    Spartan seems to easy.
    Your sister is tricky.

    laconic (or related to this word): 300 BC Greece. Pithy, sort, crisp all describe “laconic” style. Not yet sure about clue: “if”.

  • Will

    im just throughin this around… but sparta?

  • http://www.GoForThisWorld.com Hs4Mm

    Got the clue “If” also:

    When Philip of Macedon threatened them with, “If I enter Laconia, I will raze Sparta to the ground,” the Spartans’ reply was, “If.”

    One famous example comes from the time of the invasion of Philip II of Macedon. With key Greek city-states in submission, he turned his attention to Sparta and sent a message: “If I win this war, you will be slaves forever.” In another version, Philip proclaims: “You are advised to submit without further delay, for if I bring my army into your land, I will destroy your farms, slay your people, and raze your city.” The Spartan ephors sent back a one word reply: “If.”[16] Subsequently, both Philip and Alexander would avoid Sparta entirely.

    Hmmm – one more clue?

    Is this also a former Policeman’s favorite word? :???:

    That wouldn’t come up on Google. One would have to know that some other way.

  • errol

    Sparta?

  • http://wired.reddit.com/sexygeeks_2008/?s=top pedanticKarl

     
    I’m going out on a limb with Sparta as the clues all seem to point to that as a common denominator.
    No one has mentioned the clue “300″, except 300 BC which probably is not precise. The “300″ refers to the 300 Spartans who fought against Xerxes and the the movie title “The 300 Spartans” depicting the Battle of Thermopylae.

    SPARTAN.

    That kiss at the end was the biggest kiss I’ve ever gotten. Except for once when I was petting this horse.

    Thanks, Marina. And sis. Beautiful vid.

    I logged in to this site to post laconic, but found Hs4Mn got there first. He even got the “IF’ clue.

    Next question, is Marina’s teaching maieutic?

    Anyway, shot in the dark: terse

  • Venomrock67

    Well, I don’t know about pithy,short,if and crisp so my answer is going off of 300 and Greece.

    I’m guessing SPARTAN :grin: It’s probably a long shot just using two of the six clues, but that’s my answer!

  • Venomrock67

    I can see some people guessed “Spartan” or “Sparta” Maybe that is too easy, Oh well we will just have to see! won’t we. :smile:

    Yeah, I noticed it right off, leonard. And I appreciated your thought the other day. No fun being away from Marina & everybody. Had some privacy issues which led to some computer issues, some of which I haven’t been able to resolve yet even. Then had to work some insane hours through all of August. THEN met my muchachos in the Rio Grande valley for what has become a traditional start-of-hunting-season whitewing dove hunt last week. At least now I can get back on here. Life is good again.

    Marina did a video lesson on the root of that word called sesquipedalian. In the sesquipedalian video lesson, look closely in the first 6 seconds and you’ll see your long word there. Marina also talks about that long word at the end of the lesson.

    Dear Marina,
    You look wonderful in those low-cut dresses. And good luck to you in your website redesign. You know much more about web programming than I do, so I’m confident you will produce a wonderful web experience. :smile:
    As for the guess the word game, I think it’s a treat you enjoyed in your recent trip to Greece, where they make this wonderful baked food (at about 300 degrees) called “Baklava.” Whether it’s your secret word or not, I hope you enjoy a little baklava, sometime! :razz:

    MY GUESS THE WORD GAME ANSWER IS :

    LACONIC!!!

    It’s a word named after Laconia – a city-state of ancient Greece that in the vicinity of Sparta! Laconic was a blunt, dry way of speaking to which the Spartans were renowned. They used this to method of speaking to deliver their message in the most efficient manner. They didn’t want to be seen as the Athenians, which they saw as a weakness.

    MAN I HOPE I WIN!!! :mrgreen:

  • t4214u14me

    The answer is laconic. Please give me the neurogasm box Marina. Please, please, please. :|

  • pandion

    I am never very good at these, but my guess is “Laconic.”

  • davecodave

    I’m gunna say “The Raiders” because my sound is out on my puter so I couldn’t hear the clue. And everyone elses answer seems to be just as random from my perspective. :razz:

    As I was watching THE BEST LITTLE WHOREHOUSE IN TESAS with Dolly Parton and Burt Reynolds from 1982 on CMT, I began to hear outdoors towards the end of the movie my little niece Amanda who is married to an enlisted man in the Navy, her heckling that I do not know how to feel love. Marina, I have some affectionate feeliings for you. I used to think Dolly Parton had some kind of gland problem but she had a christmas special in the 80′s that made her seem like a warm caring loving woman. My half brother from my mom’s first marriage lives in Sevierville, TN near Dollyland. He and I are not friends.

  • http://www.tony-bernhoffer-photography.com tonyb

    You got on those geek looking glasses taped together in the middle like Murray Brzynski in the 80′s TV series RIPTIDE. he was the computer geek while his smooth operator friends got all the babes. It kind of dehumanizes intelligent people to say that geniusses do not like girls. I had read in Stansfield Turner book on the CIA SECRECY AND DEMOCRACY that the operations specialsts in the CIA felt superior to the technical people. I had to wonder if some of the giggillos that may have been trying to hustle women I have shown an interest in since 1986 were CIA field agents, spies operations specialists. No one has to help america or uphold america. This country does not have to live period. But my attitude was THEY MAKE MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING.

    Why don’t you make a black border for it but set the size to something like 500px long then for every 100 comments just remove 100px from the border, that way the image will slowly come into view.

    A TREE…It takes 100 – 3,000 years for a bodhi tree to fully grow.

    The term “Bodhitree” is also widely applied to currently existing trees, particularly the Sacred Fig Now back to wisdom :P On a general level, the Wisdom Kings are viewed as the guardians of the Buddhas and bodhisattvas. In particular, the Five Wisdom Kings are the protectors of the Five Wisdom Buddhas.

    According to the esoteric doctrine of the Three Wheels, whereas Buddhas represent pure concepts and bodhisattvas teach through compassion, Wisdom Kings are the embodiment of the wheel of injunction and teach through fear, shocking nonbelievers into faith.

  • Bram

    HELLO Marina, this is my first word request I became a subscriber of your youtube channel some time ago and I have been waiting for a good word request. I`d like to know the origen of the word (train wreck) as in I left my dog in the house and when I came back the house was a train wreck. Thanks cheers from Mexico.

  • http://www.GoForThisWorld.com Hs4Mm

    A few responses:

    1) Regarding: “I don’t know how to do it”

    1.a) To make an image that progressively reveals itself as the number of comments grows, here’s just an idea, not sure how to implement it: Make the image very tall and put it as a background to the comments area. When there is only one comment, only the tip of the image is seen; as the number of comments grows, more of the image is revealed.

    1.b) Suppose you want an image in the margin that acts like an arrow saying “Hey! Look There! You can see comments! And you can add to it”: You might try something as shown in this example: http://www.w3schools.com/css/tryit.asp?filename=trycss_background-attachment The simley face image stays at the upper left corner irrespective of the amount of vertical scroll.

    2) Regarding the argument that some pages have thousands of comments and so we must have some level of paging: Posts with thousands of comments are old posts that, I guess, very few are likely to be seeing at any given time; so it would be OK if such posts take a long time to load. Most of the actively viewed posts will not have that many comments and so would be able to handle a large viewership with all comments on one page. Once these pages accumulate a large number of comments, the number of people viewing those pages simultaneously will reduce also, I guess.

    Hope you get well soon!

    Oh this is too easy! I just google all those words and got this :
    “Pithy Short if 300 Greece crisp ” and some secret google tricks.
    First off when I seen the number “300″ I thought of the movie. I know a bit of Greece from a girl friend that lives over there.

    I found this.

    http://www.thefreedictionary.com/laconic

    Adj. 1. laconic – brief and to the point; effectively cut short; “a crisp retort”; “a response so curt as to be almost rude”; “the laconic reply; `yes’”; “short and terse and easy to understand”

    [Latin Lacnicus, Spartan, from Greek Laknikos, from Lakn, a Spartan (from the reputation of the Spartans for brevity of speech).]

    Noticing that Spartans was in there that made the match for the movie 300.. All I needed to guess the word was to google the free dictionary.

    This could not have been any easier! ;-)

    Mmmmuuuuaahhhhh!!!!!!

  • http://mentalgrammarhasbeensetup.blogspot.com äläx

    of course i’m not evil.

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/CantwrCymreig Evan Owen

    OOOO, FUN lesson!

    Captain Jack is right, of course: “laconic,” rooted in the ancient Laconia region of southern Greece, of which Sparta was the capital.

    “300″ refers to the number of Spartan warriors who held off the “million man” Persian army at the pass of Thermopylae in 480 BC.

    “If” is the famous Spartan reply to the threat of Phillip of Macedon:
    “If I win this war, you will be slaves forever.”

    China is threatening to cut off imports of American chicken, but poultry experts have at least one reason to suspect it may be an empty threat: Many Chinese consumers would miss the scrumptious chicken feet they get from this country.

    :oops: :-)
    China Moves to Retaliate Against U.S. Tire Tariff (September 14, 2009) “We have these jumbo, juicy paws the Chinese really love,” said Paul W. Aho, a poultry economist and consultant, “so I don’t think they are going to cut us off.”

    Chicken exports were thrust to the forefront of American-Chinese trade tensions on Sunday when China took steps to retaliate for President Obama’s decision to levy tariffs on Chinese tires. The Chinese announced that they were considering import taxes on automotive products and chicken meat, a development that some trade experts feared could escalate.

    I must learn basics, but now back to the project….peace on ;-)

    Hello, HotForWords. While I was walking on the streets of New York City, I happened to pass by a girl who, when in passing, turned to look at the skyscrapers and exclaimed, “Those are some tall-ass buildings!” I have lived in New York City my entire life, during which I have heard the expression “-ass” used in a wide variety of contexts. For example, “That’s a big-ass dog,” or “That’s a sweet-ass bike!” Not only is “-ass” applied to nearly every adjective in colloquialism, but it is also used commonly, especially by the youth. So, HotForWords, I propose a challenge: Can you find out how this slang expression came about?

  • http://captainjack.ws Captain Jack

    Really?!?! When I hear the word It always draws up images of an outhouse. When my parents divorced I went from a lavish life style of nice house with horses to a rat shack wood fired stove and a two seater outhouse. I was scared of the darn thing. I was afraid of falling in the big hole. So what’s the connection? They jokingly called it a penthouse.

    What I’m discovering about words is there is more than just the dictionary definition of the word, but a personal experience back story. I don’t think anyone really conjures up images of the dictionary pages defining the word.

    So my question to everyone is. What words do you know, that have an odd back story?

  • Greatest Potential

    Right. In that HFW vid you did, I think you explained how a penthouse was like combining two rooms together so a penthouse could even be like a getaway love shack

    From the clues Greece and 300 it’s narrowed to spartan or sparse – both from Sparta which stressed a minimalist, military lifestyle – or laconic from Laconia, the primary region of the Sparta city-state. When pithy, meaning terse and to the point, is added, this narrows it to laconic.

    my answer: laconic

  • mcridiculose24

    Well, in in World History AP right now, and we learned about the rival state related to greece stressing millitary…sparta. I dont know what pithy means, so i looked it up, and it was actually originated from sparta meaning tenseness of speech…

    then i went to this http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/laconic

    and found out the correct pronunciation would be “laconically” not laconic…. and also….. wardenjohnmacone didnt give the right “part-of-speech” of the word…..

    [Ascorbic acid] :oops: sometimes stress is too much__-__

    [] [] drink much fluids… :cool: The body does not manufacture vitamin C on its own, nor does it store it. It is therefore important to include plenty of vitamin C-containing foods in your daily diet.

    All fruits and vegetables contain some amount of vitamin C. Foods that tend to be the highest sources of vitamin C include green peppers, citrus fruits and juices, strawberries, tomatoes, broccoli, turnip greens and other leafy greens, sweet and white potatoes, and cantaloupe.

    Too little vitamin C can lead to signs and symptoms of deficiency, including:

    Dry and splitting hair
    Anemia
    Decreased ability to fight infection
    Possible weight gain because of slowed metabolism …[scurvy]…Thank you for your moment and please be well :-)

    Hello dizzychihuahua,
    Today is your lucky day. Marina did the origin of the word ‘Hello’ back in June 2007. It’s an awesome video. Check it out.

    But not that alot is not an English word!

  • CampKohler – Sacramento CA

    That’s the wrong side! The 300 were the defenders and the Immortals were in the Persion army, attacking. BTW, Alexander the Great was born 124 years later.

    You gotta watch more of the History Channel!

  • CampKohler – Sacramento CA

    That’s because the pages were made up of 40 top-level comments, under which any number of subordinate replies could be (and often were) made.

    You must pay attention, Grasshopper.

  • CampKohler – Sacramento CA

    As late as I am to the game, it is all over, including the shouting.
    .
    Re the new design:
    1. What happened to the comment-numbering system?
    2. A blank line between lines of comments gets deleted.
    3. The edit function is gone.
    4. The smiley menu is gone (although I have seen some smileys, so perhaps if one knows the code…).
    5. The sandbox has disappeared (although the instructions for it remain, but I hesitate to experiment here to see if the HTML still works).
    .
    I hope these all get fixed.

    I remember you but I don’t know if you remember me, to let you know M is still redesigning the site so things may seem a little off right now but they will come together soon. M is really “under the weather” right now and a lot us are hoping she has a safe and quick recovery. Yep right now there is no edit function on the comments so if you make mistakes you just have to live with it “warts and all” But it will all work out! so don’t worry things are just under construction right now.

    Have a good one CampKohler :smile:

    Okay, I NEED HELP!!! For about two weeks now, I have been unable to view our Teacher’s videos on this site (I can see them at YouTube just fine, but I don’t want to have to go there). Instead of the video, all that comes up is a tiny multicolored box in the upper left. My O.S. is Windows XP, with Internet Explorer 8.

    You should have Firefox and Opera on your computer, as well as Explorer, and this is one of the reasons. If something that should load doesn’t, one of the first things to do is to determine if it’s the browser or not. You’re used to Explorer, and that’s normal, but it’s handy to have these other browsers for specific functions. For, example, I never use Explorer, except when I view TV Guide. I set Explorer’s homepage to TV Guide and set a hot key for Explorer. With just a quick hotkey, I have the TV listings pronto. You could set up Firefox for that. And for Opera, I use it for one of my common emails, also with it’s own hotkey. To set hotkeys is simple. R=click on the Icon of any program, in this case, a browser, and select properties. In the shortcut box, choose whatever keys you want for your hotkeys (ctrl-alt-L for example) to bring up that program. So, with all three browsers…or just two of the above, you can quickly determine if it’s your browser messing up, or something other variable.

    I found out AFTER downloading Firefox that I had not updated Adobe Flashplayer. Now I’m not sure if I really want to keep Firefox, or if I can even get my money back.

    Hello stigmatasaurus,
    I think, that the fact that IE8 didn’t let you know that the video player needed updating, alone is a reason to stay with FireFox.

    Right now, I think the number of users using IE8 is around 10% as it is a new browser. Everyone that I have talked to that uses IE8 has had some kind of issue with it and when they switch to FF things work much better.

    Um, I’ve never been good at these GTW games. And this one doesn’t even make any sense to me. I just don’t understand what we’re supposed to do with all the words that just got thrown out. Figure out what they have in common? Piece them together into one big clue?

    Okay, well, there seems to be a reference to Sparta, what with Greece and the 300. I’m going to guess that the word is ‘sparse’. I’ll be wrong, but at least I keep trying. Perhaps next time the is a GTW game, the rules of the game could be explained a little more in detail.

    Peace, Errin : )
