Sounds silly marina but where did the word potato come from
UR hot
Where did the word “frazzled”, as in “I got really frazzled by the intense traffic on my commute today”, come from?
The report cards sound like a wonderful idea!
HI MARINA, I AM FROM CHILE, SOUTH AMERICA, AND IS THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE THAT I LIKE TO LEARN ENGLISH WORDS.
I HOPE THAT YOU TEACH SPANISH WORDS IN THE FUTURE, MY NATIVE LANGUAGE.
THE WORD I LIKE TO REQUEST YOU IS “HAMBURGER” (THE FOOD)
SORRY BY MY ENGLISH, I AM LEARNING EVERY DAY WITH YOU, THANKS A LOT!!!!!
By some reasonable reason I’m inspired to learn and study russian it would be a good course to take for a north eastern mexican from Monterrey and also I think this is the only report card that I actually wait to receive jejejeje.
I want my report card
I love you marina, you are my favorite teacher!
I hope they come soon to my box
I love you marina!

What is the meaning of “PMB MC .1%ers”
i havent ever received one
I’ve been looking for a report card all year – haven’t seen but ONE. Must be that damn evil (fork) twin sister who has abandoned her website, huh? I guess with all the book deals, calendars, radio shows et al, this is just another loose end left to hang Why does this remind me of my flaky sister who fails to follow through? FYI – I have two sisters and the one who comes here as TwitTheGreat is aces and eights – A number one! Maybe Marina will send us out a Christmas card this year? …or not
Perhaps, when she describes sending out report cards “soon”, she means “in geologic time.”
history of the word tea
I haven’t ever gotten one and I’ve been a member for ages. D:
I suppose I’ll have to wait. Hope to get one soon, my favourite teacher.

Teacher, Where does the word Fabulous come from?

i always get A’s in school but its just a normal for me so i dont care anymore, so i hope i get an A+ 
<— mrgreen rulez
I have learned so much from your lessons, teacher. You have actually answered some questions that I have had for quite a while. No matter what MY grade is, I give you an A+, along with a heartfelt thanks.
Hi Marina sweetheart. You are the sweetest sexiest russian babe i know.
Teacher , I really don’t care what word you pick , cuz I just dig your
:lol An A+ is much desired

I have always wondered where the word “wonder” comes from, please help.
Oh, yes. That’s true for many of us as well.
And that’s not to mention being puzzled by the origin of “puzzle” or mystified about the origin of “mystery”.
Hi, I really like this web site, is very educational and interestinh to know the origins/meaning of some commonly used words; that, seems to be REALLY GREAT
to me.
.
With that point set up clear, I would like the origins/meaning of some words: music, adore, praise, worship, humble and sin.
I think it would be interesting to investigate some of/all these words.
Well, thanks a lot and I hope you can let me know what I’m expecting
i want to know more about the word exotic
I have been enjoying Marina and HotForWords. Your presentations on the derivation of common words in use today brings some hope that people are not limited to 400 word vocabularies. Thank you for spreading the words.
Hi,
I’d like to know more “Dog days”
Best regards septpssj
Man if my report cards bad, I’d have to hide it from my parents just like in high school!
Report Cards—Marina—maybe or anyway, I think if you produced a deck of cards, (with your sister) and you could exploit the pretty pictures of yourself. Then we would have portable cards to play with. Education and school and REPORTcards. Queen of hearts ect. Your lessons would take the next step. Ace to space. Work for sale. bees are good
I joined your site a few days ago, and my aunt found me on it; thinking it was porn. However, after I showed it to her we are both hooked on your videos, keep up the good work, love.
~JoE
I have a two thousand page dictionarey and I could not find a word for an intelligent and attractive person save; Marina. I thought that to be overly patronizeng and avoided it. The only other term for you TA aplication was “Lucky”.
G’day marina, i love the lessons, it’s true what they say, you learn something new everyday. You make it fun
Keep up the good work, and stay beautiful.

hello Marina, I’m Chinese and love this website “hot for words”very much. but my English is not good to understand all that you say. Then, I would like know if it’s possible to insert English legend on all diary hotforwords. So people around the world could follow well hotforwords explanations and improve English. You would become the most beautiful, sexy .please receive my good advice,thanks for you.
Hi HOT 4 WORDS,
i discovered you about 2 month ago ,,, (have watched many of your videos) i finally joined your site yesterday.
i look foward to future lessons.
if my teacher would have been as hot as you, i would have payed VERY close attention in school !!!
Sincerly yours,
CRAZY4FEET
Hello Marine, I do not understand what the letters, these are the videos I get in my e-mail?
Well, if a request je je ask if this is another kind of receipts.
A cordial greeting Evaristo.
sweet
Can you send them sooner
Can you send tjem sooner
When u will send me the report card please mention it in that i am handsome
Can i ask you one thing?How can you be so HOT?
how come people get their cards while others don’t? What about the new people who just joined?
I’m not sure about the spelling, but I was wondering where the expression “heebee geebees” comes from?
Dec
I’ve always wondered what does it mean when someone is “In the throes” of something, such as: “In the throes of passion” or “In the throes of ecstacy.” Where does that weird word “throes” come from?
Please, say: caravan
thanks
I know I’m new, but do i still get one too
Don’t count on it. I am unsure why some people get them while others do not. Maybe she was trying to personalize them too much and just got overwhelmed. It is just a cute gesture any way I suppose.
The value is in what is learned rather than the grade, or at least it should be.
Still no card…
Teacher is tardy.
So where are the report cards?
Yeah!!
I got my card… but… I want more!! 
Thank you very much, Marina… you’re the best teacher 
Oh, i got my card! It had gone to my spam folder, oddly enough. Thank you so much for the personal note attached. Me, too…
I know the pronuciation and meaning of “paradigm” but where does it come from.
hmmmm…i’m already a card…
Yeah! a jolly
joker
better ‘n a queen, for me…
A joker is a Wild card, right?
suits you
u fail
hearts…that’s my suit…
When is teacher assessment? Student’s aren’t the only one’s to get assessed.

OMG! i didn’t know i was going to recieve a report card??? what do i do know???? how do i tell my parents i couldn’t pass??
Haha. Report cards? Man, that is cool. I miss report cards.
NO report card. for me. I have been very bad. Maybe you need to come over and spank me!
You’re very busy, but it’s been nearly two months since you said that report cards would be coming out *soon* — do you plan on doing it, or is it nothing more than a ruse to hold our attention? It’s just annoying that they haven’t been released to us in a timely manner, that’s all.
If you read this, then thank you for, well, reading it. And I look forward to future lessons!
P.S. If this seems harsh, I apologize, but my patience is rather fleeting. Sorry.
I’m curious as to what is IN a report card. Are you really keeping tabs on us?…’cause im in HUGE trouble if you are!
Okay, I’m here to collect your locker key. You’ve been expelled for not doing your homework.
What? You don’t know where it is? That’s a $50 fine, pagedoll. Now come on, hand it over!
Alright! I’ll do my homework, but Im not giving my locker key! I won’t and I will not…you can’t me.
Hey, how do you know I haven’t been doing my home work? 
He’s got a peep hole and been watching.
When are we going to get them?
This is my Favorite Class
Do you grade on a curve?
Because I just started class last week, so I know I wont be able to compete with those whom have been on since the beginning.
Of course, I could end up being voted the most improved student after the next semester this way!
think hourglass (hyperbola)
no bell curves, please
I know you are a very busy woman, what with all the television appearances and the almost-daily philology lessons on youtube.com, but would you be so kind as to give us all a date of when you will post the report cards. It would be greatly appreciated, I’m sure, by all of your viewers to know.
Thanks for all the lessons,
desolation06
Sorry, I got to fix this real fast. The last sentence was supposed to be this:
“It would be greatly appreciated, I’m sure, if you were to let all of your viewers know.”
I look forward to future lessons!
Sincerely,

Dear Marina
Yesterday a saw your russian explanation about Molotov Cocktail with legend in english. Well, I’m brazilian and love this site but my english is not good to understant all that you say. Then, I would like know if it’s possible to insert english legend on all diary hotforwords. So people around the world could follow well hotforwords explanations and improve english. You would become the most sensual, sexy and intelligent teacher of the world.
I wish I had a teacher as hot as you when I was in high school

i would acutally also like to know the origin of it and why it is so bad…
Salve Marina
I would like to request the word Butterfly.
I assume its simple but i have little
experiance in the art of philology. I would
Truly appreciate a video or even a reply
Thanks Marina!
Your dear student,
Mike
Expressionism,
Look for the movies “Flutter by” and “Butterfly” — they were posted around April 1 — I hope you learn more about butterflies
You look sexy all the time … you’re the best teacher
My Dear Marina,
Where does the Word Russia come from, what does it mean?
It comes from the name of the original settlers of the area, a tribe called the Rus.

Marina, you look great.
Can you tell me the origins of the word ” AIR” as it has been used in Classical music as the title to songs/instrumental musical pieces? Thank you
nlsmafia2008
I’d like to request this word: Zombie, Vampire, Goul, Werewolf (or just -were part) and Ubiquitous too.
I like the reportcard idea of JD, I thought that I’d had to fill out a sort of exam actually.. but cheers for the idea.
Peace..
She already did werewolf, ghoul is an arabic word I believe and I requested zombie and vampire too, hopefully since we both requested them, she’ll do a video on it
She did werewolf already?
I thought I read the section where she lists words already requested. Now I’m doubting myself. Oh well, heh.
Yeah, would be interesting to hear where the word Zombie and/or Vampire originated from. I could go out researching myself – but then again, HotForWords would have one less show to entertain me/us with.
Nzumbe from the Senegalese?
report cards….great idea!
i love your channel!!
kisses!!…………
will you marry me hot for words?…i just know your the one..lol……love your channel…keep the good work up..
how do i apply for extra credit?
wow
it would be cool 
never the homework was so fun 
The report card system could be automated, say for instance like a Java applet. I know in many online colleges they do something like this to test one’s aptitude at a certain subject.
The answers could be multiple choice. However, many people may grab the dictionary to look up words and for a test, that would be cheating. This kind of ruins the idea of posting a top score, as everyone might be in the same place, unless you add a timer for each question; put a time limit on the different questions, thus giving the individual little time to thumb through the dictionary.
set up two profiles. get on one just to get the questions, and it doesn’t matter if you answer them. go look them up. then go to your real profile and get an A. the timed idea is still to easy to get around. im not trying to bash your idea, just trying to help you perfect it.
I missed my homework, can someone fill me in please?
What do we have to do to have to stay after class?
Report cads = fun & interesting project for you, HFW; it’s also another way to substantiate your whole show. For me, however, as one who never indends to do too well in this ‘class’, imagine what little horrors will be created every time I receive a little something reminding me that I’m not doing as well as…oh, well.
Again, a really cool video. This is one of my first comments, I like your videos because I like getting a chance to learn new and interesting words, and finding out where they started is always pretty cool as well. In that line, I will also be looking forward to your book! That all being said I have a word that I saw a while back that I am curious to the origins of.
The word is “wilkin” which I do believe means the sky. I was just curious about the entomology of that particular word. Keep up the great work!
I am in the same team of blackwolf!
I don’t ever want to pass this class (unless the teacher is change)
Then I guess we are the first two who are sitting in the very front of the class, take the best notes possible, doing the homework, and studying every inch of video (if you know what I mean), and still praying to fail this course. GIVE ME AN “F”!!!!! But I agree, if the teacher changes or there is a substitute, I’M PLAYING “HOOKIE” (there is a word for ya!).
Hey Marina, since you teach a class, you are sending out a report card, and I know that “F” stands for FAIL, what do the other letters of a grade stand for? Hell, if you want, you can make up your own meanings using the letter grades. Also, you should use the song “HOT FOR TEACHER” on your videos. Sorry that is the television production in me!!!!
Luvs
Great reference to the Country Joe MacDonald “Fish Cheer!”
When I was in public school, they didn’t use “F” for a regular letter grade. So the only way to get an “F” was to fail at a course that had been designated pass/fail only such as driver ed (in K-12 these courses were extremely rare). Our grades were typically only A through E and I will admit that I received a few “E” grades, especially in penmanship.
(”F!”) gimme a “U” (”U!”) gimme a “C” (”C!”) etc. etc.
*slips Teacher a shiny apple.
since we are on the subject of phrases. i want to know where did the phrase “eat your heart out” come from? did it have anything to do with st valentines day or is it more sinister and macabre than that? i would really appreciate your welcomed knowledge my dear teacher.
HI MARINA:
My Marina says “Priviet.” Many years ago, before I met my wife, I was dating a woman from Britain who would tell me that I was “the bees knees.” What the hell does this mean?
It’s the same as “cat’s pajama’s”.
Pretty Cool.
haha both of those phrases are on the movie the school of rock
I like the idiom “the whole nine yards”
+5 Thanks again.
Hi Marina
Idioms are fascinating and fun.
Americans say “dressed to the nines” or “dressed to kill”.
What are comparable expressions in Russian?
It would be great if you did a lesson like, “When English speakers say Drunk as a Skunk, a Russian might say (the literal translation).”
Idiomatic language is regional in the USA. When I have travelled to different parts of the country, I have heard expressions that made no sense to me except for the context, and even then I wasn’t exactly sure what the speaker was expressing, but I was embarrassed to ask.
Have you ever heard someone say, “You are the cat’s meow!”
“You are the cat’s meow” means the same thing as “You are the cat’s whiskers.”
This cat and mouse game may have you behaving like a scaredy fat cat on a hot tin roof fighting with some dogs. I’ll have the last laugh and be grinning like a Cheshire cat, because the cat got your tongue? I don’t mean to pry, since we know curiosity killed the cat. That cat doesn’t have a cat’s chance in hell to survive. Cat’s have nine lives, though, so maybe he’ll be looking like the cat who got the cream after all. I don’t want to let the cat out of the bag now, but it’s raining cats and dogs. If I don’t get inside I’m going to look like something the cat dragged in. Don’t be a scaredy cat. After all you are like a cat among the pigeons. There may be more than one way to skin a cat, but that doesn’t help because there isn’t room in here to swing a cat! So let’s just wait and see which way the cat jumps up.
Anyway, as they say, when the cat’s away, the mice will play (no offense to Marina’s mouse Arnold, who is playing whether the cat is here or not).
My report card for HotForWords has to be 5 stars, and for you Marina you get a ten. Chief
I think it would be cool if the report cards were based on actual performance.
Maybe, you could post an exam or something?
Wow! What a GREAT idea JD! Must look into that!
I know you’re super busy…
If only you had a twin who could help…
Wait a minute, you do…
Or is she still upset at you for cursing?
Hi Marina.I like that idea.! that would be fun.but you would have to have some sort of computor program to grade them all,it would take you months if you were to review all of them yourself.I cant wait.Bye
P.S.Im going to do some research,but i think you have the largest class room in the world?
Also one of the least well-behaved!!!
Marina,
I pray I fail the course, just so I can take this class all over again! And again. And again…etc!!!

How about thingamajig.
How about the origins of the Name Bugs Bunny, I have heard some references, of my good Bunny friend, to being flush with cash, or as we all know from gangster flicks “crazy” or bugsy. What I want to knoe is where the “1st adult cartoon” Charactor got his name?
Thanks and keep spreading the word
BV
Bugs got his name because the guys who created him were said to be crazy or bugsy. or it could be becuase the name of the building he was created in was called “Termite Terrace”. Termites=bugs. thats what i always heard
