Marina. I would like to know the orgin of the word Asunder.
i would like to know where the word whelmed comes from, as in overwhelmed. i just want to know what a whelm is.
thank you
The word Snafu was correct another was FUBAR fouled (Fucked) up beyond all reason. But there is one acronym that was only found in the Submarine Service and it was BOHICA when an officer asked what Bohica meant? he would be told that it meant Basic Orientation Here In Canning Apples!, but the enlisted ranks new it meant “Bend Over Here It Comes Again”, and it was in reference to a very bad decision made by the Captain.

I want to know the word Hacker as in Computer Hacker
Why? are you one?
No I just want a video about what they are my friend is one
Hey HotforWords, I’ve always live in this city of sin for 11 years now but never really Thought much about the name of it. So I was wondering can you do a video on the city named:
Las Vegas, NV
A fertile field of enquiry.
Las Vegas is Spanish for “the meadows,” as in the Meadows Mall on Meadows Ave. just to the east of Decatur. I’ve been here since October 6, 1995. Nevada, of course, is Spanish for “snowcapped.” Of course, we go to great pains to insist that the official pronunciation of the state’s name incorporates a short vowel a, as in “ad” as opposed to “odd.” Seeing as how you posted on the Penthouse video, perhaps you were also thinking about the Palms’ fairly new Playboy tower a bunny hop south of Flamingo? I do like the architecture.
Marina,
Considering it is my user name, could you tell me what the origin of the word ‘millionaire’ is? Also, you have gotten me intrested in language. If only I had a teacher like you in school… maybe I would have learned a bit more. Thank you.
Joey
hello ,are you able to tell me where the word mechanical comes from?Are we able to request as many words we want?
Hi Marina,
Can you tell us where the term “whippersnapper” comes from?
Thanks,

Hi Marina
I am curious after the meaning of the words “sanguilent” and “elysium”.
In a short 2-year Latin course i have followed sanguilent had to do something with the word for blood in Latin. Therefore I think it means “bleeding” but I am not sure.
I also think the word “elysium” means heaven but I am not sure of that either.
I would really like it if you could sort this out for me (us).
Thanks in advance

I’m guessing the other english word derived from appendicium is appendix.
I heard a story about the origion of the word “shotgun” to mean the place next to the driver. The story is that in the days of stage coach carriages in the American West (think of the stage coach in the Wells Fargo Bank commercials), there were always two people sitting on the top of the coach. One held the reins and was the driver. The other held the shotgun and was the security guard. As such, sitting in the position next to the driver became known as “riding shotgun”.

Breathe, skyrider777. Breathe! Okay, he’s starting to snap out of it.
Yep, we see lots of breathless breast-goggle/tunnel vision syndrome here. In fact, it is beginning to recur with alarming frequency…
Some guys get too close & their tongues get stuck in the cleavage vortex. (A moment of silence) usually they never make it back, poor souls. It’s sad.
Thank you, I’m starting to breathe better now. Only problem now is I’m starting to stutttteeeerrr, think my tongue may be swollen, is that normal for the cleaveage thing? I mean like wow.
:) 
:) 
Only if you leave your tongue hanging out and then step on it.
Knew there had to be a reason, have to put my tongue in my pocket in my pocket next time.
:)

i would love if u could do the orgin ofthe word ’shotgun’…! thank you
Hello! Thanks for clearing my word ’schmuck’ curiosity. In my language ‘romanian’ we have a very similar word ’smecher’ that means something like ’smart ass’(english translation). Can you make a comment about the origins of the word ‘pokey’ — it refers to old fellows but I’ve done no connection so far….
Thanks and see ya’ in some blockbuster movies if tou have the chance!
could you please do the word hockey?
thanks
Hi Marina.
Could you possibly tell me the origin of the word: decadence- I’ve always wondered how it came to be, so who better to investigate!? Hope you are well anyway.
myriadtrill x
Hi Marina-
I have a word request that you might find interesting to investigate: bulldozer - it has nothing to do with a bull, and doesn’t doze. A person who bulldozes may be a bully, but he isn’t driving a bulldozer. Bulls may sometimes doze, but they don’t bulldoze.
What is going on here, Marina?
If you could tell about the word ” Gamer ” ? =3
( Im a gamer ^^, To bad its not something i could live on, or otherwise i would rich , haha ^^ )
Hi Marina,
I always wanted to know why some words have a silent “p”. Like
pneumonia, pseudonym, psychiatrist, psalm and even raspberry! I’m sure you can find out and inform all of us.
Keep up the good work!
This is a great question. I vote for this one.

Hi Marina, I would like to know what the phrase “jump the shark” means. Every so often I hear someone say that something has “jumped the shark” and I’m like thinking what??? By the way I first discovered your show on youtube a couple of weeks ago; and I must say it’s awesome and so are you. Thanks
Where does the word “orange” come from? In particular, why is the word for the fruit the same as the word for the color in many languages?
Could you please do the word ninja.
I always wondered what the meaning would be
i was wondering about the word “lot” how can it have so many meanings
Maybe it won the lottery.
I would like to suggest the word BACKUP for the next video.
If Madrid keeps going on about Marina going topless, he’s going to get my back up, but he won’t get my backup.
Mellon Collie
Could you do the word, anarchy? (Chaos is not an appropriate synonym.)
Oh my god… even for an atheist like me. You are just amazing. The word u asked for homework must be appendix… wich in spanish, my mother language, is apéndice.
Append, appendix, appendicitis. Appendectomy?
Surely there are more…
Let’s see, there’s dependent, impending, compendium, expended, pendulum, suspenders, and recompense just to name a few. And stop calling me Shirley!
Bravo!
I was in an appendix rut. Just couldn’t break out of it!
U Rock~
Marina, I would like to learn the origins of the word “Approximate”. I am in Law Enforcement and use the word alot in my reports and have always wondered where it came from. Thank you.
JRod
As anyone in Law Enforcement should know, a “cellmate” is the guy behind the same bars as you, and “approximate” is the guy who doubles for him while your actual mate is busy digging the escape tunnel.
Sorry, madrid, but I must disagree.
It seems to me that there are plenty of mammaries exposed in various media so why should Marina, who already has a huge following just by virtue of her charismatic delivery and intelligence, choose to honor this request?
Plus, it wouldn’t help her cause (intelligence is sexy). Think about it. Her market niche wouldn’t be widened; it would probably be narrowed quite a bit instead. Her appearing topless would only serve to shut her videos out of many places and cheapen the whole experience, in my humble opinion.
As I mentioned previously, Marina could actually do a topless video and still retain a degree of modesty by simply doing what Sports Illustrated recently did with its “swimsuit” models, i.e., apply body paint so that she appears to be wearing a top. Of course, she probably would not want to lean in too close to the camera….
You’re “humble”, so called, opinion… affirmed.
That was hard to abreviate, were my comas in the right place?
I don’t think there is a “right place” for a coma. Be that as it may, I can sleep anywhere…
Intelligence is sexy, but sexiness is not always intelligent.
I’ll probably get beat up for this, but … ain’t nobody fucking intelligence.
aLx, was that a statement or a question?
the former. how can that be a question?
Because of the word order.
Doesn’t make sense either way!
alright. for you: nobody fucks intelligence.
“ain’t nobody drawin’ wine from this blood.”
See, if you didn’t put the word “fucking” in front of every other word, as an adjective or as a stopgap to let your brain catch up with your mouth, I might have understood that you were trying to use it as a verb.
You might also get a bit more of the human touch if you didn’t come across as an angry young man every time you open your mouth.
angry young men.
Come as you are
Is that dog speaking with His Master’s Voice?
Well, you can’t fuck intelligence, but it is possible to get some brain , and even have an intellectual orgasm from mental masturbation
oops.. the brain link was supposed to be this one…. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=bra in%28s%29
The brain link synapse to it, finally!
whatever.
LOL
Err…. try again… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSbdtPVDZhE
I got a word for you. How about the word “VOODOO”? It’s a odd weird name so how did it get its name and whats the origin
Make a topless!!!!! Come on!!!!! Support me people say YES!!!! Everybody want to see Marina in topless If you want to see her in topless make more comments asking her to make topless!!!!
Don’t you think she is sexy already
Also, some things - well - the imagination is pretty good.
Nick
Absolutely not. Marina is way too classy and too smart to pander to some girls-gone-wild, pre-pubescent sexual fantasy. Women who work the sex trade generally relegate themselves to that industry and no others and have relatively short, uneventful careers. Marina could work as a speech pathologist and make an easy $200 grand or more a year for the rest of her life with her background in linguistics.
As I mentioned previously (and maybe even prior to that!), Marina could actually do a topless video and still retain a degree of modesty by simply doing what Sports Illustrated recently did with its “swimsuit” models, i.e., apply body paint so that she appears to be wearing a top. Of course, she probably would not want to lean in too close to the camera….
Topless? why would you want her to do a video showing only her legs and thighs? Then again, she does have nice legs. But I like the head.
Besides, fantasies are always better than reality. Leaving her like this leaves her perfect for me.
You still on this soapbox.
Ask something else, go on then, think of someting else… ease into it… you can do it. be strong. Think about how Marina thinks of your request, she puts herself out there already for her students & admirers… relax & enjoy, be grateful already. You sound like Britney… “gimme more”… Sorry madrid I can’t support your campaign. Change your poitics & I might support you.
Topless? No, I can’t support you madrid.
Marina’s videos are informative AND entertaining, which is not easy to do. Let alone make it work on the internet.
It’s very interesting what Marina has created and is doing on the web.
There is no manual to explain what to do or how to do it - Web2 as it is often referred to, is an unknown media.
Looks like you’re on your own here, Madrid.
If you want to look at unfettered breasts, there are more than enough places on the web to do so; why don’t you go there and stop your sexual harassment of Marina?
She doesn’t need to attract that sort of attention to herself.
Get Real Madrid.
I also agree with the majority here that Marina should not
do a topless video and I’m sure she does not like the
continued pressure to do one. There are more then
enough X rated sites on the web to satisfyyour lust for
videos of topless women.
Hey, I know that Gaelic is a Scottish language but I was just wondering what the word Gaelic actually meant. Thanks
Appendix……? By the way, do you know how “jumbo” as in “jumbo-jet” came to mean “over-large”?
Right, and what about “jumbo shrimp?” How can one simultaneously be a “shrimp” as well as being classified as “JUMBO?” What’s up with that?
Didn’t Dumbo have jumbo ears?
From L. appendere “to hang.”
SEE!!!…Im tellin’ ya! I really do think it would work!
I love the little quips and blooper outtakes at the end of your videos.
What sort of bird was it??
Hi Marina! I was playing Medieval II Total War and my character had the trait “gregarious”. It got me thinking wheter my name “Greg” has anything to do with it. Is it named after me?
All I know is that it is formed from the same root as “egregious”, the Latin referring a group or flock. Gregory is derived from a Greek name.
Hi!
what is the origin of the word “Hack”?
[V]onDOCH here once again! Well I was intrigue to know such word as “Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapik imaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu” existed in this world. It flatters me to know the origin of such complicated word. Hope HotForWords can help me solve this mystery for me.
It flattens me.
You mean “Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapik imaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu”, It is Maori name for a hill close to Porangahau, south of Waipukurau in southern Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand that is 305 meters high.
please tell me why we use “dog eat dog”
I have a request! The word is AMBIDEXTROUS
Thank you
The history and meaning or the word Jehovah.
Appendix is the word.
Actually, “Grease” is the word….
I’m guessing “Append” which means to attach…? Yes?
I wish to know the origin of the Spanish word: “Gringo”. I understand that it means “white guy”…. is this the real meaning of “Gringo”?
“Gringo” is not Spanish per se, but Mexican. During the punitive expeditions into Mexico by General “Black Jack” Pershing to catch Pancho Villa in the early 1900’s, the soldiers of the 3rd Cavalry would sing their regimental marching song “Green Grow The Rushes, Ho!” The Mexicans heard the words “Green Grow” and mistakenly applied them as “Gringo” to all the soldiers and over time to todos los Americanos Nortenos..
I thought the line was something like, “Green grow the lilacs all covered with dew.” Or maybe they’re different lines from the same song…
pennsyltucky9, There are several versions of the song, from sentimental ballads to Irish jigs. It’s from a poem by Scottish poet Robert Burns. In its’ original form it was “rashes” not “rushes” and may have existed long before Burns put it to pen. Knowing how Cavalry troopers were I’m betting it was more of a drinking song than pretty ballad and they had some lyrics that weren’t “politically correct” as well as more than their fair share of “rashes” from the lassies, Ho!
The lyrics to the Cav’s version of the song have been “lost to history” (thankfully)!
(you can find numerous versions of it on youtube)
Correction: YOU (or someone else who shares an interest) can find numerous versions of it on youtube. I’m way too deep in homework to sift through all the billions of submissions there. I barely have time to check in on my friends HERE, fer chrissake.
Thanks for responding, though. See you after finals.
I want to know the meaning of ”Mermaid” As I know already, The mermaid is one of the most popular figures in world folklore. Her characteristic appearance is as a nubile young girl, with long hair and a fish tail, carrying a comb and a mirror. Unlike the other part-human, part-animal creatures of myth and folklore, mermaids have been the object of many sightings up to the present day; it is as if there is a desire to prove the reality of mermaids, which makes them closer to creatures such as the Loch Ness monster and the Yeti than to centaurs and sirens. But that still doesn’t help me with the word, And how people came up with it. Please Help Me.
For starters, “mer” is sea in French.
As lividemerald mentiuoned mer is french for sea. I can also help you with the second part. Maid is an english word meaning maid or maiden. So if you put those together you ger mermaid, aka “maiden of the sea”.
Marina, my great teacher I have proven myself, nowan I be TA or at least a Teachers Pet with such great knowladge?
Sorry, thats “get” and “now can I be”. I hate my keyboard!
I would like to know the origin of the word: nickname. Thanks!
The word couldn’t possibly be “pendulous”, could it?
Way to hang in there, sniperskaya!
Appendage.
Word request
Teddy bera…way Teddy??
Miscellaneous, yeah.
Appendix, I don’t have one (gone 1965). My father ruptured his while he continued to play basketball. Yucky, near death experience. Appendage, and Appendectomy. P.S. If your doctor punctures your colon while removing polyps, make sure he tells you. A doctor by the name R. T. doesn’t seem to think that it is important, as well as what happens next. Something like tubal ligation for women gone wrong.

Hey Bogdan. it’s mayday (Victoria Day) weekend here, Long weekend “woot”
Have to work tomorrow myself & my wife works tonight, talk about bad timing eh. How’s B___? Must be tomorrow there now.
I typed in appendage & this is what I got http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=uKcH9dXkzR4 Looking at your avatar, are you a member?
No, BillyB, but thanks for the vid. It reminds me of how conformist we are as a society today. The advent of photography 150 years ago shows us the extent to which personal freedom was appreciated and exercized. Just look at photos of soldiers from the American Civil War, and photos of 19th century U.S. Presidents. Long hair, short hair, muttonchops, goatees…
What happened?
The US as become a paranoid policing state. I don’t know how this came about but I do see it growing. Here is one small example of policing that has a few gremlins in its system.
See: Are You a Security Threat? http://gcaptain.com/maritime/blog/are-you-a-securi ty-threat/
Im required by law to purchase a TWICs card to be used as ID. In order for me to keep my Captain’s license I have to pay TSA $135.00 US to get this card. Most mariners carry a MMD card (Merchant Marine ID) that uses the same background check at a TWICs card. MMD card cost about the same. There is talk about combining the two cards because they are similar. But no word when this will come about.
Mark my words. There will become a day when all US citizens will be required to purchase a US Passport as federal ID.
Take a look at this article: Papers Please - welcome to the US. Hey, we never left!
http://captrichardrodriguez.blogspot.com/2008/04/c itizenship-checks-on-wash-ferries-stir.html
Богдан, so what did happen?
over here we are required to “buy” an id. that’s not a driver’s license or a passport. just an id. cost about $10 I think. not sure. we need to get a passport to go to … say … the us. it’s that new passport with your fingerprints saved on a small chip inside. about $84. driver’s license … hm … you’re required to take those instruction lessons … $3000 at least before you get a dl.
Co-incidentally, the quote of the day on my Palmtop yesterday was:-

word request, what does the phrase “whole hog” mean?
I was wondering if you know my user name on UT from the comments i make here?…there all good by the way in both places
I may have even “let the cat out of the bag” on this video!
Hiya. I would like to know where the word “OUCH” came from. I won’t believe that it is an onomatopoeia. When I hurt myself I say “ow” or “son of a bitch” but never ouch!
I know right where it came from pairadots!
After climbing ladders and sweating on a hot roof all day today I went to get out of My car and *both* legs cramped up so friggin bad I said “OUCH” and a hell of a lot more words as I laid back in the seat and tried to get My legs straight!
I woke up with a leg cramp this morning. That’s what made me think to request it!
Hot damn pairadots! We have a paradox going now! Maybe We are psychic sidekicks.
How about these words? Implants, natural, immigrant, and orgy
I can come up with three:

Marina, this seems like a perfect time to ask for the origin of the word “glitch”.
Компьютеры, как женщины, необходимое зло…
i think it was a built in failsafe
uh. what’s happening? comments there, replies gone?
no point me trying to reply then Alx ?
right. don’t even try.
“Error is to human, but to really foul up things requires a computer.”
Sorry, I know this phrase is older than the 80’s but it had to be said.
Isn’t that: To err is human???
Self-explanatory then. And your point is…?
I coulda swore I just made a commet here the about the whole “glitch” thing and now its not here. In reply to long question posted by HFW and now I can’t find that either. I’m I just lost or what?
yeah, comments disappeared in the grammar thing as well.
Uh… what happened? I just went blind in one eye.
aLx stuck his finger in it, Buzz.
Thank god!…I thought I had blackout or something like that
Я желаю вам большой викэнд!
Same here. Made a reply on the summer vacation/College finals ? by Marina and it vanished!
Ah! That explains it. Never mind.
oops to bad buzzword
Glad to see you are going back on BOR. The first time you went on was my introduction to HotForWords. It is a really great site.
Hi Marina
I’ve been wondering about the word “clusterfuck”. Does it have the obvious origin, that being a simple compound of the two words, or is there something more convoluted?
Thanks!
In the military we said “ClusterFuck Hut, a one two three…”
Since Marina has declared that she will no longer deal with profanity, here
is a link for you to answer your question.
… yes summer is comin’ quick and yes, I do belive its finals time for all those collage folk…sorry I could’nt have been a bigger help
no holiday, no glitch, no problem.
my kids (elementary & HS) get out at the end of May…
depends on the school, ‘course, but I do think some colleges are wrappin’ it up…
can’t wait until I have the kids for my two weeks…
Last night I could’nt watch in HQ and UT was extra extra slow. I checked other sites and they where poppin’ up like lighting. Also, I can only reply to comments on the page with the video on it. Won,t let me relpy to any comments in the “veiw all” section
Its Memorial day on monday the 26th? It has to be a “glichy” thing. Your fans(students) dig you and I for one don’t see them their backs so quickly
It’s probably something else, no problemo watching the videos will probably pickback up soon
Depends what part of the country you’re in, not al areas have thesame schedule, but yeah, a lot of that kind of stuff happening now. Kids getting ready to graduate, proms, class trips, etc… (”remember prom night?” & “Why is credibility like virginity ?”)
TYPO! Should have been “all”, not “al” and a space between “the same”…
Yes it is International ‘Be kind to hamsters day’
I have been getting exercise on my tread mill, I am wheely tyred.
Oh shut up before I shave you balled.
Just kidding Tig.
ooops. (bald)
looking good as alyas has
oh, and since i shuda appended my comment ’bout summer break here, i’ll just say my homework answer is “appendage”…
pffff. I ain’t gonna write it twice.
Marina, it depends what part of the country you live in. Not all localities have the same schedule. But you’re right. This is generally the finals-prom-graduation-class trip time of year.
Quite peculiar! I replied to Marina’s question, it posted, I refreshed the page, my reply disappeared, I posted it again and now both replies are here!
“To err is human, to really screw things up takes a computer.”
I can tell you (again) that I could’nt watch in HQ last night and it still wont let me reply in the “veiw all” section. UT was moving extra extra slow for me last night. Also, I subscribe but I never get any kind of a notice about a new vid. I only see you have a new one when im watching the most recent one and i see a new one in the window to the right. Or your video count.
My notice in the email comes 1/2 day later than my youtube notice. If you are a youtube subscrib
