:

You’ve got it written all over you! :mrgreen:

UNDER U :?:

I mentioned something about that to leonard way back in the beginning of this lesson. Could M be blowin’ up :!: so much that she is dropping the ball on her day job?

NEVER, I say!! I mean, alot has happened in the 38 days in between the NWoD(I like that) and the lesson. :twisted:

OK then,

Things are back to normal… ;-)

I would consider you normal, sane, lucid, and yes, even lucky; to trade ONE phone for TWO M’s! ;-)

Hey M, looking at your twitpics and noticed the one of you in the red shirt and it reminded me of the Aerosmith album, “Just Press Play” :!: ;-)

I don’t know if Marina will feel disposed to make a video on nipple, but here is another Buffalaxed-inspired video which I’m sure you will enjoy.

BillyB will like this one – “D’you speak Canadienne?”

Nay, verily, it is written, “An i for an i, and a two for a two.” :roll:

PS – Look out for leonard! ;-)

PPS – It’s a JOKE leonard… :lol:

Teacher –
Another outstanding lesson!

The only Mondegreen I can think of is from “Hot for Teacher”

I could have sworn I heard “Marina needs to see me after school”…

Just wishful thinking I guess… Keep up the good work!

Yes, M IS hot. Never really thought of that before. :?: hmmm :?: Still, I’d like to knock the dust off of her erasers and clean her chalkboard with a wet sponge.

gotta go. orderlie is coming…

My favorite is from the Beatles, The girl with colitis goes by, written as The girl with kaleidoscope eyes.

Huckleberry Hound – 10 – Freeway Patrol
or the song “HOT ROD” by BlackOak Arkansas :cool: or is, is it a horses carrot?

First I was going to answer your question that it is the French word for “stick ‘em up.” Did you know Howard Hughes invented the under wire bra for Jane Russell? As for his airplanes, he was always seeking ways for more lift.

Second, being curious, too, I misspelled the word as brazier and found an entertaining answer: “metal container to hold burning coals,” 1690, from Fr. brasier “pan of hot coals,” from O.Fr. brasier, from brese “embers”.
That’s hot!

Third time’s a charm: brassiere

Dear Marina :grin: I am guy from Finland and I have always wonder where my name comes from. I would say that my name isn’t order nary Finnish name. I have try to fine the answer from internet but I couldn’t fine it. My name is [ismo] and it’s been said that it relate’s to Arabic name Ismail.

Sorry about the English- I am from Finland :grin:

I hear you saying “hotts for words” that’s my Mondegreen.

Always a TREAT to hear you sing (place sarcasm emoticon here) :smile:

:cool: deuce… as in cards… the two of hearts :cool:

You are hilarious, I love you!

“Pre-order my new book here”? How else could you order it except before you get it? Well, perhaps there’s a way and I just don’t know it. OK, I’m game. Send me the book, and then I’ll order it. What would you call that, a post-order?

No, wait… Just asking you to send the book before I order it is in itself an order, isn’t it? It’s just not a prepaid order. OK, then (my, this is getting more difficult than I figured), I won’t ask you to send it. You will just have to send it out of the blue without me asking for the book. Yes, that should do it. When it arrives, I will just have to remember to act surprised:

Why, I wonder what this could be? It’s from Hotforwords. Maybe it’s a consolation prize for not winning the date. A box lunch of some kind. Maybe a steak kit. You know, a frozen steak, an aluminum tray, a few charcoal briquettes, a coathanger to be fashioned into a skewer to hold the meat over the fire. And three toothpicks: one to clean my teeth and two to rub together to start the fire. And, just to complete the M experience, an old bra and a pair of high-heeled shoes (which I will have to stuff with my imagination). And a SASE doggy bag so I can mail back a scrap of meat for Gorby to snack on. Yes, that’s what it must be… Oh, a book! How thoughtful!

CK claps his hands together and contemplates writing his Oscar acceptance speech.

“love” is such a strong word …

Six – Mondegreens a much cooler because they’re on the spur of the moment ‘Weird Al’ is a cool guy but his stuff is Satire its funny for that reason and he does it as an artform and hes good at it but its not like his lyrics are misheard. A true Mondegreen is funny in the extreme because its what people think theyre actually singing which is even funnier to the point, because why would song writers write some of the lyrics that people think theyre singing???

Hey dear Teacher you keep up the good work we Love what you do ( And please, please, please Marina when is nerd girl going to put in another appearance We Love her almost as much as we love You!!!)

No, no, no. HH was always searching for ways to get less drag. Hmmm… In the application being discussed, “more lift” and “less drag” amount to the same thing, don’t they? :mrgreen:

The underwire in the underware would have to be made of stainless steel, else if the wire were to get wet, you’d have bust rust.

Oh, that’s priceless!

Oh, your imagery has made my mind…

Hi finnish1980, and welcome to HotForWords.

Your English has a few mistakes, but it is understandable. I hope we’ll get to hear from you regularly. It’s good to know what people from around the world are thinking about and we are all here to learn, so have a seat! There are a few vacant desks right here in the front of the classroom.

-pennsyltucky9

where did [gusto] come from? as in [go for the gusto]?

The Monkees visiting their doctor: “I- I- I- I- I’m not your stethescope!” :grin:

the cool guys always sat in the back. even kings.

They can sit wherever they want; the SEATing isn’t ASSigned (heh heh).

Personally, I prefer to see every little thing my teacher is doing in this class from as close as possible. So I like the front better, especially when she leans over the desk to grade our homework. :shock: I know, I know… I’m just, like, SO not cool…

Can you imagine M bending over the package, getting it ready, and a couple of hairs accidentally fall into the package :?: ! When you got them they would still have her shampoo fragarance(I’m thinking ‘Head & Shoulders’) on them and you could lay them on the pillow next to you. As genetics move along, you will eventually be able to clone her for a nominal fee and have an M of your own forever!

Or two, or three…. :twisted:

we had this russian teacher back in … i don’t know … fifth grade or whatever. ms. tarasova. she actually did that, you know, you’d call her to your desk, ask her a stupid question, point at the book or something, and she’d lean over. of course, you had to turn the book so she wouldn’t stand behind you but in front of you. we guys did that all the time, the girls rolling their eyes. lol. needless to say, her bras were a big issue back then. oh, and she always wore those silk or satin blouses, preferably green ones. she served me and a friend of mine cake and coffee once, at her place. but that’s another story.

Of course you know that there are books full of Mondegreens, very funny. My favorite one is the old church song, “Gladly the Cross I’d Bear,” heard as “Gladly the Cross-eyed Bear.” When I was a kid, I tried to find Gladly in the Bible, but he wasn’t in there.

Got email from GoDaddy today. Parsons said “Plus a very hot Russian Chick.” Any idea who he was referring to? :)

One does not wish to egg on foul humor, but is it true what “they” say? That he was found: Sunny side up?

Yeah, there wasn’t enough left to Cher! :???:

Can you say Hot Rod in Russian.. And the Song is “Hot Rod Lincoln” or if you are really Smart you can Find “His horn went BEEP, BEEP, BEEP” this would be awesome and I would immediately send you ONE THOUSAND ROSES!!

I think it was this particular very hot Russian Chick here :!:

Can you explain the word [diathesis]?

when i grow up i wanna be famous i wanna… have boobies !

I wear my sunglasses at night so i can keep track of visions in ma ass

Okay, you’re hired. Fill out these tax forms… :lol:

:twisted: usually find mondegreens in songs with somewhat incoherent lyrics

Hi Dear, Will you show me the origin of [Hot Rod]. or at least help me drive my [Hot Rod] Home. The perfect Hot Rod song is ” Hot Rod Lincoln ” or “His horn went BEEP, BEEP, BEEP ” that would be perfect! My Russian friend Moshe and his wife love to watch me play my “[Bassfiddle]” in Hollywood. I might be willing to pay you to make an appearance at the Redwood Bar “sunday brunch Americana” Let me know if this is interesting to you. I am so busy I can not make your show this week in San Diego. I hope you will forgive me Teacher. You have made me laugh so much.

Mark the [Hot Rod] Guy

Ooh! Thanks! Saved that one!

Why July?

You’re welcome hotrocky- it’s good to have you back and posting comments here :!:

How about doing [third degree] meaning intense interrogation. I heard it had something to do with Free Masons 3rd degree but I haven’t been able to find it on the Internet.

Don’t know if this incident actually happened, but I’d like to think it did-

A mother & her young son were flying Southwest Airlines from Kansas City to Chicago.

The little boy, who had been looking out the window, turned to his mom and asked,

“If big dogs have baby dogs and big cats have baby cats, why don’t big planes have baby planes?”

The mother, who couldn’t think of an answer, told her son to ask the flight attendant.

So the boy went down the aisle and asked the flight attendant,
“If big dogs have baby dogs and big cats have baby cats, why don’t big planes have baby planes?”

The busy flight attendant smiled and said, “Did your mother tell you to ask me?”
The boy said, “Yes, she did.”

“Well, then, you go and tell your mother that there are no baby planes because Southwest always pulls out on time. Have your mother explain that to you.

[muster] as did not pass muster and is this related to the condiment mustard ?

just stopping by to say i’m still alive. although my study partners are dead. challenging quarter in the cadaver lab.

Three! One to clean my teeth and two to rub together to start a fire. :lol:

I wonder if she pined for him?

I would like to request the word [adeptitude]

It was first used in 1825 http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=SeYRAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA196&dq=adeptitude

What does it mean today?

Have you done any study on “live” human bahavior? Anthony Martin wins a lunch date with Marina couple of days ago. He says “… and who says you can’t win in life?” & “Looking at Marina’s twitpics. Wow she is so down to earth but on a whole other level, does that sound right? I can’t wait to meet her!!!”
I ask you, does this sound like a cool (& real) dude? Nobody from the HFW website is following him on twitter. That’s not saying Marina is a “nobody” but maybe the two of me is. I won’t say more… right now.
Oh, I’m alive too, although a bit dead in June. You enjoy the little break you had there?

Oh crap, you gotta be signed into twitter to get the link to work. Anthony Martin from the Funky Barnyard.

I would like to request the word [Adeptitude]

It has a great history: http://books.google.co.uk/books?q=adeptitude

But not used so much these days. Why’s that?

John

OK, maybe not Damn, try this :roll:

@BillBroughton Thank you dude. I just signed up on the 4th of July, LOL. I follow her on youtube. She’s the reason I came to Twitter. Shhhhh :roll:

It was painfully slow… yet amusing LOL. Celine Dion our national treasurer, made it big, Stateside.
How about something up tempo, if not a little annoying, yet, not without value… can’t help but think this was written as a purposeful mondegreen… Vicinity of Obscenity

Ha ha ha… tears are running down my face from watching that Buffalaxed video. “A nerd to punk a nerd”… hahahaha, laffing so hard I’m bleeding… fuckin’ eh! hahaha. Sorry… loosing my composure.
Seriously, those moves fit right in with the words, so funny “I’m swimmin init” (beeeejay).
I musta’ needed that… whoo (c:

I heard a line in there at 30 sec. “… take a nude picture”?

I would like to request the word [classy].

Well … up tempo it certainly was but … what a [cacophony]!
After playing that out loud, all my house-plants have wilted. :sad:

I would like to request the word [homogolation]

dude i think you need another break.

I’m sure you’ll be able to put in a good word for [gimmick].
Where did this word originate?
Thanks…

Just noticed the new organization in the ‘All Words’ directory, and the Private Message feature in the Forums. Both are really nice improvements!

Someone’s been busy. Good work!

Good work… :)

I have a suggestion for your next word-project: “Teetotal.”
in Brief, the word is attributed to to Dicky Turner, a member of an anti-alcohol society, who had a stammer, and in a speech said that nothing would do but “tee-tee-total abstinence”.

I read that there is an inscription on his grave: “The guy who discovered the word ‘teetotal’.”

Check it out… and keep rocking

Hey Buzz, hows tricks? I was pretty sure you had went the way of Cha-Cha but then I remembered that I AM the one who has been pissing people off here, not you :!: . We need your steady hand to keep the boat from rocking. bsomebody is on vaction(staycation?) and P9 has been doing his best but its kind of a forest fire with a garden hose. :mrgreen:

Have a good’un

how’s things?

Hi Marina!

I occasionally do watch some of your lessons and I really enjoy them :)

Now I’ve stumbled across a word, the word [exodus], I’ve read about “the exodus” but I haven’t been able to find the origin of the word itself.

I hope this might be a bit of a challenge for you!

Я – болельщик , это мой первый комментарий, я – фактически американец, но моя мать – это русский. Я наслаждаюсь ваш видео. Они заставляют меня думать, и смех. Я наслаждаюсь ими очень. Спасибо. Также, ваш красивый, женитесь на мне. Также, я имею слово для вас, что является происхождением слова [предусмотрительностью].

Is it [inexpendable], [unexpendable], or neither?

A few days ago, I told my friend that, one day, I’d like to be unexpendable. He corrected me, saying the correct word was inexpendable. I can’t find either in any of the dictionaries at my disposal, however (or in Microsoft Word). Maybe you could hyphenate one of them?
Thanks

seems to be “unexpendable”.
–> # 1
–> # 2.
–> # 3.

also, google gives 41,700 hits for “unexpendable” (which is not that much), but only 1,940 for “inexpendable”.

“un-” / “in-” are prefixes used for negation, so, maybe someone knows which one of them is the more productive one.

hello miss marina,sorry i have`nt to your website in awhile.i was at this resturant one evening and i over heard a conversation and this person said he was[abliguritio].marina dear can you investigate this word please?

So, Marina…How many times in a day do you get,[hit on]?

Marina,
I have a Twitter!! So I was wondering if you could follow me. (getting pretty boring. :| )

Hi Marina,
Why do we say [speak of the devil] when someone you are speaking about enters the room?
jimmy_c

don’t need to send me any roses, but that lyric is from “The Little Nash Rambler.”

I am confused, is it [Fullproof] or [foolproof]?

:mrgreen: I think only chicks and rednecks create Mondegreen’s. I am neither so that lets me out. He-he!

What kind of tomfullery are you talking about?

The number of Google hits is meaningless, because it’s just the number of pages people have written with those letter combinations in them. And you what kind of crap people can produce. Nevertheless, if you enter the un- version into Onelook, you will get n nine results, but none for the in-.

You’ll have to mentally edit the above yourself. :roll:

Sounds like he’s fool of it to me :mrgreen:

The whole saying is “Speak of the devil, and he/she/it will soon appear”. Maybe it is from the Bible :?: :???:

well, when someone says it in the context of making a plan, do they say [fullproof] or [foolproof]?

If you are singing lyrics YOU believe to be correct, but are actually wrong; then you could be guilty of Mondegreenism without even knowing it :!: ;-) :???:

Did I just blow your mind? :?:

The trouble with making something foolproof is that before long the universe invents a better fool.

haha, i like that one ^_^

None of those are sources that would pass muster in a term paper, but Google searches generally yield the right answer if one is searching for relative usage, so I think I was right. Maybe Marina can confirm with the OED or some other comprehensive source?

umm. i don’t think princeton university is an unreliable source but … okay …

:mrgreen: Due to hay fever,the only thing I blow is my nose. And I do it with class! LOL!

Oh, sorry. I didn’t know it was based on that Princeton source. I always assumed it was as unreliable as Wikipedia.

My favorite one I heard is CCR The bathroom’s on da right. Mostly we do it on purpose for fun like cultists do MONY MONY. Tottally different than from misquoting of taking things out of context like the so-called best lawyers and the highest judges.

Iron Butterfly’s “In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida”

Sounds like “In the Garden of Eden”

One small mondegreen that I’ve just come across in Cream’s “Tales of Brave Ulysses”

“The tiny purple fishes run lauging through your fingers,
And you want to take her with you to the heartland of the winter.”, or so I thought it was for forty years.

It’s actually, The tiny purple fishes run lauging through your fingers, And you want to take her with you to the hard land of the winter. Which is more tangible, and it could mean anywhere it was darn cold, like North Dakota. Compared to heartland which is more abstract and mythical, as if it were on the vast expanses of Russia, where 2 seemingly unstoppable armies were crushed by the winter. The lyrics really work either way, I actually prefer the “hard land” somehow, because it’s less complicated, yet still graphic.

You thought the leaden winter would bring you down forever,
But you rode upon a steamer to the violence of the sun.

The tiny purple fishes run laughing through your fingers,
And you want to take her with you to the hard land of the winter. by Martin Sharp

nick kershaw…..i wont let your mum go down on me, no i wont let your mum go down.

Hello, leaNard! I’m fine. How you? Here is one I wrote yesterday:
I’m not very smart but I think I got my mind wrapped around it. What with Charlie Rangel and Maxine Watters ethics charges/investigations/denials/whatever and the economy; you would think BHO would be crying hisself to sleep every night at what he has done to his party, let alone the country. But here it is: HE WANTS IT TO HAPPEN. BHO will throw anybody under the bus for four more years and is selling these two down the river without a qualm. The dems lose the house AND senate because of all this, the repubs come in and change the tax structure, the economy takes off, BHO takes the credit and gets four more years. Don’t think it’ll happen?? We-e-e-ell, see: Bill Clinton, 1994.Oh, he would and could never so out loud but he is a historian and he remembers what happened. Will we? In a sidenote, hopefully he will be running against Newt Gingrich, the man who made the ‘Contract with America’ that helped those repubs so much. Hell, I just wanna see the debate! Newt would have ‘ugh-ugh-ughing’ more than normal(but still less than Gibbs in the in the average press conference anymore!)
This is known as Chicago politics WRIT LARGE: I keep hearing rumors that BHO may make an executive decision granting amnesty to illegal immigrants. I have also heard that the admin is running into a problem getting the soldiers mail-in ballots ready and there is some obscure law that could make them invalid if not sent to and/or sent back to/from the soldiers in a timely manner. Hmmmm. ‘Very Interesting’ as they said on Laugh-In. If you give the vote to 12 million generally left leaning who owe you their freedom and essentially take it away from 5 million generally right leaning people who were not gonna vote for you anyway; that sounds to me like a 17 million vote swing. We’ll put a pin in that one…
Speaking of Rangel: He was in front of the House today complaining that nobody has ever given him a chance to speak about his case while talking for 30 minutes about his case. At one point he eclaimed, “I love my country. I love my congress…” and I thought of how true that old saying is(even in the electronic age):
“Patriotism. The last refuge of a scoundrel.” It brought a smile to this lined and weary face.
Until next time…819 days until sanity once again prevails(hopefully) but only 84 days till mid-terms
