Please put me on your Valentine’s List! I have not heard from you lately at http://inteli-mate.webs.com
I keep sending my friends to your HotForWords site and they keep laughing at inteli-mate.com which was friendship site created as a class project at Fresno City College! We are your biggest fans!
Come by and visit Lee Scott AirForceNurse in the Central Valley town just east of CSU Fresno in Clovis!

Time for Danica’s Nationwide debut. She picked a scary venue. Good luck, gal!
:sad: Danica just got wrecked :!: :cry:
Yep. And how about the ride Junior just took? This is the shame about restrictor plate racing. Oh, well, I think she did a fine job & learned a lot.
Well, we caught the [Conficker] worm again last night, despite the latest Microsoft updates for Windows. My daughter went to bed in tears because she couldn’t chat with her online buddy in Ireland.
Malwarebytes again hunted it down & deleted (disabled?) it. But I’ve taken pK’s suggestion and downloaded Firefox. So far it’s a seamless transition from MS-IE. Supposedly it’s resistant to worms & [trojan horses]. (“Beware of geeks bearing gifts.”) :lol:
[Bear]…be where its bare and I care your share!
…barely revealing the naked truth; she said, as she laid in bed! Endurance made the bears bearable with only the new of knew bruin! :lol:
Evan, just fair warning, you can still get infected when using FireFox. It is not so much that FireFox is resistant, which it is, it is that MSIE is a mess.
The problem today is in reference to the key word “trojan”. I don’t care how well you are defended, and FireFox is a better defense than MSIE, the onus is still on you to avert social trickery which will cause you to get infected.
What that means is that today’s attacks are highly sophisticated and get around Anti-Virus and Anti-Trojan software. The attacks come in layers or phases and the attackers look for yet unexplored holes in the system. Attacks via JAVA (not JavaScript) is on the rise. I’ll write something later in the Forum to prevent infections.
Hi I have always been curious about the origin of [swear words] and why they are so bad :?:
I dare Marina to do the word [[[BAD]]]——-I [swear, words] will never be heard like how and(or) when read… …I heard it depends when or which bible(book) you swear on! :cool: Its all in lining up the word!…ps, cool car(gravitar) ;-) : camy-454!
this is to all the users
has anybodies word request been replied
by hot for words….. or i would like to know how is it done
Marina has answered a couple of my requests (other people asked for the same words): “salary” and “handkerchief.” For “salary” I submitted a video request as a reply to one of Marina’s HFW videos on YouTube. A short (30-seconds max) explanation of why you are interested in the word is useful. :smile: Salary
With “handkerchief” I submitted an absurd story about the word’s origin; I almost think Marina did the video to correct me. :lol:
Hey Thanks man … for the explanation ….
hey jst a request …. could u request the phrase
” CLOSE SHAVE” on HFW you tube video request …..
would be highly obliged if you could do so ..
and refer my name pls……..you know…..
if you do ..PL. PL. give the link .. thanks once again
HI
Ms.Marina
i would like to know the origin of the word {celebrity}
does it come from the word celebrate or something?
Happy VALENTINE Day ….MARINA… [clap]….
…The Clapping Song~~~Three, six, nine
The goose drank wine
The monkey chewed tobacco on the streetcar line
The line broke, the monkey got choked
And they all went to heaven in a little row boat”
nice rhyme …
Wats up Marina. I wanted to tell you that your super cute. I am curios about the origin of [pussy].
Hi makdon,
While Marina is busy keeping Gorby from Drew’s pussies, check this video out that Marina did way back in April 2007. Very kewl video.
Don’t be so Pusillanimous!
http://www.hotforwords.com/2007/04/16/dont-be-so-pusillanimous/
I Love the new look!
I would like to request the phrase [pushing the envelope] I know what that means but never understood why or how that phrase came.
Thanks Marina,
Otis
Marina,
I like the dark hair and it appears your eyes are green. I’ve forgotten if they’re green or they’re blue.
I wanted to start the above posted video at a specific time, but I’ve forgotten how to do this, too. Will you help?
P.S. Would you revamp my resume with some power words?
:| :|
Hey Marina–I would just like to tell you that your most recent videos look super ! The backgrounds seem to have more depth and the colors look richer,too. The brunette bob hairstyle is quite flattering and you look very sophisticated with it ! I am sorry if I missed the answer about the hair style being real or is it ……
The video you did about ono…..peia was fun. Venetian Princess was a hoot like she usually is. It gave me food for thought about the animal sounds. I never realized that they were different around the world. The web site you posted in the link was so much fun– our labrador retriever ears perked-up when I checked out the duck sounds and she put her head onto my lap top while I played the different countries duck sounds. It was so funny !!
Thanks for all your videos and all of the laughter…..

Dear Marina,
I have always believed that the best way to learn anything is by having fun with it, and you certainly make learning the origins of words fun. :grin:
I would like to request the origin of the word “hinky”. I can find little about this word online. It is apparently US slang.
Thank you so much for your delicious HotForWords.
Gratefully,
Arafin
Dad used to sing a silly song with the line “hinky dinky parlez-vous?” said to originate among US troops in France during one of the world wars. :smile:
I’ll be damned — found it on Google! Haven’t heard it since 1965!
Oh, Mademoiselle from Armentieres,
Parley-vous
Oh, Mademoiselle from Armentieres,
Parley-vous
She’ll do it for wine, she’ll do it for rum,
And sometimes for chocolate or chewing gum!
Hinky-dinky, parlez-vous? :grin:
Bob, you familiar with this one? :razz:
Thanks Owen.
I’m not sure how the information you found ties in with how I have heard the word “hinky” used. I’ve seen several TV shows where it has popped up, most notably Andy Sipowicz in Hill Street Blues using “hinky” to describe the apparently nervous and paranoid nature of a criminal suspect.

Dear Marina,
Your appearance is always lovely, since I love to see you smile and show your bare shoulders.
I’m confident that you are well-spoken and present a speech with dignity and beauty.
Your beauty flatters your presentations with your gorgeous appearance.
Your attention to etmology and history of words greatly helps us use our language better.
Your generosity is always there with your frequent gifts of wonderful videos for us to admire.
Too bad I’m so nice I won’t place a word request for: [Nooner].
:razz:

That was a great vid, Dear Teacher. I take it you have someone to do the camera work with you now, as opposed to fixed camera shots? And the lighting and shallow depth of field look great, also!
Besides the etymology lesson, that was awfully good Relationship 101 with your choice of words. I retired from the game a few years ago. Guess Indiana women are impressed by different words.
If you ever have a “Win a long conversation in a dark, quiet coffee shop” contest, I’m stuffing the entry box. Cya

@stigmatasaurus
Regarding your question:
ref twitpic link: http://twitpic.com/12oyfk
@ stigmatasaurus on February 12, 2010
“Okay, I’m totally confused. It’s still Feb 11 here in California. Where is Twitter based? And are there titles for the pictures I’m not seeing?”
You asked about Twitter, but I think you meant to ask about TwitPic where Marina’s photo is posted and your post is dated Feb 12. Twitpic and Twitter are two different companies.
The TwitPic server is located in the Dallas area and they are using UTC (GMT) time.
Twitter on the other hand uses relative time (i.e. 2 hours ago) in the short term and PT stamp when you look at your Tweets longer than a day or two. Their server is located in Colorado, but can change periodically depending on traffic and other geographic issues such as weather, breakdown, etc.
No, there are no titles. When one emails a photo to Twitpic, the title is picked up from the email Subject line.
Marina, you’re extraordinarily beautiful in the dating sites’ photo-the big one with you in the black pants and jacket.
hey marina i love your videos but they got me thinking, where did the word [quash] come from, it means ‘to shake violently’
for example “if we were in a relationship, would you ever [quash] me?”
lots of fun for confusing your friends
“Generous” (of noble birth):
Related names:
ευγενε (eugene) — Greek, “of good birth”)
евгений (yevgeniy) — Russian (derived from the Greek)
Owen — Welsh (also derived from the Greek) :grin: :cool:
M. (or pK),
How do I view your profile on Date.com? (No, I’m not seriously looking, just curious.) I did a search on keywords “HotForWords” and “Russian” in the LA area, but couldn’t find you. :|
Hi Evan,
Click on “Win A Date With Marina” and fill out a profile regardless of whether you are serious or not. Remember, the person that you are not looking for, is looking for you. Think serendipity. Half of Marina’s profile can be seen in the video above at 2:27
Regarding your experience with eHarmony, do you realize that eHarmaony is highly slanted in favor of the Christian demographic that is ready to get married? Go to wiki and enter eHarmony. It will also tell you several reasons why you were rejected, which essentially comes down to specific Christian values as defined by the creator of eHarmony who is a practicing evangelical Christian who focuses on the family.
So, the question of whether date.com is a better option than eHarmony really boils down to clearly understanding the motive and objective of each site and how it fits in with your lifestyle and values and what kind of relationship you are seeking. Even if you are not serious, there are many people that are looking for lifelong friendships, but not ever wanting to go beyond that.
Hi pK,
I think I got the cart before the horse — signed up with date.com before I clicked the “win a date”. Now when I enter my user name, they tell me that name is already taken & I can’t get any further. :|
Anyway, unless you’ve got a direct link to her profile handy, I don’t expect you to take a lot of time on my query. Just curious to see how M. is promoting herself for a serious relationship, as opposed to putting on a show for her fans (both being valid, of course.) :smile:
Evan, I thought you had signed up. If so, then you should be able to log in and see Marina’s profile. Once you are logged in, try looking either for hotforwords all lower case or search for a match in the Beverly Hills location. I think LA should also work. Sorry, I don’t have a link for you. Leonard down below said that the profile has been deleted?
Quote”The power of accurate observation is frequently called cynicism by those who don’t have it.” – George Bernard Shaw 1856-1950….stanford school of [MEDICiNE]…..!^^^!….. China passes Germany as the world’s largest exporter. :o [cynic]*The name Cynic derives from the Greek word κυνικός, kynikos, “dog-like” and that from κÏων, kyôn, “dog” (genitive: kynos).…[cinyc/cynic] :lol: …dog/god…so thats how the dog was was tamed to mans best friend…Marina ! is of mankinds friend…peace out
Yeah, once the word got out she was on date.com, all the men looking for her crashed the server. :lol:
Well, Date.com might be a better option than eHarmony. I filled out the latter’s profile and got the following response:
“A person like you shouldn’t be in a relationship. To preserve our good name, we decline to offer you any matches.” :lol:

Have you seen that new show, “Inside NASCAR” on ‘Showtime’? Haven’t seen it yet, but if its anything like “Inside the NFL” it should be great.
Hey, Amigo, how have you been? Haven’t seen it. I’m one of those people so uninterested in T.V. that I don’t take Showtime, HBO, etc., but thanks for telling me.
How did [xoxoxo] become to mean hugs and kisses? also, did [flea] market originally meant like an upscale market? Thanks and God bless!
Ive always wondered why people are told to [say cheese] before takin a picture, is there any significance o the word [cheese]?
It makes you smile -> :grin:
Dear Teacher; I would like to request the phrase (so long), why do we use it to mean goodbye?
OK, So what is going on with her hair now? Is it brown? Is it blonde? Is it short? or long? :|
It’s bald.
Photos, please.
One time I asked a friend if the carpet matched the drapes and she looked puzzled and said, “Well, there is no carpet.”
I said, “So you have hard wood floors then!” :mrgreen:
Well, it was funny at the time!
Its beautiful. Let it snow, let it snow. But like they say, its all fun and games until the milk runs out and you STILL can’t get out of your drive! :evil:
Oh yeah baby :twisted: Gimme some lovin’!! ;-)
After being married for 44 years, I took a careful look at my wife one day and said: “Darling, 44 years ago we had a cheap apartment, a cheap car, slept on a sofa bed and watched a 10-inch black and white TV, but I got to sleep every night with a hot 25-year-old girl. Now I have a $500,000.00 home, a $45,000.00 car, nice big bed and plasma screen TV but I’m sleeping with a 65-year-old woman. It seems to me that you’re not holding up your side of things.”
My wife is a very reasonable woman. She told me to go out and find a hot 25-year-old girl, and she would make sure that I would once again be living in a cheap apartment, driving a cheap car, sleeping on a sofa bed and watching a 10-inch black and white TV.
Aren’t older women great? They really know how to solve your mid-life crisis
:mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
;-)
That is brilliant :)
what if … u create the “same condition” ” environment”again as it was 44 years ago , u may end up getting more rich… lolzz..
Ciao Marina!
Why does the phrase [Second to none] describes something excellent, when it literary means “Next to nothing”!?
Thank you!
THE FLIRT (1917)….
Hello My Dear Teacher …. :shock:
Learned a lot from you the past few days ..
i was wondering the origin of the phrase
[ CLOSE SHAVE ]
as in while watching F1 ” he just had a close shave”..
looking forward to hear from you …
Warm Regards
Your Dear Student
ABHISHEK
Dear Teacher ;-) great video :grin:
you look beautiful & the hair color, cut & styling are making me almost forget how you look blond :roll: we got hit with a large
snowstorm in the north east BUT i am glad its us & not you who got [ dumped on] :mrgreen: your too lazy student :cool: B.B. :cool:
Hi Marina,
In commemoration of the epic snowstorm we just had here in the northeast, here’s wishing you a [blizzard] of dates. ;-)
Great video Marina.
Explains a lot of things.
Your change in hair color tames your electric pazazz factor and makes you appear more approachable.
Gee I could even say hello to you rather than mumble ah bah duh bah.
And you seemed to turn dating into a scientific study.
But with your past success with words, what are you going to do with all the success in dating?
Perpetual speed dating.
Don’t worry only 3 billions guys to go thru.
Note to self: Roses for Marina, Hotdogs for Gorby.
Or is it Oysters for Marina, Kill it squeak toys for Gorby?
Ah,, do both.
Hi Marina! :grin: I would like to request the origin of the word [irrational]. Since that word means as having an unknown under a radical sign or, alternately, with a fractional exponent in math and without the faculty of reason; deprived of reason in english. Thank You! :razz: :smile:

The “Win a date with me” contest ended February 7 and here’s the guy(from her facebook) who won! How cool! No wonder she’s gone brunette. La La Land is crawling with blondes.
http://www.facebook.com/marilyndarling
What a great video Marina!
As one other commenter noted on on of the other pages,
I like the change in depth of field focus where the background
is out of focus. I think it is called shallow focus.
I also like the tonal quality of the video and the list of words covered were excellent. The presentation was way beyond excellent.
By the way Marina, you are funny in that presentation. ;-)
