Happy Hour Appearance
Here is my second appearance on Fox Business’s Happy Hour Show. I approached some of these words a little differently this time :-)
Please rate, comment and favorite over at YouTube. Thanks! :-)

Word of the day by ...
:mrgreen: Just a friendly hello from deep in Texas where people like me say howdy. “HOWDY!’
[woebegone] [woebegone: Interestingly, "woe-be-gone!" is what someone would exclaim when he is woebegone!]
I would like to request a word, [ sallyport ]
as in , you enter the jail through the sallyport.
thank’s Ken.
Uh, errr, ummm, don’t look now,
but Friday the 13th is upon us in
a little more than a day.
Hello, Dear Teacher: With Thanksgiving just around the corner, I would like to know why we have a bird called a [turkey] and a country called [Turkey]. Did someone name the bird after the country? Why?
Did you know that Ben Franklin wanted to make the turkey our national bird? :shock: Glad the founders didn’t go for it.
Thank you, Dear Teacher!
Your devoted student,
goroku ;-)
Russia and India get into the act too! http://www.hotforwords.com/2009/09/04/photo-shoot-for-my-book/comment-page-1/#comment-150693

Ooh.
I would like to request the phrase
My Stars and Garters
It is used to express amazement.
Dear Marina,
did you get the idea to produce more videos about remarkable expressions again?
Nerd Word:
[lexadaisical]
“Being lackadaisical with your lexicon. Will Ferrell played a particularly lexadaisical President Bush when he used the word “strategery”. — Urban Dictionary
Мы теперь вÑе либералы, а кто не либерал, того в тюрьму! :smile:
Извините, “того в тюрьму” не понимаю. Что Ñто?
“в тюрьму” = to prison
Maybe I committed a mistake, I learned some Russian, but many years ago. That was an old joke from a period of political thaw in Soviet Russia (I don’t remember which one, but not the ultimate one).
“All of us are liberals now, and who’s not a liberal – let him go to prison!”
Wow, Did you see today’s quote.
Marina knows the answer which is the
tag line, Intelligence Is Sexy as well
as attitude. Marina has the right
sexy and intelligent attitude. Love it!!!
“Be sure to wear a good cologne, a nice aftershave lotion, and a strong underarm deodorant. And it might be a good idea to wear some clothes, too.” – George Burns :lol: ….Giorgio Moroder – Underdog… :cool:
For those who care – and some who don’t, but will – mijj’s latest production. It is definitely art. Take the time to let it load in HD and use auxiliary speakers if you can. It is well worth it. :cool:
Natalie Portman’s favorite word is “languor” she said, “languor. A sexy word for sort of of an un-sexy state” where do you want to be in languor? in my case, in Monaco. Has anyone gone there?
Marina went to Cannes, about 40 km from there. :smile:
I would like to request the word [funk]
I would like to know how it was originated and what it REALLY means.
db LoveCraft
I want to make a random comment that fits nothing – so I will.
Taryn Southern is a Hot Chick who is working with The Station and others.
Marina is THE Hot Chick in charge of her own Brand.
Who Rules?
Up to the Rulers I guess…I’ll vote after – but the answer is already F’n simple for me for many reasons.
I would like to request the word [nerfed].
Hi marina, It’s a word I think, the word is [och].
Thank You
Rudy
Och aye, laddie, ye’ve asked the recht lassie, Lady Marina Orlova of Lochaber, d’ye ken? :razz:
Hi Marina,
It’s not actually a word, but why words have “P”s in front of them that you don’t pronounce?
Thanks, Love your Videos,
Mike
Ask pedanticKarl. He might give you his two-pfennig worth! :razz:
Time to review HotForWords video on
penny and dime. I’ll get back to mrmyk in
a few hours. On the freeway in a little bit.
Marina, could you look into an issue that CampKohler reported?
He reported on two similar issues, posted over in the Forum.
Issue 1: I was able to verify this as CK stated.
1. One is logged out of this site.
2. Find a person to reply to, on any page.
3. Click the Reply button which brings up the login page.
4. After one is logged in, one is at the top of the page instead of at the original location of the Reply.
Note to self: To me this might be an indication that the cookies of the visitor (not logged in yet) are not integrated with the user’s cookies. It seems that the visitor’s cookies are lost?
Issue 2: I do not have the issue that CK reports
1. One is logged in
2. Find a person to reply to, or create a comment.
3. Then, after the comment is submitted, edit the comment.
4. After the edit is complete, CK is returned to the top of the page.
I do not have this issue. See my test below.
Thanks :smile:
P.S.
I am using FireFox 3.5.5
I don’t know what browser CK is using.
I don’t know if it ever went back to the comment after logging in. A cursory glance shows that it might not be an easy fix.. but I will make it happen eventually!
Thank you Marina.
In my first reply to CK I mentioned
that I didn’t recall that a logged in
user would inherit a visitor’s attributes.
I also think it is more complex to effect.
Point: If one who clicks
Replyat a particular comment can’t be returned to the comment after signing on, then why have the reply after each comment?CK, wow, that is exactly what I was thinking, but I forgot to elaborate on that the other day.
Specifically, if you remember, the current “REPLY Button” (CSS text based) used to be a standard “REPLY text link”, and if I remember correctly, that Reply Link did not show up until one was logged in. So, one solution is to make the Reply Button invisible when one is logged out.
That was a nice appearance. I see hippie-boy weaseled a double cheeker in! :lol:
Ever since I heard this Russian’s name (he’s now at Brown, but I have attended a few seminars he gave at Harvard), I have wondered about his last name [Goncharov] — both its roots and its meaning.
Also, those gatherings had a few Russians, and they all called each other [Sasha]. How come every Russian chap there was a Sasha???? Some one guessed “Sasha” was a form of Alexander and that they all had the same first name; someone else guessed “Sasha” meant “brother” — but no one really knew, and the Russians didn’t know English well enough to understand the question or to explain the issue.
PS: Some of you might want to do an images.google.com search (with safe search turned off) for Goncharov.
can we understand bad English but we are connected peq iza fact that we have a lot prvil in the language :mrgreen: Sasha is very spread the word and name as well as jack in the U.S.
Alexander Goncharov too was called “Sasha” by those guys — so is “Sasha” short for “Alexander”?
Yes.

What does your user-name, Sahok, mean? Does mean anything close to “without sorrow or worry”?

=====================================
ATTENTION ALL HotForWords fans!
=====================================
Sometime between now and next month, I believe it is in the middle of Dec. or maybe earlier, Wired.com will most likely have their “Sexy Geek for 2009″ nomination go into effect. That is when you nominate the person to be the sexiest geek. Then, later in Dec, there is the final voting.
For those of you who read Wired magazine, post the information when you see it. I will be monitoring Wired as well.
In the meantime, did you know that you can still vote for “Sexy Geek of 2008″? Click on my gravatar icon on the left and it will take you to the voting site. Notice that Marina has 35061 votes. I just registered that last vote a few minutes ago, and it stuck. There had been a problem for a long time where my votes and others votes had not been registered.
Also, it is imperative that you click on the Down Vote of the person ahead of Marina. Look at Marina’s down votes. They have no qualms about down voting her, so you must respond in kind.
Thank you all. :smile:
Isn’t there something about not nominating the same person multiple times because wired treats them as separate nominees and does not consolidate the votes into a single nominee?
No, not true.
Wired DID consolidate “Marina Orlova” different nominations and other names.
The problem is when one uses different names.
For example; should one nominate HotForWords or Marina Orlova?
Those two names might possibly not be consolidated, and in most cases they were not consolidated. Multiple nominations for “Marina Orlova” will be consolidated, and they were.
Also, some people nominated Marina and just entered “Marina” or some other name, and those names were not consolidated.
It is imperative that we nominate one name. My recommendation is to nominate “Marina Orlova” as the voting is for a real person and not the personality. If everyone abides by that, then multiple submissions of “Marina Orlova” will be consolidated.
Hs4Mm,
Here is a case in point regarding names.
Marina is beating herself in the 2007 Sexy Geek contest?
http://reddit.wired.com/sexygeeks2007/?s=top
Notice that the leader for 2007
with 28127 votes is “Marina of HotForWords.com”
The 2nd place winner
with 6679 votes is “Marina (HotForWords)”
So, you can see that by not staying with the same name, robbed Marina of 6679 votes.
Additional information regarding the upcoming Sexy Geek Contest.
1. I recommend that the nomination be for: Marina Orlova
Do not add any other text or information or the potential for wasted votes will occur.
2. For the photo, I recommend using the same photo as for the 2007 Sexy Geek contest.
If another photo is used, it should come from this site and not Wired.com. The reason Marina’s photo is not showing in the 2008 contest is because the Anonymous person chose a photo from the Wired.com server. When Wired cleaned up their server many months ago, that photo was deleted.
If Marina has a photo in mind that she wishes us to use, please let us know.
Here’s some pics of Marina that I like (there’s actually so many):

I like the number one also. If that don’t bring out the vote nothing will. ;-) :smile:
How about this one?
You like?
I like, if they get posted I will vote. ;-) :smile:
Hey, what happened to the comment numbering system? I don’t see the numbers today.
Hey CK,
Your comment number is 54. I see it at the far right in faint gray.
I just replied to your PM also. Been waiting for the extended pagination which just happened in the last few days. I will keep you informed on the results.
Hello CK,
I posted your issue above at comment #58 located here.
I have to disagree about liberals wanting to change the laws per se. They want to make them mean what they wish them to by changing their interpretation vs. keeping things as they are until they actually get changed. Conservatives on the other hand want laws to be strictly interpreted and any changes in meaning not be made unless the laws are actually changed first. (Whether the laws should be changed and what they should say in the first place is another matter these two sides will argue over, but that is a horse of a different collar.)
Hi CK,
Marina answered another person on YouTube with a similar question. You can see the total comments here, and then do a page find for “RogerOnTheRight”
Here is Marina’s answer:
Oh, another one: How about the difference between “literal” and “figurative.” It seems the meanings are the opposite of what they represent.
I propose “sciolism” as a new word.
The Title Block for the “Latest Video” Box is clickable, but the Title Block for the other Boxes are not clickable. How about:
1) Clicking on “FORUM” takes one to the hfw/forums.
2) Clicking on “UPCOMING EVENTS” takes one to hfw/calendar
3) Clicking on “RECENT POSTS” takes one to hfw/site-index/
4) Tricky one maybe … maybe not: Clicking on “RECENT COMMENTS” (or on the “There are <xyz> comments on this site!” banner) takes one to a page with a listing of all the comments from the past, say, 36 hours!
At 4:26 Marina touched by chance a hand of that guy on the left. The man obviously got excited, we saw him tapping his fingers on his knees. At 4:49 she touched him accidentaly again. At 4:51 the guy put his hand on her back for a few seconds and then he was bursting with excitement till the end of the vid. That looked like wasn’t done by accident. :grin:
Hey your upper lip lipstick is all over the place girl!!!
Who have you been kissing!!! ROTFL
Your lipstick look like you’ve been necking with someone!
Why didn’t one of the fox techs tell you before airing!!! Jerks!
OR… it’s a cold-sore :( felling for ya Marina!
Marina,
I hope you are going to the gym to improve your core strength for use in a possible competition in <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDF3oCzwc_M"DWTS, as apposed to loosing a couple ounces of body fat. Strong like Russian bear, good; skinny like too many Hollywood woman, bad.
I have amused myself with the thought that your Mama and Papa sent their little girl to warm S. CA because she would not survive the cold Russian winters.

Deja vu in quote of the day? I think I have seen today’s quote before on this site … I remember because I did not agree with it the first time I saw it, and I still do not agree with it.
I was wondering how the word [kiasu] came about. I saw this word on the internet and I was wondering how it originated. It’s supposed to be a fair new English word.
It probably entered English through [manga] or other Oriental cartooning. :smile:
Umm im dumber than a rock I think lol But i think you all do better to ask her when she wants babys SHE KNOWS SHES PRETTY TRY A NEW APROACH…. Ya sent U a message try to read it Polly Pure breed or bread hmmm LOVE YOU SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH POLLY pffffftttttt
Your [exuberance] is uncommon and very [alluring]. I see you as an excellent representative of the divine feminine and your rise in popularity is a clear indicator of the return of the Goddess. I would like to personally thank you andtell you not to let those mean people drag you down. I am sure you will be as lovely at 60 as you are now but your glowing personality tells me that your soul is eternal.
Good morning tuzon, and I welcome you to the HotForWords site. I was drawn to your kind words and particularly in your understanding of Marina’s spirit and essence. I think that is why many of us have been following Marina for many years as her [soul] is timeless and strikes a chord in each one of us. Enjoy exploring the site.
Welcome tuzon,
HFW fan club member Dezdkado helped me through the “Marina-is-goddess” phase about a year ago. Don’t worry, the infatuation will pass in time. What remains afterward is the cameraderie of your fellow word-lovers. :grin:

Hey Marina,
I just want to say that’s a nice function that you’ve added on the recent comments section were you can go back further to check on other peoples comments.
Thanks :smile:
Thanks for noticing Venomrock67,
Yes, that is a great feature, clicking the “older” link and I hope other people will also notice it and take advantage of it to facilitate discussions. Don’t you just love it how Marina just makes this site better and better every day. :smile:
Yeah, she’s definitely made it a lot user friendly. As far as facilitating discussions on my part, I’m still a slow typer and it takes me a little bit to pound out a comment with my thoughts. I just put together these little masterpieces of jargon. :mrgreen:
Hey thanks for the tip below, I sure do appreciate it.
You certainly do a lot for this site Karl
and like Marina you should be admired too. :cool:
THANKS :smile:
Also Venomrock67, you may have noticed that the page has not been broken up into smaller pages, which means that you can scroll very quickly from top to bottom and review comments with one swipe of the mouse. You can also do a page find of key words by using CTRL-F. With FireFox, the incremental page search works great.
1. Test reply
2. Edit: Editing my reply to see where I end up.
3. Edit: I stayed right here and did not jump to the top.
[sacrum, as in the lower bones of the spine -- what is sacred about them? Did the Greeks think the "hieron osteon" played an important role in enabling sexual enjoyment and so considered these bones sacred (or "holy")? If so, is this structure common to other animals or specific to humans? I think Aristotle has said something about the buttocks and the erect nature of humans!]
1) Result of searching for “buttocks” in Aristotle’s book On the parts of Animals: http://bit.ly/1OBhoF So he did consider the buttocks to play an essential role in the erect nature of man. So maybe the Greeks thought the sacrum as sacred/holy since they maybe would have thought that it too played an important role in keeping man erect. Some guy critiquing what was know about the sacrum as of his writing: http://vesalius.northwestern.edu/essays/authority.html
2) I have forgotten the exact details about what you said about [clitoris], but recall you mentioning some guy who wrote about it. Was that reference to this passage SEC. II.– Of the secret Parts in Woman on this page http://www.exclassics.com/arist/arist6.htm written by a FAKE Aristotle http://www.exclassics.com/arist/arist1.htm ?
[humerus], as in the bone of the arm — what is funny about it? Did the Greeks think this “οστεον κωμικός” played an important part in enabling comedy and thus considered this bone humerus? If so, is this laughing about banging one’s elbow unique to humans? Did I mention that “Owen” was originally a Greek name? :razz: :razz: :razz:
Here’s some humerus (oops — “uillean”) piping — at 10 minutes, maybe “Moher” than you want to watch, but don’t be “Furey”-ous with me. :mrgreen:
(I’m taking free-association lessons from leonard. :razz:)
Got the message. Thank you!
On second thoughts, scratch 39.2.1. The analogy does not apply: Humerus is not related to humor, but the sacrum is related to sacred — the Greeks themselves did call it the “holy bone”! So in asking why the Greeks considered the sacrum sacred/holy, there is no free association as in humerus–humor; the Greeks did call it holy!
Oh. So you don’t like my sense of “humer”. :razz:
Americans, by the way, do refer to the humerus as the “funny bone,” especially the sensitive spot where it joins the elbow. :smile:
[nudnik] Didn’t realize that the “-nik” suffix has a Russian origin despite having known of [Sputnik]! Interestingly, the origin of Sputnik has a “su” in it, with the “su” having the meaning of “with, together” (which can be tied to an earlier comment as with-the-rays-of-the-sun!).
Sputnik: “traveling companion,” from O.C.S. supotiniku, from su- “with, together” + poti “way, journey” ( http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=sputnik )
The nik suffix is common in Yiddish as well. :smile:
Hi HotForWords…I like your site daily quote
In June, 1917 he was asked by Sir William Wiseman, an officer of the British Secret Intelligence Service (later named MI6), to undertake a special mission in Russia[15] to keep the Provisional Government in power and Russia in the war by countering German pacifist propaganda….from wiki….William Somerset Maugham (pronounced ‘mawm’), CH (25 January 1874 – 16 December 1965) was an English playwright, novelist and short story writer
Dear Marina,
Nice of you to show your beautiful bare shoulders in this interview. I like to see your shoulders, and you did very wel in the interview. :grin:
“Happy Hour” is a time early in the evening when the bar sells drinks at reduced prices. This way, you can bring a girl to a bar and buy cheap drinks for her, Then, you tell her lots of jokes to make her laugh, and you laugh loudly at her statements (for example, about word origins), then you make sure she gets enough to drink (if she’s a smaller person, less booze is required), and then you make out with her, alot! :razz: I don’t do this any more, since I don’t drink very much, for health reasons.
Seesixcm6
I would drink a couple of drinks with you, too.
New “word” request. Not actually a word, but a phrase: [Tit for tat]
Thanks!
I think it is a type of game for loving couples: one plays with the other’s tit and the other plays with one’s tat. Anyway, here’s a lad who does not yet know about this game (it is such ignorant lads who give rise notions such as “girls mature earlier than boys”): No, you can’t play with mine ‘cos you’ve broken your’s off! (Note: I’ve reworded the caption.)
Word request: Don’t *** unless you mean it.
Common replacements for *** are “tell me you love me”, “kiss me”, and I’m sure that anyone could come up with many more. These kinds of expressions are quite common, but I wonder if they might have had a common ancestor in the not too distant linguistic past.

airplane strike, nice song Leo :)
Some post comments that play on words; here’s a variation of re-wording:
Consider the original lyrics for the enjoyable video Cups (You’re Gonna Miss Me) by Lulu and the Lampshades: http://bit.ly/48fRH9
The lyrics have these lines:
But I think it would be wrong to deduce from “my hair”, “my walk”, “my talk” that the singer must be a girl. I think a girl in love with a man for his deeper characteristics can then/later get/feel sexed-up by his superficial characteristics such as “his hair”, “his walk”, and “his talk”.
But we do know that the author is indeed a girl. So treating this as a song to be sung by a girl, consider the lines:
and re-word them as:
Now, wouldn’t that be better?
Regarding the line:
My interpretation is that the whiskey is in case her man does not join her (to be used as a mistaken tool for drowning her sorrow at unrequited love); if he did join her, neither she nor he would have any use for those bottles of whiskey.
PS: Perhaps “my hair”, “my walk”, and “my talk” are muted/subtle and so are a form of feminine assertion; but, in the rewording, her feminine “wares”/”attributes” are perhaps asserted too explicitly and so would be unfeminine? I don’t really know.
PPS: Here’s a tweet I sent about that video.
Dear Marina, Is it ever polite to [hoc a loogie]? If you couldn’t help it, should you swallow it, spit in in your napkin, or hold it in your mouth and get out of there?
Hi Marina,
How did you feel about that dude getting [cheeky] with you? :oops:
And was it he who smudged her lipstick?
Hi Bob,
@56.2.2.1.1 (ran out of reply levels)
I’ll have to reply with a “Croeso” since I don’t know the Gaelic for “You’re welcome” or “My pleasure.”
Just to let our fellow wordies in on the thread:

Just to let you know, there was a hand-written note in the package from Megan, who packed it, saying that she used to live in Edzel and her mother worked in Aberdeen, so sending it gave her some happy memories.

Oh LORDY!!! I couldn’t bear to watch! :o
Good request, actually. The word “pimple” was still around when I was a kid, but I never hear it anymore. How does one word displace another? :???:
Maybe pimple sounds too much like pimp for people to feel comfortable using it.
{I’m not as thunk as pimple dreep I am.}
Reminds me of the Cockney bartender’s rhyming slang:
“Do you want some fisherman’s with your pimple?” :???: (The full phrases being fisherman’s daughter and pimple and blotch.) :cool:
I’m suspicious of the story, however. Surely no Scotsman would drink watered scotch; do the English ever commit this travesty? :shock: Americans, I’m ashamed to admit, are often guilty of this adulteration. :cry:
It’s not a travesty.
re “Uisce Beatha”
Thanks for setting me straight. It was the “ice” taboo I was recalling. :oops:
[taboo] or [tabu]
[kapu]
Hey Evan :smile:
That is a good question on how one word displaces another. If you do a quick search on the etymology of the word it comes up unknown. Of course I don’t know if you know me but I had to throw in a link to support the suggestion, I just couldn’t resist. :mrgreen:
Maybe I should’ve submitted this comment under the lesson for gross.
I suspect “zit” was just someone’s made-up word that caught on — probably some time since the 1950s.
“Dog” is another made-up word — coined by some Anglo-Saxon. There’s no related word in any other language! :???:

Marina, You looked really comfortable with the Happy Hour Team on that appearance. I’m not too familiar with that show but I think that the guy that was sitting next to you really likes you. ;-)
Cody Willard is that his name. I’ve seen him elsewhere ripping on “The Federal Reserve” and that’s cool in my book. But all in all that was an excellent appearance, Good Job Marina! :smile:
You said you’ve made stock investments in Google and YT, damn! I guess that would make sense from a business viewpoint but I had to post a link on internet censorship on a previous comment, oh well it’s just conspiracy theories. Good luck on your stocks.

Did they call us a cult? :???:
Maybe they meant cultured cult, or Culture Club, oh wait, that’s a musical group. I hope they really didn’t want to hurt me.
I don’t think individual investors should invest in stocks unless they follow the market. (That includes keeping an eye on a bunch of stocks, so that when it comes time to sell a stock, you have somewhere to invest. Also, there is a need for diversification, and maintaining a percentage of your portfolio in cash.) If you don’t put an hour a day studying stocks, then you should get out of stocks and buy mutual funds. But maybe Marina knows something we don’t about Google.
Marina, I applaud you for the DeisreeJ sub. In fact, I meant to tell you about her two weeks ago when I heard about her on the radio. I have my own personal horror stories to tell about myself, and many of my friends. Ten people around me have had the flu in the last month and I have not had the flu in the last six years. So far my recipe has worked and it has worked for other things as well.
By the way, from my experience, it’s not about the flu shot per se, but it seems it is about any shot (injection) or extraction. I have many friends that have become crippled in one way or another due to either one of these malpractices.
No conflict of interest there.
Marina invested in Google, not Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation, which owns Fox and HarperCollins ( Marina’s book publisher ) :cool:

[anime]
Kore wa, nan desu ka? :???:
Popular anime is a limitless source of groanworthy puns.
Buton wa buton ga buttonda. (The pig hit the pig.)
Neko ga, nekonda. (The cat is sleeping.)
Futon ga futtonda. (The bed flew away.)
Can you explain the following Japanese pun? :-
“Once upon a time there was a great Buddhist priest named Ikkyu, whose fame spread far and wide for his enlightened solutions to peoples’ problems. Finally, Ikkyu became so famous that words of his deeds reached the ears of the great Lord, who summoned Ikkyu to his mighty castle.
Upon learning of the summons, Ikkyu proceeded over hill and dale until at last he arrived at the main gates of the castle. In front of the gates was a river, with a bridge across it, and in front of the bridge was a sign which said:
BEWARE: Walking on the bridge is forbidden, by order of the Lord.
Ikkyu paused, thought for a moment, and then promptly walked across the bridge and through the gates. When Ikkyu came before the Lord, the Lord was astonished. “I have forbidden walking on the bridge!” he said, “How did you cross the river?”
“It was no problem,” Ikkyu replied. “I simply walked down the center of the bridge.”
Hi Bob,
Sankyou for the story about the bridge.
Sorry, I’ve only taken twelve hours of Japanese classes. Is there some similarity between the words for “forbidden” and “center”? I’m looking at “kinjiru” and “chuushin” but don’t see a connection. :???:
Apparently the word for bridge, “hashi,” is pronounced the same as the Japanese word for edge, which is also “hashi.” Thus by walking down the center of the bridge, Ikkyu obeyed the Lord’s command to “not walk on the edge.”
At least he didn’t have to wait i’ queue.
Well, I didn’t have the IQ to figure out that one. :neutral:
Speaking of hashi and its several meanings, I always make a hash out of eating with chopsticks. :mrgreen: I got off to a bad start with my high-school classmate Donna Hashisaki when I asked her how you use chopsticks to drink rice wine. :oops:
My daughter, the manga artist, has already started noticing the Japanese puns. One manga character named Ichigo (“Number One something-or-other”) has red hair, apparently a pun on ichigo which also means “strawberry.” :cool:
Hey, have we seen Hitoshi-san lately? I’ll bet he could add to our thread. :smile:
So I was telling your story to my daughter (age 14), and when Ikkyu saw the sign, she interrupted me, saying “So he walked down the center of the bridge. I know, I read it in Shonen Jump.” :roll:
“Mixed?!” That one was manga’ld. :razz:
Check out hitoshi-san’s Japanese puns below! :grin:
There’s manga a true word from the mouths of babes and sucklings.

i m sorry for not having been able to post comments here recently. of course, i checked out this site every day but i was very busy and had low back pain. its still killing me!! and your friend Evan reminded me of the important fact that i am a total representative from Japan who loves Hot For Words today. he told me that you guys are thinking of Japanese puns.
and we have palindromes, too.
takeyabu yaketa (bamboos burnt)
ika no dansu ha sunda no kai? (did a squid’s dance finish?)
who knows and cares about its dance????
hi Bob san. thank you very much for your concern. my back is getting better. maybe I had been working too hard and long which caused me low back pain…. here in Japan as well, many companies went bankrupt or started restructuring because of the recession. and my company fired many employees the other day. but the amount of work is the same. so the left workers have to work a lot. the future of japanse economics doesn’t look good at the moment. I I know I have to feel delighted about still having things to do but I it gives me physical pain. how about your country?
hi my darling, Evan! are you guys trying to come up with Japanese puns? thats interesting, because there are plenty of puns in my language. for example….
kisha no kisha ga kisha de kisha sita. (a reporter of your company came back to your company by train)
uri uri ga uri uri ni kite uri uri nokoshi uri uri kaeru uri uri no koe (a seller of cucumbers came to sell them and he couldnt sell out of all them. you would hear his voice when he went back while trying to sell out)….. sad story…. :x
Domo arigato, hitoshi-san! I have sent these to my daughter. :grin:
you are welcome! i also just left a comment on Bob. please check it out! is your daughter interested in Japanese words?
My daughter has learned some Japanese words from reading and drawing manga. She knows katakana and hiragana and a few kanji, and gives Japanese names to the people she draws. Some times when I talk to her she answers in Japanese. :smile:
Konbanwa Hitoshi san.
Nice to hear from you again but sorry to hear about your back pain. I have had back pain myself at various times and I know how unbearable it can be; it’s the only thing that made me cry since I was a kid. I hope it gets better soon. :smile:
Interesting to read about your Japanese palindromes; at first glance, I thought “Those are not palindromes at all because the letters do not read the same backwards as they do forwards.” but then I realised that, when written in Japanese, each syllable is only one symbol, so you have to read them phonetically and then they make sense.
You say that Japanese is a very hard language to acquire, but I say it can’t be so difficult since I’ve heard very young children speaking it fluently. :lol:
マリナ・オルãƒãƒ¯

wow! fantastic! she is nice and great! she can answer you in Japanese! sugoi :smile: Japanese is said to be one of the most difficult languages to acquire, though. hope she will be a hot woman being able to use another language in future like Marina!!!
I did a google search and I’m suprised there are so many articles about Marina Orlova (Marina Orurowa hottofuwazu ;-) ) in Japanese. Like this one.
but i dont think that there are many japanese people who check this site everyday like me.
I would like to request the word [fuck] because it is seemingly the most versatile word in the English language, used as a noun, transitive verb, a verb, an adjective, and many more parts of speech daily by all kinds of people. Of all the words in the English dictionary starting with F, this one is the only one referred to as the “f word” as well. Quite an interesting word with hopefully an interesting origin.
Hello jl6293,
I welcome you to the HotForWords website and you’ve come to the right place. Marina hasn’t done the F word yet in a video lesson, but she has practiced saying Fudge a lot in the video lesson. Be sure to watch all 500+ videos to see what I mean. Click the Videos link at the top or you can also find the videos by clicking the All Words link at the top.
Marina wrote about the F word here in this article
Also, Marina covers the F word in her latest book which you can find out above by clicking the MyBook link.
Enjoy.
The Filmography listing at imdb needs updating (no clue how that can be done other than generic “contact imdb”).
Since the cat’s out of the bag with your intense mastery of the English language, I was wondering if you would take up a request for the phrase [give up the ghost]. I know you could hornswaggel my inquiry, but I hope you wont.
Oh, does it really get minus 30 degrees in St. Petersburg? (got a job offer to work there)
WOW once again dear teacher you have out shined :?:
yourself :cool: B.B.
Marina, was just watching jewelry show, and was reminded of a fun word that relates why a [pave'] diamond ring is like a [paved] road.
Be well!

Not exactly — he actually pointed to much more “zoomed in” pose (pose is difference and the camera is closer to the model). It is likely that the photo you linked to and the photo he linked to were taken during the same photo-shoot session. Here’s what he actually pointed to:

You like the picture PK shows in 12.1.1.4 or the one you originally showed me in 12.1.1.1.1 which is this one? And how out 12.2?
To be clear, my comments in this Comment Block #12 should not be taken to imply that I share ilikesexytime’s tastes in what he finds sexy (I do not find that model — nor any aspect of her — alluring). I merely appreciate his pursuit here of whatever it is that he finds sexy.
man wats 12.2? but YES that link you posted has even better GRAPHICS. GETS MY VERY EXCITED!! :LOOOK AT THOSE SOFT FEET. HER TOES ARE PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and nice breasts toooo. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Do you know why the Chinese engaged in the evil practice of tying up the feet of baby girls and ensuring that baby girls grew up to have tiny feet?
Many cultures engage in forms of body decoration and bodily alteration such as feet and head binding
From what I’ve heard tiny feet there is considered to be a beauty trait
Ayn Rand did an essay on that, or something similar — and compared it to the things that we do to children psychologically. :neutral:
A multi-part essay titled “The Comprachicos”. Victor Hugo mentioned the Comprachicos in his novel “The Man Who Laughs”. In the beginning of her essay, Ayn Rand translated a few passages of Hugo explaining the methods and goals of the Comprachicos — they would deform kids (for example, by putting the child inside a tight barrel and not removing the barrel for several years as the child’s body grew to take on the shape of the interior of the barrel — the kid would grow to be a distorted adult); these distorted adults were used in the traveling circus to make depraved, paying customers laugh and feel good about themselves.
The Chinese used a similar method to distort the feet of girls. They did so since they found it sexy. The grandmother of my Chinese neighbor in Ceylon had such tiny feet. There is nothing intelligent or sexy about this evil practice and its results.
Crated a topic in the Forum on what Ayn Rand wrote on the Modern Comprachicos, the Educators.
Here’s an “outtake” from that forum-post: it was to be the last para, but I decided against putting it there. Might add it there later as a comment.
Aside: the Bollywood movie Slumdog Millionaire has a scene that dramatizes the comprachicos blinding children. The motive of these Indian comprachicos was to use the monsters for begging; being blind (or crippled) would increase the chances of getting alms. A few years ago, there was a report of a doctor, a “plastic surgeon”, in Calcutta who advertised for customers by saying he would cripple them so that they could increase the alms they would get when they begged. As was once said in a Conan the Barbarian comic, India is “The land of the Vindhyas where the life of a cow is more sacred than that of a human being.”

GOOG is a great first stock for you to own, since you’re on top of their performance and general business. It has real upside potential to about $590 and then will meet resistance. As busy as you are, you can’t be watching stocks like a trader. Just watch the volume of activity that GOOG has and see that it continues to have higher highs and higher lows as it continues to the resistance level.
A year ago, a friend introduced me to
http://www.investools.com
It and its trading platform,
http://www.thinkorswim.com
have been bought by Ameritrade
Now, my 85 yo stock broker calls me for advice, twice a week! Even though I could trade on Thinkor Swim (ToS)for a fraction of the cost of my old broker, as you know I’m loyal to people I started out with. On ToS I used Investools to buy BUCY options in March at $5 that are now $162 and headed for $500. This stuff does work if you’re careful and disciplined…duh, who ME?
:-)
As you invest in anything, do it from the top down:
1. Do I want to be in this market at all (be it stocks or real estate or gummy bears)?
2. What sectors in the market are doing the best (railroads or commercial real estate in Glendale).
3. Then, what companies in those sectors are doing the best?
4. Then, you analyze the companies you like and make your final decision on what price to buy and when to sell. (Support and resistaqnce levels you learn from chart-watching)
Nothing goes up forever. Grass does not become trees.
Sell decisions are more important than anything.
If a stock goes down more than 15%, sell it. It’s better to have what’s left of your capital- than see the stock fall to 20% and stay there for weeks or months. You can always buy back into it a month later, as it may be rising. Men, especially, make the egotistical judgement to keep losers because they think they were right in the first place.
NEVER buy stock from the recommendation of another person.
If someone says GOOG is a hot stock, that’s nice. But check it out from the top down. Baidu (in the same sector) might be out-performing it because of strength in the Chinese market.
I don’t like BIDU. I have GOOG and will be selling it off as it gets to $590 because of rersistance.
Investools will teach you the skills to evaluate stocks, chart their progress and determine resistance levels on the top side and support levels on the bottom.
I see your shoe rack is in Salt Lake
:-) UPS might be a good stock…don’t know
That bar sequence was nicely scripted and well done!
You looked wonderful and very NY business ladylike
I bought Google at around 280 because I like the company especially since it seems to do well in a recession. I also like Apple and was going to buy it, but it doubled before I got any. Whoops!
Hi!
I wrote all of the earlier posting, hoping it might also help the other fans.
I’m super impressed with Investools. The first thing they said at the first meeting was “What are your goals and how can we help you achieve them?” and there were all kinds of people there from experienced investors to little old ladies, desperate for help in managing what they had in their 70′s! I-tools is out of Draper, UT, near SLC.
You’re right about GOOG doing in a recession. I got postcards from them, as a small business owner, offering me $100 in free adwords just to try them out! That’s responding to the reality of the marketplace better than I would have imagined a “cyber” company to do! They’re also getting companies without web sites into their system! The day will come when you’ll be able to ask your Android telephone, ‘Where’s the nearest pizza shop” and GPS will point you to a small pizza place that isnt’ even on the web!
In the past 26weeks:
Goog is up 35%
Priceline(PCLN… I used to work with & know Jay Walker if you want a recommendation to work with them) is up 64%
Baidu (BIDU) up 67%
In the past 18 weeks:
PCLN +56%, BIDU 41% and GOOG 34% (I only hold GOOG)
The sector for all three companies, “computer services” is now attracting institutional money (which drives the stock market in the US).
September 47-of-100, October 64, November 83
That 100 point scale simply tells you whether money is coming in or going out of a sector, as institutional money comes and goes.
I didn’t buy back into GOOG (at 521) until the October “64″ (above) showed that the sector was going upwards and GOOG was doing well. I sold the 521 at 562, then bought back into the position and now am shooting for sell-buys in the 580–560 range, all while holding my first GOOG buy at 591 (in 2007) as dead money. I can’t wait for GOOG to hit THAT resistance level!
Your statement about GOOG doing well in a recession is probably best applied to PCLN, as people try to save money. BIDU’s recovery is due to the more rapidly-recovering Chinese economy- than GOOG, which seems to be trending up because of optimism about all kinds of advertising.
Good buy at 280, girl! I was sweating with GOOG shares I bought years ago at 591 while you were buying! My ego and lack of knowledge as things tanked (in early 2008) kept me from selling on the way down (past my 15% cost) and you can see for yourself how long I’ve been sitting on dead money waiting for it to come back.
You can see how volatile GOOG shares are. Like any stock in a positive climb… it goes up, pulls back, settles and then goes up again. You can practice making money like a mini-trader by looking at a chart of the activity and seeing (as I did a couple weeks ago with GOOG) a chance to sell, hold your breath, and then re-purchase when it dropped 15-20 points.
The happy thing for you is that it will never go back to your 280 cost. You’ve already doubled your money! Now, you can put a “Good Till Canceled” sell order for the next higher price peak you think it will have, before resistance beats it back down (right now, the chart shows that GOOG is meeting resistance around 560.
The conservative approach might be to GTC sell at 559 and buy back at 550. The more gutsy approach would be to let it exceed its resistance level, then GTC a sell order at 562-565 and then smile as the professional institutions punish the amateurs… as they sell it back down to a buy point like 550..from where it will come back.
The danger with the sector now is that there is currently a HUGE increase in volume coming into the sector. That’s institutional money. As soon as those guys have made their good, incremental profit (and sell at what they consider the resistance level), the volume may stall or even decline…and the stock will be very vulnerable to bad news of any kind.
If you see both a lower trading volume of GOOG and perhaps bad news affecting retailers and advertisers, put a “Stop Limit” on your shares, so you don’t have to lose sleep like a trader but will be protected if the shares suddenly react to “bad news.” Because that’s what the pros will be doing and all the current volume of buys will turn into a flood of sells.
GOOG might well get to 590 by X-mas. But IF it does that on lower volume it’s a trap for amateurs (with no volume to hold it up). On bad news, with no volume support, the stock could drop to 565 (which will then be the new lower support level, just as 560 is currently the upwards resistance level).
When you see GOOG hitting resistance at 590, I’d recommend you put a STOP LIMIT order to sell at 575, just in case it falls on its ass…then you’re out and can buy back in wherever price it levels off at… maybe at 567…and then go for another ride if it still seems to be doing well. Maybe it will get beat up from 590 and loiter around 560 for six months.
Good luck to you and anyone else on the markets!
I hope my introduction to Investools was beneficial.
We manage half of my family’s charity portfolio with the tools now and the result being that, even in this horrible year of stocks, we out-performed the local United Way in our gifts to the community (4 of last 5 years, thank God).
It’s sweet to share it with you and your online family, MO.

Never knew I was part of a cult-following. ;-)
I’m part of a fanclub I guess, but not a cult.
Hey Lennie,
Maybe we are part of a cult with the emphasis on culture
I think HotForWords must investigate and tell us, does [cult] and [culture] have a common root and are they related? I would think so, but I’ve heard differently, or does it depend on the context of the sentence? HotForWords, must investigate.
You look beautiful as usual!
