thanks you very much

I’m a full blown sneezer.
I make my door bell ring in agreement.
Marina, I would like to know the origin of the term [beast mode]. I’m certain everyone else wants to know, too, even if they don’t know they know. Thank you!
:shock: Hurry Marina :!: Post a new lesson :!: I’m going stir-crazy :!: :twisted: :mrgreen:
I sneeze and I almost always do it twice. Mostly in private where I can really let loose with it. :)
It’s funny to think I was born when marina was only 12. My god has she grown since then
:shock: You think that’s funny :?: :!: I was only 9 when Marina was born :!: Man, I feel OLD :!: ;-)
I was Knoted borned…….
Forgotof…funny :lol: w o r d s
Marina just incacase no one has requested this already and as you have already done the other long words maybe you could put [honorificabilitudinitatibus] into video form xx
Movie critic at large. Film: Delicatessen (1991)
This is the best European film I’ve seen since “The Eighth Day”, and really, it’s even better. The highest score for the camera work. Excellent concept for a movie, just dripping (literally) with atmosphere. Excellent casting, and generally an overall success of a film. I rated it 4 stars out of 5 @ Netflix, as it was one of their “watch instantly” movies, but I might as well have rated it a 5.
i’v just heard from my friend that beds are called beds because the word [bed] looks like a bed! please explain!
You’ve done ‘coffee’, but you haven’t done [chocolate], which is far more interesting, etymologically speaking.
By the way, have you ever read “A Mouthful of Air”? I think you’d like it. It’s by Anthony Burgess, who also wrote “Clockwork Orange”, in which he borrowed a few words from Russian.
Love you! Spaseeba!!
Interesting recommendation, seeking. The Burgess’ novels, “Clockwork Orange” and “1985” are both excellent books. I read C.O. after I saw the film, but the novel was well written and hard to put down. I remember reading “1985” but it deserves reading again, since I don’t remember much about it (it’s been 30 years), except it dealt with the stultifying effect on a nation with too much bureaucracy, specifically Britain post-WWII. Topical, since the U.S. seems poised to expand it’s bureaucracies. I see that “A Mouthful of Air” is about languages and linguistics. I’ll have to put that on the short list. Having read up on Burgess at wiki, it’s clear he had the credentials to write such a book.
Thanks. Haven’t read “1985″, I’ll have to check it out.
Just saw the new Jamesatwar video. He did a great spoof on the song and lightly rips on the the new vampire movie thats out. Check it out >>>

I think its the best one since he did “Popstar” and of course “The way I are” featuring our lovely teacher. :mrgreen:
huh? Anyways, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Padiddle
Marina you must be very busy with life & such right about now,
however i am jonesing waiting soooo long for new video’s yours
of course :lol: also let me take this opportunity to wish you & yours
a happy & especially healthy Thanksgiving, from me & mine ;-)
:cool: B.B. :mrgreen: p.s. that wish goes for all the HFW family on
her web site :smile:
I have no idea where it comes from and hope you can shed some “light” on it. [Padiddle] Refers to one working headlight on a car & a game but where does it come from?
It comes from the mind a person who has “one light burned out,” if you know what I mean. :roll:
What about the word (SCREW)??………Hmmmmmmm is this a good one ……YES!!!
Keep up the good work………
Dolan for short
Hey Marina,
word / phrase – request,
you can do a lot with this on : )
[knock on wood]
Hey Rijk, :smile:
A couple of these dudes claim that knocking on wood saved their lives. I don’t know about the satire being enjoyable and it was initially for HotForWords, but I do give them credit for trying.
Commercial break NINE INCH NAILS :mrgreen: ;-)
hey Vrock
you mean she did it already, didn’t see it? Oo noooo.
we have afkloppen and you do that on wood, so there is some kind of relation.
i think it comes from sailing to knock on the ship for a save trip, but that’s just a guess.
like the queen song.
lol haven’t got two minutes, the second one puzzles me : ?
No Rijk,
She did not do that one already. The link for “dudes” was actually someone’s video request to her initially, so your phrase request
[knock on wood] is still OPEN. ;-)
And your guess is probably better than theirs.
Oh and why does the second one puzzle you? It’s just a random song I picked for you to check out, It’s my favorite Nine Inch Nails
song. :cool:
Hey here’s
Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts, Mick Taylor and Jim Dickinson are listening to a recording of their Song Wild Horses. Taken from the documentary ‘Gimme Shelter’ from Charlotte Zwerin, Albert und David Maysles about the Rolling Stones and the Altamont Free Concert in 1969.
Take it easy Rijk :smile:
oke, thought you wanted to tell me something with the song, great song.
stones
had to look long for this one, but i got it lets dedicate this one to the hfw site ; )
thanks Vrock i will : )
Yeah, I guess those lyrics are serious. But no intention on any message with that, at least here anyways.
Your long search was worth it for that song. :cool:
Nice dedication….Rijk ;-) :smile:
While some say there is no such constitutional right to secede or nullify federal law, and others argue that the Ninth and Tenth Amendments to the US Constitution protect such states’ and individuals’ rights, there is a higher law that takes precedence over Constitutional law, namely Natural Law, which governs our natural, inherent rights as human beings, as noted in the Declaration of Independence.
Further, given that the US Constitution is a “contract,” its terms are legally binding to all who reside within the US territories whether or not they voluntarily consented to participate in such a contract. 19th-century entrepreneur Lysander Spooner observed that the Constitution’s contractual obligations are to those who signed such a document, and applied to the people living at the time, and cannot possibly apply to people living in future generations. And, Spooner notes,
…. only a small portion even of the people then existing were consulted on the subject, or asked, or permitted to express either their consent or dissent in any formal manner. Those persons, if any, who did give their consent formally, are all dead now…. It is not only plainly impossible…. that they Could bind their posterity, but they did not even attempt to bind them…. the language neither expresses nor implies that they had any right or power, to bind their “posterity” to live under it. It does not say that their “posterity” will, shall, or must live under it. It only says, in effect, that their hopes and motives in adopting it were that it might prove useful to their posterity….
… :smile:
Hey Leonard,
lol, lot of thought in this one.
thumps up for mentioning the soars : )
yfw for the horses.
I would like the request the phrase [Beat around the bush]
I would like to know the history about the word [lightening] in reference to [lightning] Why do people use the incorrect spelling, how did the spelling come about, is it still used in places around the world?
Lightening has an entirely different meaning. It means to reduce the weight of something (as an aircraft structure), by making holes in it, using thinner material and so forth.
Sometimes lightning punches holes in aircraft, which lightens it. Arf, arf. :smile:
Heres a BRITISH WORD REQUEST [ BULLOCKS! ]
I would like to request the phrase [ clean as a whistle ] , [ clear as a bell ] stay sweet and humble Marina MUAH!
[ask] proper pronunciation
Pleaaaaaaaaaaaase, could you give us a lesson about [funemployed]… It is a so nice word!!!! :razz:
Let’s throw in starvacation, which is what might happen to you while you are funemployed.
And one more word ….please :idea:
Always wanted to know the origins of the world [Choreography]

Hi Marina! I would like to request the word [Cheerleader]
Thank you. :razz:

…happy at thanks :razz: :cool:
I really, really, really need to know the origins of the word [salacious] as this is a word that comes to mind whenever I am studying your etymology videos…can HotForWords help?????????
I have been very curious on how the word anime like the japanese cartoons got that name?
Can you please do the word [pizza] and/or [pizzeria] Im surprised you have not done that yet :lol:
I’m embarrassed to say that this is the first time I’ve watched this video. It Was incredible! :shock: So long and so so funny. I really enjoyed the whole thing. You had me cracking up big time when you sneezed the big green “hocker” on the other you. This lesson had a major old school feel to it, the same but 10x better. I just felt a lot more personal and I for one dig it. Its so fun to watch you let yourself go with some of the characters you play. Outstanding video- Five stars x10! :cool:
It has been FIVE DAYS since the last lesson! Is M asleep at the stick?
Speaking of Closed Captioning for the deaf, here is an article I just came across.
YouTube Automated Captioning Changes Game For SEO
• “The machine-generated service will generate English-only captions initially on 13 partner channels.”
• “The captioning service isn’t perfect, but will improve in time…”
• “… the automatic feature could help to further optimize videos for people searching for content…”
• “…while it’s a great feature to make content more accessible for the deaf, other benefits exist for marketers.”
• “Today, very little text from video is being captured on the Web because no one wants to transcribe thousands of videos. “
That’s a step in the right direction.
Why does [terrific] mean something good but [terrified] is something bad. How can the c and ed switch a meaning so much? Has there been some kind of awe full – full of awe- awful switch?
On the subject of terri words Marina, terrier dogs have to be about the most un-terrifing creature I have seen.
Terrifically Terrible Terrier
lol this one is pretty angry
I miss this site. But no one talks to me (or each other really) anymore.
oh come on james, look around there is still some talk : ) ; )
I would like to request the word [mugging]
Was studying and thought of why my peers(Singapore) label intense studying for exams as [mugging].
Thanks Marina!
I would like to request the word [spandex] ;-)
;-) tissue, I dont even know u :oops: Marina :cool: i would be pleased :lol: to kiss you anytime :cool: B.B. :mrgreen: p.s.
your new place looks great :!: hope u feel right at home real soon :smile:
how about [SORRY]?
when i cause someone trouble, i often apologize by telling them “I’M [SORRY].”
BUT, when i’m listening to another person’s problems and i tell them “I’M [SORRY],” they almost always say “IT’S NOT YOUR FAULT.”
where did this term go wrong? of course it’s not my fault. i didn’t do anything wrong. i just wanted to convey sentiment. can you shed some light?
P.S. Your newest interview is up now :smile: http://ow.ly/DODl
Enjoy! My son made me put in every possible detail and links to your new book info and YouTube and everything. He practically browbeat me into making sure the article included every detail possible. I had to remind him that YOU wrote a book and this was to be a profile.
Amazing what a small town can produce… :lol: I enjoyed the association :smile: …[burlesque]…Dialectology :lol:
THere must have been something special in the water of that small town :smile: to produce such brains and talent and…all the rest.
Okay, article is officially among the most commented. Can Marina’s fans keep it going? It got there in record time!

Thanks and hoping everyone is helping Marina become a feature article :)

Hi Jan,
I read your article earlier today and enjoyed it very much and your article added a new dimension in getting to know Marina. been seeing your tweets and I’ve been very busy in the last few weeks. I’ll also leave a comment on your site. Good to hear from you again.
Good to hear from you again,too. :smile:
Hi Jan,
As I was reading the newly added comments below your article, I noticed that the comment box is now working for me using FireFox. I don’t know if the site owners made a change or if it was something on my end. Anyway, just letting you know that the text box works now.
Hi Jan,
I hope you don’t mind me adding some corrections to the article.
Marina’s actual physical appearances on O’reilly has been 9 times.
I’m keeping track over on the Forum. Click here to see 8th appearance on Forum I haven’t added the 9th appearance (Halloween edition) yet. The other Marina sightings on O’Reilly were composite re-reruns.
On page 4 of your article, middle of 1st paragraph:
Corrections are in bolded curly braces {x}
Square brackets on this site are used to isolate word requests.
“… (and, from personal experience, I know that Marina often answers those comments). The{n} she checks emails and reader comments on a related HotforWords website. She gets emails in the thousands daily so {s}he has to quickly decide how to prioritize her replies.”
Yes, I caught those, too. Unfortunately, the publishing template at the site occasionally adds or subtracts letters. I proofed it over 10 times and it still did it. Sorry about thinking Marina was on O’Reilly 9 times. Doesn’t she have an appearance coming up quickly? I would be more than happy to add a note about her appearing only 8 times but if she is going to be on there soon, I wonder if that would be appropriate. Your take? Marina’s take? I want to be accurate, always, and appreciate your feedback very much.
Sorry for the confusion Jan,
On page 3, 3rd paragraph of your article you said:
“She has appeared at least ten times on the O’Reilly factor, discussing all sorts of words”
I would correct that to:
“Marina has appeared 9 times….” and optionally add a note about the edited or composite re-runs.
I only show 8 appearances on the Forum because I have not added the 9th appearance (Halloween edition), yet.
Thank you. I will bring the corrections to my editor’s attention and am glad you are on the ball!
Are those e-mails of you-tube?… :?: :lol: An art intervention is an interaction with a previously existing artwork, audience or venue/space. It has the[ auspice of conceptual art] and is commonly a form of performance art. Good new day is here already……
Hi Jan,
I hope you don’t think that I am anally retentive. I’m really not (OK, a little) and I hope this will help you. :grin:
I was not able to comment on your site using FireFox 3.5.5.
It looks like your site is 100% Microsoft built. My guess is that if your site were not proprietary MS, you would have a lot more comments. I don’t know if people with Macs are able to comment and if they are, why am I not able to comment using FF.
I was able to comment using MS IE 6.x
The only reason I did that is because I know you, otherwise I would not have left a comment because I do not use MS IE, except on very rare occasions when I know the site.
You also mentioned the templates thing. I don’t know how locked up you are using your site and my recommendation would be to move the site to an open sourced site such as WordPress or other great open sourced blogging platforms.
I am a technology geek, and this HotForWords site is the best anywhere in the world. The technology and ease of access to a site is important. I am doing some research into the area of accessibility of web sites, etc.
I think this is extremely important info. That is not actually MY site but is news and media site which is highly ranked. They are moving to a better format but have had some technical issues through the transition.
Firefox often works there better than anything.If it isn’t working as well now, it could be:
1. Overload and too many people checking out the info
2. The site upgrading
3. Unknown factors.
I’ll be happy to pass on your experience in trying to leave comments. The site owners want everyone to be able to access it.
Thank you for your reply regarding the site, Jan.
Regarding the number of appearances on O’reilly, since your article will be read for some time to come, it think it would be OK to say that Marina has appeared at least 9 times.
Of course, if Marina appears on O’Reily again soon, then you could leave the article as is, as the article will be self correcting. :smile: Looking at the Calendar (see navigation links above), I don’t see any upcoming O’Reilly events.
Are you looking into accessibility with regards to the handicapped, such as the deaf? It seems to me that having a notated version of the videos for the deaf to read would not be too much of an additional workload, especially if the work could be done by TA’s.
Hi CK,
My reference to accessibility refers more to the idea of usability in terms of browser standards and ability to present a consistent user experience across all platforms and browsers. Handicapped accessibility certainly is one of those elements and comes under a variety of guidelines such as WAI, UAAG, ATAG, ADA and others.
Hearing impaired Closed Captioning is usually done by people with the skillset and technology to create accurate captioning. It is not a trivial task unless a TA has that skillset or the time. Of course you don’t have to be a TA to volunteer to do this kind of work. Anyone with the time and skill set can do it.
All one needs is to get permission from Marina to replicate the video and then to insert the captioning which can be either hard captioned (visible at all times) or Closed Captioned using YouTube’s player technology.
A two minute video would take me about 20 min to an hour or more to transcribe and add the captioning. The reason for the time is that some words require to be looked up, insert corrections as needed and verify the proper transcription. Someone with a transcribing skillset would be able to do it much more quickly than I could. There are tools that can help, such as speech to text converters. I have not tried it on these videos yet.
Many of the hearing impaired institutes hire people to do these kinds of tasks, and I think many of them are very busy. There is always the question of demand and how many hearing impaired users would this help.
I would think that anyone aligned with the hearing impaired community would take the lead in this endeavor in order to create and implement a plan for captioning.
Hi Jan,
I added a summary of Marina’s 9th visit to the O’Reilly Factor show in the Forum. You can also see my previous summaries of all of Marina’s visits to O’Reilly.
OK…[toys] are toys and Marina rhymes with purr–rina…object request [Barbie] as like a [toy]-[doll]………This is the first Barbie commercial that first aired during Mickey Mouse Club!

I would very much like it if you could explain or put into a sentence the word [ENGORGE]….what use is this word? [ENGORGE]…I think there may be one i can think of but that is breaking the terms of use policy…
HOw about [kernard] or [Kenard]. I remember ML Jones ol Living Faith Literary Agency in 1992 using that word in a brochure. I did not have the $300.00 for a supposedly “non-fee charging agent”! And the term [boiler plate contract] They said Leon Jones was some kind of crook.
I would like to request the word [acai berry]. Really just to understand how they came up with such an awkward name and to learn a little bit about them. I heard it could kill cancer cells but i want to know more. ;-)

I’m a huge fan of yours and recently I’m in a very hectic exam-taking period. And so it came to my mind, to ask you about the origin of the word [University]…is it something “universal” or has it something to do with the “universe” ? Seems so funny to me, so I just want to ask the PRO ^_^
Spasiba,
Slavo
I was talking with a friend of mine, and he said, [It's no skin off my nose] and then he said, “I wonder where that phrase came from?” well I immediately thought to come here. Search the database with no results, so there you go. :-)
Thanks,

Skin completely off a nose.
Hi: My word or daily phrase request; (laser this)-[incarnation]- could this be related to a carnation flower? Or, how about ennarled nation?…something we all are—GroUp THiNk :oops: :lol: :oops: William H. Whyte coined the term in 1952, in Fortune magazine:
Groupthink being a coinage—and, admittedly, a loaded one—a working definition is in order. We are not talking about mere instinctive conformity—it is, after all, a perennial failing of mankind. What we are talking about is a rationalized conformity—an open, articulate philosophy which holds that group values are not only expedient but right and good as well.

Evan and Bob: You guys know how to read the following? Did you know of this quote by Dorothy Parker already?
Hs4Mm, yes that is an old line that’s been
around for a long time. There are also
several variations that have been
told by comedians. I can’t think of
any variations at the moment. Will
let you know when I do.
One joke starts with:
The teacher asks little Billy,
please use horticulture in a sentence.
Little Billy replies; you can lead a
whore to culture, but you can’t make
her think.
I can’t improve on pK’s excellent response, so I’ll just add that one man’s Mede is another man’s Persian. :mrgreen:
Not sure if this is a myth or a real condition: seems when a woman has this condition she gets an orgasm every time she sneezes; could be just a joke since almost everyone who mentions this adds something along the lines of her using pepper as a “cure”. Anyway, here’s a story from 2007 of a woman with a much more advanced condition: http://bit.ly/1J2UG3

Just found out that people in New England distinguish between physical unattractiveness and mental unattractiveness; they use the term “homely” for the former and reserve the term “ugly” for the latter. http://twitter.com/GoForThisWorld/statuses/5846711367
A neighbor of mine had black mold in her house, so she needed someone to test it. I found this guy whose sole job was identifying the mold specie. He charged $30 if you bring a sample in and $700 if he comes to you (for which he has increased liability). He had an office which had one chair and a small wooden table upon which sat a microscope. That was it. There was not anything else in the room, so if his rent ever increased too much he could pack up in about three minutes flat. Ah, the simple life of a mold-tester.
Hi Marina, Love your book. I was wandering where the word [hoagie] came from.
Chard2
It comes from Carmichael, CA.
It’s true, I tell you.
Jane Wyman and Bing Crosby sing this Oscar award winning song (1952…and from CampKohler’s link “…Hoagy went on to study law at Indiana University but he was already a “jazz maniac” and his own band, The Carmichael Syringe Orchestra, was made up of a gang of loose cannons whose spiritual leader was a [Dada-inspired] poet named Monk. “There are other things in this world besides hot music,” Monk advised Hoagy in a serious moment, “I forget what they are–but they’re around.” … :cool: [folk-jazz] :!:
A hoagie (the name derives from Hog Island, a place where early Italian settlers in Philadelphia worked….they took their lunches to work, often leftover salad, cold cuts and bread. Combining them became known as a Hog Island Sandwich or Hogie..later Hoagie.)
…thats what I read… :grin:
I recently saw the words pugnacious and repugnant and they have similar meanings pugnacious is an adj. meaning quarrelsome, fond of fighting, and repugnant is an adj. meaning offensive, disagreeable, distasteful. i was wondering where the pug came from in those words i always thought a pug was a dog do they have pug in there because of the breed?
.
Getting straight to the point, are you? :razz:
i ont know why it did that lol i didnt mean to ;-)
I can’t believe MissCupcake actually believed ’tissue’ came from the sound of sneezing! Anyway, I am a loud sneezer. Some people think it’s too loud; what am I supposed to do, suppress it? That could be dangerous, no?
When I wrenched my back last month, a sneeze shot stabbing pains all along my back. After a while I learned to curl up in the fetal position and tense up to prepare for the shock. I am usually a three-sneezer, but after a bit of this, I soon learned to use mind over matter and “defuse” an oncoming sneeze.
Normally when a sneeze almost seems to be coming on, I can hold my breath a bit and kind of balance just at the start of the sneeze until it triggers, because it feels good. I guess it works in reverse too, such that you can outwait it until the urge dissipates.
No, MissCupcake used the onomatopoeia ploy to get Marina to do the lesson. I did the same thing with “handkerchief”. :lol:
Hot for Words,
I once sneezed loud enough to scare a lady over 50 feet away.

i would like to request the word [whale-tail]
Many people like eating their snot after picking it out of their noses, but they rather don’t admit it. I did it only when I was a child. Yuck! Have you ever done the same, guys?
Word request:
[freelance]
When I see the three of you sitting in a row, a word request comes to mind…[foursome]…Hey! Every class has to have a naughty,sassy student! Marina, here is an apologetic love song, it’s one of my favorites. To those filthy minded classmates…how do you know I wasn’t thinking about [golf]?!?!
Stuff right from Jamaica, a good thing ;-)
This is some older ska. I also collect Reggae and Calypso. I had a Rastaman stay at my house once, a big guy with long dreads. It was kind of like having a bear live with you. Bellowing laughter when he made his cannabis jokes. He was a drummer in a band. He told me allot and answered my questions about the music I had. He said, “MON, your collection should be in a library in JAMAica.” That always makes me feel alright.
This guys cousin likes [brandy]—-The Mighty Sparrow strikes again. Big up Barack Obama. See you in the Caribbean. …small world we live in and his name was Cuty from Trinidad :lol: Ja—- ever make home made steel drums?
This was my first album. It’s autographed from when my parents went to Jamaica in the60′s.

Hello Pat,
It looks like you are requesting the origin of the word golf?
Marina has done that video in the form of a game.
Here is the lesson which starts of as a game.
http://www.hotforwords.com/2008/04/24/golf-game/
Here is the answer to the golf game.
http://www.hotforwords.com/2008/04/27/golf-answer/
Shoot!! I try to always check the list first. Thanks.
Great video Marina,the length of the video made it easier to absorb the info a little easier!The panda sneezing and blowing you away was funny indeed!Over all excellent job!I love you Marina,and hope your new apartment has helped you out!When I sneeze I sneeze about 2 or 3 times about medium pressure,which is better than I was younger,I used to sneeze so hard my insides shook!Well it was good see you again Marina,I wish you well :!: Thank you for all that you do for us :!: :smile:
If you look at the play button on the video out the corner of your eye, the panda looks like it has a rather big.
Once at a conference, I ended up getting loud, strong individual sneezes separated by a minute or so. During the half-time break, someone told me that he once had a similar thing and he closed his mouth when he sneezed. The next time I got a sneeze, I consciously kept my mouth closed — not only did the sneeze get muffled, but after about two such sneezes it stopped! But be careful: closing your mouth might end up adding internal pressure on your ear-drums and bursting them!
If needed, i kinda swallow them.
It was all dry sneezes — just air (no phlegm).
Sounds like a naughty question: Are you [littoral]?
Yes, she said once she liked water very much.

from…[sword] :razz:
No! Not the s-word! :razz:
;-) Yes the “S” word————–Halle Berry Looking Hot – “Swordfish”
……I s-worn to ‘know telling lies’….good morning and good afternoon where applies :lol: open as closed will be :???:
From someone promising (swearing) to seek vengeance, etc.?
This is my first post in what feels like a year, far too long for my liking. I would like to congratulate Marina on her ongoing success that she has had in the recent months, you truly deserve it. I wish you all the best with your continued success as the world’s favourite teacher. :mrgreen:
On the video topic at hand, I have noticed that there are also different type of sneezes as well as different sounding sneezes. For example, when I sneeze, its a slightly wet sneeze but not loud. However when my brother sneezes it can be deafening at times, but not wet. I sometimes wish all sneezes are the same. :lol:
i still love you marina, i know you’re rich, famous and engage i’m still your secret admirer. ;-)
Since you wrote it, you’ve not been her secret admirer. You became her open admirer by the aforementioned declaration, didn’t you? :)
Not if his name is really Rupert T. Beidermier.
sssshhhhh……… that’s why i’m still her secret admirer, this is just between you and me, let’s still keep it secret :mrgreen:
Dear HotForWords,
When I sneeze it sounds like “bless you”.
YourStudent
ThoughtOnFire
And when other people sneeze I don’t say bless you, because I think sneezes sound like Bless You anyways. Peace.
I have a word request. How did sailors come up with the phrase [poop deck] ? And what do they actually do there anyway?
She did that one. http://www.hotforwords.com/2009/06/24/poop-deck-answer/ :smile:
Marina kann aus Scheiße Geld machen! ;-)
Oo, good one!
In case anyone didn’t get it, fglrx says “Mae Marina yn gallu gwneud aur oddiwrth gachu!” :razz:
Now we need a Polish translation! ;-)
Marina puede hacer oro de mierda! :grin:
The answer is blowing in the wind.
Everything is blowing in the wind in England right now!
Well, geez, James, where are the links to pictures of things sailing through the air, etc.?

Thanks, James. I especially liked the video. (A still photo of the wind blowing, is somehow lacking. :lol: )
When the port in the video says it has closed, I wonder if someone approaching in a boat in need of a safe haven is just being told, “Die, sucker!
come on do THE WORD [SOLES] MARINA PLEASE
I’m glad you are doing words again. I would have also related tissue to skin tissue as an example or you could use it in a sentence like “I’m glad I have skin tissue.”
I was just recalling our candle lit dinner and just as we clinked our glasses and I said prost and you said something in Russian, my dog jumped on me and woke me up. He could have at least waited until after dessert. I knew it was a dream. I’m not allowed to play with matches anymore.
HOTFORWORDS!!! where do the words ‘bazaar’ and ‘bizarre’ come from? are they related?

Personally, I sit for love, peace and understanding. It’s much less tiring, as we will both have a long, long wait.
Misscupcake1 is hot. :razz:
The Cult of the Cupcake …[cake][bread][soup] :lol:
Great video. I like this style of Teaching it’s like the older videos.
Home Work: I do full sneezes and about 4 or 5 at a time.
I have a word request. A friend from the Federal Government sent me an e-mail today with the top header stating Classification: Classified and on the next line was [ Caveat ] none. Curious what and where does that word comes from. :smile:
Dear Marina,
When you ask a question, please make it a proper question. For instance, “What was I talking about?” (Чем Ñ Ð³Ð¾Ð²Ð¾Ñ€Ð¸Ð» о?)
You said, “What I was talking about?” This seems declarative, not interrogative. English is not like Russian. We’d ask “What was I talking about?” It’s not “What I was talking about.”
The difference might seem subtle, but it’s obvious to us. “Sneezes were what you were talking about.”
I still like you,
Seesixcm6
Hotforwords feat. misscupcake1, so… the video might be also entitled…
“2 girls 1 cup” :idea: ;-)
Detention for me ;-)
Oh good, my account is still active. :smile:
Thank you for mentioning Nadia, Marina. Here is a good resource to instantly find out how words and names are pronounced in different languages.
And how did you ever guess the exact way I sneeze? (*hapciu*) :mrgreen:
I came across this story about the weirdest sneeze ever, The girl who can’t stop sneezing.
Kudos for finding such a beautiful picture of the Arch of Triumph, in Bucharest. :-)
About the panda sneeze, I have a question. Does your editing suggest that the adult panda blows you away when he sneezes?
Because if that is the case, I draw your attention to the baby panda that actually does the sneezing. It’s mommy only gets startled. But looking at the title of the video on YT, I’m thinking maybe I’ve just misinterpreted it.
I hope everyone is doing great. Marina is on top of her game, as usual. And I hope to be able to comment again alongside all of you, soon.
Hope your day is [grand] Chemikal; and is school treating you good?… :smile:
Hi leonard,
Well now, I wouldn’t say it’s treating me good, just it’s treating me the way it’s supposed to. :mrgreen:
Welcome back, Chemikal. How are the computer science classes? :smile:
Thank you Evan, I sure am a lot wiser since the last time I logged in. In all aspects, computer science included. Thanks for asking. :-)
I need to catch up with a few of Marina’s posts, though I’m up to date with the lessons. I hope I didn’t miss too many of your witty puns. I’ll check back more often.
No, one can never miss too many of my puns. :razz:
The worst of the “Bob-and-Evan” show has been posted over at the ‘Pun My Word forum. :smile:
Hi, Teacher, loved the video. As far as sneezing goes, when out in the world it’s restrained and gentlemanly. Home alone – explosive! I was just over at YT rating your video. It’s the only reason that I go over there anymore. The plethora of miscreants that troll thru the comment sections make me ill. That’s why I was about to bag the whole idea of user created content, until I stumbled upon you. I’ve grown quite fond (and protective) of you in the short time that I’ve been a student here, and when some jerk makes a hateful comment I get cheesed off. Sometimes I hammer on them on their channel so as not to lower the property values on yours, even tho’ that’s what they’re after and it plays into their hands. Hate to see your feelings hurt. This site, however, has a much more dignified clientele. Everybody seems very friendly; Leonard has spoken to me (HI, LEONARD!), and there’s lots of great info to absorb. You just keep being your charming, intelligent self. The YT morons can go get bent. Love to Teacher, dc
:smile:
:smile: :smile: have fun having fun…Marina is a good RuleR :-) ;-)
sorry couldnt hold to publish this to Your comment
Love You Leonard!

Actually, Leonard, the screen name pays homage to an old friend, no longer with us. We worked together and would frequently enjoy a contest of wit. Frequently I would prevail. His way of admitting defeat was to shrug his shoulders and mutter, “We all have our Cross to bear”, combining a pun of my surname, Cross, with an old saying describing Christ the Savior having to carry his own cross to crucifixion, thus meaning, “We all have our burdens.” Meaning that I was his burden. It is meant in no way to be a sacrilege, as I am a man of faith (of the potty-mouth denomination, unfortunately). But, I am not here to save souls, merely to learn and enjoy. And yes, my friend, Ms. Orlova is the best. Cheers. :grin:
I love how Marina changes the thumbnails.
In that last thumbnail I was debating whether to check out your tonsils or your eyes. The eyes won out.
Now, I’m debating whether to check out your eyes or your smile.
Damn, that’s a tough one. OK, the eyes one out, but only by a very small margin. :grin:
Dang, did you notice that I got so distracted by the eyes and smile that I couldn’t even spell “won” correctly. I guess I was thinking that Marina being number one. It’s been a funny day like that.
I also think this old good (but now pimped up thanks to the new technology) style is much better than the one used in the short videos from the few last month. It’s again very interactive and personal (video requests, the teacher’s pet, comments evaluation etc.). Furthermore, much more information and trivia related to the words were able to be contained because of the extended length. It’s always good to step in the etymology recursively. I find it funny when the several haters’ comments got disarmed in an intelligent, witty and cultural way at the end.
GOOD JOB.
I think she should say
“so YTH8R787 You said I was a fat ugly slag?”
“Well, you can FOAD you moronic little shit”
Hahah.
Sorry, I am havin a moment
homework strike!
…sonst streik ich hier und schreibe nicht weiter!
cheers ; )
We’ll have to get PK to translate this for those of us without Deutsche! :razz:
according to James pk has to do something els ; )
When will this end?
Hey James,
i am keeping this up until at least the end of the year.
could end sooner, but than only if i get a very good explanation,
or when PK has the new friend to his YT channel.
i hoop it’s gonna be the last one.
Marina has moved to an apartment without mold, so expecting some action from her side ; )
If he adds her she will accept.. It’s not your battle. :mrgreen:
PK is to modest, he’s not gonna ask her,
i am doing this for the good white night of the west ; )
sorry james,
nightknight :oops:Marina, I was wondering the entomology of the word [centaur]. Although it refers to a creature half horse and half man, it seems that it comes from “cent” which means 100, and “taur” which means “bull”. How did they get a horseman out of one hundred bulls?
пхахах
Hello Marina!
I would like You to deal with the phrase
[snail mail]
I saw this programme where a person was telling the history if this word…but unfortunately I changed the channel by the end of the story and couldn’t know the whole explanation. I think you can make it more interesting and enjoyable, then any boring people on TV.
С любовью из ÐÑтонии:)
Wha….? I am finding it hard to find h8erz on YT! Ok there are the odd few boobs comments but nothing too bad. Everyone loves it.. I think your views will reflect it too. I am so happy. MARINA IS BACK WITH THE SHIZZ! :lol: :lol: :smile: :smile: :smile: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :razz: :razz:
Video requests are back? Hmm, I watched the video.. I now remember the origin, and then just when I thought it couldn’t get better there was a teachers pet!!! AAAHHH And the old music!! AAAH and it was more than 2 mins!! And you are engaging with your audience!!! AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH Oh my god Marina, this was BRILLIANT. This was EXACTLY what I was talking about. I can’t wait for more. It’s amazing! 100 stars!
Marina you and your high quality video, you [snuck] into my dreams last night.
It was very vivid, started off innocently enough then ♫ ♪ “bom chika wah wah” ♫ ♪ Marina you found out I was handy with my hands. So I did some home maintenance for you. ;-) ;-)
Then we were jumping off a cliff hand & hand into a pool of beautiful blue ocean.
Woke up in a very good mood.
Hey Che: remind your hotforwords dream to use this handy device–handerchief…hand-her-a-ch(sh)ie(e)f(t) :lol: :lol: wish in one hand and get what in the other? :lol:

Doesn’t take much imagination to catch the symbolism for the interpretation of “jumping off the cliff hand in hand in a beautiful blue ocean.”
Fellini could not have done it better.
“Thar she blows!” I sneeze violently, sometimes 2 or 3 times in a row, often triggered by the sunlight or dust and sometimes cramping my internal or external organs. Why would the sunlight cause me to sneeze?
[Inquisitive] :smile: Adding my 2cents + everything in my pockets :lol: pig-in-a-poke: very well put request for Marina and the whole “Orlova” family…
:???: :lol: :cool:
Full-force sneezer. Hoolding your nose is a bad idea. My Dad literally blew out his face doing that. He ruptured his sinus cavity and had to have it reconstructed. Ouch! :shock:
Canned rats! Damiana on being teacher’s petted. It looks good on you.
sweet.. thx bsomebody! : )
God bless you. Gazuntite(help me). I sneeze with a blast through my lips. I recognize your sister, is that your cousin in the middle?
Pat I found a source that has gesundheit as having both German and Yiddish backgrounds. I had trouble with the spelling, too.
gesundheit
1914, from Ger., lit. “health!” Also in toast auf ihre Gesundheit “to your health” (see sound (adj.)). Lith. aciu, echoic of the sound of a sneeze, has come to mean “good luck, God bless you.”
Thanks. I new it was German because my Grandpa used to say it.
***Nerd Words***
Heard on the radio this AM:
Unfriend, v.: To delete a friend from one’s online social network.
Lex appeal, n.: The perceived usefulness and popularity of a new word or phrase. :cool:
Duh. Marina already posted a lesson on it yesterday. :|
Back in the ’60s we used to say ‘Hashish’ when sneezing !
Try it sometime, you might like it, it works well, but not in the copshop ! lol
Hey Marina, it looks like you have a student/teacher impersonator over on the APOD discussion board.
http://bb.nightskylive.net/asterisk/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=17635&p=112194#p112194
“I agree, the explanation of how stars nova and supernova is completely erroneous, because it’s based on incorrect assumptions.
“What actually happens is: The arriving negative polarity electric current in the form of arriving electrons from beyond the star’s heliosphere, which is forming an electric Double Layer (DL) that surrounds the star, reaches an influx that is too great for the fluorescing neon layer in the star’s photosphere to sustain conductive transmission of because it has reached its ‘arc mode’ conductance capacity, and it ‘flares’. This causes a dramatic resistance change and the DL reacts, but the massively extrasolar arriving current flow is already inprogress of arrival ! There is a DL failure, and like an electrical transmission station here on Earth, the capacitance envelope explodes; and that my dear students is what a nova is ! (Hot 4 Science ! – yes, Marina has influenced my writing here ! lol )”
Hashish eh? I believe the british also used to say “Hastings” in the earlier ’60s when sneezing.
This video made me laugh, good job. (=
hahhhoooo thats my style
:cool: I’m so glad you went back to the longer lessons Marina :!: :grin: AWESOME :!:
Homework At home I’m a loud sneezier, but in public I try to be as quiet as possible.
Just dropping a couple of tracks here :mrgreen:
:arrow: UFO’s Love to Love from the album Lights Out / An underrated song from a highly underrated band. (1977) :cool:
Hi Marina, :smile:
I see the elements from past lessons (closer shot of you explaining the origin or origins, the length of the video being longer and teacher’s pet!) mixed with the polished production of the present, makes this a fun video, it didn’t seemed rushed, hope this a trend, very nice :razz:
The compilation of sneezes from around the world, very funny and a nice touch. You could start out with comedy, Don’t sell yourself short on acting. ;-)
Besides learning origins of words and phrases which i know you’re passionate about maybe I need a lesson in computer etiquette. I guess I pushed on someone pretty
hard :oops: because of their comments
But WTF to me anyways their words seemed vulgar and disrespectful to you which made me see red. Did I read the intent wrong? Not trying to sound like a hypocrite I do use certain four letter words too, But not in that way on this site, at least I don’t think I do. I don’t normally go after someone like I just did. Maybe I’ve had some disagreements or some retaliatory comments with no pun intended. (I don’t comment a helluv a lot) I guess you and some others on HFW have experience with controversial comments (thankfully not a lot and hopefully not some of mine) but you know ways to deal with it. I guess you exercise will power and don’t respond.
Hey I’m glad you’re feeling better Marina and you conveyed that you’re getting back to normal. :smile:
But I have a feeling that dude will be back, as someone said something about me, nobody leaves this site. There’s too much fun and a lot going on here. ;-)
This maybe controversial But I think this dude is pissed off at YT.
Hey VR,
she is back to basics, like it way better too!
Just went through your comments,
don’t be to hard on yourself, the comment wasn’t that negative. just gave him a piece of your mind : ) ; )
Yeah, I sure did give them a piece of my mind. But looks like I’m right, their back. :lol:
It must be the Cult of Marina/HotForWords. :mrgreen:
:oops: I mean that in a good way!
I agree Rijk, she does look like she’s back to the basics and I like it too. Did you notice towards the end of Tissue+Sneeze she was reading some comments including some (not so nice ones) off of the YT page. Looks like she was finding humor in them.
I hope so, she’s come a long way from this.
and hey THANKS for the smokescreen :smile:
Suicide Blonde! :razz: I haven’t heard that song in ages.
Right On! ;-)
never seen that before, she is dealing better with it now.
my pleasure, i got another one on the shelf just in case
; )
thanks : )
i’ll make a smokescreen for you ; )
suicidal blond now where is that fish?
I have a full blown sneeze. I need to get that tickle out. Right? :lol:
I give a full blown hearty sneeze, but I mush neater than the one in the video.
Mush doesn’t sound neater to me. :roll:
It was late. :smile:
I’ve had a feeling I’ll be using a tissue very soon. No I’m not sneezing. It’s much worse than that. I’m in a stress right now. :cry:
I sneezed last night.
ah…ah…ah-CHOO – HOO :!:
My entire body quaked, my hat shot straight in the air, and I think my heart stopped. I’m sure it frightened the neighbors.
Didn’t that horrible 3 months include some time on a Mega-Yacht on the French Riviera? :???: :lol:
Marina is the greatest! I like her. :grin:
Life has those bitter and sweet moments.
I find that it’s the [tapestry] woven from the differing threads of experience that give character to our existence.
That’s not even a quote from someone else – I made it up! :roll:
Point being – I think our dear Teacher willl remember the struggles of achievement with as much fondness as the easier moments as the years go by.
I know I have!
;-) ;-) ;-)Quote from JODY D: “I find that it’s the [tapestry] woven from the differing threads of experience that give character to our existence.”

Hi Marina,
Thanks for letting us know what was happening with you (black mold in your apartment). I could tell something was amiss and was a bit worried.
Your loyal fan
Evan
teacher’s pet! ~blushes~ sweet! thank you.
sneezes around the world was fun. nicely done. : )
i’ve heard sneezing described as the first orgasm that we experience.. maybe kinda. Oo
Congrats Dami! :grin:
thanks darlingj! : )
Congratulations, Damiana! Getting named “Teacher’s Pet” is a real thrill. Welcome to the club! :grin:
You and your sexy comments! Now you’ve got me wondering what it would be like to sneeze at the “crucial moment.” What a thought to take with me to dreamland… :shock:
thanks evan! you’re right, it was a thrill.
lol! now i’m wondering what it would be like to sneeze at that very moment.. thinking it wouldn’t really be good. :/
Sexy comments lol
Hey Dami,
Great!, you more than deserve it! *\o/\o/* : )
AMserdamn ~smirk~
nice vid. ; )
talk later ‘k
thanks rijk!
i laughed that the comment shown was my oops with IAMsterdamn, too. that was awesome.
yeah.. talk later. : )
Hi Damiana, Congratulations from Vr67 ;-)
That’s totally cool! :smile: :cool: :cool:
thanks Vr67!
love that you’re into rock. static-x is awesome. one of my faves: cold m/

p.s. still wanna call you vrock.. Oo
Good Fave! :razz:

Hey did you hear this one:
Wayne Static uses the Blood Of Catholic school girls to make his hair standup, And to get his hair down he looks at photos of Janet Reno.
yeah, you can still call me vrock ;-) :smile:
niiice. think he’s the inspiration for syndrome a.k.a. buddy pine in the incredibles? lol!
:cool: Congratulations Damiana :!: Welcome to the club :!: :grin:
thanks cufan! : )
Congrats Damiana! That’s awesome. You must have been a super good student to get that honor. :grin:
Sneezing as a first orgasm? No, not even close. It all starts in the brain. Much has to happen there first before any other organ responds.
thanks jack! i must have.. 0:)
lol! i didn’t say that sneezing is a first orgasm. you’re being too literal. sneezing has, to a lesser degree, close to the same type of sensation as orgasm. sneezing feels good most of the time, right? of course sneezing isn’t as intense or as pleasurable as orgasm. i’m talking physiological sensations and nothing to do with the brain or thought processes, turn on’s or turn off’s.. nothing like that. simply a basic physiological sensation.
Well if that is your case then. I don’t think sneezing even comes close. I rank it up there with deposing bodily waste. I feel so much better and lighter too, after the function.
What your saying might be true for women but I don’t think it is so with men. It’s either all there or not. There is no in between.
Oh and yes it has everything to do with the brain. I’m talking about chemical reactions in the brain. The physiological sensation you experience is from a very small release of Dopamine among other things.
communication breakdown>/a<
let's go back to my original statement as maybe i should have been more clear, but i didn't know it was going to turn into a debate:
first in the sentence refers to an early experience going way back to the time following our nascence when we’re wee little beings. to say that a sneeze can be as satisfying as an orgasm when we’re adults is just stupid and not what i meant at all. i like the analogy and stand by it.
communication breakdown
let’s go back to my original statement as maybe i wasn’t as clear as i should have been, but i didn’t expect this turn into a debate:
first refers to an early experience going way back to the time shortly after our nascence when we were wee little beings. to suggest that a sneeze can be as satisfying as an orgasm when we’re adults is just stupid and not what i meant. i stand by the analogy.
well, either way your clearing your head
:lol:
Good for you ;-)
thanks che mero! : )
Congratulations Damiana for being the Teacher’s Pet,
Blushing is good. It goes with your lipstick. :grin:
lol! you’re right.. ~blushes~ thanks karl!
Ooh… teachers pet, good one Dami guess that puts a little sneeze-on magic in your day. LOL
thanks, thegorn! yeah, it was a little bit of magic, you’re right. : )
congrats :cool: Damiana its been awhile since the last pet :arrow:
good luck :lol: B.B. :mrgreen:
thx, BigBhd95! : )
intriguing nick.. do i dare ask what Bhd stands for? Oo
Hi Damiana, I was checking on something in the news section but didn’t want to comment there so i’ll say it here. I don’t think the length of time being here on HFW has anything to do with one receiving recognition for a job well done. Marina is right in giving a shout out for you for teacher’s pet. You deserve it. ;-) :smile:
Oh and I’m glad I’m not the only one that misinterprets peoples’ comments here.
in reference to 17.6 and 17.6.1 and so on. sorry i thought it was funny. It happens to the best of us. I don’t see how CJ missed that one.
thx, vrock! sweet.. : )
why say sorry? it is funny. but it’s one of those conversations i’d rather hadn’t happened.. misinterpretations suck and they happen easily cause we can’t see other’s facial expressions or hear the inflection in their voice when they say something. :/
Hey Dami, sorry I was late in congratulating you on be Teaches’s Pet but you really deserve it. I hope this helps make up for the lateness of the congratz. I know you could do a better job, but I do what I can. ;-)
Mike
aww.. you shouldn’t feel like you had to say something mike. but, thank you! as always you’re sweet as ever. : )
BTW I’m not looking on your ugly pillows in the hold photo.

:smile: Congratulations to Damiana for becoming teacher’s pet :!:
I back you 100% on Damiana’s congratulations for becoming teachers pet…”An apple a day keeps the doctor away,” .apples for all and mostly to teacher’s pet :smile: …Fallen apples
Eating fallen apples (known in the UK as ‘windfalls’), rather than picking directly from the tree, is generally safe. There may be a risk of food poisoning if the orchard is also the area of keeping cattle or other animals, which may contaminate the apples with feces. Still, the risk may be significantly higher if the apples are used to make home-made (unpasteurized) cider or juice, thus letting E. coli multiply.
thanks leonard!
and thanks for the apples and the cool info.. interesting that fallen apples are called windfalls in the UK. sounds like why we say windfall for a happy, unexpected gain (usually monetary, but not just). cool.. : )
Love you like a teachers pet :smile: …suzi quatro the wild one…did your snow melt?…THE WILD ONE (1953)

(These guys fucking suck at rifting/commentary that they are ruining the cartoon, but it is the only video for that line.) :x
Are you in a penthouse now? ;-)
Not surprise your production has become more polished. It in your nature to keep striving for the all the best you can do.
Cool evolution of HFW lesson style, combining the original girl in apartment simplicity with the always-fun acting/ good production AND added element of grading students (positive reinforcement and feedback to fan base) and (as CJ says below) Teachers Pets again.
Don’t worry about the brain damage from the mold. You’re blonde and in LA. Nobody will notice.
Nice to see the Ushanka got unpacked after the move, since I know it’s SO cold in LA these days (poor Twitter baby’s been in La La Land too long and needs to huddle by the fire at the CC mall) Mine from Irkutsk was used today, as I was out chipping ice. It’s three degrees above zero now with a breeze. You have email at “biz”. Cheers :-)
Ooohh, that’s cold! (The blonde crack, I mean.)
WOW! That is such an awesome video Marina! I’m happy your have gone back to your original show and stopped following the church of YouTube advice. Being a large successful company doesn’t mean they are always right.
I like it when you talk slower. It’s much easier to understand you. I didn’t even have to replay the video. The length is much better too. A minute and 32 seconds is just to short of time to cram in a lesson. I’m now able to absorb what you’re teaching.
I’m excited that you brought back Teachers Pet and Video requests. Now we feel like we are included in the class and not just another number on your stats.
I’m so exited! I’m going to look forward to many real HFW video lessons. It’s like a breath of fresh air. :mrgreen:
Ditto Jack! :grin:
I agree. :smile:
Wow! That was a nice long lesson and love the teaching couch.
Very informative and loved the change of scenes and
many other features such as the comments review,
teachers pet and examples of sneezing around the world.
That panda sneeze still makes me laugh and you added a
special touch to that. That was soooo funny.
Excellent video!!!
Nice piece of teaching Marina, really well done!
Hwk: I try to sneeze honestly with some consideration for anyone around. In the restaurant business you are suppose to sneeze into the inside of your arm were the elbow bends and not your hands. I’ve incorporated that into my sneezing routine–most of the time.
Hey, Marina, what do they have to eat for Thanksgiving in Russia?
Is there any way to put the latest post first in the forum? It would really be more convenient to be able to see the newest stuff right up front.
hi! I wanna know where the word [detergent] comes from?
Hi CK,
What you are really asking is, can the latest post be placed on page 1, where currently, the latest post is on the last page.
I’ve thought about that, but I don’t favor it. I like it the way it is. The last page number is very easy to find in the Topic index, and lets me see the latest post. Since the posts are not threaded, it is much easier to go down the page of posts in chronological order.
If the posts are reversed, then, it is a pain to follow one post to the next in chronological order. Try it. What happens is that I have to read the posts from the bottom up. That means I have to scroll up to the next post, then scroll down to read it, then scroll back up to the earlier post, and then scroll down to read that one, which gets very tiring.
I like the way it is currently setup.
:grin: Hi: in Russia “Thanks giving is every day and not like some indigenous up-rising”…ex-President Hoover took care of staving in Russia so eating was allowed again :lol: :idea: …speCial guilt given back to GODbLess…..haves*verses*have-nots….http://www.hotforwords.com/2008/12/21/handkerchief/
