marina you are just too hot for words i love my teacher i watch lessons every day or in my case every morning when i cant sleep i watch.i watch every chance i get i love to learn i would like to hear any mexican to english words
hello received your message and clear that always vote because of you, you are my teacher and one of the best I always will be your student.
I love your classes and by God if you once beautiful even my good teacher you command many kisses, and if I come late and I das an arrest does not matter as long as these ahi to punish me much better prefer your punishment my teacher, and kisses cuidate.
Well done, I had to find the old German one first , made me sweat at this one. I saw it before but wasn´t sure about it, thought you made a writing mistake.
People say hot or cute because their perspicacity is such that words like gorgeous or beautiful are too much for them.
I can see why hot would be akin to clothing in most women’s eyes, as a handsome man to them is the same thing as a nice pair of shoes. Many women’s favorite accessory is called ‘the boyfriend’, a title I never use because I know better. Oh ya, and I’m hott (majorly and mega, I’ve been told), and I know how to work it. Some women will do anything for a nice pair of shoes…
Didn’t you do a video on the word “pulchritudinous?” That means “hot,” doesn’t it?
And, I think prospero811 is a synonym for “hot” too – which is clearly why Marina chose to make me her Pet on the video for “hot.” It’s obvious, isn’t it? She thinks I’m “hot,” and the rest of you are “not.”
I knew it was only a matter of time before Marina recognized my genius intelligence and my rapier-like wit, as well as my devastating good looks, and my god-like physique (even though she’s never seen me, I am sure she can sense these qualities). By choosing me as Teachers Pet, Marina proves once again that she is as kind, generous, smart, and educated as she is incredibly beautiful and alluring.
Much appreciated. Thank you to all my fans, and all their support over the last several months.
I am really thrilled that Marina finally decided to Pet me…. err… I mean… make me Teacher’s Pet. It’s a great honor, and proves that I am awesome and the rest of you can just wait in line behind me! Bam!

Never trust anyone over thirty?
Actually I ammended that for me when I got to 30…40…working on a new ammendment for 50 “Never trust anyone with more answers than questions.”
You asked, and hey, my nipple comment… that was a damn good point. answer that one. ….. this is so cute. Your knowledge of anatomy is stellar.
We all start female then change to male in the uterus. Like buying a car, It’s the extras that make the difference.
Look up hermaphrodite , scary shit
I’m not sure if anything is getting through. It’s as if no matter how many times one says it, some people will not understand that the “origin of life” is not the same thing as “evolution of life.” We really don’t know how life came from non-life, yet. The key word being “yet.”
One thing is for sure, though, nobody is saying that “life” springs out of “nothing” like in the vacuum of a light bulb. So, roadrunmch keeps asking, “can you create life in a light bulb,” and my only answer to that is “no, of course not. Whoever said you could? Certainly not the theory of evolution.” But, his argument is “if you can’t show me how life is created in a light bulb, then evolution is bunk.” I’m not sure how that can make sense to anyone, though, since evolution is not premised on life being created in vacuums of any kind, let alone light bulbs.
Am I missing something? I thought DonExodus and AronRa’s videos on youtube do a pretty darn good job (better than me, for sure) at explaining the science involved and using non-jargon terms.
Note, also, Thunderf00t’s series “Why do people laugh at creationists?” The title is inflammatory, but his debunking of creationist arguments is excellent.
Ok when I first clicked on it there was a picture of your gravatar on her big chest. The next time I clicked on the site the shirt had changed. Sorry to have alarmed you.
I’m not getting any cohesive response from roadrunrmch. He continues to claim, after I point out to the contrary and link to explanatory material that backs me up, that scientists think life just “popped” into existence out of nowhere (like in a light bulb).
Here’s a pretty good non-jargon video on the origin of life. I posted it in a reply to roadrunnr somewhere else, but thought you might like it: The Origin of Life Made Easy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozbFerzjkz4&feature =related
Clearly, the only ones claiming that life just “poofed” into existence are creationists, who claim that god used his supernatural power to do the poofing (in some undetectable way). Science does not claim that anything just poofed or popped into existence.
yea, i agree. as always you respond in a very constructive manner. the links are also very well selected but i don’t think anything gets through his mental filter. i like discussing evolution but the debate between evolution and creationism gets old fast. and i don’t have the time.
i’ve just started summer classes and am getting really busy, medical terminology, physiology, developmental psychology, and physics. ugh. by the way, if you don’t mind, what is your background and what the hell do you do? you know enough to be a real pain in the ass.
Hi guys, I’m still arguing with RRR in the “Hara-kiri” thread.
RRR: “In a last effort to end this let me just make one concession, God started and evolution took over.”
So the question is no more evolution but the initial spark the “anomaly” geting something from “nothing” (no place no time).
micheldiego – I figured that’s where we were headed. If God started it and evolution took over, then I guess we’re in agreement that evolution happens. Game – set – match.
Now, if we want to talk about theories on the origin of the universe, I already responded to that portion by posting some well constructed summary videos that discuss the matter. I’m not going to spend more time organizing thoughts while my posts go ignored by the guy who asked the questions and wanted to “swim in the deep end of the pool.”
Suffice to say that roadrunr is arguing the “god of the gaps.” And, I have no answer for that, scientifically. My only answer to the god of the gaps (god exists where there are gaps in scientific explanations), is that there has been a long progression of filling in gaps and god never seems to be there. 10,000 years ago, God was in the wind and the rain, the sun and the moon, the clouds, the volcanoes the earthquakes and the tidal waves. He was in the ocean and meteors and comets, etc. etc. Over time, man found out how these things worked, and we were able to let go of sun gods and wind gods and rock gods and volcano gods. When planets were first discovered, we thought that god held them in place – we know better now. More and more the gaps become fewer and fewer,and there is never a need for god to cause the happenings.
We’re down really to two main gaps: (1) the initial “origin” of the universe (if indeed it had one), and (2) the initial “spark” of life on Earth. Those are basically just two mysterious volcano gods, and one day we will know how those volcanoes really work.
In any case, let’s take the second gap – the spark of life. We now know that there are thousands of other planets in the universe, and probably millions of billions of them in all likelihood. If life could arise on another planet, will god have to point his finger and cast supernatural powers to make self replicating materials? Or, is there a natural explanation for how self-replicating materials may form under the right conditions? If you were a betting person, what would you think is the likely outcome of our explorations in that regard? God sprinkles “life force” onto a planet, or there are reactions that can take place where nucleotides will combine and form self-replicating compounds which will evolve from there?
I guess there will always be a gap in our knowledge, and god can live there. But if there is a god, he will not punish scientific inquiry, and he will not require you or me to believe things because they are written in an old book, or because our parents told us it was so. That’s just my humble opinion.
I have always liked the phrase “smoking hot” which makes perfect sense because most things that are very hot tend to smoke as well. I have never seen you smoking yet but you are definitely “smoking hot”.
Dear Teacher:
This time i don’t wanna request a word. As you’ve been saying that you love to play GTA IV. I wanna ask you: How do you pronounce GRAND THEFT AUTO 4 in russian???
say it not so , Withdrawals , shakes, Teach BZW’s Started a very controversial theory of the Eye. Are you up to something like this. A little out of your expertise. You have a mind and can use it well. ie, The Eye, Did it evolve or was it created. A little deep but I believe you are up to it……ru?
Did you say Buzzword started a very controversial theory? That’s a riot. But before you embarrass yourself engaging our busy teacher, get out your fifth grade biology textbook, or steal one from a 10 year-old. Read about light-sensing cells in earthworms. Do the planaria exercise on page 220. It’s “A little deep but I believe you are up to it…” This time don’t just copy your neighbors’ answers. Maybe you’ll learn something, unless eyes are just a theory and yours haven’t been created yet…
Roadrunmch, I wanted to give you a couple of other good summations for you. Here’s one that answers one of your propositions (why can’t life form in a light bulb?). This video starts with a similar proposition about a jar of peanut butter. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_RXX7pntr8
The video also addresses your concern about things popping into existence like eyes and hands (the video uses an image of a cell to a brain just happening), and explains how it doesn’t “just happen.” Hopefully this will help clear it up.
The genographic project is amazing. Lots of scientific proof for man’s distant history. It’s only dealing with human migrations on the scale of hundreds of thousands of years, but it is illustrative of where science has come in this area.
I want to thank the Academy and all of the little people who have supported me throughout these many months on my trek to become the Teachers Pet. Most importantly, I’d like to thank Marina, who saw the potential in me to be a fine Teachers Pet. I am very grateful to her for her confidence and trust that I am worthy of this wonderful honor.
Keep the faith, everyone, and you too can reach the pinnacle of recognition and have your name pass gently over the soft, pouty, bee-stung lips of our lovely, talented, and eminently trusty, teacher (the aptly names, Hot for Words).
Good point, but be that as it may, your tenure as TP seems to have extended for quite a while now, so perhaps you’ll consider that a sufficient, uh, bonus, shall we say. Regardless, I still offer congratulations and readily acknowledge your contributions to the site as substantial and relevant. Thanks for interceding in the latest debate, especially.
PP811,
If you want to believe that a skin cell was able to evolve into to the eye,Great.
But why is that so easy to buy, But a god is stupid? It is just that, a skin cell can but a god can not, seems so ridiculous.
1. It’s not a question of “wanting” to “believe” anything at all. It has to do with looking at the observations, testing and evidence, reading the explanations and conclusions, and accepting it as good science. That’s all. Understand the difference?
2. It’s most certainly NOT anything at all to do with believing, concluding, theorizing or even hypothesizing that a skin cell was able to evolve into the eye. Nobody thinks that’s the case. Nobody. At all. Ever.
3. None of this is “easy.” Physics, Calculus, Differential Equations, Chemistry, Thermodynamics and other such subjects were not “easy” and neither is evolutionary biology. But, it is understandable, and nobody is making shit up to trick you into believing it.
4. None of this is something you should “buy.” Skepticism is great. Heck, dispute Einstein’s theory of universal gravitation, the theories of plate tectonics, and any other theory you want question. However, when you do so you shouldn’t say things like “if you want to believe skin cell was able to evolve into an eye.” Why? Because that’s about as incisive a challenge to evolutionary theory as saying “if you want to believe that planets reach out invisible arms to grab onto other things and pull them in towards them….” That statement about gravity has as much to do with gravitational theory as your statement about skin to eyes has to do with evolution.
5. This has nothing to do with whether there is a God. Biological evolution does NOT say, theorize or require that there not be a god, or gods. There are plenty of god-believers that also accept evolution, including MOST Christians. The Catholic church officially accepted evolutionary science a long time ago, and over 50% of all Christians are Catholic. Most protestant denominations do not require one, either as an avoidance of sin or an acceptance of dogma, to reject the theory of evolution – the one I was born into doesn’t require rejection of evolution (Lutheran), I know Unitarians don’t have to, Anglicans (Church of England) don’t have to reject it (and most don’t), Methodists allow one resort to one’s own conscience in interpretation of Genesis.
So, this is not a battle between evolution and god unless YOU make it one. I will tell you flat out right now that the theory of evolution, again, does not dismiss god, does not pretend to theorize about his existence or nonexistence, and is ONLY in conflict with SOME concepts of god.
6. The theory of evolution does not require a belief that god, if he exists, is stupid. A god that could create planets, galaxies, warped space-time, elements and nuclear reactions (like the billions of years processes inside of stars), chemicals and chemical reactions/processes, and a process by which life may change and adapt over time would not be a “stupid” god.
7. Lastly – “seems so ridiculous” that god can’t. You’ve presented a false choice. Nobody said god can’t make things evolve. He didn’t, though, as far as everything that’s been studied make a process by which skin cells evolved into eyes. Even if their is no God, skin cells did not evolve into eyes. Things have evolved, though, and there is so much proof of that that it is as certain to be essentially correct as is Einstein’s theory of relativity. Thus, there are two choices. A- there is no god or gods and the process came about naturally, or B- there is a god or gods and he/they created that process. Either way, the process remains the same.
err… I mean – roadrunmch….not buzz… I’m used to arguing with buzz… ha!
Look, roadrunmch, a question that I have for you is why don’t you learn something about evolution before you dismiss it?
I mean, you would KNOW that skin cells are not thought to evolve into eyes, and you would KNOW the explanation?
I am not saying you have no right to question the theory, but isn’t it important to you to challenge the actual theory, and not some other theory?
If I was to say to you that Christianity is false, you might say to me – “hey, Prose Perro, what’s your basis for saying it’s false?” And, then if I said to you, “Well, if you want to believe that Jesus was a warrior king who liberated the Israelites from their Roman oppressors…..” that’s fine, but it seems ridiculous to me….. what would you do?
You’d say, “Prose Perro! Do you even KNOW what Christianity is? Have you even bothered to read the New Testament? Christianity never says that Jesus was a warrior king or that he freed the Israelites from Roman oppressors!”
And, wouldn’t I have done NOTHING to dispute Christianity with that argument? Well, that is PRECISELY what you did with your “eyes evolve from skin cells” statement.
Teacher.
I read your post below and I would like you to keep in mind one thing. The Jackals on Utube like nothing more then to tear People down. Build them up and then Gang Bang, Tear them to pieces like Perona.
Let them come here and try it . Like errin we’ll send them home with their Head stuffed up their ass.
It certainly would assist with the spelling since it’s algorithms are sophisticated enough to have rules dealing with that and to offer suggestions on synonyms.
How much that qualifies as intelligent is depends on how broadly you define it since it’s limited in it’s interactions
I’m interested adquiring “Whitesmoke” software because as you can see, my vocabulary is short and I have a lot of problems with redaction and Gramatical building. Don’t ya konw if there’s a trial version of it ???
I guess it depends on how broadly you define artificial intelligence. Behaviorists would probably give it high marks but it wouldn’t pass the Turing Test
so, if a dragon smokes a cigarette, is a dragon takin’ a drag on a cig?
and if it’s a mariuwanna? cig, would the dragon bogart? would u tell ‘im if he did? you might get him all fired up, ya know…
lastly, if a dragon taking a drag on a cig enjoys dressing in a female dragon’s clothing, does that make him a dragon drag queen taking a drag on a cig? Or a dragon dragon queen taking a drag on cig?
Okay, this has dragged on one dragon joke too long…
dragon
c.1220, from O.Fr. dragon, from L. draconem (nom. draco) “serpent, dragon,” from Gk. drakon (gen. drakontos) “serpent, seafish,” from drak-, strong aorist stem of derkesthai “to see clearly.” But perhaps the lit. sense is “the one with the (deadly) glance.” The young are dragonets (14c.). Obsolete drake “dragon” is an older borrowing of the same word. Used in the Bible to translate Heb. tannin “a great sea-monster,” and tan, a desert mammal now believed to be the jackal. Dragonfly is from 1626.
Hello My Dear Teacher Marina,
I am sorry for posting a response to your questions on YT here
regarding the spelling of hot in German, “Heiß”. I don’t have a YT
account yet, and there is someone over there who is hogging every
imaginable user name not taken. Grrrrr.
First, your spelling of hot in German, “heisz” is correct, with the
exception that it should have been capitalized. For you Germans
(I am one) who just had a heart attack, calm down. I can’t go into
a long dissertation due to the format, but will make two points that
indicate that Marina is correct in her writing it the way it was.
In German, the double “ss” is replaced by a letter called “es zet”,
whose symbol is “ß”. According to the new rules, “Heiß” would have
been correct, but had you written it “Heiss”, as many YT comments suggested, then that would not be correct, unless you were Swiss
German.
So, Marina, you were correct writing it “heisz” on two counts.
(except for the capitalization)
1. Your OED showed it as “heisz” which is the Old German way
of spelling it. So, historically, you are correct.
2. It is assumed, and by edict, it is said that if one cannot write the
special symbol “ß”, then one would use the double “ss”. But, that
would violate the rules. Therfore, many people use the literal
sound of the symbol “ß”, as “es zet” which would be written as “sz”,
meaning “ß”.
As an aside, Poland and Hungary are two countries that use the
letters “sz” in their language.
On the Mac, you would use Option+s to create the “ß”, but that
may or may not be true, depending on the software.
The debate and controversy regarding the letter “ß” will continue in
Germany and there is a ton more interesting things to be said about it.
Here are two links.
Hello Marina,
Now that prospero811 has had his day I would like to vote for:
annudermale, pennsyltucky9 and Bob
as one of your next “Teacher’s Pet”.
They have shown intelligence and wit in many ways that seems to flow naturally instead of reading/copying from a book.
The way that they get their point across is very exact and intuitive all the while showing a depth that is admirable.
Thank you.
Oh, and of course thank you for another excellent show.
Thank you for your vote, Warren, but I’m quite happy to let everyone else jump the queue, in the belief that Marina is saving the best till last.
Anyway, since she named the Crane after me, I regard myself as Teacher’s Pet for Life.
I can see it now, Bob. Long after we’re dead, you’ll receive your teacher’s pet award posthumously as little old wizened Marina delivers her final vid from her deathbed at age 151 or so….
You can’t vote for teachers pet…not earned, except for being signed up. Bob’s comming up soon, I’m sure. I’m just curious as to which name he will have?
Hmmm. It was never a race for me, nudder, I’m just here to have fun crackin’ wise. Sometimes I slip up and say something intelligent by mistake. But on another note, if you look over toward the south end of the trough there’s some lovely slop over there for ya.
Hot – there used to be a lot of feline-type synonyms for this e.g. slinky, and some others I don’t recall. How far back goes one trace the implicit identification of female sexuality with cats – I imagine it goes back to Ancient Egypt or Babylon. Dogs on the other hand (although we love them) are definItily not sexy and are synonyms for ugliness. There is an underlying assumption that dogs have ‘male’ virtues – or at least those that women would like men to have(steadfast, brave, loyal) whilst cats have ‘female’ qualities – the qualities that men find attractive in women on first meeting – elegance, intuition, curiousity, caprice (that would be a good word to do), self-regard, enigmatic eyes, the sense of being on a different plane. What is so nice in Russian women is that this female tradition has been kept alive, whereas in much of the West it has been lost.
Thank you for your considered comment. I happen to be a Russian myself. Are you saying that I cannot make a (friendly) generalisation about women in my own culture without being accused of ’stereotyping women of various cultures’. Secondly you seem to assume that culture and ethnicity are the same thing. Russia, like France or Germany, is a nation/culture about which some generalisations can be made, although we should always be careful. You can see differences between the behaviour of men and women in Russia as opposed to Austria as opposed to Greece and so on. This is nothing to do with ethnicity – my generalisation would apply to Russian regardless of their ethnicity, as it would be a product of their upbringing and cultural heritage.
This is nothing like making generalisations about asian or black women – there is no single asian or black culture, and so any such generalisation would be about ethnicity not culture.
Your wish is my command, Buzz, and as I’m married to an Asian woman (Thai) I feel qualified to comment.
I don’t like stereotyping of anyone any more than you, but I do know what leonidas1111 means. Asian women, in my experience, are mostly of small or petite stature, have soft voices and gentle dispositions and a tradition of acting in a subservient manner, since that is generally what their male dominant societies require. These are the qualities that western women, in their quest for “equality”, have abandoned, in the belief that they are demeaning, and the qualities that western men, not finding them at home, find so attractive in oriental women.
Note that Thai women, at least those living in the large cities and with a modern education, have all the equality of opportunity that western women enjoy, but they are intelligent enough to know what men like and to pander to them.
ethnicity is an identification with an ethnic group and exclusion from certain other groups because of the affiliation. now an ethnic group is distinguished by cultural similarities and differences. members of an ethnic group share beliefs, values, habits, customs, and norms, and a common language, religion, history and kinship. culture is a difficult term to define as it describes all that is human. at its most basic culture is the traditions and customs that govern behavior and beliefs. stereotypes are the fixed ideas about what the members of a group are like. so, yes you were stereotyping russian women, and yes you may continue to stereotype russian women and all other women. but as an obnoxious smart ass i was expressing my lack of enthusiasm for stereotyping as it rarely achieves any deep understanding of a person or their culture, ethnicity, etc… however i do question how specific the qualities of self-regard, enigmatic eyes and the sense of being on a different plane are to russian women alone. what the hell does a sense of being on a different plane mean? having traveled a good bit i can say that individual differences exceed the descriptions provided by the stereotypes of various cultures and ethnic groups. i could take 100 women from various cultures and group them together again using different characteristics that would relate them all into another group. and i could then stereotype that group as well. not saying stereotyping is wrong just saying it’s just a tired means of generalizing a people to a few simple characteristics that are often found throughout human culture. woo hoo.
@ Bob, I don’t minded equality. I just don’t like the women that are brain washed by commercials thinking they need this and that to be truly happy. This is one reason I don’t like to date women from the US.
I was wondering what the word cup means. There are many synonymes of cup. you can
drink coffee from a cup and I also know that there is world cups. You now – sports events.
There is also bra cups. I acctually choosed to ask you about the word cup when I saw your beautiful torso. Don´t take me for a pervert now. I just think you are a beautiful women and your breasts are one of the thinks that makes you wonderful

I disagree about the assessment of “hot” referring to looks. I believe that this use of “hot” refers to sexual attractiveness or being fertile. I think it refers to being “in heat”, when a female is the most fertile and invites sexual advances.
levocombi, and the term “being in heat” refers to the temperature of the genitals of the animal that is in heat? Are they hotter when the animal is “in heat”?
Tempareture is not mentioned as a characteristic of a cat or dog in heat in the following two webites (assuming I can insert them correctly). The characteristics are behaviorial.
Wearing attractive clothing seems analogous to an animal in heat trying to attact a mate. Could not “hot” in the sense of attractive be related entymologically to “in heat?”
Marina, am I dumb or just lost? Don’t be honest, ok be somewhat honest. Are some of the maxim radio shows miising? ie 2-4…
Oh & how about “Viral” as in exteme heat.
estrus is, of course, the formal term for a female animal “in heat”…according to sources, it is from the Latin oestrus, meaning “frenzy, gadfly” and from Greek oistros
so perhaps being “in heat” came about from the frenzied actions of the female leading up to, and perhaps during, mating?…
not being female, i can’t vouch for any frenzied activity, but i’m pretty sure i’d be willing to unfrenzy a few…
(okay, we all know human females have menstrual cycles that have replaced estrus, but, hey, that was the best shot i had to poke a lil’ fun Marina’s way today…)…
“Heat” relates directly to “excitement” on a molecular level. Similarly, animals in heat (estrus) tend to generate excitement in the form of heightened social or sexual activity levels as well. Amazing how the terminology we used to refer to heightened social or sexual activity since the days well before molecular physics were precisely understood ended up as a parallel to the physical properties of molecules. Wild, huh? Now how do you suppose we intuited that connection?
Anuddermale, unlike other primate females, human females don’t have what is referred to as an estrus cycle. They just have a menstrual cycle, and sometimes a stationary bicycle.
In it you suggested the word ‘peak oil’ does not describe the problem. I agree.
Do you have any suggestions for a more descriptive short term? If so, please let me know. We are going to run a contest to find a better term. Want to help?
“Peak Oil” conjures up an image of a type of oil… not that the oil supply has peaked and is now on the down-slide as far as supplies are concerned. You need something more dramatic… like “Zero Oil”.. that may not even be good… as in order to shock people, you need to relate it to something that affects them directly… and people don’t really use oil directly ($100/barrel oil means nothing to the average consumer – as they will have to do complex computations to determine how much that translates to a gallon of gas at the pump)…. perhaps “$100/gal Gas”…. something in that direction.
You’re right, Marina, most people will do anything to avoid thinking; you need to hit them with something that causes an emotional reaction. I’m sure Capt.Jack will confirm that that is the best way to sell anything, goods or ideas.
BTW, isn’t it about time you let prospero811 out of the dungeon?
I thought peak oil was a production thing, something like maximum current levels of production…the good news is that China has just raised their national price at the pump (they control it not the market) so there should be an easing of gas prices world-wide. I don’t think that peak (here) refers to a summit (up one side & down the other)
Girls
100 years ago, No one had any idea that oil would be so critical to the World. Like today, There is something right under our nose. We just need to have the need to see it. Really need it.
Oil is a easy fix and profitable. Until
it is neither, We will not see the alternative.
And until then we will pay, We Will Pay.
Empty tank time, perhaps. Dry well syndrome. It’s oil over, or Oil Gone. Post-Petroleum or simply Post-Petrol. Last Gas. Or how about “past gas?” Okay, that’s kind of a stinker. Hey! Who’s laughing?
shocking is right, most people never knew oil would be such an economic god—this population bomb is all about oil and its many uses—peak oil spells fear —the money gods, pretty hot stuff
I would like to know the origin of the word fanny. In the UK it means something different to what it means in the USA.And where did it originate? Also, how did this girls name become a derogatory (or how ever its spelt) word?
Please investigate the name of a fried bread usually served with fish, but called “Hush Puppies”. Does it involve the shoe brand? Were puppies actually involved???
Congratulations Eric, aka prospero811! The student body was here, but you weren’t. After yesterdays blogging with that (ATTN: Miss HFW on the next word) whippersnapper, yes, you deserve a day off. You might have to wait until next week to get teachers’ pet again, or until a new Hummer 1 gets $10,000 over MSRP, or somewhere in between.:rool: Now for my homework: awesome, baby, baby-doll, Barbie, creme-puff, doll, fine, honey, hottie, Miss Universe, it, princess, 10, Smokin, sexy, sugar, Wow, Zowie-Wowie.
can anyone tell me where did words “count” and “earl”(nobility rank) come from? And why Brits use only “earl” meanwhile for other countries is used “count”?
thanks for all answers
jesus are you mocking me….that’s A NICKNAME…no I am not in any secret service
Since I’m repeating this for second time, I’d really like to know origin of word “nickname”. Thanks to anyone who would make such effort, answering this inquiry.
Perhaps the word “country” is also derived from “count” or vice-versa. Think of all the other words that relate to this root in some form or other, accountant, counting-house, no-account, encounter, countertop, counterproductive, miscount, discount, Viscount, etc.
Well I would like you to do a video about the word “fuck”. I don’t want you to think that this is offensive but I’m curious about the origin. Well it can be used as adverb, adjective, noun etc. and it has lots of meanings. How can a word describe hate and love? Plager and pain? So will you acept my chalenge?
She gets asked to do fuck everytime someone new comes from youtube.
Like fuck is the most exhilerating and Taboo word they can come up with.
Maybe next she could do poop, or fart and BA BA Louie
Okay, I’ll repeat this once more, slowly. IT WAS A RADIO SHOW.
Don’t know why roadrunrnch replied to my comment, but clearly, he was addressing you, on June 21st, 2008 9:45 pm:
“She gets asked to do fuck everytime someone new comes from youtube.
Like fuck is the most exhilerating and Taboo word they can come up with.

Maybe Marina needs to post it in a more obvious way so that people will stop requesting that word.
It’s becoming a bad joke.
Maybe dictionaries should be left at every hotel, motel and toilet.
If there was a dictionary at every toilet, guess which page would be the first one called into service when the roll ran out… Right! The one with the word you are looking for on it.
BillyB.. the early Maxim shows are gone. They got lost when I moved from one server to another! That’s why I moved servers, couldn’t count on the previous host!

words for “hot-t-t-t”…
luscious, succulent, delicious, scrumptious
scrumpdidlyicious <–portmaneau word!
savory, tasty, choaby, phat,
strack, uhhh..
that made me hungry…
i would like to let u knw…im from sumwhere. so we use the word ending with “-lah” at the end of a sentence… e.g “i would wait for you-lah”
so wats the origin of this word?
Could you make a video on Neumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis its the longest word in the oxford english dictionary.. i think it would be cool if you did this one
really?…was it spelled “peumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis “?…anyway,it’s a made-up word…
‘course, all words are made up, but this one was concocted just to make it the longest word in the English language…i would say there was pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosismania…
Maliciousness is a good word for a bad thing – I know malus, mala, and malum mean bad in Latin, but how did the Latin prefix “mal” in “malus” become mal + icious to mean what it means? – Please do clarify.
I think all all your videos are fun and eventful, Marina, by the way, and of course, very hot.
Could you please give me the origin of the word ‘gay’? We were reading The Count of Monto Cristo’ in school a few weeks ago and it mentioned where several men were merry and gay. It made me begin to wonder how it went from its first meaning (happy) to its modern meaning (homosexual). Thank you.
Hey Guys anyone heard from prospero811? His big day . Maybe He has a life outside…? Too damn Hot in So Calif. 115* at my Place. Better to stay in a annoy Y’All.
Really , [ atheist miracles.] Do you really think a Woman like Marina was just cosmic dust smashing about in outer space? Or something that crawled out of a swamp 1,000,000,000 years ago? Look in to Her EYES and tell me You don’t see GOD.
well, your asking an anthropologist about evolution so… yeah, that’s what i think. but i’ll look into marina’s eyes. let’s see… holy shit, pixels! now marina isn’t just a philologist, she’s proof of the existence of god. your very talented, looking into her eyes, seeing god and kissing her ass all at the same time. the whole “the eyes are the windows of the soul” bit doesn’t really do much for me. yo, prospero811 here’s an opportunity for you to actually agree with me on something. eyes started out as light sensitive cells that over time developed into the organs we refer to as the eyes. that’s what i think. not asking you to think any differently, just commenting, because commenting is sexy… as long as it satisfies the rules of “standard english grammar” otherwise commenting is just human. which evolved from primates. i can see it in their eyes. har har!
BZW
Why no plants with eyes. Or animals with out. That never had eyes. I would keep the definition of animal to higher forms of life. Jelly fish, bi pods, etc, exempt.
Can you refer to an animal that evolved eyes.? Can you show the evolution of the eye.
I see order where there should be none. How does order come from nothing?
Have you ever heard of life forming in a light bulb. Stop laughing and think. There is a source of energy in a Vacuum and like outer space
the molecules of life. That is what you want me to except with your theory of the origin of life.
Hope you can swim, I like to play out in the deep end.
roadrunmch, scholars have argued about this for ages and i doubt some new argument will be posed here on hfw. the evolution of the eye can be found here, i think it answers most of your questions.
i don’t understand your light bulb analogy. life on earth didn’t form in a vacuum though.
as far as the perfection of human design, explain some of the problems of human anatomy. such as the rods and cones in the human eye are backwards and thus not as efficient, hemroids and ingrown toenails, to name a few. there is also the issue of nipples.
yes nipples. if god created man first and then created women after because he was lonely, why did god give man nipples? what are they there for? i mean nipples are there to provide nourishment to mammalian offspring. god gave man nipples before eve, before the first children? wtf?
look you can believe anything you want. i don’t care. you may like to play in the deep end. but i think your swimming in the baptismal waters of the river jordan and i’m over here in the primordial sea. which is fine dude, go as deep as you want.
evolution of the eye video. there are a lot more, look in the related videos section. all though i am sure there is some kind of creationist response to this. i’ve heard most of them, none of them very convincing to me, but they may satisfy your needs.
Well, I will have to back buzzword up on this one. The idea of evolution is not exactly “controversial” among anthropologists, paleontologist, biologists or geneticists. The stack of evidence that humans evolved over time, including their eyes, is monumental and crosses almost every scientific discipline, some of which I listed. The entire science of biology is based on it.
I’d like to say a couple things to address roadrunnr’s questions. First, “relax” – there’s no need to get excited about this like it’s a political discussion. It’s science. We start with reason, and we are happy to see whatever the truth is. Also, there’s no vested interest (on my part) in whether evolution happens or not. If it happens, it happens. If it doesn’t it doesn’t. However, if you look into the science of it, it is impossible to conclude that it matches the observed data completely.
Plants did not evolve eyes because the combination of beneficial mutation and natural selection did not result in them. Similarly, plenty of animals do not have eyes (worms, some fish, etc.).
Can I refer to an animal that evolved eyes? Yes. Humans and other mammals, reptiles, etc. all evolved eyes. Insects evolved eyes. Different kinds of eyes have evolved in different ways several times.
You see order where there should be none? Why should there be none? There is order in some places and relative disorder in others. The order follows some very well known rules/laws of nature. Please identify what example of “order where there should be none” to which you are referring and we can discuss it.
Your post betrays a severe misunderstanding of the basic concepts of evolution. You referred a couple times about “something coming from nothing.” Please note that the theory of evolution does not explain the origin of life, it explains the diversity of life. There are theories of abiogenesis that attempt to explain the origin of life, but as of right now there isn’t a well-proven theory of that. Evolution, however, explains how life changed over time AFTER it was created.
Also, evolution has nothing at all to do with cosmic theories of solar system formation and the collection of molecules to form planets, stars and other heavenly bodies. There are other wonderful theories about that, but it has nothing at all to do with biological evolution.
The basic gist of the theory of evolution is that after life began, small changes including random mutation and natural selection (which is not “random”) operated to select those characteristics of a life form that were more likely to be passed down to the next generation. Those characteristics were more likely to survive, and therefore more life forms had those characteristics. Over times, isolated populations of life forms changed in different ways (because of different mutations and/or different selected characteristics). That caused speciation to occur, and as time went on the differences became more marked. These changes occur over billions of years. The first life forms on earth – much simpler than single celled organisms – existed when the earth was fairly young – several billion years ago.
Now – there are answers to all of your questions. Please understand that because you ask them does not imply there are no answers. It implies that you just don’t know. I’d like to direct you to a few very concise summaries of this argument on youtube. There are other things – like genetic drift – that occurs – so take a look at the below videos. The only other thing I can direct you to are some very lengthy scientific websites and textbooks.
If you actually watch those, i think a lot of your questions will be answered. While you claim to swim in the deep end – from a biology standpoint, though, it doesn’t look like you’re there yet. Let’s talk.
I think he went down for the 3rd time, buzz. Oops, the No Lifeguard On Duty sign is posted. Too bad. I warned him not to go swimming in the gene pool after eating all those communion wafers.
[F] irst the definition of God is incomprehensible to us.
There for you to be able to believe is something you are unable to comprehend is pointless.
How does one prove a negative ? Not.
I would ask you; Can [you] create life in a light bulb?
Before you just blow this off, Think. Can Your idea of [ Science ]
do it?
I know that the mouth breathers are laughing, but this concept.
is far reaching .
In your idea Nothing created all that is. ! Nothing! And you think a GOD is silly? I believe in Nothing.
roadrunmch, i agree, god is incomprehensible. you lost me after that. the whole light bulb thing seems unrelated, but i want to see where your going with this. i cannot create life in a light bulb. so, how many scientist does it take to screw up life in a light bulb?
the mouth breathers comment is lost on me, but your going so deep you must have developed gills by now. keep in mind jesus didn’t even bother swimming these waters he just walked on em’.
and hey, my nipple comment… that was a damn good point. answer that one.
the whole something out of nothing does seem paradoxical to me. but these seemingly inexplicable mysteries are common to science, they are the purpose of science. but science unlike religion just doesn’t respond by decreeing it a miracle and walking away. science keeps on methodically poking around coming up with better models and more accurate results and in the process producing things like light bulbs. but you originally brought up biological evolution, lets stick to that.
Therefore, we developed hands because [a worm] needed to grab something.
Ears because it needs to hear.
Hair on the head
Feet to walk
A rectum
A brain
And a penis.
etc………every single cell in you a body, JUST HAPPENED? REALLY,? WHY DID IT STOP? evolving? Another set of eyes would be really handy. In the back of my head. Or maybe another hand? How mean times have You said, Come to give me a hand? But , Just the Eye. no Two eyes. Why always two eyes? Not 3, 4, 8, 1?
As for the worm. Where is it’s eyes? 1,000,000,000 years and still no eyes?
all the links that prospero811 provided are really good. just basic biology. i don’t expect anything will satisfy you, but check out this site anyway, http://evolution.berkeley.edu/evolibrary/home.php
your summary of evolution indicates your not grasping the main ideas of evolution. and i’m a lousy educator so ain’t going to help much. the features you listed emerged because of genetic variation, processes which include mutation, migration, genetic drift and natural selection. the process of evolution has not stopped. the question of why certain physiological features become dominant should be answered with following link.
just keep on hitting next. or just explore the whole site, it’s very educational. but, i don’t think it or anything will convince you of the success of evolution as a scientific theory. it is science, it deals with physical reality, beyond that science can’t comment.
now if whatever god you believe in decides to come down and get his blood drawn then scientists can start getting to work. i for one would be really interested in studying god but i do not have anything to test, measure, model, simulate, etc… and so far religion hasn’t provided anyone. and science isn’t concerned with producing one. so i don’t know why your looking for religion in my science, i’m not looking for any science in your religion. i don’t really care either way. believe what you want. in fact, or perhaps more appropriately, in faith what in god’s creation do you believe?
Your first mistake is to think I am a Monotheist. Not at all, I think It is childish or simplistic to give God a form we are able to comprehend.
My idea of GOD is like gravity.
Gravity is everywhere and no were to be seen.
You can feel it, but you can’t touch it.
You can see it’s work. But you can’t see it doing it.
Well, roadrunmch, if you got from the material I posted that “every cell just happened” then you didn’t actually pay much attention to it. Evolution doesn’t say anything “just happened.”
Life evolved over time – a long time. Eyes and other organs don’t just pop up out of thin air and the theory of evolution does not claim that they do. It’s also NOT RANDOM – natural selection is not PURE CHANCE. Understand that. It’s a process. Watch DonExodus’s videos again, and I recommend reading the Blind Watchmaker by Richard Dawkins, if you’re interested in reading a book that is written without jargon.
Beyond that, I suggest you trek down to the local library and have them direct you to the section of books on biological evolution, and read them. Read them with an attempt to understand them. You claim to swim in the deep end of the pool, apparently believing that you dare to ask the tough questions that evolution doesn’t answer – only it does answer them. It answers them beautifully.
And you’re back to the issue of “creating life in a light bulb.” I’ve said this already, but that really has nothing to do with the theory of evolution. Nobody knows how life came from non-life. Nobody is claiming that it came from “nothing” however.” But the origin of life and evolution of life are two different things and evolution doesn’t explain the origin of life.
Oh, and roadrunmch, I wonder why you are so vested in this issue. What does it matter to you, a non-monotheist, who believes in some unexplainable gravity-like-god, whether that god created the process of biological evolution?
I mean – he created gravity, right? Which you accept in its relativistic sense of massive bodies warping space and thereby attracting other bodies to them? Why is that science more believable than the theory of evolution?
May I guess? Comes from Jock strap. A Jock strap is worn to support your nuts while exercising or playing sports. And so someone that wears a jockstrap, a Jock. a player of Sports ? sound ok?
how it originated and came to be that – I don’t know yet, but we sure could ask Marina – she would be knowledgeable on that subject. There’s really no other way I can phrase that.
Gilbert
male proper name, from O.Fr. Guillebert (from O.H.G. Williberht, lit. “a bright will”) or O.Fr. Gilebert, from Gisilbert, lit. “a bright pledge,” from O.H.G. gisil “pledge,” a Celtic loan-word (cf. O.Ir. giall “pledge”) + beorht “bright.” It was the common name for a male cat (especially in short form Gib) from c.1450 (see Tom).
You know how when people have an idea or their going to do something later they say “its in the pipeline” or “I’ve got ideas in the pipeline” or “that project I’m working on, its in the pipeline” where does that come from???? Thanks

Mike, with friends as long as you smile when you say it, you can call me anything under the sun. Just a word of warning, I do return fire. You know whats interesting? You can pick on your friends and its a sign that they care about you enough to do such a thing. Yet you do the same thing with a stranger or someone that is not that close of a friend and its makes them angry or escalates to a fight. Interesting the human social thing.
Yes , Only a Friend can needle you to show respect. As like if You were to walk up to my place the dogs would eat you , because they do not know your intent. But a Friend can walk up and They get the lick lick happy happy dance. We believe a friend is playing and trying to denigrate you
Great point RR. I have always found it interesting to look at animals for answers of how we should act. That said, you’ll think we should be acting better than them with our intelligence.

Have you heard about the new idea . multiple rounds in a tube and and fired electrically no firing pin, no miss fire, if one misfires the next in line pushes it clear. And the rate of fire is insane. I think it may be called Rail Gun?
I did, since the link appeared in my email. Thanks (I think! ) for not making me look thru a million vids for the one comment. Even so, I think that guy is just a bit more, shall we say, ripe than I am if you know what I mean and I think that you do… Give me about 20 years …

Marina is the definition of HOT
ardent and fervent…inflamed with words…Marina is a hot number that makes for numbness..this was a random lesson and thank you
I’m hot for HotforWords.
Another name for women that are “hot” or “fashionable” is Mirana
Another great video. Keep up the intelligent and very sexy work
marina you are just too hot for words i love my teacher i watch lessons every day or in my case every morning when i cant sleep i watch.i watch every chance i get i love to learn i would like to hear any mexican to english words
You know what’s hot is you youa re the spicyness of the food and just hot!!!!!!!!.
hello received your message and clear that always vote because of you, you are my teacher and one of the best I always will be your student.
I love your classes and by God if you once beautiful even my good teacher you command many kisses, and if I come late and I das an arrest does not matter as long as these ahi to punish me much better prefer your punishment my teacher, and kisses cuidate.
Well done, I had to find the old German one first
, made me sweat at this one. I saw it before but wasn´t sure about it, thought you made a writing mistake.
Dear teacher,,
I’m hot for this hot lesson about the hot word from hotforwords!
Thank you for this lesson,
Don Felipehot
very good but way are uyou soooo mmmmm “HOT” you make my laptop melt with your awsome looks [opps words] HUGSSS
smokin’…cutie just like u…
Yada yada yada…
Blah blah blah….
Hello Marina,
Hot for words
Hot for love,
Hot for beauty,
Hot for you,
Hot is in the eye of the beholder when I look at you!
Delicious dear lady delicious would meet thy beauty!

Due to the recent death of George Carlin, I think it would be great for Marina to do a tribute and answer one of his questions…
Why do we drive on a parkway and park on a driveway?
If anybody is entitled to explain the meaning of “hot”, it is Marina! Not just because she is “hot for words”
Marina, you are a legend!
People say hot or cute because their perspicacity is such that words like gorgeous or beautiful are too much for them.
I can see why hot would be akin to clothing in most women’s eyes, as a handsome man to them is the same thing as a nice pair of shoes. Many women’s favorite accessory is called ‘the boyfriend’, a title I never use because I know better. Oh ya, and I’m hott (majorly and mega, I’ve been told), and I know how to work it. Some women will do anything for a nice pair of shoes…
“in most women’s eyes, a handsome man to them is the same thing as a nice pair of shoes?”
That’s real perspicacious… It pretty much explains why “boyfriend” is a “title you never use.”
Perspicacity: keen understanding?
Didn’t you do a video on the word “pulchritudinous?” That means “hot,” doesn’t it?
And, I think prospero811 is a synonym for “hot” too – which is clearly why Marina chose to make me her Pet on the video for “hot.” It’s obvious, isn’t it? She thinks I’m “hot,” and the rest of you are “not.”
I would just like to know prospero how many times over and over you watched her say your name!
twice, actually. I memorized it.
RE: Perspicacity: keen understanding?
Yeah, Proz.
A fairly transparent effort at cognoscibility…
No matter what the definition, nobody can say the word “hot” as hot as Marina.
Someone can be “smoking,” or “hot,” or “smoking hot.”
I can’t believe it!
I made it!
Thank you, Marina!
Congratulations again prospero811,
That was way too kewel that you had just requested
to be the teachers pet the other day, too.
Server is back in business…
Thank you. Thank you.
I knew it was only a matter of time before Marina recognized my genius intelligence and my rapier-like wit, as well as my devastating good looks, and my god-like physique (even though she’s never seen me, I am sure she can sense these qualities). By choosing me as Teachers Pet, Marina proves once again that she is as kind, generous, smart, and educated as she is incredibly beautiful and alluring.
Was just looking through the comments and was thinking how ironic that you were the last to notice you were the Teacher’s Pet. Congratulations.
It was a nice surprise this morning!
Congratulations!
We’ve been wondering where you’ve been.
Nice surprise wasn’t it?
Much appreciated. Thank you to all my fans, and all their support over the last several months.
I am really thrilled that Marina finally decided to Pet me…. err… I mean… make me Teacher’s Pet. It’s a great honor, and proves that I am awesome and the rest of you can just wait in line behind me! Bam!
yeah yeah it’s great to be you. i’m discussing evolution versus creationism down below. back me up?

buzz ard ,
You asked, and hey, my nipple comment… that was a damn good point. answer that one. ….. this is so cute. Your knowledge of anatomy is stellar.
We all start female then change to male in the uterus. Like buying a car, It’s the extras that make the difference.
Look up hermaphrodite , scary shit
Scientists can solve some problems, but the nipple is a spiippery issue.
I’m not sure if anything is getting through. It’s as if no matter how many times one says it, some people will not understand that the “origin of life” is not the same thing as “evolution of life.” We really don’t know how life came from non-life, yet. The key word being “yet.”
One thing is for sure, though, nobody is saying that “life” springs out of “nothing” like in the vacuum of a light bulb. So, roadrunmch keeps asking, “can you create life in a light bulb,” and my only answer to that is “no, of course not. Whoever said you could? Certainly not the theory of evolution.” But, his argument is “if you can’t show me how life is created in a light bulb, then evolution is bunk.” I’m not sure how that can make sense to anyone, though, since evolution is not premised on life being created in vacuums of any kind, let alone light bulbs.
Am I missing something? I thought DonExodus and AronRa’s videos on youtube do a pretty darn good job (better than me, for sure) at explaining the science involved and using non-jargon terms.
Note, also, Thunderf00t’s series “Why do people laugh at creationists?” The title is inflammatory, but his debunking of creationist arguments is excellent.

Hey BW you look good on the front of this womans chest
http://www.urbandictionary.com/
Ok when I first clicked on it there was a picture of your gravatar on her big chest. The next time I clicked on the site the shirt had changed. Sorry to have alarmed you.
I’m not getting any cohesive response from roadrunrmch. He continues to claim, after I point out to the contrary and link to explanatory material that backs me up, that scientists think life just “popped” into existence out of nowhere (like in a light bulb).
Here’s a pretty good non-jargon video on the origin of life. I posted it in a reply to roadrunnr somewhere else, but thought you might like it: The Origin of Life Made Easy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozbFerzjkz4&feature =related
Clearly, the only ones claiming that life just “poofed” into existence are creationists, who claim that god used his supernatural power to do the poofing (in some undetectable way). Science does not claim that anything just poofed or popped into existence.
yea, i agree. as always you respond in a very constructive manner. the links are also very well selected but i don’t think anything gets through his mental filter. i like discussing evolution but the debate between evolution and creationism gets old fast. and i don’t have the time.
i’ve just started summer classes and am getting really busy, medical terminology, physiology, developmental psychology, and physics. ugh. by the way, if you don’t mind, what is your background and what the hell do you do? you know enough to be a real pain in the ass.
Hi guys, I’m still arguing with RRR in the “Hara-kiri” thread.
RRR: “In a last effort to end this let me just make one concession, God started and evolution took over.”
So the question is no more evolution but the initial spark the “anomaly” geting something from “nothing” (no place no time).
Well, buzz – my friends all tell me the same thing…..I just consider myself a nerd (but, good looking).
micheldiego – I figured that’s where we were headed. If God started it and evolution took over, then I guess we’re in agreement that evolution happens. Game – set – match.
Now, if we want to talk about theories on the origin of the universe, I already responded to that portion by posting some well constructed summary videos that discuss the matter. I’m not going to spend more time organizing thoughts while my posts go ignored by the guy who asked the questions and wanted to “swim in the deep end of the pool.”
Suffice to say that roadrunr is arguing the “god of the gaps.” And, I have no answer for that, scientifically. My only answer to the god of the gaps (god exists where there are gaps in scientific explanations), is that there has been a long progression of filling in gaps and god never seems to be there. 10,000 years ago, God was in the wind and the rain, the sun and the moon, the clouds, the volcanoes the earthquakes and the tidal waves. He was in the ocean and meteors and comets, etc. etc. Over time, man found out how these things worked, and we were able to let go of sun gods and wind gods and rock gods and volcano gods. When planets were first discovered, we thought that god held them in place – we know better now. More and more the gaps become fewer and fewer,and there is never a need for god to cause the happenings.
We’re down really to two main gaps: (1) the initial “origin” of the universe (if indeed it had one), and (2) the initial “spark” of life on Earth. Those are basically just two mysterious volcano gods, and one day we will know how those volcanoes really work.
In any case, let’s take the second gap – the spark of life. We now know that there are thousands of other planets in the universe, and probably millions of billions of them in all likelihood. If life could arise on another planet, will god have to point his finger and cast supernatural powers to make self replicating materials? Or, is there a natural explanation for how self-replicating materials may form under the right conditions? If you were a betting person, what would you think is the likely outcome of our explorations in that regard? God sprinkles “life force” onto a planet, or there are reactions that can take place where nucleotides will combine and form self-replicating compounds which will evolve from there?
I guess there will always be a gap in our knowledge, and god can live there. But if there is a god, he will not punish scientific inquiry, and he will not require you or me to believe things because they are written in an old book, or because our parents told us it was so. That’s just my humble opinion.
Have you seen the National Geography Genographic project? https://www3.nationalgeographic.com/genographic/index.html
I’m expecting my results any day now. This is awesome. What genetics have done to support natural selection and human evolution in general is amazing.
Thought you might like it.
I have always liked the phrase “smoking hot” which makes perfect sense because most things that are very hot tend to smoke as well. I have never seen you smoking yet but you are definitely “smoking hot”.

I’m going to request “cocky” again. I’m really curious about this one.
Dear Teacher:
This time i don’t wanna request a word. As you’ve been saying that you love to play GTA IV. I wanna ask you: How do you pronounce GRAND THEFT AUTO 4 in russian???
THANKS in advance.
Site going down for an hour in an hour! Moving the database to a new server.. hopefully it will speed things up!
say it not so , Withdrawals , shakes, Teach BZW’s Started a very controversial theory of the Eye. Are you up to something like this. A little out of your expertise. You have a mind and can use it well. ie, The Eye, Did it evolve or was it created. A little deep but I believe you are up to it……ru?
Did you say Buzzword started a very controversial theory? That’s a riot. But before you embarrass yourself engaging our busy teacher, get out your fifth grade biology textbook, or steal one from a 10 year-old. Read about light-sensing cells in earthworms. Do the planaria exercise on page 220. It’s “A little deep but I believe you are up to it…” This time don’t just copy your neighbors’ answers. Maybe you’ll learn something, unless eyes are just a theory and yours haven’t been created yet…
dude, um… the theory is evolution and charles darwin deserves some of the credit.
My iguana had a light sensing third eye.
Roadrunmch, I wanted to give you a couple of other good summations for you. Here’s one that answers one of your propositions (why can’t life form in a light bulb?). This video starts with a similar proposition about a jar of peanut butter. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_RXX7pntr8
The video also addresses your concern about things popping into existence like eyes and hands (the video uses an image of a cell to a brain just happening), and explains how it doesn’t “just happen.” Hopefully this will help clear it up.
Here’s another video called – “Evolution Made Easy” which is very good as well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7w57_P9DZJ4&feature=related
Take a look at this: https://www3.nationalgeographic.com/genographic/index.html
The genographic project is amazing. Lots of scientific proof for man’s distant history. It’s only dealing with human migrations on the scale of hundreds of thousands of years, but it is illustrative of where science has come in this area.
Hello Marina,
I have all of your Radio Shows downloaded. If you can’t recover them maybe I can send them to your “contact” address.
I want to thank the Academy and all of the little people who have supported me throughout these many months on my trek to become the Teachers Pet. Most importantly, I’d like to thank Marina, who saw the potential in me to be a fine Teachers Pet. I am very grateful to her for her confidence and trust that I am worthy of this wonderful honor.
Keep the faith, everyone, and you too can reach the pinnacle of recognition and have your name pass gently over the soft, pouty, bee-stung lips of our lovely, talented, and eminently trusty, teacher (the aptly names, Hot for Words).
Would it be asking too much if I became the first student to become Teacher’s Pet twice?
Uh, yes.
Come on, PAtuck9! I deserve it! If only from all the abuse I take from the gang around here….
Good point, but be that as it may, your tenure as TP seems to have extended for quite a while now, so perhaps you’ll consider that a sufficient, uh, bonus, shall we say. Regardless, I still offer congratulations and readily acknowledge your contributions to the site as substantial and relevant. Thanks for interceding in the latest debate, especially.
PP811,
If you want to believe that a skin cell was able to evolve into to the eye,Great.
But why is that so easy to buy, But a god is stupid? It is just that, a skin cell can but a god can not, seems so ridiculous.
RRR???
A couple of points, buzz:
1. It’s not a question of “wanting” to “believe” anything at all. It has to do with looking at the observations, testing and evidence, reading the explanations and conclusions, and accepting it as good science. That’s all. Understand the difference?
2. It’s most certainly NOT anything at all to do with believing, concluding, theorizing or even hypothesizing that a skin cell was able to evolve into the eye. Nobody thinks that’s the case. Nobody. At all. Ever.
3. None of this is “easy.” Physics, Calculus, Differential Equations, Chemistry, Thermodynamics and other such subjects were not “easy” and neither is evolutionary biology. But, it is understandable, and nobody is making shit up to trick you into believing it.
4. None of this is something you should “buy.” Skepticism is great. Heck, dispute Einstein’s theory of universal gravitation, the theories of plate tectonics, and any other theory you want question. However, when you do so you shouldn’t say things like “if you want to believe skin cell was able to evolve into an eye.” Why? Because that’s about as incisive a challenge to evolutionary theory as saying “if you want to believe that planets reach out invisible arms to grab onto other things and pull them in towards them….” That statement about gravity has as much to do with gravitational theory as your statement about skin to eyes has to do with evolution.
5. This has nothing to do with whether there is a God. Biological evolution does NOT say, theorize or require that there not be a god, or gods. There are plenty of god-believers that also accept evolution, including MOST Christians. The Catholic church officially accepted evolutionary science a long time ago, and over 50% of all Christians are Catholic. Most protestant denominations do not require one, either as an avoidance of sin or an acceptance of dogma, to reject the theory of evolution – the one I was born into doesn’t require rejection of evolution (Lutheran), I know Unitarians don’t have to, Anglicans (Church of England) don’t have to reject it (and most don’t), Methodists allow one resort to one’s own conscience in interpretation of Genesis.
So, this is not a battle between evolution and god unless YOU make it one. I will tell you flat out right now that the theory of evolution, again, does not dismiss god, does not pretend to theorize about his existence or nonexistence, and is ONLY in conflict with SOME concepts of god.
6. The theory of evolution does not require a belief that god, if he exists, is stupid. A god that could create planets, galaxies, warped space-time, elements and nuclear reactions (like the billions of years processes inside of stars), chemicals and chemical reactions/processes, and a process by which life may change and adapt over time would not be a “stupid” god.
7. Lastly – “seems so ridiculous” that god can’t. You’ve presented a false choice. Nobody said god can’t make things evolve. He didn’t, though, as far as everything that’s been studied make a process by which skin cells evolved into eyes. Even if their is no God, skin cells did not evolve into eyes. Things have evolved, though, and there is so much proof of that that it is as certain to be essentially correct as is Einstein’s theory of relativity. Thus, there are two choices. A- there is no god or gods and the process came about naturally, or B- there is a god or gods and he/they created that process. Either way, the process remains the same.
err… I mean – roadrunmch….not buzz… I’m used to arguing with buzz… ha!
Look, roadrunmch, a question that I have for you is why don’t you learn something about evolution before you dismiss it?
I mean, you would KNOW that skin cells are not thought to evolve into eyes, and you would KNOW the explanation?
I am not saying you have no right to question the theory, but isn’t it important to you to challenge the actual theory, and not some other theory?
If I was to say to you that Christianity is false, you might say to me – “hey, Prose Perro, what’s your basis for saying it’s false?” And, then if I said to you, “Well, if you want to believe that Jesus was a warrior king who liberated the Israelites from their Roman oppressors…..” that’s fine, but it seems ridiculous to me….. what would you do?
You’d say, “Prose Perro! Do you even KNOW what Christianity is? Have you even bothered to read the New Testament? Christianity never says that Jesus was a warrior king or that he freed the Israelites from Roman oppressors!”
And, wouldn’t I have done NOTHING to dispute Christianity with that argument? Well, that is PRECISELY what you did with your “eyes evolve from skin cells” statement.
Am I making any sense?
Here are some websites, roadrunmch, if you care to learn what evolution is, and why so many people are so certain about it.

whoa! why’d i get a youtube “We’re sorry, this video is no longer available” error?…
gawd, it wasn’t that hot…
well, it was, but only in my imagination…
back again…must’ve been a YT glitch…
and what is a glitch, anyway?
Marina when I log in i can reply on this video. But when I go to the Most viewed channel from here it tells me to log in again. Any help please.
Never mind It’s that dang xp computer again.
next time buy a mac.
sure, so you can buy the vast array of inexpensive software available for a large number of competing vendors…
oops…wrong OS…
I think I will. I am about tired of Microsoft and all of its bullshit error screens and costly software.
I love my mac!!!
Most viewed channel on what? YouTube?
This site which was at the top of the home page.

Teacher.
I read your post below and I would like you to keep in mind one thing. The Jackals on Utube like nothing more then to tear People down. Build them up and then Gang Bang, Tear them to pieces like Perona.
Let them come here and try it . Like errin we’ll send them home with their Head stuffed up their ass.
In the nicest way possible
That software is programmed with a sofistical algoritm which is the base of its artificial intelligence
It certainly would assist with the spelling since it’s algorithms are sophisticated enough to have rules dealing with that and to offer suggestions on synonyms.
How much that qualifies as intelligent is depends on how broadly you define it since it’s limited in it’s interactions
I’m interested adquiring “Whitesmoke” software because as you can see, my vocabulary is short and I have a lot of problems with redaction and Gramatical building. Don’t ya konw if there’s a trial version of it ???
Yes it’s available for trial now just click on the link above. I recently installed it and it seems to work reasonably well
Reasonably well, It means the software has artificial intelligence ???
I guess it depends on how broadly you define artificial intelligence. Behaviorists would probably give it high marks but it wouldn’t pass the Turing Test

here’s a site that is about Smokin’ dragons…
so, if a dragon smokes a cigarette, is a dragon takin’ a drag on a cig?
and if it’s a mariuwanna? cig, would the dragon bogart? would u tell ‘im if he did? you might get him all fired up, ya know…
lastly, if a dragon taking a drag on a cig enjoys dressing in a female dragon’s clothing, does that make him a dragon drag queen taking a drag on a cig? Or a dragon dragon queen taking a drag on cig?
Okay, this has dragged on one dragon joke too long…
what a drag!…
dragon
c.1220, from O.Fr. dragon, from L. draconem (nom. draco) “serpent, dragon,” from Gk. drakon (gen. drakontos) “serpent, seafish,” from drak-, strong aorist stem of derkesthai “to see clearly.” But perhaps the lit. sense is “the one with the (deadly) glance.” The young are dragonets (14c.). Obsolete drake “dragon” is an older borrowing of the same word. Used in the Bible to translate Heb. tannin “a great sea-monster,” and tan, a desert mammal now believed to be the jackal. Dragonfly is from 1626.
How about “embuggerance”?
i don’t think it’s a recognized word yet…
and that bugs me…
i’m gonna bugger off now, though…
You are a visual definition of hot.
Hello My Dear Teacher Marina,
I am sorry for posting a response to your questions on YT here
regarding the spelling of hot in German, “Heiß”. I don’t have a YT
account yet, and there is someone over there who is hogging every
imaginable user name not taken. Grrrrr.
First, your spelling of hot in German, “heisz” is correct, with the
exception that it should have been capitalized. For you Germans
(I am one) who just had a heart attack, calm down. I can’t go into
a long dissertation due to the format, but will make two points that
indicate that Marina is correct in her writing it the way it was.
In German, the double “ss” is replaced by a letter called “es zet”,
whose symbol is “ß”. According to the new rules, “Heiß” would have
been correct, but had you written it “Heiss”, as many YT comments suggested, then that would not be correct, unless you were Swiss
German.
So, Marina, you were correct writing it “heisz” on two counts.
(except for the capitalization)
1. Your OED showed it as “heisz” which is the Old German way
of spelling it. So, historically, you are correct.
2. It is assumed, and by edict, it is said that if one cannot write the
special symbol “ß”, then one would use the double “ss”. But, that
would violate the rules. Therfore, many people use the literal
sound of the symbol “ß”, as “es zet” which would be written as “sz”,
meaning “ß”.
As an aside, Poland and Hungary are two countries that use the
letters “sz” in their language.
On the Mac, you would use Option+s to create the “ß”, but that
may or may not be true, depending on the software.
The debate and controversy regarding the letter “ß” will continue in
Germany and there is a ton more interesting things to be said about it.
Here are two links.
http://www.electriceditors.net/langline/vol2/2-20.txt
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%9F
I loved how you pronounced “heisz”. ♥♥♥
Wow! Thanks pedantickarl! I really appreciate this! They were really making me feel that I had made a mistake and that the OED was incorrect as well!
You are the best for clearing that up for me!!!
Marina
Verrrrry cool Marina,
You placed an annotation on the YT video.
Love it!!!
The es zet is also available on the PC using an ALT keyboard shortcut. ALT-0223 = ß
And i love how you pronounce whatever it is you are pronouncing at the time, Marina…
I think, the explanation of “HOT” is very simple: HOT=Marina :p
Hello Marina,
Now that prospero811 has had his day I would like to vote for:
annudermale, pennsyltucky9 and Bob
as one of your next “Teacher’s Pet”.
They have shown intelligence and wit in many ways that seems to flow naturally instead of reading/copying from a book.
The way that they get their point across is very exact and intuitive all the while showing a depth that is admirable.
Thank you.
Oh, and of course thank you for another excellent show.
Thank you for your vote, Warren, but I’m quite happy to let everyone else jump the queue, in the belief that Marina is saving the best till last.
Anyway, since she named the Crane after me, I regard myself as Teacher’s Pet for Life.
Yea Bob. I do think your TP for life. Need to see the crane again in a vid.
I can see it now, Bob. Long after we’re dead, you’ll receive your teacher’s pet award posthumously as little old wizened Marina delivers her final vid from her deathbed at age 151 or so….
My pleasure Bob.
What is the crane reference?
You can’t vote for teachers pet…not earned, except for being signed up. Bob’s comming up soon, I’m sure. I’m just curious as to which name he will have?
Aw, shucks Warren. You’re makin’ me blush.
No problem, you guys deserve it more since you’re not just rambling on. I actually learn a bit more here because of you guys.
why, thank you, Warren…that is a surprising post to me…
Bob and hill..’er, penn should be far ahead of me in that race, me being a relative newcomer…
and then there’s the ol’ saying…
age before beauty…
or, to be fair…
pearls before swine…
Hmmm. It was never a race for me, nudder, I’m just here to have fun crackin’ wise. Sometimes I slip up and say something intelligent by mistake. But on another note, if you look over toward the south end of the trough there’s some lovely slop over there for ya.
It’s all true.
Marina
Hot – there used to be a lot of feline-type synonyms for this e.g. slinky, and some others I don’t recall. How far back goes one trace the implicit identification of female sexuality with cats – I imagine it goes back to Ancient Egypt or Babylon. Dogs on the other hand (although we love them) are definItily not sexy and are synonyms for ugliness. There is an underlying assumption that dogs have ‘male’ virtues – or at least those that women would like men to have(steadfast, brave, loyal) whilst cats have ‘female’ qualities – the qualities that men find attractive in women on first meeting – elegance, intuition, curiousity, caprice (that would be a good word to do), self-regard, enigmatic eyes, the sense of being on a different plane. What is so nice in Russian women is that this female tradition has been kept alive, whereas in much of the West it has been lost.
woo hoo, stereotyping women of various cultures… let’s do asian women next and black ones after that!
Dear Buzzword
Thank you for your considered comment. I happen to be a Russian myself. Are you saying that I cannot make a (friendly) generalisation about women in my own culture without being accused of ’stereotyping women of various cultures’. Secondly you seem to assume that culture and ethnicity are the same thing. Russia, like France or Germany, is a nation/culture about which some generalisations can be made, although we should always be careful. You can see differences between the behaviour of men and women in Russia as opposed to Austria as opposed to Greece and so on. This is nothing to do with ethnicity – my generalisation would apply to Russian regardless of their ethnicity, as it would be a product of their upbringing and cultural heritage.
This is nothing like making generalisations about asian or black women – there is no single asian or black culture, and so any such generalisation would be about ethnicity not culture.
Your wish is my command, Buzz, and as I’m married to an Asian woman (Thai) I feel qualified to comment.
I don’t like stereotyping of anyone any more than you, but I do know what leonidas1111 means. Asian women, in my experience, are mostly of small or petite stature, have soft voices and gentle dispositions and a tradition of acting in a subservient manner, since that is generally what their male dominant societies require. These are the qualities that western women, in their quest for “equality”, have abandoned, in the belief that they are demeaning, and the qualities that western men, not finding them at home, find so attractive in oriental women.
Note that Thai women, at least those living in the large cities and with a modern education, have all the equality of opportunity that western women enjoy, but they are intelligent enough to know what men like and to pander to them.
Do them all
ethnicity is an identification with an ethnic group and exclusion from certain other groups because of the affiliation. now an ethnic group is distinguished by cultural similarities and differences. members of an ethnic group share beliefs, values, habits, customs, and norms, and a common language, religion, history and kinship. culture is a difficult term to define as it describes all that is human. at its most basic culture is the traditions and customs that govern behavior and beliefs. stereotypes are the fixed ideas about what the members of a group are like. so, yes you were stereotyping russian women, and yes you may continue to stereotype russian women and all other women. but as an obnoxious smart ass i was expressing my lack of enthusiasm for stereotyping as it rarely achieves any deep understanding of a person or their culture, ethnicity, etc… however i do question how specific the qualities of self-regard, enigmatic eyes and the sense of being on a different plane are to russian women alone. what the hell does a sense of being on a different plane mean? having traveled a good bit i can say that individual differences exceed the descriptions provided by the stereotypes of various cultures and ethnic groups. i could take 100 women from various cultures and group them together again using different characteristics that would relate them all into another group. and i could then stereotype that group as well. not saying stereotyping is wrong just saying it’s just a tired means of generalizing a people to a few simple characteristics that are often found throughout human culture. woo hoo.
Guys ….” Paragraphs ” for F**k’s sake
@ Bob, I don’t minded equality. I just don’t like the women that are brain washed by commercials thinking they need this and that to be truly happy. This is one reason I don’t like to date women from the US.
What does Fetish mean in BDSM lifestyle.

Hey
I was wondering what the word cup means. There are many synonymes of cup. you can
drink coffee from a cup and I also know that there is world cups. You now – sports events.
There is also bra cups. I acctually choosed to ask you about the word cup when I saw your beautiful torso. Don´t take me for a pervert now. I just think you are a beautiful women and your breasts are one of the thinks that makes you wonderful

I disagree about the assessment of “hot” referring to looks. I believe that this use of “hot” refers to sexual attractiveness or being fertile. I think it refers to being “in heat”, when a female is the most fertile and invites sexual advances.
levocombi, and the term “being in heat” refers to the temperature of the genitals of the animal that is in heat? Are they hotter when the animal is “in heat”?
Ohhhhhhhhhhh! Shit.
You sure put me in my place.
There’s no challenge too great for Hot for Words.
Isn’t it more to do with the reaction of the viewer feeling “hot under the collar” when they encounter someone attractive?
Tempareture is not mentioned as a characteristic of a cat or dog in heat in the following two webites (assuming I can insert them correctly). The characteristics are behaviorial.
Wearing attractive clothing seems analogous to an animal in heat trying to attact a mate. Could not “hot” in the sense of attractive be related entymologically to “in heat?”
Cat link
Dog link
Marina, am I dumb or just lost? Don’t be honest, ok be somewhat honest. Are some of the maxim radio shows miising? ie 2-4…
Oh & how about “Viral” as in exteme heat.
estrus is, of course, the formal term for a female animal “in heat”…according to sources, it is from the Latin oestrus, meaning “frenzy, gadfly” and from Greek oistros
so perhaps being “in heat” came about from the frenzied actions of the female leading up to, and perhaps during, mating?…
sorta like a cat on a hot tin roof.
..
not being female, i can’t vouch for any frenzied activity, but i’m pretty sure i’d be willing to unfrenzy a few…
(okay, we all know human females have menstrual cycles that have replaced estrus, but, hey, that was the best shot i had to poke a lil’ fun Marina’s way today…)…
“Heat” relates directly to “excitement” on a molecular level. Similarly, animals in heat (estrus) tend to generate excitement in the form of heightened social or sexual activity levels as well. Amazing how the terminology we used to refer to heightened social or sexual activity since the days well before molecular physics were precisely understood ended up as a parallel to the physical properties of molecules. Wild, huh? Now how do you suppose we intuited that connection?
well, i think Paris Hilton would have to intuit the connection…
‘course you know when Marina will do her next video, right?…
when she gets a round tuit…
Anuddermale, unlike other primate females, human females don’t have what is referred to as an estrus cycle. They just have a menstrual cycle, and sometimes a stationary bicycle.

Hi Marina -
Thanks for your reply to this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qj5qgfQj-co
In it you suggested the word ‘peak oil’ does not describe the problem. I agree.
Do you have any suggestions for a more descriptive short term? If so, please let me know. We are going to run a contest to find a better term. Want to help?
thanks!
kris
“Peak Oil” conjures up an image of a type of oil… not that the oil supply has peaked and is now on the down-slide as far as supplies are concerned. You need something more dramatic… like “Zero Oil”.. that may not even be good… as in order to shock people, you need to relate it to something that affects them directly… and people don’t really use oil directly ($100/barrel oil means nothing to the average consumer – as they will have to do complex computations to determine how much that translates to a gallon of gas at the pump)…. perhaps “$100/gal Gas”…. something in that direction.
Any ideas guys and gals?
You’re right, Marina, most people will do anything to avoid thinking; you need to hit them with something that causes an emotional reaction. I’m sure Capt.Jack will confirm that that is the best way to sell anything, goods or ideas.
BTW, isn’t it about time you let prospero811 out of the dungeon?
Peak Oil was called “Peak Oil Theory” but the TV stations dumped
the Theory bit.
It refers to the fact that all the easily recoverable oil in the world has already been discovered.
So either a few miracles occur and oil fields the size of Saudi Arabia are discovered or the price of oil increases.
I suspect that the price of oil will skyrocket, because of demand from China and India.
I suspect that, with the price of oil increasing , “peak oil” will float to the top of people’s awareness.
I thought peak oil was a production thing, something like maximum current levels of production…the good news is that China has just raised their national price at the pump (they control it not the market) so there should be an easing of gas prices world-wide. I don’t think that peak (here) refers to a summit (up one side & down the other)
Girls
100 years ago, No one had any idea that oil would be so critical to the World. Like today, There is something right under our nose. We just need to have the need to see it. Really need it.
Oil is a easy fix and profitable. Until
it is neither, We will not see the alternative.
And until then we will pay, We Will Pay.
Empty tank time, perhaps. Dry well syndrome. It’s oil over, or Oil Gone. Post-Petroleum or simply Post-Petrol. Last Gas. Or how about “past gas?” Okay, that’s kind of a stinker. Hey! Who’s laughing?
“Sorry – we’re all OUT of gas”
That’s what the petrol stations signs usually read.
Oh damn this is where I was commenting on when the server went down.
Humm I wonder if co-comment recored it?
shocking is right, most people never knew oil would be such an economic god—this population bomb is all about oil and its many uses—peak oil spells fear —the money gods, pretty hot stuff

Good observation, Bob.
Perhaps the word “country” is also derived from “count” or vice-versa. Think of all the other words that relate to this root in some form or other, accountant, counting-house, no-account, encounter, countertop, counterproductive, miscount, discount, Viscount, etc.
Marina MUST investigate!
sexy can be described to someone who’s HOT!
It can also be ascribed to someone who’s HOT.

speaking of hot I hope it’s that way by 4th of july weekend
Hi, Marina,
When I work out I use a preacher bar to do my curls. How did “preacher bar” come to mean an angled bar used in weight lifting?
Larry
Great video. As usual
Well I would like you to do a video about the word “fuck”. I don’t want you to think that this is offensive but I’m curious about the origin. Well it can be used as adverb, adjective, noun etc. and it has lots of meanings. How can a word describe hate and love? Plager and pain? So will you acept my chalenge?
Been done, it was a radio show.
Really? I can’t find it on the list and I’ve seen almost all the videos. What’s the name of the video?
She gets asked to do fuck everytime someone new comes from youtube.
Like fuck is the most exhilerating and Taboo word they can come up with.
Maybe next she could do poop, or fart and BA BA Louie
if you will use spell check,
It’s in one of the Radio Shows – sound only.
Okay, I’ll repeat this once more, slowly. IT WAS A RADIO SHOW.
Don’t know why roadrunrnch replied to my comment, but clearly, he was addressing you, on June 21st, 2008 9:45 pm:
“She gets asked to do fuck everytime someone new comes from youtube.
Like fuck is the most exhilerating and Taboo word they can come up with.
Maybe next she could do poop, or fart and BA BA Louie.”
just agreeing with you pt9. it’s been done to death
and i was hinting that stern does that stuff all the time.
the problem with the road shows is that the words aren’t in the index…which could be rectified with a link to whatever Maxim interview it was…
‘course, listening to Marina giggle every show is entrancin’…
Maybe Marina needs to post it in a more obvious way so that people will stop requesting that word.
It’s becoming a bad joke.
Maybe dictionaries should be left at every hotel, motel and toilet.
If there was a dictionary at every toilet, guess which page would be the first one called into service when the roll ran out… Right! The one with the word you are looking for on it.
Murphy: it’s not just a good name. It’s the LAW.
Maxim Radio show but I think it’s one of the ealy ones, (Might be gone) #2-#4
BillyB.. the early Maxim shows are gone. They got lost when I moved from one server to another! That’s why I moved servers, couldn’t count on the previous host!

words for “hot-t-t-t”…
luscious, succulent, delicious, scrumptious
scrumpdidlyicious <–portmaneau word!
savory, tasty, choaby, phat,
strack, uhhh..
that made me hungry…
i would like to let u knw…im from sumwhere. so we use the word ending with “-lah” at the end of a sentence… e.g “i would wait for you-lah”
so wats the origin of this word?
thx hotforwords

Could you make a video on Neumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis
its the longest word in the oxford english dictionary.. i think it would be cool if you did this one 
its been done
really?…was it spelled “peumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis “?…anyway,it’s a made-up word…
‘course, all words are made up, but this one was concocted just to make it the longest word in the English language…i would say there was pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosismania…
Maliciousness is a good word for a bad thing – I know malus, mala, and malum mean bad in Latin, but how did the Latin prefix “mal” in “malus” become mal + icious to mean what it means? – Please do clarify.
I think all all your videos are fun and eventful, Marina, by the way, and of course, very hot.
mal, malo, spanish for bad too
Word Request: Gruel (Food)
Gruel is unusual punishment.
I meant gruel, the thin porridge.
The word STUPID. I wonder where this word came from.
A word VAMPIRE?
I would like the origin on the word SPICY, I love it, it is such a cool word…my youtube name is somelotocheese aswell
Could you please give me the origin of the word ‘gay’? We were reading The Count of Monto Cristo’ in school a few weeks ago and it mentioned where several men were merry and gay. It made me begin to wonder how it went from its first meaning (happy) to its modern meaning (homosexual). Thank you.
You don’t know any Gays ie( HAPPYGUYS ) do you?
I’m surprised Gaylord hasn’t become a popular name of late…
She already did it. Check the previous lessons.
Hey Guys anyone heard from prospero811? His big day . Maybe He has a life outside…? Too damn Hot in So Calif. 115* at my Place. Better to stay in a annoy Y’All.
I just moved from Palm Desert, you must be not too far from there.
Ya over in Temecula
Temecula? Dang, you’re just right up the road! Is that you on that horse?
not sure it’s from my photo log
he’s out busy performing atheist miracles.
Really , [ atheist miracles.] Do you really think a Woman like Marina was just cosmic dust smashing about in outer space? Or something that crawled out of a swamp 1,000,000,000 years ago? Look in to Her EYES and tell me You don’t see GOD.
well, your asking an anthropologist about evolution so… yeah, that’s what i think. but i’ll look into marina’s eyes. let’s see… holy shit, pixels! now marina isn’t just a philologist, she’s proof of the existence of god. your very talented, looking into her eyes, seeing god and kissing her ass all at the same time. the whole “the eyes are the windows of the soul” bit doesn’t really do much for me. yo, prospero811 here’s an opportunity for you to actually agree with me on something. eyes started out as light sensitive cells that over time developed into the organs we refer to as the eyes. that’s what i think. not asking you to think any differently, just commenting, because commenting is sexy… as long as it satisfies the rules of “standard english grammar” otherwise commenting is just human. which evolved from primates. i can see it in their eyes. har har!
Hahahahahahahahaha!
Yep, roadrunrnch is truly a most flexible yogi. Or maybe a yoda quotin’ toga totin’ rootin’-tootin’ rodeo roadie toady.
Just riffin.’

Why no plants with eyes. Or animals with out. That never had eyes. I would keep the definition of animal to higher forms of life. Jelly fish, bi pods, etc, exempt.
Can you refer to an animal that evolved eyes.? Can you show the evolution of the eye.
I see order where there should be none. How does order come from nothing?
Have you ever heard of life forming in a light bulb. Stop laughing and think. There is a source of energy in a Vacuum and like outer space
the molecules of life. That is what you want me to except with your theory of the origin of life.
Hope you can swim, I like to play out in the deep end.
Off the deep end is right.
roadrunmch, scholars have argued about this for ages and i doubt some new argument will be posed here on hfw. the evolution of the eye can be found here, i think it answers most of your questions.
i don’t understand your light bulb analogy. life on earth didn’t form in a vacuum though.
as far as the perfection of human design, explain some of the problems of human anatomy. such as the rods and cones in the human eye are backwards and thus not as efficient, hemroids and ingrown toenails, to name a few. there is also the issue of nipples.
yes nipples. if god created man first and then created women after because he was lonely, why did god give man nipples? what are they there for? i mean nipples are there to provide nourishment to mammalian offspring. god gave man nipples before eve, before the first children? wtf?
look you can believe anything you want. i don’t care. you may like to play in the deep end. but i think your swimming in the baptismal waters of the river jordan and i’m over here in the primordial sea. which is fine dude, go as deep as you want.
evolution of the eye video. there are a lot more, look in the related videos section. all though i am sure there is some kind of creationist response to this. i’ve heard most of them, none of them very convincing to me, but they may satisfy your needs.
Well, I will have to back buzzword up on this one. The idea of evolution is not exactly “controversial” among anthropologists, paleontologist, biologists or geneticists. The stack of evidence that humans evolved over time, including their eyes, is monumental and crosses almost every scientific discipline, some of which I listed. The entire science of biology is based on it.
I’d like to say a couple things to address roadrunnr’s questions. First, “relax” – there’s no need to get excited about this like it’s a political discussion. It’s science. We start with reason, and we are happy to see whatever the truth is. Also, there’s no vested interest (on my part) in whether evolution happens or not. If it happens, it happens. If it doesn’t it doesn’t. However, if you look into the science of it, it is impossible to conclude that it matches the observed data completely.
Plants did not evolve eyes because the combination of beneficial mutation and natural selection did not result in them. Similarly, plenty of animals do not have eyes (worms, some fish, etc.).
Can I refer to an animal that evolved eyes? Yes. Humans and other mammals, reptiles, etc. all evolved eyes. Insects evolved eyes. Different kinds of eyes have evolved in different ways several times.
You see order where there should be none? Why should there be none? There is order in some places and relative disorder in others. The order follows some very well known rules/laws of nature. Please identify what example of “order where there should be none” to which you are referring and we can discuss it.
Your post betrays a severe misunderstanding of the basic concepts of evolution. You referred a couple times about “something coming from nothing.” Please note that the theory of evolution does not explain the origin of life, it explains the diversity of life. There are theories of abiogenesis that attempt to explain the origin of life, but as of right now there isn’t a well-proven theory of that. Evolution, however, explains how life changed over time AFTER it was created.
Also, evolution has nothing at all to do with cosmic theories of solar system formation and the collection of molecules to form planets, stars and other heavenly bodies. There are other wonderful theories about that, but it has nothing at all to do with biological evolution.
The basic gist of the theory of evolution is that after life began, small changes including random mutation and natural selection (which is not “random”) operated to select those characteristics of a life form that were more likely to be passed down to the next generation. Those characteristics were more likely to survive, and therefore more life forms had those characteristics. Over times, isolated populations of life forms changed in different ways (because of different mutations and/or different selected characteristics). That caused speciation to occur, and as time went on the differences became more marked. These changes occur over billions of years. The first life forms on earth – much simpler than single celled organisms – existed when the earth was fairly young – several billion years ago.
Now – there are answers to all of your questions. Please understand that because you ask them does not imply there are no answers. It implies that you just don’t know. I’d like to direct you to a few very concise summaries of this argument on youtube. There are other things – like genetic drift – that occurs – so take a look at the below videos. The only other thing I can direct you to are some very lengthy scientific websites and textbooks.

If you actually watch those, i think a lot of your questions will be answered. While you claim to swim in the deep end – from a biology standpoint, though, it doesn’t look like you’re there yet. Let’s talk.

[F] irst the definition of God is incomprehensible to us.
There for you to be able to believe is something you are unable to comprehend is pointless.
How does one prove a negative ? Not.
I would ask you; Can [you] create life in a light bulb?
Before you just blow this off, Think. Can Your idea of [ Science ]
do it?
I know that the mouth breathers are laughing, but this concept.
is far reaching .
In your idea Nothing created all that is. ! Nothing! And you think a GOD is silly? I believe in Nothing.
I am just an old cowboy what could I know?
roadrunmch, i agree, god is incomprehensible. you lost me after that. the whole light bulb thing seems unrelated, but i want to see where your going with this. i cannot create life in a light bulb. so, how many scientist does it take to screw up life in a light bulb?
the mouth breathers comment is lost on me, but your going so deep you must have developed gills by now. keep in mind jesus didn’t even bother swimming these waters he just walked on em’.
and hey, my nipple comment… that was a damn good point. answer that one.
the whole something out of nothing does seem paradoxical to me. but these seemingly inexplicable mysteries are common to science, they are the purpose of science. but science unlike religion just doesn’t respond by decreeing it a miracle and walking away. science keeps on methodically poking around coming up with better models and more accurate results and in the process producing things like light bulbs. but you originally brought up biological evolution, lets stick to that.
Wow Ran through some of the stuff you gave……..?
Boy that just cleared it right up.
Therefore, we developed hands because [a worm] needed to grab something.
Ears because it needs to hear.
Hair on the head
Feet to walk
A rectum
A brain
And a penis.
etc………every single cell in you a body, JUST HAPPENED? REALLY,? WHY DID IT STOP? evolving? Another set of eyes would be really handy. In the back of my head. Or maybe another hand? How mean times have You said, Come to give me a hand? But , Just the Eye. no Two eyes. Why always two eyes? Not 3, 4, 8, 1?
As for the worm. Where is it’s eyes? 1,000,000,000 years and still no eyes?
all the links that prospero811 provided are really good. just basic biology. i don’t expect anything will satisfy you, but check out this site anyway, http://evolution.berkeley.edu/evolibrary/home.php
your summary of evolution indicates your not grasping the main ideas of evolution. and i’m a lousy educator so ain’t going to help much. the features you listed emerged because of genetic variation, processes which include mutation, migration, genetic drift and natural selection. the process of evolution has not stopped. the question of why certain physiological features become dominant should be answered with following link.
http://evolution.berkeley.edu/evolibrary/article/0_0_0/evo_17
just keep on hitting next. or just explore the whole site, it’s very educational. but, i don’t think it or anything will convince you of the success of evolution as a scientific theory. it is science, it deals with physical reality, beyond that science can’t comment.
now if whatever god you believe in decides to come down and get his blood drawn then scientists can start getting to work. i for one would be really interested in studying god but i do not have anything to test, measure, model, simulate, etc… and so far religion hasn’t provided anyone. and science isn’t concerned with producing one. so i don’t know why your looking for religion in my science, i’m not looking for any science in your religion. i don’t really care either way. believe what you want. in fact, or perhaps more appropriately, in faith what in god’s creation do you believe?
BZW.
Your first mistake is to think I am a Monotheist. Not at all, I think It is childish or simplistic to give God a form we are able to comprehend.
My idea of GOD is like gravity.
Gravity is everywhere and no were to be seen.
You can feel it, but you can’t touch it.
You can see it’s work. But you can’t see it doing it.
Look up solipsism and think
Well, roadrunmch, if you got from the material I posted that “every cell just happened” then you didn’t actually pay much attention to it. Evolution doesn’t say anything “just happened.”
Life evolved over time – a long time. Eyes and other organs don’t just pop up out of thin air and the theory of evolution does not claim that they do. It’s also NOT RANDOM – natural selection is not PURE CHANCE. Understand that. It’s a process. Watch DonExodus’s videos again, and I recommend reading the Blind Watchmaker by Richard Dawkins, if you’re interested in reading a book that is written without jargon.
All of your statements are “arguments from personal incredulity.” You can’t fathom how the eye can develop over time, so you argue that it doesn’t. However, scientists know how it happened. The information is out there. Evolution of the Eye (Part 1): http://youtube.com/watch?v=rUOpaFVgKPw
Evolution of the Eye (Part 2) http://youtube.com/watch?v=sb2fjftZrkE&feature=related
The Eye: Intelligent Design or Incompetent Design; http://youtube.com/watch?v=Bxsnqamvl0Y&feature=related
Beyond that, I suggest you trek down to the local library and have them direct you to the section of books on biological evolution, and read them. Read them with an attempt to understand them. You claim to swim in the deep end of the pool, apparently believing that you dare to ask the tough questions that evolution doesn’t answer – only it does answer them. It answers them beautifully.
And you’re back to the issue of “creating life in a light bulb.” I’ve said this already, but that really has nothing to do with the theory of evolution. Nobody knows how life came from non-life. Nobody is claiming that it came from “nothing” however.” But the origin of life and evolution of life are two different things and evolution doesn’t explain the origin of life.
Oh, and roadrunmch, I wonder why you are so vested in this issue. What does it matter to you, a non-monotheist, who believes in some unexplainable gravity-like-god, whether that god created the process of biological evolution?
I mean – he created gravity, right? Which you accept in its relativistic sense of massive bodies warping space and thereby attracting other bodies to them? Why is that science more believable than the theory of evolution?

is that like a bastard file?

Could you please do the word vulva in your next video? i have no idea what it means.
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/vulva
– external female genetalia.
how it originated and came to be that – I don’t know yet, but we sure could ask Marina – she would be knowledgeable on that subject. There’s really no other way I can phrase that.
vulva
1548, from L. vulva, earlier volva “womb, female sexual organ,” lit. “wrapper,” from volvere “to turn, twist, roll, revolve,” also “turn over in the mind,” from PIE base *wel- “to turn, revolve” (cf. Skt. valate “turns round,” ulvam “womb, vulva;” Lith. valtis “twine, net,” apvalus “round;” O.C.S. valiti “roll, welter,” vluna “wave;” Gk. eluo “wind, wrap,” helix “spiral object,” eilein “to turn, squeeze;” Goth. walwjan “to roll;” O.E. wealwian “roll,” weoloc “whelk, spiral-shelled mollusk;” O.H.G. walzan “to roll, waltz;” O.Ir. fulumain “rolling;” Welsh olwyn “wheel”).
Keep going, you’re on a (jelly) roll, pagedoll!
the word i ask for is “gilbert”. it also happens to be my name…
Gilbert
male proper name, from O.Fr. Guillebert (from O.H.G. Williberht, lit. “a bright will”) or O.Fr. Gilebert, from Gisilbert, lit. “a bright pledge,” from O.H.G. gisil “pledge,” a Celtic loan-word (cf. O.Ir. giall “pledge”) + beorht “bright.” It was the common name for a male cat (especially in short form Gib) from c.1450 (see Tom).
You know how when people have an idea or their going to do something later they say “its in the pipeline” or “I’ve got ideas in the pipeline” or “that project I’m working on, its in the pipeline” where does that come from???? Thanks

Mike, with friends as long as you smile when you say it, you can call me anything under the sun.
Just a word of warning, I do return fire. You know whats interesting? You can pick on your friends and its a sign that they care about you enough to do such a thing. Yet you do the same thing with a stranger or someone that is not that close of a friend and its makes them angry or escalates to a fight. Interesting the human social thing.
Yes , Only a Friend can needle you to show respect. As like if You were to walk up to my place the dogs would eat you , because they do not know your intent. But a Friend can walk up and They get the lick lick happy happy dance. We believe a friend is playing and trying to denigrate you

why are heavy, fully automatic weapons called “machine guns”?
They were going to call them, ‘Rooty tooty aim and shooty’, but it didn’t sound manly enough. Oddly enough that didn’t stop them from calling their field communication radios as ‘walkie talkies’.
If you define Machine, You will have your answer. ie mechanized
Sandia Labs is like Tony Stark Industries.
You want to build a weapon that you only
have to use once.
Mag-lev and induction rail tech is an
interesting topic.
“gun” is an interesting word, eh?
gun your engine,
under the gun,
gun shy,
gunny sack?
machine pistols, too!
automatic blowback
action receivers were
the first breakthrough
beyond the gattling gun
(danke Herr Mauser)
the basic design is
adopted intact for
weapons used today
The disadvantage to
these weapons is the
expansion gas blow by
robbed performance,
Slow cycling rate was
another performance
issue.
The modern handheld
machine operated
shoulder weapons
have an additional
cam operator to
lock the bolt in the
receiver (no blow by)
during the firing cycle.
gas operated weapons,
which tap a minute amount
of muzzle pressure to
drive a piston, have cycling
rates so FAST, ammunition
conservation, and HEAT
dissipation are the new
issues.
ok – this is more than you asked
hope it serves you well. Always
use maximum velocity rounds
to get the best accuracy and
power.
Lock ‘n’ load <— should be load and lock!
go figger…
Lock ‘n’ load <— should be load and lock!
Yea I all ways smile when they say that too.
go figger…
Have you heard about the new idea . multiple rounds in a tube and and fired electrically no firing pin, no miss fire, if one misfires the next in line pushes it clear. And the rate of fire is insane. I think it may be called Rail Gun?
D-rail gun I so want One! @ !
Better them Sex
I think that’s when you lock the clip and load the chamber. Just a guess
That might be a mec-gat , It’s great too but this is the type I am talking about.
