This is an appropriate subject for Marina =] I vote for a or b. Women like Marina and hotforprofits make me respect blonds a lot more tbh. She looks like a duck there at the end though lol
there is an error. lonja is not what you said. ans slice in spanish could be said said “loncha”. ham is cold “jamos” so or you are in a mistake or that is a fake answer
lonja is a place were the fish are sold when they come from the ships.
What is the origin of the word kiss kiss means to barely or lightly touch, kiss this means that your lips touch another person. for example: kissing in public & is illegal in the country of india based on laws that govern relationships kiss ass is slang meaning to be obsequious; fawn I think that means to be favor someone highly as a means of getting their way over others kiss off is slang meaning to reject, dismiss, ignore, give up, denounce kiss (a bite sized chocolate) kiss (a sugar cookie) kiss (a toffeelike confectionary) kiss in the game of billards, means the slight touch of one ball to another Also to blow a kiss to use eye contact & showing the significant other your lips while then blowing in their general direction (a “kiss”) kiss also means to make a smack sound with your lips as if they had touched another (this is only the case when you use eye contact with another person) also it is the act or instance of kissing
Nice one……. come on Marina can we have a video on kissing please ?
Hard hitting use of smileys………..Shucks my sunglasses are in the car xxx
I love you can you give us kiss
Marina, дорогой учитель, I’m curious to know: what are some of the common expressions and colloquialism’s that American and Russian cultures have in common? What do you like best about being in America and what do you miss the most by not being in Russia?
Dearest Marina
I have been watching this website for a month now but only subscribed today because I finally decided that I wanted to be part of the fun.
You seem to attract only the most knowledgeable jolly persons who try to share the benefits of each other’s wisdom because they have 2 common interests. No offensive guys you normally have to endure on youtube but a highly educated multinational group of men and women that have been snared by your obvious charms
It’s fantastic.
Last time I saw theG4 introduction video I was really impressed.
Consequently and subsequently I have seen all of your lessons and feel that I know you better ,and therefore wish you well.
Today I watched the introduction video on HFW youtube channel ID again and I wept like baby for 30 minutes …on my kids life.
I have just one thing to say to Marina shaking like a leaf with emotion and tears running down my face onto my keyboard
GO BABY GO !!!!!
You sound truely moved. Curious as to the “2 common interests. ” you were refering to??
Cover your keyboard, You almost made me spill my tea onto mine too. Why did you wait to subscribe? If you were realy vicious you’d be in there early & often. Just curious why you waited
You say no offensive guys… heck hang around a while, you’re sure to get offended or at least misunderstood & cause offence. It’s all good though. Merry Christmas http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=FRvoChwdr88
Welcome!
Nothing fishy about it at all. i wanted to observe
I really was moved Marina is the most beautiful and intelligent witty lifeform that ever walked this earth ,
I wish her well, and cry and shake with the excitement of her blatently impending success which I believe me has barely even started.
The 2 common interests are our passion for words and admiration of Marina what else could they be
I answered your “deer” riddle over there.
I too have been emotionally moved posting here at the website, been angry, sad, melancholy, ticked, & enjoyed good music links. A whole different dimension that didn’t exist a few years ago. Is it real? I’m older than most here, so I didn’t really think a lot about this dimmension before, although other dimmensions I have contemplated.
I did’t mention the happy or laughing emotions, I didn’t really have a passion for words as some here seem too but there are some excellent writers in my family of whom I’m a tad jealous. So I try to write & be understood & while I relate stuff from my life I realize that my life wasn’t as boring as I thought, & HFW.com is not boring unless I go on&on…
So that being said I laugh with you & weep with you & wish Marina all the success that is due & with the lessons taught & learned may she find peace in her soul & not compromise the integrity that shines through in what she shares with us. ‘nuf said…
Welcome to the fold Tiger; maybe you can help keep the wolves from the door.
Are you any relation to Sid Vicious?
I think Marina likes the Sex Pistols; at least she was wearing one of their T-shirts in a video a long time ago.
Thanks for the welcome Bob
Really nice to meet you
What species are you and do you bite ?
I have been watching this site and your emails for absolutely yonks …well 2.37 yonks actually only just decided to join the fun now.
You have a very distinctive gravatar
No sorry vicious is purely coincidental.
I am the eldest quintruplet of Little Squirt of the WaterPistols
I am a Siberian Gamster (we use g sound as h in Russia)
And I am a Gangster that has a vicious image to protect.
I can’t pun any or your words because this is a family site. Kids want to learn too.
You certainly make a first impression!
I’m guessing you already know about
the word list and the 158+ videos.
If you need links, just ask.
I feel you; on the Heroes catharsis;
cutting edge social workshop.
Uhh..bathrooms down the hall
if you want to clean up.
You may be sensitized at some
level us mongo-men types
see as “too deep”. The movie
“Bedazzled” comes to mind.
Brendan Frazier portrays the
extreme example of sensitivity.
Don’t Panic! We can help you
get through this, and beef up
your word-origin confidence.
Sorry, I can’t do it for you,
it’s something you have to
do your own. See, we’re all
engaged in healthy rivalries,
We are really competitors
vying for a spot as the TA.
It’s about the words, mostly.
I guess you knew that or
you wouldn’t be here!
my outro:
Folks’ll read and respond
to your stuff, so get busy.
I always thought that the expression “gird you loins” came from the King James translation of the Bible, specifically, the book of Job. Would it be better to find out what the original Hebrew express was to find the origin of the expression?
Don’t be mean on tindofa he might be a spider and on his long and dangerous trek from A to B on the mountainous keyboard decided that he was desperate for a P.
Dear Marina
There are quite a lot of us out here that want ORGASMS.
2hotforwords-fan club says
Can we have ORGASMS please oh wonderful one
Now calm down boys Marina knows what i mean
Where’s WordLover we need your support second the motion please.
I seconded yours yesterday (it was the same word LOL)
Calm down at the back please
Mr Strapp the Scotsman ….Can we have your full support Jock or are you too busy girding your loins ?
And Platex are offering exceptional support also apparently
Chastity where are you ? Ooops someone told her to belt up (UK for shut your mouth) so she went home in tears.
The human is the only creature capable of imagination and getting fulfilment from that.
Actually joking apart I’m not really into spanking, it’s just that I keep leaving my browser open and Tiger my hamster has the hots for Marina and makes vulgar postings when I leave the room.
Actually WL we are compelled by law to use the metric equivalent in everything except the mile in all sales and advertising etc. But this was only passed by statute because the entire nation refused to adapt like the French did many moon agos on April Fool’s day. (new year)
Wordlover your knowledge is less extensive than I imagined.
You thought that your masculine self would be the first to know that that all orgasmometers are manufactured in both the Metric Ooooh and the Imperial Aaaaah on a global basis. It isn’t a software version the toggle switch is on the left hand side.
Mine has developed a fault it says ‘come on hurry up this battery only lasts 2 hours’.
Oh, my knowledge is extensive alright, I saw how they make ‘em on Venus. I even overlooked a convector bolster that almost blew up and it was right next to my only ride home: Big-O IV, which was made in Manchester by a couple of glow-in-the-dark Swiss Army knives. Damn, your knowledge is less extensive than I imagined; I thought you knew that… (i.e., )
No (also acting annoyingly oblivious) you were babbling about manufacturers of planets in the most knowledgeable way and I thought that the next item was going to come from the most famous of all the Piloffpoop Corporation from Uranus
The largest one on record was achieved in 16 August 2004.
It measured 6 Aaaahs (13 Oooohs in metric).
The ground shook so much that it could be felt by Jupitarians on holiday (vacation in US?) on Mars.
OK I have been rumbled ! It was in the cage next door in a pet shop in an odorous city now called Eggstinked on Mars.
Happy now ? I’m only little don’t bully me …
Marina, дорогой учитель, I think the idea for you to teach some Russian language and customs, culture, etc., on a pay site has some merit and could be profitable for you. Please consider it? Also if enough of the other students here agree would that influence you? How about it class? What say you? How many of you would pay $5-$15 a month for a site where Marina would teach Russian language, customs and culture (even if no school credits would be possible)?
Hey, here are some ways of saying “hamster” in other languages:
Chinese: 仓鼠 (cāng shǔ)
Czech: křeček
Hungarian: hörcsög
Italian: criceto
Latvian: kāmis
Lithuanian: žiurkėnas
Spanish: hámster
Welsh: bochdew
LOL I couldn’t type at all for laughing ! Had to go for a pee to settle down.
With wit like yours you could compete against Marina
Hot for Puns (no not hot cross buns)
What am I saying ? No you are a cool dude I think you wear shades …well actually you said that after the ‘accident’ you only have one eye so it is a darkened monacle maybe.
Look again at that Gravatar WL … Does this face look scared ? Eh ? Eh?
Bloody Cat ? Looks like a right pussy to me !
I don’t think that she will need donations from donors when the DVDs start she will be fine

I have every confidence that she has it all covered (and keeps them all covered …….well mainly covered)
The 64 book sets of the ‘hotforwords English etyological Dictionary
Ooops sorry WL tired it’s 5am in UK it was a slip of the tongue (I got it stuck between the t and y keys and had a to get a screwdriver to take it apart and accidentally pressed send in doing so)

She’ll be too busy making movies (or cinema, as our friends across the pond, say). My peoples think she would be a great Bond girl since she’s got “it”. All the memorable actors started off as villians (John Wayne, Henry Fonda, etc.). Bond hasn’t had a “strong” woman opponent since Mayday (Grace Jones). Mayday? Woof!
The Hot for Words Movie! (ala Rock ‘n’ Roll HS), maybe?
hey – where’s My percentage? LOL
Then one could imagine a sticker on the Thermos of a coffee-drinking construction worker: This is my ool. Notice there’s no t in it. I like to keep it that way.
I do, after the “accident” the only thing the doctors could salvage from my face is my lips and an eye. But the eye is rather unsightly and I daren’t show it to anyone online lest they judge me by my lips; and no facial feature should have to be held to that standard.

Hey labbatt78, to which pool do you refer. ie hockey , swimming pool… or to say, pool our resoures, or car pool. or even the game pool. http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=7GA3ySz4el4 someone had way too much time one their hands. LOL greetings fellow ex pet.
My uncle had a Billiard table, so when I was a kid I played a lot when the cousins got together. Don’t have my own table so don’t play pool anymore, but I do have a pool so now I play in the pool (Weather permitting)
Later
Hi Marina! I just thought of another strange expression: “sounds fishy”. Fish dont make sounds, thats silly! Why would anyone think that something sounds like nothing?
i would like to know where the phrase “big wigs” came from … you know when a boss comes in the room and someone says look he’s one of the big wigs… and i think it is number 3 for the loins game cheers!!!
Isnt that because french nobles used to wear those redicilously big white wigs (ie: the ones with big wigs had the power). And it became poplular in many other countries I dont know about england but this could be it.
They certainly do
And I think that they make the courtroom much more serious and authorative.
I did a couple of years in the Police and a Manchester England Barrister was absolutely livid because his gown and wig had been stolen from the Crown Court changing rooms.
‘It’s not the price’ he complained bitterly ‘It will take my wife hours to unpick the stitches and fray the gown and 500 times in the washing machine to make both look like my old ones. I don’t want to look like a Rookey.
So these guys are supposed to wear them to look smart but in reality the scruffiest guy is the most senior hhhhhhhhhm
Blisteringly corny , after the knock knock gag I thought I had the copyright on the really ’smelly ‘ ones !
Nice to be back WL didn’t get back from dancing till 2am to I catchup.
how about a physics joke?
two atoms were walking down the street when one starts furtively checking his pockets.

I have a tough image to maintain so I have to disagree in pubic ooops where is that backsapce key
WL I really thought that you would say no eyedeer
What do you call a deer with no eyes and no legs ?
” ttv”Since a cow with two legs is “lean beef” your sightless legless deer would be “Venison” Need some recipes you carnivorous rodent http://www.venison.ca/recipes.html
Wow- cheese whiz, guys.
[giving tiger the fish eye] I find
it remarkable that the Russian
mafia would employ a hamster.
Sounds like you may have
watched “Eastern Promises”
a time or two. Let it go.
Mafia thugs don’t usually go
around trying to attract attention
to that fact, do they? Well,
maybe the really stupid ones…
With all the mood swings you
have (blubbering over yer
keyboard & such) I guess
it’s possible – not probable.
Lay off the elderberries, dude.
Hello hotforwords. Let me start by saying WOW!!! I just discovered your site and can’t wait to share this with my wife. I have a new 7 week old son and can’t wait to build his vocabulary with you. Y
You make learning fun!!
I have a couple of requests that I hope you can help me with.
1. Where in the hell did the expresion 23 ski doo come from.
2. what the heck is onamonapia( hope I spelled that right)
hope you can help, can’t wait for the next lesson

If there were more women like you in the world…
Men wouldn’t stand a chance!!
Great now you let the cat out of the bag. There goes the neighborhood. How are we so post to keep up the illusion with you spatting out the truth all the time.
23 skidoo – I believe this came about
from 1923 -1924, around New Years.
I should remember more details but
all day at the track has me a lil’ toasted.
all I can smell right now is burnt rubber,
formula fuel & brake pads, yuck. AND
I get to do it again tomorrow! WooHoo!
Oops another wrong reaction to one of Melika’s quadribiguous sayings.
Bet WL pulls me up on this word I made it up. Bet he wants to check my software licence numbers and the tread depth on my mouse and whether my monitorscreen wipers have a full bottle of water. ooops I’m done for……
I had mentioned onomatopoeia a few days ago. It looks like that Marina is planning a video (in collaboration with Venetian Princess). So hopefully we will find out soon
INTERESTING QUESTION
I am going to answer in a round about way because wherever you live in the world you will know someone of English descent.
Sorry no Wiki used we just learnt this at school and police
After the Vikings invaded us in 7th c we all inherited the German/Scand blonde hair from integral cross breeding.
86% of Brits have some Viking descent by recent DNA tests.
Anyway they were named after the professions they had. In those days the capital City of England was York not London.
If you manufactured or forged metal you were a Smith.–from the verb to smite or to hit —(when hot of course to shape it) The main metal objects for forging in those days were knives. . So it’s easy to understand Smith. Later Silversmith, a Tinsmith, Goldsmith Platinumsmith and of course someone that forges black iron (mixed with coal) was a Blacksmith, In those days it was a very important profession and was the olde worlde equestrian version of a car dealer working on the iron horse shoes and repairing carriages. Centuries later the car was first called the horseless carriage, and the term hackney carriage still stands today as if it is a ‘fare paying carriage’ traditionally drawn by horses.. Long replaced by very odd looking (but beautiful) black taxi cabs. The law requires food and water for the horse to be kept in the boot (trunk for the US) even in a diesel taxi cab this law still stands today.
Needless to say that it is never enforced !
Funnily enough the law compelling us to practice our archery for 2 hours on the village green every Sunday has never been withdrawn either.
Most manufacturers of non metals had specific names , eg Cooper (barrelmaker) Fletcher (makes arrows) thatcher (makes straw roofs -they are were all straw once) Taylor (Tailor makes men’s clothes) Cobbler (makes shoes) Archer etc etc
If you worked on something you were a Wright
Some Wrights were called Wheelwright Wainwright etc
In the remote parts of the country of Wales in Britain where the Vikings never reached they still speak the old indigenous language to Britain today (Welsh) there are only really traditional 3 surnames Jones Hughes and er ?
So the people are called Jones Butcher or Jones Posty etc etc
Alx can you come in on the German origins of the verb to smite ?
Gnarly gnarl! I just felt a bunch of neurons
light up reading your piece! Excellent style.
– understood it all
can you help me programme my VCR? LOL
Have a cookie, You’ve earned it!
(don’t know if you like beer: if so swap “beer” for “cookie”)
That was real good, bro.
Thanks Chris .She rarely answers anybody (not as marina anyway)..
Go to the top of the page buddy a lot of men want orgasms . Are you going to join in the nominations for Marina to give us orgasms (meaning of the word)
Hey I subscribed for the first time yesterday and someone said they thought I was Marina. Marina wouldn’t have time to answer anyone.
Apart from that do I look like I have a big sticking out pair of temping lugs and nicely rounded th’eyes ? Eh ? Eh ?
Some people have no eyedea….
Hey you are the guy with the deja vu right ?
You make me laugh. What have my paws got to do with it
Are you telling me to keep my paws off ?
Not happy about blokes winking at me mind.
You don’t get gay Siberian Gamsters they are all tough Mafiosi gangsters. h=g
When are all you guys out there going to realise that Marina is a hamster.and leave her to me ? oops can’t do that how about backspace, no let’s try shift/control/F2/tab oh crap it’s telling me that i have aided and abetted an illegal act on the PC. Ahhh there we are
что ? He isn’t on this thread though, yet I must say I distinctly noticed his absence. Maybe it was because I tripped up over the spelling and corrections on his absence note to Marina ‘ Deer teechu mi litul Melika has a bad cold and a blocked breathing pipes . I think it is Flue.
Yours Forever A.D. Mirer
hello. i would like to request a word. i know you’re from Russia and i have been watching a lot of racist videos lately. All of the videos come from Europe, racist soccer fans in Spain. Some underground racist groups in Russia and racist kids screaming at the camera in Germany. i would like the origin of the word “Racism.” i’m very sorry that the old continent is consuming itself with hate. i would also like to know how do say “Racist” in Russian, i could just google it, but it would be better to see your sexy lips say it…
Section 9 of the 1968 Race Relations Act sub section 16 paragraph near the blood stain about half way down the page clearly states ‘all persons shall be prohibited from using racial language or hatred or use of the word race’
Google it! Just Google “phobias”. You’ll find a list.
I found one there for “fear of beautiful women”
I can’t say it, but it came in handy applying for the
TA spot. You should apply!
Absolutely!
Have you ever taken a written bar exam?
ie. you may not get it the first time
but if you are persistent….
LOL – Seriously, though, just do it.
Why eh wordlover I can’t be bottom of the cue, because I look cute and cuddly or so the ladies say. Or do you disagree.
You aren’t qualified to judge whether a male hamster is cute or not.
You are a man. I need a lady’s point of view.
Are there any ladies out there that think I look cute ?
I know Marina has female fans as well.
Come on stick your hands up in the class girls let’s see you.
Has any one noticed that melikadothechacha, seems to be a real a-s with his smart A-s commets. and his pic with those 70’s top gun freak glasses. sorry teach, he just brought it out in me.
I would like to personally apologise to you for any offence you may feel. I acknowledge my dontpodiatry in these matters. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, as I am sure you speak for many who did not write in. Rest assured I am getting my comeuppance. I feel like I
can grow from this experience, and carry on, but let’s face it.
I was not at my best and I sincerely hope to not upset anyone, again.
What? and disappoint your fans? That’s the last straw!
On the other hand I can understand his point of view. Even so, putting down the way you look deserves recompense in kind.
Who’s he to judge when his gravatar is so featureless and indistinct? Now wouldn’t you agree? Wait. Maybe he’s Gautama traveling incognito. Or worse yet, COGNITO!
Thanks for your words of support. Don’t be too hard on
theswede42. He had a gut response to my tantrum and
his response was to be protective of Marina. Umm… the
glasses comment…. well… at least he didn’t question my
parentage or insult my MOM! LOL! I just hope he realizes
as much as I make jokes here, I meant it when I apologized.
Part of being an adult is owning your mistakes so you can
enjoy your successes. I’ve only been a subscriber for a
month or so, but it’s clear. There are a lot of like-minded
people in here who are very sharp. I enjoy it immensly
when I can abstract a joke from other’s comments and get
peoples imagination sparking. I’m not banned but I guess
I can forget the TA position for awhile!
On the lighter side, does anyone remember “Escape from Noise”?
- San Francisco based “noise” band from the ’80’s
No. But speaking of “noise” and “Marina” has anybody seen the godawful (attempted) spoof of HFW at YouTube about “Noiseology”?
Yuck! Whoever that actress(?) was may have intended to ridicule Marina but ended up having it backfire on herself (socially, at least)… Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeotch!
Hey I saw that video WL .
I didn’t think it was very authentic looking but it certainly was very funny and it is more publicity and Marina even plugged it on this website
Maybe so that all the fans could logged on to hotfornoise to leave insults. f**k knows (Sorry you told me not to call you that)
Please remember WL, that
1) Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery (even if done by spoof).
2) Bloody SAB confuscious say Annoyed he show argument lost he has (those silly kiddy’s drawings don’t translate well)
Get real Wordlover even Carmen Electra couldn’t do that.
Who on this world could they possibly get ?
Cleopatra is dead silly…(I should know I have a Playboy poster of her on my wall )
Until Michael Jackson I would have said that publicity doesn’t have to be good to sell product . Think of all the curious people wondering who is so important that she deserves to be mimicked
PS
The ноз=nose not knows sorry to use the f word but blokes can take it !
But that’s only one side of the coin; namely the reverse.
Back to the obverse, let’s not subscribe to the philosophy “bitin’ and scratchin’ is most folks’ way of lovin’”. Okay, that’s a paraphrase, originally it’s “Biting and scratching is Scots folk’s wooing.”
But I think you get my point. To be calumniated is NOT a sign that one is appreciated. Look at all the US presidents—if you dare!—all of them have been mocked and despised by someone, and that someone isn’t/wasn’t trying to curry favour with them either. Perhaps, by your reasoning, in shooting the president, Booth was trying to tell Lincoln “I love you” the best way he knew how. C’mon, that’s kookie talk! Don’t be such a Pollyanna!
My master has let me out of my cage and gone for a squirt so I will explain for him in his absence.
Someone told 2effinghotforwordsfanclub not to take (offence), so he said that he had no intention of taking a fence his eye was on another item of territorial garden furniture.
Sorry I forgot to say I am Siberian but live in England. My granny answered a Russian dating advertisement once .
Pinch is one of those silly words they use in England …stranger still is the rhyming slang verb to half inch. Half inch = pinch.
Sorry I meant to say steal lift nab rob or nick
As crazy as this sounds, I think its Numero tres (3).
I would also like to REQUEST the word “Eye candy” and how it became to mean something that is pleasing to the eye….
Marina you are great example of “Eye Candy”
Proud to know you. Mosey on over to gravatar.com and they’ll put your nice little picture next to your postings. Just make sure it’s not quite as recent as mine is. Jeez, I look like I’m pert’ near dead! My comb-over reminds me of a bunch of white feathers in that dang ol’ picture too! Must be time to get a better camera!
In fact, in that picture, I AM dead. It’s a photo from a museum of a real human skull from the good old days of tribal cannibalism in New Guinea with some feathers and crab pincers added for decoration.
That’s cool, Pennsyltucky. I’ve always wondered what it was. Either my vision or my screen isn’t good enough to discern the details of these gravatars. Do you have a link to a larger version of the image?
Hey, PT, would your evil twin’s name be Kenvania6?
No, I shot it myself. I love masks, especially from exotic cultures which have since been modernized. In this case, it’s not a mask, per se because there’s no way to wear it. It’s a whole skull. But what a gnarly trophy to hang up in your thatch-roofed living room! The crab pincers attach somewhere under the cheekbones and meet at the nose, so it reminded me quite a bit of the alien headhunter, “predator” from the movie if the same title. I had to have at least a photo of it. It will make a great painting or sculpture subject some day.
BTW, my evil twin is gonna kick your ass if you mention her name again…
I will risk with this because i have heard this before………
(not google)……….
I willl choose the number 3 ………….. for jam
If anybody else use this answer before, you cannot say I am copying cause I am lazy this time to read the anothers commentary .
Other thing in the list, o yes i need to say this: Marina let me tell you is a great mini show you made, i learned a lot of vocabulary here (for real) and congratulations for you “exito”. Sorry i need more practice in english
ha and number 3: In my country the color of the sky depens of the weather. I don´t know if this means another think…………..in that case that doesn´t hurt me . This is for the commentary of my mail
Whoa my friend I think I have the wrong idea here . The homework was about tying up the genitals to prepare for war. Are you absolutely sure that you want to say that the answer is no 3 for jam ?
So you think that the 2 testicles and the penis should not be tied up before war but removed to be the main ingredient of jam eh ?
I would say that you are answering the marmalade question in the wrong place here ?
Hey, lots of people spread jam on their privates before trussing them up with scratchy twine or rusted baling wire. In fact, it gives the ants somewhere to party while one lies broken in a shell-hole. Very important to keep the nervous sytem jump-started while awaiting medevac, you know.
I’m gonna tell you the way it is
and I’m not gonna be kind or easy
YouTube’s attitude stinks, I say
And the ads they run are totally vapid.
and now that damn ad is gonna play AGAIN!
melikadothechacha, it’s not YouTube.. it’s a company that say they will pay me 3 times what Google is paying me for that box which was like $1 per 1000 views. The video happens to be hosted on YouTube… but it has nothing to do with them. Can we just try it out for a little bit? It’s getting expensive for me to run this site and I need to make a little money to pay for the server hosting.
Marina, I hope you will consider my advice about opening a pay site. (Posted elsewhere here.) Intelligence is sexy and sex sells. Put them together and you’ll be a rich little capitalist…
No need to be hasty, girly girl.
I am learning patience my whole life.
I apologize if my straightforwardness was
perceived as being rude or thoughtless.
I’ve been having a ball since I found this site.
This last little change surprised me!
but i’m all better now! ok?
Hey Marnia, How about putting up a donation/share the expenses button. Have it post a goal to be reached for the month. I would put in a few $$$ into it. Or about this we pay to remove ads? I would go for that too. Tell us what you need and we your student body can offer lots of help.
Oh.. they have it set to play once per hour.. I can have them change it to say once per every 5 hours.. or once a day.. but I make NO money if it doesn’t play. You can always stop it if it starts to play.. but I don’t know.. let me know if it ruins the experience.. maybe I can make it only play on the homepage.. let me look into that.
OK.. I made it so that everyone who is logged in, ie: everyone who makes comments will NEVER see the ad.. only people who come to the website for the first time.
that’s a great solution, Marina, but I worry that you’re leaving money on the table. maybe folks that are logged in could opt out with a cookie? that way you’ll still get paid for the folks that are logged in that don’t care if it plays.
I think most of your students would agree with me: we want you to be wildly successful; we don’t want the experience to suck unbearably; we don’t want to have to pay for access (that would seem to run contrary to your mission); we’d be willing to compromise a bit, as long as we felt like we weren’t standing on a slippery slope.
Marina, it is only a minor nuisance (say, now THERE’S a word…HotForWords should “decide to investigate”). Your loyal students want you to be fabulously wealthy, so that you can continue to grow your web offering for the greater good of all mankind. We don’t mind these little minor annoyances. Please don’t be rash about taking down a moneymaker (there’s another word, as it relates to a woman’s derriere…hmmm…philology is getting into my blood…as is Marina
I hope it works out ok $ wise, but tell us if it doesn’t.
I would be crushed if the site shutdown just because we were a bit
too impatient to let an ad run.
The gravatars now take a time to load now anyway, but I’ve got used to that.
errr ugh Ok Ill be a Man about it and say ” Put a help “contribute\ support my website” button next to your videos. Don’t let a gentle nature or a proud bearing nature be the downfall of your goal and dreams. I will contribute if you choose to do so, as many others would also.
What did I miss??? I run a small business, now two. The last business coarse I went to I learned that pennies count at the end of the year. Add up all the pennies & see what you get. We used to give away free valves with every new tire. two years ago we started charging $1.50 each, some complained but not many @ the end of the first year it made a difference of $12,000 to our annual revenue. last year we charged $2.50 per & less complaints, we give great service & back up our products & treat customers like family & it works. The little add ons are neccesary to complete the total picture & cover all the little add ons that cost to run a succesful operation. So hit us hard Marina
we lack discipline. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=JUhM0BrZjsM&feature=related arnold runs a tough class eh!
I agree with turtlewax. I posted a similar solution but failed to read further down to see TW already had the idea.
Like Billy, I to run a small business and Billy makes a valid point is a buck here and a buck there really ad up over time.
If I knew what your business plan goals where I could better assist you. But that is private information that should not be released. You do have a BP? Or are you running this site as a hobby business?
I’ll tell you what Marina, Shoot me an email of your basic idea of what HFW goal is. Is it larger business goal to make big time $$$, or just want to cover maintenance of the site? I’ll get you set up with some fantastic advisers to help you out for the type of business you wish to create. Best of all It will cost you absolutely nothing but your ears. They have helped me enormous times and I would have been dead in the water if it wasn’t for them.
Well, maybe I’m alone in this, but the video really didn’t bother me at all. I think if you can make money by putting those ads on your site then go for it. You have to get the money to run your site from somewhere right? Unless you want to start charging your students.
marinaa. hii<3. I was wondering if you could do “Fate” or “Destiny”. I was looking for it for a research paper I gotta do but i was surprised that it wasn’t on the list! thank youu!
I hope, I’m helping…Marina, when watching the video and turning to more comments to read; the video starts over!*!*!*!*!*!…thats cost more with like verizon you are cool
Wow and I thought she lived in LA. Then I saw vid that she was at the pike place market in Seattle.
Ok that changes things. This makes it all particularly challenging. I’ll have to think a bit more on this one. Marina belay my last. I don’t think these advisors want to travel that far.
aight well im about to go do nothing. Marina if thats your name i think your hot. very much so. many other compliments as well but i rather tell you when i see you in person, i dont want to be teachers pet, i want dinner! bye guys
Sparta (now called Sparti) is located in a district called Laconia. If you watched the movie “300,” you might have noticed that the Spartan Hoplites bore on their shields a Lambda…their abbreviation for Laconia or Lakedaemon. They were men (and women) of few words. The famous saying of the Spartan mothers to their sons–”Come back with your shield or on it”–was, in reality, simply “With it or on it.” Rendered in Greek (phonetically) “E tan e epitas.”
I don’t know if I completely trust a movie that was made by a man who tried to live up to a great movie [1964's The 300 Spartans] but failed terrifically.
I both took Greek and hold a B.A. in history, however, I just thought it would make a good video. So much for a suggestion.
Interested in Greek Proverbs, check out Plutarch’s On Sparta.
Actually that comes from a bit of Greek Mythology. It originates from the story of a man named Narcissus who was apparently very good looking and all the women and nymphs wanted him. What’s more, he knew it and turned them all away, thinking there was nobody good enough for him. Then one day a maiden who had failed in attracting him asked that he be punished. So, while hunting he found a pond and in it saw his own reflection. Basically at this point he fell in love with his own reflection and died right there by the water. So that is how we have the word narcissistic meaning ’somebody who is in love with themselves, or very vain’.
i know the word lenden, so its no. 2 for me

This is an appropriate subject for Marina =] I vote for a or b. Women like Marina and hotforprofits make me respect blonds a lot more tbh. She looks like a duck there at the end though lol

Hi Marina
there is an error. lonja is not what you said. ans slice in spanish could be said said “loncha”. ham is cold “jamos” so or you are in a mistake or that is a fake answer
lonja is a place were the fish are sold when they come from the ships.

Hey punk stop asking for four letter words.
Did you notice the stammer ?
What s-s-stammer? Nah – missed it.
(he’s been asking for this word in
several other requests – maybe
somewhere on the lost pages)
Marina, дорогой учитель, I’m curious to know: what are some of the common expressions and colloquialism’s that American and Russian cultures have in common? What do you like best about being in America and what do you miss the most by not being in Russia?
i know one!
vodka
Dearest Marina
but only subscribed today because I finally decided that I wanted to be part of the fun. 
I have been watching this website for a month now
You seem to attract only the most knowledgeable jolly persons who try to share the benefits of each other’s wisdom because they have 2 common interests.
No offensive guys you normally have to endure on youtube 
but a highly educated multinational group of men and women that have been snared by your obvious charms 
It’s fantastic.
Last time I saw theG4 introduction video I was really impressed.
Consequently and subsequently I have seen all of your lessons and feel that I know you better ,and therefore wish you well.
Today I watched the introduction video on HFW youtube channel ID again and I wept like baby for 30 minutes …on my kids life.
I have just one thing to say to Marina shaking like a leaf with emotion and tears running down my face onto my keyboard
GO BABY GO !!!!!
She is the cheerleader !!!
You sound truely moved. Curious as to the “2 common interests.
” you were refering to??
Cover your keyboard, You almost made me spill my tea onto mine too. Why did you wait to subscribe? If you were realy vicious you’d be in there early & often. Just curious why you waited
You say no offensive guys… heck hang around a while, you’re sure to get offended or at least misunderstood & cause offence. It’s all good though. Merry Christmas http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=FRvoChwdr88
Welcome!
Nothing fishy about it at all. i wanted to observe
I really was moved Marina is the most beautiful and intelligent witty lifeform that ever walked this earth ,
I wish her well, and cry and shake with the excitement of her blatently impending success which I believe me has barely even started.
The 2 common interests are our passion for words and admiration of Marina what else could they be
I answered your “deer” riddle over there.
I too have been emotionally moved posting here at the website, been angry, sad, melancholy, ticked, & enjoyed good music links. A whole different dimension that didn’t exist a few years ago. Is it real? I’m older than most here, so I didn’t really think a lot about this dimmension before, although other dimmensions I have contemplated.
I did’t mention the happy or laughing emotions, I didn’t really have a passion for words as some here seem too but there are some excellent writers in my family of whom I’m a tad jealous. So I try to write & be understood & while I relate stuff from my life I realize that my life wasn’t as boring as I thought, & HFW.com is not boring unless I go on&on…
So that being said I laugh with you & weep with you & wish Marina all the success that is due & with the lessons taught & learned may she find peace in her soul & not compromise the integrity that shines through in what she shares with us. ‘nuf said…

BTW I think my answer to your riddle about the deer is right. “venison”… I was very hungry when i answered. Yours just adds corn to a tasty meal.

Welcome to the fold Tiger; maybe you can help keep the wolves from the door.
Are you any relation to Sid Vicious?
I think Marina likes the Sex Pistols; at least she was wearing one of their T-shirts in a video a long time ago.
Thanks for the welcome Bob
Really nice to meet you

Marina,
I always thought that the expression “gird you loins” came from the King James translation of the Bible, specifically, the book of Job. Would it be better to find out what the original Hebrew express was to find the origin of the expression?

Dear Marina
ORGASMS. 
There are quite a lot of us out here that want
2hotforwords-fan club says
Can we have ORGASMS please oh wonderful one
Now calm down boys Marina knows what i mean
Where’s WordLover we need your support second the motion please.
I seconded yours yesterday (it was the same word LOL)
Calm down at the back please
Mr Strapp the Scotsman ….Can we have your full support Jock or are you too busy girding your loins ?
And Platex are offering exceptional support also apparently
Chastity where are you ? Ooops someone told her to belt up (UK for shut your mouth) so she went home in tears.
I want to have an orgasm (video)!
We really can’t take you anywhere WL LMAO
i reckon you should be nominated for the spanking of the day by Marina
[Sigh].. if wanting was getting, we’d ALL be there!
The human is the only creature capable of imagination and getting fulfilment from that.
Actually joking apart I’m not really into spanking, it’s just that I keep leaving my browser open and Tiger my hamster has the hots for Marina and makes vulgar postings when I leave the room.
http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=AabBI4w0zIA This ideo is flagged for a reason. The closest bodily function to an orgasm is the sneeze. not sleeze.
Vvvideo, actually sneezing is better if you arn’t alone http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=IqnAK8W_Hz0 now do your homework
Sorry, 2hotforwordsfanclub, I forgot how to convert that to the metric system. Or DO you have orgasms in the metric system…?
Actually WL we are compelled by law to use the metric equivalent in everything except the mile in all sales and advertising etc. But this was only passed by statute because the entire nation refused to adapt like the French did many moon agos on April Fool’s day. (new year)
Wordlover your knowledge is less extensive than I imagined.
You thought that your masculine self would be the first to know that that all orgasmometers are manufactured in both the Metric Ooooh and the Imperial Aaaaah on a global basis. It isn’t a software version the toggle switch is on the left hand side.
Mine has developed a fault it says ‘come on hurry up this battery only lasts 2 hours’.
Oh, my knowledge is extensive alright, I saw how they make ‘em on Venus. I even overlooked a convector bolster that almost blew up and it was right next to my only ride home: Big-O IV, which was made in Manchester by a couple of glow-in-the-dark Swiss Army knives. Damn, your knowledge is less extensive than I imagined; I thought you knew that…

Are you sure that comment didn’t come from Uranus ?

Question is how long is a hamster’s orgasm ?
The largest one on record was achieved in 16 August 2004.
It measured 6 Aaaahs (13 Oooohs in metric).
The ground shook so much that it could be felt by Jupitarians on holiday (vacation in US?) on Mars.
Where, perchance, did this take place?
OK I have been rumbled ! It was in the cage next door in a pet shop in an odorous city now called Eggstinked on Mars.
Happy now ? I’m only little don’t bully me …
I’m always happy !
Don’t worry, be happy ! Me no bully you, oui !
Oui , no I’ll only do that if you bully me !
Marina,
After thinking about this question I’ve come up with an answer
On the humane the loins are located on each side of the backbone
on the animals you will find the loin between the ribs and the hips
Greg
And the leg is connected to the thigh bone
The thigh bone’s connected to the Marina bone……
Marina, дорогой учитель, I think the idea for you to teach some Russian language and customs, culture, etc., on a pay site has some merit and could be profitable for you. Please consider it? Also if enough of the other students here agree would that influence you? How about it class? What say you? How many of you would pay $5-$15 a month for a site where Marina would teach Russian language, customs and culture (even if no school credits would be possible)?
It’s totally #1.
OMG I was wrong.
Don’t admit to that silly !
You thought that this was the right place to give the answer for the golf game buddy
Trust me on this one…
I’m gonna stick with 2hotforwordsfanclub’s theory as well lol
Seek your mind ….You know that it is true …May the force be with you

Je ne sais pas. Comment ?
I was taking the extracting the urine from the silly word pavement ,
I must say that sidewalk is so much more descriptive..
By definition a pavement must be paved with stones so how can it be paved in tarmac which doesn’t come in big slabs

I like to know what the origin of the word “pool”
There never was a toilet handy when you really needed it !
But wherever you leave it you can be certain that the origin is the same.
Our local council pool has the following sign on the entrance :-
“Welcome to your Public OOL
There is no P in it and we want it kept that way!!!”
I’ve seen a sign with a similar message:
Welcome to our ool:
Notice there is no p in it, please keep it that way.
Then one could imagine a sticker on the Thermos of a coffee-drinking construction worker:
This is my ool. Notice there’s no t in it. I like to keep it that way.
(BAAAAAAAAAAAAAD pun, sorry.
)
But that is what you excel at, (actually you seem to excel at many other things) so just keep em coming my learned new male friend !

PS Why not use a real gravatar of yourself like I do ?
I do, after the “accident” the only thing the doctors could salvage from my face is my lips and an eye. But the eye is rather unsightly and I daren’t show it to anyone online lest they judge me by my lips; and no facial feature should have to be held to that standard.

most likely the game of pool. Do you like pool Billy? If I don’t hear from you I hope you have a nice weekend or a nice mother’s day! TTyl ex pet.
Billy doesn’t have a pool he wears nappies / diapers ?
My uncle had a Billiard table, so when I was a kid I played a lot when the cousins got together. Don’t have my own table so don’t play pool anymore, but I do have a pool so now I play in the pool (Weather permitting)

Hi Marina! I just thought of another strange expression: “sounds fishy”. Fish dont make sounds, thats silly! Why would anyone think that something sounds like nothing?
Might be out of her area
i would like to know where the phrase “big wigs” came from … you know when a boss comes in the room and someone says look he’s one of the big wigs… and i think it is number 3 for the loins game
cheers!!! 
Isnt that because french nobles used to wear those redicilously big white wigs (ie: the ones with big wigs had the power). And it became poplular in many other countries I dont know about england but this could be it.
Yeah, take a gander at Louis the 14th sometime.
And in England everybody working in the legal profession still wears them in the courtroom, don’t they?
Talk about retro…
They certainly do
And I think that they make the courtroom much more serious and authorative.
I did a couple of years in the Police and a Manchester England Barrister was absolutely livid because his gown and wig had been stolen from the Crown Court changing rooms.
‘It’s not the price’ he complained bitterly ‘It will take my wife hours to unpick the stitches and fray the gown and 500 times in the washing machine to make both look like my old ones. I don’t want to look like a Rookey.
So these guys are supposed to wear them to look smart but in reality the scruffiest guy is the most senior hhhhhhhhhm

watched “Eastern Promises”
a time or two. Let it go.
Mafia thugs don’t usually go
around trying to attract attention
to that fact, do they? Well,
maybe the really stupid ones…
With all the mood swings you
have (blubbering over yer
keyboard & such) I guess
it’s possible – not probable.
Lay off the elderberries, dude.

Hello hotforwords. Let me start by saying WOW!!! I just discovered your site and can’t wait to share this with my wife. I have a new 7 week old son and can’t wait to build his vocabulary with you. Y
You make learning fun!!
I have a couple of requests that I hope you can help me with.
1. Where in the hell did the expresion 23 ski doo come from.
2. what the heck is onamonapia( hope I spelled that right)
hope you can help, can’t wait for the next lesson
BDV1970
If there were more women like you in the world…
Men wouldn’t stand a chance!!
Hi bdv1970,
Sometimes Marina doesn’t answer, so if you want to look that up, it’s (onomatopoeia) I think.
Uh, I got some important news for ya… Men never had a snowball’s chance in H…
No, wait, I’m not allowed to disclose that. Proprietary information! Never mind! Pretend you didn’t see this! Uh-oh! Gotta go.
Great now you let the cat out of the bag. There goes the neighborhood. How are we so post to keep up the illusion with you spatting out the truth all the time.
23 skidoo – I believe this came about
from 1923 -1924, around New Years.
I should remember more details but
all day at the track has me a lil’ toasted.
all I can smell right now is burnt rubber,
formula fuel & brake pads, yuck. AND
I get to do it again tomorrow! WooHoo!
BVD1970 You can be pretty certain that our learned friend melikadothechacha will be right , (he usually is)
An onomatopoeia is a word that sounds like the action
eg
Pop
Bang
Sshh
Oops ?
Oomph
Slap
Smash
Bubbling
Crack
Can you have 2 word onomatopoeias fellas ?
Plink Plonk
Ping pong
Splish Splosh Splash
Ding-dong, comes to mind
Next?
Careful Melika you need to make sure that your head can fit through the doorway or you may have to wet your pants or pee in the tropical fish tank
Oops another wrong reaction to one of Melika’s quadribiguous sayings.
Bet WL pulls me up on this word I made it up. Bet he wants to check my software licence numbers and the tread depth on my mouse and whether my monitorscreen wipers have a full bottle of water. ooops I’m done for……
No, not done for. I would just word it: quadriguous and not quadribiguous as the -bi- bit is actually part of the ambi- prefix.
By the way, where is that tax form I sent you to fill out?
Oh Shucks i told you I was done for ……. there’s definately no time to say bye or press the enter key even
William Shakespeare said ‘Whether it is quadribiguous in the mind blah blah Use the b or not the b that is the question’
heya,
I had mentioned onomatopoeia a few days ago. It looks like that Marina is planning a video (in collaboration with Venetian Princess). So hopefully we will find out soon
hope this helps
I am getting worried about videos because wordlover has asked for one on orgasm (see top) come on buddy help me get this word nominated.
Kinky!
oh wait… collaboration doesn’t mean that….
go-away-bad-thoughts, go-away-bad-thoughts, go…..
who am I kidding??
Hi Teacher, grettings from your new chilean student,
i want to know the origins of the word blacksmith.
muchos besos
bye
arrowsmith, wordsmith, gunsmith (Smith & Wesson?)
that’s a lot of “smith”, including yours. Good question!
INTERESTING QUESTION
I am going to answer in a round about way because wherever you live in the world you will know someone of English descent.
Sorry no Wiki used we just learnt this at school and police
After the Vikings invaded us in 7th c we all inherited the German/Scand blonde hair from integral cross breeding.
86% of Brits have some Viking descent by recent DNA tests.
Anyway they were named after the professions they had. In those days the capital City of England was York not London.
If you manufactured or forged metal you were a Smith.–from the verb to smite or to hit —(when hot of course to shape it) The main metal objects for forging in those days were knives. . So it’s easy to understand Smith. Later Silversmith, a Tinsmith, Goldsmith Platinumsmith and of course someone that forges black iron (mixed with coal) was a Blacksmith, In those days it was a very important profession and was the olde worlde equestrian version of a car dealer working on the iron horse shoes and repairing carriages. Centuries later the car was first called the horseless carriage, and the term hackney carriage still stands today as if it is a ‘fare paying carriage’ traditionally drawn by horses.. Long replaced by very odd looking (but beautiful) black taxi cabs. The law requires food and water for the horse to be kept in the boot (trunk for the US) even in a diesel taxi cab this law still stands today.
Needless to say that it is never enforced !
Funnily enough the law compelling us to practice our archery for 2 hours on the village green every Sunday has never been withdrawn either.
Most manufacturers of non metals had specific names , eg Cooper (barrelmaker) Fletcher (makes arrows) thatcher (makes straw roofs -they are were all straw once) Taylor (Tailor makes men’s clothes) Cobbler (makes shoes) Archer etc etc
If you worked on something you were a Wright
Some Wrights were called Wheelwright Wainwright etc
In the remote parts of the country of Wales in Britain where the Vikings never reached they still speak the old indigenous language to Britain today (Welsh) there are only really traditional 3 surnames Jones Hughes and er ?
So the people are called Jones Butcher or Jones Posty etc etc
Alx can you come in on the German origins of the verb to smite ?
or maybe she answer me with other theories, if my word is selected
gb
c ya
Gnarly gnarl! I just felt a bunch of neurons
light up reading your piece! Excellent style.
– understood it all
can you help me programme my VCR? LOL
Have a cookie, You’ve earned it!
(don’t know if you like beer: if so swap “beer” for “cookie”)
That was real good, bro.
I’ll have the cookie. Hamsters love cookies
A real thug would
have demanded
Vod-kya!
Thanks Chris .She rarely answers anybody (not as marina anyway)..
Go to the top of the page buddy a lot of men want orgasms . Are you going to join in the nominations for Marina to give us orgasms (meaning of the word)
Hey I subscribed for the first time yesterday and someone said they thought I was Marina. Marina wouldn’t have time to answer anyone.
Apart from that do I look like I have a big sticking out pair of temping lugs and nicely rounded th’eyes ? Eh ? Eh ?
Some people have no eyedea….
Someone mistook Marina for a hamster? Whoa! (pause) or did you mean they thought you were Marina using a pseudonym?
Hey you are the guy with the deja vu right ?
oops can’t do that how about backspace, no let’s try shift/control/F2/tab oh crap it’s telling me that i have aided and abetted an illegal act on the PC. Ahhh there we are 
You make me laugh. What have my paws got to do with it
Are you telling me to keep my paws off ?
Not happy about blokes winking at me mind.
You don’t get gay Siberian Gamsters they are all tough Mafiosi gangsters. h=g
When are all you guys out there going to realise that Marina is a hamster.and leave her to me ?
Well, that just gives me paws…
For thought maybe ?
But of course! How else can you explain the ellipses? Right, melikadothe—Hey, where’d he go?
что ? He isn’t on this thread though, yet I must say I distinctly noticed his absence. Maybe it was because I tripped up over the spelling and corrections on his absence note to Marina ‘ Deer teechu mi litul Melika has a bad cold and a blocked breathing pipes . I think it is Flue.
Yours Forever A.D. Mirer
That’s just like him!
[sigh] you just can’t turn
your back around some
people without them
getting all wierd!
Hi Marina, would you do a video on the word CAHOOTS sometime?
Thanks and keep up the great work….Bill
My Car hoots ? does yours ? only messing
must have been the bostonian accent, eh?
Yes they really need to have an accent check on the damn computers as well as the standard spell check
hello. i would like to request a word. i know you’re from Russia and i have been watching a lot of racist videos lately. All of the videos come from Europe, racist soccer fans in Spain. Some underground racist groups in Russia and racist kids screaming at the camera in Germany. i would like the origin of the word “Racism.” i’m very sorry that the old continent is consuming itself with hate. i would also like to know how do say “Racist” in Russian, i could just google it, but it would be better to see your sexy lips say it…
Section 9 of the 1968 Race Relations Act sub section 16 paragraph near the blood stain about half way down the page clearly states ‘all persons shall be prohibited from using racial language or hatred or use of the word race’
So that’s Formula 1 banned and the horses
i wanna know about the word Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia
and why its sooo long
Google it! Just Google “phobias”. You’ll find a list.
I found one there for “fear of beautiful women”
I can’t say it, but it came in handy applying for the
TA spot. You should apply!
Do you think that it is worth me replying ?
Sorry a slip of the tongue with the wrong foot,
What I meant to say was
‘Do you think that it is worth me applying’
Absolutely!
Have you ever taken a written bar exam?
ie. you may not get it the first time
but if you are persistent….
LOL – Seriously, though, just do it.
I want to KNOW what PETMEFISH
was using for bait. Marina LIKED it!
There is something wrong with my PC here . I think we have a few threads missing.
I’ll go and Tai them all together. pEhhh
Did someone call ?
Oh sorry not bow Tai … p ..eh ?
Who rattled your cage Mr random 2hot ?
tiger – sorry so late getting back to this for you.
The PETMEFISH reference will all become clear.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UAugJWNfnDg
not sure I get the “random 2hot”
reference, was that a sabre rattle?
Are you saying he’s a sabre toothed gamster, Mel?
You know, I don’t have a clue…….by the way, would you marry me???? Please???????
You must first string a bow and shoot it through 12 axes.
It’s all Greek to me, Odysseus!
Is that all , don’t want him to cue jump too much
I think she’ll like me because I look cute (so they say look at the gravatar)
Ehhhh…
Why eh wordlover I can’t be bottom of the cue, because I look cute and cuddly or so the ladies say. Or do you disagree.
You aren’t qualified to judge whether a male hamster is cute or not.
You are a man. I need a lady’s point of view.
Are there any ladies out there that think I look cute ?
I know Marina has female fans as well.
Come on stick your hands up in the class girls let’s see you.
Come on GIRLS
GIRLS WHERE ARE YOU
Ooops if we are not careful the men will be clubbing the women to death with their multisyllabilic vocabulary.
Has any one noticed that melikadothechacha, seems to be a real a-s with his smart A-s commets. and his pic with those 70’s top gun freak glasses. sorry teach, he just brought it out in me.
Nope. I haven’t noticed. He generally has good comments by my book. and what a cool handle! Sorry, Swede. Gotta keep the solidarity.
No I agree 110% with Turtlewax (it brings my car up a treat)
Sorry Swede
I would like to personally apologise to you for any offence you may feel. I acknowledge my dontpodiatry in these matters. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, as I am sure you speak for many who did not write in. Rest assured I am getting my comeuppance. I feel like I
can grow from this experience, and carry on, but let’s face it.
I was not at my best and I sincerely hope to not upset anyone, again.
What? and disappoint your fans? That’s the last straw!
On the other hand I can understand his point of view. Even so, putting down the way you look deserves recompense in kind.
Who’s he to judge when his gravatar is so featureless and indistinct? Now wouldn’t you agree? Wait. Maybe he’s Gautama traveling incognito. Or worse yet, COGNITO!
Okay just kidding!
melika melikadothechacha! He nice. He funny! Me happy, you happy too?
Thanks for your words of support. Don’t be too hard on
for awhile! 
theswede42. He had a gut response to my tantrum and
his response was to be protective of Marina. Umm… the
glasses comment…. well… at least he didn’t question my
parentage or insult my MOM! LOL! I just hope he realizes
as much as I make jokes here, I meant it when I apologized.
Part of being an adult is owning your mistakes so you can
enjoy your successes. I’ve only been a subscriber for a
month or so, but it’s clear. There are a lot of like-minded
people in here who are very sharp. I enjoy it immensly
when I can abstract a joke from other’s comments and get
peoples imagination sparking. I’m not banned but I guess
I can forget the TA position
On the lighter side, does anyone remember “Escape from Noise”?
- San Francisco based “noise” band from the ’80’s
No. But speaking of “noise” and “Marina” has anybody seen the godawful (attempted) spoof of HFW at YouTube about “Noiseology”?
Yuck! Whoever that actress(?) was may have intended to ridicule Marina but ended up having it backfire on herself (socially, at least)… Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeotch!
Hey who on earth is talking about taking a fence. melika does the blah blah ?
I had my eye on something more cheeky !
Pinching the cast iron gates.
Hey I saw that video WL .
I didn’t think it was very authentic looking but it certainly was very funny and it is more publicity and Marina even plugged it on this website
Maybe so that all the fans could logged on to hotfornoise to leave insults. f**k knows (Sorry you told me not to call you that)
Please remember WL, that
1) Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery (even if done by spoof).
2) Bloody SAB confuscious say Annoyed he show argument lost he has (those silly kiddy’s drawings don’t translate well)
Yeah, but a BAD spoof: well, that’s different. S/he obviously WASN’T trying to flatter Marina.
PS—I told you not to call me what? Факноз?
Get real Wordlover even Carmen Electra couldn’t do that.
)
sorry to use the f word but blokes can take it !
Who on this world could they possibly get ?
Cleopatra is dead silly…(I should know I have a Playboy poster of her on my wall
Until Michael Jackson I would have said that publicity doesn’t have to be good to sell product . Think of all the curious people wondering who is so important that she deserves to be mimicked
PS
The ноз=nose not knows
But that’s only one side of the coin; namely the reverse.
Back to the obverse, let’s not subscribe to the philosophy “bitin’ and scratchin’ is most folks’ way of lovin’”. Okay, that’s a paraphrase, originally it’s “Biting and scratching is Scots folk’s wooing.”
But I think you get my point. To be calumniated is NOT a sign that one is appreciated. Look at all the US presidents—if you dare!—all of them have been mocked and despised by someone, and that someone isn’t/wasn’t trying to curry favour with them either. Perhaps, by your reasoning, in shooting the president, Booth was trying to tell Lincoln “I love you” the best way he knew how. C’mon, that’s kookie talk! Don’t be such a Pollyanna!
Do you get it yet, M. de Sade?
Pinching the cast iron gates?
I dunno this one! need input
My master has let me out of my cage and gone for a squirt so I will explain for him in his absence.
Someone told 2effinghotforwordsfanclub not to take (offence), so he said that he had no intention of taking a fence his eye was on another item of territorial garden furniture.
pinch
to take!
steal!
input! InPut! iNput!
I’m a little tired,,,
Sorry I forgot to say I am Siberian but live in England. My granny answered a Russian dating advertisement once .
Pinch is one of those silly words they use in England …stranger still is the rhyming slang verb to half inch. Half inch = pinch.
Sorry I meant to say steal lift nab rob or nick
My Teacher I belive it’s #1. to tie up your loins as a part of your body for war.
As crazy as this sounds, I think its Numero tres (3).
I would also like to REQUEST the word “Eye candy” and how it became to mean something that is pleasing to the eye….
Marina you are great example of “Eye Candy”
Marina is eye candy all right, but also BRAIN candy.
Candy? she so sweet she give me a toothache!
And your toothache was 5 hours and 11 minutes too late.
I always get mine at half past two (tooth hurty)
zoiks!
I think you would enjoy episodes of the “Red Skelton Show”!
your material is up to snuff with his, and he was g-o-o-d.
Sorry I don’t know the red Skeleton Show buddy ?
is it really that bad ?
Or were you giving me compliment ?
Anyway way you never said whether you really do the Cha cha because i do
i was wondering where the word punk came from and how many different versions are there of it i know of at least 2
Thank you for having the comment box on the top of the page!
Turtlewax:
Proud to know you. Mosey on over to gravatar.com and they’ll put your nice little picture next to your postings. Just make sure it’s not quite as recent as mine is. Jeez, I look like I’m pert’ near dead! My comb-over reminds me of a bunch of white feathers in that dang ol’ picture too! Must be time to get a better camera!
-pennsyltucky9
You too, man! I appreciate it!
-Dave
In fact, in that picture, I AM dead. It’s a photo from a museum of a real human skull from the good old days of tribal cannibalism in New Guinea with some feathers and crab pincers added for decoration.
That’s cool, Pennsyltucky. I’ve always wondered what it was. Either my vision or my screen isn’t good enough to discern the details of these gravatars. Do you have a link to a larger version of the image?
Hey, PT, would your evil twin’s name be Kenvania6?
Nice gravatar, turtlewax.
No, I shot it myself. I love masks, especially from exotic cultures which have since been modernized. In this case, it’s not a mask, per se because there’s no way to wear it. It’s a whole skull. But what a gnarly trophy to hang up in your thatch-roofed living room! The crab pincers attach somewhere under the cheekbones and meet at the nose, so it reminded me quite a bit of the alien headhunter, “predator” from the movie if the same title. I had to have at least a photo of it. It will make a great painting or sculpture subject some day.
BTW, my evil twin is gonna kick your ass if you mention her name again…
Thanks, it’s a jade Mayan turtle. “Her name?” Is ’she who must not be named’ fraternal or identical?
(SHHhhhh! She’ll hear!)
(conjoined)
Damn! now you done gone went an’ done it.
no no that is unacceptable if you need the revenue please keep it running to your full benefit.
I like this comment box at the top.
Marina, please close you comment box………..Hey that has a nice ring to it………off to the pig pen i go
night all
off to bed i go
im just a working joe
hi ho the morning oh
its off to work once mo
I will risk with this because i have heard this before………
.
(not google)……….
I willl choose the number 3 ………….. for jam
If anybody else use this answer before, you cannot say I am copying cause I am lazy this time to read the anothers commentary
Other thing in the list, o yes i need to say this: Marina let me tell you is a great mini show you made, i learned a lot of vocabulary here (for real) and congratulations for you “exito”. Sorry i need more practice in english
ha and number 3: In my country the color of the sky depens of the weather. I don´t know if this means another think…………..in that case that doesn´t hurt me
. This is for the commentary of my mail 
greetins
Whoa my friend I think I have the wrong idea here . The homework was about tying up the genitals to prepare for war. Are you absolutely sure that you want to say that the answer is no 3 for jam ?
So you think that the 2 testicles and the penis should not be tied up before war but removed to be the main ingredient of jam eh ?
I would say that you are answering the marmalade question in the wrong place here ?
2hot,
Let’s not leap to conclusions.
Hey, lots of people spread jam on their privates before trussing them up with scratchy twine or rusted baling wire. In fact, it gives the ants somewhere to party while one lies broken in a shell-hole. Very important to keep the nervous sytem jump-started while awaiting medevac, you know.
FLMAO Utterly superb pennsyl . with tucky9 on the end and not an eraser.
I’m gonna tell you the way it is
and I’m not gonna be kind or easy
YouTube’s attitude stinks, I say
And the ads they run are totally vapid.
and now that damn ad is gonna play AGAIN!
Silence used to be golden, so I heard tell… But now License is Golden.
melikadothechacha, it’s not YouTube.. it’s a company that say they will pay me 3 times what Google is paying me for that box which was like $1 per 1000 views. The video happens to be hosted on YouTube… but it has nothing to do with them. Can we just try it out for a little bit? It’s getting expensive for me to run this site and I need to make a little money to pay for the server hosting.
If it gets unbearable, then I’ll pull it.
Marina, I hope you will consider my advice about opening a pay site. (Posted elsewhere here.) Intelligence is sexy and sex sells. Put them together and you’ll be a rich little capitalist…
No need to be hasty, girly girl.
I am learning patience my whole life.
I apologize if my straightforwardness was
perceived as being rude or thoughtless.
I’ve been having a ball since I found this site.
This last little change surprised me!
but i’m all better now! ok?
Hey Marnia, How about putting up a donation/share the expenses button. Have it post a goal to be reached for the month. I would put in a few $$$ into it. Or about this we pay to remove ads? I would go for that too. Tell us what you need and we your student body can offer lots of help.
Oh.. they have it set to play once per hour.. I can have them change it to say once per every 5 hours.. or once a day.. but I make NO money if it doesn’t play. You can always stop it if it starts to play.. but I don’t know.. let me know if it ruins the experience.. maybe I can make it only play on the homepage.. let me look into that.
OK.. I made it so that everyone who is logged in, ie: everyone who makes comments will NEVER see the ad.. only people who come to the website for the first time.
How’s that?
that’s a great solution, Marina, but I worry that you’re leaving money on the table. maybe folks that are logged in could opt out with a cookie? that way you’ll still get paid for the folks that are logged in that don’t care if it plays.
I think most of your students would agree with me: we want you to be wildly successful; we don’t want the experience to suck unbearably; we don’t want to have to pay for access (that would seem to run contrary to your mission); we’d be willing to compromise a bit, as long as we felt like we weren’t standing on a slippery slope.
Marina, it is only a minor nuisance (say, now THERE’S a word…HotForWords should “decide to investigate”). Your loyal students want you to be fabulously wealthy, so that you can continue to grow your web offering for the greater good of all mankind. We don’t mind these little minor annoyances. Please don’t be rash about taking down a moneymaker (there’s another word, as it relates to a woman’s derriere…hmmm…philology is getting into my blood…as is Marina
I say run the adds to your full benefit. i don’t want to be a freeloader.
These guys make sense.
This is what I should have said.
Thanx guys
I hope it works out ok $ wise, but tell us if it doesn’t.
I would be crushed if the site shutdown just because we were a bit
too impatient to let an ad run.
The gravatars now take a time to load now anyway, but I’ve got used to that.
XXXXX
errr ugh Ok Ill be a Man about it and say ” Put a help “contribute\ support my website” button next to your videos. Don’t let a gentle nature or a proud bearing nature be the downfall of your goal and dreams. I will contribute if you choose to do so, as many others would also.
What did I miss??? I run a small business, now two. The last business coarse I went to I learned that pennies count at the end of the year. Add up all the pennies & see what you get. We used to give away free valves with every new tire. two years ago we started charging $1.50 each, some complained but not many @ the end of the first year it made a difference of $12,000 to our annual revenue. last year we charged $2.50 per & less complaints, we give great service & back up our products & treat customers like family & it works. The little add ons are neccesary to complete the total picture & cover all the little add ons that cost to run a succesful operation. So hit us hard Marina
we lack discipline. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=JUhM0BrZjsM&feature=related arnold runs a tough class eh!
I agree with turtlewax. I posted a similar solution but failed to read further down to see TW already had the idea.
Like Billy, I to run a small business and Billy makes a valid point is a buck here and a buck there really ad up over time.
If I knew what your business plan goals where I could better assist you. But that is private information that should not be released. You do have a BP? Or are you running this site as a hobby business?
I’ll tell you what Marina, Shoot me an email of your basic idea of what HFW goal is. Is it larger business goal to make big time $$$, or just want to cover maintenance of the site? I’ll get you set up with some fantastic advisers to help you out for the type of business you wish to create. Best of all It will cost you absolutely nothing but your ears. They have helped me enormous times and I would have been dead in the water if it wasn’t for them.
_/)_
Well, maybe I’m alone in this, but the video really didn’t bother me at all. I think if you can make money by putting those ads on your site then go for it. You have to get the money to run your site from somewhere right? Unless you want to start charging your students.
If Marina makes money out of it, then I wouldn’t mind seeing it
every time I connect.
Go for it Miss M.
how did the word vampire originate? Thanks!
Hey
Maybe it sounds funny 
but i would like to know what the word “masturbation” means 
<3 your vids 
My dear hotforwords,
Could please tell me the origin of the word lesbian?
I’m not trying to be weird! I’m really curious!
Thanks! I love your videos!
Chloe
Hi marina. Can you do the word regurgitate?
Is it worth bringing that one up again ?
Only messin interesting word
Couple words that might be fun: uvula, furtive, vulva
LOVE your video Marina.
Michael
It’ll behoove ya to care for your uvula.
marinaa. hii<3. I was wondering if you could do “Fate” or “Destiny”. I was looking for it for a research paper I gotta do but i was surprised that it wasn’t on the list! thank youu!
Hey lost my virginity to a girl called Destiny . Fatefully enough she said that it wasn’t meant to be
Funny, I lost my density to a teacher named Virginia! What a coincidence! You don’t suppose there’s a connection…..?
What kind of a connection? A French connection?
/ 
/ etc.
Marina, could you please make two videos for me?
#1: “blimp”
#2: “pencil”
Thank you, Sweethear! Mmmmmmmmmmmmmwah!
And, Marina, I don’t mean to be nosy, but where do you live? I’m not asking for the address, I basically just want to know the time zone.
how about looking at the time stamp on here? hm?
There is a video on the web soemwhere that seems to suggest somewhere in Tinsel Town.
Thanks, aLx, I know, I just wanted to know where she lived, what region. Just curious. I like to know these things…
So, Marina, what’s up?
GMT – 7.23
I hope, I’m helping…Marina, when watching the video and turning to more comments to read; the video starts over!*!*!*!*!*!…thats cost more with like verizon
you are cool
OK, thanks!
Again, not bein’ nosy—or, at least, I don’t MEAN to be!
Wow and I thought she lived in LA. Then I saw vid that she was at the pike place market in Seattle.
Ok that changes things. This makes it all particularly challenging. I’ll have to think a bit more on this one. Marina belay my last. I don’t think these advisors want to travel that far.
I am from Siberia and that fish market looked very Russian to me, Nothing fishy going on there
Oops, I meant to write “Sweetheart”, but it IS sweet to hear you!
Don’t give us no lip about not being nosy. When you’re not busy being cheeky, your silence is downright eerie.
(Muuhuhahahahahahaha!)
Don’t do the meaning of a blunt pencil. It’s pointless
She did that one already but it was erased.
aight well im about to go do nothing. Marina if thats your name i think your hot. very much so. many other compliments as well but i rather tell you when i see you in person, i dont want to be teachers pet, i want dinner! bye guys
can you maybe discuss the origin of the name mafia
Hey HotforWords,
Could you maybe discuss the etymology of “laconic”? All I know is it started with the Ancient Spartans…
Thank You,
David E. Gray
Sparta (now called Sparti) is located in a district called Laconia. If you watched the movie “300,” you might have noticed that the Spartan Hoplites bore on their shields a Lambda…their abbreviation for Laconia or Lakedaemon. They were men (and women) of few words. The famous saying of the Spartan mothers to their sons–”Come back with your shield or on it”–was, in reality, simply “With it or on it.” Rendered in Greek (phonetically) “E tan e epitas.”
I don’t know if I completely trust a movie that was made by a man who tried to live up to a great movie [1964's The 300 Spartans] but failed terrifically.
I both took Greek and hold a B.A. in history, however, I just thought it would make a good video. So much for a suggestion.
Interested in Greek Proverbs, check out Plutarch’s On Sparta.

where do we get “narcissistic” from???
Actually that comes from a bit of Greek Mythology. It originates from the story of a man named Narcissus who was apparently very good looking and all the women and nymphs wanted him. What’s more, he knew it and turned them all away, thinking there was nobody good enough for him. Then one day a maiden who had failed in attracting him asked that he be punished. So, while hunting he found a pond and in it saw his own reflection. Basically at this point he fell in love with his own reflection and died right there by the water. So that is how we have the word narcissistic meaning ’somebody who is in love with themselves, or very vain’.
where does “desire” come from?
It comes from not being named teachers pet!
