Homework: The answer, which president brought the tomato back to america is – Thomas Jefferson. It is said, that he had sent some seeds to America, after he had eaten tomatos, when he had been in Paris.
And honestly, I didn´t read the other comments before.
I grew this cherry tomatoed
my buddy John(toilet), made the video 
it is right to expect a hangover after this new world 
0….oh…awsum….jefferson, patent[word request], with apple of love……latin 
Muscule of Love
It is originally Tomatl. That’s also the present word in Nahuatl.
TOMATL —–> TOMATE —-> TOMATO
don’t know if they are afrodisiacs. I don’t think so. But It is well known that tomatoes are good for the taste of the semen
afrodisiac.
Nahuatl being the language of the Aztecs of Mexico.
“Tomato” used to be slang for a beautiful woman. E.g., a generation or two ago, Marina might have been called a “tomato”.
“aphrodisiac” comes from Aphrodite, Greek goddess of love.
Hi Marina! Here’s great quote for this lesson: “Only two things money can’t buy, that’s true love and homegrown tomatoes!” It’s a song sung by Guy Clark. Here’s link to the song if you have never heard it before: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nitgmAInI18 I think it’s a great little song!
By the way, I love homegrown TOMATOES!!!!
first one didn’t work tomato

Hi Marina:
Good to know that the origin is from the spanish word tomate. On the other hand I would like that you look for the spanish word GRINGO. Finally, you look gorgeous, lovely and pretty with your red dress. Also a final request.. Please let your hair grow longer. You look fantastioc with long hair.
Akiss for you and thanks for your efforts to educate us.
Peachy!
love the way you say tomato
TOMATOES ARE NOT GOLDEN APPLES
1
The expression golden apple comes from pomme d’or in french
2
Pomme d’or is traduction of pomodoro, italian evolved from latin
3
The latins took it from a legend of ancient greece
4
The legend said that far away crossing the seas (mediterranean sea)
existed some trees sent by the gods which fruit, similar to an apple, was made of gold
5
Because of the tree, the flowers and the fruits assembled to apples,
greeks called this fruits, the golden apples
6
Later, when they reached the east spanish coasts, in 5th-4th century B.C. found them, and realized that these fruits were not apples.
7
Tomatoes were brought to europe in the 16th century
So tomatoes couldn’t be that golden apples
Maybe the pomme d’amour
But that happened a lot of centuries later
¿¿COULD ANYONE GUESS WHAT FRUIT WAS THAT …
GOLDEN APPLE??
AND GREAT JOB MARINA
I ONLY TRIED TO HELP
YOU THE BEST
Thomas Jefferson
Hi Marina,
I saw your video on how people use to think that tomatoes were considered poisonous. When I was a kid, my mom use to say the same thing about potatoes. So it got me thinking that since potato rhymes with tomato, I was wondering if my mom misheard and told it to me wrong or if people ALSO use to consider potatoes poisonous? This may sound like a stupid question, but I am seriously confused. I don’t know how many people out there can relate or are asking for this word. But could you post a video to clear up any confusion. Thanks.
I guess this is a word request: POTATO
I would like to know the origins of the word “Potato” too also why here in England we also call them “Spuds”.
Sometimes on potato plants you get what is known as potato “bells”, They are seeds of some sort and look like small green tomatos, I have been told that they are poisonous, this may be what your Mum had heard about.
Hi Marina,
I heard that the word F.U.C.K. is coming from “Fornication Under Control of the King”, when in UK on past centuries couples need permission from the King to make children, and once received the permission the house door was red marked with F.U.C.K. something like a “do not disturb”. Could you confirm that and maybe better explain this funny story?
Thanks a lot and best wishes for all
Sorry for my English and greetings from Italy
Dario
I would like to know the origins of the word Sandwich.
http://www.hotforwords.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif
Marina how did the word big and small come from I ask because I have big boobs and my sister says I have big boobs and she has small boobs so she says no no no i have bigger breasts and you don’t so stop it and that makes me frustrated 
God damn Marina your acute.
By the way, whats the origin of the word “boobytrap” ? Sounds like a funny word, but no perversion intended. Ha.
Get at me
Matthew
Marina,
Can you please find the origin of “Extravaganza”
Thnx,
Famousxblayzez
Dear marina. (going bacj to lady lou)yes it was a show in england, and it was about 6 months ago i found some more info on it It’s short for “Lady Louisa,” Louisa being the unpopular wife of a 19th-century earl of Lichfield. In 1867 while the couple was visiting friends, two young wiseacres took the namecard off her bedroom door and stuck it on the door of the bathroom. The other guests thereafter began jocularly speaking of “going to Lady Louisa.” In shortened form this eventually spread to the masses. which i retreieved from http://www.kottke.org/05/02/loo-etymology .. James xxxx
its so nice to have 2 replies from u they really make brighten up my day especially as people used to give me bad looks in school because I told them to say “wrote” as “writ” is not correct , a bit odd as im 16! Every time i turn on my phone now it says “I am calling for all forks to be banned!” Love that line Take care x
No I havn’t been the teachers pet. I am still hoping. The new video is up and posted.
That was a cool article on the loo James. Very good reading. I have a palm pilot just like yours that I carry. Cheaper than the real version.
Mike
Is that a joke? sorry if i being slow but i dont have a palm pilot
ALSO Marina as you said forks should be banned and are now probably sick to death of me commenting I decided tomorrow i shall film myself eating but only thing that involve forks, which i won’t be using. so its tiramisu for breakfast (eaten with hands) and what ever is for tea (eaten with hands) if i send you the link i would be grateful for you to have a look and comment xx
Yes James the Palm Pilot was a joke. I use a piece of paper just like you to keep notes on. Forgive me if it didn’t sound like a joke. No Marina isn’t sick of you commenting. The more comments the better. I would be happy to view your video and so would Marina.
ok then i will post an address when i make it.. My nan was telling me not to end sentences with prepositions when i was 9 then i started telling people not to do it last year then everybody thought i was weird.. lol. Have you been teachers pet before?
Shame marina did not bite into a Big juicy Ripe tomato….and as she bites into it ….some of the juice dripps down her front……..oh man…..my dreams………maybe the next fruit or vegtable she talks about we acn see her eat it……
the word i would like marina to talk about is Effect…..like Special Effect. Stan winston was like a hero to me and he died on the 15th june his work goe’s into terminator, aliens , preditor ect……great special effects man .
So……the word effect would be great ……oxoxoxoxoxox
Marina is this what you are going to do to us if we join your spy club.

Hi, I was wondering if you have ever heard the Southern Slang… Ya’ll, Where did it come from? Was it a shortened version of you all, and why is it that just Southeners say it?
I’ve asked this before: what the f**k is up with AtheneWins. What is that? Have he, it or them just figured out how to jack subscriptions with bots or something? I mean who wants to watch that, those……..? You can fill it in
I ask that question myself everyday:P and i have totaly no idea, he supposedly is the best palladin in Worl Of Warcraft, other than that I can’t think of any reason wy anyone would subscribe to him..
Who’s P foxbow15?
do I need to respond to that…
no obligation…..I guess I’m having a duh moment….
Yea his videos are crap! But I have to say Wow is a very popular game and he is just riding the wave…
Marina, my sweet, please do “by and large.”
Thank you!
I went to your UTube site and there were 90,182 subscribers. Ten minutes later its up to 90,191. What are you going to feed all of these people.
That’s a lot of Peach and Strawberry Crepe’s
MMMM yummmy
Heard Marina and the staff of HotForWords LLC are putting on aprons.
I have MY FORK ready
Humm, wouldn’t want to be Evil
and insult the Lady. 
How would you eat a Freshly Cooked Crepe with your Hands?
How about we Let Teacher Feed Us by Her Hand.
Remember back in the old movies how the star would lay his head in her lap and she would feed him grapes or crepes.
What if we want to bringing something to class for our teacher?
Should it be an apple or a love apple,,, or something Candy Apple Red?
I think she would love about anything from a member of her class.
I wonder if the deadly reputation of tomatoes is why they are considered part of the night shade family, along with eggplants. Some people still avoid them because of that but I don’t see why they’d be any harder on the system than any other food, except for the acid in them (heartburn, maybe?)
My daughter can’t ear them. It makes her break out in hives and her lips swell up.
that should be eat not ear.
capman – No problem. I wasn’t sure if night shade was two words or should look like this: nightshade. I just winged it
Your typo was far more interesting than mine (if I made one) though.
Yes it was rather funny her sticking them in her ear
Hey my teacher!
A word request. Can you help with the word Widget?
Huf, Huf, my dear teacher…
Pete from the FrequencyCast podcast
I want to know origin of word Wannabe.
Thx!
yeah……., could you do toothbrush to…. -.-
pfffff
Yea Foxbow you are right on the chicken feet (ie) fingers. I didn’t think of it that way.
I guess it all tastes like chicken 
Can you tell me, Why it it that I find the Spabish word for tomato differently from yours? The English word tomato comes from the Spanish tomatl, first appearing in print in 1595. I found this on about.com!!
Hello Marina, first time on here. You caught my eyes on Youtube and I share your interest in words and languages. You do a great job and it is all very interesting. Now, to get to the point.
The word I would like to contribute with would be “threshold”. It could be, at least in my opinion, one of the most beautiful words of the English language.
Another word I would like to know more about is “tranquility”, also a word I find very beautiful.
(Advance could also be a word I would like to know more about)
Thanks in advance
Patric
Patric – I like the words you’ve chosen, having always found threshold to sound lovely and also wondered about it.
Okay here’s a tricky one, Marina.
Why does anti-Semitism mean a dislike or hatred of Jews when, in fact, The semites, as a category of peoples, includes both Arabs and Jews. If so anti-Semitism is misapplied most of the time today.
Thomas Jefferson was the president.
They served tomatoes at Monticello?
hello Marina,
how about the phrase, tin foil hat.
thank you

I have Venustrapaphobia – fear of being eaten by a giant flesh-eating plant.

he he real nice…
i was just thinking about Mary-Go-Round, does it have any connection to Mary going round somewhere?
No, because it’s MERRY-go-round.
Presumably, you would need to be quite merry to contemplate going on such a ride. Another name for the same thing is a roundabout.
No tomatoes at this party but I believe Dougal was Kobe’s Great Great Great Grandfather.
Hey where the Captain, his avatar has been MIA for a while. Did he put to sea broken-hearted, or just go down with his ship? We all same boat there
He’s either on a charter or teaching a class some where. Don’t worry, he’s like Arnold HE’LL BE BACK
Good to know
Capitain Sensible
I was thinking about the expression “Gardez l’eau.” As it is, it means “Keep the water” (imperative). The French verb “se garder”, not garder (to keep, to conserve) means to be careful of something. So, I believe that that expression may be anglicized like “entrée” which in France is not the main course of a meal, but the appetizer! Of course, right, it is the entry course. So like this example, “Gardez l’eau” should be “Gardez-vous d’eau!”: Watch out for the water!
eau well…
how about chicken fingers? i don’t think chickens have fingers
If they did I would put hot suace on them and eat them
lol, they do have feet
you can buy them at like every toko lol, seems to me they’re kinda boney
man i hate the word “lol” and still I use it so often …
lol is not a word
Picnic …. in the spirit of the summer!
much love
Where did the word/s sadism and/or masochism come from? I believe masochism is an eponym, named after a Count or something like that.
I have been watching the Kill Bill movies, and both those words are used.
Sadism comes from the French 18th century writer the Marquis de Sade. Masochism was first employed by a psychiatrist Krafft-Ebbing who look it from the name of the Austrian writer Sacher-Masoch.
Thanks.
I am glad you answered that on LFWs. I looked up the word masochistic and didn’t care to much for it’s meaning.
my mum put tomatoes in a sandwich of mine today THE NUMBER OF TIMES I HAVE TOLD MY PARENTS I HATE TOMATOES!!
Now you can tell her they’re deadly, along with that darn fork!!
How does fingernail polish taste with your food if you don’t use a fork? I have seen some nicely done and costly fingernails polished to nines.( one lesson learned “9s”) It would be shame to find one lying in your shrimp cocktail.
they’re supposed to be real capman911
I don’t like tomatoes in sandowiches, either! Bread wettted by water of them really makes me feel sick! Why do they have to combine the 2 things that are not compatible with???
Here America especially the south we eat a lot of tomato sandwiches. There is nothing like a home grown tomato thickly sliced with mayonase between two pieces of bread. I know it’s not everyones most etible food, but it is ours. I love tomatoes diced up on scrambled eggs and no taco would be the same without cut up tomatoes on it. Sorry if this isn’t to your likeing, I guess it’s what you are raised up on.
I like tomatoes, but not in sanwiches, it makes it all wet and mushy :S yuk

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomato
“Its fruit is classified, botanically, as a berry.”
No arguing with the Wikipedia
Why does they call male and female beautiful and great bodies, SEXY? And why did they call it SEXY?
Is that because it arouses your sexual urges from the words sex when they see a “Sexy” body male or female?
Marina if you can, can you investigate it please.
Hello, again. Is ‘tomato’ considered a fruit in the US and Russia? Isn’t it one of vegetables?
Hi felicity how are you, here in America it is considered a fruit. Why I don’t know. It is grown in a garden with other vegetables and supposed to be kin to a potato. Maybe some one else can add some more information for you.
Oldpossium up about three or four comments has added this site maybe it will help.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomato
Tomato is considered a fruit, a berry to be more exact, i tought it was because it grows on a woody plant.
I want to request the word “roulette”, and by he way about the Russian Roulette, which is really deadly not like the tomatoes….
Great, Hitman! i also requested this already twice
i really hope that with your help Marina will be convinced to make us gift of an awesome video about it 
спасибо тебе огромное,всего доброго 
HOTFORWORDS!! Regarding your lesson on the word loo, nobody knows its origin i saw them on tv trying to find the origin so it could go in the oxford dictionary. the 2nd origin was on there but another one was something about a lady called lady louise. she was always going to the loo and i think that around the house the servants called it the lady lou and the name got more popular until its adaptaion now of loo. i think its like that anyway cant quite remember. but i dont think they solved the origin.
James
jamesington, was it a show in England that you saw?
I saw this too (in America) but I can’t remember the show. It was about 6 months ago.
Was the show called “Balderdash and Piffle” presented by Victoria Coren, where they invite members of the public to find the earliest recorded use of certain words for the OED?
Balderdash and Piffle! Where the “Fork” do those words come from and what do they mean?
How about the word “remember”?
REMEMBER is taken from the old French REMEMBRER = to take back together the members, the limbs, the elements of your memory.
The root is latin MEM-BRUM “limb”. Certainly connected to Slavic *MEM-SO “meat” but with another suffix. Modern Russian МЯСО.
And se souvenir–prefix sous is like dessous? Like the under in under-stand? So, to come under literally? Se rappeller is obvious to call back to onself.
Privet Marina
I don’t have a word request as much as a language request.
I am busy learning Russian… it’s early days yet, but I’m getting there. I enjoyed your Russian AK-47 video very much… especially since I could compare the English and Russian versions and learn a bit more about the Russian language in an engaging way.
My request is for you to pretty pretty please do some more Russian-language videos. I am sure we will see an upsurge in interest in Mother Russia’s tongue when you are the teacher…
With bated breath I await the reply to and result of this diminutive missive.
A.
Greetings,
How did the phrase “hood-winked” get started?! And where does it come from?
Fascinating – I need more lycopene!!
Hello, everyone. Here is felicity. Apparently I am a person who still has used a tomato as a decoration plant, bacause I have totally forgotten it staying in the fridge for many days. It looked like decking the cool space hotly. The color indefinable…… anyway, it’s still deadly at least in my world. Be careful, Marina.
why is a “blow job” called like this it is more a “sucking job”. thank you to explain and give any demonstration needed
I think the president was thomas jefferson
Why do we add “es” to make a word like tomato plural but for most words we simply add an “s” ?
Hey..id like to know the origin of “Indeed”
i say it all the time to agree with someone…but it would be nice to know where it comes from
Hey Marina, can you do the word “chopsticks” ?
I’ve no idea where it came from!
Thanks!
-seanimal
Can you talk about how some odd plural forms of words came to be, such as child and children or alumnus and alumni
thanks,
Jay
alumni is just its Latin plural. Alumnus is a plain Latin word.
Dearest Teach,
My fork stabbing a luscious killer tomato (however pronounced) accompanied by a dry martini (with soccer-ball sized olives) is enough to kidnap my taste buds (and my heart)! But I’m no phony so as I contemplate life on the throne where all men do their best thinking (i.e. the loo) I asked myself who is truly making a difference in this crazed world? You are! Thanks so much for inspiring us to embrace language in a fun and exciting and intellectually challenging new way. So I offer you this most exuberant encomium (now that would be a good word for you to research!) and ask would you consider something frivolous and light and with a background unknown to me? I was thinking of the word canoodle!
Your student, Quiggles
Origin of the word “zit”, please!!!!!!! Thanks Marina!!!!!!!!
Origin of the word “blond” please
Thanks !
Origin of the word sauna, please.
I think the president was Thomas Jefferson.
Про помидоры все ясно;-) Яблоко любви)))
следующий: слово чикса или chick откуда пошло 
если есть возможность рассказать, было бы очень интересно. Также хотелось бы узнать, кто или что сделало это слово популярным.
Дорогая Марина! У меня вопрос
it’s hot for word, isn’t it?
Thanks for the insight, ya hot little tomato….
I had this weird dream. Have you ever said that? I have and I know other who have also. Dreams are strange of course, they are limitless imagination playing out our desires and fears. So why do we say Weird? OK, this is what i found. Weird come from old English and before that from the German ‘wyrd’, which means fate or destiny.
So, are we really saying I had a destiny dream? Has the real meaning of weird been taken from us? To be replaced with a weird that means strange or queer. Would you please explain the origins of those two words as well.
thank you,
you are CHARMING
pierre
Dear Marina,
I have always been wondering what is the difference between the words paradise and heaven?
Thank you
Keep up the good work!
Request word “Banner”
Hotforwords must discuss it 
Dear Marina,
does “trainer” (or “to train”) have anything to do with trains?
I am going to help Marina because she must be overwhelmed with questions.
TO TRAIN is completely connected to RAILWAY TRAIN : the words are French. TRAIN comes from TRAINER “to drag”. A railway train is “dragged”. TO TRAIN somebody is TO DRAG a man, to pull him, to stretch him. But of course French is the descent of Latin and the root of the French TRAIN is TRAG-MEN in Latin where TRAG- is the stem “dragging” and -MEN the suffix meaning “thing being”. TRAMEN is then logically “the dragged thing” or “the dragging thing”. You find the same root in TRACTION. It’s really an endless story but so interesting.
Aren’t the Latin verbs traho and tracto? I can’t think of a verb root meaning to pull or drag with a t r a g…
Thank you! I think “traho” is the verb, which does not prevent “tragmen” to be the substantive, possibly. I confess I prefer Marina´s explanations
BUT I am really curious about many words! I used to be so before I found out about Marina noe week ago.
She’s like crack, one hit and your addicted…and lostforwords
Marina, I think it would be interesting to explain the tomato, tomahto and stuff is….
psst 
…movies
Also can you explain the difference in meaning between to connote and to denote; or connotation and denotation? It seems that they might mean the same thing; so why two words?
lostforwords
hey, u should talk about the origin of the saying “the hang of it” such as “now you’ve got the hang of it!”. thanks
Firstly, you’re awesome
second, i have a non-word suggestion: teach us about the history of languages; how greek and latin spawned german/english and the romance languages and why russian doesn’t seem to completely resemble either, yet uses a permutation of greek for its alphabet.
that sort of thing.
if that seems like its a bit off topic, then i suppose maybe something as simple as the word “question” could be interesting. I mean, was the inclusion of the word Quest intended or just coincidence?
also, thanks for the intro to cocomments – seems like it could be very handy
Hi gr1pp, I asked for something similar a few weeks back such as the meaning of Slavic languages, Indo / European roots, Latin roots and so forth. It’s a fascinating field with lots of intrigue and controversy whereby Marina could make many videos covering this topic or a themed series.
i used to work in a college english center with a few professors that would always tell me about these things. you right, a very interesting and deep topic
Marina !
You forgot to say that TOMATOE is a Nahuatl word belonging to the Aztecan language TOMATL. For further etymology mission impossible because TOMATL is to Aztecan what APPLE is to English, maybe a root by itself ?
Get over it I am Bringing it back to earth
You mean POMME DE TERRE I presume :->
How did the evil city of POMPEII get it name?
Where did the word “Noob” come from? seriously!!!
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!!!
It’s short for nubile.
No, it is short for newbee which is slang for someone who is new to something. Online gamers seem to be the ones who shortened it to ‘noobs’
I wrote an article called ‘the noobs’
http://www.huntingclub.com/Projects/Project.aspx?id=117660
Lets throw a pig on the barbie. Very nice article. My cousan hunts out in the west. He is or used to be a guide for hunting parties. He also wrote articles in different magazines as you have. I have never met him, but have read some of his articles. His name is Dick Idol. Good hunting Geronimo.
It might be time for a name change…..but thats just me.
what is the origin of the word zucchini ????????
steve dawson
Not sure what president and I know my history pretty well….could you do the origin of the word cat? Not sure if you only like dogs but figured I could ask. Also I love that you argue with yourself its pretty funny
Marina,
GONZO is my word request.
GONZO is a Germanic word. GONZALES is Hispanic but the Goths occupied Spain during many centuries and gave the word GUNDAZ “fighter”.
In French we had the word GONZE for “boy” but nowadays we say in slang GONZESSE “girl, garl”
I once saw a racing sailing catamaran, in the South of France, which had a huge picture of a reclining bikini model painted on the side, with the name “Speedy Gonze à l’Aise” (Speedy Gonzalez).
I thought it was quite clever at the time, but now I’m wondering if the model was a “ladyboy”.
Maybe there was an apostrophe at the end of “Gonze”, I don’t remember.
Picnic — a derogatory word? a rumor? a day in the parK?
suprstock, what goes blow , squish , pop , blow…… ?
Answer , A General Motors Corporation two stroke diesel engine.
There capable of running backwards from their normal direction of rotation, and blow smoke out of the air cleaner, and suck air in from their exhaust pipes. Its REALLY a commotion to see when it happens.
Sorry its more….. blow , squish , pop , blow, blow , squish , pop , blow, blow, squish , pop, blow , blow……

Yes, I am hungry. The one with tomato dipping sauce? Hmmmmm, I have never experienced that. It’s always nice to meet anybody who loves crab legs. Cheers!
billyb quiet?
Ummm…. teacher, lately you start not making sense. You didnt actually tell us where the word tomato comes from (spanish: to swell) but actually went on a wild goose chase after the pronounciation which you ended with a simple: “then some people startied pronouncing differently”.
mistress9nine, It must be from them birth control pills all them women have been taking.
Tomate, 16th century…it was in there, but thanks for making me watch it one more time. Never saw any wild geese but heard Kobe chime (squeek ) in there, she fitted (Phat) (fatt)…(what is the right way) a lot into that 4:21. Do you have any idea how long it takes to upload a 4:21 video up to youtube, well neither do I exactly , but it is a long time, even with highspeed or DSL, or even turbocharging.
I love Love apples , delicious poison, Yummy

Hey Marina,
How about the word “fascination” or “очарование, обаяние, прелесть.” So many people are fascinated with you and your helpful videos.
FASCINATIO is latin and means “sheaving” from FASCES “sheaves”.
When you are fascinated you are “linked”, “bound”.
Hmmmm, Tomatoes became safe to eat in Boston in the same year (1820) that Maine declared it’s independence and split off from Massachusetts. YES!
AND what would the teacher think if she was given a Pomme de terre for

HOAX
Marina, what about this word? Wikipedia says: A hoax is a deliberate attempt to dupe, deceive or trick an audience into believing, or accepting, that something is real, when in fact it is not; or that something is true, when in fact it is false. But… What is the origin? Thank’s.
But, what I’d really like is for you to be my Ginger Rogers, and I’ll be your Fred Astaire.
Maybe you’d wear Ginger’s dress from this video?
prospero811, just go bowling
They just don’t make ‘em like that anymore…loves it
What is the origin of the word “Synopsis”?
Would a summary be sufficient?
Indeed, good one.
only if we can see it all together…
oh, and as for your other conversations, i’d say they pretty much belong in another part of this Universe…all those heavy (iso)topics will simply coalesce to a moot point here..
What is the Origin of the SVD (Rifle) It’s in many First-Person shooting games. Please Marina, investigate
Marina, did you know that “tomato” is also a slang term to refer to someone who is in denial about being a homosexual? You may think a tomato is a vegetable, but it’s really a fruit!
So a homosexual in denial is a FRUIT!
Why does they call male and female beautiful and great bodies, SEXY? And why did they call it SEXY?
Is that because it arouses your sexual urges from the words sex when they see a “Sexy” body male or female?
Marina if you can, can you investigate it please.
REALLY?
yay 125th! Jealous Panda?
Lets throw tomatoes at him and get his white fur all red.
Since he doesn’t like the red fruit. 
C’mon Marina , please investigate the word ” waiter ” .
HI there,
What about the word “Emplor” which I can’t even find in the dictionary! As in “I emplor you to learn more about words”.
Thanks!
Donivan
‘er…you can’t find it because it’s “implore”…
sources say it’s from the latin implōrāre “to invoke with tears”…
i weep, sometimes…
Go ahead and cry. We’re here for moral and emotional support as well as learning somethig new.
Hi Marina!
I was wondering if you could look up the origin of “pocketbook” and why we refer to a ladies purse as such… they look nothing like a pocket or a book!
Thanks!

let’s see, John Chapman is known by another name and lived during the time of President Thomas Jefferson. so I’ll go with the second name, even though his nickname never was, Tommy Tomatoseed.
I want to know the origin of the word “maximum.”
Hmmm…a couple of points & a correction:
1) HW first: Thomas Jefferson, well-known as both an experimental farmer & a president, is said to have helped popularize tomatoes in the US, growing them at Monticello;
2) the tomato is botanically a fruit, and because of this a crafty importer tried to get around a tax imposed on vegetables imported to the US. The Supreme Court ruled against the importer because tomatoes not eaten as dessert food, thus designating the tomato as a vegetable for commerce;
3) also botanically, tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum, falls into the same plant family, Solanaceae, as the poisonous deadly nightshade, Atropa belladonna, and the tomato plants look enough like nightshade to account for the reluctance on the part of people to try the fruits;
4) the correction: everything I read says that the person who ate the tomatoes in Salem was Colonel Robert Gibbon Johnson.
now, why are women sometimes called “hot tomatoes”
…
+HELLO+
good question anuddermale
has anyone heard of “hot tamale” being described as sexy/fiesty?
(i.e “She is one hot tamale”)
yep, that i’ve heard, too…
and i think women are “hot tomatoes” ’cause they’re so much fun to squeeze…
When tomatoes are ripe they’re juicy?
OK, just for you annuddermale…
shit (v.)
O.E. scitan, from P.Gmc. *skit-, from PIE *skheid- “split, divide, separate.” Related to shed (v.) on the notion of “separation” from the body (cf. L. excrementum, from excernere “to separate”). It is thus a cousin to science and conscience. The noun is O.E. scitte “purging;” sense of “excrement” dates from 1585, from the verb. Despite what you read in an e-mail, “shit” is not an acronym. The notion that it is a recent word may be because the word was taboo from c.1600 and rarely appeared in print (neither Shakespeare not the KJV has it), and even in “vulgar” publications of the late 18c. it is disguised by dashes. It drew the wrath of censors as late as 1922 (“Ulysses” and “The Enormous Room”), scandalized magazine subscribers in 1957 (a Hemingway story in “Atlantic Monthly”) and was omitted from some dictionaries as recently as 1970 (“Webster’s New World”). Extensive slang usage; verb meaning “to lie, to tease” is from 1934; that of “to disrespect” is from 1903. Noun use for “obnoxious person” is since at least 1508; meaning “misfortune, trouble” is attested from 1937. Shat is a humorous past tense form, not etymological, first recorded 18c. Shite, now a jocular or slightly euphemistic variant, formerly a dialectal variant, reflects the vowel in the O.E. verb (cf. Ger. scheissen). Shit-faced “drunk” is 1960s student slang; shit list is from 1942. To not give a shit “not care” is from 1922; up shit creek “in trouble” is from 1937. Scared shitless first recorded 1936.
“The expression [the shit hits the fan] is related to, and may well derive from, an old joke. A man in a crowded bar needed to defecate but couldn’t find a bathroom, so he went upstairs and used a hole in the floor. Returning, he found everyone had gone except the bartender, who was cowering behind the bar. When the man asked what had happened, the bartender replied, ‘Where were you when the shit hit the fan?’ ” [Hugh Rawson, "Wicked Words," 1989]
…I’m really not this smart but its amazing what kind of ruse you can pull off with these internet machines!!
yay…pagedoll does know his fuck ‘n shit…
Oh.. thanks for pointing out the Johnson.. must go add it to video as an annotation. As for why women are sometimes called “hot tomato”? It’s because we’re deadly.. oh wait a minute…

Ps (don’t answer just playing)
Speaking of fatale, you DO know that the most fatal of your videos are the ones where you sit close to the lens and then lean in close with those “jeepers creepers, where did you get those peepers,” don’t you?
You have seen that too. Try to look away, You find your self staring at the monitor grinning like a fool.

Only fatal to your will to resist Her.
well, i certainly would be more than willing to take a chance on your deadly charms…

Interesting lesson this one. I’ve been a fan of eating raw tomatoes since I was a small boy and I’ve always heard the legend about them being poisonous. I wasn’t aware that the plant comes from the same family as Nightshade. I have to admit I looked this subject up after watching the lesson and found a site some may find interesting.
http://lamar.colostate.edu/~samcox/Tomato.html
I had no idea who the president was until I read through this article so I will sound off with the others here and say it was Thomas Jefferson.
I still enjoy a good cut up raw tomato with a bit of pepper on it. Nothing beats it for a light summer snack in my opinion.
Once again a stellar lesson Marina.
As for word requests, as you may have already surmised, I love anything Medieval so if you’re of a mind to investigate any words like trebuchet, catapult, Castle, etc etc….I would love you forever…….Well maybe not love, but I’d darn sure like ya a whole lot….
i love your videos. you’re hilarious, but you also teach us new things.
you rock.
This word request is for “fact”. Your Killer Tomatoes points out that many believed that tomato fruit were deadly because the tomato vine was deadly, i.e. “Guilt by Association” or imperfect logic. (By induction and deduction) the tomato plant was deadly because the vine is and the fruit is deadly because it is part of the plant. It is amazing that this belief lasted so long as an untested fact. So the 1820 demonstration described in Killer Tomatoes indicates how important to intelligence it is to test beliefs, or listen to someone else who has done it.
From the Latin “factum” (an event, occurrence or thing done) related to the Latin “facere” (to do) the history of “fact” progresses to it’s modern sense of “thing known to be true” from the notion of “something that has actually occurred” back in1632. As “the Facts of Life” gained a meaning in sexual functions by 1913 from it’s sense as “harsh realities” from 1854, the history of “fact” is rich with recent usages so diverse as “factoid” and “fact check”.
But even as important as “fact” is to intelligence, how does that make it sexy? After all it’s thought provoking history, “Fact” is a four letter “F word”.
I would truly like to know the origin of the word triskaidekaphobia or fear of the numbe 13 which seems to be different from fear of Friday the 13th.
Hi – just stopping by to say that the article about you got so many hits and interested people to see your site that I hope you are getting tons of page views
Today I had to explore why and how the fear of the number 13 affects people so much. I”m not sure why there was new interest in this but I had NO idea people would change their wedding date or plans to avoid the number 13 – wedding dates, hospital rooms, etc.
THat is so interesting about tomatoes! Also, there is a difference between the word for being afraid of the number 13 and being afraid of Friday the 13th but I’m sure you know that. I dream of winning Jeopardy from all I learn here and still think you should take Vanna White’s place on Wheel of Fortune.
lol…well, my ex-wife changed our wedding day to avoid conflicting with her favorite college’s (American) football schedule…
and conflict with a rival’s…
maybe i shoulda paid more attention then…
Hey… I love Vanna… nobody does individual letters better or has more experience, she always knows where they are, WoW… She doesn’t age either, or the crew does magic or something. She’s why I watch the show with my wife.
Marina has made her own universe & it is expanding at a rate that sience can’t explain adequetly.
As for the fear of 13, I always thought of it as a bunch of hoo-hoo. My brother & I used to fight over who would get to be #13 on whatever sports team we played. But after I had kids the #13 took on a whole ‘nuther dimension. A # to be feared, for when the kids reached that magic age (13) they were teenagers & would remain so for many years to come &… phew… finally, two have succesfully traversed from the teen years into full blown adulthood (I thought the teen years were scary). One more is pushing the envelope, (literally) he took off to Calgary for a week, driving, much to his mothers shagrin. But alas I have to live with a paceing worrying woman for the rest of the week, (I’m just a tad jealous, he’s having fun whilest I console my wife) I did offer to go with Him, but it seems I’m only a burden to the kids now. When & how did that happen? (I’m still needed when the $$ run out , or the car needs fixing, but am I that boring that they no longer desire my presence & ever watchful eye.Oops I ran my mouth, sorry… It is intersesting though I hadn’t thought about the superstistions being different, Fri13 & 13on its own. Cheers
They will come back around BillyB mine did when they reached their 20s or so. You will never be a burden here just a blessing. MIke
Great vid teach! Anyways, I have a word that has been bugging me for a long time. It’s probably one of the most common and famous words, yet I’ve never known it’s roots: the word “fuck”. Anways, keep up the good work, looking forward to more vids!

Hey where’s cha cha? Oh well another dime for me. Cha ching! Idots.

fuck
a difficult word to trace, in part because it was taboo to the editors of the original OED when the “F” volume was compiled, 1893-97. Written form only attested from early 16c. OED 2nd edition cites 1503, in the form fukkit; earliest appearance of current spelling is 1535 — “Bischops … may fuck thair fill and be vnmaryit” [Sir David Lyndesay, "Ane Satyre of the Thrie Estaits"], but presumably it is a much more ancient word than that, simply one that wasn’t likely to be written in the kind of texts that have survived from O.E. and M.E. Buck cites proper name John le Fucker from 1278. The word apparently is hinted at in a scurrilous 15c. poem, titled “Flen flyys,” written in bastard L. and M.E. The relevant line reads:
Non sunt in celi
quia fuccant uuiuys of heli
“They [the monks] are not in heaven because they fuck the wives of Ely.” Fuccant is pseudo-L., and in the original it is written in cipher. The earliest examples of the word otherwise are from Scottish, which suggests a Scandinavian origin, perhaps from a word akin to Norw. dial. fukka “copulate,” or Swedish dial. focka “copulate, strike, push,” and fock “penis.” Another theory traces it to M.E. fkye, fike “move restlessly, fidget,” which also meant “dally, flirt,” and probably is from a general North Sea Gmc. word, cf. M.Du. fokken, Ger. ficken “fuck,” earlier “make quick movements to and fro, flick,” still earlier “itch, scratch;” the vulgar sense attested from 16c. This would parallel in sense the usual M.E. slang term for “have sexual intercourse,” swive, from O.E. swifan “to move lightly over, sweep” (see swivel). Chronology and phonology rule out Shipley’s attempt to derive it from M.E. firk “to press hard, beat.” As a noun, it dates from 1680. French foutre and Italian fottere look like the Eng. word but are unrelated, derived rather from L. futuere, which is perhaps from PIE base *bhau(t)- “knock, strike off,” extended via a figurative use “from the sexual application of violent action” [Shipley; cf. the sexual slang use of bang, etc.]. Popular and Internet derivations from acronyms (and the “pluck yew” fable) are merely ingenious trifling. The O.E. word was hæman, from ham “dwelling, home,” with a sense of “take home, co-habit.” Fuck was outlawed in print in England (by the Obscene Publications Act, 1857) and the U.S. (by the Comstock Act, 1873). The word may have been shunned in print, but it continued in conversation, especially among soldiers during WWI.
“It became so common that an effective way for the soldier to express this emotion was to omit this word. Thus if a sergeant said, ‘Get your —-ing rifles!’ it was understood as a matter of routine. But if he said ‘Get your rifles!’ there was an immediate implication of urgency and danger.” [John Brophy, "Songs and Slang of the British Soldier: 1914-1918," pub. 1930]
The legal barriers broke down in the 20th century, with the “Ulysses” decision (U.S., 1933) and “Lady Chatterley’s Lover” (U.S., 1959; U.K., 1960). Johnson excluded the word, and fuck wasn’t in a single English language dictionary from 1795 to 1965. “The Penguin Dictionary” broke the taboo in the latter year. Houghton Mifflin followed, in 1969, with “The American Heritage Dictionary,” but it also published a “Clean Green” edition without the word, to assure itself access to the lucrative public high school market. The abbreviation F (or eff) probably began as euphemistic, but by 1943 it was being used as a cuss word, too. In 1948, the publishers of “The Naked and the Dead” persuaded Norman Mailer to use the euphemism fug instead. When Mailer later was introduced to Dorothy Parker, she greeted him with, “So you’re the man who can’t spell ‘fuck’ ” [The quip sometimes is attributed to Tallulah Bankhead]. Hemingway used muck in “For whom the Bell Tolls” (1940). The major breakthrough in publication was James Jones’ “From Here to Eternity” (1950), with 50 fucks (down from 258 in the original manuscript). Egyptian legal agreements from the 23rd Dynasty (749-21 B.C.E.) frequently include the phrase, “If you do not obey this decree, may a donkey copulate with you!” [Reinhold Aman, "Maledicta," Summer 1977]. Intensive form mother-fucker suggested from 1928; motherfucking is from 1933. Fuck-all “nothing” first recorded 1960. Verbal phrase fuck up “to ruin, spoil, destroy” first attested c.1916. A widespread group of Slavic words (cf. Pol. pierdolić) can mean both “fornicate” and “make a mistake.” Flying fuck originally meant “have sex on horseback” and is first attested c.1800 in broadside ballad “New Feats of Horsemanship.” For the unkillable urban legend that this word is an acronym of some sort (a fiction traceable on the Internet to 1995 but probably predating that) see here, and also here.
nookie
“sexual activity,” 1928, perhaps from Du. neuken “to fuck.”
frig
“to move about restlessly,” c.1460, perhaps a variant of frisk (q.v.). As a euphemism for “to fuck” or “to masturbate” it dates from 1598.

Very good lesson, dear teacher !
As always when you investigate a word used in the cooking sphere, I’m delighed ! Tomato is such a delicious fruit, I always wondered why we don’t call them ‘pommes d’or’ in French, since they are soo Italian now I know… thanks to you.
May be you should try recording with the cam at your altitude (instead of slightly above ) -just an idea to be tried- maybe would make us feel more kind of ‘discussing words’ with you ?
One is “SEXY” what does that really mean…
The second one is “Gangster”. Please help me…

O alright thanks
I was wondering if you could not so much tell me about a word but why we do certain things to words? This is what I want to know: my friend and I tend to makeup short forms of words, for example: ‘dece’ for ‘decent’ and ‘actch’ for ‘actual’ or ‘actually’ and it seems that this really takes off with people around town, I hear many people using these short forms that me and my friend pretty much started here. So that makes me wonder, why do we make up new short forms for words? Do we just like the way they sound?
If you could figure that out that would be greatly appreciated for we both have been wondering why people love to adapt to our new short formed terms.
Your Student Ryan Grant.
Something to do perhaps. Most people cannot just sit around and do nothing all day. People got to get up off their derrière’s and find something to eat for the day if they live in a third world part of the world, and if they happen to be lucky enough to have been born into wealth …? well these type of folks basically just like tennis and golf to wile away the hours of otherwise boredom.
Basically gmoney, it’s to stifle boredom why people do what they do.
Well I knew that much lol, but there must be a historical reference to this.
Hence why languages evolve and new ones sprout up.
It is very curious and interesting to see how tomato was just food for highly educated people still at the time of president Jefferson while for instance in Italy tomatoes were already mentioned in a recipes book dating back to 1692. it is also very interesting to compare both history and etymology of TOMATO with the other famous vegetable POTATO,you will realize that they are sooo similar,they really share the same background and pretty the same history

Hello Marina,
Is there an issue with the Gravatars on this HFW site? My gravatar does not show up when I originate a comment, but shows up as a reply.
Bob’s gravatar has a clickable gravatar when he originates, but not in the reply, and his name is not clickable. Something funny is going on or I didn’t get the memo.
I know you are falling behind… take your time….
I changed the gravatars to a caching system as everyone was complaining that they were taking too long to load.. but maybe that has messed things up! Hmmm.. I cam always go back to the original setup.
Should be fixed now… went back to old system. No caching.. oh well.
pedantickarl , what happened to your gravatar, looks like someone through a bucket of grey paint on it?
Thanks Marina, you are the best!!!
Yes, the gravatar is back. Caching is always a good idea, and maybe the Gravatar / HFW tech folks can get a fix on that.
Just a quick note. I have never had problem with your HFW site, and it has always performed very well for me. In fact it is one of the better performing site over many others. Kisses!!
+oooooh+ yeah it hurts
Green tomatoes can still be deadly as the fruit hasn’t ripened yet, once the fruit is ripened, all the toxin should be gone from the fruit. However with the commercial process used to hasten the fruit to market, artificial ripening of the fruit may leave a small amount of the toxin in the fruit which could build up over time and cause problems.
Hey stokesjrj1, thanks for the green tomato info. Then, there is also green fried tomatoes.

hello!
i would like to request a word
miss hotforwords
can you please this word……..
fuck
where did this word come from
did it mean something before this
was it good and then turned into a bad word
if you could please investigate id appreciate it
keep up what you do your amazing!
A lot of first timer’s ask this question. I mean, a LOT of first timer’s
ask this. Every day and night, first timer’s ask this question. Over
and over and over. Again, and again, and again, and again, there
is no cure?
Do you REALLY got it bad to know this word origin???
This word is THAT fascinating to you??
Stick around and you will see this word requested by many others,
today, tonight – tomorrow. Boring boring boring boring
Don’t feel singled out, not picking on you. Like i said, stick around
long enough and you’ll see it, too. Usually, people who ask this
do not visit, again. So be different!
Maybe you can think of another word?
Try a word a big person would use
Is it worth the effort, melikadothechacha?
Another dime for me. If people are really so curious, why don’t they just look it up?
“A word a big person would use”, awesome!

Homework:

Attack of the killer tomatoes
The tomato vine is poisonous because Tomatoes, as well as Potatoes, are members of the same plant family as Belladonna (Deadly Nightshade).
Huh? What’s the link between a poisonous plant and a beautiful woman–sounds like misogyny to me….
*not* misogyny, it’s plain real history :
in Italian Renaissance the bella donne used to absorb small doses of this poisonous plant to make the pupil of their eyes more wide open,
( mydriasis), giving them more mysterious/attracting eyes, like a fawn’s.
The say is the plant got its name from the ‘donne’
I’ve always wondered what was the origin of the word VAMPIRE. Can you investigate?
gathering is my word
So do we have to pay you to use it?
I give Her a 4.5 stars ,
No dog? – .5

I don’t see any 1/2s or .05 up there.
Come on you guys
Don’t make ME start something. I will, You know I will.
The Clock is sloooow. Ok? Here goes.
There is nothing between a neutron and a proton. So ” Nothing ” does exist!! uncontroversially
rrRat-tler
There is space between a proton and a neutron so nothing does NOT exist.
Oh for fucks sake. The space ( the distance between two objects ) means what? Space is not a what, it is a where. neutron->O( space )O<-proton
tryed : P
Sorry Teach
I look at the video again there was a dog +.5 New total 5 stars.

thomas jefferson.. coul you investiget the word magnanimous
MAGN-ANIMUS is Latin ! MAGNUS ANIMUS = GREAT SOUL
When you have a great soul you can forgive.
How about the term, “Getting your rocks off”.
Did report cards come out last night
You didn’t get one?
No sure didn’t.
Thats alright that was a good one. But we did get an answer on the report cards.
Well I guess I am just SOL
I take that back I am not SOL.
Got u! Sorry, couldn’t resist it. Please forgive me….
lostforwords, you think you should take that thing back?
No.. the teacher is falling behind! I will try to get some out SOOOOON!!!
No problem, I thought I had missed one again. I didn’t get one for April fools.
Well, you have a TA now. If you need a second one, I put in my application. hint, hint…
Maia Marina, I got a report card last night in a dream, some guy and two of his thugs came to see me , he was telling me he was the boss around this part of the solar system. I just whipped his ass and his two thugs, ripped the door off his limousine and then they speed away. He had a look of disbelief in his eyes as all this was going on. I don’t think he got the hint though as I was walking back into my abode there he was leaning up against the door frame with a shit eating look on his face. Some guys never learn, huh? Then I woke up.
Don’t worry about falling behind we all are capable of waiting for you to catch up.?
“soon” is a very diplomatic response…it’s postive and decisive, yet vague.
her dvds will be out soon, too…
Easy, Marina… don’t feel pressured to hurry or rush anything.
is part of a quote in my email, so be encouraged, you do a great job, go at your own pace & you will teach also patience, one of the most precious things to learn, hey I’ve
got a long way to go myself.
Teaching should be delightful, brat control, doesn’t seem to matter what age huh. Triggers (ak-47) & anchors (cp’n Jack ‘ll loan you some), working in a positive direction… keeping it fun for you too Marina, you are delightful, so be delighted. cheers
I also didn’t get one
Don’t worry she is working on that. I think she has some fixes in the works.
5th and 6th
Must have been Jefferson, no?
He lived in Paris during the first years of the Revolution–French one, model for the Russian one!
Good guess!
It’s a trick queation
Didn’t the Tomate [tomato] start out in the New World?
I mean did it ever leave? or just become out of vogue?
Like veraciousness and morality.
Well spotted, roadrunrnch,
According to Wikipedia they probably originated in the western highlands of South America and were grown by the Aztecs.
Bob really, please! 4th
turd!
2nd
Glad to see you’re still here, mate.
Like I said thanks for the talk dad.
No sir, Lost for words just ask me if I got one as though he did. I don’t know if they came out or not
I need to go find my bike.
You’re very welcome – hope it helps. Remember, the space between an event and you producing a reaction to it is never so small that you don’t have the opportunity to make a choice about how you will react.
If your head is getting hot, just drink from your firehose.
About the report cards, I didn’t get one; your not trying to wind me up, are you?
Hey capman911, you drink a lot of Diet DR. Pepper? Doo Doo says if you drink too much it will make your nuts rot and the maggots will eat then them. Doo is just a cat i have an acquaintance with.
nice capman.
Hey Mike,
Thanks for the note at the Clam show. I couldn’t comment in that area for some strange reason, I logged in and I still couldn’t reply threre, oh well. I’ve been reading along and have seen some crazy comments. So I figured that I’d just “lurk” since I didn’t want to get so involved that I got into a word war. You had it out with someone and this time Bob talked you into staying- I remember I helped you stay the last time that happened. I’m glad that you did. Have a great day.
1st
i never really had a love for tomatoes, just bamboo
Hi Marina.
I realize I’m commenting late, but tomate come from the nahuatl lengiaje spoken by the aztecs (tomatl). Tomatl, however, applied to the small, green tomatoes, while for the red tomatoes, the word xitomatl (pronounce the x as sh) was used. These two words are still used in Mexico.
Regards,
HG
