I discuss the origin of the word “machinima” and I did this awesome collaboration with the guys over at Machinima.com and their YouTube channel! Be sure to subscribe to them, they are doing great stuff!
See if you can think of any other portmanteau words and write them below.
Now I’m going to go and jump in my pool and then drive around in my new sports car

Two words in one…ah…shilly-shally. Shirk my shockwaves.
The shindig was no cartoon. Porterhouse linguistics, talked back and demonstratively ate rye uncooked! soul not funny, another random lesson and thank you for all the fine work

Hey teach,

I Like the word BRILLIANT
Be good for you to Do that word ……and still waitng for the word GRANT/ GRANTED /
ye, the same
hifi (high fidelity)
smog (smoke fog)
If we believe ‘le’ is a fragment of a lost word meaning repeatedly,
then babble, dribble, maybe chronicle, etc.
As an attentive student to all your lessons, I believe that “spam” may be a portmanteau word.
nice video realy funny can you plz put the word hot or teacher
thanks 
Did anybody say anything about the sound of you’re voice in this one? Marina did you do little electronic mods on it or are you just an expert at cooing a little “…Much nicer than my world…”
“I feel like going for a drive” great stuff. Loved your little intro too, made me happy. Couple of words “infotainment” your channel is #1 & when you say “goodbye” its a combo of “God+be(with)+ye”. Goodbye
What is the meaning of “marriage”?
Marriage is not a word. It is a sentence–a life sentence.
pretty good. pretty pretty good
Love is one long sweet dream, and marriage is the alarm clock.
…on a saturday
at 3:14am.
I hear ya there Prospero! I have learned my lesson on marriage. Friends, family, Relatives, etc. all have shown me the meaning of marriage. Today I am still unmarried.
What is your fear, Captain Jack and Prospero, of getting married?? The commitment to 1 person, male or female (depending upon your Individual orientation) or the TRUST and open honesty implicit in the successful married relationships?
I have no fear of commitment. Im a very committed person. Even when I date I only date one woman at a time.
I learned how most people miss use marriage. Some people treat it as the end of a race and stop running.They feel the deed is done and no longer have to try. Second I don’t believe in common religions. I see them as myths.
I see people change for the worse the day they get married. Yes there are some that notice those changes and work to make them better. But those are people of long ago. Something I don’t see today.
I heard it said that marriage is a great institution, as for me I sure
don’t want to live in an institution.
I recently heard that “shit” comes from when they used to transport manure by boat. Store High In Transit. Is this true, thank you.
Its untrue. Its just a myth. Its a great story though.
Hey Marina, you’ve been working a bit blue lately, keep up the good work! Working blue? Is that anything like cursing a blue streak? Please help!

Hi, just wondering, if my name, phenylethylanamine, means what I think it means. Can you tell me what you think it is?
it should be “phenylethylamine”. and … what do you think it means?
I think it means: a chemical reaction in the brain that convinces us we are in love, or lust, and induces us, using said emotions, to trust, but then is metabolized and becomes redundant.
Teach, Where are You, ? Still out in your “New Car”. Your being a little aloof. Are you pouting? We still love you , Just hate the bad clone. We [ I ] come here to hear You explain “The Worgins of those Words” I think most of us have better things to do, But we check in to see your smiling happy face…….will ok , But . Dogs and Puppets …….not.
I was wondering if anybody can what the deal is with video that plays ever single time i log on…and who the heck is itchy amber anyway?
pagedoll where are you refering too. this website or the youtube site?

oh! ok. fair enough
thanks stokesjrj1
pagedoll… if you are logged in.. you should NEVER see the ad again. Do you have your computer deleting your cookies every time you shut down or quit your browser? You shouldn’t. I’ve seen that ad ONCE since they added it.
Your back i was beginning to worry about You.
honestly, i dont even no what a cookie is sorry
i’ll look into that. its no biggie and like i said i only see it when first log on. i can deal. no worries. thanks for the prompt response 
Hey Marina, could you put a donation button on your site so we can help pay for the site. I think many of us would love to help cover some of the cost associated with running your server. What ya say?
Hi Marina,
I LOVE your passionate and playful style
Also I have a word request, please could you talk about the word obnoxious. I think thats a funny sounding word. Thank you so much Marina.

Hi Marina :
I believe the object you are speaking of is a tulip. As in tulip mania.
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/
I’ve only known about your website for two weeks. It’ great and your are absolutely Fantaselicious! What do you think of my new portmanteau.
Well, I have a word request for a friend that didn’t know the meaning of the word smitten. As in i am quiet smitten with your charm, beauty, and intelligence.
Also some day i would love too play among your hollow , dell and dingle. ha if only.
Моё судно на воздушной подушке полно угрей
Well we mustn’t forget the letters we droped tomake the new word, after all each letter might represent someones whole existence.

Ticd, as in a contest between blue ray and cd the tie always goes to the cd as it is the most common denominator
stokesjrj1, you seem to have repeated yourself on this comment.. which version do you want to keep?
Thanks for asking the bottom one.no the top one, no together they are the complete comment.
Is that comment allowed?
Sorry Teacher i seem to be able to type faster than the comment box can keep up with at times. Thats supposed to be ….”dropped” not “droped”
Teacher you are the best
Whats the origin of the word sympathy?
Teach, Please leave “Machinima” to the shut ins, Focus on your strengths, With O’Reilly and Others , You are on the way to becoming a Phenom. Like Cher, Madona, and others that took what god gave them and challenged the World.
Hey Marina, Who is your web server provider? I want to know so I don’t buy anything from them. I couldn’t believe they went down twice.
Amen. Jack. I like the new picture.
You like the new photo?!?? That my old Second Life Avatar. I had a girl help me pick out shape and skin. I kind of wanted it to look like the real me but a bit enhanced. I never have a problem finding a date in SL.
Song playing in my head…% Im too sexy for my car.. Im too sexy for my yacht. Im too sexy for my shirt…
Yea there starting to come back now
Oh Yea aLx also.
huh?
embedded on the wp servers?
I simply uploaded an image on gravatar.com …
Hmm all my gravitars have disappeared after an automatic update of my avast antivirus. all except prospero811,annuddermale, nighteye,greenbush,Bob,and harveycasual . You guys must be embedded on the wordpress servers to be able for me to still view your avatars. Wordpress might want to investigate a better security package than the one they are currently using.
my gravatar comes from here, not WordPress. WordPress simply has a gravatar-enabled system…
That is who serves your gravatar, or did someone there make your gravatar for you, or do you work for them, otherwise that is not where your gravatar, came from. I did not know they provided the actually icon.
that is the site that hosts my gravatar, correct…i simply uploaded the image file and that site created the gravatar…
to recognize the gravatar, a site has to have a correctly executed gravatar plug-in…
so perhaps there was a problem with the plug-in on the HotForWords site temporarily after the servers went down, or perhaps the servers hosting the gravatars for the members whose images remained “up” were simply closer to the HFW server and therefore the links came back up faster than for those whose servers were further away…
or maybe it was just luck…
Don”t know what to say Mr. stokesjrj1. I added extra weight to my home-made gravatar so the anchor wouldn’t slip out………Yeah, I’ve been having problems logging in to reply here, many times. So I go to my msn browser, or IE7, or firefox/mozilla. I don’t know what works best because the answer always changes. But Miss HFW said about cookies, not to delete them. Not for me. I delete my cookies, temp files, run ccleaner, Mcafee cleaner, spyware check, ect. every day. So maybe the answer is in the server for HFW, as it is somewhat overloaded ( that’s why us dear students don’t have the option to rate this video any more).
If that’s you from now on… here are your future students! XD
And they can be so… caprisious.
Humorously,
Chemikal
Chemikal, Those are very good .
Hey I’m new hear but I was wondering if you could tell me about the words Blaidd Ddrwg, Wales, and Welsh please.
I would rather have my “Hot for Words” lessons directly from the real Marina.
For me I would rather get to know how she thinks, what her thoughts are, what are her visions of her future, how she stumps me with her knowledge, etc. Hot babes are a dime a dozen. Super Smart hot babes are very rare. Hell if Marina was just a head in a jar like in the TV show Futurama. I would still be hear watching the vids.
I’ll take Marina any form she wishes to put her self into and I’ll love every minute of it.
Hey captinjack! thanks for the reply a few days ago. it seems i cant visit this site without learning something every time. i love it! i see you changed your av and because i can find humor in ALMOST everything I must tell you the first thing i thought of was good ol’ fire marshall bill. “Let me show ya somptin’”!! take a look and tell me if im wrong http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMCEzjj51s4 …please dont be made
like i said its just the first thing that came to mind 
We all learn here. Even our wonder teacher Marina. You see when we all share just a little bit if information to others we add to our collective knowledge. We are all teachers to some extent.
Humor… Well if you can’t laugh and have fun in life then whats the point? Even in my classes I do silly stuff. Like for example you know when your teacher would throw an eraser at someone that gave a silly answer? Well I do the same thing but I throw rubber ducks. I throw it first then say “DUCK!”. It always get a laugh. Most of all it keeps the sometimes boring lectures I have to preach to the class. I should video tape a class or two. Even though the subject might not be of interest to some people but I think the show would be entertaining.
I love Jim Carrey stuff. Funny guy!

NO-GO.
Hey Bruce she will be back they’ve just gone to discipline a very special spoiled child.
Bruce do you like playing celestial celestial chess with our father?
Back in the 60s-70s during the reign of sports analyst Howard Cosell, I invented a word to describe his manner of speaking, and called it “diarrhetoric”.
Its also called ratchetjaw
