nd
thanks you very much……….
Poptropica
Happy Birthday, Marina!
I would like to request the word [gibberish].
I would like to request the phrase [yattering and yammering]. It is not frequently used but people who do so are usually speaking gibberish, so it is a complimentary phrase for the above requested word.
Again, Happy 29th Birthday!
It’s sad that our Lady is so easily led astray into the pervy gaiety of lexidaisical homophones, but there’s no shame that a little dragon-slaying (to save the birthday-girl) can’t cure!
I noticed that you didn’t have a video about the origin of the word “word” I think that video will be quite interesting =]
Request: Is “[Aren't] you coming tonight?” grammatically correct? If you say “Are not you…,” it doesn’t sound right, but if you say “Are you not…,” it does. So, I think that the contraction is skipping over the word “you” in this case. Why does English do that?
H A P P Y B I R T H D A Y M A R I N A !!!
Wishing you the best birthday ever and may
all of your wishes and dreams come true.
With greatest admiration and love,
XOXOXO

This video is hilarious! :razz: Love the irony very attractive… I have to share this video with my Grandpa now to let him know I’m indestructible! lol! Best wishes to a WONDERFUL Teacher on her birthday may GOD grant her graces. ;-)
Hi Marina. I have a request for the origin of two words. The first word is [caricature] and the second word is [chess]. As part of my art career I draw caricatures. And I play blitz chess on the web from time to time. Grazie, e ciao….

I would like to request the word [lascivious]. :smile:

Where does the word [kitty-corner] come from?
Might be interesting!
quatre (catre) + corner –> [cater-corner] –> [catty-corner] –> [kitty-corner] ?
If such a process had happened, it would be a great example how folk etymology itself can generate a new word.

***Marina’s birthday is tomorrow!*** (She’ll be 29!)
M, what shall we get for you? :grin:
29 is forever :smile: The word “unbreakable” has three morphemes: “un-”, a bound morpheme; “break”, a free morpheme; and “-able”, a bound morpheme. “un-” is also a prefix, “-able” is a suffix. Both “un-” and “-able” are affixes.
The morpheme plural-s has the morph “-s”, /s/, in cats (/kæts/), but “-es”, /ɨz/, in dishes (/dɪʃɨz/), and even the voiced “-s”, /z/, in dogs (/dÉ’gz/). “-s”. These are allomorphs.

I would like to request the word [ballyhoo] – thanks!
Hi
I would like to request the phrase [ Hit the hay]
I have always wondered why people say that when they are tired.
thanks :)
It’s from the days when the mattresses of the financially challanged were stuffed with straw (vs. feathers or more expensive fillings). Of course, if you slept in a barn or stable, the saying was literally true.
Dear Marina,
I have two words for you: [onomatopoeia] and [borborygmus]. The latter is an example of the former.

Funny, yet very interesting video.
I would like to request the word [Latin] out of pure curiosity. Thanks
From Latium, the Italian province in which Rome was located. Funny it’s not called “Roman.” :???:
Absolutely interesting. Thanks for letting us know all this origins while keeping us interested.
I would also like to request the origin of the word [Snob] which I’ve been wanting to know from a long time now.
Thanks Marina and keep up the good job!
Great video! Love it! :razz: good job Marina!!
Voted for you at Mashable.com.
I would like to request the word [inglenook].
I am spending some quality time with my wife by the fireplace and would appreciate knowing a bit more about the etymology of this word.
Thank you!
And you read that off the label on the bottle?
Bottle? I thought it came in a box.
I would like to request the word [Ornithology].
It is the field I am studying to get a master’s degree in and they didn’t tell us the origin of the word it self.
From Greek ὄÏνιθος, ornithos, “bird”; and λόγος, logos, “knowledge”. Of course, it would be more fun to watch Marina do it. :grin:
GoDaddy Danica will be driving a JR Motorsports car (Earnhardt, Jr.’s team) on a limited schedule in the 2010 Nationwide Series season. I HEARD she would debut at Daytona. She remains under contract for the entire season with Andretti-Green in the Indycar series.

I am so curious about its origin!

@ pat haskette Re: Wild Man Fisher
What a great song. A classic. Everybody sing, C’mon let’s merry-go, merry-go, merry-go ’round… This song was on a used vinyl album I bought…when…1973? I think Zappa put it out,
with various artists on it. Tim Buckley sang a haunting song that I think most folks haven’t heard, I must have been blind.
Thank you, leonard, there’s a tune that’ll tie a knot in your [cravat] :razz:
[hoodies]….[][][]HOOD[][][]…hackle
O.E. hacele “cloak, mantle” (cf. O.H.G. hachul, Goth. hakuls “cloak;” O.N. hekla “hooded frock”). Sense of “bird plumage” is first recorded 1496, though this may be from unrelated M.E. hackle “flax comb” (see heckle) on supposed resemblance of comb to ruffled feathers. Metaphoric extension found in raise one’s hackles (as a cock does when angry) is first recorded 1881.…thanks…from MARINA’s Hood… ;-)

Well sweetheart, how about the Bible word [JUDAS]? IN the Bible there was the bad Judas who betrayed Jesus Christ with a kiss. But there was also a good Judas-Judas Macccabees, in I Maccabees and 2 Macabees who led an insurrection against the pagan Greek armies.of antiochus Epiphanes who was forcing the Jews to deny their faith. That is an inspiring story. I did see the movie DEFIANCE about the Polish Jews in WWII who went underground and lived in the woods to hide from Hitler and his exterminators. Maybe I will have to go underground to hide from my oppressors and persecutors.
Then there were the MacAbees, the Jewish clan of Scotland. :roll:
Again, Judas gets a bad rap. What would have happened if Judas did not turn over Jesus to the authorities? Besides, Jesus told him to do it. :roll:
Marina,
Have a Happy Birthday week!
Thanks, M., I responded to C.J. I am sorry for the inconvenience. :oops:

Marina….you are getting sleepy…very sleepy….your eyelids are getting heavy, very heavy, you are falling into a trance. You cannot resist but answer my question: Where does the word hypnosis come from? Does it have to do with a hypodermic needle like for truth serum or something? Thanks. : )
would like to request the word [cameltoe] with sexy video..lol
Here you go … but be warned that this is just fools-gold and fools-knowledge: http://bit.ly/5aEOiz To be completely educational in teaching the word “cameltoe”, one would have to explain why it is fools-gold and fools-knowledge. Based on what Marina said at an interview in New York (perhaps during her last visit) and based on her other work, I suspect she would agree that “cameltoe” is fools-gold and fools-knowledge. What I do not know is if she would do a lesson on “cameltoe” that includes an indication of why it is fools-gold and fools-knowledge; and I do not know if it would be feminine and appropriate for her to do a lesson that indicates why “cameltoe” is fools-gold and fools-knowledge. Then again, perhaps based on the nature of how the indication is done, it could be feminine and appropriate — but I don’t really know.
Being stuck with the library’s PCs for now, Google Earth’s app is not allowed to be downloaded because of it’s need for administator privilages. However the GE plug in-for IE (which is on the library PCs) allows you to use any Webpage that has the plug-in embeded in it. So you have to find the best page someone has cooked up. http://www.barnabu.co.uk is good.
Hi CK,
I saw your post over on the Forum regarding when you do a reply, it bounces you back to the top. Since I am replying to you here, I can check it to see if it does it for me.
Edit1:
CK, when I submitted my reply, my text box aligned itself with the top of the browser perfectly where I could read my reply. I did not go to the top of the blog. I am using FireFox 3.5
Let me know what browser you are using. MSIE still has lots of bugs or there are many things IE does not comply with.
Edit 2:
I am still here. I did not bounce to the top of the blog.
Edit 3:
I am still here, did not get bounced to the top. Everything is working fine.
It’s some version of IE, but I can’t tell which, because the library has things pretty well locked down. There are no tabs (but I don’t know if IE7 can have tabs disabled). In any case, it doesn’t matter, because I can’t do anything about it.
It would make it a lot easier for me to scroll down to where I was if I could read the blasted comment numbering. Can you have the contrast jacked up a bit on this? Thanks.
Hi CK,
Marina is in NYC and I’ll let her know to increase the contrast.
In the meanwhile, just do a CTRL-F for page find and enter part of your name, something like “pkohl” or whatever. If you have other posts above it, just do the find again until you get to your reply.
Is it possible for you to install FireFox? I haven’t used IE in ages except in very rare cases.
Also, as I mentioned in a previous
post, you can use CTRL-A ( select all)
on the page which will invert the page
colors which will let you see the
comment numbers until the contrast is increased.
I forgot about Ctrl-A, too. Good idea for a workaround!
As far as installing anything, it is no go. There are only four people in the county library IT dept. and they don’t want anyone messin’ ’round.
As a permanent fix, increasing the contrast will allow newbies to even realize that there is numbering, so I think it is worth the time to do it.
I would like to know why [nonfiction] is called what it is. Should not it have it’s own word to define it rather than using what it is not?
Thanks if you do look it up :)
You could just assume that nearly all writing is about real life and that only those writing made-up material are creating fiction. But if you insist, what word would you use?

Radio Pyongyang in 1992 had sent me some paperback book called THE SEA OF BLODD OPERA. I did not read it carefully. Was it about how North Korea ran Mac Arthur out of their country or was it their communist revolution? My hands started to tingle for some reason. I was sorta scared like little bugs crawling all over my hands. Weird.. Maybe I was not supposed to read it well. Tae Don mountain?

Hi, cutie!
Can you tell me the origin of the word [tired]? Does it have anything to do with the tires of a car? Interestingly, there is a German slang word for “tired” (“geraedert”) which translates directly into “wheeled” (Rad=wheel), and which we typically use if you are tired after a long day of work or after a workout. I also know of a medieval torturing method where people are tied to a large wheel, and… you don’t want to know – maybe this is how you feel when you are tired.
Bye-bye, my teacher – Be good! ;-)
I wonder if James ever feels “tyred?” :lol:
I just came across this great article written by Benjamin Slade, aka be_slayed, a postgraduate student in linguistics (ABD) and lecturer at the University of Illinois.
Hot for Words: On titillating etymologies and pop philology (with some remarks on Beowulf movies and sex thrown in for good measure)

by be_slayed
That’s great! This is the first (as far as I know) objective review of HFW written by a professional linguist specializing in the field of etymology.
I 100% agree! The videos are not university lectures – and that’s nothing bad, the aim is simply different. But they can light the fuse, for example thanks to them I recovered my old interest in linguistics (also in the fields far from etymology). I experienced a small flashback, and linguistics, which seemed to have been definitely buried in my life, started being fascinating to me again, so the influence of HFW on me was quite good!
Thank you for your great comment fglrx.
You are absolutely correct. Many of the commentary about Marina is done by people that have barely looked at her videos and really don’t know Marnia’s passion for words.
I left a comment on that site, I don’t know if you got a chance to read that.
I am an interested student of linguistics and I didn’t realize how broad and deep the field goes along with the history and specifically word origins in which I have had an interest for some time.
An important point that the author stated is that Marina’s lesson are a gateway to introduce this field to someone who may never have considered it, which is a good thing. There are many, many things about Marina’s videos and this site that have made an impact on me and others in more way than just learning about words.
thanks .k. :razz: …….. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redneck_(stereotype) ;-)
In the Dictionary of American Regional English, the earliest citation of the term in this context is from 1830, as “a name bestowed upon the Presbyterians of Fayetteville [North Carolina]“. A citation from 1893 provides a definition as “poorer inhabitants of the rural districts…men who work in the field, as a matter of course, generally have their skin burned red by the sun, and especially is this true of the back of their necks”.

My favorite rock is salt because it is the only rock humans eat!
Some humans have got to eat Lithium.
There are many elements that animals must have in their diet—some in only trace amounts and are toxic in any greater amount—that would not be classified as rocks, because they aren’t picked up off the ground and gnawed on.
I was kind of thinking of lithium salt in response to Skyhookbel. My source of information was this video on lithium. I’ve never gnawed but I’ve licked! http://www.youtube.com/user/DOCTOROFMINDMD#p/u/530/zF9Lc-a_lGo

When M wears the hat with the earflaps, I always think of Floyd R. Turbo, Johnny Carson’s hick character.

“This station wants no draft. They want to deprive a boy of the Army. The Army is educational. The Army teaches you how to do dental work with the butt of a rifle….how to tell what time it is by making a sundial out of a dead person…how to make beer out of bird droppings and also how to make a rubber girl out of an inner tube…In conclusion, I say we should not end the draft. We should increase it. We have a moral obligation to give Bob Hope soldiers to entertain. Fellow Americans, it is an honor to be drafted and to serve your country. Thank you, bye-bye, and buy bonds.

Since it is close to Marina’s birthday, here’s a quote on the supreme value of one’s life. These are the words of Irina, a young girl who has been sentenced to imprisonment in Siberia (by the Communist government) and knows that she will never return:
Irina is a minor character in Ayn Rand’s novel We The Living.
It seems that no matter how we look at life, there is a onion layer to be peeled away to reveal a new layer. Is it possible to look at life, to live life without illusion? We can’t be all knowing, but can a human being understand his or her motivations…including what motivations have roots in the subconscious?
1) Regarding “Is it possible to look at life, to live life without illusion?”. Short answer: Yes. Some fundamental points: Plato was the first to systematically introduce the erroneous idea that there are multiple realities. He taught that there is a the world that we perceive and an ideal world; but he did say that it is possible to know the ideal world by non-sensory, mystical means (“insight”, “revaluation” etc.). Kant accepted Plato’s dual realities — but said that the real reality can never be known.
Both those views are wrong. Aristotle was the first to say that there is only one reality, the reality of concretes that we perceive, the reality we can know by our senses and by reasoning. As far as each individual is concerned, he is born, he lives, and he dies — there is nothing before he is born, and there is nothing after he dies; while he is alive, there is this world that he can know and deal with.
2) Regarding “We can’t be all knowing,” Yes, and that is fine. One has to know what one knows, one must live and act within the context of one’s knowledge, and one must keep expanding one’s knowledge. That’s all; and doing so would be perfection.
3) Regarding “but can a human being understand his or her motivations…including what motivations have roots in the subconscious?”. Yes, he can. One is born “tabula rasa” — the mind is blank at birth, one is not born with any “innate-ideas” or whatever from some “previous life” or wherever. Everything in one’s mind is what one put into it as one grew up. The subconscious is just that part of one’s mind that one is not consciously aware of at that time; by paying attention to it, one can bring its contents into conscious awareness and examine it. Incidentally, it is good that you used the word “subconscious-mind” rather than “unconscious-mind” since “unconscious” has connotations that the material therein is of mystical origin not amenable to one’s conscious mind.
The preceding are some fundamental ideas — if you are curious to see how such ideas play out in day-to-day living (as apposed to mere academic blah-blah discussion), I recommend the collection of essays Philosophy Who Needs It? (available on Kindle too). The title essay is actually a speech given to the graduating class of the United States Military Academy at West Point on March 6, 1974.

Writing [supreme] the word, makes me think of choosen people. Even eating a “supreme” burrito; has me to wonder my taste for for what is the opposite. Good grades and high pay are the same to our “[supreme]” societal-government of that verses “communism”. The supreme debaters are law people and money are dictators for work and an economy is made by creating more (economic-activities): slavery, prisons courts, and culture-apartheidisms. :lol: Bottom Line–-Hs4Mm: Happy birth-day 2 you and Marina…find what is good in life and hope-fully, the enviroment treats you ‘Supreme’. :smile:
In “supreme value”, “supreme” is qualifying “value” and not “life”. The wording is not: …
here’s a quote on the value of the supreme one’s life.… One’s life is one’s top/supreme value: true for all good people. Thanks for the good wishes. I wish you well too.Word request: unrequited. – and why does one never hear of something being “requited”?

I’m geeking out on some Radio Teletype software that I was thinking of using on a yacht delivery. Why? It’s so I can have computers onboard transcribing weather information so I don’t have to sit next to the radio for hours writing notes all day long. That sucks!
So as I reading, I discovered where hell came from. j/k
Hellschreiber (HELL)
Hellschreiber is a method of sending text by radio. Each character is sent as an image, pixel by pixel. It was invented in 1929 by Dr. Rudolf Hell, of Bavaria, Germany.
Why am I telling you this? Well I’m sitting at the dock waiting for some guy to repair broken water pipes on this guys yacht. I think his feet were a tad bit wet when he entered his yacht. Apparently he turned off the heater to save electricity but he never thought of freezing weather, nor to drain the water out of his pipes before leaving the yacht unattended for such a long time. All he need to do was to leave the heat on super low and it would have prevented the problem. He would have paid $30 bucks in electricity vs $900+ for the repair man.
Now we missed the weather window and have to wait until Thursday.
Morale of the story. Think things though before you try your fantastic new idea. Their might be a reason why no one is doing your idea.
Just out of curiosity, what level of TTY code is used for these broadcasts? Isn’t this kind of info available via the Web?
I read about the Hellscreiber decades ago in a magazine article, but have never seen the hardware. Basically it sent a fax of each letter. Naturally, if a pixel or two (or twenty) got corrupted, it wouldn’t effect the readabiltiy of the character, so it was extremely tolerant to the noise and distortions of radio and that was its advantage; it traded speed for reliability.
RTTY, aka SITOR B is used quite a bit. But it’s not used very much for you landlubbers. One must think out of the box of living in a city. You see out in the ocean there are no Applebees, McDonnald’s, AM-PM, Safeways, etc out there. I’m sure as heck not going to drag a cable modem way out there to get the web. I’m so happy the web and cellphones were invented. Now the air waves are much less crowded than before.
SITOR B is used for our weather information, notice to mariners, and other things. We also can pull off HF weather faxes. Basically all communications is done with a radio of some sort. Including satellites, but they are very expensive to use.
I don’t know if anyone is using a Hellscreiber today. What was great about it, is they commonly repeated the message so if the last sentence got messed up the next copy would be much better. Many times you would jump up and down just to read the sentence. It was a great idea.
Precious gems may be distinguished in class by hardness of the stone, lustre, wearability, etc. whereas semi precious stones are usually considered easier to obtain and tend to be lower on the Mohs’s scale of hardness. Gem stones rock! ~ diamond, opal, lapis-lazuli, ruby, sapphire, tourmaline, quartz, etc.

Googling “why do Canadians say eh?” will result in some funny hits, including T-Shirts and these videos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=beXoiVs92SY http://phenommark.xanga.com/videos/bb428263247/
The best answer I have come across is that it is a form of indicating that a question has been asked or that the statement is a rhetorical question.
Supposedly it is mostly the French Canadians who use “eh”, and so there is the theory that it is like the French “n’est-ce pas”. This link to French is the only (correct or erroneous) link to its origin.
There’s also a Lady GaGa video with Eh in its title — but this might be a different usage!
Marina, I know this is hardly a major thing, but that thing above the comment box that says “my book is out!” flashes once then again WAAAAAY too fast.
I have a shelf full of rocks. My favourite is probably bismuth but that is an element, so I would say next is an opal or a ceylon sapphire.
Of all the places in Massachusetts, the mineral was named after Cummington. It wasn’t Bostonite, Newtonite, Springfieldite, Chelmsfordite, Foxboroite, Capecodite, Worcesterite, or Nantucketite. Oh, well. ;-)
Of all the places in the world!: http://i48.tinypic.com/29v0311.jpg This is solid proof that there is a God — only HE could have engineered such a “coincidence”!
There’s more than one Cummington?
There is only one Cummington, but there are several places where cummingtonite could have been discovered. For example, supposedly the Kolar gold fields in India and Goongarrie in Australia contain them; — and if the devil existed it would have ended up being called gonorrheaite!
A win is a win, but last night’s Big 12 championship game was the ugliest, most disturbing game I’ve seen in awhile. If The Horns don’t play like they usually do in the national championship game, Bama’s going to hand them their jockstraps.
Beethoven’s Third Symphomy was called EROICA, that was suggestive to me. Or I QSL”d a small AM station from Slildell, Lousiana. SLIDELL souded suggestive to me. They never sent me a QSL card however. Sliding in and out over and over again-SLIDDELL!! Sexy name SLIDDELL.
I seem to have heard that Dr. Jim Gano at U of Toledo, an Organic chem prof like Juliian Davies, had invented the organic chemical Adamantane. He had a big $250,000 FT NMR Spectrometer in the basement of the chem department. I did better in Physical Chem and Inorganic chem as I was a C student in Organic chem. Dr. Larry go Grimes who I was his undergrad teaching assistant in his nursing chem lab where he was a TA-Larry got a job at Los Alamos nuclear labs around 1983. He worked for Dr. Jimmy G. Edwards who was doing research back then on the vapor pressures of Lanthium metal at high temperatures. Maybe that is related to Uranium Enrichment as the isotopes of Uranium are seperated in their gaseous form so said Dr. Fred Horne in his grad school Thermodynamics class I took and got a C. Aberdeen Proving Grounds chemical weapons lab semed to come to the UT Placment Office to recruit chemists and engineers and I got an interview wiht them in November 1983.
“where’s the nakedness” XD
man, dude, where the fuck?

Not about minerals, but who is the most powerful woman politician on earth?

Either her turbines are failing or there’s an escalation in the power race, requiring more and more power to keep up with the Janeses (sic).
Evan: A thought… Daily Dose Pick: Marina and the Diamonds
2:46 pm Tuesday Dec 8, 2009 by Doug Levy
Under the Marina and the Diamonds moniker, Welsh songstress Marina Diamandis brings quirk back to pop music in an epic way.
While skirting similar territory as fellow UK sensation Florence and the Machine, Marina emits a more playful persona — imbuing her own Kate Bush-isms with echoes of offbeat entertainers like Regina Spektor and Amanda Palmer.
To date, Marina and the Diamonds have released a handful of impressive singles and EPs, accompanied by equally impressive videos. The most recent single is the American pop-culture-skewering “Hollywood,” which sets the stage for Marina’s debut album, The Family Jewels, due in early 2010.
:lol: MARINA AND THE DIAMONDS | MOWGLI’S ROAD
:smile:
Quirky indeed!
She’s hardly the first Greco-Welsh, though; “Owen” was originally Greek. :smile:
So how’s your apatite? :???:
“APATITE (Calcium (Fluoro-, Chloro-, Hydroxyl-) Phosphate) An irony of the name apatite is that apatite is the mineral that makes up the teeth in all vertebrate animals as well as their bones.” :cool:
As the French say, “G a” (J’ai gran apetite.) :mrgreen:
J’ai grand appétit! :oops:
homework strike!
I have only one favourite stone – Einstein.
Odd — Einstein’s nemesis was known as one-stone Hitler. :lol:
***Homework***
Instead of boron me to tears, today’s homework is a golden opportunity for the sort of elemental observations that Bob and I periodically make, a lead-in to the following:
When opportunities knock, cesium quickly before they get away.
“Money is the root of all evil” is an antimony proverb.
If your possessions are more trouble than they’re worth, it’s best to get iridium.
Hm, Iron out of ideas quickly, and need to go zinc of some more! :mrgreen:
It figures — Bob’s new Twitter love interest is keeping him from playing ‘Pun My Word. :sad: Oh well, give my greetings to Miss Fizzy Duck. :razz:
Excellent, dude…heheh heh heheheh heh…
Marina said blue balls…heh heh (a town in Lancaster County, PA)!
When does she get naked? :razz:
You want to see Marina naked?
Here you are.
(¯`v´¯)
have this.
if that pic is not good enough, try to enhance it in photoshop. it works.
Cummingtonite looks like copper ore to me.
When I first saw the video, before I knew about the connection with MA, the picture of the homes in the beginning of the video (0:40 s) reminded me of homes in the MIT/Harvard area. So is that a picture of a street in Cummington, MA (or somewhere in MA)?
Oh yeah, my actual favorite rock is this. :grin:
Holiday Favorite
WOW YOU DO THIS WORD. but not soles?? COME ON MARINA!! FOR CHRISTMAS I WANT YOU TO DO THE WOD [SOLES] PLEASE!!! EVERONE HELP ME REQUEST IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Because you are the [sole] person asking about [soles]! BTW, do you like eating [sole]?
Now I see the 3 homonyms of “sole” are interesting to ask, coz the 2 nouns have the same origin (lat. solea) and the adjective has a different one (lat. solus).
nah i like licking soles not EATING them! :mrgreen:
I agree, Marina should do the word [soul] :mrgreen:
I’m sure it can’t be too far from [sole]
But, could be miles from Seoul?
One must have Seoul to be a Koreagrapher. :mrgreen:
Marina will only do it if it has an interesting origin.
Yeah I heard that from CJ too. You got to admit that ilikesexytime is very persistant with that request. :lol:
PLEASE GUYS HELP ME REQUEST IT. ILL BE THE HAPPIEST MAN ON EARTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SOLES ARE INTERESTING. SHE WILL SHOW YOUR HER SOLES!
Here you have a sole!
[Blow Job] just want to know why its referred to as blow when you don’t really blow at all… :???: and its not really a job either… lol
***LESS THAN FIVE DAYS UNTIL MARINA’S BIRTHDAY (10 DEC!)***

MARINA AND THE DIAMONDS | HOLLYWOOD …It is definitely a distinctive name that sticks out but I think Rock has been something I have largely had to overcome rather than being an advantage for me.

Nice job Rob!
That was pretty funny and an excellent lesson Marina ;-)
and the “beavis grunt” was a nice little touch too. :cool:
Homework: “arsole” which is obvious and some people like to explore
around there. ;-) :mrgreen:
And as far as for my favorite rock, I’ve always liked Obsidian (Volcanic Glass)
She did the bb grunt in Turkey too http://www.hotforwords.com/2009/12/01/turkey/comment-page-1/#comment-161064
Hmmm….I guess I can see where one could think of BB there, but it’s more apparent here.
You are funny. You remind me of my favorite female.
Marina: Where did the word Cunninglus come from? :smile: :smile: :smile:
Would you like an expert demonstration?
You might stand a better chance if you could spell it. :razz:
He can’t even spell his name!
It should be ‘Very Rank’.
{Rank. adj. = Conspicuously offensive.}
fantastic lesson love it ;-)
Excellent lesson thank you.
I always liked the names for the different types of lava:
Pahoehoe
and

Good thing they left their coats on…

Great Lesson! :grin:
Yep ;-)
Tim Curry has nothin’ on these guys.
He (probably) has something these guys don’t…
Regarding that comment about turkey being French bird: I think the author is a fool who really meant what he wrote and isn’t some smart guy trying to be funny. A smart person could have made a joke along those lines since there actually is some basis, albeit an erroneous basis, for the idea that Greeks call the turkey-bird French-bird. The Greek word for the turkey-bird is galopoula. And Frenchman is gallos, bird is pouli with feminine form poula. But supposedly this break-up of “galopoula” into “‘gallos’ + ‘poula’” is an erroneous analysis — although the spellings look similar, the pronunciations and origins are different! The original Greek name for the turkey-bird was “indike ornitha” (or Indian-bird); and I think the “galo” in “galopoula” is Greek onomatopoeia for “gobble”. To sum up my thinking, in Greek, “galopoula” is, not “Frenchman-bird” but “gobble-bird”, onomatopoeic for turkey-bird.
This word I don’t need!
Here’s the message I used for the retweet:
Dear Marina,
What a video on such seemingly shocking words! You look beautiful, even wearing a khaki overcoat and a white cap. I also enjoy your low-cdut dresses but I like to see you keep warm during the winters. It must be nice to sleep with you because a Russian girl will press herself close in order to keep me warm. :razz:
My favorite mineral is silver, because gold is very expensive, now. Silver is beautiful, doesn’t tarnish, and silver protects you from vampires, werewolves and other horrors. :shock:
My favorite rock is Jade. The Chinese consider it lucky, and you can rub jade to make it feel smooth and warm. :grin:
I mailed my birthday card to you last week, and I hope it will arrive by Monday so that it will be forwarded to you on time! When you read the card, I hope you will be filled with warmth and happiness for your birthday! :razz:
Seesixcm6
Seesixm6,
Thank you SOOO much for the wonderful birthday card! It was sooooo sweet!!! :-)
Dear Marina,
I’m thrilled that you got my card, and that you mentioned it. I’m glad it made you happy and you thought it was sweet! :razz:

you are crazy
leave this shit for yourself
You are missing many bits out inbetween! Thats mostly suffixes.
look at all the ll’s and yl’s it’s like a welsh word on crack.
A friend told me that she thought that lately everybody seems to have ASS on the brain.
And she was right in more ways than one…
ASS is the abbreviation for Argininosuccinate Synthetase, which is a chemical found in the brain.
Lack of ASS may cause lethargy or mental retardation.
Well, the Tide rolled. Now The Horns gotta get it done. It’s show time.
HOOK ‘EM!!!
Abbreviations are important in chemistry, because that’s how most elements get their names.
The official abbreviation for Sodium Ethyl Xanthate, is SEX. And it’s a flotation agent used in the mining industry. It can be found in solid or liquid form, giggidy!
NICNAS (National Industrial Chemicals Notification and Assessment) evaluates the symptoms of over-exposure to SEX:
“Signs of high exposure are dizziness, tremors, difficulty breathing, blurred vision, headaches, vomiting and death. Can cause reproductive and nervous system damage.”
Marina, you are getting [risque] in your old age. The whole lesson is based on a pun? Hmmm…. The painting thing was nice, though. I have no talent in that area whatsoever, so watching a work of art develop and seeing where the artists decides to place his attention next is fascinating.
I like rocks and minerals that are peizo-electric, like quartz and barium titanate. At least you can do something with them, unlike ordinary rocks that just sit there.
I once touched a moon rock in the Smithsonian, but it wasn’t very thrilling. In fact, if it were not for the sign, one would never know it had come from the moon. For all I know, they could have been lying about it. Who’d know? To this day, I don’t like green cheese. :razz:
Oh man, this was such a sweet lesson!

Silly Chemikalz! :-)
Add one Carbon to Erotic acid and it becomes Homo-Erotic acid :mrgreen:
Is that what is meant by ‘lowering your carbon footprint’? :roll:
Is there like on an official Carbon footprint meter?
Hi Marina, would you like to explain the origin of word “caporegime”(A position in mafia, under the underboss and “consigliere”)? The word “consigliere” was popularized by Mario Puzo’s novel The Godfather, and everybody knows the origin. But “caporegime” was not. So please create a lesson for this word, thank you :razz:
Hey nice video Marisa, it was funny …. i´d like to know where the expression [DJ] (disc jockey) comes from what does jockey has to be with playing music????
A jockey “operates” a horse. A disk jockey operates (originally) a record player (and now) a CD/tape player.
Does he ride it?
That’s a good question. WLIU, I don’t know that jockying requires something to be ridden.
That cummingtonite rock looks crusting for some reason. :mrgreen:
Homework: I really love geodes, and I’d like find a place where I can score a bunch of some soap stone. My grandpa was a rock hound, and my favorite of his rocks are Apache Tears.
My PC shut off or would not let me finish what i was saying. There are the semi precious stones of onyx, beryl, chrysolite, chrysoprase, emerald, jasper and carnelion in the walls of the New Jerusalem up in heaven in the book of revelation. But I would like to be CUMMING TONITE into you!!! i BOUGHT SOMETHING SMALL FOR ME MADE OF BLACK ONYX, REAL SHARP I THINK.
Best video yet; excellent actressing.
awesome… :lol: /rockNrow
my favourite are: commic acid, fucokinase that is often shortened to “fuc-K” and you already mentioned erotic acid. chemistry can be fun sometimes.
The two characters doing commentary are so silly.
You a comedian now? :lol:
“Good evening, ladies and Germans.”
She’s a regular Einsteinium. :roll:
Here’s an odd thing about costumes and voice: The voice of the character in the creamy jacket (the “used car salesman”) is masculine (gruffer?) and the voice of the character in the olive green jacket is feminine. The cap worn by the Cream is biggish and masculine; the cap worn by Olive is smallish. The ear flaps of Cream’s hat give Cream’s face a masculine slant; the exposed face and neckline of Olive give Olive’s face a feminine slant.
Event though Cream’s chest appears smaller and one can see an outline of breasts, and even though Olive appears to have broader shoulders and a bigger, flatter chest, because of the facts in the first para, I get the impression that Cream is with his girlfriend Olive (with Olive appearing like a petite girl wearing her boyfriend’s jacket)!
But as per your YouTube pop-up message box, you intended both to be “dudes”! I can see Cream as a man but it is really hard for me to see Olive as a man!
My favorite kind of stone is the one I use to get [stoned].
My favorite kind of stone is also the stone I used before to get stoned. Some times you have got to find the right stone to get stoned but right or wrong stone…you’ll probably get stoned. My eyes are red from rubbing them withhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catlinite Catlinite.
Hey nice video Marisa, it was funny :)…. i´d like to know where the expression DJ (disc jockey) comes from what does jockey has to be with playing music????
Homework (favorite rock): I am a man … my favorite rock is mine itself.
Every kind of rock can be melted with a thermal lance.
Notice the protective equipment used by the operators (rabbit’s foot in the pocket of the guy at the right :roll: ). For steel, consider oxy-gasoline, a relatively new (and way-cheaper than acetylene) system, this testimonial from China.
We can use also some bacon or a cucumber :mrgreen:
Anything that burns readily could be used, I suppose. For example, NASA once used three astronauts in a capsule full of oxygen.* I note that the steel being cut is what, in the scrap metal business, would be called tin. That is, it is so thin that it is not so much being cut as melted. To cut, say 1/2″-thick steel, you could feed an army on the toasted prosciutto and cucumber sandwiches it would take to just get the steel warm.
To cut metal, you have to get it hot enough so that it will catch on fire in the oxygen. Then the steel itself becomes the fuel and you have no need of any other fuel.
———
*You would have thought they would have considered this.
or a jetliner full of fuel :oops:
Pshaw! That and the oxy-gasoline pointed out by CampKohler are freezing compared to my heat. The state of my rock is governed solely by my wishes.
:smile:
Hey, everyone, don’t take HotForWords for Granite now

That’s so clever it shamed me into giving up at a come-back.
That’s actually a pretty good come back.
spelling, sorry… come-back
Is that what they mean by Toxic Waist?
cool painted! and why we believe russikh estimate only enter numbers from 1 up to 5 and at Sun letters? :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
Rob, you have a wonderful talent.
Marina, that was a brilliantly done video. Loved every bit of it.
Your hair in the intro looked glorious and I loved the pigtails.
It added that extra touch to the lecture.
Loved your Beavis grunt. You are too much.
Ohhhh those YT comments, those were hilarious.
What a great video.
Oooohhh, Marina, you’re such a blast! Fantastic lesson!
When I was doing a little motorcycle road racing for fun, we referred to the trick factory parts & pieces the manufacturers would not sell to privateers at ANY price as “UNOBTANIUM”.
Thanks for the hilarious lesson.
In light of my weird youtube message http://twitpic.com/saig3
[shenanigans]
Marina says: “enough with your shenanigans, she’s out of here.” :mrgreen:
I don’t know if you’re talking about something else with Marina besides a word request because you commented on that segment saying “FAIL….I can’t see this” but I put the link here and if your comment has nothing to do with a word request, my mistake. ;-)
No, I meant it was fail because it wouldn’t play! :mrgreen:
I figured that out, I was thinking that maybe you might have forgotten about that segment. So did the vid eventually play?
I did! Imma try and watch it again now.
No, still giving me BS about being in the us..
If I had to choose it would be iron pyrite.
Atomically speaking, 26+2×16 = 79 fool’s. Sorry. Could’n resist to go beyond the borders of chemistry. :-)
‘Copper Nanotubes’, not a funny name in itself, but when abbreviated the chemical symbol for copper (Cu) is used and Nanotubes becomes NT, you end up with a rather unfortunate result. :oops:
see this Royal Society of Chemistry paper.

Great video Marina! This is what we like to see. ;-)
Oh and btw, you messed up on the Chemical formula and a few other things but who cares right?
Marina -
(Mg,Fe)7Si8O22(OH)2 <—<<<< Marina, you forgot the ’2′ on the end of the formula for hydroxyl. If I remember right, I mention this error before in your first post of this rock.
Marina,
We know about Sister Words and Gorby, but what are your 2 friends names? (Morina and Dube).
Wonderful opening, but I can’t spell it…
And who the heck is Boomer?

Marina!
I’m glad to see you are doing so well. Your videos just get better and better!
Hey – there is a whole community of secularists, freethinkers, agnostics, etc. that would love see a video by you of some or all of the following words:
[agnostic]
[atheist]
[secular]
[sectarian]
[religion]
I know I’ve asked before, but I thought I would try again.
Keep up the good work!
You like the new/old format. She decided to step away from what Youtube told her to do and when back to doing what her students requested.
Marketing rule number #5. Sell what the customers need, not what corporate wants.
Oh, and one more important thing Prospero, Welcome back! :-)
Thanks – I always watch the new videos. I’ve just not really had much time to post.
If you handle dickite right, or combine it with fukalite and erotic acid, it will produce spermite or spermidine. I prefer clitoriacetal, which if stimulated properly can get you some vaginatin (which some say is the most pleasing of molecules).
Good one! :mrgreen:
And what will be produced with moronic acid + curious chloride?
My favorite rock is anthracite because it’s full of energy.
FIRST! I want to say, I laffffed my ass, or is arse off!!!.
That was soooooo funny.
Damn, Marina, stop doing that, how do you ever expect me to say what my favorite video is? I think it might be this one now. Ohhh, those 500+ choices.
Third! Wow, purely by chance.
