    I would like to know the origin of the word “love” since i have fallen in love with Marina! :wink: :wink:

    I would like to know the origin of the word “hooray” as in “hooray for beer” for example….. but I am especially curious why it is sometimes preceded by “hip-hip” as in “hip-hip hooray!” What do you think….. is it worth investigating?

    Your student, Charlie.

    I have one more word to ask you to look up, marina. Why are certain priests called “monks”? It sounds like the beginning of “monkey”. What is the origin of the word?

    After watching your vedios, I look closely on every word that I write, hear, or read. Why? :shock: Why, “WHY”?

  11. dewjedi on January 28th, 2008 6:43 am

    I would like to request the work “MUG”
    Why does this word have at least three meanings? and are they related?

    1) Someone’s face can be called a “mug” (mug shot) or he has an ugly mug.
    2) A kind of cup: “mug” of coffee
    3) To rob someone (attack with intent to steal for a person): Like the old man was “mugged” on the street for his watch.

    Thanks,
    DW :grin:

  13. nighteye on January 28th, 2008 5:03 am

    Hello Marina, I have several word requests:

    1. Is there a connection between “loco” and “locomotion”?

    2. How did “Double Dutch” come t be associated with unintelligible speech? Are we Dutch really that bad?

    3. What’s the origin of the word “boobs”? Does it have anything to do with “balloons”, which sounds similar?

    Hi Marina, I’ve got a word request…I’m not a fan of the stuff, but I would like to know the origin of the word “pornography”…..I’ve been having a little debate with some friends and we can’t seem to agree, so will you put this debate to an end?

    Here are a few that might be interesting:

    Deader than a doornail
    Bone to pick with you
    Feel the wind, and wind the spring [why two pronunciations?]
    Boot, loot, shoot….foot [pronounced fut] why don’t boot and foot rhyme?
    Colder than a witch’s tit [um, why are those particularly cold?]
    warm the cockles of your heart [what's a heart cockle?]

  23. nico4169 on January 27th, 2008 12:33 pm

    Your love for philology shows through in your dedication. Keep up your excellent efforts, my dear. Oh yes…your playfulness with the cleavage is a very nice touch to the videos.

    I heard you say mention to the longest word and here it is, Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis. Please elaborate; I learned how to say this word in the 4th grade, but what in the heck is it and where did it come from?
