Amazon Best Seller?

:cool: 1st!!!!
I’ve already ordered my copy! Can’t wait to read it!!!! :grin:

Can you make the top 100?

I think it should sound more like, WHEN you make the top 100 you’re going to rent out your favorite club and and invite us all to dance the night away alongside you and all your friends! :mrgreen:

Well, maybe top 50 for that one, but you get my point. :cool:

ay my name iz chris. I wanted to know da origin of the word [gag] as in an object that prevents sound or words to come from the mouth. Seriously though, I’m just curious. It’s like the weirdest word I’ve ever come across.

I’m sure you will. I’ve done my bit. :-)

I bought several for myself and my Friends in Moscow wish Marina all the best and all the Vulgar Jealous Haters on YouTube ‘Shish S Maslom’ :lol: :grin:

Noticed you tweeted :arrow: “Can I make Amazon’s top 100 list?” What, you have doubts(?) We need to talk…

Hello Marina! I would like to know the origin of the word [wax], as in the phrase [wax poetic] (not as in candle wax – though if that relates as well, that would be lovely!). Thank you!

Eighth comment! My personal best, I think! :mrgreen:

Light the book is. With a bunch of cute pics. But of course, it can go no problemo on Amazon with the 99 other books of the top 100 list! Heavy ones below!

I think the lesson’s background pounding rhythm is not 100% human though. It should be replaced by some country song.

“Yevgeny Yevtushenko is a ham actor, not a poet.”
– Allen Tate (1899 – 1979)

I would like to know the origin of the word [Precious], beacause that’s my name(:

I pre-ordered on Amazon a few weeks ago. I can’t wait. I hope you make not only the Amazon Best Seller list, but the New York Times Best Seller List. Best of luck.

i would like you to explain why the word [blow] is use for the term [blow job]…i really don’t get it :???:

Marina

Whats the origin of the word [Epicurean]? Marina do you live an Epicurean life?

StylinAzn
Jess

Whats the origin of the word [Wow] and why do we use it as an expression of amazement? Like Wow!! Marina, you are so sexy!!

StylinAzn

Why does [love] mean “zero” in tennis? And does the scoring system of calling one point “fifteen,” two points “thirty,” and three points “forty” (short for forty five as “five” is often used to shorten “fifteen”?) originate from how a clock is arranged?

 
Hello 007,
Marina covered part of your question
in this video lesson entitled:
“Love = 0″
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4S1vVe9BQEE

Hey, on it!! No worries M, you will make the target for sure. Do you sign any copies as would like one or more for presents, thank you.

I love you X

oh, hows good does that strawberry look too……one of luckiest strawberries in the world, ever! so jealous!

Peace and love to you M, more than ever XOXO

 
What if you could do a couple of bytes,
maybe a megabyte or even a giglebyte? :lol:

I hope you make the bestseller list on Amazon Marina!I already have mine preordered and cann’t wait to read it!I hope you all the best, and as always it is good to hear from you,Best wishes to you Marina :!: :grin:

 
At this time, on the Harper Collins site,
Marina’s book is the #1 Most Popular book
and Marina is also the #1 Top Author.
http://harpercollins.com/

The Amazon Best Seller list should not be far behind. :grin:

It’s so cool watching this happy lady’s career unfold like origami.

To me, her accelerated evolution in the past year is as significant as the social transform from analog to digital… very cool…next is quantum of course, but that’s another book!
;-)

[pass muster]

Dear Marina,
To help you out, I’m going to pre-order not one, nor two, but three copies of your new book! I’ll read one and keep the other two in mint condition. One to resell if it becomes a collector’s item, and the other in case I get to meet, so I can ask you to autograph your book! :razz:
I hope all these sales (thanks to me) boost your popularity and the publisher will want you to do another book for them, real soon! :razz:
Maybe this post will get some of your other subscribers to buy more than one book! Do they like you, or not? :?:

Okay I’ll order another copy to give as a gift but I’m confident you will make it.

When your YouTube video was titled “Mail Order Me”, I was immediately thinking of Mail-In Order Russian Brides. :mrgreen:

G O R B Y ? :shock:

Cool, after 20 years they finally made a new Robotech movie, and it is free to watch on YouTube. :cool:

 
Hello everyone,
I just saw a Tweet on @BreakingTweets and BreakingTweets.com regarding the update of Twitter being attacked by DDOS.

Some of you may be confused by the reports when referring to the “Georgia situation” and the other news items referring to the “Koobface” worm. Both of these stories are not mutually exclusive. One story answers a “Why” question, while the other story answers a “How” question.

Questions one might ask regarding the Twitter attack.
Why? Politically motivated

How? Method of attack

Both stories still are speculative in nature and we’ll know more as time goes on.
 
 

Dear lovely Marina, I already ordered your book on Amazon. I am waiting for it to come in the mail. I hope your book does become a bestseller. I had tried so hard with my christian writing over the years that for me I was jsut pleased that Amazon and Mobipocket would accept my prophecy books and my autobirgraphy. I have lost all hope or expectations of my writing becoming a bestseller. But I wish you all the best there, you happy smart and sunny girl!!

Marina, my sister has been bugging me to know what [adair] meant if you can make a video please do.

Dear Marina,
Well, I placed that order today. I hope it helps you become a successful and wealthy writer! Good luck with your books!

Check out this thing I found on Google :arrow: :arrow: “Rate Marina’s Outfits”

Hey Karl,I am going to ask you a tech ?. How do you change your gravatar image. I obviously have a gravatar account where I put my image on here in the first place. I uploaded a new image on the gravatar site and chose that one to represent my e-mail address and confirmed it, but it doesn’t show up on HFW even after fifteen minutes or so, I first signed up using a PC but I have a MacBook now. Do you have a troubleshooting tip?

that’s interesting the new image shows up on the recent comments column but not on the comments column below the video lesson, I just want to know if changing my gravatar worked,that’s all

Hey Venomrock67,
I see a Tron type figure with some kind of helmet. Is that your new gravatar?

Yes, I see the gravatar is different over at the far right.
That is part of the caching on this site probably and it eventually will catch up. Not to worry.

Venomrock67,
I had to clear my cache in FireFox to make sure I was seeing a clean result. What I see is this;
I see a portrait of you, long hair in both comments here and I see the exactly the same pic over at the far right. In other words, everything is synchronized. So, is the portrait your latest gravatar image then and the tron image is the older one?

When you change your gravatar and wait 15 min, then you also want to make sure to clear your own browser cache in order to see the latest clean results.

Yep, and I had to clear the cache in safari, A simple solution thanks to you, I’m still learnin, You have a good one Karl :smile:

Oh that was interesting.

Thank you! She appreciates it very much. :grin:

I GOT IT! Thank you so very much! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

LOL, she is now in Wikipedia, and we all know what she thinks about that :mrgreen:

I would like to request the verb to [jizz]. Thanks by advance.

I would like to request the morpheme [spruiker]. Thanks by advance.

I pre-ordered almost immediately when it was first listed. Its great to me part of your continued success. The 18th isn’t that far off! I’m getting excited. :smile:

Continuing from “aibohphobia,” I’m sure a lot of Nederlanders also speak Flemish. Happy now? :smile:

Hello, i would like to request a word [ Bacchanalia ] .

That’s what I was thinking as well :-)

Why don’t you make your book required reading for your course?

That’s a good idea! :-)

No, that’s is not what i meant. I’ll pm you.

Have you seen Russia’s gift to the US?

I am SOOOO glad you didn’t consult Ron Burgundy when picking the name for your site. :razz:

He probably would’ve just told you off when you disagreed with him anyway.

Anyone know in which video Marina is in a racecar on the track, i googled for racecar, but didn’t find it. :sad: All i find is palindromes, etc.

This is only slightly off topic, but aren’t strawberries sensuous?
I found this pic of a strawberry filled with whipped cream and it’s sinful.

1e one is really funny :mrgreen:

[martini]

[cereal]

Shaken or stirred? :arrow: :arrow: “MARTINI”

Shaken or stirred :arrow: :arrow: “MARTINI”

I think that was my blooper video.

 
I just noticed that YouTube’s Home page is crippled where almost all of the various display sections are gone. Right now there are only 3 sections; Featured, Promoted (at right) and an Ad at the top. Normally, there would be several more sections and a list of the Popular categories.

When viewing the Popular pages or other Honors boards, it does not show any video thumbnails. Either YT is doing some tweaks to the site or they may have been a victim of the latest Twitter event?

The issue is observed on several browsers with cleared caches.

So I was wondering if you could figure out the origin of the word [oops]. Everytime I say this word I always sit there wonder for like 10 minutes where it comes from. It’s pretty funny.

I would like for you to investigate the word, [hippopotomonstrosesquipedalianism].

Just pre-ordered your book from Amazon, I’m looking forward to seeing what words you’ve covered in it, plus the pics will be a very nice bonus too. :razz:

BTW I like your Go Daddy shots :smile:

Where is everyone today? Probably just taking a nap. It’s 8:07pm here so maybe everyone will be up and ready to comment by 9 or so.
Marina are you coming out with a new vid today or going to rest and wait until tomorrow?

Marina does love long words :grin:

But if you spell it like this “hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia”, it’s the fear of long words. That’s pretty ironic that a long ass word like that describes someone who has a fear of long words. :mrgreen:

:smile: Hi…

Computers are eating me up and My time is screwed like a wasp drilling the dead tree for its life…[WASP]…best of luck for sails[sales] :razz: ///MOTHERBOARD///2 in one day…

I need glasses :shock:

Wal-looned…: :P

I’m hooked…like fish :oops:

well read and happy smarts/…the race is rolling :0:

Hello jsaugs,
Marina actually covered the root part of your word
request which is sesquipedalian and I provide a
link to the video lesson below.

Look very carefully at the beginning of the video
at 0:05 seconds into the video and you’ll see the
word that you requested which is the fear of long words.
Also, that word is really a stunt word which has added
many latin or greek root words to make it artificially long.
ref: http://blog.oup.com/2007/08/long_words/

Here is Marina’s lesson.
Sesqui-wha??

I kNew yOU WoUldN’t bE goNE f0r 1oNg…SOmE 0f ThE StUdeNTs wEre stARtiNg t0 [WORrY] :mrgreen: :cool:

Hi Karl here’s some other sites describing this word: http://www.yawiktionary.com/h/1148342640370.html
http://www.allwords.com/word-hippopotomonstrosesquipedalianism.html
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=hippopotomonstrosesquipedalianism
Maybe the one you found is right, for some reason I can’t view Marina’s lesson right now it’s not even loading up. It could be a stunt word :???:

To Marina… Capman… and/or fellow students…

Is there a chronological list of lessons? I’ve seen the alphabetical one.

Look toward the top of the page that has the alphabetical list.

I say so more than ironic like the crazy asshole that invented that word needs his head stroked with a louisville slugger; and then I would ask him to spell it again. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

YouTube is aware of the problem and is working on it as we speak.

“Marina does love long words :grin:”

Yes, but longer isn’t always better. ;-) :mrgreen:

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Yes, it’s not necessarily how long but the width of the word can be better too! :lol: :mrgreen: Right on Captain,that’s the spirit!

I was referring to the link on Sesqui-wha?? that’s the one that isn’t loading on my computer but I see it might be a YT problem.

Good word request, remip89!

Yep. Pretty funny until you’re on the operating table and you hear that word coming from your surgeon. :roll:

Welcome to HFW! See you around the campus, classm8.

-P9

Hi wyo,

You are so right. Hey, I wonder if you might lend Marina your eye-patch just for a short while. EYE’d like to see her do a lesson while wearing it as a bathing suit. Cheers!

-P9

Oh yes your so right. ;-)

I like the words “Welcome Aboard”. I should get that tattooed on the Jolly Roger before I raise it again. :lol:

 
Hi freebird,
At the top navigation menu link, click All Words,
then you’ll see a title: “All the Words and Phrases”
and below that there is a link that says;
“Lessons by date click here.”

This is the link:

I would Like to request the word [Fuck]

I like the way you think :!:

That would be great in the Forum:

People who need there head stroked by a Louisville Slugger… :?:

I wonder how many times my name shows up? :mrgreen:

Thats called ‘soup-canning it’.
Soup-Canners Motto: “I may not touch bottom, but I’ll hit every bit of the sides”

I would like to request the word [licorice]

Add-on to shrink lesson 105.3. Could be viewed as shrink.105.3.1., couldn’t it?

Some paper dolls are somewhat sixty.

Mondo wig!!

Dearest Teacher, Two of your Twitpics are gone :?:
inbetween Gorby’s new haircut & your beautiful face in your
goodnite photo to me :roll: were two pics one looked like (Sting
and or Trudie) with you & the other was you on a parasailing rig :shock:
I tried to find them to no avail :oops: was up :?:
:cool: B.B. :mrgreen: welcome home, i missed you :cry:

Yesss that’s the one :smile: , thanks.

Jesus, they don’t like you, James is wearing a fireproof overall, and they didn’t get you any.

Now i know what Captain Jack means with M. :mrgreen:

Why did they call it [motherboard] ?

She has been asked that many times, including from me, but she won’t do it. I heard that it is an acronym for: Fornicate Under Command of the King

What about the phrase [more than you can shake a stick at]?

She already said that acronyms only came out hundreds of years after most swear words originated. Snopes already covered it though, they have the origin on their website.

Hello Marina,
You have such great videos I watch them almost every day and your so amazing I would just like to request the word oleophobic I still cant figure out what it means can you help.

Thanks :mrgreen:

 
Hello shiiney, JERRY DIXON and jason32,
Until the time that Marina actually does a video, which I’m sure she will do, you can read about the origin in this magazine article where Marina discusses ten words and their origin myths in Ask Men magazine – Top 10: Word Myths

The #1 word she discusses is the “F” word

 
Word Request:
[chic] as in Marina is very chic in this picture

a request should be between [ ] otherwhise M can’t find it ;-)
your request: [oleophobic]
see: http://www.hotforwords.com/wordrequest/

You just like the pink shoes. :lol:

were did the word [Peakaboo] come from

It looks so good and I can hardly wait to receive it. :smile: I’ve ordered it from Amazon.co.uk as I live in England (did I hear you say “Hurrah for the [limeys]“? ) I hope this will send it rocketing into the bestseller list. :lol:

Lots of love and kisses,

Heaven here I come!

Hey Bee! :razz:

It’s good to hear from you!, my name would be right up there
alongside yours in that forum :lol:

I tried to backtrack to one of your comments concerning your nephew
and for the life of me I just can’t find it, but I just want to say that he’s
got a great raw talent for the blues :cool: There aint nothin wrong the
blues man, I wish him success in whatever endeavors he pursues, and
hope things are alright with you…Laater from Vrock. :grin:

Yeah, nephew definately has talent. rickyveeneman@YT is where you can check him out. I just wish he had more electric stuff up(if any), but he sho’nuff got hot licks. Thanx, vrock, I’ll pass it on to him.

Hes got like five CD’s out. I think there is a link on his YT page if you’re interested :mrgreen:

Yeah, she’s [Dressed to Kill] :cool:

That’s a great request Karl! [Chic], I would think that most people would know that the word is pronounced sheek or the same as a sheik :smile:

rub his noggin with a toboggan

British sailors were called ‘Limeys’. Sailors who did not get enough vitamin C got scurvy. When this was discovered, the Brits started to take limes on long voyages, hence the name. ;-)

Hey Mike, pink is in.
Pink lemonade anyone? :lol:

She certainly is dressed to kill, but hey, no problem there, I’m already dead. :roll:

As for the pronunciation of sheik, that may depend on whom you ask. I’ve heard some people pronouncing the word sheik more like “shake” instead of “chic.” Maybe it’s [colloquial], who knows. I agree, though. [Chic] could be a good lesson. And Marina is just the sort of person that could show us the real meaning with her customary verve and [aplomb].

pink shoes

Here. Put on these beer goggles. [] [] Now isn’t that better? :razz:

Hey word master, Add +3 to your success…

Have fun, yes a copy is going in the john, (did ya do a word report on how the bathroom is called “the john” ?)

Regards,
The Bugmaster

Yeah, I’m amazed that she’s kept her cool. There’s been some commenting on HFW which seems juvenile which I might be guilty of too. But maybe she might find some of it amusing, I hope :???:

Anyways have a good one pennsyltucky :smile:

My caption: Sexy, intelligent, multi-billon dollar businesswoman who does a kick-ass job on the internet seen here during her relaxing, me-time inviting her lover to the couch. http://twitpic.com/df13e/full

I am rather interested in the origin of the word [Bondage]

[Genericide]

Well, Vrock, Utube is never far away, and you know what kind of comments get posted there whenever there’s the slightest suggestion of erotica (cleavage, a smile, dancing, a “naughty” word, etc.) so don’t beat yourself up too hard, bro.

Besides, we’re learning. Not only are we learning how to understand more words and their correct origins and usage, but also how to successfully (or respectfully) interact with our fellow classmates as well as other beings with which we share this little blue planet. It can be a cold harsh place, or a welcoming community depending on how we speak and act toward others. But you knew that already.

Don’t [fret] too much about our dear teacher and how she has to sift through the ashes for those precious few glowing embers. We all do, for the time we get to spend here.

Peace.

Hi Marina. I have pre ordered your book and can’t wait to receive it. I just wondered what happened to your your dvd’s. Will they still be available?

I ordered the book from amazon a while ago.

thanks…i’m crying :cry:

There there. It’ll be okay. Just remember: this is all a temporary arrangement. After all, in the words of the legendary Will Durant, “Civilization exists by geologic consent — subject to change without notice.” ;-)

lol Che :!:

GO :!: woot! woot!

Hey leonard, I was just hanging around over here because I never new what “I need glasses” meant. Was it actual or cynical? I was just happy to get a direct response from Marina(I was new so I was kind of like a virgin HA!) And why “shock”? Anywho I found you a pair at the Goodwill! :D :D

It’s kind of fun to time travel, especially when I saw you and Marina having that bubblocity gum affair. For a couple of years I tried to raise Morning Glories by generation to get them back to their original form. I saved all seeds. All your music posts made it worth while to get up! And you know me, not sidewalk skipping but…
