Hm, I don´t know what to say, it always ends up on saying “nice one”.
The problem is that I want to say something…..hum…..
My comments won´t be the best ones, but people told you already “don´t let the dogs out, hold em down”
(d*** I´m a little drunk at the moment, though I don´t get along with alcohol….back to my studies…)
Hey tedt, what time zone are you in? It’s only 18:45 in Europe. You started early. If you’re in EST, congrats. If it’s PST, wow
Europe !!! I thought it was such a nice day, so I grabbed a beer (or two….) and now it ends up in a disaster….”sort of”
.
I don´t drink all day, I was just happy today…….
Cool tedt!
PS: If you think 18:45 is early then wait until I get to the Martini lesson, there I can tell you something about Russians and alcohol
.
. I won´t tell a lot but some small parts.
I think I already got a Doctor in “Vodka sessions” by hanging out with some old friends
They all made it…..nobody left behind….it was a nice time
.
Dans ce clip, tu es époustouflante, éclatante, pas de blague…..tu me tues, tu me blesses…. c’est plutôt ta figure et tes yeux étincelants m’envoûtent…. ta beauté me trouble…. et ta chevelure dont j’imagine le parfum le plus enivrant…quelles bêtises je t’ai écrit
Hello, Marina
one phrase that doesn’t really make sense is:
“The alarm clock went off at 6:00am”, when really it’s going on.
Marina,
A word whose meaning has totally changed from its’ original meaning is CARNIVAL. Give it your best shot.
Señor Mike
Okay Marina, here’s one that always gets twisted around…
“You can’t have your cake and eat it too.”
You can have your cake and eat it, what you can’t do is eat your cake and have it too.
I was honestly thinking it had to do with something sexual, if it’s “heels over head” think about it for a moment. That’s really the only thing that makes sense to me, considering it has to do with “love”. Either way I’m sure you’ll have a great Christmas…. I mean…. never mind
Wow, you’ve said it all
buzzword
I think this one might be a variation of “love you until death” or “love you til death” if anyone else knows more, correct me if I’m wrong
I have an interesting one. This one originated when I started to learn German, and our teacher said “be quiet bubies” (buben means boys in German). I was wondering the origin of the word boobs to how we know it as the female breast. does this have any correlation?
embarrassing yes, but I’m just curious because the two words don’t sound very similar.
Hi Marina -
Good job as usual!
Here is my homework. Sayings that don’t make sense include:
“a basket case” (someone who is crazy is a “basket case?” Why???)
“as all get-out” (why is someone who is beautiful as beautiful “as all get out?” For example, “Marina is as beautiful as all get-out.”)
“as drunk as a skunk” (are skunks really drunk, or do they just act that way? Huh)
“as clean as a whistle” (since whistles are constantly being blown by people using their mouths… are they really all that clean?)
for the “clean as a whistle” phrase, if a whistle gets too dirty on the inside, it’s doesn’t work as well or even at all. So people who work with whistles need them too be as clean as possible, or “clean as a whistle”
For some reason I couldn’t post my homework in the “muscle or mouse” section – so this comment gives you some eponym body parts:
Adam’s apple
artery of Adamkiewicz
Broca’s convolusion (see “Broca’s Brain”)
These are some “interesting” ones….
Buck’s fascia
Frankenhauser’s ganglion
canal of Nuck
Pawlik’s triangle
here’s a good phrase “catch 22″
thanks for the chance to respond

How about “hot water heater?” Why would you need to heat hot water? Shouldn’t it be a “cold water heater?”
Charlie
Dear Marina,
I just enjoy watching your videos sooo much!
I was wondering about the origin of the phrases to “pay attention” and to “pay respects” – aren’t these verbs/actions? How do we “pay” them? Please help clarify these for us viewers out there
Great video, but what else is new… You always seem to do 5 star work!
I noticied that you have not done any words that start with Z, so here is my word request. I think ZEUGMA would make a nice addition to your word list and the vocabulary of your viewers. Thanks.
Well hello there,Marina!
Your videos are absolutely fabulous…Here’s my request:
What is the origin of the word,”transmission”? Thanks…Pinky
Hi Marina,
How about the word internecine???
Please investigate the word “celestial” as it relates to the heavens above.
hi there I would like to know the origin of the word Angelic
Marina, I have a word for you to study up on.
“Love”
Such a powerful thing, yet no one seems to have requested it yet…it is simple yet so complicated. How did this powerful feeling get associated with this word?
I would “love” to hear what you find out on the word, though truthfully as long as I keep seeing your beautiful face in these videos, I’ll be a happy man.
great lesson, how about the word bologna, you know the meat. Pronounced balonie or something like that
State-of-the-art means the highest level of development, as of a device, technique, or scientific field, achieved at a particular time.
Where did that phrase come from? If we break down and analyze the words “art” and “state” separately they do not explain remotely what they mean when placed together.
Thanks
kk
“state” is used in the sense of, “state of mind”, or “altered state” and is synonymous with “condition” or “level”. “Art” is used in the sense of referring to a craft or practice, not the product of such practice, i.e.- ” I hung some art on my wall”. Given this, “State-of-the-art” aptly conveys its meaning as, “level of craft” or “condition of the practice”. You’re correct in observing that nowhere does the phrase imply that that standard is high, but, as with so many turns of phrase, the meaning is in the mind of the speaker; So we can have, “My new bike is state-of-the-art!” or, “The state of the art of genetics is in it’s infancy.”
Most of us have used a hot water heater. Why is it called a hot water heater? Why would we have to heat hot water? It would already be hot wouldn’t it? We need the device to heat COLD water therefore it should be a cold water heater. Where did that idea come from?

Hi Marina…..have another saying for you…where does the statement “LOVE YOU TO DEATH”….come from…..
frankk
Just a guess, it could be similar to the nuptial vow, “… till death do us part.” As in I will love you until death. Unless your a stalker. Then, “… love you to death” becomes a threat and punishable by law.
Ah, but love is a many splintered thing. Or is it splendored thing. As for the origin of the phrase, it comes from the heart and often ends in court.

I remember hearing a teacher say the phrase “same difference” instead of same thing, and I never understood that one.
This might be a regional thing. I find people from Michigan say “kitty corner” instead of “catacorner”
come to mean being drunk?… thanks for your help
I have question: If a dozen means twelve things, then why is a “baker’s dozen” thirteen things? I don’t understand. Thank you for your help!!
A baker’s dozen numbers 13 so that the baker can sample the quality of the batch, yet still have an even dozen to sell.
I heard that it was because the cakes crumbled that they put an extra one in so the customer knew he was getting all he paid for.
I know that the soldiers in the military say the phrase, “Good to Go!”

how about the origin of “he let the cat out of the bag” ??
Thanks, love the site.
I have always heard letting the cat out of the bag is an old sailor expression for someone about to get flogged. It literally referred to the Bosun taking the cat of nine tails out of the bag it was stored in. I always figured its current meaning comes from the fact that if someone let a secret slip about something bad, the cat was about to be brought out of the bag.
