    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:

      Krill oil is said to be a good source of the omega 3 oils DHA and EPA—— :arrow: :idea: Historically, the largest krill fishery nations were Japan and the Soviet Union, or, after the latter’s dissolution, Russia and Ukraine. A peak in krill harvest had been reached in 1983 with more than 528,000 tonnes in the Southern Ocean alone (of which the Soviet Union produced 93%). In 1993, two events led to a drastic decline in krill production: first, Russia abandoned its operations, and second, the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) defined maximum catch quotas for a sustainable exploitation of Antarctic krill. :razz: [[clamp](bear)down]….Krill is a shrimp-like marine invertebrate animal. These small crustaceans are important organisms of the zooplankton, particularly[1] as food for baleen whales, manta rays, whale sharks, crabeater seals, other seals, and a few seabird species that feed almost exclusively on them. Another name is euphausiids,….sourced wiki :smile: krill…[worm(ed)]

    • pedanticKarl says:

      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 :?:

  13. ABHISHEK says:

    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

    • Evan Owen says:

      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:

      • ABHISHEK says:

        Hey Thanks man … for the explanation ….
        hey jst a request …. could u request the phrase

    HI
    Ms.Marina
    i would like to know the origin of the word {celebrity}

    does it come from the word celebrate or something?

  18. solotis says:

    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,

  19. pig-in-a-poke says:

    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?

  20. gwizzz says:

    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

    • Evan Owen says:

      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:

    • Evan Owen says:

      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:

      • arafin says:

        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].

    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.

    @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.

  26. originalistrick says:

    Marina, you’re extraordinarily beautiful in the dating sites’ photo-the big one with you in the black pants and jacket.

  27. kingwoodmetalist says:

    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

  28. Evan Owen says:

    “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:

  29. Evan Owen says:

    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. :|

    • pedanticKarl says:

      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.

  30. Evan Owen says:

    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.

      • originalistrick says:

        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.

  32. cheekypoo says:

    How did [xoxoxo] become to mean hugs and kisses? also, did [flea] market originally meant like an upscale market? Thanks and God bless!

  33. somethingingenious says:

    Ive always wondered why people are told to [say cheese] before takin a picture, is there any significance o the word [cheese]?

  34. bcchief says:

    Dear Teacher; I would like to request the phrase (so long), why do we use it to mean goodbye?

  35. James says:

    OK, So what is going on with her hair now? Is it brown? Is it blonde? Is it short? or long? :|

  36. beevee14 says:

    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

    Why does the phrase [Second to none] describes something excellent, when it literary means “Next to nothing”!?

    Thank you!

    Hello My Dear Teacher …. :shock:
    Learned a lot from you the past few days ..

    Hi Marina,

    In commemoration of the epic snowstorm we just had here in the northeast, here’s wishing you a [blizzard] of dates. ;-)

  42. wetsuit5 says:

    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.

  43. charmiscute0621 says:

    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:

    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.

  47. leoNard says:
