    Hey guys and gals, I just have a real quick question: at the very end of the video, the electric guitar riff is from a rock song that I’ve heard before. I want to go buy it! Does anyone know what the full song is called?

    brbrainerd replied on May 24th, 2008 5:12 pm:

    Nvm, heh - I remembered. It definately sounds like Ronald Jenkees–I think the song “Messin with guitar sound” is what I was looking for. Not on his cd, but I found a video of him making it at http://remember.buzz.hu/archives/2008/04/29/Ronald _Jenkees_-_Messin_with_guitar_sound/. Definitely awesome.

    Hi Marina.
    ThanX for making me TP for the day. Was a lovely suprise when I arrived home to my Penthouse. You made my week, so very kind of you. I looked like the cat who got the cream and felt like I was floating on air. Just the tonic needed after a balls to the wall kinda week.

    HFW’s143always………. :smile:

    Also, if you get time to investigate the word Osirian please. Causing much debate as to its original origin and meaning….

    Be well

    Hey Marina.
    I was wondering what is the subject of your phD thesis?

    lividemerald replied on May 17th, 2008 9:33 pm:

    It was about The Sis, you know, the evil twin sister.

    Is there anu chance to return to women’s dictionary ? That was really helpfull. I mean REALLY. I was also wondering if You could teach me something about the difference beetwen forward and foreward.

    jesterzusmc replied on May 17th, 2008 10:52 pm:

    Forward is meant in positional relation, Forward movement of being in a forward position (in front).
    Foreword is generally a beginning statement, a word at the Fore, of a book, usually by the author or someone whose opinion the author (or editor) respects.

    I would like to know the meaning of the phrase “Charlie Don’t Surf”. I know Charlie referred to the Viet Cong in the Vietnam War and stands for “C” in the NATO phonetic alphabet, but I have no idea what the aforementioned phrase means.

    Comes from the film “Apocalypse Now”.

    HELP ME!
    ok proper question, im desperate for an answer

    i cant remember a word/s for this thing.

    its when you notice a certain thing more when it has happened to you.

    for example you buy a red ford and you suddenly notice a lot more red fords around.
    can remember the proper psychological term

    hey Marina, your videos are great
    I was wondering if you could look up the word origin of gesundheit or the reason people say God bless you
    I look foreward to seeing the next video :mrgreen:

    jesterzusmc replied on May 17th, 2008 10:47 pm:

    Old superstition that the force of a sneeze was caused by “old Nick” and indicated a battle of a demon trying to possess your body and force your soul out. Saying “God Bless You” was to help you win that battle.

    God….I feel like a know it all..I have a similar obsession with knowledge as Marina has with Words.

    i would like 2 know were the word “crystal” comes from?i am a 13 year old girl that like your show thanks. :cool:

    lividemerald replied on May 17th, 2008 9:37 pm:

    Mr. Jones told me it comes from a kingdom of skulls.

  30. kranium on May 15th, 2008 6:08 pm

    The answer is number 2

    “Penthouse” comes from the word pentis, which comes from apentis, which comes from apendere, which means to hang against or attach. A pentis was a shed with a sloping roof attached to a wall or building. At some point, people began referring to the structure’s roof as a “pentis,” and the actual shed became a “penthouse.”

    lividemerald replied on May 17th, 2008 9:37 pm:

    I had to look twice to be sure you put the “t” in pentis. Whew!

    lividemerald replied on May 17th, 2008 9:40 pm:

    There is a way for Marina to do a topless video and still retain a certain amount of modesty. Sports Illustrated has done this recently with its “swimsuit” calendar. Marina could simply apply body paint so that she appears to have a top on. I think it would be a mistake for Marina to go any further than that.

  36. tyler2 on May 15th, 2008 4:05 pm

    I would like to know more about the word Booyah that gets thrown around allot. I think that this is a spanish word Bulla which is pronounced “Booyah” but Bulla means noise or to make a great noise. So if the phrase “Make a big noise because I made big money” makes sense then Bulla!! is equal as per the dictionary. But HotForWords should investigate and put this word question to rest. However there is a word Booyah and that is used on ESPN after a good play, but I think they have the word confused with Bulla. Booyah is a culinary term for something that is like a stew but it is pronounced just like Bulla which means to make a racket or create a ruckus. As you can see Bulla is the more appropriate word but we spell it Booyah which is an entirely different word that means to make a stew on a very large scale. Booyah is not exactly the in-your-face word as it is used. Please investigate.

  37. fadeintoyou77 on May 15th, 2008 3:17 pm

    First off Marina, i love this woman :smile: .
    I’m constantly amazed at what you’re able to do.
    In this thread you’re talking about web design and i admit i don’t have a clue what you’re talking about.

    In your DVD thread you’re talking about DVD formats- again i’m lost.
    Do you have a degree in computing as well or something? :)
    Or is it just another one of your interests.

    It really is bizarre that a stunningly beautiful woman knows this stuff-
    BTW that is not meant to be patronising/sexist because let’s face it stunning glamourous women on the whole don’t bother with this stuff (unless they have a degree in computing of course)-
    With Marina though it’s a different story.

    I really wonder what other talents she is hiding (and no that’s not a pun).

    Anyway Marina 2 words for you:
    Spurious
    Facetious

    Did i mention that i love this woman. :smile:

    Marina replied on May 15th, 2008 4:02 pm:

    Thanks fadeintoyou77, I am a fast learner.. I have people show me the stuff and I learn from what they are saying. Trust me, I don’t know all this stuff by heart.. I usually have to call someone who knows more.. but then I repeat what I hear from them here to get feedback.

    For the DVDs… I can make them on my computer.. but then someone tells me I have to account for Europeans vs Americans (ntsc vs pal) and then I go into a frenzy to try to solve the problem. I’m sure I’ll forget most of this stuff in a couple weeks anyway!

    Hows the book plans going?

    fadeintoyou77 replied on May 15th, 2008 6:37 pm:

    Fair enough Marina.
    I know what you mean though about encountering problems with technology.
    Different formats etc for no good reason-
    annoying but you get to learn stuff along the way i guess.

  39. harveycasual on May 15th, 2008 2:44 pm

    Hello Marina,

    I checked things out about this penthouse word with someone at the courthouse who was suing a guy over his shittily built outhouse.

    He started to say,”the penthouse is like a lighthouse… you feel like you’re on top of your world and the skies the limit.”

    Before I could get his answer… he was off to the jailhouse.

    I guess I’ll try #1

    Cheers!

    In preparation for a spike in traffic… I enable Lock Down mode and it locks the pages (makes them static) and also makes it so that comments don’t refresh until after I turn it off.

    I am going to be on TV again in a couple weeks and I want to be prepared. Last time my website crashed when I was on the O’Reilly show.. I don’t want that to happen again.

    Whin I’m logged in I don’t see the reply comments andstuff anymore.
    tried to refresh it. no luck. I’ll see if going back to l”ogged out” works.
    I’ve never had this issue before so just a note to let you know.
    Thanks for the guitar again.

  50. dvdpage on May 15th, 2008 9:14 am

    I think it’s number two.
    thanks again for the good work! +5
    I’m going to the beach tomorrow. It’s
    getting very hot here in Ca. Overall
    we have it great so not whining.

  51. wouter on May 15th, 2008 8:51 am

    Hi Marina!
    I just discovered your ‘hot for words’ show on youtube and like it much!
    I think the answer for penthouse should be #1.

    :grin: Wouter from the Netherlands

  52. appears_foolish on May 15th, 2008 8:33 am

    :???: I think it’s #1.

    Also, may I request the word “fashion,” because you’re very fashionable? :grin:

  53. capman911 on May 15th, 2008 8:29 am

    I have a stupid question. I know what the other faces mean now but what does :mrgreen: mean? Is it envy?

    Mike

    Marina replied on May 15th, 2008 8:36 am:

    Green with envy I guess… though it doesn’t look like envy, right? :mrgreen:

    capman911 replied on May 15th, 2008 8:38 am:

    Thanks, your so sweet.

    prospero811 replied on May 15th, 2008 1:09 pm:

    According to the “dictionary of emoticons” Mr. Green means…..Mr. Green….

    http://www.traviscarden.com/resources/etc/dictiona ry-of-emoticons/

    To me, it seems to signify that the writer has said something dirty and wants to convey a note of devilish humor.

    prospero811 replied on May 15th, 2008 1:11 pm:

    Wow — it’s in the urban dictionary…

    aLx replied on May 15th, 2008 1:24 pm:

    yeah, mr. green looks pretty happy.

    prospero811 replied on May 15th, 2008 1:40 pm:

    Wait - I have delved deeper into the historical etymology of the emoticon Mr. Green. I’m pretty sure it’s based on a real person; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7SI5Ir8-YA

    sniperskaya replied on May 15th, 2008 3:03 pm:

    Marina, your comment begs the question - where do we get the saying “Green with envy” from? Why are certain colors associated with emotions or feelings? I.E.: Green with envy, red with anger/ alternately love, blue with sadness, black with death (although in Asia white is associated with death), etc.?

    sniperskaya replied on May 15th, 2008 3:04 pm:

    Marina, also when a comment is loading it says “New comment is loading, wait a comment…” Shouldn’t it be “…wait a moment…” or simply “please wait”?

  54. henrychau123 on May 15th, 2008 8:03 am

    i think 1 is the answer

  55. captainjack on May 15th, 2008 6:50 am

    Hey Marina, Pages are loading much faster now.

    After one comments on page say like 3. Is there a way when it refreshes it stays on that page instead of returning to page 1?

    prospero811 replied on May 15th, 2008 7:42 am:

    And - when one clicks on a “recent comment,” unless it is on the most recent page, it won’t link straight to that comment (which might be somewhere on pages 1 through 4, or whatever).

    Marina replied on May 15th, 2008 7:46 am:

    Propero, I alerted the developer of this plugin to that problem. He is Chinese.. so if any of you know Chinese out there it would be a great help:

    prospero811 replied on May 15th, 2008 9:00 am:

    What dialect of Chinese? :wink:

    BillyB replied on May 15th, 2008 9:04 am:

    Manderine is my fav. That click worked, gtg.

    Bob replied on May 15th, 2008 9:05 am:

    The writing is the same, it’s only the spoken words that differ from one dialect to another - so I believe.

    Marina replied on May 15th, 2008 9:29 am:

    OK.. I think I solved it. I told the developer (if he understands me).. to make an option to VIEW ALL comments.. then I can make the Recent Comments thing work as I can add the variable ?wp=all or something before the link and it will take you right to the comment.

    PLUS we want to “view all” option anyway, right?

    prospero811 replied on May 15th, 2008 9:35 am:

    Sounds good, Marina.

    With the rise of traffic in your message boards - maybe you want to start using a “discussion forum” structure, like this: http://www.richarddawkins.net/forum/

    Marina replied on May 15th, 2008 7:45 am:

    OK.. captainjack.. I just put back in the ajx thing where when you make a comment it DOESN’T refresh the page.. but inserts your comment where you are. You will have to hit refresh if you want to see other comments that have happened since you have been on the page though. Let me know if you like this better or not.

    Bob replied on May 15th, 2008 8:48 am:

    I don’t know if this site is any help, Marina.
    I can’t pretend I understand it but it seems to mention the problem you are having.

    BillyB replied on May 15th, 2008 8:54 am:

    I clicked Bob’s comment & it Hit. I clicked Pros811, no Hit either one.
    Clicked Marina comment it woked too, No prospero

    Bob replied on May 15th, 2008 10:02 am:

    I guess I’m too late for this to be of any help, but here is the translated version of the link you posted in your reply to Prospero above.

  56. captainjack on May 15th, 2008 6:41 am

    I just remembered something. When I was a little boy, I spent a summer at this old ladies house with some of my family. Most places had indoor plumbing but she didn’t. She had an outhouse that was a two seater. No wall to divide it up into 2 stalls. Yea figure that one out. :mrgreen: I remember her calling it a penthouse. I thought clearly that was the wrong name to call it. :roll:

    geronimo replied on May 15th, 2008 8:08 am:

    Capt. Your off the wall comment, reminded me that my middle name is slang for ‘outhouse’ in Mexico, or at least it use to be. I don’t know how common it is anymore. Do you know what it is?

    lividemerald replied on May 17th, 2008 9:49 pm:

    Two holers weren’t that unusual a century ago. But you have to wonder under what circumstances they had double occupancy.

    jesterzusmc replied on May 17th, 2008 10:30 pm:

    Usually only one was “open”, and the other was for when the first was “full”, after the second was full, the first could be dug out for fertilizer.

    Wow, jesterzusmc, I gotta hand it to you. You definitely know your shit. :lol:

  57. sniperskaya on May 15th, 2008 6:10 am

    I really don’t care which answer is correct. It’s cool just to watch Marina talking. She could read a 1968 Москва phone book and have us enthralled.

  59. darnko on May 15th, 2008 5:36 am

    Marina,
    Hello, I was wondering about the phrase “lime light” and where it came from. As in, living in the lime light, which is being famous and spot light on you. Thanks

  60. capman911 on May 15th, 2008 5:28 am

    Marina I’m having a little problem when I put my curser over the little smiley faces. They want tell me what they mean like razz or cool etc. Thanks for any help.

    Marina replied on May 15th, 2008 8:14 am:

    capman911, and when you post them, the show up as the smiley faces. Try it :razz:

    capman911 replied on May 15th, 2008 8:19 am:

    Thanks

    geronimo replied on May 15th, 2008 8:20 am:

    I think he meant that the computer won’t tell him what they are. It’s true on mine also. You have to click on it to see that it says razz or what ever. Not really a big deal since you can see the expressions. :roll:

    Marina replied on May 15th, 2008 8:23 am:

    Oh.. I need to make the ALT text thing show up.. let me see if I can do that.

    capman911 replied on May 15th, 2008 8:26 am:

    Mine works now. I think after you did the ajax thing for captain Jack it fixed the problem I was having. :grin:

    mine doesn’t. thank god.

    Does Zenith still make television sets? Back in the old days, their TV sets were the standard by which others were measured.
