Word of the day by ...
i like being laconic sometimes… it’s like… if u don’t know what to say, stfu
Dear Marina,
The opposite of laconic is VERBOSE. Verbose = Expressed in or using too many words. 17th Century Latin.
Keep up the “grate” work. ;-)
Your “fan”,
Shawn
Verbose is the opposite
Good GTW. The 300 bit cued me to Sparta, but I couldn’t quite come up with laconic. I like your show. It helps me recharge my memory for words.
I think your typist (or was it voice recognition software?) for Philip of Macedon needs to check his spelling, though. He should have used “raze” meaning to destroy to the ground, not “raise” which means to help to rise to a standing position, grow or cultivate, etc., etc.
Such an excellent Vid!
I’d call it Classic Marina – the real thing!
Simple Formula:
1. Educational – very much so in the content
2. Interesting – Yes – not something everyone knows about – but have heard of.
3. Clever – So Cool with Sister, the play on ‘Who wants to be a Millionaire’ suspense, illustrating the word meaning in the script.
4. Connection to Reality/People/Fans – can’t be laconic here…what I mean is that your very best vids seem to come from suggestions from sincere and inquisitive souls – not when trying to play to something trendy or ‘pop’ in the main. I remember who gave you this request or named it as his favorite word – a REAL Artist. This is not a Trendy word.
I’ll name another factor but it is a given – it’s that the lesson is originating from the usual attractive nature of Marina.
A friend I made on this site pointed out that you could pull 80,000 views wearing a potato sack and mumbling – and he is right.
Do the 4 things above and you’ll pull views above the 80K number for years and years – I just know it.
Geeze – you gotta be my favorite Teacher in the whole world! Who said that? ;-)
Don’t know who said that,
but, I said,
HotForWords is my favorite teacher in the whole wide Universe!
Remember;
“Men rule the world,
but,
Women run the Universe!”
So true Karl! :lol:
I’m still trying to remember who told me that thing about the potato sack too – Maybe a NeuroSonic would help?
Oh, the potato sack story.
I think it may have been Evan or someone else said it many months ago. I’ve retold that line, so recently, that would have come from yours truly. Others have also said that they would watch HotForWords if she just read from the Yellow Pages. I think I may have even commented on that and said that I want to see a one minute reading of the yellow pages to see how many views come up.
By the way, look at the H4W 2nd channel What video do you think is leading with the most views by a factor fo 2:1 over an earlier video? Can you guess?
The magibon one 13 days ago. 4K views
Can you even believe that? No dialog.
Way to go Hot4Words :-)
Lipstick Sells! :grin:
Maybe?…GOD BLESS and happy GREEN stimulations…Ba – Buck and change….S.E.A.L the DEAL :cool: happy thermal undies :lol:
oh, is that why the universe is so clean?
men rule the world, but women rule the universe..
semantics.. ; )

Don’t know who said that,
but, I said,
HotForWords is my favorite teacher in the whole wide Universe!

GREAT, THANKS! COULD I REQUEST THE WORD (NIPPLE)
HOT AS ALWAYS!
THANKS YOU

Hello, Marina! I’d like to request the phrase [so long]. How did it come to mean goodbye when it appears to be more appropriate for a vague description of length rather than a farewell wishing? Perhaps it’s short for a sentence that’s been lost in time? Thank you!
I say: good day.

i would like to request the word [Omnipotence]
i would like to know where the phrases or words [tanking] [dps] and [healing] come form like the gamer terms.
A Swedish web newspaper / magazine SvD (founded in 1884) published an interesting article looking at the different YouTube phenomena from different angles.
The article includes a look at HotForWords. Here is an edited sample of the article about Marina.
Youtube unlike anything we’ve been through (Google translated)
Original article in Swedish
OK, everyone, and let’s synchronize our HotForWords calendar.
It’s Oct 4, Full Moon.
Everyone make sure you stay up all night and of course
the Europeans will be up anyway and keep Marina company.
So, that’s what’s going on below.
Full moon effects. :smile:

what is the meaning of the word [ spirit level ]. is there spirit there?
UUUUUHHHHHGGGGGGG! It amazes me how some people can be so freaking cruel to good people. I wonder why I even bother. :|
What do you mean?
PK, I am gonna try ;-)
If I nudge you, would you do something for me?
What’s up Rijk?
Go ahead and nudge away. :smile:
She doesn’t react PK, sorry, but i can only come to the conclusion she doesn’t read everything, there is another conclusion, but that’s so negative, i don’t want to go there.
Sorry
Hey Rijk, regarding your statement above:
“… conclusion she doesn’t read everything, ”
Let me ask you a question; do you have a YouTube channel where you have videos with thousands of comments? How about Twitter? Are you on it? Do you answer 100′s question posed of you?
Put yourself in the shoes of the other person. How would you handle it? Don’t answer without actually having done it. Saying you would like to do something versus actually doing it is a world of difference.
Also, did you know that not all questions, or suggestions or ideas need to be acknowledged in the way that you might envision. Trust me on this. The word “react” as you used it can come at another time and space. Don’t force your precepts, ideas and notions upon another person’s timeline.
I’ve been here as a subscriber since Jun last year, but was an observer all along before that and have a 100% attendance record. Continue what you are doing. You are doing great and don’t be so hard on your self. Just stay with it and learn. Trust me, there is plenty of opportunity for you to interact and learn.
Trust me, the fun is in the journey and not the destination. :grin:
I can be short, on all no. I limit myself in the things i do. ;-)
Jack of all trades, master of …
Interaction is what makes me come back, whiteout it i would just watch the video and nothing more.
I haven’t set a target, so endless journey, or running around in circles?
What is your destination?
there’s a lot of hypocrisy that goes on. plz define good people.

Read the forums Buzz.
10-4 roger captain.
I can understand that. Yes, it is amazing how bad people can be so freaking cruel to good people. You probably bother because, deep inside yourself, you are able to feel compassion towards the weak.
Something even more amazing is to see good people being cruel to bad people. However, the difference between good and bad regarded from a single individual point of view is mostly a mere perception, and often a totally mediocre internalized projection of the harsh reality. Ugh.
Be cause you wish to remain hopeful perhaps?

HI Marina I have a word request
the word is [Angel - ангел] and how come it is so similar in Russian
thanks.
Yeah, and how come “лаконичный” is so similar to “laconic”? :razz:
I have a word request Marina.
It is the word [Sapid].
I really want to know about this word, and I took your advice to make a request for it here.
I even made a video request too on YouTube.
Your book is way cool also!

Dear Marina,
Here is a word request: [Boa].
It’s a type of snake, and also a long, fluffy scarf made of feathers. fur or fabric. It has an origin in Middle English as a name for a water adder, another type of snake, today.
Of course, I would be happy if you would make the video wearing only a long boa, draped to cover vital areas, so that it would be OK for you to shift your legs during the video. I’m sure I’d watch this video many times. You want your viewers to be happy, don’t you? :razz:

Well, I guessed ‘sparse’ and wasn’t anywhere close. But I never do get it right when it comes to these GTW games.
And yet, I still feel like a winner, because I learned the very interesting origin of the word ‘laconic’. Thanks, teach!
Peace and love, Errin : )
[BUMMED] or [BUMMED OUT] Why”bum” ? Oh, also means butt; ass, derriere, etc.?
[KEEN] That was keen; she’s keen on that idea; keening of the wind.
Thanks.
Could be verbose, but maybe “bloviational.”

Re: etymological connection
May it please your Ladyship:
[aperture]
[lochaber]
What is the etymological connection? :grin:
Are you peeping through Marina’s keyhole?
Hello Marina,another good lesson,guess the word game.I love the pink , and yellow tops that makes you look super sexy! :grin:
Even more homework:
φλÏαÏοσ (fluaros) is Greek for “garrulous.” Any connection with “fluent”? :???:
More homework:
“Laconic” antonym: болтливый :grin:
Whatever is not laconic is complicated, complex and very difficult to understand, or perhaps just plain stupid. Who knows?
:lol: southern pride :cool: Turovsky is the author of a collection of aphorisms- “Itch of Wisdom” (Cicuta Press, 1986)
..all have a good (k)NIGHT :smile:
Hey Marina.Can you please tell me the meaning of the word[logorrhea]?
Thanks in advance ;)
Woo. COOL nerd-word! :grin:
The opposite of laconic would be garrulous or loquacious. I have a request that may be improper as it is a word part, but I am curious about the word part [cline] as in [isocline].
***HOMEWORK***
Opposite of laconic is Welsh! :lol:
Seriously, both David Lloyd George and Hubert Humphrey were known for being [garrulous].
Privet marina, opposite of laconian , long talker . close freind to the close talker . dos fidonia
I would like to request the phrase [tie one on] as in getting drunk. My friend posted it on my facebook tonight and I had NO idea what she was talking about, which led to 3 or 4 of us trying to figure out where it originated. Thanks!
The phrase comes from Tai-wan-on, a drinking game that originated on the former Portuguese island colony of Formosa off the coast of China. The Portuguese adopted the phrase from the natives, and later brought it to America, where it spread from their immigrant settlements in Massachusetts and San Diego.
Taiwan itself originates in the Siraya language of the indigenous Taiwanese, an Austronesian language distantly related to Hawaiian.
It’s true, I tell you. :mrgreen:

I don’t know why, but I feel the laconic sister in a yellow dress would look astoundingly pretty with a fireman helmet on her head. :smile:
can you do the word
[rock n roll]
thanks (:
Verbose? Some days, Marina, I wish I could reach out and hug you and kiss your pretty face. You know like on those social networking sites.
The opposite of laconic is [garrilous.]

Etymologically linked?
[apel] (hello Rijk!) :smile:
And what’s with the Romans? Did they think apples were evil, such that they called them “malus”? :mrgreen:
[ab ovo usque ad mala] — lit. “from the egg to the apple”
BTW Glen, what was “Овод” about? :smile:
Hi Marina! I would like to request the word/symbol [@] . I know it’s a computer symbol but my question is “Why do we use it?” and why does it take longer to write that symbol than to spell it out??
Dear Marina,
The opposiye would be “melifluous,”
I hope your booksigning went well last night. I hope you are OK from the evenr. :smile:
Also, when are you going to give tha answer to the question you asked about “sen’night”? :?:
BTW, laconic is pronounced “luh-kon-ik.” The middle syllable is pronounced like the first one in “constitution.” It is not pronounced like the word, “cone.” I hope you don’t mind when I try to improve your pronunciation of words. (Spokane, deus, etc.) I think it will help you make better videos. Please don’t kill the messenger! :shock:

Hey Bob, pursuant to your comment below, does “mala-fluous” refer to apple juice? :mrgreen:
Mal-a-fluoroid is a illness that is twenty-four times worse than a seasonal flu.
Bob, I’m not sure we’re a good influence on the etymological discussions! :lol:
You’re not suggesting our contributions are effluvia, are you?

Hey there, HotForWords!
I´m curious about, where the word [Gerbil] is coming from. ;-)
Aw, heck, another one I failed. For this HW I’ll try loquacious.
Did I get that one right? It’s been so long ago I forget. Just a hair over two weeks ago I take it.
Yes, Captain Jack, you said “laconic,” the correct answer. :smile:
Thanks! ;-) I was a bit to lazy to check up on that. That was a super easy GTW game. I bet it only took many of you guys only minutes to figure that one out. I should give her a hand at the next game. I’m the clue master. :mrgreen:
If you have three clews does that mean you’re three sheets to the wind?
Technically no. You still can be three sheets to the wind whether your clewed up or down. Though clewed up is worse than down. What’s worse is the sailors that don’t have a clew.
Oh…gotta regroup…uhh. Just got home, feeling kind of hungry, thinking I’ll whip up something to eat after I feed my dogs. Sooooo, I go out in the backyard, and as I get near the doghouse, I come upon a very dead, very HEADLESS skunk. Yeppir, that’s right. And my dogs are doing their usual happy to see me jumping all over me routine, and I’m like, dammit don’t you get near me with your slobbery tongues you bastards…
I’m not hungry anymore.
Mmmm, skunk brains (voice of Homer Simpson).
Mmm-mmm-Good!
(Evidently)
YUK!
I would have to say the word you are looking for that is the opposite of Laconic, a word I’m sure everyone knows and who wouldn’t know it? I mean it would have to be a word that means you talk a lot and ever get to the point. Oh I’m sorry I’m rambling on so let me get to the word you are looking for … OK it is Loquacious
Hi
Ivan Ivanov, a wealthy Russian oligarch, dies and appears at the gates to paradise. He´s met there by St. Peter who declares…” Well, well… Hello Mr. Ivanov…” while scanning his laptop computer screen. ” So, I see you had a villa in Costa del Sol, another in the south of France?” Yes replied Ivanov.. “Apartments in London, New York and Paris?” continued Peter. ” Yes, true” said Ivanov. “a Rolls Royce, a Bentley, two Ferraris?” asked the saint.
“Yes, I had all of this more, and paid taxes regularly. Are there any problems, sir? May I come in?” “No. No problem, Mr. Ivanov. Sure, you may come in. But… I’m afraid you won’t like it here…

“Except in a few well-publicized instances (enough to lend credence to the iconography painted on the walls of the media), the rigorous practice of rugged individualism usually leads to poverty, ostracism and disgrace. The rugged individualist is too often mistaken for the misfit, the maverick, the spoilsport, the sore thumb.”

In Philip of Macedon’s quote, shouldn’t it be “raze” instead of “raise”?
Great shows!
Good catch! I don’t know how these typos are slipping through!!! Arggh!
Is your Apple (malus L) evil (malum L), exhibiting Malapropism?
typo, eh ;-)
Setting the table for the sexual words category?
Because you don’t have a proof reader. I can fix that… ;-)
Raze and raise…homonyms and antonyms both! :grin:
Re proofreading: back when I was trying to write posts in Russian, I felt the same way — ten minutes later I’d come back and spot the very basic mistakes I made and failed to notice. :sad:
I’d give you an answer to my homework, but I’m afraid it would burn out my keyboard.
I suppose the opposite of laconic is verbose.
