Handicap (is it a bad word?)
Hey guys and gals 
This is where the Handicap discussion is happening. So make your comments here.
IS HANDICAP A BAD WORD WHEN REFERRING TO SOMEONE WITH DISABILITIES? AND IS THE WORD “DISABLED” BAD AS WELL?
This video is interactive.. you need to watch it on YouTube to be able to use the interactive features. Or you can see the 3 possible answers here.
Also, take a look at the coComment widget to see conversations I am having on this topic on other websites as well, and feel free to follow me and comment there as well. My page that lists all my comments everywhere is here.
After having my right hand amputated in 1987 I have had this question asked of me personally. I prefer Disabled myself, I find Handicap lumps all disabilities into one term. Again, it’s my opinion and that’s all. Ask anyone that has a disability and you will get a different answer.
Finally had to sign up to the site just to comment. Don’t know why I did not do it earlier.
Thanks Marina, never stop.
If handicap in sport means evening the playing field, thus allowing the less skilled to compete with the more skilled, then calling someone handicapped should reflect a positive attitude showing an acceptance of the disadvantage and a willingness even the play.
My sister is called handicapped, she was born in the 6th month of pregnancy.
Nice video.

So Handicap a bad word or not? I think it is, if refering to people with disabilities. Okay for sport.
I spent best part of six months in a spinal injuries unit when I was twenty years old. Even the word Disabled was frowned upon. All prefered to say Unabled Bodied Person.
Ever since I note how difficult it must be for unabled bodied persons to use wheel chairs around town. Wheely have a long way to go before all is equal
Those who are able to rise up and live life in spite of handicaps are to be applauded! It upsets me when they are discriminated against, but the word itself seems appropriate.
As a person with a birth defect who is in a wheelchair, I find the word “handicapped” to not be offensive. I prefer to call myself “unique” because there are no two people born with what I have that are EXACTLY the same. I do, however, find the word “crippled” offensive. When a person talks about another person and says “oh yeah, I know that crippled boy” I picture someone whos hands and arms are bent so they can’t do ANYTHING with them. I have FULL use of my arms and hands. I NEED them to lift my 180 some pounds out of my chair and into bed and other places. ( I think I should mention that I am only about 5 foot 1 inch tall. That makes me look REAL HEFTY.) I used to like the term “differently abled” but like the word “unique” better now.
I think political correctness and the use of euphemisms commonly serve to the hypocrites. I mean, I will call anyone the way they want to be called –of course–, but I believe the form of the speech is less important than the content.
When you are respectful to a person it’s great if you try to choose your words carefully, but it’s terrible and manipulative if you have no respect for someone and you try to hide this fact by changing a word of two.
Great job, beautiful Marina!
I don’t think handicapped or disabled are bad words, it’s just that one is more politically correct than the other.
I did not know about this one.
Thanks, always a pleasure to watch you.
GOLLIWOGG
The “Golliwogg” (later “Golliwog”) is a rag doll-like, children’s literary character created by Florence Kate Upton in the late 19th century. The Golliwogg was inspired by a blackface minstrel doll Upton had as a child in America. At one point it was very popular in Europe and as a result has become a collector’s item. However, the image of the doll has become the subject of heated debate. One aspect of the debate in its favour argues that it should be preserved and passed on as a cherished cultural artifact and childhood tradition, while opponents argue it should be retired as a relic of an earlier time when racism against black people was blatant.
British jam manufacturer James Robertson & Sons used a golliwog called Golly as its mascot from 1910, after John Robertson apparently saw children playing with golliwog dolls in America. Robertson’s started producing promotional Golliwog badges in the 1920s, which could be obtained in exchange for tokens gained from their products. In 1983, the company’s products were boycotted by the Greater London Council as offensive, and in 1988 the character ceased to be used in television advertising. The company used to give away golliwog badges making up different sets, such as playing jazz instruments, or with sports equipment, or other such themes. The badge collection scheme was retired in 2001.
Robertson now denies any link between Golliwoggs and black people — in a statement reported by the BBC. Virginia (Ginny) C Knox, previously brand director for Robertson’s and now Chief Operating Officer of the Culinary Brands Division of RHM, told the Herald Newspaper in Scotland in 2001 that the decision to remove the Golly (Golliwogg) symbol from Robertson’s jam and marmalade jars was taken after research found that children were not familiar with the character, although it still appealed to the older generations. “We sell 45 million jars of jam and marmalade each year and they have pretty much all got Golly on them,” said Ms Knox. “We also sell 250,000 Golly badges to collectors and only get 10 letters a year from people who don’t like the Golliwogg image”. Today, Robertson’s Golliwog badges remain highly collectible, with the very rarest sometimes selling for more than £1,000, and even comparatively common and recent badges being worth £2.00–£3.00.
What is next Children can not sing ‘ barr barr black sheep ‘
There was a Pub near my town called THE GOLLYWOGG and had to change the sign…..I think its crazy……even Rupert the bear had to be White !!
Why is the term handicap used in golf?
She explains this in the video, a better player reduces his score by a certain amount to even the match.
I actually am handicapped, and that term is not offensive in the least. Disabled isn’t offensive either. I have muscular dystrophy, and I am in a wheelchair. People are too concerned with political correctness, and that offends me. I wouldn’t care if I was called crippled, handicapped, disabled, or lame. People are too afraid of offending others. Like the odious Stretch on that Maxim radio show always talks about, America is becoming pussified.
Not only are disabled and handicap bad words they are nefarious words.
I see so many people saying otherwise. Even though there is the American Disabilities Act, try and get a job with a disability. My son is disabled and he’s treated like a second class citizen. Not all but to many people look down on disabled men and women.

Another word, like handicap, that I’ve not been able to figure out why it was deemed offensive by some, is “oriental.” At some point in the last 20 years or so, “oriental” became offensive and was replaced by “Asian.”
One, I don’t see why anyone would be offended by being called an “oriental” person. Some people are called occidental people, and that doesn’t seem to be a big deal.
Two, “Asian” doesn’t seem very accurate, since it seems to only apply to some, but not all, people from Asia. For example, we never really seem to call people from Kamchatka or Krasnoyarsk “Asian” or people from Mongolia or Bangladesh, “Asian.” Should an Indian person write “Asian” or “other” on an application? What about a Turkish person, or an Israeli?
Or someone from eastern Russia, for that matter?
I didn’t watch the youtube one, but without looking it up, I would guess number 1.
I think that some people argued that handicap was offensive, and that disabled was better. Others argued that disabled was also offended, and tried to create the (in my opinion, silly) term “differently abled.” Some others tried to say that “challenged” was a less judgmental term to use. Originally, I think people used to use “crippled” for mobility handicaps, and then blind, deaf, mute/dumb for other specific handicaps.
I don’t think there has ever been a consensus on this issue, I don’t think.
In my opinion, it’s not an offensive word.
Marina, kinda nice having a lesson without panties, no?
No correct answers.

I think it really depends on the person. In fact, with some people even NOTICING they are not in perfect health is a major offense. For example, I once held the door for a guy in a wheelchair and he cussed me out for assuming he needed help.
That guy doesn’t appreciate courtesy.
Yes, although I think there was more to it than that. I think he was just bitter about his condition. He didn’t want pity. I hope I don’t offend anyone in saying this, but I really think he was a Vietnam veteran. America didn’t “support” the Vietnam veterans like we do our soldiers nowadays They returned, many of them in wheelchairs, to a country that largely hated them… so it’s no surprise some of them are bitter about someone showing “pity” by helping them.
My boyfriend of near 6 years has a genetic disorder that has him in a wheelchair at all times and he seems to prefer handicapped over disabled but both are OK. Really it’s all in how you use it. The word he finds offensive especially (and i agree) is any variation of cripple used as a description for a person. It may have an origin that wasn’t so bad then (I honestly haven’t looked into it) but now, people have used it so derogatorily that it is seen as an offense.
I have a friend that is handicap. He deals with it very well. He is always making jokes about other handicap people. I tried to act like I’m retarded and he always corrects me. He says your using the wrong hand against your chest. Its the left hand not the right hand, he says.
He says if life deals you limes then you make margaritas! OMG that still cracks me up!!! 
Anytime I have a problem he always seem to find an answer. I guess he has gotten good at it!
I am handicapped and I am scared to death of asking girls out. I am afraid that I’m not worthy because I can’t do all the physical things expected of a man, like holding doors. People need to hold doors for me. I hope I’m not being to personal, but what went through your head when your boyfriend first asked you out?
Actually, I asked him. Before he answered he had many of the same fears and wanted to have a serious talk about how he wasn’t just miraculously get better and eventually in fact would worsen but I still really liked him. Just as long as you are up front with a girl about everything the main question is like everyone elses problem of does she/he like me. If a girl sould turn you down for that reason alone then that’s a sign that she wasn,t quite as great as you thought. I’m sure many people have told you that but I hope that me speaking on the experience of the other side it helps. We have had our problems to work through but really, if you do care for someone and love them you find a way to make it work. The main problems have been is his dad and others. His dad still thinks since I’m 19 and young I’ll think he’s holding me back and just run off some day and says it’s understandable. I hate when he says that. The hardest part for me has been hearing other people say I’m dating him for pity. That sure as hell isn’t it!!! I have been taken with this guy from day 1. I don’t say this to scare you I just want to be honest. After meeting him I did some volenteering at the Illinois MDA camp and honestly, if everyone gave that camp one week of their lives this topic could never be an issue. Leaving that place was always the hardest thing one week was never enough. The only time anyone there scared me off was when they were angery or bitter about their situation. I’ve seen many of the challenges my boyfriend faces daily and he still stays so positive for the most part and just deals and finds his own way to get things done, such as you said with the door thing. Well I’m droning on and probably boring you to tears. LOL! Sorry. don’t be afraid to write back if you want, or if you have more questions.
I don’t know if it’s a bad word. But it’s handy.
I love these videos, Marina.
I do not think it is a bad word to use. Disabled sounds like one is unable to function well or is somehow inferior. I prefer handicap when referring to someone with a disability. Just my 2 pesos.
Great new interactive feature, Marina! I like that we can now choose our answer to the Guess the Word Origin game and receive the correct one right away. Siga con el buen trabajo, profesora! 
?MAESTRA?
I dont find it a bad word at all, its not an insulting word. You have to use some word for it anyway.
I don’t think handicapped is a bad word unless it is used as an insult in which case it’s not a good thing to say.
Can I ask what is the origin of the word chav.
Thanks. love the site!!
Sooooooooo love your site. How about the saying “tit for tat” I have heard it and have no idea what it means.
Hello All
Well hello to you. Why the change of name?
Just playing a poke in a pig? err, joke on a pig?
Hi everyone. Sorry I’ve been away for a week. I’m still making some minor repairs and cleaning up the boat. So let me tell you what happened.
On Monday night a low pressure system raced into the Pacific Northwest bring in winds gusting over 48 mph/77km/h. This is not normal June weather here (Today Im getting a bit of a sun burn). In fact according to the National Weather Service, the average high temperature in Seattle last week was a less-than-balmy 57.3 degrees — nearly two degrees lower than the previous record, set in 1917. That’s 10 degrees lower than the normal high for the week, 68 degrees. Read Seattle P.I. article about storms in PNW. It was colder here than in Siberia, Russia. Read Seattle Times article. At 3pm I received a small craft advisory suggesting winds up to 17 mph / 27 km/h. Thinking that this was going to be the worst of the low pressure system I went to town eat dinner. I came back 3 hours later to find the winds where gusting at 35 mph / 56 km/h. Waves where at 4 feet / 1.2 m. My vessel sits on the outside of the break water (breaks down waves) for I wanted temporary summer moorage for my new summer classes. Then move south to San Fransisco or Los Angeles, Ca for my winter classes.
Being outside of the breakwater in high winds is not a great place to park a yacht. In the first 3 hours of the storm, the dock tore a 7 foot / 2.1 m by 3 inch / 7.2 cm hole down the side of my boat. Large enough for me to place my hand inside the hull of the boat. Electrical systems where on the same side as the damage area and wire where pulled apart. all my life lines are all bent out of shape or cracked. Back say (line that holds up the mast) broke. All my new fenders (little rubber pillows that protect the boat from the dock) were torn apart. Waves started to enter the boat through the tear in the hull and she could not take anymore damage in fear that she would sink at the dock. I decided to pull the dock line off and head out to the lake (yea a little lake can be worse than open ocean) I found an empty slip in the marina that was not currently being used. It was not an easy task to park a boat between to other million dollar yachts during 48mph winds. With the help of other boaters I was able to get tied up for the night. My new friend George set me up for the night on his 55 footer / 16.75m yacht. I had a glass of wine and watch a great movie (The Blue Max)
The next few days I had a surveyor come out and look a the boat. We found a second tear in the forward part of the hull. Its about 4 feet / 1.2m long. The cost of repair out weights the cost of replacement so the boat is totaled. Insurance did not cover break water damage (they aways find a way not to pay, damn them!). I have been looking for a new sailboat to buy and now I guess I’ll have to move that schedule up. Oh and something else. Because of the recession in the US. My class numbers have been so low that I have had to cancel 2 classes.
Lesson learned here is if went out to sea (lake) I would have been just fine. I could have anchored out and gone to bed and had a great night being rocked to sleep. Its against the law here to anchor in the lake. I just love it when people with not boating experience make crappy rules. For example we have this new director of the Washington State Ferry system (The largest in the US) and he doesn’t know the difference from port side and starboard side of a boat. He was hired for that reason. The thinking that someone who knows nothing about boats could manage the countries largest ferry system better than someone who at least owns a Bayliner (Joke, Bayliner boats are like owning a Ford Pinto) Sorry for me ranting on here.
Ain’t life just grand? How could it get worse? Only if you live in Iowa right now.
I wish they all had house boats then they would be having a blast right now. 
So anywho, thats my story. Speaking of stories. I have much to read and comment here. I missed you all very much. And thank you for all your emails of your concern.
~~!~!~~____(\__
*Running to the storm* I must be nuts!
Well, sorry to hear about your boat, what a major bummer to say the least. I can’t even imagine how you felt to walk up and see two giant holes in her hull and then to be kicked while you’re down by the insurance people. Man, I feel for ya. I didn’t relalize you had a sailboat. I love sailing though I haven’t done much of it. I took a sailing class once when I was just a pup at oceanside harbor, we learned on the little lazer type boats, what a kick! I’ve also sailed to catalina a few times on a 43 ft columbia. Theres nothing like a strong wind to get that boat way over on its side and the water rushing over and across the edge! Anyways, glad to see you’re safe and sound. Question: What classifies a boat as a “small craft” and what was your boats name?…just wondering.
Oh I didn’t get woken up. I was already up. The winds started about 7 pm. I was soaked to the bone. I even was shivering cold. When my underwear gets wet then thats all i could take. I really didn’t care about the insurance company. They are all crooks, except the AMA. But my class was canceled. That really hurt! What I make in those classes and make all the headaches go away.
I’ve wanted to try a Lazer. Sounds like a sailors boat. Im still new at sailing. I’ve spent years motor boating and im starting to get used to the motor shutting off and using the sails for power. Its spooky at first, but I get used to it. My first ride in a sail boat was the Tall Ship Lady Washington. If someone that can fly bed sheets for sails and make the boat move faster with them than the engine at full power, thats got my attention!
Small craft is anything less than 65 ft / 20 meters. If its larger then its a ship. As for my boats name… Kokopelli… I didn’t name it but Kokopelli is a fertility deity, usually depicted as a humpbacked flute player (often with a huge phallus and feathers or antenna-like protrusions on his head), who has been venerated by some Native American cultures in the Southwestern United States. Like most fertility deities, Kokopelli presides over both childbirth and agriculture. He is also a trickster god and represents the spirit of music. So I kind of like the name and kept it.
My dream boat will be called “Brittle Star” I picked up a Brittle Star years ago on the Island Spirits 300 lbs anchor on morning. The tiny star fish was still alive. I showed it to a friend that was a naturalist and she said that they can survive 500 feet below the surface of the ocean. That blew me way! Little bugger live in 400 feet of water and had a long ride up the anchor and still moving. Wow! Big ocean and a little tiny boat, sounds like a good name for my future boat. What I mean tiny boat I mean 50ft or larger.
Ya Im a bit bummed out but reading your guys comments and being back on this blog really lifts my spirit.
Thanks!
Capt. J. That’s the first narrative I’ve truly read on this site. I’ve known some world class boatsmen who have lost boats from right underneath themselves, but every story is better with a couple of gashes in it. Where you going for dinner or drinks?
Ouch Jack…Ouch. Feel your pain man
We have been under the same weather but my suffering amounts to wet upholstry in the convertible & cold pool water. Hey I’m glad for your good attitude, you’re alive, with well wishers & friends. If you need help, just ask, as I know you help others who ask you.
People were praying for the weather to settle for my daughters wedding (outdoors in a beautiful garden setting), turned out the best day of the month so far.
That’s fantastric BillyB. Good weather will brighten any day. No pun intended just happyness for you and you family
Cap’n,
Ooch..sorry to hear about that!
Good luck on your next one.
By the way a lazer is a small sail boat about 14 feet used to train. I used to race them in Folsom Lake Yacht Club as a young man. They are cool and good boats but only for the weekend warrior types. glad your safe.
It seems to me that in our overly politically correct society ANY term that gains general understanding ( ie its meaning is immediately understood ) will BECOME a politically incorrect term that someone will decide they think it is offensive. SO we need a new term that can be used until someone else decides the new term is also offensive for some real or imaginary reason.
Oh, and MOST (but not all ) people to whom the term applies will be able to use it with impunity because they are refering to themselves (look to rap music if you really need an example ). And they jwill usually be the fastest to take umbrage if you use it.
The fact that what I just said doesn’t make sense does not make it wrong.
i don’t believe that words can be intrinsically bad, it depends upon whether the intent of use is harmful.
that said this was a brilliant video, HfW. your performances just keep getting better and more creative. congratulations on continually producing happy surprises!
My first choice was correct but I was so uncertain that I switched, lol. Well, maybe next time. That YouTube’s new feature’s really cool for the games now, Marina!
Kisses,
Lucas.
Dear teacher
My memory says number 3.
Wait and see.
Amicalement,
Don Felipe.
I don’t think it’s offensive, but it is a bit too general. When people use handicapped by itself, they’re usually referring to someone who’s crippled (which is easier to say, btw. ie: “Look, a cripple!” as opposed to “Look, a handicapper!” or more politically correct: “Look, a handicapped person!”). When they’re referring to someone who’s retarded (also easier to say!), they need to tack on a whole ‘nother word, which is rather inefficient: mentally handicapped. The whole political correctness mindset is stupid.
And did you get a haircut?
“Look, a dick wad!” Oh, sorry was that to un-PC of me? Maybe you prefer “shit head” instead?

By the way, Happy Father’s Day to all of you fathers out there!

From Maryland?
Not originally, only the last 27 years. They’re beginning to accept me now, I think. But the handle wasn’t already taken!
Well you have suffered long enough, so you can
call yourself a Marylander. Now grab yourself a
desk and chair as summer school is about to
start
My wifes name…Mary. I landed her 26+ years ago. Never thought, till now, to call myself Marylander… now I’m too late
Hi Marina, Happy to see ya, Are You coming by to say Happy Daddy Day to all Your Daddys?
You have like………10,000 Daddys WOW! 
Happy Father’s Day
And those of us who are not Daddies would like to be your Sugar Daddies - except you’re sweet enough already.
(Now everyone’s going to throw up all over me, so just put the $20 bills in the pot by the door, thanks.)
i’m divorced, Bob…i don’t have $20 to toss in the pot…
which is why i’ll let my kids pay for dinner tonight…
and thank you, Marina…
Yes thanks too you!
Ralph!! Oh sorry Bob. Here let me wipe that off for you. Oops now its worse. I can fix this… oh sorry again. Im such a cults. Do you have change for a Hundred?
Awe the hell with it.. Its only money.. Here buy yourself some more bird seed… 
That’s the last time I go drinking with you! Or should I say, “We gotta stop meeting like this– people will talk!” Aw crap, man! I think something’s leaking out of your pantleg.
Hi there Marina. Another top video!
Speaking as a person with a physical disability, I can say that I am not offended by either the tem disabled or handicapped. The only words that I do not like are crippled and invalid (in fact. look at the two words in that one).
Other words that I have herd to refer to people like me are differntly abled and handicappable.
How many able-bodied people does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
One.
Lightbulbs are too small to get any able-bodied couples inside.
But if you could it would be two.
I don’t believe Handicap is a “bad word,” just a socially antiquated one. It’s a broad brush term which is at best very vague when used to describe a disability one may have in social interaction.
Disabilities should be accepted as normal and expected, not as abnormal or as unusual. Human differences can be accommodated without the stigmatism that are currently assigned by words.
Human differences should be addressed in a social structure that focuses on including all people, rather than drawing lines that separate us. We can do this as a society.
I like commenting here, not watching YouTube.
Excellent observations, bobsully. I agree 100%.
I only agree 80% so I am going to need a 20% handicap.
I agree Bobsully. Many people have disabilities and not many people can see them. For example mental disabilities are a bit harder to detect.
I think even someone with great physical beauty can be a handicap. A good friend of mine almost committed suicide because she was having a hard time dealing how other women and men viewed her. She wanted to get into an accident thinking her disfigurement would make people stop taunting her and treat her as a normal person and not as a piece of meat.
My sister has wanted to get a breast reduction. Us guys might like large breast but for her its a bit of a pain for her physically. It would be nice to push a button on the keyboard and design a new look of our bodies to match our personality, wants, or needs. But until that day comes we have to live what we are given. Support each other in our disabilities and over come the problems that are associated with them. I have a friend who is partially paralyzed on his left side of his body and a lady friend that is using an electric wheel chair. Both are in the rank of Black Belts in karate and richly earned them. Have you ever had roll over your foot with a 300 lbs wheel chair pull you down and poke your eyes? I’m telling you it huts like hell. I don’t want to meet this woman in a dark alley!
I knew the answer (#3), but deliberatly shose the wong ones twice to watch all the vids!
Very nice gravatar opusrex.
I am jealious. 
Mike
Kinda like it… though I kinda feel awkward, being scolded by Ms. Marina and all haha
That’s one way to get more subscribers on HotForWords site. Close down the comments on the Utube site. I think she might be trying to tell us regulars something. Like get lost or something. You hog the whole comments section or something like that. I hope I am wrong.
capman911, I turned off the comments on YouTube so that everyone doesn’t just give away the answers.
Sorry to offend thee.
I seem to do that alot lately. I need a better chill pill.
since when is a bottle of beer a pill?…
but do chill it…
unless you are one who likes it piss-warm…
I understand you Capman. It happens. Your still a cool guy. So go take your chill pill and hurry back here.
now everyone who wants to comment will be funneled to this website.
Also those annoying haters who only tell Marina to get naked and fuck wouldn’t bother going here now would they haha
Let’s hope not. Finger crossing ceremony….
My fingers are crossed too.
Eyes dotted & tees crossed… oh & coComment gun loaded.
Bring ‘em on… education happens here.
Preach it brother Bill!
I think we all can take care of them so Marina dosen’t have to read that kind of obsentities on her site. I’m bad enough sometimes with my attitude and don’t mean to be
We all care alot for Marina and her site so we’ll police it for her. 
Also I believe the word Handicap is not appropriate to address someone who has physical disabilities. Calling them handicapped would refer to them receiving a handicap. I think that disabled is the more appropriate term.
deluca, but I’ve heard that disabled is not well received sometimes as well.
I agree that many people with disabilities of various types are sensitive about their public self-image or about the nature of their specific ailment, and this is something only they can fully understand so it requires some care and sensitivity on the part of others to respect that and refer to it according to personal preference. Even so, I find it easiest to describe my condition as “partially disabled” because that’s exactly what the government agency that rates Workers Compensation cases calls it. Presently, it seems to be the description that fits best, and requires the least clarification. But I can only speak for myself on this issue.
What disable people need to learn is to have the right attitude. Just look at Jay ($7 million guy). This man has the right attitude towards the disability. Funny guy, with a fantastic attitude. Or look at my friend Vincent. He has lost use of his whole left side of his body and has a black belt in karate and I heard he just got married. He has a great outlook with the terms. It is what it is, a description.
( Hey Vince! If your reading this and I know you are! When I do my retarded impression its the left hand is limp and drooling on the right side. So there!
Love ya man!)
which is why we hear the “challenged” PC terms…visually-challenged, physically-challenged, mentally-challenged…
me?…i’m old-fartsically-challenged…i have ol’ farts’ syndrome…
Annudermale I have CRS. Can’t Remember Sh*t.
Hello my teacher!
Just came by to tell you how I really liked this new game of yours!
And I also have a word…
Xenophobia
Where did the word Xenophobia come from?
Do you guys remember this question ?
WHO IS THE OWNER OF THE FISHES ???
Ok, ok finally i must tell you all.
Norwegian…….Why ? Hmmm, well is very simple and very difficult to explain at the same time. but the answer is it. Congratulations to who did it taking less time.
Everybody solved it and everybody found the german.
Dude, this is funny, because the Norvegian is the one with the cat. If the cat eats the fish it’s OK, the Norvegian will have just one pet then.
Yea. What he said.
BTW: Rojadirecta set me up in Japanese. I’ll try again when I’m loaded.
Pax.
Gio, I respectfully request you show us your work. Please show us how you came up with the Norwegian. I might have made a mistake in my table. I usually do.
Ok, I will show the table but I don’t imagine how to do it in this comment square
well, I will do it ok Captain Morgan.
And I want you to show me your mathematical model and variables you used to get the German anwer, thanks buddy.
Like all scientist, one much show their work in order for others to reproduce the experiment in order to make an agreement of the results to be true.
The German has the fish and drinks coffee in the green house, which is fourth house on the block.

Well if you where speaking Spanish then you might be right. But the puzzle is in English with English rules of language.
I showed my work please show yours.
Yes!!! I said the Norwegian guy! Can you belive I was right? I can’t. From my spelling to my sentence structure you’d think I’d have no chace. Although, when I was in fourth grade I was given an IQ test because I just did not want to do any school work, the results, 135. I guess smarts show themselves in many different ways.
Yes, amigo, Peishdol
that is the answer
PageDoll, And I thought I was being picked on by the school. I scored 136 and was accused of day dreaming. I was put on detentions more times than I can count. They even put me in Special Education (SpEd)( Not the kind for smart kids). My parents did not allow me to do any experiments with toy chemical kits because they thought with the toy kit I could blow up the whole house. I did get a toy electronic set. After doing all the experiments I took it apart to make new stuff and was beaten by my step mom and grounded for a month of no TV or having friends over. Yea my step mom is pure concentrated evil.
Thats cool you scored 135. I like hanging around smart people. They challenge my mind and I don’t get so bored with converstations.
You know Albert was not that great at math. Nor his sense of direction. He would often get lost trying to get home from school.
He was quoted saying, “Why try to memorize something when one can just write it down?” I think thats what he said. I wrote it down somewhere and lost the note. hehehehe

Or are you stumped by the answer: Don Corleone
A new bar joke
Two buddies, Bob and Pennsyltucky, are getting very drunk at a bar when suddenly Bob throws up all over himself.
“Oh, no… Now my wife will kill me!”
pennsyltucky says, “Don’t worry, pal. Just tuck a twenty in your breast pocket and tell your wife that someone threw up on you and gave you twenty dollars for the dry cleaning bill.”
So they stay for another couple of hours and get even drunker.
Eventually Bob stumbles home and his wife starts to give him a bad time. “You reek of alcohol and you’ve puked all over yourself! MyGod, you’re disgusting!”
Speaking very carefully so as not t O slur his words, Bob says, “Nowainaminit, I can e’splain everythin. Itsh snot wha jewthink. I only had a cupla drrrinks. But thiss other guy got ssick on me…he had one too many and he juss koudin hold hizz liquor He said hes was verrry sorry an’ gave me twennie bucks for the cleaning bill!”
His wife looks in the breast pocket and says, “But this is forty bucks..”
