Stay Tuned? Oatmeal cookies with honey, just the groats.
Cool photos too. Is your brother still as serious?
The best Cookie(s) I have ever tasted has to be at Waterloo Station in London. Utterly scrummy, very big, thick full of choco chips, crunchy nuts with strawberry fruit drops mixed in. Missed my train because of them too. Ever since, I do best to pop into Waterloo just for them whenever I’m visiting the city. Otherwise Merryland do just fine with a cuppa green tea.
copycat. do we really copy the cat?

lol. der tobi & das bo? fünf sterne deluxe?
Erstens: Ich grenz mich komplett von ‘Das Bo’ ab, mein Name hat nichts mit ihm zu tuen und darum bestehe ich auch auf die Englische Schreibweise ‘The’
Zweitstens: nenn mich dämlich , aber ich kapier nicht so genau worauf du hinaus willst
ayo, deswegen hab ich ja gefragt. ich kann mir halt unter “bo” sonst nix anderes vorstellen bzw. hab ich das damit assoziiert. ’s gibt ja viele, die ihn mögen … warum auch nicht. locker bleiben, hm?
I request -zooscopy
I love cookies stuffed with coconout cream

If cookies comes for a small kake..buiscuit should come for the French Biscuit, which commes from th eItalian biscotto that means baked twice…
So, a little quest for you, do you knw some cookies that are still baked twice?
Hi Marina,
Thanks for visiting MEATHEAD MANIA! We have been learning from you for a while now. Do you think you can find the origin of mania? A word with such unique uses has to have a good back story.
Thanks,
Your little devils at MHM
I guess I am on a roll this morning. As my mentor Yoda would say, Feel good do I. Marina has to be the best multiculturalist ever. Look at how she has managed to bring together probably without realising it, all of us different people from all over the world to one spot and we all get along great. If only our governments could learn such a lesson. We are not only learning the etomology of words, but the back ground and lives of each other and cultures without really thinking about it. I have learned alot by just interacting with you. I would have never have met any of you and learned about Canada the Dutch or German or the Neitherlands or even Russia if it wasn’t for Marina. It was different in school this is first hand knowledge. Marina is not just another beautiful face which she is, but a true teacher. She lhas earned alot in Russia and now she is teaching it to us.
Mike
Ditto.
hello all
finally in new flat with internet back on 
I have a strong feeling that the answer is #3, the dutch word koekje. Just feels like that there is a dutch influence with the origin of cookie
Welcome home kbn8r!
Now get back to work. SNAP

Marina,
What is the origin for John Doe?
http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/Sartre+a nd+bad+faith, “Everything has been figured out, except how to live.” - Jean-Paul Sartre 1905-1980″, or “don’t paint yourself into a corner” that is is a phrase we would all like to know the origin off.
Hi folks. While we have been cutting up in class while the teacher is out of the room has anyone been to the Wired Magazine site on the home page and voted for our sexiest geek lately. Lets not forget her. We got the 7 dollar man over the top so lets do it for our favorite cookie maker.
Mike
Maia Marina,
Another of my favorite cookies are macaroons, You should try them out they are good and good for you.
I know a Jerry Stokes here in NC any relation
none that I’m aware of
Could be though as our family migrated from the eastern United States to Texas.
Marina,
Why the heck is a leg cramp called a “charlie horse”? Was there a famous horse named Charlie!
If not who was Charlie? And was he a horse?
Hey Maria
I’ve got a big one,
I really big one.
Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapiki maungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu
I have never Heard this word said out loud.
Could you tell me how it originated
It comes from New Zealand.
Here are some New Zealand Cookies.
Wow, those taste rather hostile.
Hiya Maria
? 
Could you do me a favor please
I’ve got a question for you.
Why are regular soldiers in the army nown as privates
Where the hell is captainjack?
He’ll be back soon, you can be sure of that.
Ya know what….
I have no idea
He has been giving lessons to his students, last time I checked. Maybe he got the call to captain a vessel at sea. I have no idea how an internet connection at various sea worthy boats works for his laptop/PC/bosses PC. I haven’t heard of any major storms at sea, and maybe carries a sidearm with him in case Ichy Ambers’ pet shark gets loose.
such language from a lady!…
I know and such a pretty picture.
He has a new class to teach futher up North. He had to move his boats to there. It will probably take him a couple of days to get settled in and find a ip. He showed me in an e-mail the campus he will be teaching at but I forgot the name. I assure you a quote from the terminator : He’ll be back”.
This is where he’s at I found his original comment on the salmanella page.

Thanks for all the feedback folks.
I’m going to blame my (Cindarellas) language on having grown up with two clipped haired, mean faced, heathenistic 
stepsisters 
…I’ll check it at the door next time 
We miss you captainjack!!!
But your aim is getting better ?
I would like to request the word “eavesdrop”.
Thanks!
If you think about it? A Cookie is more like a little Muffin. Well, should we call them , Muffies……right?
I had a girlfriend once name Muffie, does that count. You nibble on her.
Can you tell me the meaning of the word hacker
I’m guessing number 3 the dutch’s ‘little cake’ though aleitch has a point kuchen even sounds like cookie. My fav.. probably chocolate chip
A girl friend and were talking, and the subject came up…. Mrs. Miss. Ms. Mz.??

With so many beautiful pictures of our favorite philologist showing up in the videos why such a paltry number of wallpapers available
?
I thought “Cookie” came from the german word “kuchen” which means “cake”. Closest choice in the game is #3. Could it be none of the above?
Sorry, it’s a purely American word of Dutch orgin. Although the German “kuchen” is very similar. Likely many of the Indo-european languages have something sounding similar with a close meaning but it was Dutch immigrants who brought it to America.
Can’t guess the origin of this word as it is not an English word
But you have computer cookies from the American word cookie.
Maybe we should call them computer biscuits ?
Ok Tiger no more hammie jokes. I respect your values. But I’ll find you a nice female gerbal. You know the story on gerbals don’t you?
I am going to have to call you Tiger the V. There is another member with the first name of Tiger but I don’t remember last part of his handle. Be
my little furry friend. 
Do you know it is not English? If you know it is not English you probably know the origin. If you don’t know then you can guess.
Hey man what do you mean
Sound fishy to me
its supposed to look like the dude is high
my friends and i live in a town where weed is smoked almost daily by almost everyone . we were wondering how the nickname “pot” became slang for Marijuana. alos, how did the term “giberish” as in noncense, or, that makes no scence. came about.
new student and i love your movies
Pass the reefer rastafari and we can discuss THC terms all night .
Did I read somewhere else that you live in Scotland ?
Some body bring us a pot of coffee and we’ll smoke the pot and drink the coffee
Any one got any cup cakes to go with the coffee ?
lol no i dont live in Scotland, i live in America.
however; Rastafarianism came from Jamaica,
Welcome aboard rastafari
Marina’s site is growing by leaps and bounds 
Mike
Yep As a Salmon it makes me leap towards that breeding homely place
In the spirit of this game and your childhood photos, I’ll confess that my Mother told me that cookie was my first spoken word. It was a disappointment to her but, what can you do?
My choice is #3.
Favorite commercial cookie - Oreo.
Favorite homemade cookie - Oatmeal with raisins or chocolate chip. They’re both great cooked or as dough.
Oops, I’m sorry, you’ve already done that word haven’t you? Sorry! (I’ll figure this out eventually.) Well, since somebody beat me to that one I’ll request a different word for you to investigate. I want to know the origin of “the ‘f’ word”. Surely you know the word I’m talking about, right?
Thanks (again),
Morgan
She’s done that too, as one of the Maxim Radio Shows.
Morgan since you’r handle is dixiegurl I take it you’r from the south
Go to http://www.gravatar.com and sign up and find you a good ole dixieland avatar for a picture. You can even down load one from your computer through this program or find one on the internet download it to your desk then upload to the gravatar program. Just trying to help out. 
Hi, Marina, I’m a new student and I would like to know the origin of the word “oxymoron”. Please consider my request, I would really like to know where this odd word comes from.
Thank You!
Morgan
Hi there, Morgan,
Welcome to the club.
If you go to the menu bar at the top of the page on the left side, you will see “Lessons” underneath “Home”. Hover your mouse over “Lessons” and a single item drop-down menu will appear, labelled “The Complete Lesson List”. Click on that and it will take you to a page of links to all of Marina’s past videos, among which you will find “Oxymoron”.
Hey guys! Now You all see, how pretty & clever can be a russian woman!//
Расскажи о поговорке “Делу - время, а потехе - час.”!
Well you have done a fine job
1) I know for sure that Al Gore invented the cookie.
2) I know for sure Al Gore invented the internet.
3) I know that every web site I go to gives me one or more cookies.
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and caldron bubble.
Now where’s that eye of newt?

N8ZU
Its name derives from the Dutch word koekje or (informal) koekie which means little cake, and arrived in the English language through the Dutch in North America. It spread from American English to British English where biscuit is still the more general term.
I live in England. Never heard of cookie as an item of food.
The word is not used here at all in the biscuit sense, only the computer sense.
well, bake some computers, then…
“how do you like your cookies?” “hidden and with a lil’ ad on the side”…
Like I said. “British English where biscuit is still the more general term.”
Sorry I didn’t underline it bro.
I like good ole buttermilk biscuits made with flour,lard,buttermilk and touch of salt and grandmas love.
Hey Jon you didn’t need to underline it.
I was passing the RSJ to re-enforce your comments.
Just ceiling your comments with my approval
man i got family in England, quick question…i’ve had scones, but what exactully is it?
HI Marina,
I guess no. 3. The little Duch Koochen.
Yes you’d make a fine supermodel, I think you already do!
Thanks for sharing your pics. I hope you had a good childhood.
another +5 hugs and kisses
Hi, Marina. I’ve been thinking about the word “diet” and doesn’t it seem strange to say that word. I admit that I’m an overweight person and that I need to excercise and “diet” if I want to lose weight LOL. What was the first civilization that came up with this word? Or better yet, what is the origin of the word “diet”?
Thank you.
I have another word request as well.
How did Pineapples get their name?
They are not apples at all, and don’t resemble apples in any way. I can almost understand the Pine part because of the pickly outside and green stalk on top. But apple?
Maybe the fruit’s resemblance to a pine cone was a factor in its naming. Just a guess, though. HotForWords must investigate.
I think that if Hotforwords does invest in a gate then Kobe won’t run off.
I’ll guess theory 3 also.
My favorite cookie is Peanut Butter.
Also, I have a word request…
I know that horseradish comes from the root named horseradish. But where does that name come from? It’s not even a type of radish according to some information I found. It’s a type of mustard. So who came up with this odd name for the root?
My guess would be that darn Equine Society! They are just like the cranberry guild, always trying to get their name on everything. ie: Cranapple, Crangrape, etc. The Equine Society has horsefly, charliehorse, horsing around, a horse of another color. They saw this root that taste like a radish and jumped all over it. Of course I’m no philologist, but that’s my guess.
I’m guessing #3, It sounds right. Also, my favorite cookies are crunchy chocolate chips and a glass of milk.
Also, hello! I’m a new student.
Welcome to our happy party. Marina is an excellent teacher and host. Sh’e the cookie of our eye.
She’s the cookie of our eye.
A nude student ? Put some clothes on at once !
Redundant? will yes……….”some cookies” is redundant. “some”, indicates a number of…, and “cookies” also indicants , a number of……cookie–>s. We all say it thou…….Bad grammar> I was home baking [some] cookies.
and how bad do you what a cookie when She says” cookie??
Yes cookies are like bacteria they are never alone.
Once we notice that nobody uses cooky, and noboby uses bacterium, I beg your clemence if I got some bacteria, or you got some cookies.
one word for you;
I think it´s number three.
I choose #2. I have no idea what the answer is (just like in real life),
but I’m good on tests. My favorite cookie used to be chocolate chip
cookies…anything chocolate. But as the world turns and many moons
come & went, my cookie of choice has surprisingly morphed over to the fig newton… unless I can choose the ice cream cookie, an item that should be disqualified because it’s more of an ice cream treat than being in the strict cookie category.
Fig Newtons! - I haven’t seen those in
yeadecades - I didn’t know they still made them.Google - Google - Google
Hmmm, Those raspberry ones sound nice, too.
good lawd, Bob…what godforsaken spot do you live in that keeps you FN-deprived?…
oh, wait…
i’m FN-deprived…if you say it right…
I’m deprived. There’s no F in Raspberry Newtons!
no problem givin’ u the raspberry…
I want to request the word: befuddle
Try doing a video on the word “cult” because it has different connotations both good (in art, fashion, film) and bad (political groups, religious groups) even though it started out as a neutral word (devotion to something).
Hi Marina:
I think # 1 is the correct answer.
Very nice pictures.
Alidor
I just got this from a book…uxorious. I’m sure this is one the ladies will like.
Terminal YesDear syndrome.
Can you do a video on the word rustylug ….lol lol try a google search on my name .
Cookie comes from the Dutch!!
Favorite Cookie is not even a cookie, I don’t think, but French Madelines are by far my favorite. Especially fresh, warm, out of the oven.

Puzzling question
OR Alas , vexing
I don’t know this one but it sounds like it could be of Indian orgin (dot not feather). Like our words pajamas and veranda.
I think it would be interesting if you explained the origins of the words “language” and “word”. Haha is it just me or is “word” not just a funny word?
How about #1? Thanks Marina.
Dear Ms. Orlova,
I was wondering if you would be able to determine the origin of the word “intransigent”. I’ve used this describe a few people and would love to know where this fancy word came from.
-Trackguy22
I’m Going to say that it’s #1, my first instinct was it’s origin is dutch but in English we say things like doggy and birdy as a diminutive. which is what the je ending is in dutch.
I’m gonna guess #1
