random lesson….I was asking somebody who is an old school geek about cookies and he said “its a tracking devise” and more, but not desert…from The Philosophy of Schopenhauer—-THE METAPHYSICS OF THE LOVE OF THE SEXES “Ye wise men, highly, deeply learned, Who think it out and know, How, when, and where do all things pair? Why do they kiss and love? Ye men of lofty wisdom, say What happened to me then; Search out and tell me where, how, when, And why it happened thus” ___Burger
Good point birchbeertree. Think I’m gonna have to start using that. Though I think that could be attributed to a whole phase that spawned phrases like cutie/sugar pie, honeybun, cupcake etc etc. HFW and HFP are my sweet cheeks “slap”
You left out the American usage of cookie back in the 50’s. Cookie was use as a compliment to a cute girl or good looking girl, used as in. Hey there cookie, or heres look’in at you cookie, used as in a come on. Ya get my meaning cookie.
My psychic powers will let me guess the next word Marina will discuss in a video….
…… let me think hard on this one… hmmmm….
I think it’s going to be drug -related… yes… I’m getting something….
Could it be… “cocaine?”
Hmmm…. let’s see if my psychic powers work!
Yep….I’m sure… I consulted the stars, the tarot cards, and the entrails of a sparrow, and they all point to the same thing – the next word will be “cocaine.”
Bets?
Bets?
Is that the name of your GF?
Anyway, I know how you did that.
How did you know?
I could tell you, Warren, but then I’d have to kill you.
Besides, these supreme mental powers that I have at my disposal are not safe in the hands of mere mortals. I am only now attempting to harness this power, and use it for good.
Funny!
But I think I’ve found out your secret.
It has something to do with a Tin Foil Cap.

I goofed. I was trying out some of the html code and didn’t put something in right.
hi there.
just curious about word ”Tort.”
appreciate if you could get background meaning of it.
cheers
Response to Tort. Tort is a claim to an injustice or intentional injury caused by the courts or government employees etc. It is a claim of wrong doing by the government. It is a body of law that creates remedy for, civil wrongs. A person who is legal injured may find remedy through a TORT.
Anything to do with Schwartzwaldkirschetort? (Black Forest Cake)
Better than any cookies.
A friend of mine saw this lesson and commented that the second half of the video seems like Marina’s take on internet dating, or at least hanging out with her student body. Such an intersting dynamic going on here at HotForWords.com. Reminds me of the song ‘Personal Jesus’ by Depeche Mode, only with a internet tilt…
Reach out touch faith
Your own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who cares
Your own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who’s there
Feeling unknown
And you’re all alone
Flesh and bone
By the telephone
Lift up the receiver
I’ll make you a believer
Take second best
Put me to the test
Things on your chest
You need to confess
I will deliver
You know I’m a forgiver
Reach out touch faith
Reach out touch faith
I will deliver
You know I’m a forgiver
Reach out touch faith
Your own personal Jesus
Reach out touch faith
Peace, Errin : )
And, on the flip side, the lyrics to a different Depeche Mode song called ‘Dream On’…
Can you feel a little love?
As your bony fingers close around me
Long and spindly
Death becomes me
Heaven can you see what I see
Hey you pale and sickly child
You’re death and living reconciled
Been walking home a crooked mile
Paying debt to karma
You party for a living
What you take won’t kill you
But careful what you’re giving
There’s no time for hesitating
Pain is ready, pain is waiting
Primed to do it’s educating
Unwanted, uninvited kin
It creeps beneath your crawling skin
It lives without it lives within you
Feel the fever coming
You’re shaking and twitching
You can scratch all over
But that won’t stop you itching
Can you feel a little love?
Can you feel a little love?
Dream on dream on
Blame it on your karmic curse
Oh shame upon the universe
It knows its lines
It’s well rehearsed
It sucked you in, it dragged you down
To where there is no hallow ground
Where holiness is never found
Paying debt to karma
You party for a living
What you take won’t kill you
But careful what you’re giving
Can you feel a little love?
Can you feel a little love?
Dream on dream on
Can you feel a little love?
Can you feel a little love?
Dream on dream on
Dream on dream on
Peace, Errin : )
Errin could you please explain a little more on what you wrote. I didn’t quite get what you were try to get across. Sorry I am a little slow at these things.
Mike
it’s the beer…
‘er…hate to break the sad news to ya, but beer dehydrates ya, not hydrates ya…
not that that’s ever stopped me, either…
A “cookie” is a text-only string that gets entered into the memory of a browser.
According to an article written by Paul Bonner for Builder.Com on 11/18/1997: “Lou Montulli, currently the protocols manager in Netscape’s client product division, wrote the cookies specification for Navigator 1.0, the first browser to use the technology. Montulli says there’s nothing particularly amusing about the origin of the name: ‘A cookie is a well-known computer science term that is used when describing an opaque piece of data held by an intermediary. The term fits the usage precisely; it’s just not a well-known term outside of computer science circles.’”
He got the term from the term “magic cookies” used by Unix programmers.
However, some people may believe that each individual person may define the word “cookie” differently, and no definition is correct or incorrect, except in the mind of the person defining it. I say, “may believe” since it is impossible to know one way or the other.
No video? What happened?
Never on a Sunday, Prophet.
exactly…Never On A Sunday…
Did you know that atheists only form non-prophet organizations?
HTTP cookies, or more commonly referred to as Web cookies, tracking cookies or just cookies, are parcels of text sent by a server to a web client (usually a browser) and then sent back unchanged by the client each time it accesses that server. HTTP cookies are used for authenticating, session tracking (state maintenance), and maintaining specific information about users, such as site preferences or the contents of their electronic shopping carts. The term “cookie” is derived from “magic cookie,” a well-known concept in UNIX computing which inspired both the idea and the name of HTTP cookies.
Cookies have been of concern for Internet privacy, since they can be used for tracking browsing behavior. As a result, they have been subject to legislation in various countries such as the United States and in the European Union. Cookies have also been criticized because the identification of users they provide is not always accurate and because they could potentially be a target of network attackers. Some alternatives to cookies exist, but each has its own uses, advantages and drawbacks.
Cookies are also subject to a number of misconceptions, mostly based on the erroneous notion that they are computer programs. In fact, cookies are simple pieces of data unable to perform any operation by themselves. In particular, they are neither spyware nor viruses, despite the detection of cookies from certain sites by many anti-spyware products.
Most modern browsers allow users to decide whether to accept cookies, but rejection makes some websites unusable. For example, shopping carts implemented using cookies do not work if cookies are rejected
lol see ya
A lot of people like to delete their cookies thinking it makes them safer. Perhaps it does, marginally, but the biggest impact is you lose your session on sites. As an example, if I delete my cookies, I have to log back in to this site every time I visit, if I don’t, I remain logged in as long as WordPress allows. I’d rather have the convenience of cookies than some pre-Netscape 4 rational behind cookie security.
And I thought I was the only one that stayed logged in all the time.
Marina how about the word eavesdrop. t doesn’t have anything to do with the eave of a house or the night before which is spelled eve.
Hmmmm. Are you sure it doesn’t have anything to do with eaves of a house? What if someone up on the roof were to hang (or drop, as it were) their head down from the eaves outside an open window at night in order to overhear a conversation going on in an upstairs room? Just a guess. Of course, I’d rather speculate about it than actually look up the origin myself… It’s my day off.
When I do it the blood rushes to my head and I get dizzy.
So is that when you’d drop from the eaves into the alligator-filled moat below? I’m starting to see a word origin: it’s “drop-down menu.”
There you go. You’r not really off duty.
Pyback is hell my friend.
I can’t even spell pay I was laughing so hard.
an eavesdrop was the area around a house under the eaves that had to be kept clear for rain to drop so to hear what someone was saying in the house they hung around the eavesdrop to listen.
Sounds like a sound idea
So much for my wild-ass-guess… the imagery of Capman911 dangling his fishbowl-covered noggin from the roof is fast fading.
Fun while it lasted, though! Good-on-ya, peridotite magma! Stick around.
Please be careful not to drop your eaves.
I wear suspenders
My eaves need a little more support than just suspenders. Supported but free, you know?
I tried that juice combo… which I would have never thought of before. It’s a little strange but I think I like it!
i’m a lil’ strange and sometimes people like me, too…
HIc, could be. It’s 102 here today so we have to stay hydrated some how.
So we drink more to try and keep up. Never ending cycle. but a good one.
i want to know the origin of the word “cd”.. why a cd was called cd? what ws the origin of the word cd ? Marina plz help me….. :roll
‘er…Compact Disc?…or Certificate of Deposit…
or, as i’ve sometimes heard, Certifiable Dumbarse…
Now, Now, annuddermale,
Cool Down.
thankx
Compact Disk
Oops. Apparently both “disc” and “disk” are correct.
Civil Defense?
Community Development?
The chemical symbol for cadmium?
Congressional District?
cd is also the abbreviation for “candela” meaning “a unit of luminous intensity equal to 1/60 of the luminous intensity per square centimeter of a blackbody radiating at the temperature of solidification of platinum (2,046°K). Also called candle.”
Or, do you mean the French corps diplomatique?
disc or disk?…a cultivator uses a disk, but a disc jockey shuffles platters, or discs…
all i will say is tsk-tsc!…
Marina,
Love your stuff. Not really a word request, just thought I’d tell you about a little game we used to play back in school called “Fictionary Dictionary”. Get a group of at least 6 people. One person leads each round. The leader looks through a dictionary for a word they don’t know. When they do, they ask the group if anyone knows it. If someone does, they keep looking until they find one that nobody knows.
When they find a word that is a complete mystery for everyone, the leader writes out the definition on a piece of paper. Everyone else makes up and writes their own definition on separate pieces of paper. The leader collects them, mixes them up and then reads each one to the group. Then everyone chooses which definition they think is the real one.
The leader gets 10 points for each person who doesn’t choose the real definition and other people get 10 points for choosing the correct definition. For each peson who chooses a made up definition, that author gets 5 points.
Continue until everyone has had a chance to be the leader. The winner is the person with the most points at the end of the circuit.
mata, ne.

I request The Word WAR
Like is that an Abbreviation for something…
on a side note, why is abbreviation such a long word!!!
The word has about 6 origins all similar from 6 different countries, but the word is so ancient it is impossible to verify which one came first.
See my comments below on this word.
On the same note why is “long” such a short word ?
It’s all relative.
Another word request: Enfranchisement
DOROGOMYLAYA MARINA,konechno eto pravil’no,ya sovsem ne hochu osporit’ dovody svoego liubymogo prepodovatelya!
no pover’ mne: the Dutch word ”koekje” acquired by the American English was originated by the old French word ”COCAIGNE” which certainly derives from the Latin verb -COQUERE-…anyway i don’t want to be so boring! kstati..Marina, your own personal motto is -MENS SANA IN CORPORE SEXY- isn’t it?
