    Hello, my dear teacher;

    You might be interested to know that a new cruise ship named the Marina will be in service next year for Oceania Cruises. Her maiden voyage is scheduled to depart from Barcelona, Spain, on January 22, 2011, and she will arrive at Miami, Florida, on February 4. Will be glad to send a picture.

    And how about the history of the name Marina?

    [colts]…Karl, I was getting old thoughts in order and was trying not bungle and my buzzword is [bundle]…I have my reasons for the seasons…

    from wiki…Bundle theory, originated by the 18th century Scottish philosopher David Hume, is the ontological theory about objecthood in which an object consists only of a collection (bundle) of properties, relations or tropes.

    According to bundle theory, an object consists of its properties and nothing more: thus neither can there be an object without properties nor can one even conceive of such an object; for example, bundle theory claims that thinking of an apple compels one also to think of its color, its shape, the fact that it is a kind of fruit, its cells, its taste, or at least one other of its properties. Thus, the theory asserts that the apple is no more than the collection of its properties. In particular, there is no substance in which the properties inhere.

    …jelly belly for sunday is smelly deli…ja ever see Marina and Vince Lombardi with Elijah Pitts?..go to pics..

    .Elijah Eugene Pitts (February 3, 1938 – July 10, 1998) was an American football halfback in the National Football League for the Green Bay Packers, the Los Angeles Rams, and the New Orleans Saints.

    Pitts scored two touchdowns in the original Super Bowl. He was inducted into the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame in 1979.

    After his playing career ended, Pitts was an assistant coach for the Los Angeles Rams, the Houston Oilers, and the Buffalo Bills, coaching in all four of the Bills’ Super Bowl appearances in the early 90s. Pitts occasionally substituted as head coach for Marv Levy in the mid-1990s.

    :grin: …

    Lombardi coached at West Point for five seasons, with varying results. The 1949, 1950, and 1953 seasons were successful, but the 1951 and 1952 seasons were not, due to the aftermath of a cadet cribbing scandal in the spring of 1951, which severely depleted the talent on the football team. Following these five seasons at Army, Lombardi accepted an assistant coaching position with the NFL’s New York Giants.

    [LOMBARDI AWARD]…As coach of the Packers, Lombardi converted Notre Dame quarterback and Marina has a nice rear-end(hind-end)Heisman Trophy winner Paul Hornung to a full-time halfback. Lombardi designed a play for Hornung based on an old single wing concept—both guards pulled to the outside and blocked downfield while Hornung would “run to daylight” — i.e., wherever the defenders weren’t. This was a play that he had originally developed with the Giants for Gifford that would become famous as the “Lombardi sweep” or “Packer power sweep.”…sorry for nothing :lol:

    FootBall is an all boy sport….with men coaching p(r)layers…

    Frequently cited as the toughest and most physically demanding of any team sport in the world, the primary aim in rugby league is to carry or kick the ball towards the opponent’s goal line where points can be scored by grounding the ball; this is called a [try].[ :roll: ] After scoring a try, the team is allowed the chance to try at goal with a conversion – a kick for further points.

    I received a phone call from a gorgeous ex-girlfriend who this morning called ‘out-of-the-blue’ to see if I was still around.

    We lost track of time, chatting about the wild, romantic times we used to enjoy together.

    I couldn’t believe it when she asked if I’d be interested in meeting up and rekindling a little of that “old magic”.

    “Wow!” I was flabbergasted.

    “I don’t know if I could keep pace with you now”, I said, “I’m a bit older and a bit greyer and balder than when you last saw me. Plus I don’t really have the energy I used to have.”

    She just giggled and said she was sure I would “rise to the challenge”.

    “Yeah.” I said. “Just so long as you don’t mind a waistline that’s a few inches wider these days! Not to mention my total lack of muscle tone…everything is sagging, my teeth are a bit yellowed and I am developing jowls like a Great Dane!”

    She laughed and told me to stop being so silly.

    She teased me saying that tubby, gray haired, older men were cute, and she was sure I would still be a great lover.

    Anyway, she giggled and said, “I’ve put on a few pounds myself!”

    :twisted: So I told her to fuck off. :twisted:

    Hello mrflowerand pcb388,
    Marina did a video on the phrase “spitting image” which touches on the concept of someone’s double. The video is a game in two parts.

    In this video, Marina gives you three choices and the next video she gives the answer. In the answer video, focus on her homework assignment at 1:35 regarding the loanword.

    http://www.hotforwords.com/2008/03/29/spitting-image-answer/

    The German word doppelgänger refers to the following concepts; twin, double, alter ego, look-alike, dead ringer.

    Your confusion may stem from the fact that there are two definitions for the word and the wiki below will present information to put everything into context. Here are the two definitions and the dictionary breaks down the etymology.

    1. a ghostly counterpart of a person
    2. alter ego
    http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Doppelganger

    Here is a German dictionary (presented in English) which gives definitions and many links to related references such as synonyms, wiki, etc.

    This wiki presents a history and context of the word.

    Dear Marina,
    There’s so much rain here, I’m surprised you had a sunny day to go to a park and play fooitball. I’m glad you made videos while playing football. You’re beautiful in shorts. You also looked great running in your red dress carrying the football with a big smile, and then you did a happy dance after you scored your “home run” (touchdown). I liked the way you slapped your behind many times after your touchdown! Your “heiney” looks very small and firm! :razz:
    Tumble and stumble rhyme with fumble. :smile:
    In the game of Rugby, a touchdown occurs after you cross the goal line and touch the ball down beyond it. It’s called a “try.”
    The Colts will win the Superbowl. The Superbowl is fun because they show some of the most expensive TV commercials on this show! Some of them are funny. I’ll cook a pizza to eat during the Superbowl! :mrgreen:
    I hope you had fun making this video. I enjoyed seeing you run, smiling, with the football. :razz:
    I hope you enjoy watching the Superbowl, too! :razz:

    I would like to request the slang word [groovin]. Wikipedia I think just describes it as being in groove or rhythm, musically, which is obvious. However, someone told me that the term ‘groove’ in blues originally meant pussy err excuse me, vagina. And groovin’ meant screwing err making love and that it was kind of a code most people didn’t really get the real meaning of. And eventually it just became what Wikipedia describes it as now. And I’m gonna guess some damn hippie in the 60′s got ‘groovy’ out of it then.

    I would like to request the word {filibuster} . This is a political / parliamentarian procedure which is used to prevent the US Senate from taking a vote on a bill. Filibusters essentially allow the minority party to control the actions of the majority. But where did this word come from? For what it’s worth, I believe that filibusters should be banned because they prevent the Senate from accomplishing anything. The House of Representatives has timed debates and does not allow this procedure.

    Yes, the territories of Spain and Russia overlapped in California. Contact between Russians and Spanish were generally peaceful. Russia exploited the area for furs, while Spain created ranches to raise cattle and cattle products. Russia thought the area was depleted of sea otters and other fur-bearing animals, so they sold their Alaskan territories to the US.

    I would like to think that satan has a special place reserved for teddy. At this place he takes the good senator, puts him in a car, locks the doors and drops it in a large body of water. Then, as he is sinking down, he sees a person outside! Banging on the window, pleading for his life, he begs them to open the door! As he looks closer, he realizes that they look just like him! He screams with his face against the glass, “Open the door! Theres enough time! Please help me!” As the cold water starts to climb over his knees, his car sinking to the bottom, he sees the figures legs kick to the surface and he knows he is doomed. Just as the water is at his chin, though, he has a flash of that figures next 40 years. Power, Prestige, Money, Beautiful Women(on a very consistent basis). His next breath has water in it. Then it starts over again. And over. And over
    Yeah. That would be a fitting Hell for the distinguished gentleman from boston.

    President Obama was invited to address a major gathering of the American Indian Nation in upstate New York. .
    He spoke for almost an hour about his plans for increasing every Native American’s present standard of living.
    He referred to his time as a U.S. Senator and how he had voted for every Native American issue that came to the floor of the Senate.
    Although President Obama was vague about the details of his plans, he seemed most enthusiastic and spoke eloquently about his ideas
    for helping his “red sisters and brothers.”

    At the conclusion of his speech, the Tribes presented the President with a plaque inscribed with his new honorary Indian name,”Walking Eagle”.

    The proud President, plaque in hand, exited to his motorcade waving to the crowds departing for scheduled fund-raiser’s later that day.

    A news reporter later asked the group of chiefs how they came to select the new honorary name they had given to the President.
    They explained that “Walking Eagle” is the name given to a bird so full of shit it can no longer fly.

    What does the phrase [learn your three R's], I’ve always been told it stood for “Reading, Writing & Arithmetic”. However, only one of those words begins with the letter R.

  • http://www.wigsalon.com alphabetman

    i don’t know what marina’s etymology shows for fumble … but in English it’s really easy to see the root of a word. The UM part of FUMBLE is an old word for the sense of “under or down”. You see UM in words like UMBRELLA – UMBER ( shadow ) and PLUMB ( which is straight down ..a plumb line ) . UMP words go up and down, whether they are LUMPS, BUMPS, HUMPS, or MUMPS. BL words nearly always connote NEGATIVITY: , BLACK, BLUR, BLEMISH, BLINK, …there are onomatopoeic and physical reasons for these associations ..which is described in a soon-to-be-published book called “Deciphering the English Code” .

    BL is also related to PL – which is words like RAPPEL and PALISADES – has that downward sense as well.

    So FUMBLE connotes a a FALLING DOWN in and of itself . This root English code is actually over 100,000 years old – and first existed in Africa. The code of language ( and all languages ) has not changed very much over all these years – according to the book’s author. :cool:

    let’s do etymology on MARINA ORLOVA’S name. MARINA: It seems to be a word about water – but there is also this sense of VISION. MIRA in Spanish – ADMIRE and MIRROR in English. In fact, WATER and VISION are etymologically related in most languages. ( SEE the SEA ?? ) The reason for that is: long ago, before there were mirrors, we used water to see ourselves!

    OR is the Hebrew word for LIGHT. You see and hear it in English words like AURA, MORNING, TORCH, HORIZON, ORANGE. The R sound in OR is the SUN phoneme. RAYS RADIATE RA, the Egyptian Sun-god. The KORAN and the TORAH also refer to light – in the sense that light is a good thing, perhaps revealing truth.

    So MARINA ORLOVA means: Look at her – she loves truth and light.

    Another excellent lesson thank Marina. The editing on this one must have been a challenge. I will be a bit envious of your camera operator.

    In Rugby, which Football evolved from, you must actually touch the ball down in the end zone for the points to count.

    I’ve been a Peyton Manning fan from his college days, so I hope the Colts win. :grin:

    Nice try but you missed out on a huge factor. OR means nothing. Her name is Russian. So it makes no difference about what the English means. Because it is Russian

    Marina is a name historically used in Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Scandinavian, Greek, Russian, Romanian, Bulgarian, Serbian, but derives from the Ancient Romans. It is the female version of the name Marinas. In which in Latin literally means “of the sea”

    Orlova is a place name in Russia and was in fact a fuedal seat, meaning all members of the ruling family of that fuedal state would bear the name of the state and vice versa. Now in modern days this city is actually in the czech republic… yet more interestingly the word is ancient germanic Orlau…and it began as a monestary in 1223 my ancient german is weak but the term seems to also refer to water specifically still warm water.

    So in theory ” Of the sea, the calm warm water”

    still the only word comes to my mind when i see her is “sweetie” cause shes just a genuinely nice and cool person.

    Don’t know about a winner but I would definately take the over! Especially with Freeney watching from the sidelines. It may be the first football game where they had to call in “relief” QBs in the fourth quarter because their arms were worn out! Should be interesting. I’ve already got the chili made, just have to re-heat(and dig myself out-that was a good one!)

    Prediction: Manning proves he deserves the MVP by leading a 4th quarter comeback…31-27!

    BTW On the subject of ‘who dat’ and ‘who dey’. I remember screaming ‘who dey’ at Bengals games when the Saints were the Aints, the fans wore bags on their heads and their record was like 5-11! Even the rhythym and cadence of their ‘who dat’ song is exactly like our world famous “Who Dey think gonna beat dem Bengals/ when they play in The Jungle!” So there! ;-)

    Hi,
    I was wondering the origin of the word [pun]
    Thanks

  • djabberwocky

    Great stuff Dear Teacher you left off a tiny bit of course the maybe intentionally ?? But in the originating sport that NFL came from it was never called a Touchdown (it was a Try!!) … this is what it was called from the action required of that sport to place the ball over the try line not the end zone, as it is called in NFL. This if of course the great international sport of Rugby or Rugby Union the greatest team sport there is !!! Thank you Marina for that little insight today dear teacher … I started out thinking your Lesson today was just to appease those Jocks amongst your students who couldnt relate to anything unless it had a fix of jockstrappery amongst the intellectual input but I ended up thinkiing it was one of your more cute send ups of life Go Marina score that Try you can do it !!! You must find touch dear teacher !!!

    james and marina .. the world is about to be handed a new way of thinking about word origins ( by the way ORIGINS has OR too ..it means OR ( light,sun) GIN ( GENERATOR ) ..it is a clue that this is how the creator of that word ( and there was one ) thought about that word – it is anti-biblical – it says – the sun started it all ..EVERY WORD in EVERY LANGUAGE is that way …
    as to hebrew and russian (and there are plenty of russian jews with names like orlovsky ) event hat is not important – 75,000 years ago we were ALL in Africa ( google “the Real Eve) we HAD language – and ONE Language ( only 5,000 people got out alive – we arwe all related – and so are our languages ) – OR means LIGHT,FIRE, SUN almost anywhere you find it in any language because there is a pre-babel language to which all are related – in italian FORNACE is furnace (or again) – in CALIFORNIA ( cali =hot forn = furnace – ) and fORnication makes things hot too …. you could say California means HOT SEX … :) Deciphering The English Code will show all that

    Marina said her name may also mean mars. Here is an idea, why do nt you try to learn from a philologist. She is very good you know.

  • http://youtube.com/jamesingtonthethird James

    Origin comes from the Latin origo meaning “to rise”

  • http://youtube.com/jamesingtonthethird James

    Well, America was discovered waaaaaaay after we adopted Latin words so I think California has no latin roots at all.

    Dear Marina,
    You asked us to say who would win the Superbowl, so I said it would be the Colts. Well, to my surprise, the Saints actually won the game. It shows how hard it is to predict the outcome of a sports event. There are so many variables, such as injuries, whether so many individual players will play their best game, or the number of mistakes that different players will make.
    Well, this Friday, the Winter Olympics will start. It’s nice to see the great athletes perform. Are you going to do a video about the word, [Olympic]?

    vagina is easy – you just need to know the real codes – VA means GO in almost every language – you know vayo con dios or va voom – G – itself is a GUT word – the sound G comes from INSIDE the GUT and its why GUT starts with G – your left with IN ..so VAGINA = GO INSIDE :)

    hey this is all really simple once you realize that every letter had ONE ( or two ) original meanings … this code does not miss

  • http://www.wigsalon.com alphabetman

    latin is a 3000 year old language – relatively new – what you are not getting is that language is 125,000 years old ..and the codes of LATIN are derived from the original codes .. i only bare the original codes ..and show hoe they still exist ( and are best preserved ) in english – it is why english will be this world’s language one day ..it is one of the newest formal languages – but still most closely aligned with the original spoken language of man … i like marina’s attempt to teach the world language roots ..but it is important to remind us all that it was one language at the onset …( ps – i am not a religious person ..though i respect all faiths – ) the story of babel is one of the few stories from the bible i still believe …

  • http://www.wigsalon.com alphabetman

    yeah, she’s hot and has a brain ( i love her too that way ..don;t get me wrong ) … but tracing words to Latin is like watching a train arrive in New York from Los Angeles – and saying it came from Philly because that was the last stop – Latin is one of the last stops in the evolution of language from caveman to English …

    did you know that nearly every English word that is built around the letters DR is about WATER?? ( can you figure out why ? – then you are on the way to understanding how spoken language truly evolved )

    :lol: :lol: :lol:

  • http://www.wigsalon.com alphabetman

    the connection is almost universal – in persian DARYA is SEA – it’s because DR sounds like drop drop – sounds like water falling – the DR words are onomatopoeic for water – or WAW-DR ( better that way )

    how about where you go to get out of the water – you go UN-DR ( a tree ) to UN-DR ( un water yourself ) and how about THUN-DR – ??

    poker is easy – first you must accept that P & F flip back and forth in languages – in Hebrew the P & F are the same written letter – it’s why Giuseppe is Joseph – and PISCES is FISHES …

    when you poke someone you leave a pock mark ( poke mark )
    POKER is an aggressive P-word. It’s quite related to that phrase ..what is it … liquor in the front – poker in the rear – yes poke is related to F–K. IN fact, as a man , you have to poke to F–K – so all those theories about where the F -word came from ..it’s really simple – its about poking – and so is poker …
