girder Irn Bru is made from girders.
How about an example of this robe lifting … sigh. I always love old world type phrases. Like to see hotforprofits or Marina recite some but I suppose that would be a bit creepy and asking a lot.
Gürtel (pronounced gertel with an “eyu” sound after the g)= belt in german.

Funny one
IT’S A GIRDLE
To get that wasp waist it must be a girdle
It is baseball season. Where did the term “Texas League single” come from?
sure girdle, but how about girder
another well know word from gird would have to be girdle…
I’d like to request the word ‘Miscellaneous’, it drives me crazy.
I’d like to discuss the word spanner or wrench set as that turns me nuts (Ouch)
i registered just to ask you about the word ‘Kalashnikov’ it is Russian and i would like to know more about ‘Kalashnikov’.
Ask sniperskaya, he deals in them…
I thought a kalashnikov was an assault rifle, not a sniper rifle. never touched a gun, though, so I don’t really know what I’m talking about.
To quote sniperskaya:
…Mikhail Timofeyevich Kalashnikov, “father” of the rifles that bear his patronymic. Avtomat Kalashnikova model 1947. With over 100 million of the AK series and their variants produced (RPK, SVD, Tygr, Saiga, shotguns, etc.), he has been twice named “Hero of Socialist Labor” (Герой работы социалиста) and awarded the Order of Saint Andrew the Protoclete (Заказ священнейшего Андрюа Protoclete). He even has a vodka named after him. I think at one time Russia even had a brand of Kalsahnikov or AK cigarettes. So with either with the rifles, vodka, or cigarettes he’s gonna get you!
Me? I’ve only touched BB-guns and the like…
Alongside the M1 Garand, the Kalashnikov is one of the finest weapons ever made
I would like to know where the word “Boner” comes from. For example, I had a boner (erection) in the morning when I saw boobies.
For wordlovers i know where it come from But i just want you dear teacher to make a lessons about it that all
I not some asshole who learn martial arts to get chicks.
No i am the real deal and i have some homework for you
Look for Watanabe Kondo, Shidoshi-Ho
Marina, дорогой учитель, first, welcome back. Hope you had a good weekend. It was Mother’s Day Sunday. Does Russia celebrate Mother’s Day? Since we hear so much about “Mother Russia” it seems that you should. If so, how does it differ from Mother’s Day in the USA? Just curious…
спасибо

Come for the second sitting eh ?
Hvad?
Hello Marina,
I’d like to know where does the word voluptuous comes from?
‘s ‘ matter, pennsyltucky9, cat got your tongue?
Don’t get me started, for I fear
“He is putting it blithely
when he says
quobble in the grass
Strab he down the soddieflays,
amo amat amass.
A monk, a mink, a minibus
amarmeladey moon.
a moss amiss a multiplus
A mighty midgey spoon.
And so we traddled onward,
Careing not a care
Onward, onward, onward.
Onward, my friends, to victory and glory
for the thirtyninth.”
Glad to see you back John! And your front too! Missed you both.
pennsyltucky9, is that yours? If not, who said it? ‘s great!
Poem “Alec Speaking” by John Lennon from the book, “In His Own Write and A Spaniard In the Works.”
Quoted from memory. If I look hard enough, the book will turnip somewhere.
For those of you just joining us, the last thing you would’ve seen below the video up top is:
There Are 666 Comments for “Gird Your Loins (Answer)”
Have you ever hit the Digg Button?
714 now. Are we going for a record?
Then here’s a worthy one; if we really have 68,238,545 + 1 soldiers in this army, why don’t we pick one of Marinas videos and all view it on YouTube?
If we all give Marina our Bleeding Love we could knock Leona Lewis off the “most viewed of all time” spot by this time tomorrow.
I suggest we do the “G4 TV Appearance” video as that already has 2.5 million views to give us a head start.
My word request is “stemcell”. The answer(s) to your homework question is a word derived from gird is girder. As in a steel girder that is used to bind up the loins of a building, so to speak. Also girdle, which has an obvious connection. Possible third derivation of gird could be guard. A guard is a form of binding up the perimeter of an area. You might even have a guard girdling girders. picture that as you may. School was never like this, teacher!
is there rules for over requesting words?
Hell no! I’ve been over-requesting words since I got here!
more of a guideline, than a rule:
check the lessons list for words
she has already done.
Only 1 rule :-
Rule “36-24-36″ – You have to request the word “bikini” first, before requesting other words.
Thank you wordlover. i like yours to
¡Gracias!
can i request for the words who, what, where why and how?
When?
Huh?
No that a different unrealated word melika
What ? How do you mean ? I don’t know where you are coming from. Who ? Sorry …..either of the three of you LOL
crazyfreakomaniac forgot to say “when” (literally) and so I added it, and as a bonus my comment could also be interpreted as meaning “when (do you want her to do these words)?”
As always directed to the true Philologist, Marina
and not to the MENSA people here or the Robin Williams or
the George Carlins, and US NAVY SEALS and the devoted
Philology BLACK BELTS and the tiny Bob guy who has
a “morning problem” and could use some Viagra in here…LOL
LOL, I just love the pure entertainment of the brainy in here??
LOL
What is the origin of the words, “handicapped?”
LOL
referring to all “the Others” on this Lost type of forum island.
LOL
Vini Vidi Vici
Don’t worry, I won’t answer your Marina-directed questions, but I think I get it now: you’re just being sarcastic, aren’t you? You’re NOT really a pædophilic asshole, right?…
Lumme, I was starting to worry there for a moment…
Is viagra the “blue pill” i’ve heard about in here?
de mortuis nil nisi bonum dicendum est
Cur? Et qui mortui?
Dear teacher,
I ‘ve read nearly hundreds of comments in your website. There is a lot of “declarations” (love oriented comments). I was wondering, how do you react? Do you feel flattered? Do you believe in these comments? Do they help you in hard moments? Well, how do you live all this?
Excuse me for my curiosity (perhaps interest?)
Amicalement,
Your devoted psychanalist euh…. student,
Don Felipe Gonzales Freud of the strange questions land.
Dear teacher,
OoOops I forgot something as usual, is it possible to request the origins of the word beyond?
Thank you
Don Felipe Gonzales of the forgettingmenland
aren’t you a little Jung to talk like that?
she does read your stuff, you know…
Don’t, melikadothechacha, he may take it the wrong way…
Marina reads the comments looking for things that “tickle her fancy”
Dear fellow student
I am sorry, m’sieur “Moi qui aime danser le Cha cha cha”, I won’t do that again, I promise. Please, don’t tell my mum….
Hey!!!! Why do I REACT LIKE THAT? YES I TAKE IT THE WRONG WAY!!!! Aren’t you too old to dance the cha cha cha!?????!!!!!
Amicalement
Don Felipe Gonzales
You should do the word, FLOCCINAUCINIHILIPILIFICATION
I think that one’s been done already, fatedace.
Yeah. It’s been facedated…
here it is
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMrk9ea1m0g
I cut my teeth on this one, popped my cherry.
A lot of request for this one. I liked getting the
link for you because it auto starts and there
she is all smilin’ and junk -If it isn’t love, it’s
mighty close…
Girdle!!!!!!!!
i have a word for ya, “crowbar” crow is a bird and a bar is a bar…
see if this is acualy something
crowbar hotel = jail
AKA “making the bucket” in 1960s-era trampspeak.
“I made the bucket in Seattle one time for pooling; I asked a guy how much he was holding on a jug and he turned out to be a ragpicker and pinched me.”
-James Spradley
Marina is getting so bombarded with word requests……how can she possibly keep up? If you look at you tube…same thing!! With so many members now…..she must need to get more assistants (real ones) to help.
MARINA—a suggestion…
….if you CONSOLIDATE all the requests onto one page listing…..members could go to this one page and scan for word submissions BEFORE they submit to you. This would severely cut down on the repeat submissions.
You could also have the names of members next to the word to give them credit.
What do you MEMBERS think?? How about it Marina??
BoArgMir
Marina asks that word requests are left on this HFW website and I guess that if I were her I would not lower myself to ‘listen’ to the common abuse she tends to attract from many on youtube.
I can’t bear to ‘listen’
It is the more educated fellows like yourself (I know this because I enjoyed your letter and you got this far anyway ) with a vivacious appetite for literary knowledge (and also think that our hero is super tasty) that subscribe here
If you want people to think that you had a few dictionary pages for breakfast rather that Corn Flakes or just simply have the hots for Marina then this is the right place for you.
And an intelligent lady is much more stimulating.
So welcome to the feast of etymology (and the most painful pun (play with words) showdowns possible unfortunately).
There are many forums with fascinating or just hilarious threads so do have a good look round, SHARE YOUR KNOWLEDGE WITH US and most importantly HAVE GREAT FUN. Please remember that there are many different nationalities cultures and customs involved that may not understand yours so tread carefully initially (trust me I didn’t and I regret it….sorry proz and WL).
If Marina (toohotforwords I call her) reads any comments, (and I am certain that she does ) it will most likely be here, but she’s a very busy lady please don’t ever expect a reply but feel blessed with the divine privilege if she does , as I have never been that lucky. (so far )
I LOVE YOU MARINA xxx
As for the Teacher’s Pet we all dream of that one day.
Just to have your name mentioned for nominating that lesson’s word ….sigh dream on 2HFWFC
Hear, hear! I concur!
Thank you, Father 2hotforwordsfanclub, that was a marvelous sermon!
I love Marina Triple X, TOO!
ANYONE…….who has received one of Marina’s cards….what are they like? I have signed up for them, but was after the last one (April 1 cards) went out. Is it just a photo? Just curious
don’t know if this violates protocol,
but what the hay! here’s a link:

OMG , I missed those !!!!
Hey i’m going to see if i can buy one on ebay
— Marina: Fueling the Imaginations of Mankind
Until the ‘script has catapulted me to a multi-millionaire status, … once a week I will come to visit and to listen to our Marina.
… for a moment I toy with thoughts that some Grand Purpose didn’t design that “thing” Marina talking and moving on my computer screen right now, and while I watch her for the next few moments …, as if pondering upon a work of art I listen to my thoughts as I sit and stare at our Marina.
“There is no God?”
Ha! How silly a thought! Of course some thing made her like that …!~
Bill? Bill Gates? Is that you, bro?
I am Mergatroidal.
Interesting, Mac World!
Snagglepuss had a tag line
“Heavens to mergatroid”
kinda like “heavens to Betsy”
I dunno who betsy is, either
Gee, thank you, Dr. Seuss!
Betsy is a horse in Michigan during the 1940′s, … and I just now changed the mother of Mergatroid from Betty to Betsy. Polishing and perfecting the ‘script, I am …
melikadothechacha, I want to extend a cordial, heartfelt thank you for the “heavens to Betsy” line. Bringing that line to my attention was a good thing.
Now, … if I could somehow acquire ten words, two sentences of direct quote to use from our beloved Marina, I’d feel like a million bucks …!
…, hello?
(and these … damn … dots! I can’t seem to get rid of ‘em …! They follow me around … all the time …
LOL…
D’oh!…
…
she stops by to check things from time to time. you could get lucky.
You must be thinking all the time; hence the dots. they represent trailing thoughts….
What?…
Wait, hang on a sec’…
………
……
…
Aha! I see!
I persevere, steering an opportunity my way = luck …, until the goal is met.
and where do ya go to catch a
train of thought?
A neuro trainsmittion Station ?
Sorry my foot slipped
I meant to say a neuron trainsmittion station
I like to think of her in a white lab coat …, the words synaptical, Heirarchical Temporal Memory, … cognitive functions of the neocortex …, paradigm shifts …, juicy words to imagine heard with slavic inflections as I slip off into la-la land.
I tend to sleep very well at night. Thanks for reminding me …!
ocipetal cortex (lizard brain)
or bird brain, if you will.
wordslover – where you at?
(window of opportunity to
quip the train o’ thought)
(yeah yeah, I know it’s a lobe not a cortex)
Who the hell is wordslover and why is his/her screenname so damn similar to mine?
(which is to say, 
)
Five years from now, the reality? I dunno. For now Marina is my imaginary research partner, and the paper of Papers is the goal. That face and voice of hers is absolutely cool … to imagine.
…, …
Marina and I did the research and wrote the paper detailing biological cognition. Marina and I are within all future history books, with the titans … where ever we go, what ever we do, we are so cool.
At the news conference after picking up our Nobel Prize(s), a reporter asks either one of us, “How’d you two find each other?”
Pondering an answer, “Please …, please, … please!!!!” are the only words Marina can think of at the moment. I’m thinking of an answer to the question too, and all I can think of is that I knew we could do excellent research together, and that somehow I gotta get to know her better. Get to know her better by first acquiring a couple million dollars to myself, and then I can begin to talk “turkey” with her.
… to be continued.
Cool! Free comics! Can y’add pictures with ‘em, mergatroidal?
That second to the last sentence should have read, “… and then I can begin to talk some serious “turkey” with her.”
Nothing imaginary about her lessons, Mergatroi!
wordlover? in the old BBS days, repeat names
were numbered, as in: beefcake1, beefcake2,
and so on. If he had hit on your exact name,
the interface would have said “unavailable”.
Hm’kay? so figure it’s just another event
more cosmic than karmic, not to sweat.
Whoever uses her eyes for a gravatar…
well, let’s hope it works out.
¿ɥƎ
I have to read and ketchup with all the replies. I’m still replying to …, on catching the train of thought, how to.
Or like maddog1, maddog2, maddog3, everyone line up? Plurals, suffixes, prefixes, wordlover you have to separate from the pack, somehow, it seems.
Okay, I’ll type rightside up! There, is that better?
Melika is not passing the reefer again WL.
LOL! that made me think of another polysylablic word!
Decorum does not permit here.
Drugs are bad. Hm’kay?
Too many comments in box, chacha!
…start another box – takes too long to scroll
Thank you—Mgmt.
PS—And no reefs about the cracker…
…started another box – taking too long to scroll
umm oh yeah, wordlover vs wordslover
you were noticing my faux pas, er typo.. umm
Mergatroid, you are really jazzed! Turkey?
three strikes in baseball is an out.
three strikes in bowling is turkey.
turkey jerky ain’t bad, beats road kill
And speaking of baseball, I belive it is the 100th anniversary of “Take Me out to the Ballgame”.
I think.
I believe I think.
I think I believe.
I————’ll stop the joke right here…
Ten-twenty here in New York. Bedtime for Bonzo.
nobody took the bait?!!
- the phrase
“lost my train of thought”
how did this string come
to mean what it does today?
wordlover, yer slackin’ LOL
can’t just give it away, y’know.
Well, thanks to you and tiger-the-vicious, I’m having to answer two different posts in two different lessons AT THE SAME TIME…
it’s just a feeling, it’ll pass
i would like to know the origin of the word “bloody” the way people from the U.K. use it.example….it`s “bloody” cold outside”,there way of swearing?
your future teachers pet….ericou812
I use it when it’s not appropriate
to cuss, like at church and such.
(
)
Snickers®snickerThe word is bleeding stupid i say ! sorry
It is considered profane to all God fearing people because it is referring to the blood of our dear Lord Jesus Christ which was spilt for the benefit of mankind
Bloody clumsy I reckon.
No, it’s a contraction of “By our Lady” (i.e., Mother Mary). Leastways, that’s how I reckon it…
ok – lemme esplain mice elf
i was baptized, raised and confirmed Episcopalian. Acolyte, Crucifer the whole shebang. Now, read what I said befor.e
zat was zen, zis is now
ok – that was a little murky and dark
let’s just sum it up this way:
“Bloody” has more of a pop cultural
aspect as it is used nowadays.
The connotations, as described by
2HFWFC and WL, have been lost.
Blame the cinema, I guess.
I would like to know about the word POPPYCOCK .
actually i have a word request: “Soulmate”
Whoa! Neat gravatar, dude!
yeah, nobody has one
using marinas eyes….
THanks ya
word request: what is the origin of “bikini”?
Howi,
I keep waiting for our buxom blonde bombshell to cover this one also, and it keeps going unnoticed. Must be 20 requests for it over the last coouple months. I think I answered about three of them with the info I had, but I’d love to see Marina do the origin of BIKINI, myself. Let’s wait and see if she picks it up this time.
If not, d’ you want the long or the short version?
howbout you dont tell us and we let her tell us
Marina! tell us!
and it would be cute if you wore one of ur bikinis while you told us
Copy that, meehowik.
I think the “bikini request” is dead in the water.
Depends on who’s wearing it? Whose loin is it anyway?
after the bikini atoll islands?
this sounds right, so how did the french turn it into a swimsuit?
I’m holding out for the tube top lesson, myself
Affirmative, eric812.
But all I covered in my definition was some natural history of the atoll itself and the reason why the bathing suit was named after it. I didn’t even touch on the Polynesian language roots of the 3 syllables that make up the word.
That’s a job for MARINA! Do the word BIKINI!
I’m tired of explaining it again and again! Help us out here, dear teacher.
Maybe she could even demonstrate how to put one on. Something I’ve always wondered about…..Then we can all go to the beach on a field trip! That’s what we need around here!
melikadothechacha,
Look in either the mayday answer or the Molotov Cocktail vid for my dissertation on the origin of the bathing suit. I’m pretty sure it’s re-posted somewhere in one of those. If not, it’s further back. Good luck, S.O.U.P.mate.
Yeah. But how do we get Marina to do a lesson in a TUBE TOP???
(trying to focus on the important stuff)
Just get some new X-ray specks, Chacha!
These ARE Xray specs! LOL
She’s got great bones
Bleh! keyboard gremiln
…great bone structure
so where did the snafu lesson go?
Snafu
I think what aLx is getting at is that the Snafu link on “The Complete Lesson List” now points to “Golf Answer”.
hey, bob.
so you discovered the blockquote tag, huh?
yeah, you’re right, it now points to the golf lesson, that’s why I asked. actually, I wanted to take a look at the comments to that lesson on here so youtube doesn’t really help in this case. thanks, though.
snafu on this site
thx.
how the hell did you find it?
I’m a simple guy, so I simply typed “Snafu” into the search box at the top of the page.
Sorry…. had the wrong link in the lessons page. Fixed it.
Hi Marina,
Hows the GTA IV going, it must be fun, you’ve been awful quite for the last couple of days, not that you speak much anyway, but oh well.
Here is a guy,s take on the first time his wife played GTA IV and his thoughts on the experience. All us guys will find it funny, tell us what you think.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMrk9ea1m0g
Excellent video Marina. How about the word juxtaposition?
Okay, I’m dying to be your pet….I meant teacher’s pet, of course…so here’s my request for a word: sycophant
Thank you
(Girding up his loins)
Yeah, after all those beans, I’m sycopharts, too…
thought he said sick-of-ants?
Hey, come on this guy said he’s dying, lividemerald. Something has to be done, and fast!
Hold on a sec…
“9-1-1 Emergecy response.”
Uh, yeah. I have an urgent situation here. A guy said something about a psychotic elephant sat on him or something, anyway, I don’t know if he’s suicidal or what he said he’s dying, and, so like, I decided to you know, make the call. There’s also an unconfirmed report of some gas, I dunno what’s up wit that, so can you send somebody quick? Jeez, I can smell it…
I want to call 9-1-1, too. What’s the number?
Hey, the 9 was no problem, but it sure took me awhile to find the 11 key on my phone!
(annoying child’s voice) Ih-hih-hih! There IS no 11 key! You simply press the 1 key twice! Ih-hih-hih!
68,238,545 + 1
I have just registered and I did this only for you Marina. I want to know the origin of the word Lip’s. I really really hope that you will answer my question, and then make me your teachers pet.

Just kidding, you’re right!
Good ol’ HOT-lanta!
Ain’ got de sense he was bawn wif.
You kin say day agin…
Also, a common pronunciation of Atlanta is “Retlanta”.
day pro dat
Sorry, cain’t type…
wordlover.. people think you are me in disguise! So hopefully you are representing me well!
They do? That’s bizarre!
But I’ll do my best!
That he does, ma’am, that he does.
I know he’s not Marina because the
only time she talks to herself is in
class (when her sister shows up).
Wordlover disguised as Marina?
If he is in the “bikini” that we have been requesting , I’m out of here.
Where is that [unsubscribe] button?
only some & I think its few
Don’t scare the Koalabear 
i registered just to ask you about the word ‘Kalashnikov’ it is Russian and i would like to know more about ‘Kalashnikov’.
ok, here’s requests regarding three phrases… “Mind your P’s and Q’s”, “Sleep tight”, and “Wet your whistle.”
My hand is up I say ‘please miss’
Exceptionally good choice of phrases
I will second your nomination (but I bet someone else answers before I do so still I have to wait to be teachers pet Jeeh….Shucks as they say in the US)
Mind your P’s and Q’s and sleep tight are good ones. Wet your whistle is an easy one, but these will be a great lessons nonetheless.
Sure, I know these but my silence can be bought for the price of a brief mention by the pulchritudinous one.
But be happy with a mention ’cause teacher’s pet is quite a longshot. Bloody hell, as they say in the UK.
Nazdorovye.
Where exactly is your hand up, 2hotforwordsfanclub?
Location, location, location! Where are your manners, wordlover? Now there’s no need to discuss personal pathology here, is there? After all, lots of us have things we don’t tell others.
For example, guess what John Wayne Bobbitt changed his name to after the failed reattachment surgery?
Uh oh… deadpan delivery!
Les Johnson!
I’ve gotta try some of this Rolling Rock.
Good thing! He could have been named Richard Proboscis
Rolling Rock – yuck! Dutch beir Heineken iss veddy good!
Hahahahaha!
Do they still make Frothing Slosh Beer once a year?
Old Frothingslosh? The pale stale ale with the foam on the bottom?
well, if my source is correct, it look like the last few comments may be leading in the right direction for two of the phrase origins. hmmm
maybe… or then again maybe not
what came first the color orange or the fruit named orange?
Q: Which came first, the chicken or the egg?
A: Neither. The rooster came first.
You are punning to an exceptional standard tonight
Science finally decided the chicken came first. Roosters are chickens, just as are hens.
Yeah, but lividemerald didn’t get it…
You really wanted me to go for the OBVIOUS? Come now!!!
I come here to get my pun-ishment.
weren’t oranges called golden apples?
Orangutans can do some pretty mean golden showers!
If I should be punish’ed
for every little pun I shed,
then I’d hide my punnish head
inside a little puny shed!
Ferlinghetti, right?
Well it ain’t mine. It followed me home. Mom said I could keep it.
Yeah, right…
How about the origin of the word pissant?
au pissant?
or, …nevermind
How a canine views the world:
If you can’t eat it or hump it, piss on it.
Hello
–> For Marina
CAn you help me about word “Titanus” – ??
Is a latin world .
In english there are 2 words similar : Titans and Titanium.
English is a language with many latin words.
I dreams many times this word, I think that is many important.
The titanium is for eg. the metal + strong of the universe.
so the mean ot Titanus is at the base of the world ??
Can you help me ??
Ask me other details about this word.
Tanks,
Alex
nettitus,
“Titanous” is listed in my biggest dictionary (the Webster’s Illustrated Encyclopedic 1987).
But I want Marina to define it!
reduced to braggin’ about how big yer dictionary is??!
(it ain’t braggin’ if’n you kin do it!) LOL
I’m sure there are some who’ll say they use the Webster’s unabridged or some other gargantuan tome, chacha. It was a reference to the compactness of the book.
Butt I still think titanous is subject Man Ray only covered part way, if’n ya catch my drift…

Yes, I want some help with sex as well.. … …. … .. .

Hi Marina ,my trusty teacher.Could you please do a video on the word ‘Juggernaut’.
OK, Guys, we have a quorum; we’re having a field trip.
2hfwfc, you get the steaks and some of those fat ASDA sausages.
Pencil (PT9), you get the beer.
WL, you get the barbie.
and I’ll get the charcoal, matches and condoms.
WHAT!?
Well, of course we need condoms; how are we going to keep the matches dry if it rains?
Why, you didn’t think …?
Well really!
Like any 2 of us could agree on a brand of beer!
That’s why I delegated.
Next trip we all do a different task.
I’m off to bed now to test the condoms.
“night.
What happens to the ones that pass?
Uh… I’ll pass on the passed condoms…
Okay, then it’s Rolling Rock.
I’d thought you’d've chosen King Cobra…
1. I was testing the condoms, not passing them; too chewy and the smell puts you off.
2. If it’s Rolling Rock there’ll be no fishing ‘cos a Rolling Rock gathers no Mossbanker.

Hey Bob,
What the heck are ASDA sausages? Not sure I really want to know, but break it to me gently.
ASDA is a supermarket chain headquartered in Yorkshire, England, which is why 2hfwfc was allotted the task. It used to be independant but is now owned by WalMart.

Phrase origin request for Marina.
To be “in the soup”.
What does soup, or even hot water, have to do with trouble?
the way to cook a live frog is to bring up the heat slowly.
by the time he realizes he’s in hot water, he’s about done.
You, of course, realize that
the best soup is stone soup.

Hey Marina! I was wondering where and how the term “bread-winner” came about? Thank you as always!
My Finland-England dictionary says that the word GAME means the same as prey is that a typing mistake or is it true that game means prey
What was the Finnish translation? Was there more than one? “game” (»riista») can mean wild animals that are hunted and trapped for fur, etc.
As the equivalent of »peli» it can mean a fun activity, like a card game, etc.
Does that help?
Not meaning to queer the pitch or muddy the waters, but I’m wondering if ‘game’ (meaning hunted wildlife) derives from the same origins as ‘gamine’ meaning the sexy, boyish waif-look for a girl?
Or does “gamine” derive from Ganymede, the

I was wondering what does the word Rapscallion mean. And does it have anything to do with what we call rappers today?
I should have asked in my last message, but I was wondering about something. Why when the word sex is taken on its own it means gender or copulation, but when used as a morpheme, such as in sexagenarian and sexcentenary, it means 6 or 60? I can only guess they have different origins hence different meanings. Am I correct in thinking this?
For the Gird thing most have went for girdle, but being Scottish I have to go with girder. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfHFWq-YIOk
girder, a support used in building is derived from gird i think, teacher.
Hey Teach, Can You talk to Putan and tell Him to knock it off? His is making it really hard to keep Iran in check, without nuking them.

Word request: “decolletage” (accent aigu over the first “e”). I am reminded of this word whenever I see one of your videos. While I know the meaning, I suspect that it is not in the working vocabulary of many of your viewers, and you might be able to have some fun presenting an explanation.
duh. de’colletage, you need to be
gay of metro to even know this word.
I asked the renowned statistician, Marge Innovera (of “Click and Clack, the Tappett Brothers”) to conduct a survey of male YouTube viewers, aged 18 to 65. To the question, “Would you like to see HotForWords explain ‘decolletage?’”, 83.25% of those polled answered, “What, are you crazy? Of course!”. The rest were gay.
Hear, hear. Besides, there’s nothing wrong with inner-city bus and train operators being jubilant once in a while!
Especially during their jubilees, no?
sorry guys, My fingers can’t spell. GAY OR METRO. not…of…:>p
Well, it’s certainly in my working vocabulary. I try to keep abreast of common French words! Décolletage was first used in 1846 and was derived from décolleter, which originated in 1265. The verb décolleter stems from collet, which is the diminutive form of col (collar). My source: Le Petit Robert.
He didn’t get it from me!

Hi Marina,
I had just registered into your website to ask if you could explain where the expression “Gussied Up” came from? I know that this expression is used when someone is all dressed up. Thank you……..
How about kalashnikov
it is interesting word so i think it would be good to explain 
Poor Marina
Everyone is firing words at her
Like a claymore barrage!
bet her email counter goes to infinity…
Ever hear of Mikahail? The family last name of the man who invented the rifle.
The rifle. Specifically, the Kalash, right?
Da. Mikhail Timofeyevich Kalashnikov, “father” of the rifles that bear his patronymic. Avtomat Kalashnikova model 1947. With over 100 million of the AK series and their variants produced (RPK, SVD, Tygr, Saiga, shotguns, etc.), he has been twice named “Hero of Socialist Labor” (Герой работы социалиста) and awarded the Order of Saint Andrew the Protoclete (Заказ священнейшего Андрюа Protoclete). He even has a vodka named after him. I think at one time Russia even had a brand of Kalsahnikov or AK cigarettes. So with either with the rifles, vodka, or cigarettes he’s gonna get you!
LOL
so if i say “pass me the Kalashnikov”,
there’s a 1:3 chance it’ll be vodka?
melikadothechacha , you pay your money, you take your chances. It’s actually a 1 in 4 chance: you could either get the gun, the vodka, the cigarettes or Mikhail!
Hello HotForWords i would like to know where the word picknik comes from. I am dutch so i dont get it and i would really like to know.
Thank you miss marina
I believe we need a field trip to investigate that properly.
When are we going to get a field trip, Marina?
Take us to the beach, Teach, pretty pleeeeeeease.
I will second that motion
Yeah! Field trip! Let’s go!!!!
Field trip! Field trip! Field trip! Field trip! ~ (sempre accellerando)

The beach is too hot today (95 degrees F – new record)
but there’s a nice little pub across the street with AC.

If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the barbie.
Take that whichever way you want.
eddie- to me picnik would mean you pick where to have a niknak ,meaning a break with something to eat.sweet indeed…but i dont know just a good guess. …i didnt know i could reply,just noticed and put above also,sorry marina ,double copy…
Marina,
I watched the old movie Charade tonight.
You look alot like Audrey Hepburn!
Thanks again. +5
I’m an Audrey Hepburn fan, and I have that film. I hate to rain on your charade, but I don’t see the resemblance. Although Marina has made a funny face or two. And she’s worthy of our love in the afternoon. I have a heart of gold, and maybe she knows how to steal a million. And pehaps she drink a cup at home, and takes two for the road. Especially if she’s going on a Roman holiday in order to hear the nun’s story. Unless she’s off to Paris when it sizzles. In any event, she’s my fair lady, more enchantress than Sabrina. I’d like to be Robin to her Marian. I’d follow her to the gardens of the world. Or just have breakfast at Tiffany’s. Nope. Don’t see any resemblance.
Happy birthday Audrey (May 4)
Lividemereld, I’ll Always remember her.
Hey can you tell me where the word Caligynephobia comes from. I dont think anyone that has it will see this website though.
Be afraid – be very afraid LOL!

Another good lesson learned. Thanxs
Well ……….. good point………… which is the origin of cinematography

Good evening dear teacher. Tonight I wish to request the word “Truck”. It can refer to the vehicle or vegetables. How did it come to mean two very different things? Do they come from the same root?
And there’s also “truckle” – the round piece of cheese. I wonder if that has the same roots? I love the word truckle – it makes me chuckle.
And there’s also “trickle” which rhymes with “nickle” – the round piece of copper-nickel alloy. I love the word trickle – it tickles my pickle.
Sorry, oysterfrond, I just had to parody that. No offence intended…
None taken, wordlover. Nothing troubles my bubble!
treacle? we could have some pancakes at St. Alphonso’s
Mickle a pun here, y’know!
Trudgin’ across the tundra mile after mile.
Are you SURE you meant to put that?

Oysterfrond, I didn’t know cheese had roots. How extensive is the root system? I suppose the roots come from the nursery wrapped in burlap, which is to say, a cheeseball.

The Nuberians original name for our planet was Tiamat. Then 4 of their moons smacked into the planet and roughly split it in half, sending much of it to make the “hammered bracelet” which is the asteroid belt and the rest became comets and meteors that still follow the trajectory of Nibiru. The Sumerians/Nuberians named the new planet EA, meaning water after their chief scientific officer Enki, who created us by hybridizing not apes, but our close ancestor. Many upgrades were made producing all the dead end lines of man.
What an extraordinary story.
Extraordinary? It’s old hat! Everybody knows that!
I played hooky (hookie?) that day, I guess
I was bein’ fæcetious!
According to historical records meticulously kept by Neanderthal scholars, the Nuberians were full of it.
Full of fæces?
I thought those were the Chuck Berryans.
Didn’t they back up the Small Fæces? Or was it Chuck & the New Berryans?
You’re thinking of the Dingleberryans.
Or was it the Fartleberryans?
Its not a story. I am a research scientist and its written down in the earliest history. Read the 12th Planet series books by Zecharia Stichin. I didn’t want to believe it, and did my best to discount it, but was overwhelmed by the evidence.
Neanderthals were one of the experimental dead end lines that couldn’t perform math and therefore worked the gold mines of East Aftrica, rather than serve in Mesopotamia. Unfortunately all the lines valued their white god masters and that is why every culture today, values and looks up to white color. They also look up to tall people because the Nuberians were around 13′ tall. Look what happened to the Incas when they saw the white Spaniards, and every other culture the white man visited.
Thats what I thought at first. Its more like Constipation of the brain than full of feces. History is mysteriously starting around 500AD (because all the original books have “disappeared”) and not 6,000BC where ample written records in stone by the Sumerians exist (like the 40,000 tablets with star systems that are unknown to us.)
You see, we are all a mix of various capabilities and some are not psychologically able to accept the evident truths, due to their genetic composition. Those with more Australopithecus blood will deny the evidence, being more earth oriented and have a strong motivation to deny they have less “god” lineage in them.
Funny, but you are correct because you and Chuck Berry are related by some percentage measured with a lot of zeros. And in fact you qualify as an alien, although not 100% by definition.
Now, I see the same people are replying nonsense to everyone, not just my answer. You are attempting to create a diversion from truth and I assume you are paid by evil forces to clog up a non-establishment learning source (this web site) in order to discredit/diminish/belittle any real intelligence. You are non sexy with your infatuation with negativity, stupidity and the anus. Just remember, what you think and say will come back to you, only more of it.
kenneth555, you crack me up!!!!!!
bar bar bar barbarians
Sorry to make light of your research, kenneth555. You’re right, there are lots of silly remarks made here and I must admit I can’t say I never made any. But I didn’t realize you were serious until your second installment. The Sumerians were a subject of recent research for me as well. But Zecharia Stichin is a name unknown to me.
Nonetheless, I thought I had a pretty good understanding of this type of stuff from my anthropology classes. Of course, most of Iraq is not a fun site selection for archaeological fieldwork at the moment… Too bad; I would have loved to have checked out Uruk-Warka and Tell-Hassuna during my upper-division semesters.
Have you personally done any archaeology on this? Please fill me in, I’m uninformed. What are his data sources? Has any of this evidence been published by anthropological journals?
Sitchin is the premier researcher in biblical studies, i.e, early history. I myself have a Presidential award from the White House for my work in medicine. I have over 12 years of higher education and if anyone in an archaeology or anthropology class discussed truth, they would be out of a job in a fortnight. You must look to the fringes. In Iraq, the first thing invading soldiers did was secure all the pyramids and let everyone loot the museums. The pyramids are still the #1 guarded object. I won’t tell you what was unearthed in Bath, Iran last year, but its larger than a football field and has vertebrae. Iraq is closed now and forever and very soon I expect everything from Egypt to S.A. to go the same way. Sitchin decided to treat the Sumerian texts as literal rather than poetical as all the other “researchers” do. He just translated a 4 bladed helicopter as a “helicopter” rather than a “winged chariot”. Besides there were drawings of this aircraft. He draws on every expert imaginable from retired NASA experts, to geologists, to archaeologists, to anthropologists, etc. Everyone is brought in to rationally discuss the works. I don’t know what is published in the journals, but his books have sold millions of copies and are translated into many major languages, (including Russian, Marina). You would do best by reading his works starting with either the Book of Enki which is a historical narrative written by Enki himself, or just start with the series and at least get to the third book and decide for yourself. The other books are scientific proofs and a slow read and require a lot of thought.
Now I encourage you and others to make really intelligent and sexy comments like your reply to me on 5/12, because that is what will probably make Marina happy.
Now I believe I see the problem here. Marina does a class act and its difficult to follow. She works really hard on making her body a wonderful present. She speaks impeccably, dresses perfectly with wonderful variety and assists us in a daydream. She is also very funny. Sometimes I laugh so much at her funny facial expressions, even when I am angry at something else. And she did a great comedy routine with her sister on loootenant. Can we see your sister, because she is funny too! Now Marina does a sexy, intelligent class act and that is making some people feel left out, so instead of getting in the spirit and being intelligent themselves, they do the opposite, kind of like the good guy bad guy routine or the pretty girl who walks with the not so pretty one, or the blonde who is friends with the asian. Its about maximizing attention. Really the best way of getting positive attention is follow the teacher. Notice how Marina talks in complete sentences in a rehearsed but natural manner. Notice how she smiles with a positive image (read Louise Hay for this). Notice how she treats things with intellectual curiosity rather than rote memory. Notice she is playful and light, even dainty? Do you remember the last thing she says? Be GOOD my students – in what way does she mean when she says this? To be a smart aleck class disruptor? Marina really needs your positive, creative and intelligent responses because she reads these comments and stupid or negative ones effect her mind. If you want to enjoy a good performance in her next video, simply encourage her to higher levels by happy comments.
hmmm, why so serious? guys
i agree almost what u said,
( u reply my comment)
so i think almost if u reffer to me im learning english,

I don’t mean to be gross, but I am curious as to the origin of the word “lugie” or “loogie”, as in http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=lugie or http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/loogie.
i would like to know exactly what the word FUCK means, and its origins
For

In the time of the Puritans,

Ya still there, pennsyltucky9?

Dear HotForWords Teacher,
Is the name for front fork assembly on an older styled motorcycle commonly called a ‘girder’ front end originated from gird. I always thought it was much like a girder styled bridge. And of course there is the common wrap called a ‘girdle’.
You are looking fantastic tonight
Okay Marina. I got a couple words for you.

What’s the origin of “Astor’s Horse?”
Astor? Didn’t he go down with the Titanic?
an idea,
! 
John Jacob Astor went down with Titanic on the same date (different year) that Lincoln was shot, April 14. (gee whiz – I used something I picked up on here!). The expression “I found Astor’s pet horse”. or “dolled up like Lady Astor’s horse” is significant relative to JJA.
The origin?
You’ll just have to check back when Marina posts her lessons.
Hello Marina,
I’d like to know the origin of the expression Catch 22.

Hi Marina,
I got really confused today when playing your video because a youtube video (ad on the right) started playing at the same time as your video… It made no sense till I discovered the ad and turned it off. You may not want that to auto play…. Some sites uses ads with a video loop that plays
and have an audio button “See this with Audio” kind. I’d recommend that.
ENJOY!

I would have to guess girdle for the related common word.
ok I’m new.. big surprise…anyways, my sister found you and I thought this was cool so I thought of a word for you. I have a cat and I love her… she has these green eyes and I was looking at them one day and thought iridescent, and that’s my word, iridescent. I have looked up the word and I know it don’t mean green, it’s more like a rainbow, but thought you might like it

Girdle
Gird (also can be known as Gopasetra in ancient times, or Gwalior region later) is a region of Madhya Pradesh state in central India. It includes the districts of Bhind, Gwalior, Morena, Sheopur, and Shivpuri. Gwalior is the largest city in the region, and its historic center.
The Chambal and Yamuna rivers form the northwestern and northern boundaries of the region. Hadoti region of Rajasthan lies to the southwest, Malwa region of Madhya Pradesh lies to the south, and Bundelkhand region of Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh lies to the east. Gird is sometimes considered part of Bundelkhand.
Not to be confused with GIRD (Gastro-Intestinal Reflux Disease).
Most you always comment my sayings lol
I HAVE to let these puns out! They accumulate and for every one I don’t release a lightbulb explodes somewhere in the world… Naw, just kiddin’: the world would be pitch black if that were the case…
Do you mean ‘GERD’ gastroesophageal reflux disorder of which I have been suffering with for over 35 years now
GIRD (Gastro-Intestinal Reflux Disease) is a legitimate term along with GERD (Gastro-Esophageal Reflux Disorder/Disease), it’s just that GIRD (the clinical term) and Gird (the toponym) are spelt the same, hence the pun.
I got yet another right…could it be your are making me smarter.
.
Just out of curiosity, Marina, you didn’t get rid of paged comments, did you?
There’s some very helpful info in some of the early comments of each page! 
I made the paged comments sort of go away as it seems to lose pages sometimes, I think? Or does it? What did you want to say about them?
Oh, just that sometimes people ask a question that’s already been answered in detail in an earlier page/lesson, and that it’s kind of a bummer to have to type it all out again.
But if you can’t change it or whatever, don’t worry!
Hey,that was some of my best work
I liked what Marina did, and you can even delete some of mine own
comments to others
AND I did ask some good questions of
some very, very good words and/or phrases.
I like watching the videos and your games are tough for me,
I admit that I’m NOT a Philologist but I love learning something
new in a whole new way.
I want to acknowledge you powerfully, Marina for your powerfully
thoughtful and ORIGINAL
website
and it has really made a difference in my life because I’m actively
researching in the local University Library lately some of your
hard words.
warmly,
Nelson
so, all comments to one lesson are on one page again, did I get that right? good thing. this way I don’t have to worry about not being able to read some comments anymore.
maybe you should limit the amount of postings for every poster to, say, 50 posts per day. yeah, yeah, I know what you’re gonna say, you don’t want to be too restrictive and all. and basically I agree. just a thought though. for the record.
I had gotten used to the paged comments, but this is fine too. As long as the comments are on here, it’s fine.
nbeltran – fyi – I’m not sure if you’re typing that way purposefully, but your posts are hard to read with all the disjointed line breaks. Maybe you’re typing them in some other application and pasting them here, or something. But, yours are
coming out like
this and
it becomes difficult to follow
your
train of thought.
I agree with Fezzik (rather, prospero811). LOL
It’s very difficult
to understand you, nbeltran, because your
flow is interrupted every ten words or
so. LOL
So, please just type normally and don’t
worry about the text-wrapping, since it
is taken care of automatically by your
browser, I think. LOL
Maybe it’s merely an NLP way
of suggesting that we look at
life differently and not spurn other
systems of writing such as that found
on the Phaistos Disc or even the strange
and beautiful writing which adorns the
Rongo-Rongo tablets. LOL
Not to mention the eye-wrecking system
the Greek used called “Boustrophedon”. I
mean how would you like to have to
read every sentence like this:
Hi, my name is Nelson and I’m involved in

Marina, please open you comment box again
Marina, please read this (I always forget to add that…)!
Please do a Guess the Word Origin Game for the word “Lego®”. I think you can do proprietary names legally if they’re used in a linguistic context.

What do you get if you drop a waffle on the beach? A San Diego.
Groan!
Groan? How does that relate to—
Nevermind…
how about researching the loanword “smorgasbord” or the word “viking”?
thot it was smorgasborg, as in
we-are-borg
I am Locutus of Smorg. Resistance to herring, salmon and eel is futile. Your appetite will be assimilated… we will add your distinctive menu of dishes to our own… your buffet, as it has been, is over…

Barf out. Gag me with a spoon. I am so sure! Totally…
How about a girdle? Not that you would have any personnal experience in wearing one
As far as rating your videos: on a scale of 1 to 100 (and nobody ever gets 100) you get a 101!!!!
Can you tell me the origin of the word, or name Arden? I know of two possible answers: 1) from the shakespearian garden of love, peace and tranquility.
2) derived from the German forest of Ardan (?) where the battle of the bulge occurred (and they didn’t have a girdle to help them win, either)
…and the bulges were bigger, besides.
I think there is an Arden, Nevada.
How about researching the phrase “Bear with me”, why do they use the word bear when they want someone to be patient with something?
I would rather have Marina do “bare with me.”
Here is a word, or symbol rather. The origin of the”@” (at) symbol.
I am a computer nerd and would find it interesting but I have a sneaky suspicion it did not come from the computer industry.
Here’s a word “exhausterbate”.
Is it related to exacerbate?
Naw, “exhausterbate” is what you car does when it runs out of flabbergas.
man who run in front of car get TIRE-d
man who run behind car get EXHAUST-ed
Dear revered teacher
Well, nill ! ! ! ! My skill in the idiomatic expression is absolutly inexistant ! I thought the one with pigs was funny but of course without google or wikipedia…..

Are those charcoal sobriquets?
Dear fellow student
It is of importance to me to be as clear as possible! As my english and spanish are a mix of french, german, italian, spanish, latin and words I’ve heard or that only make sense to me, I’m obliged to make a concise explanation of what I said in my Sobriquets! (Hey this is the longest sentence I ever wrote!) My problem is that I don’t know if the words I use are english or american!

Your Thinking of the word Girdle. I was kinda hoping you had left off the habit of always making two the answer, that’ll teach me huh?
Laughter is the strangest of all the languages and yet we all know what it means no matter your country of origin or your spoken language. I know it is not in itself a language per se but it should be classified as one since it is the only vocalization that spans the globe which everyone understands.
Your question.. The origins of laughter,laughing,to laugh,etc.
Please expound on this.
P.S. I like your nose.
LOL
Homework: Girdle, it’s like that thing for when you have a bad back.
You mean like a Boston back-brace?
Well, I guess. never heard of a “Boston back-brace” myself.
I was bein’ silly, RBM.
You said “bad back” and it made me think of some dude having trouble bending over to pick up a newspaper.
Dear, Marina
I love your videos and I would like you to search the origin of the word “peace”. “Peace” as in when people say good – bye to each other and “peace” as in when countries want to declare it. Do they have anything in common? And how did they come about. Thank – you Marina. I hope you use my word.
Sincerely, dankapa from YouTube.
Directed To Marina, the Philologist only;
What is the origin of the word, Stoic ?
or phrase “empty and meaningless”
or even “procrastinate ?”
warmly,
Nelson
A Stoic is what brings the baby.
A Cynic is what you bathe it in.
Can’t you read, Bob! OH MY GOD THE WORLD IS GOING TO EXPLODE!!!!! HELP! HEEEEEEEEEEEELP! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES: SHE’S GONNA BLOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PS—I think he meant, “the only Philologist”, since I don’t count as one in his book…
don’t cut the red wire!
YAAAAAAARGS!
I’d rather have a free-bottle-in-front-of-me,
than a prefrontal lobotomy
Well, we ALL would, chacha!
It’s all (your Assumptive, useless posts) are
“empty and meaningless,” lots of invented stories going on here, so I
won’t get caught in any useless chatter, joke, made-up or weird
coaching/training especially Dr. pennsyltucky9
very, very original cut and
paste COLUMN(BOB’s “Dr Phil” imitation column) about 2 videos
back. I feel
like Matt Damon’s character in the movie, Good Will Hunting where he
has a debate
with some History major in the bar over some ugly british woman?
(He’s quoting some unheard historical narrative??)
and the it appears NOONE has any original ideas except for me!!
“How do you like them apples?”
So any answer from any of you or coaching is one word retorts
and stupid one-liners?? LOL
I thought a few of you were real library READERS/Researchers
because “Leaders
are readers” according to Tony Robbins. LOL
I choose the “blue pill” and obviously some of you can’t READ
fine print, and I wonder about your regular neuro strategies;
“How you do anything is How you do everything.” (Harv T. Eker)
I really wonder if some of you have “thanatos” breathing down your
necks in the form of judging, assessing and justifications
and “persistent complaints”(80% of you) about other participants
here.
One may imagine learning from Marina, The true Philologist
with childlike curiousity,
tenacious resolve and deep profound understanding as you
watch her videos easily and effortlessly, now or not?
nowww!!!
Don’t post anything unless you know the difference between
“being” something versus just plain “knowing” the word.
I’m just laughing at those past few posts you guys and gals left
a few videos ago???
LOL
Discorporate your mind, this is a forum!
It’s give, and take here. If you want to
sound like an effitist, by all means;
this is your opportunity.
Glad you like the posts and funny business.
Join in, have fun.
Thanatos breathing down our necks???? I feel a cold chill on the nape…
By the way… What is the Matrix? LOL
nbeltran does not appear to be a happy little vegemite.
bad hair day?
Well said koala you cuddly little fellow
I think that our evidently learned potential friend nbeltran is a bit new to the site and hasn’t quite got the hang of the jolly fun time we all have here sharing each other’s literal knowledge and stories where we all exercise the ability to use the cheesiest puns possible so that we all feel nausious.
Don’t forget that some cultures struggle to understand other ones even when the same language is spoken.
Maybe he/she will wake up tomorrow on the right side of the bed on a lovely bright and sunny day, smile and look again and see what us clowns are all babbling on about and join in the fun. I really hope so.
No i am not trying to be smart or patronising I got the wrong end of the stick at the beginning.
Don’t hold your
(OMG, I’m so scared! What’s he gonna
) LOL
breath, 2hotforwordsfanclub! nbeltran is the
founder of NLP!
do, bite us…?
Jeez-Louise, even L. Ron
Hubbard made more sense than
nbeltran… LOL
oh, that we could all be happy little vegemites!
2HFWFC, I applaud your use of the olive branch. (that’s a switch.)
I think nbeltran fits right in with us flunkies. Look at how much thought he put into his tirade! sure sign of love.
Fellas, it’s easy to take cheap shots
but we’re better than that!
Don’t you remember your first
day at school? Besides, I was
intimidated at first. Didn’t post
nuthin’; didn’t know anybody.
Now look at me. Addicted.
He was pretty brave hanging
it out like that, even if we
don’t agree. I say we don’t
kill him, just yet LOL!!
Have to admit, the mention he gave me felt vaguely akin to to an almost purposeful snub of sorts. I’m, shall we say, touched?
Guys, don’t be too hard on Nelson.
If you had spent the last 165 years perched atop an erection in a public square with no-one for company but a flock of pigeons, you’d be full of shit too.
Ouch Bob
Huh-huh, Bob said “hard on”…
The poodle bites! The poodle chews it!
Poodle?

- wordlover, these are
lyric bits from FZ and
the MOI.
I mean I’m wondering what connection it had to the previous comment.
The crux of the biscuit is the apostrophe.

There are several cognates here, actually, Marina. The most obvious being “girth”. Others are “girdle” and BION “yard”.
BTW, you look HOT in HOT pink! Mwwwwwwwwah!
Marina,
Please decide to investigate the origin of “tuckered out”, as in “I’m really tuckered out.”
By 1950, Preston was all tuckered out. The long trial had torpedoed his dream car.
Nevertheless, he reluctantly Preston…
hold that tiger!
This is a legend in the Native American folklore. The legend I’m talking about is the legend of the White Buffalo. Do you know what this is and is there such an animal?
cool! direct hit! It’s #2. Anyways, I believe it’s girder-a heavy support beam used for construction.
I am interested in the Japanese word, zanshin, if that is ok.
Thank you.
Marina:
Girdle. Which comes from Gird which comes from the Old English Gyrdan.
Bill
Excellent show again marina. you know i want to believe that you look exhausted you must be working alot, Allow me to recomend that you don’t smoke or drink and get lots of sun light, R&R also no late night clubbing, yes I am 100% serious, If you want
some exotic fun buy a pole for your house and invite a bunch of friends for pole dancing and strip poker, be sure that you don’t invite any family members or evil twins it would put a crimp on the whole exotic fun and time to .. ( you know what I mean…)..
I am a follower of a few words: dopamine, tenure, curse, hex, supersticous, superficial, begger, tease, ect.. words of these caliber quiz me… So please educate me and strengthen our moral, you keep up the good work all the shows have been great.
Marina next time you think of buying a new or used car I want to dare you to buy one of the hybrids or fully electrics, I myslef am in the market for a off road street legal dirt bike and a yacht, so i can travel like captain jack
I want to hang on the limb again and dare you to buy a fully electric, like the sporty tesla. or at least be so conservative buy a super nice vespa moped so that you can keep your self in check,
With Love From Cimska 
Also someone like you should buy the H-1 or H-3 and convert it to 100 mpg what is a better idea than that
any general motors vehicles can be upgraded to 100 mpg from 13mpg ask http://www.youtube.com 
With Love From Cimska
Play my requests
Dude!! Get a Bio-diesel catalytic reactor.
Synthesize diesel from cooking grease.
Recycle a resource without raising the
price of corn in the process. Al Gore’s
kid could only do 100 MPH in a hybrid.
By the way, he got caught by a gasoline
powered car, try that in a hybrid!
Biodiesel doesn’t require
any conversion to your engine.
You could drive your Mercedes
with a fuel cost as low as 80 cents
per gallon! The price includes all
but the time required to collect
and process used cooking grease.
And you can still travel and burn
regular diesel. Electric cars are
notorious for having limited range.
Best of all, stick to Shanks’s Pony…
Cimska, I forgot to ask you, where are you from?
I live in the USA
Is English your 1st language?
Yes….. Born in the USA but No I’m not russian like cimska,
Что вы… «like cimska»
Не понимаю!
what about you where are you from
I, too, was born in and live in the USA
How old are you?
Why do you ask?
Phew
Too phew replies from Cimska, it seems…
A: girdle and girder
Marina, I would like to know the beginnings of the word “scosche” as a unit of measurement. I hear it a lot from older people here in the Midwest. Thank you Marina.
I’ll tell you, jeffsstress—in my usually self-professing manner!
Scosche, more commonly spelt “skosh”, is a loanword from Japanese 少し (sukoshi), and means “a little” in both English and Japanese.
yeah, I got that from wikipedia too
1. Skosh: Just a little. From Japanese sukoshi “a little”
but also got this too.
2.Scosch is a unit of measure used in ancient cultures, specifically the tribes of the Indo-Aryans. The particular amount which was designated by this unit is still debated.
Just wondering what Marina’s take on it is.
Oops! Sorry!
Good question, though.
I would have thought skosh was Yiddish.
Would you like a schmeer of cream cheese on that?
No, I’ll have a skosh more than a schmeer.
נאָר אַ סקאָש, זײַט אַזױ גוט.
or a smidgeon of a schmeer?
Just a little less than a smattering.
WL, sorry, I can’t read Hebrew.
Sorry. It said (in YIVO) “Nor a skosh, zayt azoy gut.” Which means, “Just a skosh, please.”
Marina, How do you get up so early. Or is this a late night? Are you just an old fashion gal?. Or NOT. What sort of ….Fun do you like? Cars, Horses, anything?
girdle, girder, …griddle? Marina, You tell youboob, FFck and die. Give them something to bitch about.
“FFck and die”? That’s a nasty phrase for a less-than-18-year-old, don’t ya think?
maybe 30 years ago when I was under 18.
Just teasin’!
Seriously, though, I hate redtape! Don’t you? Even iTunes has it! I hate it when practically every site requires a credit card to do business—even if you’re using a giftcard! Damn, that’s crazy!
I’d like to find the origin of the word “Sneakers”
if possible what were “Tennis Shoes” called before Tennis?
generally, what the shoes we use to run were originally called
Moccassins.
Canvas deck shoes?
BTW, ,,i umopap!sdn w,I,, is brilliant!
can’t claim it as mine.
it was brilliant enough
to recycle, eh?
Can you explain it?
It is what it is. Look at it harder.
Hmm…
(inordinately long pause)
Nope! Still don’t get it…
make it spin and stare it down.
You guys are just tryin’ t’ embarrass me!

When the police were trying to catch Jack the Ripper they started coating the bottoms of their boots with rubber so the could walk quietly down the streets at night undetected. They started calling all rubber soled shoes “sneakers”.
Are you sure about this buddy because sneakers is not an English word.
Whaddaya mean “sneakers is not an English word”? Where the hell’d we get it then? Ojibwa? ᓴᓂᑲᐢ
sneak IS an english word! Therefore;
one who sneaks is a sneaker, right?
See? Like I said, moccassins.
Then make that:
from Ojibwa ᒪᑭᓯᐣ
“gum shoe” was another
term for a detective back
in the day (before my time).
“Gum shoe” also sounds like a Korean dish: 금슈
Before Tennis!!??
I know they have been playing a form of tennis in England since the 16th century (and probably before that). You’ll have to ask King Henry VIII what is Grandfather called his shoes then you might get a pretty close guess.
can you please give us the origin of the word POPULAR?!
What he hell , Youtube is making people prove they are 18 to listen to Marina?? Piche Jues.
What next , A blur on Her chest?
There are some people out there that find sexually attractive women to be offensive (even when fully clothed). My theory is that the same video made by an unattractive, overweight woman (or a man), would not be objected to (and it’s those objections/reports from viewers that cause youtube’s system to mark it 18 and over).
I have dubbed this theory the “Hooters Principle.” Everywhere Hooters restaurants try to go, there are protests and objections levied by morality police. However, put unattractive, overweight women in the same garb, doing the same things, and I am positive there would be no protests or objections. Logically, therefore, it is not the garb or the activities of the women that is at issue, but their attractiveness.
Hey…that’s good! I think I’m going to write a piece about the Hooters Principle. I like it!
I think you’ve got the makings of an anthropological or sociological doctoral thesis there. I’d love to read what you come up with!
Personally, I wanna know what prospero811 has come down with…
I (being a middle age white man in the middle of the USA) wouldn’t usually suggest playing a card, but isn’t this just a prejudice. I mean, what kind of world do we live in when being “Pretty” or “Handsome” is treated like some sort of crime?
Yes, jeffsstress, I agree, we must fight this invidious discrimination against extremely attractive and sexually appealing people! Those of us in the “hot community” as we can refer to it have been for far too long treated differently than everyone else.
As aptly stated by Derek Zoolander, “I’m pretty sure there’s a lot more to life than being really, really, ridiculously good looking. And I plan on finding out what that is.”
wordlover – i’m having a difficult time understanding the innuendo there….
Prospero, I said come up with, so wordlover said come down with.
I don’t think there’s much more to it than a paronomastic compulsion.
Also, prospero811, the way you were talking about hooters made it sound like you had come down with (say) cat scratch fever… I dunno.
Paronomastic – nice!
…it’s probably just Hooter fever!
Careful, prospero811, the Brits here may think that you’ve got some strange fetish for noses…
WL, help me out with the nasal connection there?
In British slang “hooter” means “nose”.
Well, “hooter” singular is a nose (to a Brit anyway). “Hooters” plural – well – it isn’t really Brit slang I think – but most of us know what you mean
Is “hooters” general US slang – or is it redneck – feels like the latter to me – could be wrong…
Nick
Uncle Joe (he’s movin’ kind of slow) told me that Hooters are young ladies from Hooterville.
Hell, I always thought hooters were your great horny owls off a-courtin’ in the moonlight.
That’s not what my hootin’ nanny told me!
I bet she could allemand left and do-si-do with the best of ‘em.
I would like to request the word “fuck”
klekkus,
It is [F]ornication [U]nder [C]onsent of the [K]ing.

A person in the olden days was arested (F)or (U)nlawfull (C)arnal (K)nowledge If they were caught in adultery. So *UCKing was a bad thing. That’s why is has a negative conotation today.
Steel girders are beams that connect or bind together other beams. I’m not in construction so that’s all I got.
We all know that you’re not in construction Bogdan, because you have been around for ages and can’t send emails until you are complete.
Finally got to see the video everybody was fussing about… sex & violence, in a pool yet…all good.
Hey I got one right #2, whoda thunk it
Well I got it right but I just wasn’t first. Nice class Teach. I learned a new way to look up the answers instead of using Google.
hey! I was wondering where the term ‘caucasian’ comes from. thanks so much!
Russian mountains.
What?
No I’m not fixated on Marinas…
Well, not much, anyway.
Did you get that answer right by occident?
Any more cheek from you, Proz, and I’ll do a Jethro Gibbs and slap you on your occiput.
Doesn’t it depend on whose ox is being gored?
caucasian and caucus seem to be from the same root word.
as I learned re. male/female lesson; this is not always the case.
what’s the story here?
The Caucasus Range? That’s where caucasian derives from. Check the map of Eurasia somewhere between the Black and Caspian seas, I think. That’s the start of all this trouble.
“Caucus” is from the Algonkian for counselor, so no connection there. That’s Native American, from the Northeast Mid-atlantic region.
Secaucus? A city in New Jersey.
Jersey? Which exit? LOL
Good explanation, thanky
Shucks, t’weren’t nuthin’…
sorry, i think you didnt like the way i said it. but nevermind..
i was thinking about the word “bullshit”. if it doesnt bother you,
please i wanna know the origin =P
still love you, marina!
one day ill marry you =DD
Get to the back of the queue, bangsok, there’s 60,000 of us waiting already; or is it 60,000,000?
Bob, at last count it was 68,238,542! But if bangsok decides to stay it’ll bring the total to 68,238,543
Lessee… 68,238,542 at $1 per 1000/hits is… around 60K
at $3/hit.. now you’re talkin’ Mercedes Benz + insurance.
Gulp!
Uh… yeah!
60K makes for a nice Lexus +, though
even kick in a pine tree air freshener
for that price!
Wow! You responded EXACTLY twenty-four hours ago in this post! Good timin’, chacha! How do you do it?
purely, luck of the draw
Another word based on gird is girdle.
Conversely, could a word based on grid be griddle?
Obversely, could a word based on garb be garble?
Obviersely
obviously.
Obliviously.
obliged to obviate the obfuscation of a lovely word anymore. sorry if that seems obtuse.
You’ve managed to obnubilate quite obscenely. You are obnoxious, obsequious, obdurate, obtrusive and obstreperous.
I couldn’t ask for a more glowing endorsement!
You taught me a couple great words, Pros! Thanks!
I give you obeisance, turtlewax.
oh boy…
Inversely, could a word based on grab be grabble?
No, that would be based on Betty.
Wouldn’t that be a Rubble?
No, that’s a unit of Russian currency.
Now cut that out!
ow! i cracked a rib laughing!
Yeah, a day later!
hey HotForWords!
People use the word SATIRE a lot and I never understand it
Could you explain it for me?
PS love your lipgloss!
satire, as in parody?
or half man half goat?
(annoying child’s voice) The former, sillygoose! The latter is spelt satyr and is pronounced like Saturn except without the “n”. Y’know, Saturn, the planet! It’s a BIIIIIIIIIIIG planet. Not as big as Jupiter, which is the largest object in our solar system next to the sun. Next to the sun meaning next in measurement, NOT next to in space! OW that would hurt! Ih-he-he, ih-he-he!
You remember every frickin’ detail doncha??!
I can’t breath am laughing so hard!!
its all there…
latter, former, spelt – thanks for reminding me why of i do this
ergo: satyre is a parody about a half man half goat from …space?
Don’t tell Mom the baby satyr’s dead!
Shh… Don’t tell her it’s me!
(
)
Sorry I’m late; I shouldda responded to this on Satyrday.
hey HotForWords your looking georgous as ever! anyway i have a word request for you:
discombobulated
i would appriciate if you could do video on this

Dear Miss HFW: Girdle: to tie things up: nylons to the legs, and make a womans waist seem smaller, example, corset. I heard (my grandma?/read)somewhere that some ladies had their lowest rib removed surgically on both sides, to get that hour glass figure. Cher comes to mind. I have an 1865 Victorian Fainting couch, which I guess was named after the popularity of women of that day. They tightened their waist to attract the opposite sex, then came home, took off the above item and fainted for lack of air. Girder/construction, and grid/network are not really the answer.
Just lika penguin in bondage, boing!
Would that be in the frostbite nite with her flaps gone white, shreiking as she spots the hoop across the room?
(or, if you prefer: “Rennenhenninnahenninnenninahenn.”)
knew you’d like that.

Hi Marina word request follows :-
Since there is a lot of pirate movies currently around, what about a video on the origin of “buccaneer”.
It appears to have something to do with barbecues or something, but how did it get to be synonymous with “pirate”?
At least it would be a good chance on a video to dress up in fancy dress and wear an eye patch etc. Also throw in a few references to “walk the plank me hardies” or you’ll be “keeled hauled”.
all the best

There was a bounty on the capture of brigands: two dollars, or a buck an ear.
I never know if you’re being serious or not, Penny.
Yeah, I told him the same thing awhile back! He never answered me!
I wonder if, by not answering me, he was being serious or not? 
If you want me to answer a question, you’ll just have to learn how to pose it in a reply box that still has a reply button left in it! Basically:
No emoticons=deadpan delivery.
It’s been my long-time habit to maintain my composure and communicate using actual words (except where my gravatar is concerned- for it, I prefer to maintain my decomposure). If this is confusing, just ask Dave.
AArr! Hoist me yardarm and shiver me timbers!
You totally crack me up.
Marina, you should wait for September 19th to roll around. It would be great fun to watch you celebrate International Talk Like A Pirate Day!
She should “remain inactive and in a state of repose” for September 19? Can’t she go about her business as usual until then?
Did you get a papercut from pushing the envelope at the Literalists Conventioin, Pros?
Hahahaha!
Nice doube-entendre there.
Shiver me timbers, set the main sail and gird me loins
Is this national talk like a pirate day real ?
If so we are not blessed with in in the UK
Shiver me timbers, set the main sail and gird me loins
No WL it isn’t deja vu. It was the parrot
2HFWFC, you can help bring International Talk Like A Pirate Day to the UK! http://www.talklikeapirate.com/piratehome.html
All you have to do is celebrate it and promote it.
It started in the US, but it has been adopted by many in Australia.
I’ve worked with whole teams that observe this great holiday all day long. It’s contagious, though ill-advised on a conference call with India.
Arrr!
Lash yer tongues ewe scurvy dogs, Aar!

Bwak! Pieces of eight!
How come there are no aspirins in the jungle? Because the parrots eat ‘em all!
(this joke has shuffled off this mortal coil, it’s gone to meet its maker, it’s joined the choir invisible, it has ceased to be – it is an ex-joke)
Yeah, but then you won’t know that I’m responding to your previous comment unless you compare their timestamps.
See?
Who ARE you talking to? ( begin Robert DeNiro “Taxi Driver” voice here) You talkin’ to me? Are YOU talkin’ to ME?
Ahem… I said, “See?”
Well, technically, if I answer your Taxi Driver bit, I’ll have to do so down HERE so that you can have the pleasure of clicking the [Reply] button! Awwwww! Ain’t I sweet?
Awww, I’m touched (in the head, but you knew that). So be it ever so humble, whether I’m serious or joking just might have to remain a pertinent element of my weblog persona mystique.
Can you like, dig where it is that I’m comin’ to ya from at, mon?
Maybe…
But I doubt I’ll EVER get used to replying to your comments this way!
Thanks Marina.
Looking beautiful as ever.
I think the “Guess the Word” game is a great idea and I hope that you have many more planned. It’s a bit of a challenge and fun to participate in.
4 in a row!
Awesome! (it was “B”, right?)
Yes.
Keep up the good work.
You could make the
honour roll!
good morning
girdle
Weird – I never knew that “gird” also meant, “to gibe or jeer.” Did that word evolve independently of “gird” as in gird one’s loins? Or did it evolve from gird one’s loins?
Wierd….is that the same as Wyrd?
Ever see that before?
I’ve seen it used in a couple of different ways while reading.
Not the same, but maybe they have a relation. It seems “wyrd” means
“fate personified; any one of the three Weird Sisters” (a.k.a the Norns or Fates). So did “that’s weird” as in “that’s strange” begin as “that’s wyrd” as in “that’s a strange fate?”
Interesting……That may be worth Marina’s attention!
seem to recall from MacBeth and whatnot that permutations of weird abound and relate to the unearthly (or maybe ultra earthy) nature of the 3 sisters/fates/furies/witches. strange doesn’t do the connotation justice when you think about the imagery of those weird women. Pros, this actually ties naturally (or unnaturally, in this case) to your thesis on the fear of women, physicality, and antifeminism, AKA “the Hooters Principle.”
Think about that rant a little while ago on the ‘evils’ of breast augmentation. How different is that from the portrayal of furies like Medusa? It’s all about fear and insecurity.
Hmm. Maybe I should write something on this too.
girdle?
girder – support beam
I’m going with girdle.
Now, another request, while still waiting for Double Dutch and the other expressions involving “Dutch”: The word “jaded”, does it have any connection to “jade”, the gemstone?
Excuse me miss;
I have a question: as a Brit I’ve often wondered why some of my American friends call me a ‘limey’. As far as I know we don’t grow any limes over here!
HotForWords, any ideas on how we ended up as ‘limeys’? Thanks!
Yeah and why do you limey’s call us Yanks?
That’s a good one for a guess the word game, Marina.
From the UK’s viewpoint I thought that it was only the Northern American that were Yanks
I think it originally had to do with one’s loins…
what about the lions?
Who’ll carry the mail?
Who’ll ball the cat?
oysterfrond
Back when Brittania ruled the waves, sailors in the Royal Navy discovered that eating limes during long voyages was a way to ward off the disease “scurvy”. Scurvy (stretchy skin, bleeding gums) results from severe Vitamin C deficiency. The English, who will try anything if they can mix it with alcohol (just kidding, oysterfrond:-), invented the Gin Gimlet.
So, if an American saw a sailor with lime juice dribbled down the front of his suit, or heard someone order anything with “a twist of lime”, he thought, “Aha, one of the Crown’s Subjects, a Citizen of the United Kingdom of England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland.”
“The lime is the givaway”.
Богдан, you beat me to the punch. (BTW, how does one pronounce Богдан?)
Next question: are the French called ‘frogs’ because they eat frogs’ legs?
Aah, our old friend scurvey huh? That makes a lot of sense actually – scurvey used to be a huge problem for a seafaring nation like us Brits used to be. I guess I should be grateful that we ended up with ‘limey’ rather than ‘scurvey’ as a monicker!
Hey there’s one for teacher – (unless she’s done it already, I haven’t checked) – where does monicker come from?
Thankyou Богдан for your limey explanation.

You may be able to help solve a minor mystery.
In Austin Powers II, Nigel and Austin converse
in slang which was subtitled for our understanding.
“shat on a turtle” is obviously a past tense expression,
but what does it mean?
My guess is
S hit ona S hingle?
the stuff mom used to serve..
some sort of chipped meat gravy over toast.
or.. S.O.S = same old shit
Loved it, thanks mom.
chipped beef is what we yanks call SOS.
Thanks!
Mmm… curious one. I’ve never heard “shat on a turtle” before – and I haven’t seen the Austin Powers movie, so I can’t figure it from the context. Anyone else shed some light?
It does remind me of two other expressions we use here in the UK. Apologies, but they’re a bit on the vulgar side. Firstly “shit off a shovel” meaning very fast. As in “the horse that won the race went like shit off a shovel”. Secondly “the turtle’s head” (or sometimes “tortoise’s head) meaning desperate to defecate. As in “I need to get to a lavatory right now, I’ve got the turtle’s head”.
Not sure I like that turtle reference. .
not at all
Dave,
Don’t pull your head in yet, it was just a passing cloud, I think.
S. Hingle. Is s/he related to Pat?
Hey your ‘turtle head’ is like our ‘Prairie dogging’
I figured this subject would raise its ugly head again before long.
Butt if we all sqeezed off the ones we like the list of euphemisms would be a pantload longer than the Norwegian coastline, so watch out not to start sh*tstream-of-consciousness landslide there, geronimo. A lot of people toil at making up new ones every day!
hello miss HotForWords, I have a phrase that i like you to investigate. I have always wonder about the phrase “Carry coals to Newcastle” witch means that you do something pointless i think
why Newcastel? And why coal?
HotForWords please investigate
//hook112
Looks like no reply from Miss M.
So here goes :-
Newcastle in England exported coal to the rest of the world, so It was not a good idea to try and sell/send coal back to Newcastle ( they were probably drowning in the stuff )
gotta get these pineapples to Hawaii – Robin Williams
Gird also means :-
1. A sharp stroke or blow.
2. A sudden movement or jerk, a spurt of action.
3. A spasm of pain.
All of the above might result if origin #1 had been true.
4. A sharp or biting remark, a gibe, a dig.
or as a verb :-
1. To strike, smite or to touch sharply.
2. To impel or move hastily or rudely.
3. To move suddenly, to rush, start or spring.
4. To jest, gibe, sneer or scoff.
All of which happen in here from time to time. In fact there are so many girders here we could build a bridge.

How do you get the hyperlink into the words like that, Bob?
Like this, Proz.
words you want to appear
Rats! How do I show it without it working?
First type “” (without quotes) then the words you want to appear without quotes and finish with “” without quotes. Note there is only one space between the initial “a” and “href” and only one set of quotation marks round the url you want to point to.
Fingers crossed.
Sod it
Ask aLx, he showed me in a post a long time ago.
<a href="http://hotforwords.com">
text you want to appear
</a>
it’s supposed to be written without breaks, but the automatic word wrapping won’t work with this. don’t ask me why. just write it without breaks.
Thanks aLx.
On the ball as ever.
Also, be careful not to prefix any characters else it comes out goofy.

my guess would have to begirth? that word is mentioned in the australian anthem :O
by the way looking SEXY as always marina! excellent video
p.s. I was gutted to get the loins answer wrong…TWICE lol (there’s always other games
)
I too think its girdle
Congratulations MeanMarine!
Marina what a good lesson today. Love the blue top. It now is tops of my list of great tops. I like the shape of the yellow top you wore awhile back but don’t care for yellow. I guess its because everyone give me yellow things. If I could only turn yellow into gold.
Yes, congratulations Jarhead/Bootneck, er … I mean Marine.
they were called leathernecks, right?
that’s an interesting story…
I guess there is no chance of a “wardobe malfunction” on these videos.
But how about a video on the term “wardobe malfunction”?
oops spelling mistake – “wardrobe malfunction”
Marina’s top seems to be one size larger than usual or do
I need glasses.
OMG, you mean you LOOKED at her, uh, upper torso? A guy can get nightmares pulling stunts like that (mostly about excess moisture)!
Next thing you know, they start asking what masturbation means and other unruly, sociopolitically liminal subjects. We’ll have to get you some prescription x-ray specs right away to address this most urgent situation!
wardrobe malfunction?
Marina? not likely.
Janet Jackson…?
Once again I answered the homework question before she even asked it.
I’m such a smartarse; taking the rest of the day off.
How did you do that Bob
You must be clairvoyant or something Bob. Your one clairvoyant bird Bob 
I’m a helicopter pilot so I’m cyclic (psychic?).
I just got back from flying my RC Heli.
It was my last meet up with them for a long time cuz I’m moving south for the winter. I’ll have to find a new indoor club to fly with.
Some photos of the hanger I fly at. The little red heli is mine and the little yellow one is mine. I hate yellow. Waiting for the blue canopy to come in. The red heli is no longer red, its blue also and now has navigation lights. I’m waiting to buy a computer RC simulator so I can bone up on flying my yellow Blade 400 inverted. I don’t want to blow a grand on stupid crash.
Oops forgot the link

Nice helos Capt. I bet it does take a lot of money to keep them going.
Sweeeet! The music sounds familiar, too!
Must have taken awhile to get so good at flying!
Fabulous stuff.
Damn I wanted to be the first post. Darn reader!
Ahoy there.
Beggin’ the captain’s pardon, but space could only be reserved for the most urgently devoted.
BTW, I hope you didn’t mind my chiming in the other day (actually, I held off as long as I could). It was tough watching that other pupil torpedo your hull repeatedly like that. Kind of unnecessary if you ask me.
Cheers!
GIRTH – It’s girth. There’s got to be a lot of English words that come from that same root.
I got the wrong answer, what a shame! Oh well. I do have a word request. Or really a phrase.
Where does “Mind your P’s and Q’s” come from?
Or, if not that one. I’ve also wondered where the phrase “arch enemy” came from.
Thanks so much for making interesting videos, HotForWord!
A girdle is a piece of women’s clothing designed to flatten the belly and slim the hips.
I didnt get an email notice
That happens with me too.
Give it time, you’ll get it sooner or later.
Yea mine always comes about thirty comments late too.
I knew it!
Do you stay up all night just waiting for the new posts to come out.LOL
Yes, he sits there sucking his pencil. (pencilsucky9)
Naw, it was a lottery win. They come out when she puts them out, I just got lucky (again).
Okay, that’ll be enough of that, Bob. No Rolling Rock for you if this keeps up. You’ll be drinking Schmidt’s of Philthy Delphia instead.
Philthy Delphia? That’s great! Sounds like something straight out of Get Fuzzy!
