In a nutshell
Where does the expression “in a nutshell” come from?
“Pliny tells us that Cicero asserts that the whole Iliad was written on a piece of parchment which might be put into a nutshell” - Dictionary of Phrase and Fable, E. Cobham Brewer, 1898

After my friend from Philly saw you on myspace shesent me a joke in a nutshell. I don’t know if it’s politically correct or not. LOL.
Ya know guys, over 5,000 years ago Moses said to the children of Israel “pick up your shovels, mount your asses and camels, and I will lead you to the Promised Land”
Nearly 75 years ago, Roosevelt said “lay down your shovels, sit on your asses and light up your camels, this is the Promised Land”
Now Obama has stolen your shovels, taxed your asses, raised the price of camels and mortgaged the Promised Land
I was so depressed last night thinking about Health Care Plans, the economy, the wars, the Health Summit, lost jobs, savings, Social Security, and retirement funds, etc . . . I called Lifeline and got a freakin’ call center in Pakistan .. I told them I was suicidal and they got all excited and asked if I could drive a truck?

Two hillbillies walk into a restaurant. While having a bite to eat, they talk about their moonshine operation.
Suddenly, a woman at a nearby table, who is eating a sandwich, begins to cough. After a minute or so, it becomes apparent that she is in real distress. One of the hillbillies looks at her and says,”Kin ya swallar?”
The woman shakes her head no.
Then he asks, “Kin ya breathe?”
The woman begins to turn blue and shakes her head no.
The hillbilly walks over to the woman, lifts up her dress, yanks down her drawers and quickly gives her right butt cheek a lick with his tongue.
The woman is so shocked that she has a violent spasm and the obstruction flies out of her mouth.
As she begins to breathe again, the Hillbilly walks slowly back to his table.
His partner says, “Ya know, I’d heerd of that there ‘Hind Lick Maneuver’ but I ain’t niver seed nobody do it!” :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Hey – give one of your first fans a present and do those words. Please! I think I first ran across your site when you only had 10 or 20 words out there – maybe in your first month or two. I knew instantly back then that you’d be a success.
Oops – I am requesting the word [filibuster]. We hear a lot about filibusters these days with the health care reform in Congress.
Good one, Prospero. Can we also do “reconciliation”, “nuclear option” and that oldie but goodie, “Fucking-the-people-who-pay-your-salary” otherwise known as “obamacare”!
As if I didn’t feel bad enough because I don’t have a J-O-B, ol’ Harry has got me beating the Old Lady, too! Thanx, Harry Reid, you putz!!
Given the current American political climate – have you done the word “filibuster” yet? If not, I request it!
good word request prospero.
This bitch hasn’t run out of words yet? Geezus christ.
When I was a kid, I wanted friends really badly. Mostly because I had none. Will you be my friend? xoxo
I really don’t get why anyone would want to present themselves like that. It’s weird. Oh well. Cheers.
It’s probably for the 6 figures she makes off of YT and Adsense and all of the paid publicity she gets.
I know what your problem is. You have Bipolar Disorder like me and you are having an obnoxious day or an high energy day. I got that way the other day and I was sharing with a woman all these premontions of my death over the years that did not take place. some days I pray GOD BE MERCIFUL AND LET ME DIE OR LEAVE TOLEDO!! I know i am not inviceable.

THE md’S AND MY relatives attempts at interferrence in my life and heckling on my street make me stop caring and now i wait to die. some self righteous band of Salieri’s like in the movie AMADEUS trying to destory me by false guilt. Maybe I would like to crucify people like Dr. Rev. Julian Davies on wooden crosses and use them as human torches. they dishonor the name of christ. Cowards come on my street and heckle me and threaten me. God can let me die or God can help me leave toledo or americs. at least i am honest.
I say the CIA and some doctors caused me a nervous breakdown in grad school. and since then my brothers and their MD and police friends give me me mental abuse on my street heckling my house. Some call it psychological torture what they inflict on me.
and there can be justice in the world when all the ugly people like you roam the earth. God help us all

HA
in a nutshell is a way to summarize things
Idiomatic usage
The expression “in a nutshell” (of a story, proof, etc.) means “in essence”, metaphorically alluding to the fact that the essence of the nut, i.e., its edible part, is contained inside its shell.
The expression further gave rise to the journalism term [nut graph], short for [nutshell paragraph]… :lol: The flowers of the coconut palm are polygamomonoecious, with both male and female flowers in the same inflorescence. :lol: not a botanical nut :lol: The meat of the coconut is the edible endosperm, located on the inner surface of the shell. Inside the endosperm layer, coconuts contain an edible clear liquid that is sweet, salty, or both.
In a nutshell I have an overactive imagination…and then some.
Does the turtle have a name?
I would like to request the phrase [Far Cry], as in Bill Nye is a far cry from Marina!
My son was asking about where this came from, and what it meant. I didn’t have a good explanation and he said “We should ask Hot for Words!”
Turtle, turtle. that is so cute. when I try to communicate things about incidents in my life I come up with the idea of using “the short version” of it. something more concise and to the point- or ” in a nutshell” so to speak.
[FLAPPERS]…Marina would had probably … :cool: :lol: Thoroughly Modern Millie” is a 1967 musical comedy film directed by George Roy Hill.
It’s starring Julie Andrews, James Fox, Mary Tyler Moore, John Gavin, Carol Channing, Beatrice Lillie,
…in a nut shell, nothing is soul much CHANGE :lol: Flappers had their own slang, with terms like “snugglepup” (a man who frequents petting parties) and “barney-mugging” (sex). Their dialect reflected their promiscuity and drinking habits; “I have to go see a man about a dog”888 often meant going to buy whiskey, and a “handcuff” or “manacle” was an engagement or wedding ring. Also reflective of their preoccupations, they had many ways to express approval, such as “That’s so Jake” or “That’s the bee’s knees,” or a more popular one, “the cat’s pajamas.”
Many terms still in use in modern American English slang originated as flapper slang, such as “big cheese,” meaning an important person; “to bump off,” meaning to murder; and “baloney,” meaning nonsense. Other terms have become definitive of the Prohibition era, such as “speakeasy,” meaning a place to purchase illegal alcohol and “hooch,” which means ***liquor.
…. :roll: ….Beautiful Flapper – 1920′s Fashion Movie
…4 MARINA and her [GANG]… :smile:
How funny that you mention this.
I randomly stumbled across that word (flapper) after foolishly watching an episode of ‘Bad Girls Club’ on the Oxygen channel when the Daily Show and Colbert report were dark last week.
Why? My dad was born in 1916, so back in his day they referred to certain types as ‘flappers’ (although he proudly claimed ‘he was a sinner’…so I digress), and after watching that episode of the Bad Girls Club I was simply adding my commentary via Facebook while still attempting to remain comically politically polite.
I actually thought of posting the link to the Wikipedia page here for Marina because I thought she might find that entire 1920′s American lexicon interesting…but I was afraid she might take it the wrong way. :/
Crazy small world that you happen to mention it here.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flapper
The cat’s pyjamas baby.
lolz
The world seems to get smaller…I thought the same and changed how I was using the slang word “flapper”, too. :twisted:
The times are only changing what masters the economic developments; and fashion works the [rhetoric].{“saying the same thing twice.” }
Public relations, lobbying, law, marketing, professional and technical writing, and advertising are modern professions that employ rhetorical practitioners. …peace out friend :smile:
And comedy.
Small world indeed.
The funny thing is, if I weren’t distracted by the depth of my own rhetoric I would be applying far more of the brain/time towards business invention/creation instead. Irony. The satirical media-based world conquest narrative is just a hobby gone amusingly wild. But I find it exceptionally entertaining and do have a few ‘parallel’ show ideas in the wake.
If I can train myself to remotely Marina’s level of self-production and internet-publication capability I think I might do all right.
19XX-style.
lolz
The funny, funny part? Whenever someone asks, I’ve historically often cited Liz Hurley as what I consider a ‘dreamgirl’ type because not only is she tall and beautiful, but also classy and intelligent – so I’ll let her slide on the ‘exhibitionist’ VERY revealing sari.
Take care!

Where did the word [buku] come from? I heard a friend say they won buku money at the casino the other day.
The word is beaucoup, from French meaning fine stroke. How it got to mean many or much, I don’t know.
Gorby’s troffy :shock:
hehehe awsome shellsd ! And Gorby nekles! Is that Gorby for real ? :twisted:
How did [Alphabet] get that name? Is it derived from the Greek Alphabet like.. Alpha, Beta?
I think you “got it in one” as the Brits say.
Before the Greeks, the Hebrews called their first two letters “aleph” and “beth,” the latter also being the Hebrew word for “house.” This could get interesting.

Many years ago, we visited my father’s family on the farm in E. Texas. When my mother went to the grocery story, she started to leave and the clerk said, “Y’all come back, now.” And so she went back to the clerk to see what she wanted. :grin: True story.
Readers Digest told the story of one Corporal Farr on a base in Texas who called the operator and said, “This is Farr in Barracks F.”
The operator immediately called the Farr Department to put out the blaze! :lol:
Farr out! :lol:
What is the correct term when referring to someone/something from Argentina: Argentinean or Argentine?
[Argentina] (from Latin argentum, “silver”. :cool:
[Ariannin] (Welsh for Argentina, from arian, “silver.” :grin:
The Welsh in Argentina:
“The idea of a Welsh colony in South America was put forward by Professor Michael D. Jones, a nationalist non-conformist preacher based in Bala who had called for a new “little Wales beyond Wales”. He spent some years in the United States, where he observed that Welsh immigrants assimilated very quickly compared with other peoples and often lost much of their Welsh identity. He proposed setting up a Welsh-speaking colony away from the influence of English. He recruited settlers and provided financing. Australia, New Zealand and even Palestine were considered, but Patagonia was chosen for its isolation and the Argentines’ apparently generous offer of 100 square miles (260 km²) of land along the Chubut River in exchange for settling the still-unconquered land of Patagonia for Argentina.”
Today there are still some 2,000 people in Argentine Patagonia who speak Welsh. :smile:
Well, it’s not “Faulklandish.” :lol:
Nor “Malvinian!” :shock:

Abe Lincoln said that anybody could give a two hour speech. Someone was really good, though, if he or she could get the point across in under 15 minutes.

Somebody needs to pay more attention to Abe.
Churchill said something similar; that he could give a two-hour speech on a moment’s notice, but a five-minute speech would take a week’s preparation. :|

A [crystal ball] is a crystal or glass ball believed by some people to aid clairvoyance.….
Later, during central Europe’s Medieval Period (AD 500-1500), seers, wizards, sorcerers, psychics, gypsies, fortune tellers, and all other types of diviners also used crystals to “see” into the past, present, or future.—[]Celtic tribes, known to exist in Britain as early as 2,000 BC, were unified by a priesthood known as Druids. Druids are one of the earliest known peoples to have used crystals in divination. It is interesting to note that Druid religion had similarities to megalithic religion of an “earlier” Britain, thus it is possible the first use of crystal divination might have come from them.
Due to its transparent nature, a natural gemstone called beryllium aluminum silicate (beryl) was often used for divination. Scottish Highlanders termed these objects “stones of power.” Though early crystal balls were made from beryl, they were later replaced by rock crystal, an even more transparent rock.

Jeez, Teacher, what’s with the self-deprecation here? On Twitter, you referred to yourself as a dork, and in the video, as a nerd. I know dorks and nerds, and you, milady, are neither. You are a geek, perhaps; nay, Queen of Geeks! And Queen of our hearts.
Love to Teacher,

Have you ever looked at your miniatures under a 3D microscope (usually less than 40 power)? Every little thing on the surfaces stand out like a boulder. If a miniature was perfect when viewed like that, I would be mightily impressed.
I looked at my 1/1 scale Miata under similar magnification after a polishing session once and nearly cried out loud….
But it’s the stereoscopic effect that really makes things (bad ones, anyway) leap out at you. Stereo ‘scopes cost about $75-150 at electronic swap meets ten years ago, but they are amazing to use, especially if you are looking for a splinter in your finger.
Oh, I see now. Sounds like an interesting device to have. I’ve been intrigued by microscopes since I was a kid. I enjoy getting an up close view at things minute. And given the fact that I hate to work with gloves on, Lord knows I’m hip to splinter searching. Thanks for the tip, friend.

In a nutshell, I want to thank logischabbaubar for pointing out that the German magazine Spiegel Online covered 12 YouTube videos today with Marina’s being one of them.
“Good linguistic instruction is dependent
on the quality of teacher”
I posted the information on the Forum here.
Dear Marina,
Thank you for another video, so soon after your Nexus video. You look great in that low-cut red dress. Your voice is smooth and flowing, with good diction, and you’re lovely to listen to. :razz:
The term, “in a nutshell” actually refers to the concise version of a story or a summary of it. For instance, Homer’s “Oddessy” is the story of a long voyage at sea, Or the movie, “Casino Royale” is, in a nutshell, the story of a criminal who tries to obtain lots of money in a crooked card game, and James Bond must prevent this. :smile:
In general, it doesn’t mean to own a miniature version of something. As a kid, I would glue together plastic model airplanes in 1/72nd and 1/48th scales. I would paint and decorate them to look realistic, but my parents would give them away to kids or adults who liked the models. :shock:
It taught me some lessons: That they were just things, and I shouldn’t invest so much value to them. Besides, they made other persons happy to have them, so that’s good. (I think). :?:

Hi Marina,
I have often heard [ dead as a doornail ]. What’s with that? What’s a doornail?
There have been several such requests lately, so I wonder what is provoking it. I don’t know why the nail in a door would be any more dead than any other kind of nail.
Marina, you are SOOOO funny!
I have a number of miniature Minis, little models of Mini Coopers. I only have one that’s a model of the new ones from BMW, but dozens of the real Minis, from Morris and Austin, even a 1/10th scale Radio Controlled exact model of my 1967 Morris Cooper S, with a model of me driving it.
Hi Marina – may be off topic for the video but wanted to offer a WORD SUGGESTION – I keep hearing the word [Twizzle] during the Olympic skating events – any relation to the candy Twizzlers or vice versa?
how bout the bathtub test lol– During a visit to the mental asylum, a visitor asked the Director how do you determine whether or not a patient should be institutionalized.
“Well,” said the Director, “we fill up a bathtub, then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the patient and ask him or her to empty the bathtub.”
“Oh, I understand,” said the visitor. “A normal person would use the bucket because it’s bigger than the spoon or the teacup.”
“No.” said the Director, “A normal person would pull the plug. Do you want a bed near the window?”
ARE YOU GOING TO PASS THIS ON, OR DO YOU WANT THE BED NEXT TO MINE?
A man is at the side of the road and one of his car’s wheels has come off, and, while he found the tire, he can’t find the lugnuts. A man from a nearby insane asylum shouts out to him, “Take one nut off of each wheel and use them to put on the one that came off.” The driver replies, “That’s a great idea. I never would have thought that you would have figured that out.” The insane man answers, “I’m insane, not stupid.”
Oh, sorry, James. I meant tyre. :grin:
No problem
Oh wait. Was that directed at me? Hmm. I don’t know! Aaaah!
Hello Marina, I would like to know where the phrase “Tongue in Cheek” came from? :smile:
Hi, Marina! I’d like to ask, what did we call [tea], before we had tea? That is, our word “tea” comes from the Chinese “chai”. But what did we call drinks made from steeped herbs, before we got tea from China?
Best regards,
the Baron
I hate to be a dork, but only drinks made from the tea plant are called “teas.” Herbal “teas” are actually “tisanes.”

I don’t know that one “became” the other. Gage is an alternate spelling for the instrument (gauge), but gauge also refers to the standard sizes of things such as metal thicknesses, fastener diameters and so forth.
