Agent Provocateur

:cool: 1st!!!!

:grin: AWESOME lesson Marina! :mrgreen: Dang the censors :!: :evil: They take all the fun out of life :!: CUTE pics of Gorby :!: :lol:

What website :?: you tease

Hi Marina.

I am just back in the UK from my trip to LA and Vegas. My Vegas trip got me thinking about the word [jackpot]. Sadly i didn’t win any jackpots while i was out there but i am interested in the origin of the use of [jack] in the word. In [jackpot] the jack is indicating something good as in winning the maximum prize. But in the phrase [jack of all trades, master of none] jack indicates someone who is merely average (or worse) at some sort of skill rather then being specialised one particular thing. So i was wondering if there was any link between the word [jackpot] and the phrase [jack of all trades, master of none]?

Thanks Marina!

Hello there :!:

You are Looking Good Gorgeous.

No more curtains, say NO to dust!!!

You know you produce the dust? Want a bet, you still have dust.

Hello Marina,how are you doing?That was so close yet so far away!First Marina’s sister stopped the show, then the censors blocked the rest of our view!Then at the very end just a quick peak!Your not just teasing us are you Marina?I love when an agent plays hard to get :lol: Funny pictures of Gorby only he can show his wears it seems!Thank you Marina for all that do for us.Hopefully will see you at a later time.Take care and enjoy the ride :!: Best regards, thematrix75

i was reading a crime fiction book wanted to know the origin of [ modus Operandi] thanks

:| those gorby pics didn’t get censored and those iz even more revealing than what’s on your video. arf! lol!

;-) agent provocateur, ah, i shall check out their sexy pirate lingerie

Dear Marina,
You are beautiful, as always. Tell me, why is skimpy lingerie is called “hot”? They usually have very little material, so it can’t feel hot when you wear them. Besides, you would look “hot” to me whether you were wearing skimpy lingerie, or not. I think it would be more accurate to say skimpy lingerie is “cool.” :mrgreen:
As a professional, University-trained, and esteemed philologist, wouldn’t you agree? :?:
Your sense of fashion is a bit different from mine. Why would you wear a baseball cap along with skimpy lingerie and a silk robe? Do you wear a baseball cap when you go to bed? Most of us wear baseball caps to shade our eyes so we can better see the baseball. :shock:
(So, please don’t tell me you wear a baseball cap to shade your eyes from your “p0rn lights” when you film yourself in skimpy lingerie while on your bed!) :razz:

If HotforWords won’t show us, Kylie will. :razz:

Why not have the link point to one of your photos in the photo-section?

Gorby stops wearing a bridal veil and starts wearing lingerie?

Throughout My Years I have heard “They’re” and Their used so often.
When I look at the spelling of “Their” it really looks nothing like the others, Which confuses me.
How did this word come to be :?: :!: :?: :!: :!:

Kylie’s figure is way better :razz:
And she has a much better voice M, don’t quit your day-job.

if you wanna call hotforwords names just a(d)d this number 150832 :mrgreen:

Damn thing didn’t link the song :evil:

and editing had a malfunction

Yes, Marina. You do provoke sexual passion in me!!!

Marina,

I am looking for the origins for the phrase, ‘Parting Shot’, would you be so kind as to enlighten me.

Спасибо красивейшие

I don’t really understand why the [lingerie] company isn’t called “Agente Provocateuse. :???:

here you go Tobi and no erotic sounds :mrgreen:

awesome yay im new here i love all of your videos god bless have a awesome day

It’s “sexy time”

That was the best NON-striptease I ever watch.

I would like to know the origins of the word [idiom] and/or the phrase [2 birds with one stone].

and later it did add the song?

When I edit, it doesn’t save, but just counts down to 0 then shows nothing changed and later it does the changes. :???:

think it is a Russian site

Nice job on this one. Marina at her best!

:razz: Where’s the website? :sad: :mrgreen:

Hey that’s an eyeopener! :lol:

Yeah, I think it’s a Russian site too

haven’t still figured out how to get a translator. :?:

Like in Candid Camera! The saleslady!

Hello Hotforwords.

I would like to know the origin of the word [Jackpot].

Like winning at a casino :) JACKPOT!!!!

Hello Marina what’s up?Just wondering the origin and how this word simple has different means [simple] One being something easy.The other meaning to my grandmother was to be a clown or a jerk,like stop being so simple.Thank you for your time ,and good luck :!:

I think it was a bastardization of “Parthian Shot,” from the maneuver by the ancient Parthians of retreating, getting the enemy to follow close behind, then turning quickly to make a volley of arrow into the stunned enemy.

Waaahhhh! My wife won’t let me keep your book! *sigh* I enjoy words so much!

Agent Provocateur, It’s the new world order, did you get a pair of Mules?

Hi, Marina!
I’m new to the site but I’ve been watching your videos for a long time. I would like to know the origin of the word [Kombucha] like Kombucha tea.

What’s the origin of the word [TEASE] ? :roll: :roll: :roll:

Has the phrase [agente provocatrice] ever been used? It would describe this video perfectly, O shapely and beautiful Marina.

viva la Marina :cool: teach is now undercover :shock:
would love to join her :oops: I am not a spy :evil:
:cool: B.B. :mrgreen:

In a similar vein: [All's Fair In Love & War].

And in a similar vain to ‘In a similar vein’: [Vanity].

Normally, this is not my kind of music, but a cousin of mine share this video on Facebook. And this guy can definitely play a 12-string guitar in this instrumental:
John Butler Trio – Ocean
I later found out that they also play the familiar “Better Than” song I heard a few years back.

Well, make that 11-strings… I guess.

I think I thought of something and then she said it was HOOVER: fullBLOODEDidiot….FBI :razz: :roll: :smile: EGAR undies :twisted: buzzed for the FBI……..from wiki

John Edgar Hoover (January 1, 1895 – May 2, 1972) was the first Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) of the United States. Appointed director of the Bureau of Investigation — predecessor to the FBI — in 1924, he was instrumental in founding the FBI in 1935, where he remained director until his death in 1972. Hoover is credited with building the FBI into a large and efficient crime-fighting agency, and with instituting a number of modern innovations to police technology, such as a centralized fingerprint file and forensic laboratories. Hoover posthumously became an increasingly controversial figure. Some critics asserted that he exceeded the jurisdiction of the FBI.[1] He used the FBI to harass political dissenters and activists, to amass secret files on political leaders,[2] and to use illegal methods to collect evidence.[3] It is because of Hoover’s long …

Great video Marina. :grin: :grin: :grin:

“There is a country in Europe where multiple-choice tests are illegal.” – Sigfried Hulzer :oops: :P AMERIGO VESPUCCI VS. CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS By the beginning of the second part of the 15th century feudalism and small kingdoms, started to get weaker and weaker. Because after that time heavy weapons were invented so, these small kingdoms and feudal places could not be able to defend themselves anymore. By that time, empires such as Spain, Portugal, England and some other empires like these started to become powerful because they have those heavy weapons. After these days small kingdoms and the bourgeoisies in those feudal areas and big kingdoms should find another way to earn money and goods. Mankind have always wanted more and more so this ambition makes people to find another way. So, they started discoveries all around the world in order to find valuable things, valuable places and shortcuts to Asia so as to trade directly with those Asian countries. By starting discoveries Spain and Portugal get stronger day by day because in Spain and Portugal the monarch was directly helping the voyagers by giving them ships and crews so these voyagers were going to the ocean-sea in order to discover the new world. from MEGA

She can’t, that’s bad for business ;-)

That’s either a striking bit of scholarship or a highly creative prank. Think I’ll go Google it and find out. :grin:

So cute!

Did you hear about the two red blood corpuscles? They loved in vein! :mrgreen:

I’m from the Pittsburgh area, and we call all carbonated drinks from a can [pop] and much of the rest of the US calls these same drinks [soda]. Can you tell me where these words came from and who is using the terms correctly?

That was good playing. Thanks for that animaltaz. 11 strings and it still sounded great. Last year, I was looking at my 12-string guitar, it was an old, beat up Guild 02, which had some kind of manufacturing flaw and it sold for cheap. I picked it up used for really cheap. Later, I was talking with an old black man who looked at me through bloodshot eyes and asked what kind of 12-string guitar I was buying strings for. I told him. “Oh.”, was his answer. “Yeah”, I admitted “it doesn’t have much of a sound.” So, I was looking at this thing and I decided, since i preferred classical guitars as far as their wider neck (more gap between the strings), I decided to string this Guild with only 6 strings. Later on, I heard of other people doing this to their 12-string guitars. After stringing this dog of a guitar with 6 strings, I suddenly had a steel string guitar that had the wide set that I was comfortable with, and the guitar had an improved sound with only six strings. Since then, I’ve done it on 2 other quality 12-strings, and had to retire my Takamine f312s, the guitar I’d never thought I’d pack away.

 
Hi mountainboy32,
She talked about it here.

I’ve always wondered about that term. Thank you.

And? Tobi, did you have a look at Marina’s sisters?

….. what does croat mean and how did they get the title …..

sorry Tobi = Tonby :oops:

Why is that only in hq marina?

Thank you, Marina!

Lixdesic? Copy and paste is a good idea. Tonyb. :razz:

James, have you received your book yet? Amazon UK have told me their supplier is have trouble getting hold of it.

Plus I think we talked about this before. :???:

Check Marina’s tweets in the
last week. I think she is going
to stay with HQ vs HD as many
people have trouble viewing HD
even in HD-std. Most people do
not have a high speed connection
or their PCs are slow.

*sigh* A moment of weakness!

Hey Venomrock67, what browser are you using? I use FireFox and it has different plug ins you can down load free to set it up any way you want to. Here is a picture of how I have mine set up. The translator also adds itself to the collum when you right click your mouse on a page.

http://i28.tinypic.com/34no23d.jpg

I had actually once applied for employment with the CIA in the summer of 1985 and they turned me down but said I had had some affilation with them-must hae been Escast in Waterville. I wrote on the application that it might be interesting to work undercover as a school teacher in a foreign land or work on a CIA-run radio station. was that why they tried to make me insane in grad school. I deduced later that if I wanted to see the world , maybe I should get a job with an international airline.! Boy that shortwave radio. My evil brother chris got to do some foreign travel with his job with the toledo public schools!!

no, it’s not. it will actually increase popularity. can you think of someone whose career got hurt by nude pictures? i can’t. on the contrary:

–> carmen electra.
–> audrina patridge.
–> cassie venture.

paris hilton’s sex tape “scandal” was in 2004. i think it’s pretty safe to assume that this at least doubled the number of people that knew her. in 2007, (surprise, surprise) another tape showed up which shows her naked in some bath tub.

Well, I hope she doesn’t hate me for saying this… but that is a totally stupid idea! Whats the point of having $5000 HD camera when you don’t make videos in HD. I don’t think the PC speed is true either, loads of people have computers that can play HD. If peoples computers are slow, it’s their fault, and as for internet connection, I could watch HD when I was on a 1kbps connection… I don’t think that taking a step backwards is a good idea at all. Well, I guess it will change now to ” wow boobs in hq”

I have not ordered it yet.

Look at how Marina is all over this page.. not fair

http://www.encyclopediadramatica.com/YouTube_View_Fraud

Yeah something like that. I was a Bèta student. ;)
Think you gonna see me call him Tobi some other time. :smile:

I was not talking fully nude, but that would be nice. I at least wanted to see her breast with the lingerie that’s hot to. :mrgreen: Also sex sells and that for dam sure. This is one reason Marina is popular she hot and she is good with her definition sexy appeal.

No M is the exemption to the rule, the naked truth will ruin her business. ;)
And she agrees with me, cause she is not gonna show you (or me).

Ps. Have you guys noticed those see-through straps? (this is what we call camouflage) For my taste there to big anyway. :mrgreen:

I think it’s funny! I like how I got into business with sxephil on that page!

It is funny, but now I have seen that graph……

Work out?

Will you be watching it on cloud nine? :smile:

James, I don’t think Marina is going
to hate you. You are correct it is not
the PC speed but the collective
maintenance and having the proper
video card. It many cases it is people’s
fault for not defragging and fixing
corrupted files or getting a UPS.
Look at all of the complaints people
have made about their PCs on this site
and the problem of viewing the video.
For every single complaint there
probably 100s of others having the same
issue. Those people are the silent majority.
I think Marina should try it to see
if views are increased. I think many
of the other Youtubers have been
using HQ.

Can you PLZ make a vid with the origin of “NOOB” From Panama….

Good is trying; late dying the wool too…[shackel] :grin:

What do you mean? Why do my videos have less comments than other videos? Because my audience is actually older than 12 and older people don’t make as many comments as really young people. They also don’t rate as much. My audience tends to watch my videos passively.

Might be because you also have autoplay?

What HD, all I see is a HQ button so where is the HD? Could you post a printscreen? :???:

It up to you what I mean with camouflage ; )

Probably be out of print by the time you get a Round Tuit. :razz:

Any other Brits got theirs yet?

Maybe they don’t have a site, so isn’t there some kind of way to add the comments on the site to that.

where does the term [dark horse] come from?
now i know it means a team or player or horse i guess that isn’t the favourite by any means but still it has the potential to win and suprise everyone but why a dark horse?
:?: :?: :?: :?:

I miss Jack :cry:

If you’re out there, this one is for you.

i would like to know the origin of the word [ mary jane]

we call em cold drinks in the south

He’s on Twitter right now Rijk. :smile: Join Twitter and talk to him or all of us that is over there also. ;-)

Thanks mountainboy32——http://www.bing.com/maps/“>[pot-luck]USA…And for the Marina request :smile: you made earlier…

Things happed in life for a reason. God is Lord over all.

Hi Rijk,
Goto Youtube.com/hotforwords
watch one of the videos from last
week and before. Notice the HD
button on the vcr controls bar
below the video.
When the HD button is black the video
plays in Normal Quality. When you
click the HD button it turns red
and then the video plays in full HD
quality.

By the same token, when you watch
the Agent Prov video, you will see
HQ black which is normal quality
and HQ red is High Quality.

:| encyclopediadramatica, that’s like mockawikipedia or something

Captain Jack, Pedantickarl or Marina could better explain that question, but I don’t think it could be done because of it being two different sites and no way to link the comments. She had tried the voting with the stars and views but I believe YT wouldn’t or couldn’t count them as actually being watched from here to count on her YT site. That is why she puts up the go to YT and watch the video comment and vote. So we need to keep going to YT watching ,commenting and voting for the video then come back here and converse with each other. ;-)

What a lucky puppy!!

Also if you could origin the word “onomatopoeia” for me that would be great. Always wondered where it came from.

Join twitter, thanks for the invitation, but I a am a bit scared it will eat up way more time than I can spare. ;-)

@capman911 (55.1.1.2.1)

So if we go to YT, to watch and comment here, but these comments are not counted, than wouldn’t it be simpler to comment on YT. So that part of the site is than redundant? And if that is gone, the biggest student magnet is gone. And what will than become of the site? :???:

I don’t like it, but I agree with James. Under the tv I got a comp with a cheap mobo (dual atom processor) and use the onboard video and yes it takes 5 times longer for the video to load, but once loaded it plays it flawless and the picture is so much sharper than HQ. Keep the HD. ;-)
I noticed that on the site they are always in HQ so by keeping the HD you got 3 choices. :smile:

maybe she means this ;-)

 
Hi Rijk,
I don’t think that is correct about the 3 choices.
There are only 2 choices at any given time.

HD-black (normal quality)
HD-red (HD quality)

Go check out the previous HD video on this site
called Going Stir Crazy and watch it. Click the HD button.

– or –

HQ-black (normal quality)
HQ-red (HQ quality)

Check out the above video. Play it and look at the HQ button. It is either red or black. Two quality modes.

Check out my comment over at the Forum in the Technology Help Desk for my graphs that I did a while back. Run your own tests — and especially look at your own graphs when viewing the video here versus on YouTube and watch the graphs when in normal quality versus the HD or HQ quality.

Yes, you may wait 5 times longer for a video to download, and for everyone of you, there will be 10-20 people that will not wait, which is a loss of viewership.

In reference to 55.1.1.2.2

It is redundant to comment here and then on YT but the comments on YT help with Marina’s overall ratings. I watch the video over here then go to YT and vote and comment and watch the video again so her site gets the views, votes and comments. Then I come back here and hang out with friends and make conversation. Plus here is where Marina takes the word requests and occasionally comments back to us. I wish there was someway the two sites could be combined, but Marina makes her money from YT and its adds.

Dear nimby45

If you want to request a word you have to put it in square brackets like this: [onomatopoeia]. That way the charming and sensuous Lady Marina will know you are interested in it.

Enjoy the site and order the book if you haven’t already; all of Marina’s fans want to see it on Amazon’s best seller list. :lol:

 
Hi Rijk,
The two sites, YouTube and this site have different objectives.

The video is stored on YouTube, and therefore the measure of appreciation, gratitude and recognition of that video is best done over at YouTube as Mike had mentioned. YouTube has different ways of measuring views when viewing an embedded video as the one above versus viewing a video on YouTube.

Also, in some cases, the video may / will play better on YouTube than here. Why? It depends on where the caching servers are located in relation to where you live and in relation to this web site and the origin point of the video.

The objective of this site is to build a community of like minded people who appreciate talking about words in general or topics related to the video title. Of course we also do a some clowning around and have lots of fun. Additionally, there is the Forum where other topics can be discussed.

Giving appreciation to Marina on the videos over on YouTube ensures that she will be doing many more videos.

Hi! Just wondering if you could enlighten me about the origins of the word [monster]. Thanks.

I was curious as to where the work [security] came from. :?:

Agent provocateurs and scapegoats are of the same stuff, but not from the same stock and origin. To the uneducated eye, they appear to be running with the crowd, but in reality, they don’t. Agent provocateurs are trailers, and scapegoats are headers. When an agent provocateur meets a scapegoat, some pretty intense running may occur. Sometimes, they even kiss, but they do it in a very special way.

It’s provocatrice, Bob. Provocatrice.

I am playing around with comments right now….. did away with the paged comments.. wondering if comments should be reversed (newest at the top) or sequential (newest at the bottom)… hmmm… :???:

ya, fuck paged comments.

But, now what do I do with the order of comments? Reversed (newest at the top).. or like this with the newest at the bottom?

;-) Carrot carts and pharts—cAR-rear—buying what is being sold. soul weight it down the line…naked food and nude thoughts…sell me some :P

Crazy as stirred burnt water…h2o :lol:

newest at the bottom is more “natural”. like … intuitively?

Coolness! Going to leave it like this! I know.. ‘shoulda’ listened to you before.. but my server was crashing and I had to do the paged comments thing. Now I am on a cluster of 5 servers and I can handle all kinds of traffic :-)

test

:o five servers :!: you can run your own online newspaper from here now

cool. thx.:)

You are right, I thought the site showed HQ and YT HD they both show HD :oops: YT loaded slow yesterday evening, maybe a lot more were watching it and there are less watching it at the site.
Tested it (phishing video) now, site 3 min 12 sec, YT 3 min 15 sec. So there is no difference in loading time.

Testing loading time of HQ versus HD is more difficult cause there is not one video in both HQ and HD. ;-)

I would like to request the phrase [coyote ugly] please?

Hey Marina how are you?

last week i had a discussion with some friends about the origin of the [banana] word, could you help us?

Hugs from latin america! :smile:

So it is! Thank you for pointing that out. However, I think “provocante” is more fitting, meaning “alluring, seductive, tempting”.
How about “Agente Alléchante”? Does that work? :???: Lusciously lickable. :twisted:

Oh good. I wondered what was wrong different right.
Now to be consistent, how about doing the same with recent comments? Though I suppose that would still be inconsistent with forum posts and the twitter widget.
Why make things difficult when, with a little bit of effort, you can make them bloody impossible?

Bloody impossible happens and now I will forget the advantages of the numbers on the pages…music from Russia :razz: Good morning from the Great Lakes USA :smile: “everything is beautiful, because the God concept is the rule”…little bit of leonard

The bottom is the top to me…bass strings are loudest when herded strings attached like plucked in JAPAN!

the bottom land produced the highest grade of buckwheat!

word request made by leonard are psuedo transcriptions and read like blue blood bled by the green swamps in [space] :o :razz: :x :grin: :smile: The ["Koto"] is the national Musical Instrument of Japan for over a Thousand years!!…[The cats me-ow] :lol:

Hi Marina – I would like to know where the phrase [dead ringer] came from as in you’re a dead ringer for…. Thanks – love your book! – Cheers, Choicelink

@capman911 55.1.1.2.3, PK 55.1.1.2.4

I think in pictures ;-)
So YT is the office and the public street while the site is the living-room the walls are made of glass but you can only get in if you register M holds the keys so there is control over the visitors. And occasionally looks around the door to see if we are not tearing her place apart. And believe me I try :twisted:

Though I don’t get the ad thing, there are ads in the video on the site as well. And even other ads, I thought the site would generate more cause there are more ads? :???:

Thank you very much, just got used to it and now madam changes the layout of the room. :evil:

Should I do most recent at the top?

Let me help you out.

If you have a word request first checklist this to see if I have already done the word.
If I haven’t, then go ahead and post a word request as a comment in the latest lesson here on this website.
Be sure to put the word or phrase within these brackets [ ] like this:

I would like to request the word [dog] or the phrase [bigger than a bread box].
That is where I will look for new word requests. You only need to make a word request once as I will search through ALL comments, no matter how far they go back in time!

So your request [Clone]

64.1.1.5.1

No you have that now :evil:
I had gotten used to this site being the only one where the oldest was at the bottom. Kind of If everybody goes left I go right. And I like that. Having the newest one on the top makes sense.
The last one should be the loudest so on top.

Marina, the question of newest comment
at top was discussed last year. I’m in the car
and can’t provide the ref.

Even though it is more natural as aLx says with
newest at bottom, the problem is that
newbies will not read down the page
and may not find the comment box
despite instructions. We saw that last
year. Also, the newst at bottom is essentially
burried from the video which is at the
top.

I think newest at top is more time relevant
and the good nes is that replied would
still follow a natural order.

I’ll find the comments from last year when i
get home.

Should I do most recent at the top?

Marina, it’s your site – you make the decision. No matter what you do, some malcontents will complain about it; you can’t please all the people all of the time.
The people who complain are probably objecting to change, so do what you think is best, and stick to it. You are most likely more qualified to decide what is best than any of the ones complaining.
Trust in your own judgement and may the force be with you. :smile:

OK.. new comments at the top… I found it confusing as well.. as everything seems to be new comments at the top these days.. my Recent Comments Widget, Twitter, YouTube, etc.. I know that new comments at the bottom seems more “natural” to some.. but it’s tough to scroll through all the comments just to see where the latest conversation is.

I’ll make a poll anyway.. as I was in the process of making one.

64.1.1.5.1

I’ll make a picture of it with words, so it should be right up your street.

Imagine. A group of your students in a tunnel. Tunnels echo, right? So what will sound the loudest The first student who speaks, or the last? What will have the most (highest) volume?
Your time starts now………….

Times up, its the last thing that was said.
So where should the last comment be?

On the other hand you could say i want it to read like a book. Than leave it like it is now.
I have made you doubt and that’s all I wanted to do. Don’t do what everybody tells you to do, but do it for a reason.

I have said it before and I’ll say it again: its not what you do, but why you do it.

He, come on don’t do that. How do you see the comments?

Is it a book, or an area where your students meet and talk about the latest thing?

Ps that bottom picture, are you going for the Mortiga look

I’d like to request [germane].
thanks!

testing my send to Twitter comment thing on my website.. sorry guys.. although I think this is pretty cool :-)

You tease :twisted:

Will you ever go on Howard Stern?

Sure.. I would go on Howard Stern. If he wants me on there. Do you think I can handle myself on there?

Hell YES!!! :lol:

GO FOR IT MARINA…writing contest to Howard!!

:twisted:

I think you are PRETTY COOL too :lol:

The scrolling problem can be alleviated with organizing the comments in what I think is called an hierarchy. That is, comments would be listed with the same look and feel as it does now, except the comments to comments (strings) would be organized in folder fashion, easily accessible with (+) and (-) signs located adjacent to the starting comment of the string, as is done in files and folders. Not only would it shorten the list of comments, but it would encourage people to read more of the comments, instead of being intimidated by what seems like an endless list of comments, going on page after page, with the dried bones of forum surfers, strewn along the side of the trail, what remains of those who got lost looking for that one comment they were looking for. (What page was it on?)

Ooops, this comment was intended to be in response to a string further on down the page.

Absolutley, I will put in a request to Baba Booey to contact your people.

BTW It has been a while Marina, how have you been?

think it’s more a question of how well can you handle a leather paddle.

:lol: :cool:

I got a feeling you want everybody to like you.
You need to get some attitude, not everybody is gonna like you and on some issues you just got to make a stand. I see you avoiding that on the site. Could be my mistake, but it seems that way to me.
So no I don’t think you are ready for it. You are / seem to nice (and I mean this in a good way) for a show like that. Hate to see you get hurt.

If you want to train being a bitch you can pick on me. : )

Ps, sorry for the no in post 64.1.1.5.1 should have been yes. :oops:

(no comment)

Fantastic! Working hard though!! You?

…. Got the T-shirt

@ He you changed your posting anyone guess what he wrote

you threw me off with that if you want to train being a bitch comment. had me going there for a minute.

:wink:

sowwy about that

:lol: some like it hot and I don’t mean a lit cigar…what color is your hAIR? :lol:

*chicken* :oops: [yellow] :cool: {4HotForWords}Kraftwerk “Schaufensterpuppen” + “Men and Mannequins”
…scrib and not REaD :cry:

I would like to make a request for a word (Perfume). This way she can talk about what Perfume she uses and talk all different types of Perfume.

I think that she should have a new book out about (dinning) or (enterainment) words and also share with us her travel what she would choose.

 
On a related note astro573,
Marina made an awesome video on the origin of the word Cologne. At the end she references the word perfume and tells you which one she favors.

Cologne.

 
Catching up on Agent Provocateur for a refresher.

Yep! I saw that vid maybe a couple of months ago or so!

Btw, I think M and Bai Ling make a cute couple whattya think? :wink: :mrgreen:

Hey Capman, to answer your first question i’m using safari as my browser and it’s a laptop setup and I don’t have a mouse. I noticed on the pic of your setup you have a google translator setup at the top of your page on one of your bars I believe. I looked at my plugins didn’t see anything about a translator (maybe it could be somewhere else on my computer) so I attempted a couple of times to find one to download but safari informs me that it doesn’t recognize it. Was using a computer at the library for awhile which ran on windows xp. I definitely notice subtle differences between the two but I think i’m getting used to it, but i’m still stumped on this.

other thing I notice I seem to be not getting reply notifications from HFW on my e-mail account. :???:

thanks for the direction , [clone] so you think my request is in like flynn ? or is it in like flin? OH :!: I think I just found my next request. do you assist marina with research? where is her next book signing? or is it in like flynt? I mean [in like flynt] do you live with marina? did I see a pic of her standing next to weezer? she is so cool. over n out

It all works fine, Bob. Provocateuse, provocatrisante, provocateresse, we get the meaning, whatever the grammar. Of course, good grammatical skills are always more elegant than mere trashtalk.

Well, she’s not exactly a sister nun fresh out of her convent, that’s for sure. But she’s not that provocante neither. Perhaps just a little spicy and juicy in her ways and deeds, that’s all.

“The lusts and greeds of the body scandalize the Soul; but it has to come to heel.”
– Logan Pearsall Smith (1865-1946)

You said your not getting replies from HFWs in your email. Is it a reply from Marina herself when she answers you back from here on a comment or from her messaging service? I noticed the last two replies Marina sent me from here after I asked her a question I didn’t receive a reply in my email either. I just noticed them when I went back and reread the older comments to catch up on the new replies. I do get replies from her when I email her direct but not from these comments.
Ask Pedantickarl about the Safari browser and see if he can help you as far as a translator. You can always use Babelfish.com or look up Google Translator and just add it to you favorites list. http://translate.google.com/?hl=en#

Now that’s talent! Some excellent playing and fingerwork, whether it’s eleven or twelve strings. Thanks animalntaz! :razz:

I used to get reply notifications from whoever is replying to your comments here under the lessons videos.(it isn’t like I get a lot of them) :mrgreen: But like you when I’m re-reading older comments is when I notice them. It could also be my e-mail account because ever since I got the setup i have now my e-mail hasn’t been working right, it’s a hotmail account. You know when you try to send a message to people you know and you want to put a link in there, I can’t put a working link in there, not even pasting a url will work, but i recently set up another e-mail account on comcast.net and everything I used to do before i can do there. I did get a couple of replies from her a while ago both from the comments area and when I contacted her about about a tech issue from the CONTACT BUTTON. was just wonderin that’ all

So if we click send to Twitter it will send the whole comment to the Twitter site?

Very GOOD :smile:

Yea, 1 + 1 = 3
: )

No I am just a student like you.
There are TA’s at the site they do a lot on the background. You can recognition them by a colour around there comments The head TA has the blue colour like Marina has the pink.

Unlike most of the other students I am critical towards her. She isn’t great at everything she does, and telling her she is, is not gonna help her. Think she likes you to be honest not to just sucking up to her, but I could be wrong.

Don’t know if your request makes it to a video.
Marina does all the research herself. Think her
next booksign is in LA

No I don’t live with her.

Yes she is cool. But don’t tell her I said that. ;-)

Hi donnalee, I’m from the Pittsburgh area, too. I’ve lived elsewhere ever since I was old enough to get out on my own, and one thing I found was that most people think we folks from Pittsburgh talk with a very strange accent. Does that make us “wrong?” Nope. Just different.

According to my linguistics instructor, there’s no “right” or “wrong” with these kinds of terms. They’re just [colloquial]. People in different places use different terms, and quite often have different pronunciation habits as well.

For example, do you normally use the word “bucket,” or do you say “pail” instead? Many people who live south of the Mason-Dixon line tend to say “pail.” Would you fill up your bucket (or pail) from a “faucet,” or from a “spigot?” We always used the word “spigot” when I was a kid, but now I call the same thing a “faucet” or a “tap” because that’s what the people around me are more apt to understand. That’s all there is to it.

On the West Coast, more people seem to use the word “soda” to describe what I used to call “pop.” These days, I usually just refer to them all as “soft drinks” or by their brand name.

In southern California, many people pronounce the word “insurance” with the accent on the first syllable, like “INCH-rance” instead of stressing the second syllable “in-SURE-ance,” the way I’m used to hearing it.

There’s a lot of variation in word usage and pronunciation from one locale to another in almost any language. That’s one of the things I found interesting about the study of linguistics.

Mountainboy, if you had watched all her videos, you would know that she DID appear topless in one! :twisted: :razz:

:razz: :cool: [MAKE IT REAL] ;-)

:arrow: Not Fantasy :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

pop vs. soda map.

I’m in Colorado and have always called it “pop”, but many of my co-workers, who are mostly from other areas, answered “soda” in a worktime poll. Oo

Those are adorable pics of the puppy in “lingerie” but that was a dirty trick Marina! :razz:

make it real

I should have seen that one coming :mrgreen:

One of the girls on the MGID website looked a bit like my fomer wife’s sister with strawberry blonde hair. she looked a bit stoned on drugs and looked very sexy to me!!!WOW! I guess the assumption was that Sherry was naked. And also had a tender looking young pretty face and some kind of plastic in her hair. I wanted to j*** o** but my mom was in the next room! Be fun to see the real thing!

Oh that was soooooooo not fair :)

It’s a mission of love

We don’t need that kind of comments on this site.

Personally, I think it’s a lot of fun to be provocative, especially when your ‘victims’ are people lacking in passion, imagination, and life. And it’s even more fun to provoke people that deserve it due to bad behavior on their part. I’m a (mostly) retired ubertroll, so I’ve had my fun online provoking people that sorely deserved it. And, although I mainly did it for fun, I have been able to learn a thing or two about human nature along the way. For one, plenty of people are looking to be provoked, and respond quite eagerly to being antagonized. People who are politically partisan are especially easy to provoke and relish a good fight/argument. The secret to successful provocation is to not take yourself or your opponent all that seriously. Indeed, I’ve learned that just about every human being there is should not be taken all that seriously, especially those lacking in humor. If you can’t laugh at yourself, then you are fair game to be made the butt of jokes. Somebody’s got to laugh at you after all… if you won’t do it, somebody like me will. :lol:

LOL, Errin : )

:twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :| ahahaha !!!
