A most famous brand-name origin
Where does this brand-name get its origin? I thought it made for an interesting story while researching it.
Plus, if you like the shirt, my friend will give you a discount if you put hotforwords as a promo code. You can find that shirt plus a bunch of other cool ones at LocalCelebrity.com 
My random…It hurts being branded
Lool, some were really original :

That’s not true bro’.You make it sound like there is some kind of drug scam going on.
While they do buy the leaves,they do so under U.S. legal restrictions through a company in New Jersey which is the only one in the U.S. authorized to import and process them.
Nothing nefarious going on,and the resulting “residue” is handled according to the law under very strict supervision.
I’ve got to get one of those shirts. Seriously though doesn’t everyone already know the origin of this? Hotforprofits needs some cute shirts like that.

Actually Coca Cola still buys tons of coca leaves, but they will not say what for. And Starbucks was caught and sued in San Francisco court for putting epinephrine in their coffee!
epinephrine like an epi pen for when you get stung by a bee or are going into shock that epinephrine

Word Request: Punani
Is it related to poontang?

Thanks
I like that Hawaiian meaning – very poetic.
The difference? Coca-Cola was a pharmacist’s stimulant drink (Cocaine and Caffeine) where Pepsi was a pharmacist’s stomach aide for people suffering from dyspepsia.
I would like to know the origin of the term, “pull off,” meaning “to do something successfully.” Example: “How did you pull off getting into Harvard?”
Ok this is a hard one for you, and deffinately a little taboo, but it’s the only word that keeps occuring to me when I watch your video lessons
. I cannot find any information regarding its origins on the internet so I thought you might be able to help me get to grips with it, and possibly give me a hand. The word has aired on the BBC, in a show called countdown and will go over 99% of Americans heads. So get your etymological dictionary out and look up wank, or you could just hit me around my facetious little head with it.
I guess I must be a one percenter…I work with a Limey here in PBI who has a medal attached to the front of his bike. It says ” World’s Biggiest Wanker ” . It was presented to him in Australia, of all places. I asked him whether he hangs it above or below his VC…
I have a word request my teacher: “train”. Its my faveorite way of transportation and I always wonder wheter it has something to do with its other meining “to train” as in bootcamp.
Is it true that the fat, whitebearded gentleman we are used to seeing around Christmas time was also designed by the cokacola company
They just reinvented him to sell their product.
Yes, before he was portrayed wearing long robes, either red or a light brown, but it was Norman Rockwell that Coca-Cola commissioned to do a new more modern painting of Santa for them to advertise with around Christmas time, and his painting became “The Coca-Cola Santa” and it became their greatest marketing idea ever, and now most people don’t even remember the way Santa used to dress.
Actually now that I think about it, I don’t even think he wore red before he was “redone” in Coca-Cola’s red with white trim. Because I have a old-fashioned Santa tree topper, and it’s the light brown.
The popular image in America is a Coke creation. Red robe, belly, boots, red smilling face etc…. A marketing idea.
In other coutries were the tradition was strong, such an image did not go through and the traditional figure is still strongly associated with the Saint. In eastern France for example he wears a blue dress, is tall and not fat and has a bishop’s hat and a carries a bishop’s cross.
I have heard, that Coca-Cola is an orange based flavour whereas Pepsi is a lemon based flavour, and that Pepsi is the prefered mix with Rye. Also that only Coca-cola should be used as a mix with dark rum.
hello beautiful marina. i would like to know the origin of the word karma, as in good karma bad karma etc.
My karma ran over your dogma.
The dogma runs that you now have bad karma.
Now, lets see if the phrase “bad karma” gets people worked up into a tizzy, like “bad grammar” did.
and what does that mean exactly? lol
I had a karma Gia when I was younger was and excellent little kar
lol, Bob – that’s right – is there really such a thing as “bad” karma? Maybe we should call it “different” karma, or “personal” karma….
Hmmm….
Constant karma is more accurate.
What about Instant?

Marina,
Where did the phrase, “as poached as an elephant” come from?
heh. you like animals, don’t you?
I like all animals, yes, but more of the weird looking animals like unicorn fish, tree kangaroos and elephants…
Especially with a side of fries.
Hey elephants are scared of hamsters and mice.
An elephant…..I bully them…I’ll rip his head off and we can see…….Who nose what embarrassing underwear he keeps in his big trunk.
That’s a good one!
Where did you hear that?
Are you talking to me? I’m pretty slow, so you’re going to have to explain that one to me… hear what?
I didn’t hear it either. Have you been on the whacky backy again Melika
yes, I was “taliking” to you
yes, you “sound” slow
I guess you’ll need to try
a little harder to be fast, huh?
this is as slow as it gets
“how did you come by to
know and understand the
phrase ‘as poached as an
elephant’?”
Did you “read” it someplace?
Did you “hear” it someplace?
Did aliens plant it into your
thought stream, anally?
I was just curioius – sorry!
I hear the phrase being used quite a bit almost everywhere, but about a week ago a friend of mine was on Youtube and she had me listen to this song that she thought was very amusing, and it said, “As poached as an elephant”, and that was the first time that I ever actually thought about that phrase..
Now, I have never actually seen an elephant, much less a poached one, I wanted to request this because I thought it sounded like it would be very interesting for Marina to investigate. Did you know that I’m not allowed to use smilies any more?
Not allowed to use smilies ?
How about frownies ?
Is it a religious thing or is you internet having it’s menstrual cycle ?
OK – thanks for that.
If you poach an egg
then it’s cooking.
if you poach an
elephant, that’s
stealing.
So the conundrum is more
about the word “poach”
I like the green one, myself
Oh my gosh! I can’t believe I didn’t relise that before!
Poaching is to illegally hunt and kill an animal.
Elephants are endangered.
It’s illegal to kill them.
___
Well I guess I can still make something out of my useless request.. Because I don’t see how that word is related to those two definitions..
___
I used the smilies too much on my first word request, and now I’m not allowed!
You can’t poach a hamster.
I don’t fit well enough in either poacher.
I am too big for the egg poacher
and too small for the stomach of a poacher.
Also, the term COKE is used to refer to coal that has been refined to take out the impurities. It is then used to fire the blast furnace, that creates molten metal, such as steel. Wonder how that got started? I remember my grandfather working at the “coke” plant in the 60’s, and he wasn’t making a soft drink!
Hello Marina,
What’s the difference between the two colas? Coke has more phosphoric acid in it than Pepsi… and this acid is also used to clean things.
My friend took a bottle of Coke and shook it up with his thumb tightly covering the opening. His new girlfriend had just revealed that she wasn’t on “the pill” and they just finished having unprotected sex. He took his thumb off the bottle and pushed in her “you know what!” Supposedly, it works to “deactivate?” … “wandering sperm!” hmmm?
Let’s investigate!
New uses for Colas.
FoodDrink for thought. Do you still like Cola?Bob the new uses for colas was an interesting video. I may start spraying my ferns and Hostas with it to keep away the cutworms.
I started feeding my Venus fly trap with Coke but now it doesn’t kill and eat the flies it is holding 347 hostage until I switch to Pepsi
I prefer Coke but the plant doesn’t.
Do you think I should give in or is this showing that hamsters can be weak ??
No don’t give in make the little bastards suffer
They are pesky enough as it is. 
Careful Tig the bomb scare will be the next ploy. Never trust a plant with a bomb
grrr… this must be the evil twin.
hey Marina
I was just wondering about why in America they call it socker but we in Europe call it just football and why Americans call football what we call american football. And why is that like so? It makes just a mix up.
Cause we’re bass ackwards. Its like we still use the SAE number system and still call things ounce, pint, quart, gallon and the rest of the world uses the metric system. We are slow to adapt. People resist change. But change is good. It stimulates the mind to try new ideas. Just my thought on your question
Spot on, Capman,
Constant change is here to stay.
No, it’s because Americans took Rugby and rewrote it some then called it football. So, being Americans who think we are right and the rest of the world is wrong, Football is the name of OUR game, so we renamed the rest of the world’s “Football” to soccer.
Sorry Capman that is more a Russian point of view than an American one that Americans are backass backwards as a nation and should move on to metric.
Sorry I am English and I don’t like metric either so I’m a backass also.
In fact metric was so rarely quoted in the UK for food that the government had to pass a statute insisting that everything was measured is in metric weights and distances.
So now everybody asks the poor shop assistant “568 grams can you tell me how many ounces that is please love ?”
Generally as a nation we hate metric and the Euro (we never joined)
I think that Imperial encourages good mathematics because it is so complicated. Education separated the classes. With base 10 metric a mathematical moron can sound educated. Is this good ?
Are calculators good at school ? Why is religious services banned at school ?
So what you are saying ragabashmoon, is that despite the fact that the ball is handled more than it is kicked it is called football.
Wouldn’t it be more appropriate to call it handball or American Rugby ?
I don’t know why they violated the name of such a dissimilar game. Was American Golf a maybe at one time ? American Tennis ?
Even more tongue in cheek maybe the World Wildlife Fund whose mascot was a Panda was endangered by the World Wrestling Federation (of America only). I reckon that the Pandas got scared when the bozos kept ringing them up for fights.
I don’t understand. I thought you first invented “football” then heard about a game played with a ball and the feet in some other obscure part of the world. As you already were using “football” for something else, then you had to call it something else: soccer from “assoc. football”. Maybe I’m wrong. What I never understood is why in the first place you called football something played with a ball and mainly the hands?
Maybe the Yorkshire saying ” nowt as strange as th’folk lad.”
Funny old things us humans eh ?
Hey Miss
This hamster is impersonating me.
He described himself as human.
Either an impostor or
a few slates short of a roof,
you know a few biscuits short of a packet,
not a full shilling,
barking mad,
you know the light is on and there is no one at home.
When you close the fridge door does the light go out
Hmmm superb humour capman119 (capman911 translated into English)
Still miss Word lover though
Hey I have spent hours trying to sneak the fridge door open but the light always wakes up quickly slowly quietly loudly, I can’t catch it out. I reminds me of the mirror. That just copies me every time. Can’t catch it out.
Hello Marina!
How are you this fine day? I was wondering if it was possible if you could inform me on the origin of the word ‘trivia’. Recently, in one of my literature classes, my teacher mentioned that ‘trivia’ didn’t always exactly mean ‘trivia’, or something along those lines. Though, since I have forgotten what she has told me, I was thinking, “this would be a great job for Marina to do on her ‘hotforwords’ show.”
Thank you in advance for your help.
p.s. I took the advice you had dished out about tracking comments. Not a bad piece of software. In addition, the advice on the more recent soy milk and juice mixed drink, superb!!
Do you believe that “trivia” is an important issue ?
I have another one!… how about the word BABYDOLL… At first sight it should be a doll, the toy, with a baby face… but if you google it you will see a bunch of different models of sexy clothes for women!… how could that be??? what is their relationship?
Where the word Guitar comes from, and Why the guitar is named guitar, haha.
Can you tell mes please.
By the way. the difference between Coke and Pepsi. I think pepsi has a smoother taste, like the difference between splenda and canderell haha!
Not trying to tell the difference between Regular Coke and Diet Coke.
nice COKE!
I heard about it before somewhere!…
Please do this one:
Why the word SEPARATED in the writing spells all together and the words ALL TOGETHER spells separated????
pepsi is sweet and coke is sour?
So next time i want Sweet and Sour Chicken and egg flied lice, I should drink Pepsi and Coke together ?
no, u cook the chicken with coke and pepsi
Teach, I see you on the new york times, This paper is like the old KGB, Cheka, Their job is to mislead and obfuscate. To the same end I am afraid.
Hey Marina, are you going to pick up the new iphone? I hear there going to be extra trick with 3g capabilities and now only $299.00 for the 16 gig model. I only ask because you had mentioned you use one in previous comments.
Why is it called an “I phone” when as an audio gadget it should be an ER-phone ?
It might be the whole multi-billion dollar marketing thing, but, thats just my opinion…you had better copyright that or next year we’ll see the iglass
Or E R ingaid
Anyone old enough to remember the old red coke machine? The little glass door in the front , long and narrow and you would pull the bottle straight out the front. 10 cents. And there was a little box with an opener. No twist tops. To be cool you’d lay the bottle up to a chair or table and hit down with your hand, This would take off the top. Different world then.
I remember one machine, you lifted the lid & had to slide the bottles suspended by their necks, around a track to the point of release. Most of the fun of having a coke was just getting it out of the machine. Saturday mornings, dad took me & my brother hacking around a par three golf course, at the end the reward, either a coke or an ice cream, & in the car the plastic protector from the factory, still on the seats to protect them against childhood spillage. Wow just saying that brings back the memories & the smells, the golf coarse was half of a farm, with cattle. mmmm… breath deep. Yeh I’m old enough
and the Grape NeHi, RC cola, Pa’s root beer
ok BillyB you’r giving away your age like I did.
A&W had girls on roller skates, for real & not as a retro thing, big frosty glass with nose numbing roote beer & fighting with the siblings over who got to ride on the ledge above the back seat on the way to A&W. too much… where’d all go so fast.
we had a A&W but no skaters, just the Car Hops.
I remember the old red coke machine, BillyB’s slide the neck of the bottle machine, and the frosty A&W root beer with hot dogs. The roller skates weren’t an option for employees in my area. Back when gas was 27 to 34 cents a gallon. I guess we are getting off track from Miss HFW’s homework assignment/DETENTION.
I’ve been to A&W before, but the place near me closed, and now there’s not any around anymore… I miss A&W. Probably the reason they quit wearing skates was because too many girls got hurt, I know when I worked at Sonic some of the girls were like “We want to wear skates” and they said they couldn’t because their insurance company wouldn’t allow it, but recently they’ve started allowing their car hops to wear skates again, if they wish.
But, Sonic is not A&W. I miss A&W. Don’t even think there’s one in Kansas anymore at all. Last time I went to one was in Texas.
I remember those machines. I also remember the old machine with the giant lever on the front and the bottle would appear at a lower square cavity that looked like an industrial cat door. But bottle caps were better back then, for kids anyhow. They had a cork seal instead of the soft plasticized seal that was introduced in the late 60’s and still in use. The cork seal was much thicker than today’s seals, and that allowed kids to thumb snap bottle tops and make them sail through the air. Great sport. Now that brings me an idea. Why not cut out some cardboard inserts for bottle caps to make them snappable? I’ll put that on my list of things to do when perfectly bored, like when watching TV.
thanxs very interesting topic lov Augie
If you live down south, the term “coke” is used for ANY soft drink, not just Coca-Cola.
I didn’t like the new look…….

Nobody spoke yet about alternative colas, let’s promote them:
Fair trade colas: “Beuk Cola” try to help rural producers from Costa Rica. “El Che Cola” OGM free and giving 50% of the profits to OMGs. “Imazighen-Cola” 10% of the profits to promote Berber culture
Open source cola: “OpenCola” with a free an open source recipe anybody can produce it and improve the recipe under the GNU General Public Licence
Islam friendly colas “Zam zam cola” ‘Qibla Cola” and of course “Mecca Cola”
Local colas: “China Cola” “Breizh Cola” “Chtilà Cola” “Cola Turka” “Salva Cola” “Kofola” “Inca Kola” “Vita Cola” “Elsass Cola” “Jolly Cola” “President’s choice Cola” “Sinalco Cola” ‘tuKola” “Corsica Cola” “Evoca Cola” “Kola Real” etc etc etc…..
Sorry, was having a 10 2 and 4 while watching the lesson…
Yeah, Coca-Cola in the little 8 ounce bottles, and later the 16 ouncers. Anyone remember Dr. Pepper in the 10-2-4 bottles? It was more of a southern thing.
I knew Coke-Cola was the # 1 brand name however I did not know that background information Marina.
Thanks a bunch Gorgeous.
Oh Pepsi tastes sweeter to me than Coke.
An Admirer,
Billy
I love that saying “thanks a bunch.”
I try to visualise it and can’t.
What does a bunch of thanks look like ?
Here calls a phrase / word request please Marina
So you are saying that thank your are fruit or vegetable because they come in bunches. Do they look like radishes, bananas, grapes ?
Yes the Thank You plant has big strong leaves so enabling large bunches to be gathered on the Thank You plantations at harvest time.
A very gratifying period I would think !
So you harvest these with a verballycombined harvester ?
Here one could visualize me giving Marina a big hug with a big smile on my face showing how happy I was.
I was pretty offended by a link on your web page until I realized it was a link provided by Google Ads® which I assume you only incorporate to make more money. Seems you are learning the American way awfully fast.
We , Her monions what to see her make money so she can keep doing this OK?
I have to commend your honesty. I do understand it is by my choice I visit here.
Hey roadrunmch did you mean minions or morons
someine same and swotched my o and i in my key biard
He was making a joke about our being rich and relatively unintelligent (vegetables with money, —> money + onions= monions)
I was being sarcastic. Seems proof reading is passe as well,
“We , Her monions want…” rather than “We , Her monions what…,” but enough of English 101.
Anyway I personally hate when sites get cluttered with ads, especially those which attack others. That was my point.
Hi bobsully,
Copy that, thanks. You and I are so very “on the same page” that it would seem we underestimate each others’ abilities to follow our respective trains of thought. Mea culpa, but further on…
Likewise, I was being facetious about failure to proofread one’s own submissions (precisely by not mentioning it!) before committing them more or less permanently to the Submit Comment button.
Does anyone (besides me) ever consider that this forum might also serve as a kind of barometer or core sample revealing the temporal development (change over time aspects) of our own individual philological and/or linguistic education(s)? Those who participate and pay attention can learn more than just The Lessons from this blog because it’s a community. We learn from interaction with each other. Well, I do anyway.
Stupid stuff I cogitate on from time to time…
Sorry to digress. While I assert that our observations are critical to the vibrancy of the forum, it seems to me a bit unnecessary to disparage Marina for making her way by whatever means she deems appropriate in this capitalist murk through which most of us must either sink or swim. Wouldn’t you agree?
Personally, I didn’t notice any negative ads. I guess I don’t pay attention to them. I do know they are generated by keywords that Google senses on a webpage. I also know they help pay the bills to keep our forum afloat.
Thanks for responding, bobsully.
See you around the campus.
Certainly she can do as she pleases, just as I can choice to leave if it loses its unique niche and focus.
That being so, it is inevitable that, with certain “bad language” (I know, I know – don’t start again!) being used freely in here, some of the ads are going to be offensive to some.
People have two choices:-
1. Allow the ads to appear and ignore them, or
2. Use some kind of software to filter or block the ads.
For the latter, I use a Firefox Add-on called “NoScript” which allows me to block undesirable content from all sites except the ones which I specify.
Well it wasn’t really “bad language,” but rather standard language used to convey racist remarks. I would write Google, but I didn’t save the link. Got to love the Internet.
It’s suddenly gotten really hot and humid here in the northeast US. So I was wondering if you could find the origin of the phrase “sweating bullets”.
Barmar it was 102 here in the middle east in NC also.

Hey Marina could you do the phrase Deus Ex Machina? i herd it meant like a solution or something
MARINA–i knew that coke was the most recognized brand in the world.what is the most recognized word in the world?i know the answer.i want to see if you do.i can’t tell you here because then everyone will know.tom–staten island n.y.
OK
Microsoft is big worldwide, but doesn’t translate well into other languages, ie in China I hear that mens’ masculinity is offended to have to use a product name that translates “small & soft”
tomping61, yes I know you were addressing our dear teacher, but my answer to your GTW is: no. If I’m wrong my grade won’t be affected, and will create more web traffic for HFW.
“OK” – see the lesson!
Marina, just curious, but what is a famous Russian product, other than Vodka? I know about Zenit, FED, Kiev and Zorki cameras for example, but what else is there from Russia that is famous there that we might not know about here?
Yougo. the car
That was from You-go-slow-via, not Rush-hour.
Wasn’t the Yugo faster model built for Rush-hour ?
AK 47s, lots of guns, good guns better then Usa.
BS. I’ve shot both American, Soviet bloc and Chinese weapons. The AK trigger group was derived from the American M1 Garand action. Russian weapons have looser tolerances which means they work better overall in severe conditions and are easier for uneducated people to operate, but are far less accurate than American weapons. American sniper rifles are all capable of sub MOA groups. Most Russian sniper rifles are not.
Caviar.
I heard a story about a naval captain who wanted to reward his crew for a particularly good performance in an inspection.
Out of his own pocket, he bought them caviar, to be served in the mess at tea-time.
Asking his No.1 afterwards how the crew had received the gesture, he was shocked to learn that they had complained about the blackberry jam tasting of fish.
where does the phrase “pie in the sky” come from?
Snake and Pygmy Pie in the sky ?
Sneeze and Bunion ?
Chicken got much room
I want to know the answer to the ultimate question about life, the universe and everything.

ahem.. coComment lessons, please
here is a educational vid
try again, this video will help http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkV-jjpWjQs&feature=related
Ummm… was that a response to “How to use coComment”, “Is Marina a Rock Star”, or …
Oh! I get it, the meaning of life.
Marina is there anyway you could add [reply] to a comment box with in another comment box. Say I make a comment. Pagedoll then comments on my comment then someone comments on Pagedolls comment but there is no [reply] section in her comment box so we have to find where she has commented somewhere else to answer her back. Is this making any sence?
i know what you’re saying. if i respond to a comment made to me, the reply sends an email to me, not the other person. I’m dizzy, now…
I know I got dizzy just trying to say it.
How can a 2 letter word make you dizzy ?
So, again I can respond to you but this is a new conversation group. You will be able to respond in this window, but your response will not have a reply button. It does seem there ought to be a way to nest that variable. Must be a default setting. She could modify that code easy, I bet. Maybe even through an interface! “Know what I mean, Vern?” – Jim Varney
Hey hot for words.. I heared a word in English class the other day, Ide like to know if you could help me understand it.. i feel silly going to the teacher about it. The word is.. “ambiguous” thanks i hope you can help me! Mr.Gillespie.. pronounced gill-ess-pee by the way
I just now got my latest video from youtube for Hot For Words on the coke video. I wonder why it takes so long for it to reach my e-mail when its been on youtube all day
. We’ve already made 190 comments and the video now shows up 
The email notification always comes in several hours after a new post is released. I don’t know why, but it’s that way. It gives the people who watch and wait to be first responder a bit of a head start though.
Are you a you tube subscriber? If you were you’d gat notified via youtube account. I gotta see if I’m blocked or somehing, I don’t get my notification anymore
I am BillyB but I don’t get a call from utube either.

Marina, it is also interesting to see how Coca Cola developed their famous bottle. The main difference between Coke and Pepsi is that Pepsi is sweeter, and originally used pepsin, an enzyme that helps break down food enzymes, as one of its’ ingredients, thereby the name. Pepsi was originally called Brad’s Drink because it was created by Caleb Bradham of New Bern, North Carolina in 1893. Pepsi did not adopt their red, white and blue trademark colors until the start of WW2. Prior to 1941 Pepsi’s colors on the bottles had been brown!
No, it helps break down Proteins; breaking down the natural enzymes in the food would inhibit digestion.
PS. if you go to the CoComment dohicky , You can talk to her where she does comment. looks like she is on a real-estate site , maybe She’s looking to move again. 400,000 won’t buy shit thou.
400 will get alot more today than it would a year ago. I worked in a house today that the guy picked up for 3.7 and and 18 months ago it was apraised at 5.3. There are deals to be had but anything that requires payments, especially these days we’re in, is a little risky for my blood…but, thats just me.
oh well, spec-u-later!
I can see that she’s been there
but I don’t see her comments
when I go there.
I mean, what’s the point?
GO TO MY COMMENTS, This take you her site, click on the site you wish to see.
#3 try , No pagedoll , She is gone a lot , She has got to be very busy, besides, If you were Her would spend any more time in this ZOO of misfits, I am just glad she still take time to make the videos. THANKS MARINA, …….THAT’S GOOD ENOUGH………THERE YOU GO.

neh – beta, as in beta testing
Ethically, this is done before
a program is released upon
the masses, or they tell you
up front it’s a beta (full of bugs).

of this by using the public at

You know what I miss? Comments from our teacher. I’m starting believe the trend is not the subject of food but the ever decreasing amount of replies from our dearest Marina. Am I wrong? Is it all im my head? …just dont think I’m that far off.
NO…….. I too have sniveled about the absents of
oldBlue Eyes, But I am sure She is very busy and if you had better things to do then respond to these ZOO of misfits in these posts , would you? I say , I am happy She still takes the time to do the videos , That is good enough. THANK’S MARINA…….THERE YOU GO.Yes. I reluctantly agree with you.
TRY AGAIN, ………..NO……..I too have thought her gone alot, But if you had better things to do then respond to this Zoo of misfits , would you? Besides I am just glad she still takes the time to make the videos , So Thank’s Marina, good enough. ……..There you go.
this g-damn site, it took 3 times to see it post , then it posts all of them sorry guys, Iam going for tard of the day.
Roadrunmch when my computer want load the replys I have to reboot my machine for some reason. Then it works every time. I don’t know if the memmory or cache gets to full or locked up or knocked up. Maybe your computer is tard and need to go night night.
No worries, as Gump said, “it happens”
I went to youtube today and she was over there commenting to the masses on that blog
Last I heard, she was off being a rock star.
Somehow, we’re supposed to help by using
coComments. It’s like being stuck with the
fugly blind date who only says things like
“You got any money?”
yup, we’re little blue soldiers , keeping ourselves entertained, Like the golden road of brick to the city on the hill, We are the Scarey Old Crow, Sin Man and the Lier-n. Watching out for Flying butt monkeys. And staying clear of the Wicked Bitch of the Dem’s. On the way to getting Marina to the Wizard .
hmmmm…. should I stick my head in a plastic bag?
or use coComments and accomplish the same thing?
that felt good
What felt good? The bag on you’re head or the hole you poked in it to remain alive?
I ment ” your “…sorry
I’m getting a nasty feeling from
being horse-dicked around
by coComments. It’s proved
to be a clumsy, unintuitive
program, now I’ll KNOW clumsy
when I see it again

- Ren & Stimpy, Mr Horse
What are you having trouble with? I signed up months ago & don’t try to use it much. I guess I just try to limit how much commenting I do (Sometimes), but it hasn’t kicked my ass or anything I just see it bellow my comment box & trust someone’s keeping track. Keeps me from going insane on my comments knowing if I kick off my family may track where I virtually went :-}
When you put it that way, I see my problem is that I actually had an expectation that this product would do more than just lie there (like Paris Hilton in her video) and suck up resources without any tangible result.
There’s a lesson here. It’s about the meaning of the words “real” and
“apparent” as they relate to each other. Asi in “real power” vs “apparent power” for example. Thanks for helping me figure that out.
Hello Marina.
Since I found this video on Youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJcDmxhmTDQ), I would like to know the origin of the word hedgehog.
Obviously it comes from Hedge + Hog and Hedge is rather self-explanatory, considering where they live, but Hog?
wondering what the word “morass” origin is. thanks ~Leo~
Marina,
I am curious about the origins of the the term “Scapegoat”
OMG Pennslytuckies goat has gotten away. Someone got his goat
Huh. Attack of the Silent E?
So would you pronounce that silent ” “.
as i said in youtube
nice blush (and hair too)
very young style
i love it
Hey Marina I was wondering if you could do the word “Aryan” because its a lot different than most people think it is and im kind of confused about it myself.
Dear teacher
Coquine or cocaïne?
Is it possible to get the origin of the word “beyond” please?

What is the origin of the word saloon? Did it’s use begin in america?
Can “YOU” be addicted to someone expressions? Teach could read from the NY phone book and I’d watch. Other then being sick, can that be why? ie The way you feel when you talk to someone you are friends with. Their expressions? I underestimated how much better the close ups are. Her expressions. EYES

Could you do one on the origin of the word “Wow”? I know we all use it but where did it come from? If not that one how about “Straight up” as in “That’s straight up cool.” If ya could that’d be awesome
I would like to request a word. The word is lackadaisical, and I once read a cute quote; ” If the English language made any sense, the word lackadaisical would mean a shortage of flowers.” Can you solve this word for me?
Thank you!
it said that pepsi has more lemon oil, less orange oil, and uses vanillin rather than vanilla
Thanks for the lesson
the difference.
I love their commercials.
Love it, aLx !!!
I watched quite a few of those videos from your link and they were cool. It’s too bad they ban them here for tv.
aLx, I liked the Macy Gray tune you linked “glad you’re here”. I got another one from balcony TV you might like. At least you’ll understand. Let me know if you like Catharina Boutari . Hey, which one of the guys in the Coke Commercial is you?
hey, billy,
thanks for the music clip, yeah, I do like it. girls playing the guitar always somehow remind me of melissa etheridge.
the coke commercial, lol, I was the bus driver.
plus, the girl reminded me of someone else, too. the singer of kashmir. good music. polish, though. which doesn’t really bother me. I think music is music, you get an idea of what the song is about by watching the clip.
Cute
I was having a conversation with a friend the other day and she told me that she was going to DITCH me… as in leave me. We started talking and was wondering if the word ditch (when it refers to leaving someone or skipping class) has anything to do with the word ditch (as in a canal or hole in the ground). Thanks!
She was going to ditch you, and you started talking about word origins… how cool is that
Another phrase origin put a spell on you may come in handy if you feel like you’re being ditched :-}
No offence, but I’m so used to talking to guys around here. I checked out your profile after I posted. Welcome to the zoo
BillyB how do uou check out ones profile. I know it can be done but I haven’t got that far yet.
mike,
just click on her name, this is gonna take you to her youtube channel where she got a vid which tells you to go to another youtube channel …
HI COULD YOU PLEASE TELL ME THE ORIGIN OF QUIFF
bonher
you are hot do you have a boyfriend? jake99
Sorry jake99, she has about a thousand of us and ladies too.
Add about three more zeroes to that number, Mike. That’s more like it.
subtract me.
It may not be love, but it’s close!
Every thing from soup to nuts
Where’s Hitman?
aLx wants to be eliminated.
It MUST be love.
Maybe sniperskaya could take him out. Too bad, though. I’ll miss the links, viewpoints, music, ice cream, etc. (especially the ice cream).
Yeah, Ice Cream.
That was a cool and yummy comercial Bob
Hello Marina,
How’s the the new “Penthouse” working out for you and Kobe?
Is the next word “anticipation” or “spellbound”?
You had my complete attention while I stared at my monitor so I wouldn’t miss anything.
That gave me a shamefaced laugh when it was over. Grin.
The new look that you have is great. It’s like the “Girl next door”.
The diffrence between Coke and Pepsi is that Diet Coke tastes better.
Thanks Marina
Hey Warren Here is the link to our fd web site.
LINK
It didn’t work. This will though.
http://fire.ci.fayetteville.nc.us/default.aspx
Hey thanks capman911.
I’ll take a look when I have more time.
Hey capman911, did you try to make the word LINK the link? I’ve tried that and couldn’t get it to work. I’m trying to ge a buddy to come over and show me how, but I asked him about it and he referred to it as a hyperlink. Is that what its called, Im not sure. But I do its a job in it self to drag him away from his new 24 year old babe-alious girlfriend for even 5 seconds…if im seccessful with that task I’ll let you know.
capman911,
I went to the main page and I liked the “Mission Statement”.
Station #7- I took a peak and saw that it was very comfortable looking and seemed to be in a very nice area.
You were very fortunate to be able to work 33 years in such a pleasant setting.
I imagine that all of the surrounding buildings are not more than two stories high.
I would make fighting fires a bit easier and much safer than say buildings that are 3-5 stories.
Warren when you get to look at the stations I was at station 7 when I retired. It looks just like a regular house in the neighbor hood because of the building covenance of the area. We couldn’t even put station 7 on the building. It looked like a big house with 2 bay garage that two rvs would fit in.
Hi Marina,
I’m interested in the origins of many nautical terminology words. “Port”, “starboard”, “aft”, “bow” and “stern”, in particular.
Thanks, Steve
I get to go to work today at one of my businesses because of a cocaine addiction. Simply put, I took over a guy’s clientele, because he used all his working capital buying the white product. I had hired people at my business to do the installs of tires he sold at his business. Got very nasty at the end for him, he was lucky to escape with his life although someone did die in the upstairs of his shop.
Working girls, up the street from my shop, are ravaged by their addictions & are caught in a seemingly endless cycle of pain, numbed by drugs, but it’s not endless, doesn’t usually end well either. There are some, few, stories of hope, some girls do get their lives turned around, sadly not many.
Don;t mean to be a downer today though Cocaine Cowgirl and cocaine are funky tunes with a warning. Eric clapton was fortunate to stay clean now for a good number of years & survive some hard hits in his life.
BillyB probably most of here feel the same way about cocaine or any illeagal drug. We joke about them but that doesn’t mean we do them. I know I don’t and never have and I am 54 years old. I spend 33 years in the fire service and have seen all kinds of addictions and as you stated even to where it has taken someones life. So cheer up my friend and smile at someone because a smile is like a fresh spring day. and a
to you.
Mike
You know BillyB that why Pete Townsond of the Who wrote Who Are You, he was so messed up at the time he didn’t know who he was. Thats when he cleaned up his act. The lyrics of that song tells his story.
Interesting… I’ve always been a big Eric Clapton fan, i have the 1973 recording of “Rainbow Concert” organized by Pete Townsend as a celebration of the return to performing by EC after breaking his heroin addiction. Pete & Eric with hair not unlike mine in ‘73. Ancient history to a lot of folks, but seems like yesterday to me. & you?
You hit it right on. I was just listening to Eric Clapton when he was with Cream on my Ipod when I walk this morning. It’s called the Cream of Eric Clapton. Alot of his good oldies even a few songs on it when he was the Dominoes.
Derrick & the Dominos “Layla”, my first album, wore the vinyl out, got the disk when it came out. Cream did a TV spot not long ago, hope Ginger Baker’s ok, he looked weak but still thrashed away.
BillyB,
Any addiction- except for “hotforwords” and coffee- can become a terrible situation and is regretable from all points of view.
Oh so true BillyB. Quick story: Back in my late teens a group of five people, myself included ,decided to get a big pile of the the white stuff. At the moment of truth I made the CHOICE not to partake in the “fun”. Fast forward 20 years, 4 out of 5 of those people are now gone (dead). One of which was my best friend since fourth grade. The point of my story is not to gain sympathy for the loss of some of my friends, but to merely drive home the fact that BillyB and capman911 couldn’t be anymore on point. “Cocaine Blows” is a true statement, and at the same, extremely understated…and on that note, have a great day everyone!
I am glad you made the right choice back then Pagedoll
Yes Ma-am thats what I tried was the link thingy. I practiced on the practice page and it worked. But I can’t figure out what I did wrong. Thanks for any help.
Hey pagedoll, I read your post from work today when I went to vote for the 7milliondollarman. Thanks for the reply, you know looking back on stuff & the way things happen is an advantage of being , or getting older. Your post moved me today & I’m glad for your reply & story. I haven’t always made good choices in my life & there are scars & regrets, but Lord willing I’ll wake up again tomorrow & make good & bad choises all over again, I feel blessed by you & others that post heres’ comments & chatter.
This weekend is big & tough for me, my daughter is getting married.
She has been away for two years now but it’ll still be different knowing she’s not mine anymore (only a daddy of a little girl would understand that). She came to visit last weekend & when I dropped her off at the ferry to go home, (I Iive on an island) I had trouble driving home, trying to see through the tears. I’m so blessed, the guy she is marrying is a great guy & she has loved him since high scool although they lived in different cities. I don’t deserve it but I got three great kids & my wife tolerates me \o/ & I love her for that. Should be a more than interesting weekend coming up, all the weird relatives & such + me. Cheers
If anyone is tempted to think that drugs are a good idea, take a look at this.
Went on a date once & the girl had to make a quick stop at her “Grandma’s” house; turns-out it was this little old lady who sold crystal meth & everyone called her Grandma–couldn’t believe it
nice little antiqued lving room etc.–she even wanted to know if I wanted some hot tea 
Wonder what ever happened to that girl, actually, no I don’t…
Shocking
………
Yes you are right drugs are a bad idea, but I hope that you are prepared to include three of the most addictive in your list, alcohol cigarettes and coffee.
Let’s face it we are all drug addicts of some kind.
Which drug damages more lives than all the others put together.
Yes alcohol. This can’t be denied.( many because it is so widespread and socially acceptable.)
Being legal doesn’t make it OK
)
Making it illegal doesn’t necessarily (but usually) mean it is bad.
I had a spell at school 35 years ago and believe the my small dabble made me a far better person.
Coke is definately bad. It destroys lives. Some addictions are too extreme to control. Coke is definately one (got me too Cola drunk
Can’t smoke Coke man. Goes all sticky and soggy man.
Nothing wrong with God’s green
Drugs are bad, Hm’kay?
” It’s all just mental masturbation… ” Any Sammy Hagar fans out there?
Yea when he was with VanHalen. He rocked then. I don’t know about now.
Lived across the street from David Lee Roth for 8 years–mostly really quiet.
BillyB,
Congratulations to you and your family.
You are blessed so be proud- not sad.
You’re not losing your daughter- you’re gaining a son.
i’m sad & happy at the same time, tough emotion to understand, I’ll just enjoy it & savor it, before I try and understand it.
I know how you feel on the daughter issue. Mine just married on May 17th to a great guy. Now I have two sons.
Man was it costly but worth every penny of it just to see them so happy together. 
Mike
Congratulations C911… you understand how I feel right now :-}
Do you know why he wrote lala. He was in love with I think it was Ring Starrs wife at the time. They never got together but thats what my wife told me about the lyrics of the song.

Very interesting.
I don´t know what is the difference,but I hear a lot of myths about cola beverages. Some people use coke to clean coins, to put in their tires like armorol, other use to tang and other use coke like stomach remedy. great video
Alidor
It’s the same as using warm sugar water to put on your tires. The sugar will make them shine and be darker. We did this on our firetruck’s tires when it was inspection time. It works great. Cheaper that armoral.
You can also pour coke on a coroded car battery terminal post and it will eat away the corosion. Many uses for coke besides just drinking it.
It’s the phosphoric acid in Coke that makes metal shine
I wonder what else we can think of that coke is good for or helpful in our daily lives
Great to give other people’s kids at bed time to watch a parent suffer !
(First time my Russian stepson had Coke it made him run around like a headless chicken. Also had to call the doctor out from excess Co2)
The bottle makes a good paperweight
The cap makes good segs to stop wearing your shoes
Some third world countries “recycle” the bottles as construction material. For example you can cut the bottom part and use it as a tile, it makes a great floor!
Great video. I gave you five stars as usual. I like the new camera we can see more of you. Can’t wait for the blue screen should add alot more versitility to your videos. Your hair looks really nice today.
Only 5 ?
I gave it 10 stars (voted twice)
Hey, 2hfwfc where’s the little rugrat at today. I miss his witty humor
I’m here is you are referring to me cheeky
What are segs?
The way I are.
I well said that wrong. What I meant to say is “I’m here ! Are you referring to me cheeky ?”
Yea hey little buddy. Been out dancing lately? I just missed your comments today. Nothing much to laugh at when you’r not around.
Segs were very popular in the 70’s for protecting the soles of your feet from wear. They were metal plates that had spikes as many as 10 depending on the size. The spikes stick in the heel and soles so that you made a clicking sound as you walked (like a tap dancer) . Would you believe that it was a butch thing to ,make you look “hard”.
Nowadays we use Viagra eye drops to make you look hard
Thanks for the compliments capman911
Yes Markie (2HFWFC) took me for a spin in his pocket again.
I need a coke to recover.
No you can bugger off Tig I am not filling your bottle with Coca Cola.
Hey Spudgun911 I know how you feel.
Word Lover was there one day and just vanished off the scene.
I don’t know who he or she is and quite frankly I don’t bloody care, but he/she had me in stitches and I miss him/her incredibly .
I get the odd snippet of similar style and quality humour from you and some others but for humour but no one could beat Word Lover.
The “accident” comment had me standing up for a week because I laughed my arse off !!!
I’m not going dancing with you tomorrow night then Markie 2FHWFC
Anyway going back to Viagra don’t the give it the the men in old people’s homes to stop them rolling out of bed ?
A five star performance, the new look is great, hope to soon
get a video tour of your new apt.
I agree, but er… scrub “video” from the above statement.
“video” doesn’t appear in “above statement”
No “d” or “i”
I disagree like it or not I believe that “video” is the most appropriate word by definition for the video stream.
Video don’t just come in VHS and Betamax , they come as games, on silverscreens, DVD video, MP4 video, I pod video, Quicktime video, Flash video etc.
Video is the visual version of audio.
Well, I know both are bad for your health, particularly your teeth…
Well, in my personal and modest opinion,
i think that the most remarkable and important difference between Coca-Cola and Pepsi is that the former was originally invented in order to cure headache while the latter was invented to cure stomach-ache,indigestion and precisely,disPEPSIa…….,
There is no difference Between Coke And Pepsi. it is all on your head, when people see the logo of Coka-cola they think it taste better.

Has anyone else noticed a trend developing in the daily quotations?
I wonder if Marina’s book is due for imminent publication.
I don’t mean this in a rude way but-
whatever she’s selling I’m buying it.
I’m hook, line and sinker as far she’s concerned.
I hope she puts out a childrens book so I can read one too.
How about Hansel and Grettal. Then we could eat their house.
I’ll go for the Grettal’s bush
