With it having been Haloween week, I saw a morning Dracula movie from 1979 in B and W on AMC. For some odd reason I became aware of its Romanianness. Dracula was a slick handsome aristocratic ladies man. and the victim I saw looked like Marina in a way-tall slender graceful, long white Feminine neck. Curly light hair. It almost seemed like a olddball love story or a lust story. he wanted to possess the pretty feminne woman. He even hypotized her from his mind. And she was powerless under his spell. then he sucked the blood out of her lovely body and was dead by morning. I knew of a girl in grade school named Betty whose dad atualy sounded like Bella Lagosi in those old Dracula movies. I went to try to visit with her around 1993 and her dad opened the door but said Betty did not want to talk to me. Sounded just like Dracula in some of the old movies. Weird, huh? I used to think just my dad was werd.
They made a movie called BRAM STOKER’S DRACULA. They even worked some Theology into the character of Dracula. It went that his fiancee comitted suicide becuase she was told in error that he had died. And he became enraged at God and became God’s enemy becuase he believed his fiancee would be damned to Hell for eternity for killing herself! And he bacame but only in fiction sort of like the Antchitst in the Bible in that he had been a christian but then became an enemy of God. there are also lesser antichrists in the world besides old 666. I think I am being persecuted by some of them.
Chase, a vampire bodyguard you can rely on. Besides being dropdead hot and gorgeous, she has the skills to get the job done…and enjoys herself in the proces.
Maybe I used to stare at the girls in junior high a bit strange and it gave some of them the creeps. but one of them put about me in a makeshift eighth grade yearbook that TonyB would write a book one day about how to become an undertaker in three steps: First murder. Then embalm and then bury. And the girl had a cartoon of a dead girl lying in a casket!! Freaky, huh? I did stare at a few of the girls in junior high with lust in my heart and romantic interest. Maybe they thought of me like Dracula?? That’s a sexy throaty altered voice you made of yourself. You do have a bit of a [femme fatalle] air about you. I was married for seven years and did not harm my former wife or my mother. Don’t be afraid of me.
I thought that might have been some form of CIA disinformation about me-that I harmed women or was a danger to them. that will not run old Tony back to the laboratory!! that science shit must have really been unnatural to me. I thought of it like my dad’s skilled trade. Some think of their sciene work as a religion. I used to muse that some of them professors were like high priests of some science pseudeo religion.
Lord willing and the creeks don’t rise; the CIA has more important things to worry about than you right now, T. Not that you ain’t important or anything…

Dear Marina, I really do not wish to suck all the blood out of your beautiful white body. But you are so sweet, I could jsut eat you. Another pun. When I first discovered Radio Romania on the shortwave in early7 1990’s I heard them mention Transylvania, which is where Count Dracula supposedly lived. I asked them in a letter is there really was such a placa as Transylvania and was there a Count Dracula. I thought maybe he was related to some weirdo on my dad’s side of the family! Funny video.
I can see that there is quite a few comments on here from people who are maybe knowledgeable on the origin of this word, but like you said Marina maybe it’s better to leave it as a mystery, and oh btw you can sink your teeth into me and drink my blood anytime!
Yeah, I sure have. I was just trying to have fun with Marina on that post
That situation I bestowed upon people on here about an ex dissolved real quickly and I was frankly surprised. Yep she did file a claim and the court appearance happened last week, it was quick, I thought it would be months before making an appearance but to my gratification the judge literally laughed at her, seriously! and couldn’t believe she was wasting the time of the court with her claim. So I guess I worried about nothing, but I had some friends and people put ideas in my head about all the possible scenarios that could happen. But all in all she got nothing. The attorney I consulted with suggested I counter sue but you know I just wanted the split to be final and we go our seperate ways. As far as how it’s goin, there aren’t any storms, things right now are calm and that’s the way I like it for now. I’ve learned not to ask for much.
So I think I haven’t been coming here as often but I definitely haven’t seen you posting much, maybe things getting busy with you offline or taking a break. Sometimes taking a break is a good
thing.
I hope things are alright with you, It’s good to hear from
you.
THE WHO -I’m Free Live at The Isle Of Wight Festival 1970
Yeah, I’m good. Got a bad chest cold but that isn’t why I stay away. There are only a few people I care to talk to on here, anymore. I would drop in, not see them, and step. Too many on here using ten dollar words when one worth a quarter works. Its like reading a freaking doctoral thesis, but one that talks down to you! It used to be more light-hearted and fun but I guess everything changes. I just try to keep up with the few people I like and check out the vids.
Your right about leaving old girl alone. Remember: The best revenge is to live well. Take care
Bram stoker was a gadje, not a vampire. He embarassed the vampire community by writing that book, and turned many humans against them. In ancient times, vampires and humans coexisted peacefully. A vampire would mark a human or humans as “theirs” and that human or those humans, would supply the vampire with blood, and in turn be protected from any other vampires who may wish to hurt the human. I forgot the term for a human so marked…
Now, that rarely happens, because of bram stoker. Now, vampires have to kidnap people at the risk of being caught, or feed on animal blood.
Reference: Book: Vampire High By: Douglas Rees
By the way, where does the word “gadje” come from?
Gadje is a word used to describe someone who is not part of a specific group.
Syn: outsider?
Gadje is used as a demeaning term for non gypsies (aka. Roma).
Gadje is also used (in this case) to mean a non vampire.
Vampires appear in all the slavic folklore.As the woman from the video said,this word exist in many languages:vapir,vampir,upir,vopir.
In bulgarian “вопир”(vopir) i think that it comes from “во” (vo) which is archaic word for “in” and “inside”, and “пир”(pir) which is an archaic word for drinking.
“пир-шество” means drinking for pleasure.So “вопир” is affliliated to “впивам се” which has similar meaning.Therefore “вопир” is an archaic word for someone who is atached to something in order to drink something.It is used also for the blood drinking insects.
yes… Dracula was the last name of VLad Dracula III, dracula was the son of Dracul… which means dragon or devil. Dracula basicly means son of the dragon or son of the devil

I wanted to thank Marina so very much again for including my name on YouTube as one of the persons who requested the word “Vampire”–From the bottom of my soul Marina*muahs* and to Kobe too (please don’t bite me cutie hehe) love Mikey AKA WarlordFeyd…
I hope you do more Halloween videos this year. If you do, my word request is warlock. I’ve never quite believed the ‘male witch’ line that I’ve heard as a definition.
In my opinion the word vampire originaly came from romania becouse the first man ever called with that word is Vlad Tzepesh (count Dracula)
PS: I really like your prounociation of the word at bulgarian (Marina rulzzz)
Hmm… If Marina died her hair black, put on make-up to darken her skin, had a black cape, black pants and other formal attire, she might just make a good immitation of Elizabeth Bathory in persona. In personality she radically differs of course.
Marina – I’m not comparing you to Elizabeth Bathory; please don’t misunderstand me on that.
Marina… You mentioned Danmark and Sweden again, but forgot to mention Norway amongs them. All those 3 countries have almost the same language. This is the second time now Marina! You will have detention!!
nice video marina; but why don´t you try in the dialects in the latinamerican cultures, as in europe in mesoamesican cultures existed living beings which lived on the the blood of other inferior species like animal and which also considered humans as inferior, they were called NAHUALES in mexico and they were half human half animal and also they were guardians of the imperial tresure, in fact, some say that this beings still exist and they are guarding the imperial treasure from moctezuma II at the top of the popocatepetl volcano in mexico, the legend says that if anyone gets closer to the treasure is never seen again. i hope this could help you dear
The word vampire also spelled, “vampir,” or “vampyre,” has obscure origins, but scholars generally agree that it can be traced to the Slavic languages. But the debate over this will continue, since there are many numerous theories. The word may have come from the Lithuanian wempti, which literally means “to drink”, or from the root pi, which has a similar meaning with the prefix va or av. Other scholars would scoff at this, however, and claim that the word had Turkish roots, such as the word, uber or “witch,” or the Serbo-Croatian pirati “to blow”. After all, the word vampircan be found in the Serbo-Croatian language and is upyr in Russian, upior in Polish, and upir in Byelorussian.
Some scholars insist that upir is older than vampir, an eastern Slavic name that spread westward into the Balkans. Scholars who hold this viewpoint claim that the word was then adopted by the southern Slavs and widely spread.
No one knows when the word vampire or vampyre was first used in the English language, but it appeared in two 1732 publications
OK about “Vampire” and the dark side. Please consider equal time for the other side which leads to my word request for “Nurture”.
“Nurture” from French “nourriture” and Latin “nutritia” and “nutrire” (nurse, nourish, suckle) has much for which your comments may be enlightening to understand a working mother’s need for time off.
Many of us (guys) could benefit from your perspective. How is that situation handled in other modern societies, e.g. Russia?
Aren’t zombies also supposed to be dead bodies that have come to life? I know that vampires suck blood and that zombies eat brains. But… vampires are called the “undead”, but zombies are called the “living dead”. What’s the difference?
A vampire sucks your blood and drains you dry. It may also turn you into another vampire. The reason why vampires were thought to roam the Earth was that the dead wasn’t given the proper burial procedure to lay the persons to rest. There were also concerns of disease spreading from vampires.
In the case of zombies, a person was drugged, then thought dead, but really was still alive. The person went into a coma and came back, but was mindless and mute with less intellectual capacity than a mentally retarded person. So the person was essentially alive, but acted like he was “undead”. It comes from voodoo lore from Africa that migrated to the Caribbean. The notion of zombies eating human flesh to sustain themselves was completely made up by Hollywood movies.
Hey Marina. I was thinking about the word “lollipop” could you investigate where does it come from? sounds interesting. Also, how come people use the words sucker in an offensive way sometimes? I don’t see how this words is related!
Thank you, I love your show, I watch each episode through Miro. Keep up the good work!
ok she is the hottest teacher of all time . damn her students in Russia were lucky. hope she lives long and stay hot for ever cause she is a Rare natural hot love to see her in person love you marina shatteredsoul (in a student way of course lol )
I have a question about UTube and the fact that some of the people are partners like Marina. Does that mean she owns stock in that company or owns part of the company? Just curious. Any body can answer.
yeah, you get this cool banner and stuff and get payed for the ammount of views you get? duno for sure how that payment thing works, in return you need to uploud videos regularly and get a certain amount of views on those vids.
capman911, if you create a bunch of videos and create a following on YouTube you can apply to become a partner (www.youtube.com/partner) and if you get accepted, then you can monetize your videos which means an ad may appear along the bottom of the screen after about 15 seconds in for a few seconds. You will also see an ad on the right hand side of the video. Based on how many times that ad is seen, we get a split of the money that YouTube makes from that ad.
Now, I don’t make any money from the video views from this site, as YouTube hasn’t transferred those ads to websites where the ads are embedded as they have no control over the content of those websites and they don’t want to potentially piss off advertisers if they are advertising on a website with “objectionable” content.
@ RRR, I don’t think it will amount to much if you or I look at them. You need thousands of views to really make it pay. Purchasing her future products will make the most of your efforts RRR.
@ Marina,What does it pay now Marina per view, or is it all over the board? You have any idea what other Partner YT are making from their videos? Im not asking you to disclose what your making from YT, just what you heard or think that they are making.
I understand what a yellow dog Democrat and a yellow dog contract (or clause) is, but what is a ‘yellow dog fund’ and where did it come from.
I have seen ‘yellow dog fund’ used in two historical references to events about a hundred years ago: (1) a German industry-government fund used to subsidize product dumping against Dow Chemical, and (2) a fund at a law firm used for lobbying and political payoffs.
Hi HotForWords, I love your YouTube videos! They are educational and fun at the same time. Anyways, I wanted to request a word, and I hope you haven’t done it yet. The word I request is “chocolate”.
I can’t wait to see your investigation!
С самого раннего детства я мечтал уехать в США, начинал учить английский язык, и т.п. только вот все вокруг только и твердили “тебе никогда туда не уехать и даже если уедешь – ничего не добъёшся”. как же я был глуп, что слушал их.
ты самое лучшее доказательство “моей” правоты. Огромное тебе спасибо за то, что ты есть, и за то, что вновь вселила в меня надежду.
cwcurnutt, Some of us are trying to get her to do the word Flirt. I looked it up and found that there might be some interesting history behind it. Maybe our dearest teacher can enlighten us.
I have a word suggestion. this one may be a bit unusual, because I have not been able to find an answer and it’s a name. the word is: Dresden. I have a female friend with this name; and the only thing I could find was the city in Germany. I’m not sure if you would be able to find the definition/origin of a name, but it doesn’t hurt to ask.
I wondered that, too!

What you don’t think us vampires haven’t managed to upgrade ourselves? Modern day technology baby… it’s called nano-technology…. a special living layer over our skin… oh wait a minute… I’m not supposed to be telling you this! Sorry… forget what i just said!
A living layer you say…hmmm, bite your skin. It will become vampiric, a vampire coving a vampire, then you just cover that in more nanotech and before you know it you will be like a vampire version of a snake, able to shed layer upon layer of evil. why do this?…well if anyone should want to put a steak through your heart, which would be a shame, it will get the skin before you, and you’ll be saved. hurrah. the more practical solution would be to wear body armour but i think your internet hit rate might drop a tad if you did.
also, although it isn’t your usual thing, do you think you’d ever do a segment on collective nouns and their origins? there are some really interesting ones such as “a murder of crows” and i have no idea where they originate, but would like to know.
A woman never reveals her true age it’s said they always say their younger than they actually are. I would say Marina’s around 336 years old just by estimation.
Hey Marina and the rest of HFW gang. Do you notice how we carry over words from past lesson to our current comments? Is it me or is this slightly fascinating?
Teacher is giving us the knowledge, and like good students, we are integrating the new words into our vocabularies.
Just goes to show how effective a teacher Marina is.
Yes I can’t tell you enough how Marina has effected my language skills. Im now thinking of writing some poetry. I jotted down some observations last night and was thinking how to make a poem about it.
Just a blurb while I eat happy clams,
with my evil fork and tomatoes with
my clammy hands. Hope I don’t get

Funny that you should ask about this, foxbow15, because the Oxford English Dictionary defines “douche” as a jet.
That is, a jet of, for example, water applied to the body, usually for medicinal purposes. So a douchebag would presumably be a bag for collection of the … ummm … substances washed away by the jet, similar then to a colostomy bag.
I was going to say douchebage=phil defranco: agreed! What an a**! Une douche: the French for a shower. Se doucher, to shower. Se faire doucher, to get soaked by someone/something.
Well if I had to choose between Phil and Athena. I would watch Phil. Athena is the Douche bag of the year. I was annoyed with Phil because he blurts out so very fast you don’t have time to digest his words. Other than that I guess he is ok.
I’d like to draw your attention to the claim that BRRRam Stoker (curiously familiar name – a portmanteau of RRRoadrunrnch and stokesjrj1) was inspired to write his novel “Dracula” by a visit to one of my local landmarks, Slains Castle at Cruden Bay near Aberdeen, Scotland.
Bob,
Senility is setting in a ” portmanteau of RRRoadrunrnch and stokesjrj1 ”
This is obviously a Oxymoron.
Although The words need not be synonymous to be a portmanteau. Like [ misinterpreted and ridicules ] misinterpridicules
Bob you’re being misinterpridicules
Милая Мариночка,this is definetely one of your finest works so far.. It seems that maybe the most plausible origin of the word vampir has to be traced back to the Kazan Tatar word УБЫР(ubyr)=witch.then from Tatar we had our word упыр which gave to the Magyar language the word vampir…. Anyway thinking about Blue Jam café i immediately found something very interesing to discuss: the word CAPUCCINO,it would be so cute Marina,if you could invent a nice game out of it
Hi Marina, I have looked around for this origin and it does seem that nobody knows where it originated, however I did find this article which may prove slightly helpful
“vampire” is from the Slavic “vampir” or “vampyr” and first appeared in
the 1600s in the area of what is now Bulgaria and Yugoslavia on the
Balkan peninsula. However, attempts to trace back the origin of the
Slavic “vampir” are still under dispute. The theory currently favored is
that “vampir” came from “upir”, which first appeared in print in a 1047
CE East Slavic (Old Russian) manuscript in which a Novrogordian prince
is referred to as “Upir Lichy” (Wicked Vampire). Tracing the source of
“upir” and its Slavic cognates (i.e., upior, obyrbi, upirbi, obiri) is
even more controversial, fraught with many theories but little documented
evidence.
For example, Franz Miklosich, a late 19th century linguist, suggested
that “upir” is derived from “uber”, a Turkish word for “witch”. Andre
Vaillant suggests just the opposite–that the Northern Turkish word
“uber” is derived from the Slavic “upir”. More recently, Jan Perkowski,
who has done a great deal of research on the vampires of the Slavs,
also favors a Slavic origin to the word.
But even amongst those who lean towards a Slavic origin, there is
considerable disagreement. Kazimierz Moszynski suggests that “u-pir” is
from a Serbo-Croatian word “pirati” (to blow). Aleksandr Afanas’ev points
to the Slavic “pij” (to drink), which may have entered the Slavic
language from the Greek, via Old Church Slavonic. A. Bruckner proposes
Russian “netopyr” (bat).
Thanks, I already have my own page (and yes i did apply for teachers assist.) i dont want people getting jealous, people will hate me and say things behind my back
As you go through life, James, you will find that a certain percentage of people will hate you, whether you deserve it or not – you can’t please all of the people, all of the time.
Such people choose to do that rather than make the effort to excel on their own merits, so you had better develop the mental toughness to ignore them and plough your own furrow. Never let negative people stand in the way of your progress, or prevent you from shooting for your goals.
Just live your life blamelessly and with integrity, and you will attract more than enough good folks to support you and counter the gainsayers.
Listen to your conscience, treat others as you would have them treat you (including those who are unkind to you), and you will build your character so that you won’t worry about the envy of others.
Illegitimi non carborundum = don’t let the bastards grind you down.
Ha thank you, I try my best, but I don’t want to sound big-headed. It must seem a bit rude, me a 16 year old kid who has not got his GCSE results (yet). Giving word origins to a 27 year old philologist. I don’t want to sound cocky.
James – age is no big deal
if you got the smarts.
Chance favors the prepared mind.
So, does swot have some
negative connotation I’m
not getting? lostforwords’
link seemed to be more a
compliment, as I read it.
James old Man, You never know more then when you are young. ie. Young Guys know everything. You only understand how little you know when you learn something. …?? I know?? You will see,
Beware of demagogy , False prophets , People with all the answers.

Like Bob said,
1 in 10 just hate you and the rest just hate being in your wake.
I remember this one gal. I think her name was Dairin. She worked for Horizon Hobbies (They sell Radio Controlled model airplanes, Cars, etc) as a sales associate. She had the sexiest voice I have ever heard over the phone. Her voice could make any man drop to his knees as if he heard the voice of Venus (The Roman goddess of love and beauty). The store owner (Bill) was buying stuff we didn’t need in the hobby store. I asked him why did he buy such and such. He said Dairin called. Well that was enough for me. No man could resist the force of the goddess Dairin. No man… Well she made it up to Senior Sales Management in like about 6 months it seemed like. I met her at a trade show years later and the voice didn’t match the looks we had built in our imagination. But we didn’t care. Later we met up with her husband. We told him his wife had a very sexy voice. He said, oh she has you under her spell too? Yea about $10,000 dollar of merchandise we don’t need. We all chucked…
I’ve known several pilots who have fallen insanely under the spell of female Air Traffic Controllers who had sexy voices.
One young fellow even summoned up the courage to ask for a date with one of them over the radio, which caused a lot of mirth among those of us who knew that she was a 225 pound mother of six children.
Making love had until pretty recently a sense that had nothing to do with sex. You here it often in old movies or songs. “Oh yes, X made love to me the other day…”. When it shifted to a coital meaning and why I don’t know since it used to refer only to preliminaries.
Having sex is also bizarre. Sounds so impersonal and passive. You can have a cup of coffee, but sex? So basically, I would say we have to put both “making love” and “having sex” into the euphemism category.
seems to me if a coon-hound was chasin’ a raccoon and acted like it had the ‘coon treed (feet on tree, barkin’), but it turned out to be the wrong tree, that just might explain that…
Thanks pedantickarl. The attacks on the site seem to have stopped because it running crisply again, which is a relief. Who’s doing this? My guess is that it has something to do with athenewins….
I’m not sure who is doing it, but I would love to see the server logs and hunt those clowns down. Where is my AK-47 and forks….
By the way, the vampire video is still flagged here in Calif. Either you are viewing a cached copy, or my ISP is still feeding me the flagged cached video?
Too right pedantickarl although heaven is in NYC Clearing the cache took me right back to the confirm your age button, which really much of a roadblock, but still annoying.
upon further research….
The word vampire has its roots in the Mediterranean languages. The earliest reference to the word arises in the slavonic Magyar from vam, meaning blood, and pir for monster. Blood monster does describe the vampire on a general meaning. Of course, their is more to it.
If we go back to 1931 to Norman Lewis’ Roget’s we find the word-vampire listed with lamia and cross-referenced with flirt,coquette:(love) and also as plunderer:(plunder)
This video always reminds me of lots of woman, sometimes turning to sort of vampires (in the face) while hutscheyku.
Can sometimes be seen when you watch up, though I never ask what´s wrong, I always think it´s better to go ahead .
Any suggestions ?
(-.-)^
hi teacher ..they flag your lesson…
they are trying to push you down …but useless brain cant do nothing against us. hehehe (^@^)/
by the way …i dnt know the origem of the pizza.
,,,humm humm piazza? pitissa? piza?
i cant figure out…. help me….i know, i dnt love pizza like garfild but i sure i will love to see a lesson about pizza …can you cook pizza too?
what about …the garfild … your dog odie…and you in the sexy style on the kitchen … teaching us about and how to cook a pizza (’o')/
My guess is the haters are busy; I saw the flagging of the vampire video and shortly thereafter the HFW site was live, but stopped responding, probably due to DOS attack…
Hey Marina. I must say, you have the most beautiful blue eyes I have ever seen I was wondering, in one of your future lessons, if you could explain the origin of “masturbate.” I’m sure it’s very interesting. Thanks beautiful
A “Noob” is slang for a “newbie”, a new person in a given environment.
A “Toob” is slang for a new YouTuber arriving at hotforwords.com.
A “Toobation” is a portmanteau word combining “Toob” with “invasion”, thus an invasion of Toobs.
Therefore when a whole lot of YouTubers arrive at this site it is known as a “Mass-toobation”.
At least he spelled his word right unlike the one down the page. They should meet given their interests. Who knows, maybe it will lead to something mutual.
WE should just be helping these young boys. We as their elders need to keep in mind, They just do not get this information at home or even school.
And when the hair starts to grow and their ball drop, they start asking these questions.
Masturbation; ( killiansred86 on July, 12yrs.)
Is what is happening when you are giving Mr Happy that extra good washing and You get all tingly, Just wait until you get to Junior High and your Teacher will go into this in more detail. Until then Mr Happy is clean enough go outside all play. OK?
I really liked the dark theme of the last lesson. Very entertaining!
I word request. I would like to know the origin, meaning and original intent of the word marriage. There has been a lot of talk about gay marriage here in the states (Please people, lets not turn this into a right or wrong debate. I really don’t have an opinion either way and do not want to hear yours.), and people are claiming differnt origins and intents depending on which side of the debate they are on.
Thanks
Koby
PS: The name koby is actually my cats name, which was taken from a charater in the movie “The Usual Suspects”.
Definetely one of your best videos,Marino4ka. Thinking about Bluejam café i mmmediately found something interesting to request: CAPUCCINO,,,it would be so cute if you could make a game out of it
A very amusing lesson (as always!). You might take a look at your fellow academic Katherina Wilson’s work on this etymological research. She goes back a bit farther and unravels some of the mystery in Greek and Turkish origins. The History of the Word “Vampire”, Katharina M. Wilson, Journal of the History of Ideas, Vol. 46, No. 4 (Oct. 1985), University of Pennsylvania Press. Naturally, I trust you on this one
BTW, I am still recovering from the HUGE and DELICIOUS organic cappuccino from Bluejam. What a great place! As I went there yesterday straight from LAX arriving form Seoul I was zonked from the flight. The food and coffee were a wonderful antidote to fatigue. Come to think of it how abut a piece on the origin of the term: JETLAG? Remedies would be most welcome.
Thank you for this vid, really turns me on! Wow, to be caught in the mid of night with your fangs deep in me is just, to die for…..so big time sensualy seductive…..gotta go! (am I dreaming?)
-anyhoo, WORD REQUEST PLEASE:-
Due to a few recent changes in my life Marina, I have not cared so much about my appearence, kinda letting my hair down for a bit while I get new things up and running. As my hair is getting longer I find a hat is a very good way to keep the hair out of my eyes. Thought you could do some investigating into Hat Tax for me, can’t believe people were actually taxed for their hats? What’s the score with this, do you know please?
Привет Марина, I just found you and I wonder why untill now, ’cause your videos are very interesting, cool, and educational…
Well, I’d like to propose “Religion”. I once did a litle research about that word and it seems to be surrounded by debate due to religion matters and interests… So it wold be great if you coul shed more light on this issue…
I never knew vampire was in so many languages! I was wondering if you would be so kind as to tell me where the word “surd” came from. It means a voiceless sound or an irrational number in mathematics. I’ve also heard that a Greek or Roman goddess was called Surd and she was some form of evil that committed evil deeds for the simple reason of just for the fun of committing evil deeds. I’ve noticed this word isn’t in many dictionaries so any information you find would be quite helpful! Wow long post!!
Sorry to hear you have been the victim of someone else’s idiocy.
I hope you heal up well and quickly.
Maybe you should take the opportunity of any time off to study Defensive Driving.
And you weren’t looking in your rear-view mirror so you could see him coming and take to the sidewalk, and you didn’t hold your foot on the brake so that your brake lights would make it more obvious that you were stationary.
Boy you’re riding me today–it was at night, so brake and running lights were on. It was a two way street with two lanes per side. I was in the left lane boxed in by traffic to the left and to the right. Also, in Paris, it’s hard to tell the difference between some who’s going to stop and someone who isn’t since everyone stops hard in about 12 feet.
Ah! well! if you’d have said Paris I’d have understood.
Defensive Driving rules for Paris are simple – DON’T.
Sorry if you thought I was riding you – I should have put a question mark at the end of my post above instead of a Foul Stop.
My bad.
Vamp [Origin: 1175–1225; ME vampe ]
1. Something patched up or refurbished.
2. Something rehashed, as a book based on old material.
3. A seductive woman who uses her sensuality to exploit men.
ire [Origin: 1250–1300; ME ]
“anger, wrath, rage,” from PIE base *eis-, forming various words denoting “passion” cf. Gk. hieros “filled with the divine, holy,” oistros “gadfly,” originally “thing causing madness;” Skt. esati “drives on,” yasati “boils;” Avestan aesma “anger”).
Vamp- + -ire [Origin: 1725–35; Vampir < Serbo-Croatian vàmpīr,]
1…Resurrection causing Madness
2, Something made new from old as a gadfly ( A fly which bites cattle,)
Marina,
Reading some of the posts, It seems a lot of attention is payed to your back ground.
May be you need to make friends with some local artist and hang their work behind you.
Or put up a wall unit behind you and have people send you ( Via. P.O box ) Little nick knacks to fill it. Something new now and then.
Or just do more close ups. No one will be looking past your Eyes. *>*
LOL! Superfuntime!

a few colored eggs, too, maybe?

Chacha,
You would be the first to send in a knack, knack, knock, knock what ever . To see your little figurine living in Her house would just make your day. Am I wrong?
I would express to Her with great concern, that She check out each article for bugs. Some of Her disciples might just get a little cleaver.
Hey Meliky, I found the perfect video clip on Family Guy that has Loise bouncing up and down saying “Me lika bounce bounce” Its in the “Lethal Weapons” episode. I have it on DVD but I can’t find a clip of that part on the net. Maybe if someone out there can rip it from DVD and put it on YT.
Oh I guess your right. My bad. I thought the orchid was in the living room. I get confused when I travel from one parallel universe to the other. They all look the same to me…
The search for the missing

When you travel interdimensionally,
don’t you run the risk of running
into yourself? Just be good boys
and don’t cancel out the Universe!
Missing Gravitons? No! I said they don’t exist. No one has invented them yet. All the scientist do is smash atoms all day and never get a thing accomplished. Boys are always being so destructive.
I thought about traveling inter-dimensionally but I don’t think I can change the past when I go that route. I have a hard time wrapping my brain around this inter-dimension thing anyways. I guess I have to work on that more.
Hey there Marina I’m a new fan I just started watching your videos and I really like them. I wanted to ask for a request of a word that is so simple yet I want to know where it came from. The word is “Game”. Oh and there is this word that I saw in some subtitles the other day from this movie while I was flipping channels. It’s called “Einherjar”. Do you think you can help me out?

Are you alive & able to respond??? Haven’t heard from you in awhile, hope you get this in your email. Send a quick “OK” if’n you can. If not God speed …and care.
Marina ! I think nevertheless that the clues are in Romania and Ukraine : VAMPIRE has a prothétic V infront of UPYR’ = УПЫРЬ .
In ancient Slavic V prothetic is frequent : UGOL’ / VUGOL’ , UGOR’ / VUGOR’.
In my opinion VAMPIR in Romanian is taken from the ancient Slavic OM+PIR “the one who drinks/eats blood”. Then the word came international since novels were written about Dracula and other Romanian myths.
That word dates back to 1684. I think it even has a small connection with the word climax. Maybe we need the expert Marina to see if she can find anything of interest here.
I have been playing for hours. Even have the Eric Partridge {1954} book “Book of Usage & Abusage”, Wordsworth 1995 edition, off the shelf and open. Dame Orlova has done it — made words fun.
In space, the ISS is not just NASA’s beach house any more; Russia, Germany, France, and now Japan are all swimming in the same micro-gravity. My record/edits of Space to Ground are moving to http://www.youtube.com/309nmblonde
English, German, Russian speaking usaEnglish use “overstreach” in the dialog. Why? Is it a valid word? Made up word for the inside joke that is hovering in their dialog? Would you consider it. Thanks.
The NASA site that plots ISS needs to payoff the microclimate control freak in this area. When I want to sneek a night away from the R.O.O.M. haze (night: average 80% releatve humidity & calm) is there.
So, x number naked eye UFO — moving white dot, maybe I saw it twice with 10×50 binocular. Sigh.
I watch it many of times with the naked eye. Its a very bright light. Look like a jet flying overhead with a spot light on. I even had video of it on my website one day. Its very easy to spot. One evening I saw the ISS and the space shuttle the same evening. The Shuttle had undocked and was flying way getting ready to re-enter the atmosphere. It looked like it was 200 miles apart but I know it was much greater than that. Keep looking. You’ll see it.
overstretch appears to be used as
part of the technical vernacular
created to describe a mechanical
function or characteristic, albeit
is applied in this context to the
subject of language differentiation.
I enjoyed your vids – neat stuff!
Well, it is possible. I am thinking overstrain or overextend became overstreach. The Oberfuecken[sic] Contol Center guy knows language, listen to Miz Peggy and Herr Peter when the voice tone goes off script. Their adlib was for Houston Flight Control. Everything is On Mic except Privatize on ISS/Shuttle missions. I have some test vid @ yahoo video that is slowly moving over. They managed to piss me off with their makover of a fast/stable site. Told them which line of javascript to change and never heard back. Safari v2 bug. Along with other changes&fixes Apple released Safari v3 which I cannot use. Long story if I don’t stop now. Some say I start channeling “The Answer Bitch”.
I have about a 1000GB less whatever is on a dead 120GB iBook drive of video via NASA-TV, 90% in uncompressed form; special file structure that needs processed before it is viewable like the test vid. and then feed to, QT 7 pro or Final Cut V.whatever for edit and such.
Some of the off-script is funny. The goofing off time takes a hit once HD arrives by the infamous White Stork.
Thanks for looking & likeing the v0.00 vids
I believe it is just someone not too familiar with English, Putting two words together to explain his thoughts.. He could have possibly said, unduly, overreach, overrun, overstep,, transcend surpass, exceeded, over did, overextend. Or just drop “over” from the word to “stretched.”
I rushed to show this one to someone I know because he is a huge vampire fan, from Buffy to….whatever shows are popular now. I wonder why vampires are so popular in romance novels now? They seem to be trendy.
With it having been Haloween week, I saw a morning Dracula movie from 1979 in B and W on AMC. For some odd reason I became aware of its Romanianness. Dracula was a slick handsome aristocratic ladies man. and the victim I saw looked like Marina in a way-tall slender graceful, long white Feminine neck. Curly light hair. It almost seemed like a olddball love story or a lust story. he wanted to possess the pretty feminne woman. He even hypotized her from his mind. And she was powerless under his spell. then he sucked the blood out of her lovely body and was dead by morning. I knew of a girl in grade school named Betty whose dad atualy sounded like Bella Lagosi in those old Dracula movies. I went to try to visit with her around 1993 and her dad opened the door but said Betty did not want to talk to me. Sounded just like Dracula in some of the old movies. Weird, huh? I used to think just my dad was werd.
Oh yeah, don’t know if anybody else referenced this:
I love your laugh
They made a movie called BRAM STOKER’S DRACULA. They even worked some Theology into the character of Dracula. It went that his fiancee comitted suicide becuase she was told in error that he had died. And he became enraged at God and became God’s enemy becuase he believed his fiancee would be damned to Hell for eternity for killing herself! And he bacame but only in fiction sort of like the Antchitst in the Bible in that he had been a christian but then became an enemy of God. there are also lesser antichrists in the world besides old 666. I think I am being persecuted by some of them.

Dem gals are truly NUDE not just naked!!!
Maybe I used to stare at the girls in junior high a bit strange and it gave some of them the creeps. but one of them put about me in a makeshift eighth grade yearbook that TonyB would write a book one day about how to become an undertaker in three steps: First murder. Then embalm and then bury. And the girl had a cartoon of a dead girl lying in a casket!! Freaky, huh? I did stare at a few of the girls in junior high with lust in my heart and romantic interest. Maybe they thought of me like Dracula?? That’s a sexy throaty altered voice you made of yourself. You do have a bit of a [femme fatalle] air about you. I was married for seven years and did not harm my former wife or my mother. Don’t be afraid of me.
I thought that might have been some form of CIA disinformation about me-that I harmed women or was a danger to them. that will not run old Tony back to the laboratory!! that science shit must have really been unnatural to me. I thought of it like my dad’s skilled trade. Some think of their sciene work as a religion. I used to muse that some of them professors were like high priests of some science pseudeo religion.
Lord willing and the creeks don’t rise; the CIA has more important things to worry about than you right now, T. Not that you ain’t important or anything…
Hey tonyb: Lets propagate to MARINA, the HotForWords [lady] and –sister—to “Hot4[$]4Words”……….word-requst [][][][LUST][][][]….

Speaking of drums, here is todd rundgren with my anthem.
BTW I always wondered if it was him singing on Steely Dans “Dirty Work”. Sounds an awful lot like him…

Damn, that is freaky! I looked at girls like that, too(and a few teachers) but they never said I was gonna off em. Maybe the goatee scared them off!
Dear Marina, I really do not wish to suck all the blood out of your beautiful white body. But you are so sweet, I could jsut eat you. Another pun. When I first discovered Radio Romania on the shortwave in early7 1990’s I heard them mention Transylvania, which is where Count Dracula supposedly lived. I asked them in a letter is there really was such a placa as Transylvania and was there a Count Dracula. I thought maybe he was related to some weirdo on my dad’s side of the family! Funny video.
I agree, tony. I find myself wanting to eat M, too
I can see that there is quite a few comments on here from people who are maybe knowledgeable on the origin of this word, but like you said Marina maybe it’s better to leave it as a mystery, and oh btw you can sink your teeth into me and drink my blood anytime!
Damn, Vrock, I thoght you would have had enough of blood sucking women for awhile!
Hows it been goin, my man?
That which doesn’t kill me can only make me stronger
Yeah, I sure have. I was just trying to have fun with Marina on that post
That situation I bestowed upon people on here about an ex dissolved real quickly and I was frankly surprised. Yep she did file a claim and the court appearance happened last week, it was quick, I thought it would be months before making an appearance but to my gratification the judge literally laughed at her, seriously! and couldn’t believe she was wasting the time of the court with her claim. So I guess I worried about nothing, but I had some friends and people put ideas in my head about all the possible scenarios that could happen. But all in all she got nothing. The attorney I consulted with suggested I counter sue but you know I just wanted the split to be final and we go our seperate ways. As far as how it’s goin, there aren’t any storms, things right now are calm and that’s the way I like it for now. I’ve learned not to ask for much.
So I think I haven’t been coming here as often but I definitely haven’t seen you posting much, maybe things getting busy with you offline or taking a break. Sometimes taking a break is a good
thing.
I hope things are alright with you, It’s good to hear from
you.
Yeah, I’m good. Got a bad chest cold but that isn’t why I stay away. There are only a few people I care to talk to on here, anymore. I would drop in, not see them, and step. Too many on here using ten dollar words when one worth a quarter works. Its like reading a freaking doctoral thesis, but one that talks down to you! It used to be more light-hearted and fun but I guess everything changes. I just try to keep up with the few people I like and check out the vids.
Your right about leaving old girl alone. Remember: The best revenge is to live well. Take care
PLEASE BITE ME!
shame on me
now you get me i though our Upír is so far away from Vampír
Bram stoker was a gadje, not a vampire. He embarassed the vampire community by writing that book, and turned many humans against them. In ancient times, vampires and humans coexisted peacefully. A vampire would mark a human or humans as “theirs” and that human or those humans, would supply the vampire with blood, and in turn be protected from any other vampires who may wish to hurt the human. I forgot the term for a human so marked…
Now, that rarely happens, because of bram stoker. Now, vampires have to kidnap people at the risk of being caught, or feed on animal blood.
Reference: Book: Vampire High By: Douglas Rees
By the way, where does the word “gadje” come from?
Gadje is a word used to describe someone who is not part of a specific group.
Syn: outsider?
Gadje is used as a demeaning term for non gypsies (aka. Roma).
Gadje is also used (in this case) to mean a non vampire.
Am I wrong?
Vampires appear in all the slavic folklore.As the woman from the video said,this word exist in many languages:vapir,vampir,upir,vopir.
In bulgarian “вопир”(vopir) i think that it comes from “во” (vo) which is archaic word for “in” and “inside”, and “пир”(pir) which is an archaic word for drinking.
“пир-шество” means drinking for pleasure.So “вопир” is affliliated to “впивам се” which has similar meaning.Therefore “вопир” is an archaic word for someone who is atached to something in order to drink something.It is used also for the blood drinking insects.
The origin of the word comes from Serbian Language. Try to search for it. Here it is called vampir. This link will help you

Dear HotForWords,
Is there any Relation to the Words Dracula and Drak as in Dragon?
Your Student,
ThoughtOnFire
yes… Dracula was the last name of VLad Dracula III, dracula was the son of Dracul… which means dragon or devil. Dracula basicly means son of the dragon or son of the devil
The word is shrouded in obscurity but more than likely came from two words: Upir Lichyj…from slavic languages I believe.
Ave Domina,
Incredible! Terrifying! Gorgeously horrible! I am sure that after this lesson the poor mortals watching your website will be mesmerized and will suscribe. And evil will win.

Bram Stoker’s sequel was called “The Vampire Strikes Back.” It was inspired by a story written by George Lucius.
I wanted to thank Marina so very much again for including my name on YouTube as one of the persons who requested the word “Vampire”–From the bottom of my soul Marina*muahs* and to Kobe too (please don’t bite me cutie hehe) love Mikey AKA WarlordFeyd…
Hmmm. Where to put this?
I hope you do more Halloween videos this year. If you do, my word request is warlock. I’ve never quite believed the ‘male witch’ line that I’ve heard as a definition.
In my opinion the word vampire originaly came from romania becouse the first man ever called with that word is Vlad Tzepesh (count Dracula)
PS: I really like your prounociation of the word at bulgarian (Marina rulzzz)
You can have my blood any day Marina
My Grandpa looks like a Vampire but he is also very old…..I wonder if maybe he’s a “Grandpire”?
HEY !!! I think I just made up a “SNIGLET”.
What about us werewolves?
Hmm… If Marina died her hair black, put on make-up to darken her skin, had a black cape, black pants and other formal attire, she might just make a good immitation of Elizabeth Bathory in persona. In personality she radically differs of course.
Marina – I’m not comparing you to Elizabeth Bathory; please don’t misunderstand me on that.
Marina… You mentioned Danmark and Sweden again, but forgot to mention Norway amongs them. All those 3 countries have almost the same language. This is the second time now Marina! You will have detention!!
nice video marina; but why don´t you try in the dialects in the latinamerican cultures, as in europe in mesoamesican cultures existed living beings which lived on the the blood of other inferior species like animal and which also considered humans as inferior, they were called NAHUALES in mexico and they were half human half animal and also they were guardians of the imperial tresure, in fact, some say that this beings still exist and they are guarding the imperial treasure from moctezuma II at the top of the popocatepetl volcano in mexico, the legend says that if anyone gets closer to the treasure is never seen again. i hope this could help you dear
Is that like the chupa cabra?
And what about Czech? It’s “upír” or “vampýr”…
By the way – “upír” is pronounced same as the Polish one and “vampýr” is the same as the Russian one.
I did find this:
The word vampire also spelled, “vampir,” or “vampyre,” has obscure origins, but scholars generally agree that it can be traced to the Slavic languages. But the debate over this will continue, since there are many numerous theories. The word may have come from the Lithuanian wempti, which literally means “to drink”, or from the root pi, which has a similar meaning with the prefix va or av. Other scholars would scoff at this, however, and claim that the word had Turkish roots, such as the word, uber or “witch,” or the Serbo-Croatian pirati “to blow”. After all, the word vampircan be found in the Serbo-Croatian language and is upyr in Russian, upior in Polish, and upir in Byelorussian.
Some scholars insist that upir is older than vampir, an eastern Slavic name that spread westward into the Balkans. Scholars who hold this viewpoint claim that the word was then adopted by the southern Slavs and widely spread.
No one knows when the word vampire or vampyre was first used in the English language, but it appeared in two 1732 publications

OK about “Vampire” and the dark side. Please consider equal time for the other side which leads to my word request for “Nurture”.
“Nurture” from French “nourriture” and Latin “nutritia” and “nutrire” (nurse, nourish, suckle) has much for which your comments may be enlightening to understand a working mother’s need for time off.
Many of us (guys) could benefit from your perspective. How is that situation handled in other modern societies, e.g. Russia?
That necklace makes it look like you have had your head sewn on to your torso haha, love that vampire voice. very sexy
Word Request: jimmy, the noun and the transitive verb. Whose jimmy and what’s his story?
Aren’t zombies also supposed to be dead bodies that have come to life? I know that vampires suck blood and that zombies eat brains. But… vampires are called the “undead”, but zombies are called the “living dead”. What’s the difference?
A vampire sucks your blood and drains you dry. It may also turn you into another vampire. The reason why vampires were thought to roam the Earth was that the dead wasn’t given the proper burial procedure to lay the persons to rest. There were also concerns of disease spreading from vampires.
In the case of zombies, a person was drugged, then thought dead, but really was still alive. The person went into a coma and came back, but was mindless and mute with less intellectual capacity than a mentally retarded person. So the person was essentially alive, but acted like he was “undead”. It comes from voodoo lore from Africa that migrated to the Caribbean. The notion of zombies eating human flesh to sustain themselves was completely made up by Hollywood movies.

I’m a day late and a dollar short but: What about “Wamphyri” and “Vamphyri”? Or are those two just Brian Lumley inventions for the Necroscope series?
Hi Marina,
May I have a word with you please? …
Cockamammy or is that cockamammie? … No one really knows?
It sounds like it may have an arousing etyology.
MWAAAA xoxox Gwillikers!
Hey Marina: I would like to formally request the word—reckon. As in , ” I reckon, I’ll just head on over to Russia, and see them ladies for myself.”
Hey Marina… can i request another word??
Sorry about requesting another on the same time but..
I`m listening some “funk” music

Thanks again!
Ahaa Sorry for so many request ,but can you also find out where the word “Knockout” came from?
Ello Marina, Can you do a video about the word “Teddy Bear”. Was it invented by a teddy? thankyou.
Marina, My word request is the word “Hobo”. I’ve been wondering where that came from
Hey Marina. I was thinking about the word “lollipop” could you investigate where does it come from? sounds interesting. Also, how come people use the words sucker in an offensive way sometimes? I don’t see how this words is related!
Thank you, I love your show, I watch each episode through Miro. Keep up the good work!

)
I have a question about UTube and the fact that some of the people are partners like Marina. Does that mean she owns stock in that company or owns part of the company? Just curious. Any body can answer.
I think it means she gets paid everytime she makes a video. all the cool (but not as good looking) people on utube do
Thanks James.
yeah, you get this cool banner and stuff and get payed for the ammount of views you get? duno for sure how that payment thing works, in return you need to uploud videos regularly and get a certain amount of views on those vids.
Thanks Foxbow15.
I was looking into that myself. I think everyones questions will be answered here.
Thanks Jack
capman911, if you create a bunch of videos and create a following on YouTube you can apply to become a partner (www.youtube.com/partner) and if you get accepted, then you can monetize your videos which means an ad may appear along the bottom of the screen after about 15 seconds in for a few seconds. You will also see an ad on the right hand side of the video. Based on how many times that ad is seen, we get a split of the money that YouTube makes from that ad.
Now, I don’t make any money from the video views from this site, as YouTube hasn’t transferred those ads to websites where the ads are embedded as they have no control over the content of those websites and they don’t want to potentially piss off advertisers if they are advertising on a website with “objectionable” content.
So,
?
It would NOT hurt You if we were to CHECK OUT the adds?
IF WE were to read YOUR adds YOU will make money???
Is that what I AM saying
@ RRR, I don’t think it will amount to much if you or I look at them. You need thousands of views to really make it pay.
Purchasing her future products will make the most of your efforts RRR.
@ Marina,What does it pay now Marina per view, or is it all over the board? You have any idea what other Partner YT are making from their videos? Im not asking you to disclose what your making from YT, just what you heard or think that they are making.
Моя любовь, Moya lyubov(film)
Oh I would think if 200,000 would make a difference?? If all would view??

Word request: ‘yellow dog fund’
I understand what a yellow dog Democrat and a yellow dog contract (or clause) is, but what is a ‘yellow dog fund’ and where did it come from.
I have seen ‘yellow dog fund’ used in two historical references to events about a hundred years ago: (1) a German industry-government fund used to subsidize product dumping against Dow Chemical, and (2) a fund at a law firm used for lobbying and political payoffs.
hey
where can I find pictures of you?
Howdy! The pulldown menu at the
top of this page has a tab for

find Marina’s pictures!

I’m sorry but I can’t find it…
Hi HotForWords, I love your YouTube videos! They are educational and fun at the same time.
Anyways, I wanted to request a word, and I hope you haven’t done it yet. The word I request is “chocolate”. 
I can’t wait to see your investigation!
We all know , what “n00b” means. But where does it comes from. What is the origin ? Thank you.

С самого раннего детства я мечтал уехать в США, начинал учить английский язык, и т.п. только вот все вокруг только и твердили “тебе никогда туда не уехать и даже если уедешь – ничего не добъёшся”. как же я был глуп, что слушал их.
ты самое лучшее доказательство “моей” правоты. Огромное тебе спасибо за то, что ты есть, и за то, что вновь вселила в меня надежду.

Hey you guys are slow. New video is up!!!
Since you are SUCH a flirt, I suggest you do the word FLIRT…
Marina, a flirt? You must be watching another channel…
Please don’t go LFWs. Everone will chill out. Marina just laid down the law on quarrling with each other. Come on back.
Mike
Yes, go on, flirt with us some more.
cwcurnutt, Some of us are trying to get her to do the word Flirt. I looked it up and found that there might be some interesting history behind it. Maybe our dearest teacher can enlighten us.
I’m down for flirt, tease
all those things she
does that please
And lets not leave out ” Vamp.”;
[A Seductive Hot Woman who uses her sensuality to exploit men.]
So how do we go about this? Flirt with each other? Nooo… I know lets flirt with her comments.
What’s the origin of the word “Picnic”? Love your videos!!
I have a word suggestion. this one may be a bit unusual, because I have not been able to find an answer and it’s a name. the word is: Dresden. I have a female friend with this name; and the only thing I could find was the city in Germany. I’m not sure if you would be able to find the definition/origin of a name, but it doesn’t hurt to ask.
thanx;)
Word suggestion: Handsome.
Is it anything to do with hands? or taking one’s hand in marriage?
if you’re a vampire why does your video seem to have natural light? eh!?
I wondered that, too!
Gamma correction – 88%
from moonlight (1/10th footcandle)
to daylight/indirect (500,000 Fc’s)
Resolution would take a knock.
Maybe her wampire power
keeps her in focus – LOL
It wasn’t natural light; it was coming from the lasers in Kobe’s eyes.
What you don’t think us vampires haven’t managed to upgrade ourselves? Modern day technology baby… it’s called nano-technology…. a special living layer over our skin… oh wait a minute… I’m not supposed to be telling you this! Sorry… forget what i just said!
You don’t look a day over 20, Darling. Mwah!
Now why didn’t I think of that? Marina is very witty today.
Marina you always impress me with your wit. I am so honored to bask in the glow of your intelligence. You thoughts are nourishment for the mind.
Ah! So it’s “Blade” rules!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OFgZQabR3g&feature=related
Oh no she’s another terminator
I am now scheduled to become a nano-bot and I bet you can’t guess where I’ve applied for a job.
A living layer you say…hmmm, bite your skin. It will become vampiric, a vampire coving a vampire, then you just cover that in more nanotech and before you know it you will be like a vampire version of a snake, able to shed layer upon layer of evil. why do this?…well if anyone should want to put a steak through your heart, which would be a shame, it will get the skin before you, and you’ll be saved. hurrah. the more practical solution would be to wear body armour but i think your internet hit rate might drop a tad if you did.
also, although it isn’t your usual thing, do you think you’d ever do a segment on collective nouns and their origins? there are some really interesting ones such as “a murder of crows” and i have no idea where they originate, but would like to know.
Well, maybe she is a vampire…that would explain why they don’t serve garlic bread in the school cafeteria…
Shes a *,..,* !
Why are female vampires always so beautiful?
Presumably, drinking blood is a form of H.R.T.
I had to look that up! Don’t you think that would apply only to middel aged wampiresses. And since they can’t age, there aren’t any of those!
Are these “Interview with the Vampire”
Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, Kirsten Dunst)
rules or “Once Bitten” rules?
(Jim Carey, Lauren Hutton)
Middle aged and above – you’d never know that Marina was over 400 years old, would you?
I don’t look a day over 300! Don’t insult me Bob!
Otherwise ill poke you with a
forkspoonA woman never reveals her true age it’s said they always say their younger than they actually are. I would say Marina’s around 336 years old just by estimation.
So, does “vamp” also come from “vampire”?
Yes, according to the O.E.D., vamp is an abbreviation for vampire.
Hey Marina and the rest of HFW gang. Do you notice how we carry over words from past lesson to our current comments? Is it me or is this slightly fascinating?
Teacher is giving us the knowledge, and like good students, we are integrating the new words into our vocabularies.
Just goes to show how effective a teacher Marina is.
Yes I can’t tell you enough how Marina has effected my language skills. Im now thinking of writing some poetry. I jotted down some observations last night and was thinking how to make a poem about it.
Just a blurb while I eat happy clams,
with my evil fork and tomatoes with
my clammy hands. Hope I don’t get
salmonella-ella. For beverages, I
have Molotov’s, Martini’s and Coke.
Don’t drink the Kool Aid. I have to
gird my loins and head for the loo.
The Dutch lesbian in the penthouse
told me that a horny hooker on heroine
dressed to the nines lost her pink
panties playing soccer. The irony
is that the paparazzi were all just
metrosexuals on dope. They got
so many barbarians that day, the
cops had to use duck tape. Uh oh
it’s raining cats and dogs. Grab
my gamp (umbrella-ella ) and
call a taximeter cabriolet on my
Bluetooth before i have a snafu.
Good one Doug. That must have taken you a few…
Once it got rollin’, it had a
momentum all it’s own
You heard the expression shit rolls downhill like a runaway snowball
hehe , where does the word Douchebag come from
?
Funny that you should ask about this, foxbow15, because the Oxford English Dictionary defines “douche” as a jet.
That is, a jet of, for example, water applied to the body, usually for medicinal purposes. So a douchebag would presumably be a bag for collection of the … ummm … substances washed away by the jet, similar then to a colostomy bag.
Yeah
, i was thinking of something similar, because the word “douche” means shower in dutch…
………But it can’t be that… right?
hehe, i just remembered dany and lisanova’s spoof abouth sxephil and Hotforwords http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAhMJHat0cI
Word of the week=douchebag
I was going to say douchebage=phil defranco: agreed! What an a**! Une douche: the French for a shower. Se doucher, to shower. Se faire doucher, to get soaked by someone/something.
What’s wrong abouth Philip?…
It’s a matter of taste I guess.
Well if I had to choose between Phil and Athena. I would watch Phil. Athena is the Douche bag of the year. I was annoyed with Phil because he blurts out so very fast you don’t have time to digest his words. Other than that I guess he is ok.
How about conceited and not funny?
I don’t think he (Phil) is funny at all nor did I expect him to be so.. Conceited? Well somewhat. Athena is the conceited one by FAR!
It’s actualy Athene, not Athena
I remember that vid i would love marina to say todays word is douchebag and give the 3 funny origins
I’d like to draw your attention to the claim that BRRRam Stoker (curiously familiar name – a portmanteau of RRRoadrunrnch and stokesjrj1) was inspired to write his novel “Dracula” by a visit to one of my local landmarks, Slains Castle at Cruden Bay near Aberdeen, Scotland.
Bob,
Senility is setting in a ” portmanteau of RRRoadrunrnch and stokesjrj1 ”
This is obviously a Oxymoron.
Although The words need not be synonymous to be a portmanteau. Like [ misinterpreted and ridicules ] misinterpridicules
Bob you’re being misinterpridicules
roadrunrnch, ever hear of the 4 6s

Ya what about it????
Hmm he wants to fuck me 20 times hard maybe he’s gay.
Милая Мариночка,this is definetely one of your finest works so far.. It seems that maybe the most plausible origin of the word vampir has to be traced back to the Kazan Tatar word УБЫР(ubyr)=witch.then from Tatar we had our word упыр which gave to the Magyar language the word vampir….
Anyway thinking about Blue Jam café i immediately found something very interesing to discuss: the word CAPUCCINO,it would be so cute Marina,if you could invent a nice game out of it 
Hi Marina, I have looked around for this origin and it does seem that nobody knows where it originated, however I did find this article which may prove slightly helpful
“vampire” is from the Slavic “vampir” or “vampyr” and first appeared in
the 1600s in the area of what is now Bulgaria and Yugoslavia on the
Balkan peninsula. However, attempts to trace back the origin of the
Slavic “vampir” are still under dispute. The theory currently favored is
that “vampir” came from “upir”, which first appeared in print in a 1047
CE East Slavic (Old Russian) manuscript in which a Novrogordian prince
is referred to as “Upir Lichy” (Wicked Vampire). Tracing the source of
“upir” and its Slavic cognates (i.e., upior, obyrbi, upirbi, obiri) is
even more controversial, fraught with many theories but little documented
evidence.
For example, Franz Miklosich, a late 19th century linguist, suggested
that “upir” is derived from “uber”, a Turkish word for “witch”. Andre
Vaillant suggests just the opposite–that the Northern Turkish word
“uber” is derived from the Slavic “upir”. More recently, Jan Perkowski,
who has done a great deal of research on the vampires of the Slavs,
also favors a Slavic origin to the word.
But even amongst those who lean towards a Slavic origin, there is
considerable disagreement. Kazimierz Moszynski suggests that “u-pir” is
from a Serbo-Croatian word “pirati” (to blow). Aleksandr Afanas’ev points
to the Slavic “pij” (to drink), which may have entered the Slavic
language from the Greek, via Old Church Slavonic. A. Bruckner proposes
Russian “netopyr” (bat).
Well done James! You swot! Still use that term over there?
no, does it mean super waxy opium teabags?
single white other transvestite?
it is used here, in England, though sadly geek and to a lesser extent nerd are used more.
Excellent work, James.
I think that Auntie Marina has found her new Teacher’s Assistant.
Thanks, I already have my own page (and yes i did apply for teachers assist.) i dont want people getting jealous, people will hate me and say things behind my back
Swot
As you go through life, James, you will find that a certain percentage of people will hate you, whether you deserve it or not – you can’t please all of the people, all of the time.
Such people choose to do that rather than make the effort to excel on their own merits, so you had better develop the mental toughness to ignore them and plough your own furrow. Never let negative people stand in the way of your progress, or prevent you from shooting for your goals.
Just live your life blamelessly and with integrity, and you will attract more than enough good folks to support you and counter the gainsayers.
Listen to your conscience, treat others as you would have them treat you (including those who are unkind to you), and you will build your character so that you won’t worry about the envy of others.
Illegitimi non carborundum = don’t let the bastards grind you down.
slotforwords is one of those you can ignore.
Ha thank you, I try my best, but I don’t want to sound big-headed. It must seem a bit rude, me a 16 year old kid who has not got his GCSE results (yet). Giving word origins to a 27 year old philologist. I don’t want to sound cocky.
James – age is no big deal
if you got the smarts.
Chance favors the prepared mind.
So, does swot have some
negative connotation I’m
not getting? lostforwords’
link seemed to be more a
compliment, as I read it.
James old Man, You never know more then when you are young. ie. Young Guys know everything. You only understand how little you know when you learn something. …?? I know?? You will see,
Beware of demagogy , False prophets , People with all the answers.
Mocking a Bully is good, Even if He has all the support of the crowd.
If you believe you have a point to make, Make it. Point Man always take fire. Snipers with innuendos and or straight head on personal attack. Standing up will always makes you a target.
Like Bob said,
1 in 10 just hate you and the rest just hate being in your wake.
hey marina!
I can’t find “my” video on youtube :/
haven’t you posted the video for the word cup yet?
I would love to know the origin of that
One more question. If I ask you really nice, could you send some pics of you
maybe those model pictures that you can see in the beginning of every video.
best regard, lennart from sweden
Howdy! The pulldown menu at the
top of this page has a tab for
Shout Out’s. Look there to
find Marina’s pictures!
cool
HotForWords,
Can you do the word “Bluestocking” please?
I’ve meant to say this….Marina, not only do you have the sexist voice, but that esses sibilance is utterly devastating.
Vampire video is now un-flagged…
a little tlak with yt?
sexist, never ! SEXIEST
how about twins fraternal?
I remember this one gal. I think her name was Dairin. She worked for Horizon Hobbies (They sell Radio Controlled model airplanes, Cars, etc) as a sales associate. She had the sexiest voice I have ever heard over the phone. Her voice could make any man drop to his knees as if he heard the voice of Venus (The Roman goddess of love and beauty). The store owner (Bill) was buying stuff we didn’t need in the hobby store. I asked him why did he buy such and such. He said Dairin called. Well that was enough for me. No man could resist the force of the goddess Dairin. No man…
Well she made it up to Senior Sales Management in like about 6 months it seemed like. I met her at a trade show years later and the voice didn’t match the looks we had built in our imagination. But we didn’t care. Later we met up with her husband. We told him his wife had a very sexy voice. He said, oh she has you under her spell too? Yea about $10,000 dollar of merchandise we don’t need. We all chucked… 
I’ve known several pilots who have fallen insanely under the spell of female Air Traffic Controllers who had sexy voices.
One young fellow even summoned up the courage to ask for a date with one of them over the radio, which caused a lot of mirth among those of us who knew that she was a 225 pound mother of six children.
What a lucky dog!
Dear Hotforwords:
When my Human is not home I love watching your videos.
As a feline I particularly liked the one about “Hair of the Dog.”
That made me wonder where the expression: “Barking up the wrong tree” came from.
Would you please investigate this mystery for me? I would love to tease the neighborhood doggie about it.
Thank you
Purrington (The Cat)
Reminds me of a joke, A man and his wife were making love, the wife looks up at the ceiling and says red, red, i think I’ll paint the ceiling red.
Thats interesting. How did ‘making love’ associate with having sex?
Making love had until pretty recently a sense that had nothing to do with sex. You here it often in old movies or songs. “Oh yes, X made love to me the other day…”. When it shifted to a coital meaning and why I don’t know since it used to refer only to preliminaries.
Having sex is also bizarre. Sounds so impersonal and passive. You can have a cup of coffee, but sex? So basically, I would say we have to put both “making love” and “having sex” into the euphemism category.
seems to me if a coon-hound was chasin’ a raccoon and acted like it had the ‘coon treed (feet on tree, barkin’), but it turned out to be the wrong tree, that just might explain that…
The original was white,white, I Think Ill paint the ceiling white. Butt you knowsometimes things have to be adapted to correct a flaw
hey marina, I´d like to request the word(s):=FINANCE, FINANCIAL= etc.
Thanks

Vampire’s now unflagged…
Hey lostforwords,
Regarding the HQ video thing, check out this great blog. It talks about the YT video quality and format codes like fmt=6 and fmt=18.
Comparison of Normal Youtube vs Youtube High Quality
Thanks pedantickarl. The attacks on the site seem to have stopped because it running crisply again, which is a relief. Who’s doing this? My guess is that it has something to do with athenewins….
I’m not sure who is doing it, but I would love to see the server logs and hunt those clowns down. Where is my AK-47 and forks….
By the way, the vampire video is still flagged here in Calif. Either you are viewing a cached copy, or my ISP is still feeding me the flagged cached video?
Too right pedantickarl although heaven is in NYC
Clearing the cache took me right back to the confirm your age button, which really much of a roadblock, but still annoying.
ok…so who DOESN’T find the idea of Marina-vampiress a lil’…’er…
stimulating?…
http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q259/annuddermale/open%20to%20the%20public/marinavamp.jpg
upon further research….
The word vampire has its roots in the Mediterranean languages. The earliest reference to the word arises in the slavonic Magyar from vam, meaning blood, and pir for monster. Blood monster does describe the vampire on a general meaning. Of course, their is more to it.
If we go back to 1931 to Norman Lewis’ Roget’s we find the word-vampire listed with lamia and cross-referenced with flirt,coquette:(love) and also as plunderer:(plunder)

dear teacher i have three requests now.
1 getting a leg up on the competition

Help from the boys ‘n’ girls

Like the presenter’s look! Did you spot this in the realted videos+
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=No08dZH5fT8&feature=related
No translation needed there!
well, if it was really “wilder” times, they should’ve been spellin’ Texas
TeXXXas (…uummm…i think i’ll skip the other obvious part
)
but they did spell it TeXXas…
This video always reminds me of lots of woman, sometimes turning to sort of vampires (in the face) while hutscheyku.
.
Can sometimes be seen when you watch up, though I never ask what´s wrong, I always think it´s better to go ahead
Any suggestions ?
(-.-)^

here are the error messages:

The connection was reset – try again
Huzzah – we’re back!
My guess is the haters are busy; I saw the flagging of the vampire video and shortly thereafter the HFW site was live, but stopped responding, probably due to DOS attack…
Yes, it must be because it’s now responding as slowly as the day before the new server….
opps
melikadothechacha, not every thing is a mechanical or software glitch.
Hey Marina. I must say, you have the most beautiful blue eyes I have ever seen
I was wondering, in one of your future lessons, if you could explain the origin of “masturbate.” I’m sure it’s very interesting. Thanks beautiful 
word up!
Let me follow that thought up with this word request: Heaven
Thank you so much, Wyclef!
A “Noob” is slang for a “newbie”, a new person in a given environment.
A “Toob” is slang for a new YouTuber arriving at hotforwords.com.
A “Toobation” is a portmanteau word combining “Toob” with “invasion”, thus an invasion of Toobs.
Therefore when a whole lot of YouTubers arrive at this site it is known as a “Mass-toobation”.
At least he spelled his word right unlike the one down the page. They should meet given their interests. Who knows, maybe it will lead to something mutual.
Best send them over to the Maxim Radio 10th. Show page, then.
Good assessment, Bob!
I like it that you call ‘em
as you see ‘em and then
make up the rest! LMAO
See’ve got a new fc*ker?
WE should just be helping these young boys. We as their elders need to keep in mind, They just do not get this information at home or even school.
And when the hair starts to grow and their ball drop, they start asking these questions.
Good of you to volunteer, RRR, we hereby appoint you chief internet GRRRoomer to all the young boys who come here.
Good one Bob. I like that word “Toobation”.
I don’t see anything wrong with asking for the derivation that word. It’s a word like any other. What’s boring is a new request for fuck every day…
There’s nothing wrong with asking about its derivation, and there’s nothing wrong with making a joke about it, either.
I know I did too, twice, but only because there we 2 on the same page.
lostforwords – it affects us all
the same as you
Don’t mind the spitwads
so much. We’ve all taken
hits from time to time.
Newbie is slang for nubile.
Masturbation; ( killiansred86 on July, 12yrs.)
Is what is happening when you are giving Mr Happy that extra good washing and You get all tingly, Just wait until you get to Junior High and your Teacher will go into this in more detail. Until then Mr Happy is clean enough go outside all play. OK?
That would be a very stimulating lesson.
I really liked the dark theme of the last lesson. Very entertaining!
I word request. I would like to know the origin, meaning and original intent of the word marriage. There has been a lot of talk about gay marriage here in the states (Please people, lets not turn this into a right or wrong debate. I really don’t have an opinion either way and do not want to hear yours.), and people are claiming differnt origins and intents depending on which side of the debate they are on.
Thanks
Koby
PS: The name koby is actually my cats name, which was taken from a charater in the movie “The Usual Suspects”.
Definetely one of your best videos,Marino4ka. Thinking about Bluejam café i mmmediately found something interesting to request: CAPUCCINO,,,it would be so cute if you could make a game out of it
thanks Marina
from dark knight
Dearest Teach,
A very amusing lesson (as always!). You might take a look at your fellow academic Katherina Wilson’s work on this etymological research. She goes back a bit farther and unravels some of the mystery in Greek and Turkish origins. The History of the Word “Vampire”, Katharina M. Wilson, Journal of the History of Ideas, Vol. 46, No. 4 (Oct. 1985), University of Pennsylvania Press. Naturally, I trust you on this one
BTW, I am still recovering from the HUGE and DELICIOUS organic cappuccino from Bluejam. What a great place! As I went there yesterday straight from LAX arriving form Seoul I was zonked from the flight. The food and coffee were a wonderful antidote to fatigue. Come to think of it how abut a piece on the origin of the term: JETLAG? Remedies would be most welcome.
Das vadanya, Q
Thank you for this vid, really turns me on! Wow, to be caught in the mid of night with your fangs deep in me is just, to die for…..so big time sensualy seductive…..gotta go!
(am I dreaming?)
-anyhoo, WORD REQUEST PLEASE:-
Due to a few recent changes in my life Marina, I have not cared so much about my appearence, kinda letting my hair down for a bit while I get new things up and running. As my hair is getting longer I find a hat is a very good way to keep the hair out of my eyes. Thought you could do some investigating into Hat Tax for me, can’t believe people were actually taxed for their hats? What’s the score with this, do you know please?
……uh, i smell garlic

мне интересно происхождение слова SUBVERSE, я не помню когда и как его выдумал, но перевод в словаре по моему не то
Cool effects….
you are the best teacher i ever had…!!!
where does reverberation originate from
RE-VERBERATIO is again a latin word meaning “back stricking”.
You strick (sic) my back and I’ll strick (sic) yours.
oops ! BACK STRIKING !
Bob, I had to look up [sic] because I never learned what that meant.
Dont know what this means but I know its (sic)
Duh! (sic) = spelling is correkt
Привет Марина, I just found you and I wonder why untill now, ’cause your videos are very interesting, cool, and educational…
Well, I’d like to propose “Religion”. I once did a litle research about that word and it seems to be surrounded by debate due to religion matters and interests… So it wold be great if you coul shed more light on this issue…
Thanks for your time and your teachings…
Jay
I never knew vampire was in so many languages! I was wondering if you would be so kind as to tell me where the word “surd” came from. It means a voiceless sound or an irrational number in mathematics. I’ve also heard that a Greek or Roman goddess was called Surd and she was some form of evil that committed evil deeds for the simple reason of just for the fun of committing evil deeds. I’ve noticed this word isn’t in many dictionaries so any information you find would be quite helpful! Wow long post!!
Not so absurdly long but you need to speak up, I’m a bit surd.
Good one, Bob! CAN YOU HEAR ME?
hi marina, i’m just passing by to tell you that i’m going to be late because i was involved in a crash and i’m bad injured
but don’t worry, i’m still tuned
Outch! What happened?
some asshole crossed with red light
Someday soon those bad drivers will be replaced with robot cars.
Sorry to hear you have been the victim of someone else’s idiocy.
I hope you heal up well and quickly.
Maybe you should take the opportunity of any time off to study Defensive Driving.
There are times when there is simply nothing you can do. I was rear-end at a red light on a motorbike in France.
And you weren’t looking in your rear-view mirror so you could see him coming and take to the sidewalk, and you didn’t hold your foot on the brake so that your brake lights would make it more obvious that you were stationary.
Boy you’re riding me today–it was at night, so brake and running lights were on. It was a two way street with two lanes per side. I was in the left lane boxed in by traffic to the left and to the right. Also, in Paris, it’s hard to tell the difference between some who’s going to stop and someone who isn’t since everyone stops hard in about 12 feet.
Ah! well! if you’d have said Paris I’d have understood.
Defensive Driving rules for Paris are simple – DON’T.
Sorry if you thought I was riding you – I should have put a question mark at the end of my post above instead of a Foul Stop.
My bad.
Vamp [Origin: 1175–1225; ME vampe ]
1. Something patched up or refurbished.
2. Something rehashed, as a book based on old material.
3. A seductive woman who uses her sensuality to exploit men.
ire [Origin: 1250–1300; ME ]
“anger, wrath, rage,” from PIE base *eis-, forming various words denoting “passion” cf. Gk. hieros “filled with the divine, holy,” oistros “gadfly,” originally “thing causing madness;” Skt. esati “drives on,” yasati “boils;” Avestan aesma “anger”).
Vamp- + -ire [Origin: 1725–35; Vampir < Serbo-Croatian vàmpīr,]
1…Resurrection causing Madness
2, Something made new from old as a gadfly ( A fly which bites cattle,)
Just a thought.
Marina,
Reading some of the posts, It seems a lot of attention is payed to your back ground.
May be you need to make friends with some local artist and hang their work behind you.
Or put up a wall unit behind you and have people send you ( Via. P.O box ) Little nick knacks to fill it. Something new now and then.
Or just do more close ups. No one will be looking past your Eyes. *>*
RRR, I like your gravitar. Its so you! hehehe

Hey Meliky, I found the perfect video clip on Family Guy that has Loise bouncing up and down saying “Me lika bounce bounce” Its in the “Lethal Weapons” episode. I have it on DVD but I can’t find a clip of that part on the net. Maybe if someone out there can rip it from DVD and put it on YT.

When you travel interdimensionally,
don’t you run the risk of running
into yourself? Just be good boys
and don’t cancel out the Universe!
Head to head at 500 knots! I can’t believe we’re doing this.
Goose in Top Gun.
Missing Gravitons? No! I said they don’t exist.
No one has invented them yet. All the scientist do is smash atoms all day and never get a thing accomplished. Boys are always being so destructive.
I thought about traveling inter-dimensionally but I don’t think I can change the past when I go that route. I have a hard time wrapping my brain around this inter-dimension thing anyways. I guess I have to work on that more.
Cancel out the Universe?!?!? Is that like the Ren and Stimpy Pushes The History Eraser Button?
Hey there Marina I’m a new fan I just started watching your videos and I really like them. I wanted to ask for a request of a word that is so simple yet I want to know where it came from. The word is “Game”. Oh and there is this word that I saw in some subtitles the other day from this movie while I was flipping channels. It’s called “Einherjar”. Do you think you can help me out?
Einherjar is Norsk (Norwegian).
here’s the link to the Wikipedia blurb:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einherjar
i would like you to investigate the origin of ¨TWILIGHT¨

Nostradamus is not a word. Its a name… He had a very interesting story to tell. He was just a bit to vague on his predictions.

Gosh Marina the fearless one
Marina ! I think nevertheless that the clues are in Romania and Ukraine : VAMPIRE has a prothétic V infront of UPYR’ = УПЫРЬ .
In ancient Slavic V prothetic is frequent : UGOL’ / VUGOL’ , UGOR’ / VUGOR’.
In my opinion VAMPIR in Romanian is taken from the ancient Slavic OM+PIR “the one who drinks/eats blood”. Then the word came international since novels were written about Dracula and other Romanian myths.
can you please investigate the word orgasm.
Yes, I must say “orgasm” sounds like a sort of childish word, any relation my dear Marina?
That word dates back to 1684. I think it even has a small connection with the word climax. Maybe we need the expert Marina to see if she can find anything of interest here.
I have been playing for hours. Even have the Eric Partridge {1954} book “Book of Usage & Abusage”, Wordsworth 1995 edition, off the shelf and open. Dame Orlova has done it — made words fun.
In space, the ISS is not just NASA’s beach house any more; Russia, Germany, France, and now Japan are all swimming in the same micro-gravity. My record/edits of Space to Ground are moving to http://www.youtube.com/309nmblonde
The fun with words video below has 2 words but I only want one.
Short test vid with the word in question used in context:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xpu3epfrWUI
English, German, Russian speaking usaEnglish use “overstreach” in the dialog. Why? Is it a valid word? Made up word for the inside joke that is hovering in their dialog? Would you consider it. Thanks.
Hey have you every watch the ISS fly over head? I do all the time. Its fun to watch…
The NASA site that plots ISS needs to payoff the microclimate control freak in this area. When I want to sneek a night away from the R.O.O.M. haze (night: average 80% releatve humidity & calm) is there.
So, x number naked eye UFO — moving white dot, maybe I saw it twice with 10×50 binocular. Sigh.
I watch it many of times with the naked eye. Its a very bright light. Look like a jet flying overhead with a spot light on. I even had video of it on my website one day. Its very easy to spot. One evening I saw the ISS and the space shuttle the same evening. The Shuttle had undocked and was flying way getting ready to re-enter the atmosphere. It looked like it was 200 miles apart but I know it was much greater than that. Keep looking. You’ll see it.
overstretch appears to be used as
part of the technical vernacular
created to describe a mechanical
function or characteristic, albeit
is applied in this context to the
subject of language differentiation.
I enjoyed your vids – neat stuff!
Well, it is possible. I am thinking overstrain or overextend became overstreach. The Oberfuecken[sic] Contol Center guy knows language, listen to Miz Peggy and Herr Peter when the voice tone goes off script. Their adlib was for Houston Flight Control. Everything is On Mic except Privatize on ISS/Shuttle missions. I have some test vid @ yahoo video that is slowly moving over. They managed to piss me off with their makover of a fast/stable site. Told them which line of javascript to change and never heard back. Safari v2 bug. Along with other changes&fixes Apple released Safari v3 which I cannot use. Long story if I don’t stop now. Some say I start channeling “The Answer Bitch”.
I have about a 1000GB less whatever is on a dead 120GB iBook drive of video via NASA-TV, 90% in uncompressed form; special file structure that needs processed before it is viewable like the test vid. and then feed to, QT 7 pro or Final Cut V.whatever for edit and such.
Some of the off-script is funny. The goofing off time takes a hit once HD arrives by the infamous White Stork.
Thanks for looking & likeing the v0.00 vids
I believe it is just someone not too familiar with English, Putting two words together to explain his thoughts.. He could have possibly said, unduly, overreach, overrun, overstep,, transcend surpass, exceeded, over did, overextend. Or just drop “over” from the word to “stretched.”
True. I went over more tape, oops make that, not-tape and most of it is IiS/standard.
Hey Marina, can you please investigate the origin of bowling?
Thanks.
I rushed to show this one to someone I know because he is a huge vampire fan, from Buffy to….whatever shows are popular now. I wonder why vampires are so popular in romance novels now? They seem to be trendy.
