    It is baseball season. Where did the term “Texas League single” come from?

  3. paulfrmtxtoco on May 13th, 2008 2:56 pm

    sure girdle, but how about girder :wink:

  4. maal on May 12th, 2008 11:42 pm

    another well know word from gird would have to be girdle…

    i registered just to ask you about the word ‘Kalashnikov’ it is Russian and i would like to know more about ‘Kalashnikov’. :?: :?: :?: :oops:

    Ask sniperskaya, he deals in them… :arrow:

    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.

    wordlover replied on May 12th, 2008 3:39 pm:

    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… :roll:

    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…

  19. way2virgo on May 11th, 2008 9:12 pm

    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! :smile:

    :arrow: BY THE WAY………

    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… :idea: ….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 :smile:

    2hotforwordsfanclub replied on May 11th, 2008 7:05 pm:

    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. :wink: :grin:
    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). :grin:

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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”.

    Or like maddog1, maddog2, maddog3, everyone line up? Plurals, suffixes, prefixes, wordlover you have to separate from the pack, somehow, it seems.

    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

    melikadothechacha replied on May 11th, 2008 6:21 pm:

    I use it when it’s not appropriate
    to cuss, like at church and such.

    2hotforwordsfanclub replied on May 11th, 2008 7:22 pm:

    The 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. :grin: :roll: :evil:

    wordlover replied on May 11th, 2008 7:28 pm:

    No, it’s a contraction of “By our Lady” (i.e., Mother Mary). Leastways, that’s how I reckon it…

    melikadothechacha replied on May 11th, 2008 9:21 pm:

    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.

    word request: what is the origin of “bikini”?

    pennsyltucky9 replied on May 11th, 2008 9:48 am:

    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?

    meehowik replied on May 11th, 2008 11:45 am:

    howbout you dont tell us and we let her tell us :smile:
    Marina! tell us! :grin:
    and it would be cute if you wore one of ur bikinis while you told us :smile:

    pennsyltucky9 replied on May 11th, 2008 12:14 pm:

    Copy that, meehowik.

    Depends on who’s wearing it? Whose loin is it anyway?

    eric812 replied on May 11th, 2008 11:39 am:

    after the bikini atoll islands?

    melikadothechacha replied on May 11th, 2008 11:59 am:

    this sounds right, so how did the french turn it into a swimsuit?
    I’m holding out for the tube top lesson, myself :shock:

    pennsyltucky9 replied on May 11th, 2008 12:30 pm:

    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.

    melikadothechacha replied on May 11th, 2008 1:02 pm:

    Yeah. But how do we get Marina to do a lesson in a TUBE TOP???
    (trying to focus on the important stuff)

    pennsyltucky9 replied on May 11th, 2008 1:55 pm:

    so where did the snafu lesson go?

    Bob replied on May 11th, 2008 3:55 am:

    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”.

    aLx replied on May 11th, 2008 4:02 am:

    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.

    Bob replied on May 11th, 2008 4:16 am:

    snafu on this site

    thx.

    how the hell did you find it?

    Bob replied on May 11th, 2008 4:46 am:

    I’m a simple guy, so I simply typed “Snafu” into the search box at the top of the page. :smile:

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…
