How about a Harlequin Romance?
Looks like you were practicing rug dancing in a shower stall.
Looks like a Polar Bear skin she probably killed while still in Russia. Possibly in Siberia, if Polar Bears live in Siberia.
There are Rugby League and Rugby Union sides in England called Harlequins. I always thought it was a weird name but never thought it would be after their unusual shirts!
Go to http://www.quins.co.uk to have a look. Their badge is exactly how you described. A clown with colourful diamond patterns on his shirt. The shirt the players wear for the team(s) are also similar. Google Images will probably show you this!
Yeah, one of their players was at the center of a massive fake blood scandal
I am watching YOU. I love these older videos. They are longer and as you said you look so innocent. I wish you would make more like this, longer and go back to your Mac camera for close up shots.
super, superstition and superb ….sheds light on cultural behavior, past and present
[smashing]…[riot]…hot and cute too…sleep tight and don’t let the flue bug bite…flew by the night and smoking flues to cure the sausage [BLUES]…[Druids]…big men
You look so hot in this episode. I learned in this episode that my favorite word is MARINA
Hot isn’t the right word, its more like insanely cute!!!
“Cuddly” came to mind.
Hey E.van: John Cale – Hallelujah…Marina is HotForWords
That demon mentioned reminds me of Odin.
Harley Quinn
lol… i don’t mean to be one of the people that spam you but as you may know how insanely cute this video is I couldn’t help myself. Wow when you just let the camera roll and you’re being yourself its hysterical and euphoric, I love it!
Coooooollllll!
I loved this lesson! My Favourite By Far! Thanks to pedantickarl for showing the link to this!
Harlequin…so awesome
I was even wondering for since I’ve been watching “What is Marina’s Favorite Word?”
And Lo and Behold Marina!
Wow ENCORE!
Your Student,
Thought On Fire
BTW PS I learned what my favourite word is VIA this lesson (Wooden)
2X PS I was wanting to research some Scandinavian Norse or Celtic Mythology tonight and then I came across this! Sweet!
Loool? This is a classic^^
wth…. you gonna hunt polar bears with that dog or something……..
Oh wait …you’re allready laying on it
lol .. i love the “i’m watching you” bit at the end.
or even a loymaxwell
puttogether
Gucci looks more like a harlowmaxwell
Really nice video, don´t jump into the screen next time, you jumped into my “fork”……what to do with the “eyeball” now ?
Another is preeclampsia, the quest for words never stops!!!
How old is Gucci, I have 6 dogs and I love them to death. What was it like growing up in Russia, and how long have you had an interest for words, did someone in your life inspire you?
I must say, I have been avoiding commenting on these older lessons while I go through them at my own pace, but it is truly fascinating to me that out of all of the words that might be the favorite of such a skilled, intelligent philologist, Marina chooses ‘harlequin’. I myself could never pick a favorite word (too many to choose from for me), but harlequin is definitely up there. Basically the same thing as a jester or a fool, but it sounds so much prettier.
Personally, I’d rate the word ‘troubadour’ up there with ‘harlequin’. Both sound quite colorful and describe interesting characters. Troubadour also has a lot of cool synonyms, like bard, skald, and minstrel. When it comes down to it, a troubadour and a harlequin would make a good team… in fact, i’ve seen quite a few harlequins open for troubadours in my lifetime. lol Also, if I am correct, troubadours and harlequins are usually wanderers, which makes them vagabonds. And the word ‘vagabond’ definitely rates among my favorites too. : )
Anyway, just throwing in my two cents worth before calling it a night. Thanks for covering the origin of another fascinating word, Marina. Fitting in one lesson a day (my own regimen) has proven to be a worthy endeavor. Cheers to Hot For Words once again!
p.s. And for those harlequin fans out there, this summer is going to have a major movie whose villain is sometimes known by the title ‘The Harlequin Of Hate’. It should be pretty easy to figure out who that villain is and what the movie will be, as it features one of the most popular fictional harlequin of our modern pop culture.
Check out the wish list!!!
Must be something new…S.O.U.L…many W_O_R_D_S…..know NO know GOOD…SPEAK_UP or O=U=T lol
