I would like to know the origin of the word “Langer”, it’s an English word that is synonymous with Cork, Ireland and has many varying uses, from use as an insult as in ‘He’s a Langer’ or to describe a state of acute inebriation, ‘I was absolutely Langers last night’
So I’m wondering where this word has come from and how it has become so popular in this small area and if it is in use for the same purposes anywhere else.

Hello, everyone. Here felicity is again from Japan where the summit is now being held. Please don’t forget sushi. You will be mocked and have divine punishment if you eat it with a pair of chopsticks in Japan.
I am calling for them to be banned when you eat it.
Bob replied on July 8th, 2008 9:08 am:
If the punishment is administered by a divine Japanese Miss, it might be worth it.
lostforwords replied on July 8th, 2008 9:29 am:
Felicity,
I was going to say sushi too, but since in the US sushi is often an umbrella tterm for sushia and sashimi, I don’t. You have to use chopsticks even in Japan for sashimi, no?
On the subject of forks, American people often have a difficult time using a fork with their left hand (if they are not left-handed). Very inefficient: cut using knife and fork, put the knife down, switch fork form left to right hand , spear, eat….Vs. Cut, spear, eat…

By the reasoning about not using hands, spoons are evil too. How would you eat soup?
Chopsticks must have also been evil to the church, but I’m sure in Asia nobody would have cared about a foreign religion’s views.
In fact you can eat whatever you like with your hands.
Sometimes the problem is what would think the people around you .

I was curious about the word hunch. It’s odd that saying “I have a hunch” can mean two completely different things. Most commonly, it would mean that you have an instinctual ‘gut feeling’ about something. The other meaning is to take it literally, having a hunch like the Hunchback of Notre Dame.
Where did this word come from, and how can it seemingly have two completely different definitions?
Thanks in advance,

Unfortunately for Justin though, during one of his songs he forgot to switch his microphone back on Otherwise it was an awesome performance by all

What foods can I eat with my hands today, and not be considered weird? Sorry Miss HFW: that question involves a presumption that I can read peoples minds, or correctly read their looks of expression, as they gaze at me, and I back at them. As well as a matter of fact announcement by them of shame on me for…, the waitress told me that I was a bad patron, or I chat with others about this issue. I cannot do any of the above with 75% success. Some people: lick their plate, put their elbows on the table, sneeze into other peoples’ food or face, pick up and eat dropped food, handle their silverware as a child/shovel. But I am not Miss Manners to correct them. Weird: Mrs. A. Winehouse inhaling shots of alcohol through her nose.

Hey hawk fan, What do you think of 2 newcomers of defencemen Brian Campbell for 8 years and goaltender Christabel Huet for 4 years?
blackhawksfan13 replied on July 7th, 2008 10:22 pm:
Love the signings, couldn’t believe that Dale pulled it off. We now have young guns, and a top defenseman who can QB the powerplay. Huet is interesting, I liked him when he was with Montreal. I just hope that we all have a chance to see Crawford (or young goalie) play soon. By the way, did u hear the Flames signed Todd Bertuzzi? Will be interesting to see if the Hawks trade Khavi but they probably won’t cause of the price tag. Whos ur team? Leafs? (guessing cause of the Labbatt)
In the majority of restaurants I would say appetizers, and breads (such as rolls, bread sticks etc.) You also don’t get strange looks when eating foods that were made to be eaten by hands, like burgers, french fries, and ribs.
If you are at a seafood restaurant, practically everything on the menu can be eaten sans a fork.
Hi marina big fan of the site and the youtube vids, very gnarly.

for the homework: some of the food eaten in latinamerican cultures like Mexico, is taken by hand especially those preapred based on corn, that is corn is used in these cultures as a substitute for the silverware, as it is we could fin tortilla as a kind of edible silverware and it is consider cultureless to try to eat such dishes as tacos or tostadas with silverware. to add some more pizza is said to be invented to be eaten by hand and only a few new rich guys who considered themselves as having much culture create a movement to instill the use of silverware in such dishes, any kind of food wrapped in bread should not be eaten with silverware. some variety of sea food, as crabs and lobster are permited to eat by hand and in fact they are served with a bowl to wash the fingers after finishing eating. in some arabic cultures the eating of rice is done by hand a s away to enjoy the food totally, as in the taste, the smell and the touch. i hope this could help you a little bit. just one more thing what is the real origin of the expresion ISHKEBIBLE. I am not pretty sure abuot the spelling. thank you very much

Marina, dear teacher, you said one of the words fork comes from is “yolk”, (the spelling used on your video) but I believe you meant “yoke” as the thing placed around the necks of draught animals, not the yolk as in an egg.
So if God gives us hands then why is it bad to use the middle finger to show displeasure? How did “giving the bird” become a bad thing anyway? And in what other parts of the world are hand gestures used to convey obscene meanings? Does that mean we should be saying “FORK YOU!” instead of well, you know…
Eat hot wings with a fork? Balsphemy!

Your comments about Soccer and the Euro’s made me think why do we in America call Deutchland Germany?
Hello lakingfish and fighter pilot to be foxbow15,
I have been wanting to ask for this myself, but have resisted since it might not be of interest to a larger audience. I have done extensive research into this area, but won’t elaborate as Marina may want to do this lesson.
There are many countries with names that are radically different than what the natives call themselves, such as Austria = Österreich. The word Austria loses a huge meaning of that of the native word.
If I remember correctly, the country which we call Germany, has the most number of different names. Some of them are translations of the same idea, but in other countries, the name of Germany is or was derogatory.
What is interesting is the meaning of the word Deutschland.
Although, not widely disputed, my research points to possible manipulation and cover ups of the original meaning and that it may actually mean something else.
As Marina has said in the past, why talk politics which is divisive,
when there are enough political arguments in etymology.
Marina, if you chose to do this word, you may consult me and I could preview the video.
If you chose not to do the word, may I recommend the word Cologne?
ref: 4711. There is an inscription on the bottle that 98% of the Germans probably don’t know about. Love word origins and history.
It was the Russians who came up with the idea of having separate knives, forks and spoons to use with each course of a meal.

I’ve always thought that philology is boring, but very long words are quite interesting. Now i can even pronounce any word even this: Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis.
But my word request is this one: Methylchloroisothiazolinone
Ty!
Hey hotforwords yet another good lesson I also have a request for two words-apron and Gay.
and by gay i mean homosexual or happy maybe both.Thx!!!
Hello, everyone. Here felicity is again from Japan where the summit is now being held. Please don’t forget sushi. You will be mocked and have divine punishment if you eat it with a pair of chopsticks in Japan.
I am calling for them to be banned when you eat it.
If the punishment is administered by a divine Japanese Miss, it might be worth it.
Felicity,
I was going to say sushi too, but since in the US sushi is often an umbrella tterm for sushia and sashimi, I don’t. You have to use chopsticks even in Japan for sashimi, no?
On the subject of forks, American people often have a difficult time using a fork with their left hand (if they are not left-handed). Very inefficient: cut using knife and fork, put the knife down, switch fork form left to right hand , spear, eat….Vs. Cut, spear, eat…

I am interested in the word: crapulent, and it’s possible connection to contemporary slang words.
Additionally, I am charmed by hot for words. You are lovely. Thank you for your interesting site and your delightful personality.
Were does the name aires come from
Where does the word or phrase “howcome” come from? Howcome it is used instead of why?
Excellent question! I want to know this too.
Seems a “no brainer” to me; contraction of “How does it come about …”
How did you come to that conclusion?
Hi!
I got really curious and would like to know what the origin of the word “score” is.
Thanks in advance.
Burrito,nachos,shrimp,BBQ ribs and chicken.
By the reasoning about not using hands, spoons are evil too. How would you eat soup?
Chopsticks must have also been evil to the church, but I’m sure in Asia nobody would have cared about a foreign religion’s views.
The ultimate evil must be the

Foods You Can Eat with Your Fingers
In fact you can eat whatever you like with your hands.
Sometimes the problem is what would think the people around you .
I agree. See my reply to prospero811 below
What about ants and other delicious insects?
Difficult to eat with a fork but much easier embedded in chocolate.
The second image is terrible
But with chocolate, it may change…
i don’t see fajitas on that list…

Hello,
I’m wondering what the origin of the word ‘intrinsic’ comes from.
Thanks
Hai!
I’ve wonder this for along time and it would be awesome if it could be answered…. How did the word ‘Vagina’ really come into place? and Penis?
I wonder why you are not curious about the names of other body parts, such as liver, heart, pancreas, or medulla oblongata?
Religion is evil in this case, not forks. I’ll stick with eating with one. Sanitation over superstition.
french fries
pastries
pizza
fruit without syrup
wings
hamburgers
sandwiches
fish and chips
Hello Marina,
I heard that the word “Shit” actually has a really interesting origin. I would really appreciate it if you could do a show explaining it in more detail. Thank you soo much <3
Cheers
Hello
Hey Marina, I have a word request.
I was curious about the word hunch. It’s odd that saying “I have a hunch” can mean two completely different things. Most commonly, it would mean that you have an instinctual ‘gut feeling’ about something. The other meaning is to take it literally, having a hunch like the Hunchback of Notre Dame.
Where did this word come from, and how can it seemingly have two completely different definitions?
Thanks in advance,

Hey stokes… was it you that said a while back that some in your family had issues with drugs or worse? Not meaning to be a pest or putting you down or anything, but last evening you had that, I thought, silly joke about the devils tail, was that posted before this video came up on Youtube? Just curious…are you doing good yourself? Here is one of my fav’s Texas Flood

nice video
I had the privilege to see Justin Hayward perform live last year when he was taking part of “Jeff Wayne’s : War of the Worlds - The Musical”. This was performed in Brisbane, and we had an Australian cast for that part of their world tour.
Justin sounded as good now as he did back when the War of the Worlds was first released on CD all those years ago
Unfortunately for Justin though, during one of his songs he forgot to switch his microphone back on
Otherwise it was an awesome performance by all 
Hamburgers and non-sauced burritos… oh and hot wings are “finger foods”… all I can think of right now.
PLZ REPLY MY EMAILS MARINA!
Marina i liked how your bra strap fell down during the video, =) very sexy, you should do that more often hahaha maybe u will get more view lol. It was a great video =)
Hello. I just found you today. I have went through and watched a bunch of videos and enjoy watching them because you seem to get more confident with each video.
I love V words (verbalvincennes) and I even was the letter V once for Halloween with a foam cut v, but you only have one V lesson.
What about these V words:
vague
vogue
vaccine
vixen
velocity
vibrate
versus
vacuum
vigilante
and my personal favorite: vivacious
How about V for Vendetta?

My three yr old watches you every day and seems to have a crush on you. Anyway he wants to know where the word “booger” came from as in the stuff you blow out of your nose.
Watch him ask about BOOGER here - really cute
How can he be a teacher’s pet?
That was cute… it doesn’t seem to matter what age, she seems to have the same effect. I could explain where boogers come from… but yuck. I have no idea why we call them boogers, very good question John John. Hope she nose the answer.

I really enjoyed the AK-47 one. I apologize for my bad Russian, no one speaks since my great uncle.
hi marina. im actually curious where the word “dildo” comes from. im not joking around or trying to be funny. i really want to know where the word originates from. thanks! and keep up the good work!
Wasn’t it Dildo Daggins from the Lord of the Rings?
Point well taken Marina, I never realized what dangerous evil instruments forks are! I’m swearing the off for ever.Well except when I eat spagetti.Foods I eat with my hands? Ice cream cones, burgers, fries, tacos, sandwiches,toast, Love ya Marina you deserve too be number one! You are so intelligent amd so pretty!
Rick,,,,
onomatopoeia
i have surprisingly, as a fan, a subscriber, and just a curious person of things such as this, awlays wanted 2 know the origin and definition of this strange word. If u can please make a video of this (youtube) that would mean the workd! thank you. once again, the word is
onomatopoeia
sincerely,
ACDCtjTHRASH
hey rammzcub25/ACDCtjTHRASH,
I will 2nd that motion, as I remember requesting this a few months ago.
*fingers crossed*
I would like the request the word “protein” :).
Hi Marina,
Hmm, why is that flute-type musical instrument called a recorder? As far as I can tell, it doesn’t record anything.
Thanks!
What foods can I eat with my hands today, and not be considered weird? Sorry Miss HFW: that question involves a presumption that I can read peoples minds, or correctly read their looks of expression, as they gaze at me, and I back at them. As well as a matter of fact announcement by them of shame on me for…, the waitress told me that I was a bad patron, or I chat with others about this issue. I cannot do any of the above with 75% success. Some people: lick their plate, put their elbows on the table, sneeze into other peoples’ food or face, pick up and eat dropped food, handle their silverware as a child/shovel. But I am not Miss Manners to correct them. Weird: Mrs. A. Winehouse inhaling shots of alcohol through her nose.
One can eat tacos, breads, ribs, burgers, fries, hot dog (remember no katchup on a Chicago dog!) pizza. Also since you did soccer ( sorry bout Russia losing I was cheering for them) could you do hockey please?
Hey hawk fan, What do you think of 2 newcomers of defencemen Brian Campbell for 8 years and goaltender Christabel Huet for 4 years?
Love the signings, couldn’t believe that Dale pulled it off. We now have young guns, and a top defenseman who can QB the powerplay. Huet is interesting, I liked him when he was with Montreal. I just hope that we all have a chance to see Crawford (or young goalie) play soon. By the way, did u hear the Flames signed Todd Bertuzzi? Will be interesting to see if the Hawks trade Khavi but they probably won’t cause of the price tag. Whos ur team? Leafs? (guessing cause of the Labbatt)
In the majority of restaurants I would say appetizers, and breads (such as rolls, bread sticks etc.) You also don’t get strange looks when eating foods that were made to be eaten by hands, like burgers, french fries, and ribs.
If you are at a seafood restaurant, practically everything on the menu can be eaten sans a fork.
Oh, I wanted to request a word. If it’s not to much trouble, I would like to request the word comic.
Isn’t a comic a shared microphone?
Hi marina big fan of the site and the youtube vids, very gnarly. I say gnarly like its my job so i was wondering where it came from and what actual meaning is. and why all surfers,skateboarders and extreme sports athletes say this word so frequently. if you could answer this question that would be gnarly, thanks
sorry Marina, a day or two late on this, but now that you’ve broken the ice on “sports” words, can you help a guy out and explain the origin of the name “lacrosse” to all your legion of fans. its been my favorite sport since i first picked up a stick way back when in %@# and educating folks one at a time has gotten tedious in my dotage.
for the homework: some of the food eaten in latinamerican cultures like Mexico, is taken by hand especially those preapred based on corn, that is corn is used in these cultures as a substitute for the silverware, as it is we could fin tortilla as a kind of edible silverware and it is consider cultureless to try to eat such dishes as tacos or tostadas with silverware. to add some more pizza is said to be invented to be eaten by hand and only a few new rich guys who considered themselves as having much culture create a movement to instill the use of silverware in such dishes, any kind of food wrapped in bread should not be eaten with silverware. some variety of sea food, as crabs and lobster are permited to eat by hand and in fact they are served with a bowl to wash the fingers after finishing eating. in some arabic cultures the eating of rice is done by hand a s away to enjoy the food totally, as in the taste, the smell and the touch. i hope this could help you a little bit. just one more thing what is the real origin of the expresion ISHKEBIBLE. I am not pretty sure abuot the spelling. thank you very much
Marina,
I would like to request the word “MONDEGREEN”. It should be especially interestingto a philoiogist. Thanks
Hi Marina, damn!!! you´re hot, what is the meaning of “thyn”
bread, fresh fruit, cheese, shell fish and hot soup !
BiLL
cannon fodder
other examples are cookies, hot dogs, hamburgers and fish. i love that sexy mouth in that video!!!
I like wings… not the hockey team, but the honey garlic & “hot” type. My wife is an avid recipe collector & likes this magazine. I don’t read it but I like that magazine too…yum.
so why does this video have the tagline:
HotForWords Says No to…
Intelligence is Sexy
… 
Marina, dear teacher, you said one of the words fork comes from is “yolk”, (the spelling used on your video) but I believe you meant “yoke” as the thing placed around the necks of draught animals, not the yolk as in an egg.
So if God gives us hands then why is it bad to use the middle finger to show displeasure? How did “giving the bird” become a bad thing anyway? And in what other parts of the world are hand gestures used to convey obscene meanings? Does that mean we should be saying “FORK YOU!” instead of well, you know…
Eat hot wings with a fork? Balsphemy!
good catch, snipe…i was wonderin’ that myownyokedtotheworkwagonself…
giving you fingers is one thing…you were also given the freedom to decide what to do with those fingers, so misuse of a gift from God is blasphemy, i believe…
‘course, i’m no thumper, so i really am just spoutin’ opinion here…
I’ve heard that in Australia for instance, that giving the “thumbs up” is equivalent there to giving the middle finger in the US. Just wondering what other gestures indicate displeasure in other parts of the world and how they came to be… communication without words….
Wow sniperskaya, good one finding the yolk! That’s crazy.. I must have been not paying attention when I wrote that!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31p5FT2qhgQ
I guess we could say that the “yolk’s” on you, eh Marina?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cH4ysqvp7nc
This is great!!
hi Marina your lessons are great, and very sexy. would you tell me where the name Aniwo comes from this is my first name and i have been told different meanings. thank you
all forks aren’t evil if your lost some where and need to find water if you come a cross a game trail follow the trail to a fork and the fork will always point in the direction of water, similar too an arrow.
A forked stick can also be another way to find water.
since pizza has already been said. I’ll go with bread rolls
There is no fork
words, i enjoy watching people eat their words. no forks needed.
Those sweet words
Words taste better with a good basting. (bass thing)
Hey Billy B. I got back from Michigan earlier this evening. Life is great there in the summer! What do you mostly eat with no fork? What I mostly like to eat with no fork are crab legs and shrimp which I had on the 4th of July. Cheers!
In the south, Fried Chicken.
I tried cutting my steak w/o a fork….used a spoon…didn’t really work….help.
#139 Sometimes it’s the simplest word,
like fork, that has the most interesting
story behind it. Very nicely done!
Since we’re doing cutlery, how about
spoon? “spoons in a drawer” is an
old country expression you might
find the origin for!
Homework: finger food?
french fries, sushi, vegetable dip,
fried chicken, any sandwich, ummm…
5 stars x 2, again!
oh, i wouldn’t mind spoonin’ with Marina, for sure…
then she can combine the two lessons and spork us just for fun…
can a soup spoon “spoon” a table spoon?
Marina only comes up to here on me
[Doug indicating chest high]
she is petite, I am mongo size!
of course i-am-always-willing-to-learn
*nowhere near first*…
homework: everything already mentioned below by the gluttonous crowd of rabblerousers…
jello is fun to eat with your hands, too, btw…
oh, and i’m pretty sure i’d be considered weird at the restaurant whether i used a fork or not…
i mean, there’s not annudder like me…
wait…i AM annudder, so there is annudder like me…but…
dadblasted paradoxes…
Hey there i just wanted to know about the word “internet” it’s interesting why it is called the internet so can you go investigate for me thankz.
Hi I think that you should Find out where the word WORD Came from. Why do we call words WORD?
That’s What I Want To Know Marina Please leave a comment on my site if you’re going to do my word
http://ca.youtube.com/user/XKiokuX
go marina!!!
oots oots!!! 
Can’t go anywhere without running into HotForWords…
or rather the allusion of her. So, I was in Del Taco eating Nachos with my fingers - no fork. So, I look at the placemat and what do I see???
Muy caliente!! http://i26.tinypic.com/2n73v4z.jpg
Time to tell Del Taco to get their priorities straight…
melika!
I think PEPco(?) May like it. Much better the OP.
I’ve noticed, too, that people are using Marina’s name for a Lecherlure or tag words for completely unrelated videos on Youtube.
It’s a measure of her popularity and we may soon have to change the maxim “sex sells” to “Marina hotforwords sells”.
She should find a way of getting royalties off of the use of her name.
Has she Trademarked herself yet?
131 !!!!
HotForWords,
I was just looking at your lesson pictures on the home page at your site.
that melts us.
You look glum there chum on the last couple of pictures.
Yes, Yes your a foxy fine looking lady. But it’s your smile
Give us an ear to ear.
P.S. Your plant looks fine. I was only teasing about watering with the martini.
Having trouble with my mashed potatoes and gravy.
Hopefully the ice cream will heal the burns.
The frosting was fun.
Marina,
Please explain the infield fly rule in baseball.
Thanx
you first - LOL
Hi Marina.
i just wanted to ask , what the origin of “to perplex” is.
Pretty please, with sugar and cream, tell me , or mention me as the teachers pet.
anyway, byebye
And by the way:
i wanted to ask you, if a men’s magazine like Maxim or FHM asks you for a Photoshoot, would you agree?
Marina, can eat spaghetti with my hands? I think i would look evil doing that.
Your comments about Soccer and the Euro’s made me think why do we in America call Deutchland Germany?
I gues it has something to do with Germania…
Just read it here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germania
sp: Deutschland
Hello lakingfish and fighter pilot to be foxbow15,
I have been wanting to ask for this myself, but have resisted since it might not be of interest to a larger audience. I have done extensive research into this area, but won’t elaborate as Marina may want to do this lesson.
There are many countries with names that are radically different than what the natives call themselves, such as Austria = Österreich. The word Austria loses a huge meaning of that of the native word.
If I remember correctly, the country which we call Germany, has the most number of different names. Some of them are translations of the same idea, but in other countries, the name of Germany is or was derogatory.
What is interesting is the meaning of the word Deutschland.
Although, not widely disputed, my research points to possible manipulation and cover ups of the original meaning and that it may actually mean something else.
As Marina has said in the past, why talk politics which is divisive,
when there are enough political arguments in etymology.
Marina, if you chose to do this word, you may consult me and I could preview the video.
If you chose not to do the word, may I recommend the word Cologne?
ref: 4711. There is an inscription on the bottle that 98% of the Germans probably don’t know about. Love word origins and history.
Maia Marina new words request: profunditya angiospermous caoutchoue
