Rude Tube’s Heroes and Villains!

:mrgreen:

This is just so awesome. I hope you keep putting them on here when you are on Rude Tube. :smile:

They chose right.

Can’t think of anyone with a better success story than YOU on YouTube.

#1 Hero!!!!

Very good!!
Do you have a link to the whole show?

You were making this video around August 23: hotforwords: @pedantickarl do you know what video I say “Yes!” in? I think james made a remix where I said Yes Yes Yes? Do you know?.

:lol:WiLD-oaTS

:cool: AWESOME Marina :!: :grin:

;-) El numero uno which like translates to number one & #1

“…a Russian with a thesaurus.” Thesaurus. Sounds like a dinosaur, Thesaurus Rex. King of the Thesauris. Just what is the best thesaurus on the net? Do I have the best thesaurus bookmarked, and what other thesauri should I bookmark?
BTW- I had to look up how to spell dinosaur…I got 3 letters wrong on my first spelling.

Very freakin’ incredible, Marina! You ARE numero uno. Love it, and love you.

Always.

:grin:

Nice. Add it to the list…

Now, if only we could get all the Hollywood starlets and poptarts to put some substance behind their celebrity as you have. Did I tell you about my celebrity teacher/gameshow idea?

Hmmm…

No worries. Plenty of time.

Technology required to broadcast oneself on the internet? $1,000

Moving all the way to Hollywood and then getting famous without the need for being in Hollywood? Priceless.

Odds of being blessed with the combination of aesthetic beauty and intelligence you have? No comment.

Being able to do what you do from almost anywhere on planet Earth with high-speed internet access? Success.

I love that you’re using your beauty to make smart cool.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

The world needs more of that.

No, seriously.

DamnNearGeni.us

Of course you are # 1! All of your true followers know that. :shock:

she is philology’s heroin.

Of course you are #1, :smile:

Right On! from a rough diamond to #1, you’ve come a long way in a short period of
time ;-)
Also HFW probably has the best if not ‘The Best’ online [community] out there.
Thank You Marina :smile:

Eggcellent!!!!

Hello.

A Man after my own heart.

Couldn’t agree more!

Welcome! :grin:

A clear disdain for clothes. :lol: That was so funny.
Congratulations Marina on being Number 1

HA! :lol:

Another really good one from you Sir!

Heroin and Heroine fit equally I think! :grin:

Hero or Villain :mrgreen:

Who is gonna drive the getaway car, any volunteers?

Congratulations my dear teacher. You deserve it. I’m still stunned that of the whole concept where you started on Youtube to where it’s at now. Russian philologist is going to be the number one Guru on YouTube? It will never happen. Now it’s a reality. Amazing accomplishment Marina. Good job!

Well, I knew a long time ago that you would become famous. Remember that I said that someday you will be a well known star? I said it on a post over a year ago. Now it’s come true. It doesn’t stop here either. There is more to come. Much more.. ;-)

I take umbrage with them saying you have “a clear disdain for clothes”… geeze, you’ve got a style, a panche that doesn’t find it’s equal on You/Tube.
Took two years for the daft to notice you Marina, I knew you were going to be big the first time I saw you in that funny little “Women’s Dictionary” vid. I’m still thrilled every time I see a mention of you or hear your voice while someone plays one of your vids.
I hope you really enjoy your successes, you remain healthy & as happy as you look.

Personally, I find clothes rather binding – except as required in public.

If you had to choose a Ranking for our Host – what would it be PK? ;-)

Damn Me and my rhetorical questions! :lol:

I would have been a little bit more verbose.
…and, Marina Orlova is number one in the Universe!!!
All you guys from Mars can relate to that, I’m sure. :mrgreen:

She already did those lessons. :mrgreen:
Pretty soon, we won’t be able to even peep a murmur without someone saying, all of those words have already been done.

Old joke since the book came out…

Congratiolations Marina, every day you are a little bit better known by the general public and some days even more then a little. ;-)

You have a good concept, I which you well.

Yes Hs4Mm,
I tweet replied:

OK – Umgh — when I see ‘Intelligence is Sexy’ in small print in the corner – YOU ARE SELLING YOUR BRAND FOR Short Term $!!!

STOP IT!

I have come to love you for your Art.

Stop it RIGHT NOW!

Just one man’s opinion.

Talk about art, that Rude Tube presenter was well written, clever and smart. Seems like everything out of the UK has a higher-level of thought, even questioning at the end if MO is hero or villan

You are handing away the most valuable thing you have created for some short-term bucks – DON’T DO IT!

I know it is enticing…Geeze I hope you don’t go that way….Me….

in reaction to yourshut the fuck up video could you add some water in the fish-tank, looks like you are depriving it of moving-space.

Hey Marina, I like the tweaks you’ve made up above.
Your logo header at the very top with the Ad and
subscribe box sandwiched in between the header
and navigation menus. Looks good.
Alternatively, the Ad and subscriber box could be
moved below the navigation menus as it had been
previously for a long time. Either way is good.

why does it keep anding up with the dog ?

Good Night from Vrock

Ohai. :].

I was wondering, could I please request the word [distress] ? :D.

Love your videos! x

Umm … Mars bars? :grin:

Way to go Marina! What a success story. You rock.

… uranus?

:lol: Marina, I had to laugh at your continued omission of articles …

“I’m very happy that I have big …”

If you had said, “I’m very happy that I have A big audience …”, my mind wouldn’t have jumped into the gutter in that instant.
Congratulations on your continued-unsurprising accolade.
(Interesting word? [accolade] – can you drink it?)

With Russian is not articles. Who needs worthless little words? :evil:

Oh wait…I DID find a Russian article. :grin:

For your listening pleasure

Totally irrelevant, except it’s Slavic and it’s cool: ÄŒije je ono devojče :cool: :grin:

Bob, surely you’re not accusing Marina, of all people, of being in-article-ate? :shock:

What is the origin of the expression “God Speed”?
I loike airplains but i don’t know the origin of this very common aviation expression; Thank you!

dvorák

Yeah, tried to play that on piano, but needed a simplified keyboard! :lol:

(Get it? Dvorák? Simplified keyboard? Alternative to the qwerty?) :roll:

I have Dvorák Slavonic Dance #2 on one of my YouTube playlists. Mine supposedly features the famous African-American cellist Yo Ma Ma, but I only saw some Chinese dude. :mrgreen:

(Oops — is that non-PC? :oops: )

Definitely nice articles.

god + spede, third person sing. present subjunctive of speden, to prosper (from Old English “spedan”, from “sped”, success)

“May God prosper you.”

is that non-PC?

Ask Yo’ Mama – she knows best.

Disdain? Hardly. Almost every lesson has a complete different outfit.
That requires shopping time. Luckily, work clothes are a tax write off. Marina doing her best to pull us out of recession by buying clothes.

you’re doing great! you seem very natural when you do these interviews.

Urmm…Was that really me being harsh and off base above? :oops: Sorry, busy week and short on sleep…

What I meant to communicate was that the ‘Intelligence is Sexy’ branding is about the most perfect description of a product as I’ve ever seen. Something you’d pay an Ad Agency a LOT of money to come up with.

It sets you apart and makes you unique to everyone else.

It [turns the tables] on the critics who think you are all about cleavage.

The message is simple and powerful.

It shouldn’t be seen as [fine print] or incidental…and it shouldn’t be diluted in value to products that don’t enhance it.

Whew…now I feel better! :grin:

“MAREENER ORLOVA?” Funny accent, that guy. Must be a foreigner. And did you hear that? She looks up her word origins in a thesauras!

I have been out a week after wrenching my back. (If you ever stumble and fall, never twist to reach for support! Just think parachute jump and roll into it, even if the it is concrete. I have learned this, but good.) Now I am walking around like a teetering, clattering stack of dishes hoping that day-by-day I will return to my old* self.

I notice the smileys are back, but the comment numbers haven’t returned yet.

Keep going Marina!

‘That guy’ is British and pronounced ‘Marina’ how it’s meant to be said thanks very much, Rude Tube is a British YT channel and a show on TV as well, a very funny one.

“…a Russian with a thesaurus.” I guess he didn’t want to clutter it up by mentioning your extensive education. Altogether not bad though and one of the coolest sets ever for a talk show. :cool:

Leave it to those stuffy Brits to jack up the English language. No, Thank YOU! :mrgreen:

:smile: I like that pic on the HotForWords banner where Marina has on a pilot’s cap and she’s snacking on a slice of watermelon.

:lol: Oh yeah! Funny and sexy-that’s Marina!! And she doles out the meaning of words! Rock on Marina!!

I love the rotating banner pics of Marina.
Great pics. Love the one lying down.
Ohhh those eyes and that look. Love it.

Georgie porgie loves them too. :grin:

Comment numbers are there, just faint in the upper right.

Good to see you back, CK. :smile:

Puzzle: Which words in the following sentence have the same origin?:

Vivian vituperated the vicious villain for valuing vice over virtue.

Could you please do the meaning of the word [nostalgia]? :)

I would like to request the phrase [barking up a tree]
I was just texting my friend and he was talking about how he had been “barking up a tree” with the wrong girls. Where did that phrase come from?

I would like to request the phrase [barking up a tree]
I was just texting my friend and he was talking about how he had been “barking up a tree” with the wrong girls. Where did that phrase come from?

Was Obama wrong when he wrote that he learned the earth “rotated around the sun” (vide “The Audacity of Hope”)? I was always taught that the earth [rotated] on its axis as it [revolved] about the sun. The definitions in the online dictionaries I use are unclear about this. Webster says that rotate means to turn ABOUT an axis, revolve, but thefreedictionary says that, plus to turn ON an axis. This indicates to me that Obama was right after all and that Webster seems to be missing one definition. I also vaguely remember ROTATING functions about the x-axis in calculus class back in high school. So, I guess it’s okay to say the earth rotates on its axis as it rotates about the sun! Any thoughts, anyone?

I just got back from London in time to see this! It was really good. I love the new banner too Marina! Well done!

George likes everything.

Hi Marina!

Could you please do the origin for the word [23 skidoo] or sometimes written as [23 skiddoo] which means to get out or to leave quickly!

thanks!!

Sounded fine to me.. :razz:

I checked with NBC News( :lol: ), and there is absolutely no way that Obama could be wrong and to even suggest such a thing is tantamount to treason. Plus he has that shiny new Prize to further his Self-Aggrandizement Tour.

:| Barack is always right. Just ask the little children :|

Its actually “barking up the wrong tree” and comes from coon hunters. When the dogs would tree a coon, they would stand at the bottom and bark. Occasionally, the dogs would go to the wrong tree or the coon would trick them, so they would be barking up the wrong tree. If you’re hitting on ladies that aren’t in your league, you could be barking up the wrong tree! ;-) :mrgreen:

Good morning Vrock67, it was a good laugh :mrgreen:

You guys are going to fill me in to George. I won’t ask. You will tell me. Bet? ;-)

wel, here you go

George knows all and sees all,
He has heard your plea,
And if you have eyes to see,
He might even show, but not as a doll.

Hi parthenophilast,
You bring up an interesting point and I would like to share a tangential point of view that is neither related to the word revolve or to the word rotate.
Did you notice the oblique reference to tangent? :smile:
Bob and Evan would be proud of me.

Anyway, here is my thought.
Being in technology and using symbolic logic, I sometimes tend to compress thoughts into byte sized phrases or sentences. Even though I am not laconic or pithy, even verbose expressions can sometimes contain many laconic ideas within that verbose expression.

Let me explain by using your example above;
“rotated around the sun”

If I were to use precise language to express the idea conveyed by that phrase, it might be written this way;

“The earth rotates on its axis while revolving around the sun.”

Notice the bolded words which can be extracted to create a compressed expression. In other words, in my mind, I know the verbose and concise sentence, but when in a hurry, I might compress my ideas, which are not to be taken literally.

I am not trying to validate or make an excuse for how someone else said that phrase, but speaking for myself, I sometimes speak using euphemisms or other grammatical expression and combine ideas into one thought.

hi marina I wonder if u can explain the origin of the word Supercalifragilisticespianadocious Please thanks a lot and.. no its not a joke its a real word

It has already been done!

he should ask for Déjà Vu instead, shouldn’t he?

I thought a tan gent was a well-mannered fellow who had been sunbathing. :roll:

Revolver :grin:

Does an old-fashioned LP record revolve or rotate? :???:

It’s usually “barking up the wrong tree” (with the girls, or anything else one is pursuing; as in the way a dog barks at a squirrel, sometimes not the tree the squirrel is in.

“old* self”

Feller topside wants to know the meaning of “23 skiddoo”, Camp. :razz:

Today’s quote is interesting:

“Love is friendship set on fire.” – Jeremy Taylor

1) If by “set on fire” he meant “more intense” then he is saying that friendship and love are on a continuum, with love being more intense.

2) One could also take “set on fire” to mean the introduction of a certain type of conflict (similar to the usage: when something is “set on fire”, it is destroyed). But love isn’t ashes — it is much more positive than friendship. So how can the idea of a “destroyed friendship” be used to characterize “intense love”?

I do not think that love and friendship are on a continuum: I think love is a totally different type of relationship than any type of friendship. The way one deals with a person one loves is totally different from the way one deals with anyone else — the relationship one has with the person one loves is totally different from the relationships one has with anyone else.

Given the stakes involved in love, in some instances of love there is a tendency to be much more cautious in the early stages. This caution might manifest itself as a conflict. For example, in ancient Greek stories I think the woman would put her lover thorough challenging tests:

So one might say that in the story of “The three golden apples,” the relationship between Atalanta and Hippomenes was on fire.

One wonders what Atalanta really wanted: the golden apples or Hippomenes? She got both!

Love is friendship set on fire…fires burn down to ash…and ain’t no ash will burn! :cry:

Hippomenes was cunning, sneaky and shady. Antihero or antivillain, depending how you look at him inside his historical context. Ugh, haha.

Hehe, I like the ‘tan gent’ joke. Anyway, I’d say LP records rotate, but I suppose that’s my bias, being a science graduate.

LOL

Yeah, I can see that as a possibility…

I’d like to request [hamburger]. Why is it called that? It doesn’t even have ham…

the world in the video is Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious and I wanna know if the world Supercalifragilisticespianadocious means the same thing even if there is some letters different

Hi dobrider,
I wasn’t able to find a good referenece for
“Supercalifragilistic-espiana-docious”, not even in the urban dictionary, then I might presume that it is a misspelling, is an affected word, or it has a meaning to whoever started the word such as a person’s last name, “Espiana”

For example, take the word: explain
Many people, due to mispronunciation or not knowing
the spelling say, “esplain”

 
 
Evan will be here any minute now:
de plane, de plane, please ex plane de plane. :lol:

yea its maybe a mispelling because its Gucci Mane who say that in a song lol

HFW Trivia:

Background: In early March 09, Marina tweeted asking about a technique for “breast-expansion” in FC; she linked to a video in which someone had done “breast-exanpsion” on her in one of her videos; shortly thereafter she tweeted that she solved the problem (“It think I’ve got it :-) ” {with double meaning on “got what?”}) and showed a twitpic.

Question: which lesson did she use that technique in (the lesson has the twitpic mentioned above)?

I can give a hint if needed.

Marina, the text overlaps the image on the “subscribe to hotforowords” bit.

[Barking up the wrog tree] BECAUSE I wonder if it has anything to do with bark?

You’re taking lessons from Bob, I see. :razz:

You could be right, but only if it’s a dogwood tree. Siriusly. :mrgreen:

It’s a good thing Marina left Moscow!
The Aliens are coming.

As long as James isn’t dogging up against the wrong bark. :shock:

PK, re your “tangent” remark, were you trying to get me to cosine your comment? That would be the sine qua non of a good pun, yes? :razz:

[MacGuffin] You could recreate the original scene that inspired Alfred Hitchcock to make-up this word.

I might comment on today’s quote someday, so I’ll record it here:

“God gave men both a penis and a brain, but unfortunately not enough blood supply to run both at the same time.” – Robin Williams, commenting on the Clinton/Lewinsky affair

For what browsers? Can you fix it in css?

Might be an illusion caused by the horizontal ad having a white border and the “subscribe” box having a black border in addition to a partial white border; more precisely, the black border of “subscribe box” is below a white border on the top, to the right of a white separator on the left, but there is no white vertical to the right of the black vertical border; and no horizontal white to the bottom of the black horizontal border.

It takes a while to register the precise nature of the black and white borders; and one might confuse the condition to an overlap.

I fixed it.. I had done some stupid stuff and fixed it! Thanks for noticing it.. I am on a mac and forget to check it on a PC sometimes!

Hello, I would like to request the meaning of the word [prick]. Johnny don’t be such a [prick].

Nothing changed on my PC: http://i38.tinypic.com/292v03n.jpg I noticed the mis-matched borders yesterday, and they are still that way; a simple way to describe the mis-match is: the subscribe box is too tall — it needs to have a white border below its black border.

Still not fixed, Marina.
The “SEND” button in the “Subscribe” box drops down to the line below the email entry field; this pushes the link to your Privacy Policy almost out of sight behind the menu bar. http://twitpic.com/l9vyl

Thanks again pal

Ooo! I did the same and set it to “None” and the font was so small, it looked like a thin straight line. But it cured the problem. OK, 10 seems to work for me – live and learn. :smile:

Short answer: By the qualification “God gave men …” the quote ascribes to all men (and women; the quote uses men in a generic sense) a characteristic that is true of a few (Clinton and Lewinsky). I disassociate myself from such ascription by stating that I am only able to maintain an interest and an erection when my mind is fully active. Some time this week, I’ll start a forum topic (not on the exact same topic as that of the quote but) on a related topic.

That would have been obvious if I’d ever heard of them.
I wonder if the Micmacs were on friendly terms with their southern neighbours. If not their tribal motto might have been
“Honi Soit Qui Maliseet” :roll:

Here costume, i thought she was gonna go as an ac repairman.

Agree, they should be separated.

There used to be an advertising campaign in UK to try to get people to drink more milk. The [slogan] was
“Milk’s [got a lot of bottle]“,

Economics student, grumbling about his reading assignment: “Honi soit qui Malthus pense.”

I wanted to give it 6 or more stars on YouTube; what a pity it would only let me give 5! We know you are NUMBER ONE, Marina and that you did a great JOB in your latest lesson. With lots of love from your devoted student Heaven here I come.
