Word of the day by ...
So, Marina, are you going to help the hilarious @CherylKerl (kind of famous on twitter for “It’s Mint, Man!” and also an FHM hottie like yourself) translate her new book from her written brogue (which she tweets in all the time) into proper English? Maybe you and her should do a video together, could be funny. Of course you’d probably have to fly London… ;-)
Actually, Proserpine is the Latin name for Persephone (gr. ΠεÏσεφόνη, PersefónÄ“), and yes, she turned Minthe (I can’t find the name in greek), who was Hades’ lover, into the mint plant. There is a reference of this in Ovid’s Metamorphosis, book X, verses 730-731 (moreless), but a footnote on my copy (Consuelo Ãlvarez and Rosa Ma. Iglesias’ edition for Cátedra’s colection Letras Universales) says that it was on Nicander of Colophon (a Greek sage), but we got the anecdote mainly from Strabo’s (a Greek historian) Geography, VIII 3, 14 C344.
Also, Hades (gr. ‘Αίδης, ÃidÄ“s, or Ä€dÄ“s) was also known as Pluto (gr. Πλοῦτος, PloÅ©ton), meaning “wealth”.
Besides, the Latin moneta is an impersonal form of the verb moneÅ, monÄ“vÄ«, monitum, monÄ“re, which means, of course, “warn”, but also “to remind”, “to make think”, “to advice”, “to exhort”, and even “to inspire” (a poet).
Don’t worry, I’m shutting up now.
This may seem like a joke, but it’s not. Where did the term nigger come from?
your mom
Obviously derived from Niger and / or Nigeria, sources of black slaves in early America. :razz:
Yes, as far as I know, they come from where Evan Owen Claims. Also, In the 18th century, the word “negro” (pl. “negroes”, suspiciously alike the Spanish “negro”, meaning “black”).
Marina’s so sexy!
thanks babe
Thank you, Marina! This video made my day! :grin:
well thats a good one marina ,,,, :|
as im new to this site , i will start my problems at a very basic level , thats why dont mind .
any ways whats the thin line difference between apprehend and comprehend .
Alright, Here’s a curious question…. I listen to the BBC news on National Polluted Radio (NPR) and the REALLY english sounding broadcasters end any word that ends with an “a” as in China or Obama or Idea with an “r” sound as in [Chiner] or [Obamer] or [Idear]….
Drives me NUTS!
How the hell did this get started and is this proper Queens english or what?
Cheers,

I could not explain better : this etymology was perfect !
I still don’t understand why you american people use italian words …. Moneta is Money in English!
How many words make up the English Language is open for debate, but it is safe to say that the number would be way north of 150,000.
Of those words a very small subset originated by the native population of Great Britain. The vocabulary started growing as a consequence of different groups landing on the Island with the intention of invasion or trade. Some of the words from these different groups made their way into the English vocabulary.
As the vast majority of religions spreading throughout Europe used English, the language started being spoken by people from all walks of life. As such, you will see words from every European country included in your average person’s vocabulary.
Great Britain also started expanding its influence through trade and colonization throughout the world, and even more words were added.
The English language made it to the shores of North America and over time thousands of new words were added.
Thousands upon thousands of words had to be created to describe advancements in medicine, mathematics, science and technology. Instead of trying to create brand new words from scratch, often times several existing words from other languages were melded together. If you know the meaning of the parts you can construe the meaning of the concept you are trying to convey via the use of the new word construct.
Thousands of words have been added to the English language as part of product names that end up becoming a word in their own right. Such as Xerox, Aspirin, cellophane, duct tape.
As the concept of money did not originate in America, the word to describe money had to come from from somewhere else. Americans can’t claim any kind of ownership over English as much as they might want to. We are only adopters and contributors of said language.
Is it forbidden to borrow words ????
A lot of hard work and ingenuity goes into the creation of words that make up a particular language, as such most people feel a certain sense of ownership and pride in their language. In an ideal world, no languages would include any borrowed words in their vocabulary; instead brand new words would be invented as needed.
If everyone who spoke English voluntarily agreed to stop using all borrowed words there wouldn’t be enough words left to be able to be able to effectively communicate in this day and age. Although this might be the right thing to do, I don’t think it will ever happen.
Dear here4thewords,
I would welcome you to HotForWords, but as I am new here myself, let us welcome each other. I found your comments above very interesting. If I am understanding you correctly, you are making the following points: 1) languages need many new words for effective communication 2) it is too difficult in todays world to get these new words simply by creating them 3) people have an identification with their language 4) from 3) we can deduce that people feel are motivated to minimize the extent that they borrow from foreign languages rather than create new words within their language. Would I be correct by saying that you see speakers of a language being pulled in two directions – minimizing the extent that they borrow from other languages due to pride and identification on the one hand and needing more words created for todays world than can be supplied by creating new ones (rather than borrowing from other languages) on the other hand? (Sorry about the length of that sentence)
Yours,
Larry
AKA BertrandR1872
I would like to take this opportunity to say hello to Larry and to everone else on this website.
Why make the effort to create something new when someone else has already done the hard work for you. I think most people throughout the ages felt that to be acceptable way of thinking as far as the topic of borrowing words was concerned. Those people that may disagree with this stance have never been vocal enough to get their views seriously addressed outside of their circle.
I’m of the mind that the world should continue on the path of having a multitude of “unique” languages or collectively decide that the time has come to adopt one language for all.
I personally don’t consider English to be a “unique” language as it is a mixture of languages. I think that English should be completely revamped so that the entire language has a consistent set of rules in place on how to speak and write the language and all of the words are unique and not borrowed. It should be a language that someone could easily master in grade school and not require a lifetime of study.
Even if all of the English speaking people throughout the world agreed with me and decided to start the process of retooling English tomorrow it would probably take several generations to complete the process.
As the English language will more than likely remain exactly as it is for the foreseeable future, I take an interest learning more about its makeup and proper use.
I will take this opportunity to say “Thank You” to everyone throughout the world for the use of whatever words my fellow English speakers may use throughout their lifetimes.
{ audience} I think you are a very bright thinker!
When I read your previous posts throughout this website I couldn’t quite feel the vibe man… Can you dig where I’m coming from.
Something was missing…Than it came to me. If I read this and imagine the sound of bongos being played at just the right moments.

/Step-On {Soapbox}
I had never heard of Marina before watching the “Telephone” Video on Friday. Since then I have spent several hours reading the dialogue and viewing pictures posted from Marina’s viewers on YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, and hotforwords.
I would have to rate the vast majority of content as being NSFW (Not Safe For Work), and not at all appropriate for anyone under 18 years of age. The remaining content for the most part isn’t worth reading as the conversations tend to be way off topic and/or extremely rude or inappropriate.
I am personally interested in the origins of words and phrases and would like nothing more than to read or partake in conversations that dealt with that subject matter.
Although Marina has given us a wonderful platform for having such a dialog it doesn’t appear as a whole to be working which is a shame.
/Step-Off {Soapbox}
I really like what you say, im learning english(as it’s not my first language) and i agree with you that all the comments are out of topic and they don’t see the work behind each vidéos, i guess they just don’t realise it while they are writing and for that i think what you are saying is N°1!!
peace!

Hello, I would like to request the word [Boxing] or [Boxer].
Thank You Hot For Words :razz:
The Boxers (better translated as Righteous Fists of Harmony) were a Chinese nationalist group that organized to fight foreign occupation and influence in China between 1898 and 1901. Their rebellion was memorialized in the 1963 film “55 Days at Peking.” :grin:

I’ve only been coming here for about 2 months and I’ve noticed p-kid insults everyone, including any new person that comes here.
On any normal website this wouldn’t happen… they would get rid of the nuisance immediately. So any newcomer must think this website is a joke and they never come back.
There are only about 20 regulars here… there might have been a lot more but he has driven them all away with his stupidity.
This website is fantastic and he has turned it into a joke.
If you are insulted by this… great, now you know what he does to everyone here.
This isn’t his website… it is yours.
It is because his catsite has three users alive, including him and his cat :lol:
and…..?
it will be my little secret :mrgreen:

Hahaha… Young little newbie gravityboy. I am not the one driving them away….. they are driving themselves away.
You seem so scared of me, or something. I don’t know what it is with you. :roll: Always trying to fix every flaw around here. Just like pedantickarl. And you were the one who even said you were ashamed of your own behavior. HotForWords does not have to be your life. It is a virtual life. And you care so incredibly much of what I say! Worry about yourself. Be your own person, not worry about mine.
It’s not like I don’t respect Marina. HA! She has a heck of a lot better website than me! I am a newbie when it comes to wordpress, (why do you think I ask her constantly how she accomplishes stuff!) For her to block me, she would be a total COWARD. Marina is a strong soul and lets all of us have our own personality. Hate me all you want, I am who I am, and thats who I always will be.
virgin? :shock: :lol:
:smile: Good one! ;)
So if marina blocks you, that makes her a coward? Since when does putting a stop to irritating people like yourself make other people cowards, i say it makes them the ‘better’ person.
He isn’t going around trying to fix every flaw, and so what if PKarl did, is there something wrong with that? Don’t speak ill of the dead, either. You said so many messed up things in the forum where ppl were wishing Pkarl to rest in peace, even though i am a jokester i would NEVER do such a thing like that, not even in cyberspace let alone real life. In the end, this makes you a loser. Being vicious and attacking ppl for no reason is a disease, get WELL soon.
I am certainly more well than you are! Because I don’t think I will be posting links to where you can see yourself nude, even on cyberspace, let alone in real life. (which I know you do anyway).
Get WELL soon
P.S. I’ll say WHATEVER THE F I WANT ABOUT WHO I WANT
u go ahead and do that, buddy. while ur at it, try not to come off as a complete psycho. i am flattered u contacted me on facebook, but i prefer we keep our loving relationship strictly on HFW website. Good night!

I usually hate rap because it isn’t actually music but Eminem is different. He is fantastic and so much better than others it is ridiculous.
It’s like when everybody first heard Van Halen play the guitar… everyone realized they didn’t know how to play.

p.s. something looks weird with the blockquote?
test test test
Eminem is not the best of the best, or even amongst the best. All he raps about is negative, negative, negative. Always about how he had it hard, what he had to go through in life. Everybody has to go through tough things in life, and you don’t see other well-to-do singers always singing about negative crap.
Eminem needs a ‘reality’ check and needs to be a more positive role model for all those…uh ‘wiggers’ and ‘wanksters’ or even non-wanksters, in general, needs to rap about better things for those who listen to him in general.
I was actually just talking about the music end of it. Even though it is a rap… Eminem stuff can also be considered actual songs and I can hear discernible tones in his voice (even when supposedly talking) that are in the same key as the music.
He is the only rap guy that is doing that.
thanks LOL and i know p-kid is completely in love with me, he went thru the trouble of making a fake facebook to contact me in a more personal way! ahahah

Speaking about rap and the Lonely Island’s song Boombox.
Why Andy always mentions about the {boiled goose}? Please, tell me, what does it mean?
Yes, his raps are somehow negative, but when I’m depressed, his songs help me to get up again. I like especially lyrics of the two of them that seem to be very negative:
Deja vu
Beautiful
This is my favorite part:
Sometimes I feel so alone, I just don’t know, feels like I been down this road before,
So lonely and cold, It’s like something takes over me, Soon as I go home and close the door,
Kinda feels like deja vu, I wanna get away from this place I do,
But I can’t and I won’t say I tried but I know that’s a lie cause I don’t
And why I just don’t know…
It describes perfectly how I often feel (although the reasons are completely different)… but it works like a katharsis for me. I can realize better how many people feel so depressed too and how normal part of the human life such mental states are.
Hey Marina!!! Great video. I would like to request the word {wedgie} :razz:

Could you do me a favor and research the word {Stygian}? The use was in a book I was reading my kids and referenced how dark it was. the darkness described as Stygian black.
Dear David,
Stygian comes from ancient Greek mythology. In Hades, the ancient Greek underworld, there flowed a river called Styx. If the ancient Greek Gods swore an oath upon the river Styx, that oath was inviolable. The river Styx had the usual underground land of the dead attributes. I hope this helps.

hello Marina. you look like charliejames on youtube. she has a similar accent. is she your sister?
I cannot stand the taste of menthol! When I was young I played cowboys and I always chose this for a name. (Should have listened to the PSA). I have a place where mint and spearmint grow wild. I only eat it fresh and raw. I had a dream about menthol once and the taste stayed in my mouth for about three days. When my mom went to get ready for bridge group, we would steal the fancy buttermints off the table. Some how we always got caught.
i agree, i hate halls menthol cough drops. i hate hate menthol. it flabbergasts me when ppl smoke menthol cigs.

My first hooking. It was around 5Th grade. I carefully snuck down to the Texaco on the corner. I had one goal in mind-cigarettes. I waited ’til the mechanics were back in the garage, threw my quarters in the machine, and pulled any knob. When I got home I realized they were Camel Straights. Should have learned my lesson then. :|
Menthol capsule varieties
These varieties contain a small bead in the filter filled with a
menthol liquid. When crushed, the liquid is released into the filter giving the smoker an intense burst of menthol flavor.Camel Crush – Camel light becomes a Camel menthol light
Camel Menthol- Adds an additional amount of menthol to the cigarette
Camel Menthol Silver- Adds an additional amount of menthol to the cigarette. Menthol Silver is the “light” version of Camel Menthol.
:grin: In 1913, R.J. Reynolds developed a new innovation: the packaged cigarette :idea:
The most famous historical style of Camel cigarettes is the soft pack of the regular, unfiltered variety. Camel regulars achieved the zenith of their popularity through personalities such as news broadcaster Edward R. Murrow, who smoked up to four packs of Camel regulars per day, in effect using a Camel cigarette as his trademark.
—————-
————————————–~~~~~~A master-crafted blend of only the finest hand-picked Samsun & Izmir Turkish tobaccos with a robust domestic tobacco blend creates Camel’s distinctive flavor and world-class smoothness.~~~~`I think black-strap molaSSes is Marlboro’s special blend verses Cam(p)mals – {Liquorice or licorice} (pronounced /ˈlɪkÉ™rɪʃ/ LIK-É™-rish)[2] is the root of Glycyrrhiza glabra from which a sweet flavour can be extracted. The liquorice plant is a legume (related to beans and peas) that is native to southern Europe and parts of Asia. It is not related to Anise, Star Anise, or Fennel, which are the sources of similar flavouring compounds.
Uses with tobacco
Much liquorice production goes toward flavouring, sweetening and conditioning tobacco products. Liquorice adds a mellow, sweet woody flavour and enhances the taste of tobacco. The burning liquorice also generates some toxins found in the smoke, :razz: and the glycyrrhizin expands the airways, which allows users to inhale more smoke. ;-) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquorice :arrow:
SUM LaWYeR talk—Licorice
(Licorice Fluid Extract, Powder, and Root)
Licorice is used by tobacco companies as a flavoring/sweetening agent, a moisturizing agent and as a flavor harmonizing agent. Virtually all American cigarettes use casing materials such as licorice to mellow nicotine harshness, enhance the flavor of the tobaccos and to increase smoothness and body. Licorice enhances tobacco smoke by masking the undesirable characteristics of different types of tobaccos. It provides a hard to detect pleasant sweet undertone to the smoke. Licorice reduces dryness in the mouth and throat of smokers. It also improves the moisture holding characteristics of tobacco thus increasing stability and shelf life and improves the rate of absorption of flavors uniformly and evenly into tobacco. The 1981 usage levels of licorice in cigarette tobacco ranged from .25-.4% and in chewing tobacco from 3-6%. A 1983 study shows increasing the amount of licorice from moderate to high results in increasing smoke heaviness and body and a slight amount of mouthcoating. RJR has examined reducing the concentration of licorice and stated in 1969 that a 25% reduction would not significantly affect smoke quality. Minimal information found thus far on licorice toxicity.

Hello Miss Orlova,
I noticed in YouTube that you can click on a link below to read the full text of your most recent videos.
Is it possible to view these texts in http://www.hotforwords.com ? And will you give us the texts of all your videos, even the older ones ?
It is very useful for non english native-speaking people (I’m one of those).

My Dearest Teacher:
I just discovered your Youtube channel yesterday and I have watched quite a few of your lessons starting with your very first lesson: “Philology”.
{As a part of your lessons you mention that this or that part of a word is derived from “Olde English”, or “Greek”, or “Latin”, etc. I think it might be nice to have a series of lessons where you delve into much more detail about the origins of the “English” language itself.}
I think it is safe to say that your average Youtube subscriber will come across only a handful of people (at best) that have actually dedicated themselves to the study of language in their lifetimes. As such I am sure you have gained a great deal more insight into the subject matter that I hope you will share with us in the future.
You are incredibly charismatic, humorous, and creative (which is really a rare combination for an educator) and I was wondering if you had considered creating a seperate Youtube Channel targeted towards youngsters, where you would present your material in a fashion that would grab and hold their interest. By doing so you could further increase the size of your audience.
your lessons are awesome.
but perhaps you can help me with something that plagued my mind for many years.
All my life people have said i have {corny or cheesy sense of humor}
and it isn’t exactly recognized as being a great trait,
even though cheese and corn make for a delightful snack.
perhaps you can help me with this quite perplexing conundrum…
I was looking for this joke:
Q: How many IT guys does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
(but there were no good answers!) :mrgreen:
I did find this one, though :grin:
Q: How many mice does it take to screw in a light bulb?
A: Only two, but the hard part is getting them into the light bulb.
Q: How many IT guys does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
A: No one, The hard boiled IT guys are not afraid of the dark! :mrgreen:
Q: How many Chuck Norris-es does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
A: No one, Chuck Norris prefers to kill in the dark. :twisted:
Q: How many KGB agents does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
A: This is secret information. Please come with me and we talk privately about it :shock:
Sorry about all these tests
I had to see where comments post
and how they cascade.
I do see a problem with this where replies are nested such that there is a disconnect between the original (#1)comment, and replies to that comment(#3) when(#2) receives comments that are nested between (#2) and (#3). Confused yet???? :mrgreen:
So what are you thinking? I don’t know of a better way to make them not confusing.
[eyes blink in amazement]
Uhhh… yeah, this is much mo’ better
Thanks!
Everything from the top of the header down to the top of rhe comment replies area is fine.
After that, the left margin cuts off the first character.
The comment indents look wider, causing fifth, sixth and seventh nested replies to have narrow column areas.
My test before was due to absence of indentations.
I guess the IT guys aren’t working too hard :mrgreen:
Dang that was quick!
How do you expect me to keep up??! :lol:
There are still line spaces being added in the comment area. There are no spaces between lines as I type them.

OK – that worked!
{number} like to mean a {joint} or cigarette :roll: A cigarette (French “small cigar”, from cigare + -ette) is a small roll of finely-cut tobacco leaves wrapped in a cylinder of thin paper for smoking. The cigarette is ignited at one end and allowed to smoulder; its smoke is inhaled from the other end, which is held in or to the mouth and in some cases a cigarette holder may be used as well. Most modern manufactured cigarettes are filtered and include reconstituted tobacco and other additives.[ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cigarette ]
The term cigarette, as commonly used, refers to a tobacco cigarette but can apply to similar devices containing other herbs, such as cannabis. A cigarette is distinguished from a cigar by its smaller size, use of processed leaf, and paper wrapping, which is normally white, though other colors are occasionally available. Cigars are typically composed entirely of whole-leaf tobacco.
Rates of cigarette smoking vary widely. While rates of smoking have leveled off or declined in the developed world, they continue to rise in developing nations.
When it’s called a ‘number’, is that ’cause you get “numb”-er?
Cigarettes now have additives which make them go out if you don’t constantly {puff} on them. The unintended consequence of this bit of ‘genius’ is that more people will die from cancer, It’s an example of government nanny-nanking interference taking a product and ruining it for their own purpose. In populations around the world, cancer rated are typically 10%, except in the USA, where it has been dramatically lower.
This simple chemical change is expected to alter habits of smokers and will be shown to cause an additional 250,000-400,000 cancer related deaths per year; and more incidences of cancer at younger ages. It would make as much sense to taint orange juice and milk with strychnine to make children more resistant to poisons.
The government solution of education which led to the dramatic reduction of cancer among smokers has been replaced with this one:
“Floggings will not stop until morale improves”
I like smoked tilapia best. Using a smoker is a tedious process requiring much preparation and demands attention throughout the process to achieve desirable results. Soaking ample quantities of hickory wood chips for two days prior to using a smoker in a process that lasts from dawn ’til dusk makes using a smoker a semi annual event for me. It has become a ritual to smoke the Christmas turkey in my neighborhood. It takes a couple of us all day to get it to come out perfect, but it makes for a fabulous meal.
I’ve only had oysters on the half shell and I admit, it isn’t for the flavor. Oyster stew and oyster soup are more to my liking.
That’s an interesting thing you do; nesting blockquotes to make the text run down the right side of the page. Looks like you figured out how to exploit an inherent bug in the WordPress.
The “reply buttons are getting confusing on which reply is to who
{ so
Cial science }Remember the old number system ands decimals? Tell that one to your host! :twisted::roll: testy
My word request for today :arrow: {dependent}… :cool: <<——–…
Of course this is the best system for comment display… it is organized the same way as file system in computer.
You need the direct reply arrows back though… without them it will get very confusing especially at 7 or 8 levels deep (and having the arrows is an actual visual explanation of the way the comment reply system works).
The line-height is too much now. It is almost the same as new paragraph.
This new design is great… much more usable width for comments by starting comments directly under user-name. But the distance between avatar and user-name comment block is a little cramped, needs 2 or 3 more pixels… and maybe even a little more blank space than that before the date starts (to move it a little extra to the right).
I made the adjustments that you mentioned. I don’t know how to bring the background arrows back though because they are a background image and fall outside of the next children block so they don’t show for me now (they are hidden.) Would you know how to being them back? They are called reply replybg.png
Can I make the images be custom list bullets?
Try to make replybg.png as a background for “.commentlist .children” style and make some padding-left for this element (about 30px)
for example:
find style “.commentlist .children” and add there
padding-left:30px;
background:url(‘http://media.hotforwords.com/wp-content/themes/yamidoo_pro/images/replybg.png’) no-repeat 0 0
maybe it helps ;-)
The problem with the padding left is that it then shifts everything over. I’d like to put the image to the left of the avatar, but that would put it outside of the box, which makes it hidden for some reason.
Perhaps there is something I can do with transparent background? Or perhaps I can make the images Bullets for the ul li elements?
Are you sure you added padding-left:30px;
for “.commentlist .children” ?
it must looks like this
Yes.. I did that.. but, as you can see in your picture, everything then shifts over to the right. I’d like to add the arrow but have it left of the avatar.. not shift the avatar and comments over to the right. Do you know how to do that? Is it possible?
I would like it to look like this.
Ok then also try to add for
“.commentlist .children”
margin-left:-30px
so all construction will be:
margin-left:-30px;
padding-left:30px;
background:url(‘http://media.hotforwords.com/wp-content/themes/yamidoo_pro/images/replybg.png’) no-repeat 0 0
You are the BEST!!!! Extra credit points for you! :-)

Remember when vans were upholstered with Chagall over the place?
hmmm…actually Boris, though I’ve been in many vans in my day, especially VWs, I don’t remember any of them being upholstered with Chagall, though that could have been because of either my state of consciousness, or my preoccupation with other activities.
chagall => shag – all
(it might be my accent) :mrgreen:
In the ’80′s I saw a lot of vans with shag carpeted interiors.
Ouuuu …that was actually quite good Boris, though it went right over my head…perhaps I may have gotten it if the Chag & all could have been separated…like perhaps…In you van du you haf Chag all over eet or yoost on de floor.

Thanks, I’ll try again
You are nasty :twisted: :evil:
Yes, you can crop the image when you upload it. Does that work when you upload?
I’ve had some difficulty cropping the image. It worked for the Avi I have now, but it didn’t for previous attempts. Also over the last two days I haven’t been able to get into the server sporadically. Have a great day!
Try it again.. I moved to a new server and have been having issues with it crashing.. but the server guys are working diligently to fix it. Sorry about the issues!
No problemo, figured there were just some issues…I’ve been able to get on most times I’ve tried. :grin:

I remember our first computer back in the 60s. Steam powered, we ran it off the wood-burning stove. Gears instead of microchips. Hissed and clanked like a steam locomotive; the pressure-relief valve used to sing like a teakettle when it got too hot. It didn’t do much more than add columns of numbers. We’d hang around on the long winter evenings thinking of new numbers to add, when we were snowbound in the cabin and tired of playing cards. (Even after we got electricity, TV signals wouldn’t reach our remote valley east of Skykomish, Washington.)
Yep, them were the days…

I love the way you say herb like a rasta. I don’t know if its just in the UK but, over here mint is slang for something good/amazing. EG “Your new car is mint”. I love mint, and I have a mint plant, sometimes I make mint tea to settle my IBS so I don’t fart all day.
There was anothter verse from the Bible that my mom had on a casette set to a musical jingle-KEEP YOUR LIFE FREE FROM THE LOVE OF MONEY, BE CONTENT WITH WHAT YOU HAVE, FOR GOD SAYS I WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU NEVER WILL I FORESAKE YOU, Set to some cowboy western jingle.
Saw on Turner Classics the old movie THE GREAT SINNER with Gregory Peck and Ava Gardner. The story was about these bored idle aristocrats who went to a luxury hotel in Wiesbaden and gambled away all their money at a gambling table. They did this to relieve their boredom. When they lost all their money they went out back and shot themselves in the head. My dad told me we had an aristocrat ancestor in his family tree who was a such bored aristocrat. And he likewise gambled away his fortune. It came up in one of those father and son chats we had when he took me 25 miles out in the country to my metal testing job at a foundanry in Waterville, Ohio in 1983. Old “Spycast” I told you about.

Up the road we have the “the Fighting Irish” —{mascot} for a local community high school and Cara was popular with the football team :lol: (the Geenans adopted) :twisted: (joke)… here is something sourced from wikipedia– There are indications that a carrageenan-based gel may offer some protection against HSV-2 transmission by binding to the receptors on the herpes virus thus preventing the virus from binding to cells. Research has shown that a carrageenan-based gel effectively prevented HSV-2 infection at a rate of 85% in a mouse model.[Population Council.] Some personal and condom lubricants are already made with carrageenan, and several of these products (such as Divine) were found to be potent HPV inhibitors in the study (though others that listed carrageenan in their ingredients were not). :roll: i’m not gaelic, i’m a lett… :cool: :arrow: mint test

Dear Marina,
What a refreshing video on mint! Mint is a commonly used flavoring in chewing gum, candies, cookies, cakes, breath mints, tea, toothpaste, mouthwash, hard candies like Lifesavers, and it’s even used in beverages like the Mint Julep or Creme de Menthe. You probably will remain thin if you don’t like the taste of mint, because it’s in so many high-calorie foods. I guess that’s why you didn’t wear a mint green dress! BTW, you looked great in that green bathing suit you wore in Hawaii! :mrgreen:
I don’t dislike the taste of mint, but it’s not something I seek out. I thought mint was used in some of the tea served in Russia and England. I prefer Chinese tea, which almost never has mint in it!
I’m happy that you’re home in California! You’ve been to so many different places, already! England, Spain, France, Greece, Russia, Hawaii, Las Vegas, Orlando, Malibu, San Diego, Santa Monica, San Francisco, Beverly Hills, and many more. Have you ever been to Palm Springs? I’m scheduled to teach a class there in 2012. :mrgreen:

The Bible does say THE LOVE OF MONEY IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL. Yet I heard of Baptists who have large homes or farms or love their large bank accounts!! And they think they are not being worldly.
Women are the root of all evil, because you will have no need for money if there were no women. It’s like which came first, the chicken or the egg. Having all your eggs in one basket makes one a dull boy. So, spend all your eggs hoping for a chicken but which is worst the egg or the chicken. Save them both and you win and the devil will be your friend. Put a chain on him and God will free him again. So which is worst? Having a dead bitch or a rich uncle?
The love of money brings only two paths. You become a thief or work yourself to death. You’ll not have time for any women, because you’ll be in jail or in the grave sooner than later. So, give up on women and you’ll have no need of money.
Just so you know…the chicken and the egg questioned has been answered. It’s been found that the necessary proteins to make the shell of an egg only exist INSIDE the chicken…ergo…the chicken came first.
Money ain’t for nothing and the chic’s for free. :lol: So, women came first before money. They are the root of all evil :lol:
Marina, have you ever had a mint julip? Funny that the word “julip” comes from the ancient Persians and the word “mint” comes from the ancient Greeks, HeT?

Dear HotForWords,
Yes I have always enjoyed the taste of mint. When I was a kid my favorite ice cream was mint chocolate chip. I actually need a breath mint right now, but I don’t have one so I’ll go brush my teeth.
Your Student,

very insightful and entertaining video as always Marina. Love you forever
Hello my teacher. My question is about the word{check} as in {hip check}. You know when a girl hits someone in the hip with her hip. When she doesn’t like what someone says or to be cheeky or flirty. My question is why is a {hip check}called a {hip check}?
:mrgreen:
No like mint :sad:
do like wintergreen :grin:
LOVE my dear teacher :oops:

Homework: My favorite mint is wintergreen. I must have had thousands of Wint-O-Green Lifesavers in my lifetime! Yes, they do spark when chewed! I am not, however, a fan of chocolate mints. I pass on those when waiters hand them out after eating dinner. I don’t like the smell & taste of mint mixed with chocolate. I like my chocolate candies solo……………..or with peanut butter.
Hi Marina. In your picture when your flying back home. Did you lighten your hair? :cool: It looks great.
I like a Mint Julip. Oh and I mint to say you look great as a coin but would look better on a $100.00 bill. :smile:
Hi Sir,
Been meaning to ask: did you find a lentil soup recipe that you liked? Remember?
Hi Doncross2bear. No I haven’t found one yet. Really I forgot to look on the internet or ask around. Thanks for reminding me. :smile:

Mike,
To get a feel for it, Progresso makes a decent, if somewhat bland, version. Usually I have to soup it up a little (sorrreeee for the lousy pun). There’s an upscale Greek restaurant in Indy that makes it so well it brings tears of joy to my eyes….Cya

MARINA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TELL ME HOW YOU ARE EDITING THE CSS NAMES ON THE COMMENTS BEFORE YOU FORGET!
And would you be so kind is to send me “ajax edit comments 4.1.1.0″ so I don’t have to pay for it? :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
READ ABOVE COMMENT MARINA!
I cannot send it to you, they check the installation to make sure it is paid for.
As for editing the css names.. I just stole it from buddypress.
they do not check, I have version 3.1.1.0 for free. You must pay to get an update.
They do check. The plugin has a system very different from normal plugins. I also work very closely with the developers of the plugin.
Than why do I have the version totally free?
I cant go into the link, must login
Because that is one way of doing business.. you give away a free version and do an upsell for a more powerful version. You have to be able to be paid for your hard work somehow!
Ah………. I don’t get paid. I love wordpress.

There is another meaning for the word ” mint “, and it’s in reference to numismatics,
( rare coins ). There are several ” mint states ” when referring to rare coins, with the higher number meaning closer to perfection. It’s a rating system which allows investors and collectors to know how close to perfection a rare coin is. There are several grading services which are used to grade rare coins, and they vary in the quality of accuracy.
The Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) and Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS), are considered industry wide as being two of the best grading services. So to give an example…A Morgan silver dollar could be graded at ” mint state 65 ” or
” mint state 67 “, with the ” mint state 67 ” being a higher grade and therefore a more valuable coin.
In one of my past lives I sold rare coins. I had a personal interest in ” California fractionals ” which were gold coins minted in differing denominations, which were minted specifically to help miners, during the California gold rush, be able to trade for goods.
Are late 19th century Morgans doing well at all now?
There are many factors that govern the value of a coin. How rare the coin is, which is determined by how many still exist. When silver was being manipulated by the Hunt brother’s huge amounts of silver coins well melted because the weight of silver in the coins was much more valuable then the coins themselves. So people just had them melted down for their silver content. The Franklin half dollars were almost completely wiped out because of this. Many Morgans suffered the same fate.
Where a coin was minted is also important, certain mintings are more valuable then others.
The coins themselves, the designs. There were several different types. Some Morgans had designs with 8 tail feathers, some with 7…etc. Also a mistake on a coin makes them very valuable, or if they’ve been double struck.
Then of course you have the condition that the coin is in, the MS or mint state.
So someone dealing in these and in coins in general really needs to do their homework.
The trend in rare coins has always been going up. Especially when the stock market is not doing well people hedge their money with collectibles such as rare coins and other collectibles.
The market for Morgans of those years has leveled off, with no significant gains made over the last 3 or so years. I believe if someone has the needed knowledge it is wise to diversify your money with the use of these coins. You are always going to experience times where their value may not increase as rapidly , but they are good as a long term investment, not as a speculative investment where one is looking for a quicker ROI.
To give you an example a MS-67 1878 Morgan that has 8 tail feathers in 1990 was valued roughly at 20K. It has been valued at 48k for the last three years, and the prices on most of the Morgans has not moved in the last 3 years, but the trend is never down. They aren’t going to lose value. Your personal ROI is obviously going to be determined by the price you pay and the value of the coin when you decide to sell it.
Thanks for the info, Michael! My late father left me with a fair sized bag of them; guess I’d better do some research. :smile:
Get them out of that bag. You don’t want them banging against each other. Use gloves while handling them, and wrap or put each one in a small plastic baggie. Get in touch with one of those 2 grading services I mentioned previously, and talk to them about getting them appraised. DO NOT go to a local coin dealer to ask their value.It may cost you a little bit of money to get them checked out, but it will be money well spent, as you’ll then know exactly what you’ve got.
Yeah, I figured a dealer would be a good place to get hosed. I’ll follow your advice. Primo info, sir. Thanks!
My pleasure, keep me posted.
Let’s see, “money:” penny & dime have been done; how about:

Moneta made its way into Spanish as moneda, “coin.” :cool:
“Coin” in Polish is just “moneta”. And probably in many other languages, e.g. Italian.
The latin “moneta” survived also in the English adjective “monetary” and the economic term “monetarism”, so it seems to be not so strange even to English users.
Oh, and I’ve forgotten that in Russian “coin” is also монета.
:smile: I confess. I’m a freak for anything mint.

No Tic-Tacs for YOU, Marina! :razz:
Hello Marina,and everyone :!: That was a very good lesson :!: I cann’t believe that mint has so many meanings.I love your outfit,it makes you look very sexy :!: I don’t like mint very much myself either.Keep up the good work Marina,with love and peace,thematrix75 :!: :cool: :smile:
Are you in Mint Condition?
Very nicely done. It’s amazing how many meanings a word can have. I wonder which English word holds the record for the most meanings?
Since I think I may be the only Biblical scholar in the group, I’d like to clear up a misconception, which is that the Bible says that ” money is evil”. I know you were joking, but many do actually believe that it says that.
1Ti 6:10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
This is actually the verse that gets misunderstood. Also, the word for ” all ” in this verse, in the Greek, does NOT mean it’s the ” absolute source ” of evil. The word in the Greek is better translated ” all kinds ( of evil)”. So it would better read…The LOVE of money, (not money itself) is the root, (or source), of all kinds of evil.
P.S. Love the outfit… nice classy, sexy look, and no i do not care for the taste of mint much myself, though I don’t mind a minty tasting tea.
I don’t think you are the only Biblical scholar here, unless you limit the word ‘scholar’ to someone attending a university class or classes in Biblical hermeneutics. I study the Bible every day. Anyone who has made reading the Bible part of a routine would already be familiar with the verse.
Which is exactly why I said ” I MAY BE “, and no , I do not limit the word “scholar” to someone that has studied the Bible, or for that matter any subject, in the context of university classes, though I myself studied it in that context. There are resources available today that allow people to study and become scholarly in just about any field of interest on their own. While anyone reading the Bible routinely would be familiar with that verse, not everyone MAY be familiar with koine greek, understanding that the word ” all ” written there doesn’t mean ” the all inclusive source of evil ” but rather meaning ” all kinds of evil. ” It’s nice to meet someone here that also reads and studies the Bible. Peace and grace!
