    Word games with history. History with word games. Language is name calling. Name calling is language. Pointing me to give you that. Xmas is every day. :razz:

    Marina,

    Thank you so much for the card :) Very cool way to brighten the holiday season. Great job on the vids. Some of the origins are really interesting.

    Have a great Holiday Season and a very Happy New Year!

    BTW, what is the origin of ‘yule’ such as with yuletide and yule log?

    Your YouTube videos are fascinating, and so are you! Just got the Christmas card email. Wow!!! You really should be on cable/satellite TV or PBS orsomething. Bill Nye the Science guy has nothing on you! Get an agent if you don’t have one would be my best advice other than give your life to Jesus of Nazareth if you never have. He’s the way, and the truth, and the life!!!! That’s my area of expertise. I have a degree in religion. Keep up the excellent work. And ple-e-ease try to get work in real television!

    Is this the place to post the origin of names? If so, …. my first name is Stacy, which is an English derivation of the Greek name Anastasia, from which we also get the English name Anna or Anne. The Greek word means “return from death” or “resurrection.” (I’ve had enough close-calls myself, so the name is very fitting for me, I think). The name is traceable to St. Anastasia, a 3rd Century A.D. Serbian saint who was martyred in the very last Roman persecution of Christians under Emperor Diocletian. (The next Emperor, Constantine, adopted Christianity as the Roman state religion, effectively ending the long practice of feeding Christians to lions. — ouch!) She was known as a potion expert, herbalist, and venom-antidote concocter, so perhaps she got the name Anastasia from her abilities to bring snake-bite victims back from (near-)death.

    Is it okay to do the “investigating” for you? If not, then pretend I just asked for where my name comes from! in any event, I admire your podcasts, especially your keeping things focused on Words, and the idea (that I totally subscribe to myself) that you can be a hot chick and be intelligent and educated without compromising your hot-ness! :)

    :grin: Marina, I know this is about english language but I have been telling a lot of friends about you ’cause our first language is not english and questions about the origin of some english words are hard to avoid, that’s why: good job!!! thx for explaining what some people think that “it’s always been like that!” (and, I can’t wait to get the christmas card!)

    :arrow: I was checking out the website and noticed that it said, and I quote, “Not your typical philologist :-) .” But that is wherein the problem lies, because I know not of any other philologists so I am just going to have to believe you on that. You are officially the number one person, HotForWords, on my list of Renegade Philologists :!: , and actually now that I think of it, you are also number one on my list of Philologists :!: , not just on my list of Renegade Philologists. So way to you, I must say. :!:
