Commenting is sexy
Hey guys… I wanted to show you a video on the coComment plugin I mentioned earlier. Watch the video then sign up here, install a plugin, and you will be able to track your conversations from all over the web in one place, no matter where they occur. It’s completely free.. PLUS, if you look to the right side of my website, there is a widget there that shows the recent conversations I have had all over the web.
You can follow me and participate in my conversations.. and perhaps back up your teacher for extra credit 
Here is my personal page over at coComment.. so you can get an idea of where I have been conversing.
Check it out and let me know what you think
Marina
Remember to vote for your teacher over at the Best Weekend Ever Website.
You can vote up to 5 times a day.

“He has a chip on his shoulder.” Why does that mean what it means?
DEAR MARINA– the origin of the phrase “piping hot” ??thanks.tom from staten island.i was away for a bit but i’m back.
man - talk about a communication overload! I’m constantly pulled from my work to help others get their jobs done - I hate instant messaging and email - schmucks just pass the monkey onto me with a short and sweet email message and expect me to cover their aXs (sorry…no way out)
anyway - sorry for the vent - you must get too much
but, phrases
monkey on your back
schmuck
esp the monkey
ooo’s and xxx’s to ya (hugs and kisses)
(miss a smart woman)
Comments is a way of expressing an opinion, your video is inspiring.
Inspiration + transpiration = the neutral element of multiplication and addition. Very few people expects NO COMMENTS. A dialogue is essential for collaborating and communicating.
So I like comments.
Sincerely Lord Byte
ya ne rusumeo!
lol, stalker program?
I was wondering, do you know what the origin of the word: ‘Word’ was. It is such a short collection of letters and the concept isn’t particularly easy to define, so where did it come from?
Riddles
u should do the word ACCENT haha.
Hi Marina… love the lessons… extremely hot here in Tennessee..was wondering about the origin of the phrase…”sweatin’ like a pig”…. Thanks and chat with ya soon
hey marine are u mad dat russia didnt win miss universe
A great way to get knowledge to the people.
It is not often to say now a day what someone try to intrepret words up to their old origins.
I hope you will find the one word, explain all and none, for you and all of your watchers.
Ty for explainig something allready clears, but famliar intresting to see the origins of the words!
you are great! will you marry me?
Marina, parabéns! Eu acho very cool a tua frase ” Intelligence is Sexy!”. Grande sacada. Um grande Abraço de mais um amigo brasileiro!

I don’t know if my experience reflects that of others. but this co-comment site is too slow. I feel like I am back in ‘98 with dial-up. So, as busy, multitasking sort, I can’t wait for it to do its thing. I do leave it open though so that it eventually loads, but zzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
origin and meaning of the word “tomboy”
I’d like know what you find as the origin of “sincerely”.
dolphinbite,
yes a brolly is an umbrella. A gamp is also an umbrella, usually a big, unwieldy one. This comes from Dickens’ book, Martin Chuzzlewick. The character, Mrs Gamp carried a big umbrella, which gave rise to the term “a gamp” for such a brolly.
Hello Marina, there is a phrase that i have heard for some time. “Drop the dime” meaning some one reveled the truth about someone or something, usually something illegal. What is the origin of this?
I’m pretty sure “Brolly” is British slang for an umbrella, but I have no idea what a “gamp” is.
I request the word, aphrodisiac, you can be a bit of one. I suspect the name originates from the goddess Aphrodite. This is also a test of the co-comment system.
Looking forward for your videos
i would like to here the etymology of etymology from you pretty lady!
1398, from Gk. etymologia, from etymon “true sense” (neut. of etymos “true,” related to eteos “true”) + logos “word.” In classical times, of meanings; later, of histories. Latinized by Cicero as veriloquium.
Keep up the enthusiastic attitude !
Love The Ukraininoak !
i wanna see her in a bra
word up…
A beautiful russian lady after mine own heart!
Hello! I would just like to see a discussion of the word polysyllabic. I personally don’t Know if it’s a dictionionarily reference word. It’s presentation would be great to hear.
hello

Hey, Marina, I can sonsor you to come to canada.
Phone me: 1-519-749-8259
My tests are getting better results!
Specifically the sidebar menu.
People are all Blue Pac Men
Once you see it with gravatars,
it makes instant sense -Zowie!
People, you gots to start using Gravatars!
Next time I watch this video I
should pay more attention to
what Marina is pointing at - Doh!
An issue remains regarding the
reply box. this currently only nests
one level deep as a comment group.
The result is that to keep a flow of
comments within that group, one
end’s up flagging one’s self.
geeek speak! 3rd person invisible!
A possible solution might be to
embed the reply box in all new
comments. There may be a
justified reason for it to be set
up this way, a default, perhaps?
I can see the pieces come together
but I could use a few more tips
So my Firefox is back up?
This goes beyond magic…
Alikazaam! Poof!
Hey Rocky! Watch me pull
a rabbit out of my … hat!
Marina? Galina? You guys are
going to owe me BIG time to
do all this field testing for you…
I’ll take it in trade, though,
whatcha got to trade?
Thanks so much melikadothechacha!!!! You are the best!
Nice to see your gravatar on my sidebar
I learned how that works - just like that!
All the Pac Men made it confusing.
Tacit tutoring - totally rad!
Thanks, darlin’ [bestest bad grammar]
here is the response I got from CoComments support:
Hi,
Have you any additional plug-ins for your IE 7 or maybe other extensions? Have you installed our extension from our home page?
The matter is that there are some plug-ins which blocks successful work with our product, for example, My IE. As far as you know, My IE is not licensed and officially supported by Microsoft, that’s why we also don’t support it. Only official plug-ins are supported. Check please, maybe you have such plug-ins in IE 7.0 which can block the work on our site?
If you haven’t, describe please steps to reproduce this bag more carefully, and the process of our extension installation.
Thanks for feedback.
Galina.
Thanks Galina. NOW we get the caveat!
as in caveat emptor
I cleaned out my tracking cookies
and now Mozilla Firefox is dead.
I can read my mail but I can’t manage
it from Firefox - i think it’s busy counting
to infinity - no other esponse
Another impotent browser that
f*cks it all up if you don’t let them
spy on you!! Communism, big time!
Be one of us or down you go…..
So, now I have Firefox, with Cocomments
(that isn’t working) and IE7 without any
CoComments installed, but working.
The bottom line appears to be that the
best result from this product is not to
use it at all??
Let’s all hope the product improves
(by magic?) so that it can be made
functional and useful to the users.
That’ll be the day, right?
uh, dude? I tried it on ie7, ff, and safari. every one of these works just fine. maybe it was your 512 mb ram? ;P
that’s bush, not communism.
Of course you mean President Bush, I understand.
My bent was more like insect communism, the hive
mind set - relentless and merciless. Too deep and
not sexy, sorry.
Firefox is doing the job, now!
I had a parallel moment where it felt like I was the
PC guy in that Apple computer commercial…
Knowledge is dangerous
Got Marina plugged into my favorites
Crikey she gets around! [best faux australian accent]
ok - so how does this red envelope icon work?
i click it and open a tab to a list where some
entries are now gray while some are normal.
[view blog] here will get me to the lesson/comment - ok
-just like a bookmark, RSS feed or other shortcut
[more options - untrack] self explanatory. another way
to use that test comment, and dump the track
[more options - mark as unread] so this is like email?
I’ll have a little faith for now…
[more options - open with sidebar]
<—- so now i have a sidebar, huh?
another page opens up to a blog.
Surprise! Comcast is STILL $19.99…
all this futziing around has left me
no time to keep track of mr johnson
much less my comments…
another 48 hrs of cha-cha investigates
Once you get past the spam, it
actually does work!
kaibanator, sniperskaya, elpolio - all
look like pac men on my sidebar
why so blue?
oh, I get it - you haven’t got coComments?
you should probably get this.
Minions, Need more of the Minions at the Teachers co-comments page and sign up on Her friends list. click on( My Comments ) —>> side bar->
Testing, testing; testing. Testing.
check it out been there done that. like little blue minions. solider on.
Marina…
The “My Comments” side bar widget is great… but it might be even better if the links opened in a new window with the target ” _blank” rather than taking us off your site. It could probably be reconfigured to do that if others agree.
And thanks for letting us follow your comments…. I’ve already seen some pretty interesting sites.
uh. I’m confused.
can anyone please tell me how that comment crap works? the comments are not at the actual site where the article is posted that you want to comment on. it’s on the cocomment site. but they don’t see that you posted there? and how the hell can you reply to a comment on the cocomment site? what the fuck?
aLx, you click on the link on the right of the comment that says “view blog” and it takes you to the comments on the actual blog where you can comment.
it doesn’t say “view blog” anywhere. anyway, I know how to get to the actual blog, I know how to view comments. but on the actual blog it says “0 comments” but there are comments on cocomment to that article. that’s what’s confusing me.
aLx.. can you give me a link so that I can figure out what you are talking about?
article with 0 comments.
your comment on that article.
I am not confused and so am I.
this is another test to see
how it works. the “view blog”
i understand ok. this doesn’t
take you straight to the comment
(like an Email will). I guess that
saves me time??
change is hard…
Hi Marina!
I’ve got a word/phrase request for you: “In a pig’s eye”–I was watching an old rerun of Star Trek and Dr. McCoy used this phrase with Spock to express disbelief or otherwise declare something as ludicrous bullshit.
Thanks and have a great weekend!
Ok - I got the dang thing.
I could use a lesson on how to use it
Hope it doesn’t choke my processor…

Hi Marina, have to admit you are the best educationalist I have ever listened to. Just starting but loving every moment so far.
Have a good weekend teacher.
I have never been a Groupie before. cool dude…….and blue?
hey. It´s nice! I thank ou for the tip.
Marina, CoComment News says:-
So I think it’s time you did a video on “flirtation”, since you do it so charmingly.
I will volunteer as a test subject…and i promise not to succumb right away…
it will take at least .0000064792 seconds…
your willpower is amazing!
Marina I hope thats not your legs at the bottom right of the cocomment page.
Well there were some legs there at one time or at least I think I saw them. I might of got up to early.
The only comments I make online and care about an answer to…are the ones I make to my dog:
http://www.zero123.com/sandy.html
Great idea Gorgeous naturally I followed You there and have added You as a Friend there as well.
Have a Nice Evening Marina and Do Take Care.
An Admirer,
Billy
I wasn’t sure what this was about.
Went to one cocomment site listed
where a guy was ripping on the
Bad Grammar piece. Bunch of ‘tards.
Last thing I need in this election year
is another juggling clown tryin’ to
piss me off. Glorified use of the
race card didn’t fly - sorry, not guilty.
“african american vernacular”
Ain’t nuthin’ American about it!
Ugh! stupid is as stupid does…
And that was the first (only) one
I checked out!! Do I dare risk
another one???
OK - I think I shook that off.
Hope I didn’t stink up the place.
It appears the new camera is
working good! It figures Marina
has a little pink laptop for the
nightstand. Teacher’s Apple?
Where’s Kobe? He should’ve
been romping the bed!
Of course aLx found this first
and is mocking Bob about it- LOL
I guess CoComment would be
useful for keeping track of his
postings. That would be handy
for responding quickly with links.
So many times I have to rack my
brain to remember which lesson
had a particular comment that
is worth repeating.
I think I’ll wait to try the plug-in.
Maybe see what experiences
others report, first.
ciao Y’all
Melikado,
I agree about the clown act and
word accountability. My peeve is calling
Native Americans - Indians. seems everyone
doesn’t get it. and now that threy’re abundantly
here in Silicon Valley it seems absurd. Ps. They
are great! They meaning from a Cali. white man.
Incidentally, Oakland tried to legislate and force
feed the school system to teach ebonics.
Stupid does.
I like your comments
I just signed up for co comments as Marina
suggested. This should be interesting.
They track you anyway so why not be in
the loop.
I remember Oakland trying to mandate
the ebonics, or we-bonics as it is known.
those of us who dare use common sense
as opposed to political correctness will
always be targeted as “troublemakers”.
When Nikita K banged his shoe at the UN
I was six. I knew then, as I know now,
exactly what he was talking about, and it
wasn’t using “the bomb” as was interpreted
by the media of the time (Huntley-Brinkley)
.What NK meant has come to pass. America
has been eaten alive from within by every
subversive element we feared from the
former USSR. Congress is undermined,
just a bunch of wetnurse handwringer’s.
Can’t make a decision without a poll…?
Clue number one - if it’s PC, it’s wrong!!!
Peace isn’t won until an enemy is unable
to wage war anymore, and begs it to stop.
Fools in this country don’t get it. Reagan
did get it. He took a lot of crap from the
nay-sayers, and proved them all wrong.
Anyway, there are other sites better suited
for these discussions. This is not the place.
Let’s return to enjoying beautiful comrade
Marina as she helps us to learn new and
exciting things!
2012 is starting to sound plausible
i do have to say that the headshot here is one of the loveliest pictures you’ve taken, Marina…
and that’s not just the sychophant in me jabberin’…
Jabber away all you want.
Your headeshot comment
is spot on
Great tool, although I can see what an unruly student I can be at times…
On a serious note, I keep learning a lot more than just philology from HotForWords. Marina seems to be quite meta when it comes to the ‘net, more cutting edge than most bloggers. And her students are along for the ride when it comes to all the new fwidgets and googogs. Wild.
Ok cookie
SEXY COMMENTS
no, just adolescent dreams masquerading as “adult” comments…
i’ll confess to having been in some of those sites…on a couple i met some of the nicest, most normal people, who simply wanted to learn more about themselves, their bodies, and the pleasure that could be found…but there are always the ones who just are too “hardcore”…
at least for me…
Geez, dude - thanks??
The word “prurient” comes to mind.
Had to smash all those cookies!
Don’t want to be caught in a
pornado!
Wow. She is clearly asking people to cyberstalk her. Sure beats the average date, I suppose.
naw…i’m thinkin’ she has more’n a modicum of commonsense…
she’s a smart cookie…
Or maybe she wants to cyberstalk us!! Oooh, I’m frightened.
nope, again…you are dreamin’…
More like a waking nightmare.
Now I get it… Marina is using cocomments to cyberstalk herself! That way, she is totally ahead of the game when it comes to others cyberstalking her. Clever woman.
bob.
weave…
Duck…
Goose…
‘er…i’d rather you didn’t…
Gander?
“Watching Marina is a joy, but do not gander.” - Rule “I’ll be seeing you in my dreams” from The Marina Sychophant Handbook…
Now you’re just ducking the issue. Or maybe you are just rough grousing.
perhaps…so maybe now…
I’ll fly away///
Chicken!
I love you guys.
Thanks for starting my day off with a paroxysmal gale of laughter - The Perfect Storm!
Marina, can you give them all an extra gold star?
Welcome To My Morning
Sunshine on my Shoulder
Don’t let the duck
jokes get you down.
Eider you shut up or you’re off down the Swannee!
What the flock?! I never knew the student body here had such pluck.
strange birds of a feather flock together…
aLx, being first comment, no big deal. being first student with his pic in a HFW video is a big deal, Look @ 2:17-2:19, your 3seconds of fame, till you get swallowed by a blue hamburger thing. & no it’s not the finger.
You were 2nd reply to something Marina said, do you remember the conversation? Noticed you wrote a whole sentence too, must have been important.
lol, billy, didn’t even notice. good eye. those blue things remind me of pacman.
Boy, you’re sharp, Billy.
And she said I am observant!
We’re going to have to call you “Hawkeye” now.
oh yeah, my reply was a reply to her comment where she pointed us to the bradshaw of the future article.
