    Holy Kielbasa Dear Teacher.

    It’s your birthday and it is us who get the present.

    How’s the white stuff at your end of NY?

    It should be socially acceptable to curse at the white stuff.
    Especuially when it reaches up and takes the steering wheel right away from you.

    Homework: WTHWhat The Heck :!:
    My sympathies are almost always with Mark Twain, except I would give up swear words to get into heaven if I knew Marina was up there. Swear words are tools to be used in the right set and setting. You don’t want to swear in front of the kids or gramma. And curb your maggot mouth while in church, or talking to the authorities, because somehow it’s considered disrespectful, and therefore a challenge to their authority. If you curse in court
    (it does happen), the judge will definitely have the [bailiff] whack your pee pee. Which brings up that certain sweetness in swearing, it’s instant rebelliousness, and an easy way to get a rise out of the stuffed shirt-types. But then, so is farting in an elevator. Farting and cursing have much in common, and doing them too often has unwanted results. Scientists have studied swearing:

    Their study involved 64 volunteers who were each asked
    to put their hand in a tub of ice water for as long as
    possible while repeating a swear word of their choice. They then repeated the experiment using a more commonplace
    word that they would use to describe a table. The
    researchers found the volunteers were able to keep their
    hands in the ice water for a longer when swearing,
    establishing a link between swearing and an increase
    in pain tolerance.

    HOMEWORK:

    My favorite cuss word is of course the f-word. It’s quite plain, but some people can use it with a great mastery, like Eminem: I have no f*cking clue what the f*ck I’m doing. When I can’t use it, I like substituting it with a foreign similar sounding words like German ficken or Dutch fokken.

    My favorite insulting profanity word is NIGGERFAGGOT (but only at a theoretical level, not in use, because I’m not a racist nor homophobe), due to its beautiful inner rhythm. :oops: I hope I haven’t offended anybody, as I wrote, I never use that word.

    In general, I always try to never offend anybody, but, of course, sometimes I can’t stand some situations and I explode with a bunch of dirty phrases, insulting the third party people (not my interlocutor, it never happens).

    In Polish, we have a word kurwa (pronounced: koorvah), meaning a whore as a noun (“Ty jebana kurwo” = “You f*cking whore”) noun and something like “the f*ck” as an interjection (“Co to, kurwa, jest?” = “What the f*ck is it?”). That’s the most recognizable Polish word in the world! But I don’t like it, although sometime use it when I’m trembling with rage.

    The longest period without cussing (and without many more bad things) in my life lasted about 2 years, when I was trying to be a good Christian, but I finally failed. :oops:

  • pig-in-a-poke

    She has wings of an angel
    and lips that are pursed.
    From them you’ll hear nary a curse.
    Her eyes so innocent with a tempting stare,
    while her fingers twist and turn her hair.
    Bountiful beauties, temples holy and unholy
    where many thoughts do dwell,
    will lead you to Heaven, then straight to Hell.
    Line up boys, have you been naughty or nice?
    Sister Marina will judge thee

    Well, it’s her video and she can do WTF she wants always; she isn’t forcing anyone to look; and I ain’t complaining, just responding.

    Anyway, if I were the cussing type and had somewhat of the usual view on the blow job, I might say: the B____ should s___ it (it being mine) for punishment. But I am not the cussing type, and my take on the blow job is radically different from the popular view; so I won’t say it.

  • Greatest Potential

    I don’t really have a favorite cuss word since my parents raised me in a manner where I was told it was rude to cuss and more mannerly and proper to be respectful when speaking to others and to not swear in public or in private settings where it may not be deemed as appropriate behaviour. So when I swear I try to do it somewhere private like outdoors in a wooded clearing where I can scream out loud and no one else will hear me. Sometimes I yell out “MUTHAFORKER!” as a form of jokingly cussing.

    Dear Marina,
    Because I was in the Army, I learned so many different curse words, I wondered if I ever would stop cursing. I also learned bad words in many foreign languages, German, Spanish French, Korean, Japanese, Chinese, and yes, even some Russian curse words. So, I can go for many weeks without using curse words in American English. (The British use a different set of swear words.)
    I don’t want to use bad words in a post to you, particularly on your birthday! :smile:
    I like that you put yourself in such nice cars in your videos. It surprised me to see you in a Nun’s habit, though! You’re so beautiful, the bouncers probably let you into every club in LA! (I, on the other hand, don’t look rich enough to be allowed in!) :cool:
    In the Signal Corps, it’s an offense to use curse words while broadcasting. A co-anchor once caused uncontrollable laughter in me when he accidentally spilled hot coffee on himself, then yelled, “MY, HOW UNFORTUNATE!” He cleaned off the coffee and resumed broadcasting faster than I could regain control of my laughing! :mrgreen:
    I hope your birthday was wonderful, and you get enough rest after celebrating, and have a safe trip home to California! :razz:

    A total lunar eclipse will take place on December 10, 2011. It will be the second of two total lunar eclipses in 2011, the first occurring on June 15.–http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_year :smile: and on about MARCH 10…[conception]-A lunar calendar is a calendar that is based on cycles of the moon phase. The only widely used purely lunar calendar is the Islamic calendar or Hijri calendar, whose year always consists of 12 lunar months. A feature of a purely lunar year, on the Islamic calendar model, is that the calendar ceases to be linked to the seasons, and drifts each year by 11 days (or 12 days in case of leap year), and comes back to the position it had in relation to the solar year approximately every 33 Islamic years. It is used predominantly for religious purposes. In Saudi Arabia it is also used for commercial purposes.

    Most lunar calendars, except the Hijri, are in fact lunisolar calendars. That is, months are kept on a lunar cycle, but then intercalary months are added to bring the lunar cycles into synchronisation with the solar year.

    Because there are about twelve lunations (synodic months) in a solar year, this period (354.37 days) is sometimes referred to as a lunar year.

    One time…back; fglrx, you mention the derogatory sense of the “Pole” Polack
    Definition: 1. usually disparaging: a Pole or person of Polish extraction

    (from 20th Century)

    2. (Mainly Jewish) a Jew whose family comes from Poland

    3. a Pole, Russian, Czech dealing in Polish Jewesses: white

    slavers’ cant from 20th century.

    4. an immigrant from Poland

    from the same link

    :cool:

    :cool: I enjoy your comments :cool:

    Etymology:

    The word comes from Polish word “Polak” which means ‘a Pole.’ It came to English language probably directly from French “Polaque<Polish Polack" or from German "Polack< a Pole." Most probably American usage was influenced by German example. The first notation in the Oxford English Dictionary comes from a letter by Sir Philip Sidney from November 27, 1574. Shakespeare used it in "Hamlet" (" You from the Polack wars, and you from England, Are here arrived" – V. ii. 1601-02). In the mid-seventeenth century the modern polite form, a Pole, started to be used, as noted by OED in1656. Americans have used the word Polack insultingly since the end of the nineteenth century (1898). The remaining of the word as an insult is parallel to the use of the old but nonstandard Injun for Indian and Nigger for Negro. :cool: Angela’s [[Tourette's Tics]]]…what does alax

    Yeah I use the F-word and I have no substitution for it. I guess it would have to be in a very, very “formal” setting where I would have to refrain. I think profanity can be therapeutic though and I agree with most points on this report.

    Wow, an 8+ min video lesson. I actually enjoyed all of the quotes at the end. I was mesmerized by them. Thank you soooo much for putting those in there and fading in the author’s name. That was way cool. I enjoyed that video a lot and I liked the way it was put together.

    A favorite quasi profane word is fudge and fudgsicle. I learned that word in most of the HotForWords bloopers. Yeah, I can read lips. (he he LOL)

    I’m much more circumspect online that in real life when it comes to profanity. I know that others have said that also. A favorite word used to be faakin-A not to be confused with the Canadian version of faaken-Eh?

    I loved the angel scene. There was something very endearing and elusive about that scene. Loved it.

    Hello Marina very good video on profanity!I use it more than I should I must confess.I laughed so hard when you kept punching out that black guy who keeps saying I’am let you finish!Also when you had those angel wings on and started swearing what a riot!Again teacher Happy Birth Day! See you later,and thank you for all that you have done and will do for us I’am very greatful for that!Peace :!: :smile:

  • doncross2bear

    I used to be a foul mouthed guy, but I have pretty much cleaned that act up. I never swear in front of a lady (unless she starts it), and I never get blasphemous, but once in a while when hammer meets finger or what have you, a vulgarity may slip out. Usually the omnibus word, the volks-expletive, the redoubtable f-word. Never use it to describe lovemaking; too vulgar. Handy for pain and anger management, ‘tho. To replace “bad words” I find it fun to use old and/or technical terminology of the same definition, i.e. “up your fundament, sir.” Also expletives of W.C. Fields and Dirty Duck (old comic strip by Bobby London) raise an eyebrow. You have to explain yourself sometimes, but hey, that’s education, right? I can go for weeks on end without getting too colorful with the lingo, ‘tho. Great vid, Teach. Hope you had a terrific Birthday. xoxo dc

    Hearing about your encounter with profanity on your birthday made me realize why I don’t like driving in the rain in LA, or Floida etc.

    Outrageous outbursts like those have caused me to become more reclusive for years. I say I live a monastic life style, however today a new word came to mind this word is [misanthropic].

    If I was philanthropic I could pay people to speak kind words to each other. Those who use bad words don’t get paid.

    What do you know about misanthropics and should they be allowed to drive?

    Hello kcarnaro,
    Welcome to the HotForWords site. Have fun exploring the site as there is lots to see. The link in the upper left called All Words is your gateway into the video lessons and lots more.

    Part of that long word is the word “sesquipedalian” which is a word that Marina did do a lesson about and it is located here.
    http://www.hotforwords.com/2007/11/30/sesqui-wha/

    When you watch that video, look carefully at the screen at the 5 second mark and you’ll see your word on the screen. The word “hippopot…” is just an extension of the word sesquipedalian in order to make it a longer word.

Jack ass, dumb ass, stupid ass, ass hole, pink monkey’s ass, I don’t give a rat’s ass, ass wipe, ass head, ass monkey, assume(make an ASS out of U and Me), etc. To soften it up one could respond to a question with “Oh myyassz” camouflaging Oh, my ass for Oh my,yes.

    Wisconsin takes pride with The Parker Pen Company is a manufacturer of pens, founded in 1888[1] by George Safford Parker in Janesville, Wisconsin, United States. :lol: …In 1894 Parker received a patent on his “Lucky Curve” feed,[1] which was claimed to draw excess ink back into the pen body when the pen was not in use. The Lucky Curve feed was used in various forms until 1928.

    From the 1920s to the 1960s, before the development of the ballpoint pen, Parker was either number one or number two in worldwide writing instrument sales.[citation needed] In 1931 Parker created [ :P Quink] “quick drying ink” which eliminated the need for blotting and led to the development of the most widely used model of fountain pen in history (over $400 million worth of sales in its 30 year history) the Parker 51

    Well, a few months ago I recall (how will I ever forget?) saying a profound word to someone I care for with all my heart. Awful moment which sticks with you regardless. If premeditated then is shocking, insulting, tactless and abusive. If, say a reaction involving confusion and emotions then maybe, just maybe there is room for understanding. Rational. Reasonable. Mistakes happen!

    Those who say profound words often are indeed awful people, lacking in class or etiquette. These words used to replace articulation by people in expression and purpose are stupid. Delinquents. However, even the most educated have a tendency to do the same but not on a daily habitual common basis. Delights of human nature!
    So I have not said anything profound since the last time, as the last time I said such keeps stinging big time. Causing hurt unintentionally is shocking! So will never, ever, say anything like that to the one I love ever, again. Not good at all.

    Care, respect, manners, integrity, loyalty and love will silence all profanities! Even when sugar hic-cup moments occur, shadow dance humble, Earth tough and tumble chocked with mousse coming to her broke with out a doubt.

    Anyhoo, humble and hungry……

    I liked the cheap and base sound of the word and I thought I knew the definition, but forgot how or where I acquired it’s meaning. So, since you looked it up, and since the topic of your uTube clip varied with what I thought the meaning was, I looked it up at wiki. It had a rather stronger meaning than I thought it had.

    ***LossForWords presents another Fractured Philology Lesson:
    Decadent***

    There was an old Roman emperor who lived such a debauched life that all but ten of his teeth fell out. Thereafter, he was nicknamed “Deca Dent,” and the name passed down to us meaning “corrupt, debauched.”

    If it is true that the origin of “civilized” should be “barbarous”, then the origin of “decadent” should be “civilized”. Not everyone will agree with this, of course.

    Is Marina a [narcissist]?

    Yes, she is a big narcissist and she’s constantly cultivating her narcissism on TwitPic. She assumes strange poses like she was a famous Hollywood star and wants everyone to admire her perfect figure. Alas, her fanboys (who are nothing but nerds or total losers – just like me) easily catch the bait and getting devoted to her like she was the eighth wonder of the world. Her success comes from men’s blood and energy that she sucks out of them. Every kiss she sent to the camera was the kiss of death, a vicious marketing gimmick. She addicted a lot of men to herself and made them an army of slaves. She says, ‘Subscribe to my channel’, they’re subscribing, like zombies. She says, ‘Rate my video *****’, they’re rating, like zombies. She says, ‘Vote for me on Mashable”, they’re voting, like zombies. If she said, ‘Cut off your right index finger and send it to me to prove your admiration for me’, they would do it, like zombies, and they would think: ‘Our lady is so good for us, she could ask us for cutting the whole hand, but a small finger was enough to her’.

    Shouldn’t we be spending our HFW time on our studies, work, families

    If “time is money”, then we waste a lot of money here. We’ll be burning in hell through one millennium per every minute spent on HFW.

    Russian scientists say that Moscow stray dogs became much smarter. The four legged oldest human’s friends demonstrate real smartness such as riding the Moscow metro every morning to get from their suburban places of living to the fat regions of Moscow center. Once they arrive to the downtown they demonstrate different new, previously unseen for the dog skills.

    ___ I wish I had this job!___

    This is “Good Night Kids” TV-show, one of the most popular and the oldest kids tv-show in Russia, back since Soviet Times.

    It’s being conducted by a lady surrounded with two or three moving and speaking dolls.

    Since 2003 there is Miss Universe 2002 Oxana Fedorova works on constant basis.

    But less people and kids know how the show is being made. It stays so since its early time of Soviet television, still stays unchanged. On the photo below you can see how do they animate the dolls.

    ___ Russia’s Seven Wonders ___

    There are seven wonders of the world, but most of them were already destroyed either by the hands of humans or by the cruel passing of time. And last year a group of some Russian TV-channels, newspapers and radio stations hold an official opinion poll and discovered what kinds of real wonders Russia has. Anyone could participate in the poll taking votes via internet or SMS services. So, the seven best-looking and really fascinating places were chosen. Here they are:

    http://englishrussia.com/?p=5937

    * I’m amazed with the size of the “Mother Motherland monument”. Twice the side of the Statue of Liberty? 280 feet! Wow! I don’t think I have seen a human shaped monument that large in my life. I think I’ll have to put that on my bucket list.

    I’ve wanted to see the Saint Basil’s Cathedral. Seen it in many postcards. I bet it’s breath taking in person.

    “The Baikal Lake is situated in Eastern Siberia and considered to be the deepest lake in the world as well as the biggest freshwater tank on the Earth. It is 1500 meters deep (~5000 feet). ” ~~ Nice looking lake. Love seeing all the greet trees. That means Fresh Air!

    “Poles of the Komi Republic” ~~ The snow covered ones, remind me of a scene in Star Wars Empire Strikes Back.

    Hope you guys like the link. ;-)

    Odd syndromes:

    Pica syndrome
    ~Pica is a very strange and rare psychological disorder that causes an appetite for soil, coal, paper, or other traditionally non-food items.

    Werewolf Syndrome
    ~Hypertrichosis, or werewolf syndrome, is a medical condition that causes the excessive growth of body hair — typically on the upper body, including the face.

    Water Allergy
    ~Aquagenic pruritus is a skin disease characterized by the development of severe, intense, prickling-like epidermal itching that is without observable skin lesions and that is evoked by contact with water.

    300 Orgasms a Day Syndrome
    ~Persistent genital arousal disorder also known as persistent sexual arousal syndrome or PSAS, results in a spontaneous and persistent genital arousal, with or without orgasm or genital engorgement, unrelated to any feelings of sexual desire.

    Foreign Accent Syndrome
    ~Foreign accent syndrome (FAS) is a speech disorder that causes sudden changes in speech pattern, intonation and pronunciation so that the victim is perceived to speak with a “foreign” accent.
    – Note: There was a guy in Seattle, Wa that had lost his memory. He made the front pages of the local newspaper in hopes someone could identify him. He was identified and released. Months later he made the newspapers again. This time in some other state. He was held until someone could pick him up and get him some help. He did experience a form of FAS

    Sleep sex
    ~Sexsomnia is a sleep disorder that, much like sleepwalking, compels the sufferer to engage in sexual activity while asleep. Identified in 2003, sexsomnia has since been cited to acquit defendants accused of sexual assault in British and Canadian criminal cases.
    – Now that sound like a fun disorder to have!

    Exploding Head Syndrome
    ~People with exploding head syndrome intermittently hear loud, explosion-like noises that seem to originate from within their own head. The “explosions” usually occur within an hour or two hours of the victim falling asleep. There’s no physical pain, but sufferers understandably experience fear and anxiety after such attacks. While it’s not clear what exactly causes the syndrome, it’s been linked to stress and fatigue and often vanishes without any treatment.
    – Some days I wish my head would just explode.

    Well that’s it. I came across some new words and thought I would share them with you.

  • http://captainjack.ws Captain Jack

    I keep hearing this a lot lately. “Was the Fruit eaten by Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden an apple?” With the help of etymology, we can answer this question.

    Nowhere in the Bible is the fruit eaten by Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden referred to as an apple. The fruit is called the “fruit of the tree” (that is, the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil), and neither the fruit nor the tree is identified by species.

    In Middle English, as late as the 17th century “apple” was a generic term for all fruit other than berries but including nuts
    However, in continental European art from that period representing the Fall of Man the fruit is often depicted as an apple.

    The apple myth comes from a Latin word likeness: Latin mălus = “bad”, mălum = “an evil”, mālus = “apple tree” and “mast of a ship”, mālum = “apple (fruit)”.

    Humm.. Nobody up at 01:37 hundred hours? I feel like an Indy car at a stop light in the middle of a race. Ok I have another for you.

    So you think you have a lot of snow where you are? (well for some of us, it’s hasn’t snowed yet. Though, weather reports it might snow in Seattle Tuesday.)

    Here are some photos of a town in Russia that is a tad bit snowed in. These photos are all to familar to me. Not that I’ve been to Russia, but in the Cascade mountains in Washington state, we see this just about every year. I hate shoving snow!!!! Never again damn it!!!

  • http://calling-muggins.blogspot.com/ muggins

    That’s me :!: I get exploding head. :shock: I ‘ve never talked to anyone about it, since it happens infrequently, and I usually forget about it quickly. I have thought about it, though, and was at a loss on how to describe it. I figured it was unique to me. It’s not a loud explosion sound. It’s more of an instantaneous pulsation throughout the ol’ coconut, but calling it an explosion makes sense because it’s a very weak explosive sensation. The sound is muffled, similar if you were to just slightly tap your finger on your temple, about an inch in front of your ear. Too true, there is a rush of paranoia that goes with it. You wonder if it’s heart disease or something.

  • http://captainjack.ws Captain Jack

    Really? Wow! I didn’t expect anyone here to have any of these. Rushed paranoia? wow that’s spooky. I get this high pitch ringing in my ears from time to time. I never learned if anyone figured out what caused it. I always thought it was some air escaping somewhere in my ear drum.

    I’m happy to say I don’t have “Aquagenic Pruritus”. I would be so upset, I would have to jump off a bridge. Though I have acrophobia. Never had it before when I was a child. I would climb up trees and spend the day up in them. I guess I’ve had a few falls that I nearly died. I’m doing much better. I walk across a bridge that’s over 45 feet. What scares me the most is the wire framed stairs I take up and down on the other side. I feel like I’m on tight rope.

    I wonder if there anyone else has any of the syndromes listed above?

  • http://calling-muggins.blogspot.com/ muggins

    I can relate to that. Going easy while communicating is the better road, and I wish I’d known that earlier in life. On a similar chord, among friends and family, when they turn you on to a piece of art or music, and you can’t stand it…it’s so bad, there’s no need to tell them that. The things friends and family say, esp. the negative stuff, sticks in the memory. So if you say, “That sucks. How could anyone like that !”, that’s stored in memory by the friend, and pops up when they listen to that piece of music or whatever art form it is. It sours. When confronted with bad art or music, just nod your head and say, “Hmmm”. You might raise your eyebrows, too, as if you’re actually interested in it. Stifle the negative art criticism among friends. It took me a long time before I figured that one out. This doesn’t apply to all criticisms, though. In any public media, it’s cool to let the criticism ‘beast’ out of it’s cage. The world’s greatest pianist quit playing concerts in part because he couldn’t stand the art criticism he inevitably found himself listening to from casual listeners.

    I did a watercolor painting of St. Basil’s from a photograph. The shapes, the color, and the detail were very difficult. It’s easy to see why it is a “wonder” of Russia. In the end the painting turned out pretty good. :grin:

    Dogs are smart. I have three and they know exactly what they are doing!

  • http://captainjack.ws Captain Jack

    I have also found rats to be very smart in solving complex navigation problems. I’ve even trained them to do simple tricks. “Come, Stay, Beg” are three verbal commands I was able to teach one of my rats. I’m surprised with an animal with such a small brain.

    Large birds are very smart too. I seen one pick a tiny Master Pad Lock. Just amazing. Even the shop owner was shocked. She had to buy a new lock. Of course you seen they do many tricks at animal shows.

  • hitoshi

    its so cold here in japan. its only 9 degrees celsius. what degree is it there in your country?

  • http://vkontakte.ru/id25408688 leonard

    [celsius] is my word request and how you be, hitoshi?—–21 degrees celsius near Lake Michigan, USA….”twiiter-chill” :grin: get warm with [][]HOTFORWORDS[][]….The Baroness, Consciousness, and the Twitterverse :smile:

  • hitoshi

    celsius came from the name of the scientist from sweden, Anders Celsius. then Fahrenheit is my word request for you.

  • http://vkontakte.ru/id25408688 leonard

    To convert from F to C, try these calculations manually.
    98.6 + 40 = 138.6, and 138.6 * 5/9 = 77. For the final calculation, remove the 40. 77 – 40 = 37

    To convert from C to F, try these calculations manually.
    37 + 40 = 77, and 77 * 9/5 = 138.6. For the final calculation, remove the 40. 138.6 – 40 = 98.6

    In summary, add 40, (F to C) multiply by Fraction…(C to F) multiply by the other, subtract 40.

    The Celsius temperature scale is still sometimes referred to as the “centigrade” scale. Centigrade means “consisting of or divided into 100 degrees;” the Celsius scale, devised by Swedish Astronomer Andres Celsius (1701-1744) for scientific purposes, has 100 degrees between the freezing point (0 C) and boiling point (100 C) of pure water at sea level air pressure. The term Celsius was adopted in 1948 by an international conference on weights and measures.
    :???: :cool: :???: Fahrenheit—-Fahrenheit was born in 1686 in GdaÅ„sk (German: Danzig), Royal Prussia, a province of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth[2], but lived most of his life in the Dutch Republic. The Fahrenheits were a Hanse merchant family who had lived in several Hanseatic cities.

    A scale of temperature measurement used primarily in the United States. In today’s computer industry, all electrical components have a range of temperature within which they operate. The Fahrenheit scale ranges from 32 to 212 degrees. As a quick reference without getting too technical, 32 is freezing and 212 is boiling. Most measurements worldwide and in the computer industry are in Celsius, except in the chip manufacturing process where Kelvin is used. If you are not sure of your Celsius, Fahrenheit, Kelvin, Réaumur, or Rankine :P

  • neuroway

    Impressive, captain, most impressive! Your teacher (whoever he/she is) has taught you well!

    Or did you come out with that all by yourself?

    Malus is the tree, and malum is the fruit.

    malum is also the singular masculine/neutral form of the adjective malus, and the singular accusative of the noun malus.

    Lemme guess… Can’t be the booze. You ate a bowl of capt’n Crunch cereals this morning?

    Actually diet has much to do with it. I’ve nearly stopped eating fast food. I do splurge from time to time though. I normally eat foods I used to eat as a kid on a farm. I also eat lots of veggies. I eat most of them raw. I snack all day long eating different veggies. I don’t do deserts of any kind accept for chocolate. Not your normal everyday chocolate either. That stuff you find in the organic isle. I don’t drink any sugar drinks. Including so call healthy drinks. Most of them are BS. They are now using a very highly refined sugar called crystalline fructose. I’m finding that stuff everywhere now.

    Well have I have notice is that my mind is getting sharper. It’s like a fog is starting to lift. I’ve been 6 months with this diet. Funny thing is I went out last month to eat at some fast food places. I instantly notice the fog coming back. It’s so weird. I never notice this before. I guess that’s what it’s like to eat the red pill.

    I left college years ago. One thing college taught me. You do all your own teaching. The instructor is just there to grade papers. Ok that’s not true but you get the point. Though in some cases, students are discovering new things that even the instructors don’t even know. That’s was is so cool about teaching. Even the teachers get to learn too. This is the same way I teach my classes.

    Interestingly, the church I went too never tough that Adam and Eve ate an apple. They always said it was the Tree of Knowledge.

    Thanks for adding the notes of malum and malus. I didn’t know malum could also be a masculine sense.

  • neuroway

    Aye. Accusative case only. The accusative singular of malus is malam in the feminine gender. A palindrome just like madam.

  • pat haskett

    Well he better watch out for these guys. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucj85lcX-pY

    Word I’m trying to learn a deeper meaning of it. I would say this is a new word for me, but I never use it.

    Altruistic n.
    1. Unselfish concern for the welfare of others; selflessness.

    I can read a definition of a word all day but it really doesn’t mean squat to me unless I can wrap experiences around it.

    At first I thought this word defined me. The I thought, no, not all the time. Then I thought some more and found I’m far from it. Well sometimes. If I see an accident or someone causing conflict, I run to it while others tend to run away. (btw I hate that when it happens in large crowds. It harder to make way)

    Then there are other times, I couldn’t give a rats ass. If I thing the person is a jerk or something then I just might let them suffer.

    I guess it all depends whether I respect them or not. Yeah, I guess that’s it. I guess I pick and choose.

    Let’s not forget Empathy.

    Empathy n.
    1. Identification with and understanding of another’s situation, feelings, and motives.

    I can empathize with many people. I’ve had a colorful life and experienced many things. I guess I can say I’ve been on both sides of the fence. If I can feel empathy then I might be more inclined to be altruistic. I guess those can go [hand in hand].

    Ok, that’s all I wanted to get out. Im very tired right now. I should be sleeping. It’s like 3 am here.

    Right on, leonard. I have the same at my dusty blog page. It’s the third entry down. (The first entry is under construction.)

    [(F + 40) 5/9] – 40 = C is the formula for converting F into C.

    [(C + 40) 9/5] – 40 = F is the formula for converting C into F.

    For easy remembering, just add 40 and multiply by either 5/9 or 9/5, then subtract 40.

    At first I thought this word defined me.

    In the USA, you can define a word. In Soviet Russia, words define you.

  • http://captainjack.ws Captain Jack

    You brought up something I find very interesting. “Newspeak” I’m finding this happening today and I don’t like it one bit. For example we use many slang words in the English language. It’s becoming so common that the language is becoming slang it’s self. A new word that bothers me. “Sick” meaning cool. Now it’s lost it’s defining characteristics. They only way to understand which definition the speaker is using for the word, one has to listen for the context of the sentence. Question arises, is the person ill or is something really cool. Funny, even the fact of me using the world cool is based on it’s context.

  • http://vkontakte.ru/id25408688 leonard

    It happens within the confines of “institution-education” and over-laps into professionalisms[economics] and…from wiki…[Dialectics] is based around three (or four) basic metaphysical concepts:

    1.Everything is transient and finite, existing in the medium of time (this idea is not accepted by some dialecticians).
    2.Everything is made out of opposing forces/opposing sides (contradictions).
    3.Gradual changes lead to turning points, where one force overcomes the other (quantitative change leads to qualitative change).
    4.Change moves in spirals (or helixes), not circles. (Sometimes referred to as “negation of the negation“)
    Within this broad qualification, dialectics has a rich and varied history. It has been stated that the history of dialectic is identical to the extensive history of philosophy

    :) So true! Friends and family here raised a few eyebrows a year ago about a certain passion of mine which they reminded me daily was a waste of time, saying I was being foolish. When I ignored them and continued, following my heart, things started to get really amazing. They couldn’t or refused to see it, mum saying ‘you honestly think that this dream of yours involving.., out of all else, all the others who also and you say its you that is getting somewhere, then you are (e’hum***) mental my son, now get your hair cut, where’s my grandchildren, why cant you be like all the others, you are too weird to be my son, you have always taken risks and look where its got you, you havn’t been to BINGO with me since mothers day, stop dreaming now go buy me a large drink!!’ which was in a way hurtful as I wanted to share the excitement, but people are people, so let them be. However, their negative (protection) words started distorting what I knew was true. I started to think that dreams were just that, my dream to them was stupid, even as beautifully surreal, new, all so right to me. They more or less talked me out of it as I was a little out of Character but, it gave life no meaning with out the dream. Difficult when dealing with this for the first time, all around with out belief or understanding in what you were feeling or thinking, trying to do. After all they are the ones you think you can trust because, you know them and they know you; they want to see you in a frame work that they can understand. Safe from harm I guess from you or them! Needless to say, I do listen to them but less so in what they think I should think; silence those who wish to silence you; F&F have been mighty put out that I should pursue my dream but I’m learning so much about instinct, inner belief and ultimate faith in your self but more so in your dream. Just wish one would believe in me, it makes the world of difference.
    Two years ago I stood to lose everything which has happened this year(not blaming but thank you very little Northern Rock, all my savings since a kid and hard work lost to fat cats,,grrrr!) Soon followed by my job. Recent four months homeless sleeping on sofas, in door ways and camping (when weather permitting was still, sort of, fun regardless, privilege meeting some amazing people!) currently on a floor space, good for backs! – I made a decision to change, two Christmases ago knowing all was soon to be lost. So what had been manifesting, wishing for, dreaming for started to appear in my life. I was calling to the Universe! The Universe responded in a way I never thought possible. It answered me brightly, an injection of real belief, love and inspiration. Sticking to my guns to everyone’s dismay, I continue as my dream burns hot inside, when at 4am feeling a little cold, not thinking best given the situation, kept me warm and alive! Isolation as never before, with out people around me who, I guess, say the right things giving the right encouragement and advice when needed. The two people I could count on are too long gone, far away now. F&F do go hhmmm when trying to talk about, my dream! An alien in my own patch. So back to ground zero; wheels of change are finally going in the direction I want, feeling really excited too. Only this time will ignore the doubters, the non believers and those who don’t want to see you do well/ or better than them! Also, all being well I have new basement flat to move into before crimbo :) (has a garden too, allows pets so may get a chimp for company;)) So can soon settle and fully focus on projects, make some money get the hell outta here go live some place hot. Above all, I take the faith from those who have done very well, especially the few who I saw at first in their beginnings. The gorgeous M is one of them. The ones who take your breath away in what they do. Its not the fame I lust for but to see others enjoy in what you do. My F&F do not doubt my writing or ideas, just this dream, too sensational for them, I think?; Reminding oneself that you have a lot to offer regardless of being disliked by a few is good advice. As if being self critical is not enough!! A spectrum of feedback from a few offers insight to a wider scope of ideas but as M has experienced, many do take the negative and always so but the few positive amongst her followers silences the small minded. They make it all worth while :) Besides, I am enjoying my leap of faith away from the treadmill, even if I cant afford much right now, I have every faith in my abilities which is mostly thanks to M in helping me realise strengths and weakness.

    Well, I don’t usually pull my punches. If I have reason to say the “fuck word,” I say it.

    But when I was a little child, many decades ago, I remember my father using the expression, “Oh fukkrying out loud.” Pronounced something like “for crying out loud” but yet sounding very much like “oh, fuck” at the same time.

    It really took me a number of years to figure that one out.
