Titillate

What is the origin of this word?

And does it have anything to do with a slang word that is similar to it?

    Marina, actually the word “tete” in french means to suckle, like when a baby feeds from his mommy’s breast. In slang french it also means to “suck up” like to your boss. :smile:

  2. Seems like nipple or teat are a more specific area than breast :???:

  3. ag93grad says: 134

    This looks like a dead thread but I know another term I found while looking for something entirely different. It is ‘bobbi-stand’ which is Ghana for perky breast. (http://www.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/dictionary/dict_b.php) It has come in handy a time or two.

  13. One guy was planning to go to Pittsburgh and went to purchase tickets at the ticket counter. He went up to the counter to purchase the tickets. When he got to the counter, he noticed the the ticket lady had a pair a very large breasts. He couldn’t keep his mind off them. Trying to ask for the tickets, he mistakenly said, “I’d like two tickets to Tits-burg, please.” As soon as he said this, he realized his mistake and, going red, hurried back to a priest he saw who was waiting to get change. When the first guy explained his problem, the priest smiled and said, “Don’t worry son, the pleasure of the flesh have no hold on me.” The priest went off to purchase the tickets for both of them. When he got to the ticket counter he smiled and said, “I’d like two tickets to Pittsburgh, please.” With a satisfied smile for wording it correctly, he added, “And may I have two nipples for this dime?” Oops.

  14. Tomatoes, mellons, jugs, hooters, boobs, headlights, air bags, ha-has, just to name a few.

    Also what is the origin of “Honey Pie”? … as in … Marina, will you be my honey pie?

    Send a kiss to … Gwillikers. xoxox

    (Oh … and when did “xoxoxox” become “hugs and kisses?)

  19. ramirosol says: 116

    Hi Marina,
    Without sounding too vulgar, but where does the word “dick” come from to refer to a man’s penis since we’re talking about tits and all?

  20. The speckled area around the nipple on a woman’s breast is called an areola….does this in fact refer to the “area” around the nipple, or does it simply have a whole new area or shade of meaning all by itself?

  30. hdvideo says: 104

    Titillate is right.

    You have to show your tits in 99.9% of every video because that is your whole marketing plan. Showing that you were a stripper, hooker, call girl, escort or porn star.

    So pathetic that you must show your fake tits in all videos.

    • WTF? :evil:

      hdvideo, why don’t you sing us the “ABC’s of Love”? :twisted:

    • OOOoooh. I think there’s an error of 0.01% in your calculation, there. But that’s probably just one of those little itty bitty oversights we make when we’re consumed by a jealous rage or something, no worries…

      • Ah well no error and Nope, no jealous, rage. And the or something? That is what I already stated. It is so pathetic that Marina must show her fake tits in all videos.

      • hdvideo seems to think that if a woman HAS tits that she’s “showing” them. I mean – women have to wear really baggy clothes to not have their tits visible, at least in terms of general size and shape. Hdvideo wants women to wear Muslim burkhas or mu-mus, to make sure their natural shape is not shown. That way he won’t be enraged by the female form.

    • hdvideo,

      I suggest that it might be a good exercise to start your own blog. When your site has more hits than hers, you’ll be able to speak with some authority when you tell us all why it might be better for her to change her style.

      Calling her fans stupid jack-offs won’t change much except how you are perceived by others. Some people prefer to make friends, crack jokes, and share word origins. But that’s your choice.

      Bottom line, you’re posting on her site. She doesn’t have to display your message, or mine, if she chooses not to. We only get to have this communication by the grace of her welcome alone.

      Personally, I’m grateful for the forum. If my earlier comment was an incorrect assessment, I apologize.

      Nice to hear from you, hdvideo. Be well.

    • Well, I don’t think Marina has ever denied that her beauty is part of her marketing plan. Her site is called “Hot For Words,” which sort of seemed like a fair hint to me. She is, by any measure, “hot” and she is also “hot” for words, meaning she loves words. Her plan seems to me to be related to the “hot for teacher” type thing, where students crazy about their teacher.

      However, beyond that, your post betrays an inability to think rationally or logically. Somehow, you have concluded that Marina’s persona and use of her physical appearance makes her a “stripper, hooker, call girl, escort or porn star.” Nothing Marina has done indicates that she ever did those things (not that it would matter to most if she had).

      You seem to believe that since she has had breast augmentation that she was once a stripper, hooker, call girl, etc. By that logic, so was Demi Moore and myriad other actresses in Hollywood, as well as many hundreds of thousands of women in conventional professions around the world. Women get breast implants for a variety of reasons, most of which have nothing to do with engaging in stripping, etc. In fact, the vast majority of women who have implants – probably in excess of 98% – have never engaged in stripping, much less the other professions you’ve listed.

      Your post sounds quite hateful and misogynistic, and combined with your other attacks on Marina you come across as someone who is very angry with the fairer sex, almost to the point of hateful of them. Has your heart been broken too much? Been rejected by beautiful women?

      • Yawn, prospero811 well I suppose we should all feel sorry for Marina because she was unhappy with the breasts that she was born with. Therefore she had to have a augmentation done that was not due to having cancer but rather wanting to appear like a “…….”.

        Interesting, you must be the second Hot for Words employee of the month, Yawn.

      • Who’s yawning loudest here, hdvideo?

        WE ARE—at your pusillanimous rantings!

        Besides, where’s your hall pass, biggin?

    • By the way, she’s never “shown her fake tits” in any video, unless you’re aware of one that the rest of us haven’t seen. She is always clothed. Her anatomy is her anatomy and unless she wears a burkha or mu-mu it would be very difficult for her to conceal her size. I suppose she could bind her breasts, like in Victorian times, so that others don’t see them quite so prominently.

      When women go to the beach, are they doing something improper by wearing bikinis? Are they strippers? Marina is always wearing more than a bikini in her videos.

    • Who said anything about feeling sorry for her? First, we have no idea whether or not she was “happy” with the breasts she was born with. She may have been perfectly happy with them, but felt for other reasons that she wanted or needed to augment them. Second, she may have been unhappy with them and had the means to augment them and therefore be happy – since she’s not hurting anyone, there doesn’t appear to be any good reason for her to go through life unhappy.

      Third, she doesn’t look like a stripper or a hooker. She looks like a stunningly beautiful woman. I’ve seen a lot of strippers, and it is the RARE one that looks as good as Marina does. Most of them look beat up and tired.

      Fourth, nobody is asking you to “feel sorry” for anyone else. None of this has anything at all to do with you. You aren’t the center of the universe.

    • Oh, and as for your second comment, lots of people have lots of reasons for taking Marina seriously. I love her lessons. They are fun. They are educational. I always use them as an opportunity to learn about the word she’s talking about, learn a little bit about etymology in general, and usually some history as well. In addition to that, I get to see Marina, who will make someone a very lucky guy some day, if not already.

    • Wrong, hdvideo. I’m not working for Hot For Words or Marina – I don’t know her, or anything about her other than what can be found on this website.

      However, I do like this website. Posts like yours are also a pet peeve of mine. That’s why I responded to you.

      As an aside – if I was working for HFW, that would not make my comments any less valid and yours any less ridiculous.

      • p811, I don’t think hdvideo is a person, but rather a virus! :eek: :eek: :eek:

        :mrgreen:

      • hey prospero811 – wow! just catching up with lessons, whats with vid dude? I think he could do with some extra tuition!
        Quite funny tho in how a pair of baby food feeders can cause such termoil. Well said in any case.

        Hopefully Vid dude will be able to face facts, move any moutain, peak in knowledge and well being, turn his headlights on and not make too many boobies again. I know, i’m not really funny, probably making a right tit out of myself in the process of writing all this, could become a real handfull. Could get busted and look a real Melon, so I’m gone!

        …. :smile:

      • Copy that, prospero811,

        Good arguments, well-delivered and very even-handed! And hdvideo’s remarks certainly ARE ridiculous.

        Wordlover hit a nerve there asking whether (s)he was the lonely man or the fat, ugly, lonely woman wishing she could look as good as (Marina). If the former, pity where pity is due; if the latter, then this is the most projected conversation she’s had with a man in quite a significant stretch. Likewise, pity is applicable. At least that’s my take on it.

        The first reply (to WL) is a dead giveaway, where she says “that is as close to a woman as you will ever get.” No man in his right mind would make such a bonehead remark. Based on whose measurement? Another man’s? Nah. It doesn’t add up.

        Regardless, she has every reason to continue blithering as long as it gets her noticed. You better count the goats in your fold, I think she has a few of yours. In fact, I think she likes you! :wink: “Prospero” implies a wealthy and successful man, no? I smell sequel!

        So don’t miss her too much, she’ll be back.

    Dear teacher,

    Ma’am, can you please tell us the meaning of the word, “Coquettish”?? I think it may have an interesting origin. My friend says he has a fetish for girls who are coquettish. I have never known what he meant by this ryhme.

  48. wow, there are a lot words for breasts already posted except i havent seen the term made famous by Frank zappa “mammalian protuberances” from the joes garage album the wet tee shirt contest.

    I would like it very much, dear teacher, if you could expound on the topic of when it is appropriate to use the term “whom” . I find it to be mis-used constantly and am confused myself .

  52. Hi Marina,

    What happened to the “Mayday game/ Emergency” vid? I could have sworn I just watched it but it’s not even listed in the lessons. What’s up? Did you have to pull it for some reason, or was I just dreaming? Am I looking in the wrong place?

    Maybe a poltergeist? Weird.

  53. I would like to request for you to educate us students on the word ‘bogus’.

  54. luigi787 says: 78

    what is the origin of french kiss

  55. Love your videos! I’m learning to speak Russian and I understand that is your first language. There are several words in Russian that are directly related to English words. For instance, although “flag” is pronounced more or less the same, it looks very different in Cyrillic! Other words like this that I can think of quickly are park, brat, nose, lemon, toilet, airport, salad, dragon, tiger, and baggage. I’m sure you can think of many much better examples! Anyways a lesson or two comparing Russian words with English words and showing what they look like in Cyrillic might be fun/interesting. A whole series aimed at teaching Russian would be awesome, but the audience for such a series might not be large enough to justify the effort.

    Also, a funny thing I noticed while watching South Park is that the word “chef” in English looks a lot like the word for snow in Russian. (If you erase the lower bar of the F on Chef’s apron it would appear to say “snow” in Russian.)

    • wordlover says: 77.1

      «флаг» = flag, of course.
      but «брат» = brother.

      СНЕГ for snow. or СНЕҒ, if it had a voiced velar fricative (i.e., /ɣ/).

      Кириллица—превосходная!!!!!

  62. I would like to suggest that you review the word “conundrum”. Like titillate, it seems to suggest something altogether different. I’m learning so much from you…You are my favorite teacher.

  64. tch1010 says: 67

    Marina,

    I have a couple of phrases for you. Where did the expression ‘up the creek without a paddle” come from :???:

    Also, when you hit the nerve in your elbow and it hurts people say that you hit your “funny bone.” I don’t think that it is funny or a bone. It is actually a painful nerve.

    Thanks

    • geronimo says: 67.1

      The bone at your elbow is the Humerus, which sounds like humor so it is called the funny bone for that reason, not for the pain you feel when you bump the ulnar nerve that is located there.

  65. tch1010 says: 66

    Marina,

    You are deliciously charming!!!

    I prefer the term “bodacious tatas.”

    “I can’t say titmouse without giggling like a schoolgirl” – Homer Simpson.

    Does this mean people once tickled birds? Or was the bird well-developed in the frontal zone?

  74. Xyvius says: 57

    Ok, while I do find your appearance exceptionally titillating :oops: , I am tired of all the sex related words. Other than its effect on your hit counter I bet you are as well. :roll:

    But I am interested in the origin of the word ‘edifice’. While I know its meaning and use it regularly, I am ignorant of its source. So please enlighten me.

    Thanks in advance,

    Hi. I’d like to request the word “troll”. With it’s duality – a noun & an adjective, and relevance in today’s new media world, it is an interesting word.
    2nd request if the first is lame: the word “Word”
    Thanks. You rock.

  95. thedragon says: 33

    Wow you really opened the can on this one didn’t you Marina. Well here goes melons, jugs, milk makers, cheches (spanish), knockers, jumbles, to just name a few.
    I also have a word for you, it is Math. What did that word come from?

    Love
    The Dragon

  96. Hi Marina,
    I would like to know the origin of the word “smith” as in blacksmith or goldsmith.
    How does this relate to the word “wright” as in woodwright or boatwright?
    And what about the word “jack”, as in lumberjack and the phrase, “…jack of all trades, master of none.”?
    All three words seem to identify tradesmen. Are they synonymous, or did they at one time distinguish between different skills that have since become obsolete in the age of industrialism?

    Oh, I almost forgot. In Polish, they’re called “cycki”

    Well, a good spot to jump-off, good timing personally also–big relocation in progress. This World’s chock-full of titillating, the rarer’s to intrigue. Personality (etc.) will always beat looks by a factor greater than 10 : 1. The draw to HFW is personality & words–sure the girl too; but, I’ve seen enough ‘doorknobs’ (<—still did homework) and love parties and really love funny just, maybe, feel a need to graduate. Very hard act to balance I guess, but I bet Marina will get it right.

    I’m sure,

    • So now we know that tit originated from teat, but how did it get there?

    • So now we know that tit originated from teat, but how did it get there? Well there was Texas farmer who was out milking his cow one morning, squeezing the teats, just milking the cow. Well he finished up his milking chores and headed to the house and upon opening the back door could Hear his 6 week old son just raising a ruckus. Ma ,he called whats wrong with little Timmy. Oh he’s just hungry she says, where upon he says “well stick a teat in his mouth and shut him up….Well there he was sleeping in the pig pen for the next three days. Ma yelling and screaming something about calling her a cow or some such thing. Telling him he needed to get a mens dictionary or some such thing. Well after these three days ma finally decided that he could come back in the house, but only after doing the chores. Well he finishes up his chores and heads to the house and again hears Timmy crying…. Ma whats wrong with Timmy. He’s hungry she says. Well put a te ugh err feedbag on him and shut him up. What do you think i am a horse, yells ma…..Well You guested it, out to the chicken coop this time, the pigs wouldn’t let him back in the pen with them because he just stank to bad. Well this got him thinking, you know anytime i mention feeding Timmy , Ma just thinks i’m calling her some kind of large animal. So off to town he goes to see what he can find out. Well after finding no help at the local saloons he heads over to the local bookstore looking for anything that deals with infant feeding. Not finding anything of this nature his eyes did see a little old book on birds laying on a shelf. Looking closer he sees picture a bird called a Tit. Well what You know its just some kind of small bird. Well he buys the book and heads to the house, Sure enough as he’s walking up the path he can hear Timmy crying. Stepping through the front door Ma yells “I didn’t say you could come back in yet. But Ma he says look here at this book I bought you, see this little bird , its just like you, all small and pretty, just like the day we got hitched. Oh Henry she says you so sweet. Well ma will you go put a Tit in Timmy’s mouth and get him to shut up Please? Sure Says Ma and off she goes to take care of Timmy. Gosh that worked really well. So from then on when the farmer heard the tales of other farmers, down at the saloon having similar problems with their women folk, he would tell them what he had done. Well this worked so well that soon every man was telling his friends and neighbor about this Tit method that it soon became a method of common knowledge all across the states. And thats how a teat became to be know as a tit
