Marina it seems here in America we know little of Russia and her people then we should. one word keeps coming up [comrade]. seems like a very strong term.
Oh i’m Legally blind very impoverished and wish be to a novelist, if you know an affordable computer program that can help i would be grateful.
Slivovica,Rakia /wich in fact is the same/,Borovička and of course Vodka too
how about Medovina ever drink this gods drink?
/i think in Rus you call it Medovka ,or thats in Srbia? dont know now/
Kryshtal Etalon (Belarusian: Крышталь Эталон) is a vodka distilled from wheat and rye and made in Belarus. It is distilled four times and filtered just once, using a unique and patented method, which leaves the vodka crystal clear but without any reduction in the flavour or aroma, according to its label. The alcohol content of this spirit is 40%.
Minsk Kristall is a well known distillery in Belarus and is one of the oldest vodka producers in the former USSR, having been in operation since 1893. With a population of around 10 million, Belarus is the fifth largest consumer of vodka in the world, with annual consumption of over 14.5 million cases, much of it produced by Minsk Kristall. I prefer [BRANDY]…hope your day is a good one renepayback hotFORwords—the rule!
The best combination is Russian Vodka and Czech Beer (Pilsner Urquell)
PS: I and my friends abroad made a test (in the name od Science – of course)
The more vodka in blood, the more easy you can understand foreign languages!
Its working! Try it!
Sorry, I disagree! Vodka (polish, “wodka”) is a drink made around 8-9th century. But at that time there wasn`t Poland and Russia. The drink was made north of Poland, somewhere around the baltic states. Then with migration, it went around this area. The Czechs make there own vodka, Poland, Rusia, Finland, Sweden and Ukraine with Belarus also. In “Polish” water is also woda! So maybe it`s Polish? Czech`s also say woda! Back then it was a SLAVIC NATION!!! Try reading this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vodka. So it`s OURS (Polish, Russian, Ukrainian and so on)!!!!! In Poland, wodka is a “religion”, as we say…If you don`t drink it…your not Polish! By the way i like “ruskij standart”!!!! Polish “luksusowa” (a vodka made out of patatos, one of a kind) and “wyborowa” are really good!!!! Take care!
P.S. Have you ever heard Polish? If so, you can hear the similarity of Polish and Russian and Czech. I don`t write in russian but i understand a lot!
vodka is a Russian alcohol drink
voda is Russian for water
ka or ki is used when someone or something is small like child (детский)the last three letters are k,i,and i with an accent mark
so i guess vodka means little water !?!!
Dear Marina,
I’d like to know about the word gunlaying. I’ve been trying to get a more or less precise translation into a Spanish but I haven’t got any up to the moment.
Regards,
Hector Lopez
Lima – PERU
By the way, in Peru we use the world celular for cellphone. In Spain they say “mobil”, which is their adaptation of the British term mobile phone. We also use other words borrowed from English just like “Guachiman”, which comes “watchman”; “refrigeradora” from “refrigerator”, instead of the spanish term “nevera, etc.
I like like very much the taste of vodka. But I prefer to drink wine within meals. In my opinion, wine is the most noble drink and one of the greatest inventions of humanity. Ha ha ha
I”d rather say that the word “vodka” came from Polish not Russian. In Polish language the word “wódka” (vodka) is a typical transformation of its mother word “woda” (water). Sometimes we make a step further and we even say “wódeczka” (you’ll probably undestand;-). Are there any other Russian words transformed the same way as вoдa-вoдка?
BTW, you can find the word “vodka” in Polish law-court papers from 1405. So it means that the word vodka has been being used (is it correct?) in Polish for a quite long time (and vodka as well). Was вoдка mentioned before 1405 in any Russian document?
You can get it rolling
You can get it goaling
You can get it feeding a fire
A hard earned thirst needs a big cold beer
And the best cold beer is Vic
Vic Bitter
It can come at any time
Dishing up chow
Or showin’em how
Matter of fact I got it now
Vic bitter.
I rarely drink, when I do i have one or two at most (usually one). I like “premium malt beverages” like Smirnoff Ice, Bacardi Silver, etc. My absolute favorite was Captain Morgan Gold that.. um.. bombed. So, it’s no longer made. Which sucks… I loved that stuff… I even have a “beer lamp” made from a Captain Morgan Gold bottle.
Plus, now more and more restaurants are not selling them anymore, if they have anything, all they have is Smirnoff Ice, and more likely they just don’t have any. Beer and “the hard stuff”. That’s it, and of course if they are fancy enough, wine.
I rarely drink, but whenever I decide to go out to a bar/night club, I usually order a shot of Jagermeister and a Long Island Ice Tea. That’s about my limit.
Holla…..I’m from Moldova and in our country Vodka is thery popular….. I like Vodka I drink at Partys, in Clubs……BUT its not water….If you have somethik to say wrouthe in my ICQ 384100456….or in my space http://www.myspace.com/damick17…..
hahaha i always thought russian people drink vodka ,because its cold in russia and the vodka kept people warm inside.
thats what i heard long ago.
but that it was a sin not to drink out of the jar i didnt know,it would be cool if they made that rule in holland too.
but with beer i hope lol
As an alternative, or supplement, to alcohol you can try Kombucha Tea. Quoting from Wikipedia “a good alternative to other (fermented and non fermented) beverages as beer” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kombucha.
Not everybody likes it. You can probably find it in a health or natural foods store to try. To my observation, most Kombucha drink buyers like the tea from Kombucha2000 best. The Kombucha drinks from GT are most popular around here, being less expensive I suppose.
Kombucha tea has a reputation for various health benefits which are clinically unproven (in humans) although people have been drinking it from ancient times. No doubt there is a reason but no money in it for the Medical industry.
A fun aspect is that you can brew and ferment it yourself. But there is a learning curve and careful cleanliness should be employed. Black tea is not required. Oolongs and green teas work well too. Spiced teas compliment Kombucha very deliciously to my test. If you want tips or have questions, reply-email me and I’ll help you get started if I can.
Marina is it true that most Russian men are alcoholics? Is that why a lot of Russian and Ukrane women seem to want to marry Americans? There seem to be a lot of Russian mail order brides on the internet these days.
When I tried to post a comment (below) I would get as far as “Marina:” and a message appeared that my comment was a duplicate and I would be bounced out of the box.
I prefer bourbon actually, and especially Wild Turkey. Anyway, I wait for your next posting with bated breath. In fact I would like to know the origin of the expression “bated breath.”
My view is that anyone who has been <b.ABLE to answer this homework question last night or today is all talk and no action. The only A grade answer is: I can’t remember….
I just regained partial consciousness @ 4PM EST. Who put a a box of cotton balls in my mouth? I’ll find out later. Time to go back to sleep zzzzzzzz
homework:
I’m not tired of liquor just people who aren’t worth being around when they drink—a few sips away from being super-stars, masters at subtraction not addition, “Know-what-I-mean?”, ” Know-what-I’m-sayin?”
But…if the occasion calls I still like: ambers or pilsners out of a tap in a frosted glass, cheap scotch (only cheap ‘cause it’s extra smoky or has the taste of charcoal the way the Scott’s like it) & it should be 1/3 water at least & no ice (again, the way it’s drunk in Scotland); also, love single malts & have had Macallan 50 (it was $643 a glass) or table wine that’s rich and rutty, of course great expensive wines too, my favorite is merlot or German white’s, with California chardonnays I like half wine half water and ice, also ‘new wine’ which can only be drunk shortly after harvest and never bottled, great with fresh hot onion tart. There is also Maker’s Mark & Crown Royal or cheap tequila for shooters, expensive is great too but often a put-on and better saved for mixed drinks, and, somehow it’s just fun to say ‘give me the cheapest tequila you’ve got– no salt no lime,’ (NFL). Jack Daniels works but now I like it on the rocks slowly sipped at the end of a night in a café. Vodka, yep! Especially in summer with a dusting of some fruit mixture and a great tonic, or just Vodka on ice, spent two years of my life drinking vodka gimlets (Roses); for me, cheap U.S. vodka sucks. I like gin when it’s mixed sweet and at the right time I am a big fan of liqueurs & Grand Marnier is just that—grand; another great degestif is grappa and whomever invented port is my hero; schnapps’ is fun to ski with. I don’t like cheap beer except Coors Extra Gold, would rather have one great beer instead of 6 bad beers; my favorite is Fischer with a porcelain top, ‘cuase the bottle’s ‘bitchin’, the beer’s fantastic and you can make it sound like champagne when you open it. Oh, yeah, champagne is wonderful & my favorite aperitif is Kir Royal, unless I am eating Japanese food then it’s sake, the dryer the better (for me) & not heated. I don’t like mojitos or have never had a good one and don’t drink bloody marys, but I love coffee & Kahlúa with a shot of bourbon. I’ve never been to Long Island but I’ve had their tea & I think Rum Jungle isn’t a place it’s a state of mind. But really, the secrete ingredient to any drink is not in the mixture or recipe it’s the company you’re keeping at the time, and nothing outstrips pacing.
THE NUMBER OF TIMES PEOPLE ASKED THIS!!! I AM GOING TO FIND THE ORIGIN OF THIS NOW BECAUSE MARINA IS NOT GOING TO SIT DOWN FOR 3 MINUTES DISCUSSING FUCK.
Hey james, first calm down, we all know how you feel. Next, go to “happy as a clam” lesson and scroll a liitle more than half way down and you’ll see a post from RRR that he pasted from me on a previous lesson…just do the same thing…it has all the answers you’ll want
Thanks pagedoll. I have found some other possible origins, and I am going to do a video about it now but my final line is ” no-body is 100% sure,” Who suggested Marina should list all the words she is not going to do. I think that’s a very good idea.
I like Everclear and Moutaindew. 190 proof grain alchohol will defenatly tickle your ennards Excellent video. Drank some vodka to get rid of my last kidney stone I had. I know beer works well, but as they say liquior is quicker
Can’t get ahold of good WL in these parts, so I stick to Stoly shots chased by Miller Lite. The Miller Lite is one of the easiest beers for a chaser because it has less carbs than those other ‘light’ beers and it’s mostly water, so I can chug it without fear of getting hung over later. Microbrews are too syrupy for that. Instant headache after 2 beers. Plus, I’m watching my weight. Drinking Bud Light made me gain 10 lbs!
Cheap Vodka gives me a headache also. Smirnoff, yuck! Same goes for Cuervo Gold. I gotta be more selective than that. Patron or 1800 are as low as I’ll go.
You know whats crazy I was going to ask where “spirits” come from and you answered it. Anyway I like beer ( Killeans, Sam Adams, Goose Island, Molson) vodka (Stoli, Belevedere, basically any Russian vodka), and Bicardi and Diet Coke.
auf Deutsch? “Marina schaut nie alles andere als das vorzüglich.” Ordnen Sie SiebürstenbesserobenaufIhrenKomplimenten an im “Die Marina Schmeichler Handbuch…
“*Marina schaut nie anderes als ausgezeichnet aus*”….. Regel (Ordensregel) (dunno*)besserobenaufihrenKomplimenten an im Das Marina Schmeichler Handbuch…..
The first sentence I can´t translate, it is hard to fit the words in, so I tried it by using the words you wrote in English.
English holds a different…..hum, sentence construction Germans go crazy with that, if you replace some words you hold a wonderful German sentence.
Hey Marina, i was wondering where the word Coolie originated from. you know the term they use for the asian labourers. I love you, keep the good work up!
In 1727 Dr. Engelbert Kämpfer described “coolies” as dock laborers who would unload Dutch merchant ships at Nagasaki.[2] [3] The word coolie can be traced back to the Hindi word qūlī (क़ूली), which means “(day-)labourer”, and perhaps ultimately to Kulī, an aboriginal tribe in Gujarat[4][5] or to the Tamil word kuli கூலி (”wages”) (Encyclopædia Britannica). Another form closely related to the Hindi qūlī is the Bengali kuli.
The Chinese word 苦力 (Pinyin: kǔlì) literally means “bitterly hard (use of) strength.” The most commonly used cultural Chinese term is 咕喱 (Pinyin: gu1 li2).
interesting to see how our Ukrainian neighbours call vodka: горiлка,(gorilka)from verb горiти(goriti)=to burn! by the way if there are some Ukranian students, please forgive my Ukranian in case of mistakes
Even if the Russian soul prevails in me over the other two,being a connaisseur of wine and a sommelier, my favourite drink is wine….. i’d drink BAROLO like water,anyway in my personal taste ВОДКА ranks 2nd…smooth,classical СТОЛИЧНАЯ /read stalichnaya/from Moscow is the best…i allow myself to add that letter k in the word voda serves to make the hypocoristical form,therefore vodka lit. means something like ‘’sweet little water”
I have an idea. People keep asking Marina to find the origin of the words poo, poop, and sexy. Can you imagine if all Marina did was talk about poo, and sex all the time. So maybe I should make a video or a post explaining the origin of these words so people stop asking stupid questions?
In the recent past, Marina has said that she would do those vulgar type words which are part of the English lexicon, but she was looking into doing it in a way where her video would not get flagged. So, maybe you may want to wait, or get the nod from Marina….
It seems, on YouTube, you can swear like a drunken sailor and not get flagged, but wear a very classy dress, blouse or bathing suit, and wham, you get flagged.
Maybe Marina could do those words wrapped in a blanket, but have a close-up of her face so we can get lost in those gorgeous blue eyes.
Interestingly, my English dictionary gives the origin of “sedan” as unknown. However, I happen to know that Sedan is a chef-lieu in the Ardennes (France). Known for textiles, metalurgy, and beer. Also there was a Battle of Sedan, in which Napoleon III was defeated. I would think therefore that the word “sedan” is somehow related. Maybe Marina could look into this further to see if there is indeed a connection.
I realize that the word broad has a broad array of meanings, however I’m confused as to how it (in slang) can mean a woman. Perhaps the word’s history will help me out. I’ve heard women insulted upon hearing the word, and I’ve heard women refer to themselves as “broads” in a seemingly good way. Is it good or bad, or unrelated? Thanks again. – A42
i think the word lol came from us dutch people . we use it a lot in text to show we liked it or having fun.
the meaning of the word lol , is also FUN in dutch.
so i think we dutch people are to blame fot it appearing on the internet.
Hey Marina
Have you ever looked into the ‘Black Country’ language? (the local dialect of a certain part of the Midlands in England)! If not, I recommend anyone to have a look, there any a couple of sites you can visit, it is quite amusing
I drink Coca Cola like water every day. I know that’s not really good for health, but I can’t stop the habit. I want anyone to call it a sin. Well, in my case, hair of the dog doesn’t get needed….
I don’t drink alcohol..my friends say i’m a pussy but I don’t care, it’s not that I can’t drink it I just don’t see wy I should drink , it’s unhealthy and I can’t think of any positive reason of getting drunk.
I mainly drink water and milk hehe, and whatever is in the fridge.
Nothing in excess, everything in moderation
Sometimes you have to try new things.
I didn’t like fish for a long time, now
I loves ‘em – can eat ‘em 3 x a day!
I was talking abouth food and stuff :p my grandfather lets me eat the weirdest things lol from Cooked bear claw to rotting fish i get tears in my eyes thinking back of that moment, horrible!! tasted like amonia.
Well there are some nice words now. At all why even don’t try to explain “Solaris” for the people around there. As often this word has been used for Operatingsystem (SunOS / Solaris) or Movie (Solaris the Movie) or a kind of Wine well could be intresting to get a intresting lesson for the viewers of hotforwords
Although I can remember not being able to remember anything because of drink in the past, these days a glass of wine with a meal, or a beer if it’s a curry, is enough for me. Gotta conserve my brain cells – the remaining ones are getting lonely.
There hasnt been a teachers pet for a while lately, Over on youtube someone said i should try and eat soup with my hands, although i chose on the fork free day not to use utensils to add a more comedic effect some people do not get the idea. You don’t eat soup with a fork anyway. but what do you think if i try and make a video of me eating soup with no spoon
If you can think of a way to make it entertaining or significant, then go for it. Don’t just do it because someone asked for it. Take a leaf out of Marina’s book – she only makes videos of the words requested if she can think of a way to make it interesting, amusing and/or sexy.
You asked for opinions, and foxbow offered one. That IS support. I don’t think I’d be real quick to select a video of someone eating soup without a spoon either, if you want the truth. But at this point I’m unconvinced that you do.
James? I think you should try a vegetable medley.
peas, corn niblets, broccolli, cauliflower, those little
baby carrots. And NO HANDS this time!
At least then there will be much humor in
seeing you try to eat the (colorful) veggies
that stick to your face! Maybe go around in circles
with your tongue pulled in that direction as if
in pursuit of a pea stuck to your cheek, just
out of reach (of your tongue). The funnier
you make these vidoes, the more longevity
the series will have. ie levity = longevity
a bowl of oatmeal (with raisins – gotta have texture)
might also be pretty funny! Keep playing with it.
Marina loves it when her students get busy!
James ,
Don’t make trouble for Marina ok?
Let it go. OK XP I have a lot of other forums that love blood sport.
I just love a good fight and she worried about her site. BORING .
rrr
Nice to see you mention your Father.
You mention in the video that in, is it, the Russian Orthodox church that the jug of vodka is passed around & is considered a sin not to partake. Who considers it a sin, the leadership, or everyone there?
The Catholic church did not institute the partakeing of the bread & wine at the remembrance table, Christ did… but my humble opinion is that most organized (christian) religions got away from what the remembrance table was about & made it into a ritual, without the heart & meaning intended, obscuring the picture, so simply portrayed by the emblems of bread & wine… which were just common items at everybodys table, in Christs time. Making wine was a common way to preserve valuable drink, as clean water for drinking was not always available, & didn’t store well pre. refrigeration. With a lack of grapes, as you say, in Russia, vodka, made from grain would have been a way to preserve valuable drinking fluid, as water can be scarce or even bad, making vodka the safe “water” to drink. Just wondering, was it the official Orthodox position to substitute the vodka for wine in the ceremony or just for convenience & availability? Just curious if anyone knows.
Enjoyed the video, BTW, always… cheers
The notion that Jesus drank a ‘little’ wine only because there wasn’t much choice is really a bit of modern revisionism. Water stores very well, wine doesn’t. But considering that the middle East was Roman territory at the time of Christ can a person really claim that there wasn’t ‘good’ water–the Romans were the masters at it. Follow where ever Rome went great water followed, they built aqueducts, bathed in it daily, their houses had running water…
Wine was a food product which Jesus of Nazareth partook of often and maybe at times in fair quantity, he said: some might call me a drunkard.
Roman Catholic’s consider the Eucharist a Holy Sacrament, of course it’s ritualized, but the sanctity is a belief that the spirit of Christ ‘actually’ enters that bread & wine in the church–every time.
Curious enough, it is believed that the first wine actually came from Russia where they dug big pits, threw fruits (grapes too) into it, covered it and later drank the mixture.
Please, the above is not religious. Just trying to be an armchair historian.
Well, I used to be a rum drinker for the most part but since our deployment last year and the subsequent imposed “dry” spell..** we couldn’t drink for 16 months**…I’m sort of lost my taste for drinking. On the occasions I do partake, I usually like a Guinness or Morgans and coke. I have a friend who likes to experiment and will sometimes use me as his guinea pig. I’ll give him credit though, he makes some great Black Russians and he is a big vodka drinker. He does tend to go overboard sometimes though.
In keeping with the last video, he threw a Halloween party last year and made up a “house” shot he called a “Vampire’s Kiss”. I’m not sure what alcohol he used but I know that Tabasco and some form of Jalapeño figured prominently into it. After trying it I was reminded of a “Pearl of Wisdom” my father passed on to me years ago, “That a find drink is meant to be enjoyed, it shouldn’t have to be a test of manhood.”
Ugh, can’t even spell…that’s what I get for being up so late…wish you had an edit function here Marina….I hate sounding like an idiot when I misspell words here….After trying it I was reminded of a “Pearl of Wisdom” my father passed on to me years ago, “That a FINE drink is meant to be enjoyed, it shouldn’t have to be a test of manhood.”
I’VE sort of lost my taste for drinking.
**hangs head in shame and reaches for the dunce cap**
Because you can hold a smile for a long time while saying it. Watch yourself in the mirror and try to smile while saying “cheese.” Then try to hold a smile while saying something without that long “Eee” sound, like “Rose” or “Flag.” See what I mean?
Of course, the best way to get people to smile while photographing them is to say something totally unexpected that makes them bust out laughing. I used to tell people to “Take a deeeeeep breath….. Hold it……. hold it….(waiting that extra moment for comedic value) Now blow it out your ass!” And I always got excellent results, even from Grandma or the in-laws who can be very stodgy and stand-offish.
Until two months ago I was living in the high mountain jungles of central Mexico, so having a cocktail in such a remote area was an ordeal.
So I made my own concoction I called Aqua de Agave (mescal) con Coco y Pina. These ingredients were available, it was the darn ice which was hard to get. A burro ride down the mountain then a 4-wheel drive to the blacktop highway; eight miles down a dangerous mountain road. Purchased the ice (10 pesos, wow!) retraced the route back up the mountain then at the fiesta we chipped away at the ice with our machetes, blended all the ingredients while someone was making cups out of a banana leaf (kidding). In conclusion we were glad we had to do all this before we had a few drinks.
PS So I had to watch all your videos in a two day marathon which is the moynf (milk out your nose funny) story.
If you don’t mind my asking, what IS the carnal sense of that phrase? It’s unknown to me, and I was a Preacher’s kid. We’re supposed to know all the nasty stuff there is to know.
Well, as I understand it; it is during the act of a woman performing oral sex on a man. Before he ejaculates, she takes warm water into her mouth, this is supposed to heighten the man’s pleasure, and then he ejaculates into her mouth. Thus, the phrase “changing water into wine.” I was just wondering how that phrase became associated with that particular act.
The concept of “water” is not rare for alcohol : WHISKEY is taken from Celtic Irish UISCE BEATHA “water (of) life”. UISCE comes from ancient Celtic ESCA “water”.
In modern French we still say EAU DE VIE “water of life”.
what about that word in german that has no real transaltion in english…its gemutlichkeit….theres an umlaut over the u …ok skip that one…heres a different one…the word fried…as in “getting fried” means your in the hot seat or in a cituation that may make one sweat…but how does that relate to the drug/alcohol version of “getting fried”…is it that this is your brain on drugs commercial?…just courious…
words like schadenfreude and
weltanschauung fit this category.
The literal word translation does
not convey accurately into english.
same for gemutlichkeit.

Dear Marina,
I no longer drink alcoholic beverages because it isn’t healthy for me. I used to enjoy beer and wine, but no longer. So, I now enjoy tea, particularly organic green tea, served hot and Lipton’s Orange Pekoe, served as iced tea. In Chinese restaurants, Oolong or Jasmine teas are nice. I occasionally have coffee, but not the high-priced types. Plain water is also good for me. So, Marina, if you handle those vodka martinis, shaken and not stirred, you would be able to “drink me under the table” in no time. (And also take advantage of my passed-out person!) But I still think you are a nice young woman!
Your dear student, seesix CM6
My favorite drink other than wine is stoly right out of the freezer.
Can you answer this? When, where, why, what are all pronounced as if the “h” is silent. Why, then, is the word whore pronounced as if the “w” is silent?
Same as the word “who.” Just goes to show, for every English pronunciation rule there are probably at least several exceptions. Probably due to the large number ofcompletely different languages English is derived from; everyone from the Norse to the Franks to the Celts to the Saxons to the Romans (and others I may have overlooked) invaded it and left their imprints on the language at some time or other.
That’s one theory. I have been looking for information on it. There have been books that referred to “fishy stories” or “a fish story”, meaning a story that wasn’t true.
I would like to find out about the word “savvy”. I seem to hear it used on TV and in movies fairly often. I also would like to know if there are any other words that use the double v. Thanks.
i seldom drink alcohol anymore, really…i’ve slowed down in my latter years…quite a bit…
but when i drink, it’s usually a mixed drink – Jack & Coke or 7 & 7, occasionally, but more rarely now, beer…shoot, beers are all about the same to me, except Coors & Rolling Rock
drank an awful lot of Blue Moon in Austin last summer…something about seeing the women at Bikinis Sports Bar & Grill made me thirsty…
oddly, i can drink several mixed drinks with few ill effects, but give me a couple of beers & i’m not only feeling fine, but making frequent contributions to the local water supply…
Getting older I can’t even keep the hotforwords videos from mixing up in my head… ie Soccer & Vodka or like, from the radio show happy referee BTW my weakness for drink would be tequila, only drank it when I was in Mexico & only want to drink it again when I go back. Mexico’s National Drink bumpkin style.
I remember going to work as a teen, before sun up, listening to this, by the Eagles (Wifes favorite band)
lol…well, actually i found the Blue Moon a mite weak…but it was cheap, and i was in Austin to ref at an adults’ tournament where i knew i’d be losing money bigtime, but was required to attend to maintain a national rating…
Vodka is really tasteless, its the alcohol/impurities you taste rather than the vodka itself. You can test this yourselves, buy a cheap vodka like Absolut and a higher end, Grey Goose or my fav VOX….chill it in the freezer (don’t worry it won’t freeze), Grey Goose will be flavorless while you’ll still taste some of the Absolut.
And, Tequila shots…Cuervo 1800 or Patron… mmmmm yummmy
some are too ignorant to recognize they’re assholes (uneducated & educated alike can fit in this category)…this is what is meant by ignorant asshole! comments…
others are as you described, just plain mean jerks, out to deliberately harm another…mean asshole!-types…
Nothing sinister intended.
Just wanted to know why he would care?
Does he believe that stupid people are being misrepresented. Or the Assholes?
Stupid people are sometimes very sweet and nice. And Assholes are very smart. To me an Asshole shows total contempt and disregard,
Can a truly stupid person do this?
But really, Can a truly stupid person be an Asshole?
That is a very good question for the Minions to discuss
Then what you are saying is that An Asshole shows. Ignorance?
Me, I think an Asshole is smart, cunning and dissipative, A liar and a back stabber. That Guy that talks smack behind your back and your friend to your face.
Huuumm?
Can it be said then, That everyone is an Asshole, The difference is in what kind of an asshole, … We are??
Like as for stupid;
In most cases, Stupid just means ” I think you are wrong “.
People call Dick Cheney stupid, really…. stupid?
You may think He is a lot of things…, but stupid?
When someone calls me stupid because they believe I am wrong, They are right to say I am stupid. ( Because, I think differently ) right?
In Thai KHUAY means Penis, but if you say it with the wrong tone or vowel sound , as many Farangs (foreigners) do, it can mean Buffalo or Banana. Go figure.
Thais also get a lot of laughs when Farangs talk about the River Kwai.
No, any Caucasian foreigner, although it is believed to be a corruption Français, as the French in Indochina were probably the first Caucasians that the Thais encountered.
You see how it gets on this site.
Bunch of big kids running rampant.
Your pic would make a great Gravatar!
This place could grow on you, just
realize the way you get love, is show
love. My first comments got spitballed.
But I got better! With your picture
up there, people are more comfortable
and will respond, Marina. too!
I believe you may have thought
your comments were anonymous
and perhaps didn’t use your best
judgement, as to the tone they set.
Try this – Google pr7113 and see
that you are not anonymous, ok?
I read your page – you have a few
issues being discussed there that
explain the choice of tone you made
here. The whole love thing is easy
but people can be hard to understand
until you learn to let go of notions
(preconceived) and just accept them
where they are at. Come on back
and read some lessons. Marina is
a sharp cookie, eh? Get familiar with
the words list. You will pick up on
it quickler than you may think, now.
I would like to see you come up
with something unique to add here, okay?
PEACE!
Word(s) Request:
I kindly request the origins of the word Romance or Romantic as in romance novels, romance music, romance languages and romantic ♥ relationships and how are they related.
In a similar vein, Chivalry is considered a romantic ethic. Are these ideas and words dying out, and if so, what is replacing those ideals?
I only drink occasionally these days,
usually 2-3 Heinekens when I do.
Depends on my mood. Corona’s with
a lime wedge, are tasty.
Mostly, Gatorade is my preferred
beverage, after coffee. I get the
powder mix – no preservative taste.
These days, I kill a gallon a day.
If I drink water, I’m cramped and
crippled at the days end. I am
addicted to the stuff, I guess.
We’re averaging 90 degree days
and way high humidity last week.
Vodka always clears my sinuses.
Belvedere, Scmirnoff’s – not bad
Absolute (reserve from the decanter)
was the best I ever had.
Marina should explain the story
behind Cristal, bottled in clear
glass by a Russian czar’s decree!
I think it was a Romanoff, but
my Russian history is fuzzy
at best. Best to consult Marina.
i have a word Salacious
its my nick name but and people always think its one of those made up words and they say like SAL A LICIOUS and i would love for you to look this one up, also people think i just got the word from the Star wars movies because one of the charactors name was Salacious Crumb… Ohh and im not Russian but i do drink lots of water..
well, it’s an interestin’ word…one of those that kinda describes an action (there’s a term for that, i think, but the alcohol in this vid is affectin’ my memory)…
Marina
I have a podcast question. I can download “horny answer” off of iTunes but I cant download “horny game”.
Guess I’ll try tomorrow. It’s been fun having you on my iPod. I’ve shown several people who you are that have never heard of you. Not everyone scans YT.
I’ve liked Heineken for a looong time now but lately have been drinking some Mexican beers,Negra Modelo is good stuff,good to have with a meal or just to get a buzz like right now.
I have zero time for political correctness when it affects the ingredients of My buzzes,,,bad PC,,bad bad bad. Drink all the Vodka(or whatever)You want Folks! Enjoy! It’s the weekend!

Marina it seems here in America we know little of Russia and her people then we should. one word keeps coming up [comrade]. seems like a very strong term.
Oh i’m Legally blind very impoverished and wish be to a novelist, if you know an affordable computer program that can help i would be grateful.
mmmmm Beer
and of course anything else alcoholic handed to me in a glass or bottle.
Slivovica,Rakia /wich in fact is the same/,Borovička and of course Vodka too
how about Medovina ever drink this gods drink?
/i think in Rus you call it Medovka ,or thats in Srbia? dont know now/
this reminds me that a Russian friend left a bottle of the finest Russian vodka at my house when he visited me and i forgot to taste it…what a shame
Minsk Kristall is a well known distillery in Belarus and is one of the oldest vodka producers in the former USSR, having been in operation since 1893. With a population of around 10 million, Belarus is the fifth largest consumer of vodka in the world, with annual consumption of over 14.5 million cases, much of it produced by Minsk Kristall.

Hi киска
The best combination is Russian Vodka and Czech Beer (Pilsner Urquell)
PS: I and my friends abroad made a test (in the name od Science – of course)
The more vodka in blood, the more easy you can understand foreign languages!
Its working! Try it!
Sorry, I disagree! Vodka (polish, “wodka”) is a drink made around 8-9th century. But at that time there wasn`t Poland and Russia. The drink was made north of Poland, somewhere around the baltic states. Then with migration, it went around this area. The Czechs make there own vodka, Poland, Rusia, Finland, Sweden and Ukraine with Belarus also. In “Polish” water is also woda! So maybe it`s Polish? Czech`s also say woda! Back then it was a SLAVIC NATION!!! Try reading this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vodka. So it`s OURS (Polish, Russian, Ukrainian and so on)!!!!! In Poland, wodka is a “religion”, as we say…If you don`t drink it…your not Polish! By the way i like “ruskij standart”!!!! Polish “luksusowa” (a vodka made out of patatos, one of a kind) and “wyborowa” are really good!!!! Take care!
P.S. Have you ever heard Polish? If so, you can hear the similarity of Polish and Russian and Czech. I don`t write in russian but i understand a lot!
Kris Kristofferson – Jesus was a capricorn latest favorite is CACHACA 61—BRAZILIAN RUM not roman like sarmentoso or better like forced fermentation

Чай не Водка, много не выпьешь
vodka is a Russian alcohol drink
voda is Russian for water
ka or ki is used when someone or something is small like child (детский)the last three letters are k,i,and i with an accent mark
so i guess vodka means little water !?!!
Vodka isn’t a Russian origin beverage. Plz, don’t believe me, check it out at Russian Wikipedia.
BTW, Marina, haven’t you done it yet?
The word Vodka (for distilled beverage) was used in Polish 2 or 3 centuries earlier than in Russian.

Dear Marina,
I’d like to know about the word gunlaying. I’ve been trying to get a more or less precise translation into a Spanish but I haven’t got any up to the moment.
Regards,
Hector Lopez
Lima – PERU
By the way, in Peru we use the world celular for cellphone. In Spain they say “mobil”, which is their adaptation of the British term mobile phone. We also use other words borrowed from English just like “Guachiman”, which comes “watchman”; “refrigeradora” from “refrigerator”, instead of the spanish term “nevera, etc.
Yes, it’s a little late, but I LOVE Grey Goose Vodka. It’s so smooth, and the taste is amazing.
I like like very much the taste of vodka. But I prefer to drink wine within meals. In my opinion, wine is the most noble drink and one of the greatest inventions of humanity. Ha ha ha
Hello from Poland,
I”d rather say that the word “vodka” came from Polish not Russian. In Polish language the word “wódka” (vodka) is a typical transformation of its mother word “woda” (water). Sometimes we make a step further and we even say “wódeczka” (you’ll probably undestand;-). Are there any other Russian words transformed the same way as вoдa-вoдка?
BTW, you can find the word “vodka” in Polish law-court papers from 1405. So it means that the word vodka has been being used (is it correct?) in Polish for a quite long time (and vodka as well). Was вoдка mentioned before 1405 in any Russian document?
Hearing (watching?) from you soon
My Daughter is a Licensee and owner of a Night Club , Therefore I have no Favourite . but I do like Polish Vodka Marina. Would you join me sometime?
I love pina coladas, but my favorite non-alcoholic drink is Martinelli’s sparkling cider.
whiskey…Jack Daniels on the rocks
mixed drink is a Long island iced tea
I love vodka and tequila!!!!
My favorite alcoholic beverage is Jack Daniels and cola.
Always beer of varying kinds, but my favorite is Lindemans Framboise.

You can get it rolling
You can get it goaling

A hard earned thirst needs a big cold beer
And the best cold beer is Vic
Vic Bitter
It can come at any time
Dishing up chow
Or showin’em how
Matter of fact I got it now
Vic bitter.
Homework: Single Malt Whiskey, 1st choice Macallan.
Homework : Rossi and Grey Goose. If not alcohol, I’d say mango juice or the lesson on my Teacher’s Pet debut, Coke!
I rarely drink, when I do i have one or two at most (usually one). I like “premium malt beverages” like Smirnoff Ice, Bacardi Silver, etc. My absolute favorite was Captain Morgan Gold that.. um.. bombed. So, it’s no longer made. Which sucks… I loved that stuff… I even have a “beer lamp” made from a Captain Morgan Gold bottle.
Plus, now more and more restaurants are not selling them anymore, if they have anything, all they have is Smirnoff Ice, and more likely they just don’t have any. Beer and “the hard stuff”. That’s it, and of course if they are fancy enough, wine.
I rarely drink, but whenever I decide to go out to a bar/night club, I usually order a shot of Jagermeister and a Long Island Ice Tea. That’s about my limit.
1664, Guiness, Ale, Red Wine but my fav JD and Coke.
Could HFW’s investigate the word PANNIKIN?
Cheers
Be merry
Holla…..I’m from Moldova and in our country Vodka is thery popular….. I like Vodka I drink at Partys, in Clubs……BUT its not water….If you have somethik to say wrouthe in my ICQ 384100456….or in my space http://www.myspace.com/damick17…..
hahaha i always thought russian people drink vodka ,because its cold in russia and the vodka kept people warm inside.
thats what i heard long ago.
but that it was a sin not to drink out of the jar i didnt know,it would be cool if they made that rule in holland too.
but with beer i hope lol
Hi Marina, is Vodka made from potatoes or from grain?
What do “The Great Escape” and “Red Planet” have in common?
As an alternative, or supplement, to alcohol you can try Kombucha Tea. Quoting from Wikipedia “a good alternative to other (fermented and non fermented) beverages as beer” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kombucha.
Not everybody likes it. You can probably find it in a health or natural foods store to try. To my observation, most Kombucha drink buyers like the tea from Kombucha2000 best. The Kombucha drinks from GT are most popular around here, being less expensive I suppose.
Kombucha tea has a reputation for various health benefits which are clinically unproven (in humans) although people have been drinking it from ancient times. No doubt there is a reason but no money in it for the Medical industry.
A fun aspect is that you can brew and ferment it yourself. But there is a learning curve and careful cleanliness should be employed. Black tea is not required. Oolongs and green teas work well too. Spiced teas compliment Kombucha very deliciously to my test. If you want tips or have questions, reply-email me and I’ll help you get started if I can.
If you are concerned about risks or proven benefits, I suggest these medical abstracts which can be found from the European Bioinformatics Institute web site: http://www.ebi.ac.uk/citexplore/citationDetails.do?externalId=12808367&dataSource=MED , http://www.ebi.ac.uk/citexplore/citationDetails.do?externalId=10904168&dataSource=MED, http://www.ebi.ac.uk/citexplore/citationDetails.do?externalId=11723720&dataSource=MED and http://www.ebi.ac.uk/citexplore/citationDetails.do?externalId=11351863&dataSource=MED
I’ll pretty much drink anything except for wine, champagne and most beers
Marina is it true that most Russian men are alcoholics? Is that why a lot of Russian and Ukrane women seem to want to marry Americans? There seem to be a lot of Russian mail order brides on the internet these days.
Vodka & Cranberry juice with a lime. (Cape Cod(der)) mmm-mmm-mmmmm
Im Latvian ! I feel like fish in water if the booze is inside me! my favorite is cognac! Henessy or Meukow! Cheers
Marina:
When I tried to post a comment (below) I would get as far as “Marina:” and a message appeared that my comment was a duplicate and I would be bounced out of the box.
I prefer bourbon actually, and especially Wild Turkey. Anyway, I wait for your next posting with bated breath. In fact I would like to know the origin of the expression “bated breath.”
WHAT IS THE ORGIN OF THE WORD “DOUCHE BAG” OR “DOUCHE”
Look further down the page kindo….
How did the word Lemon, begin to refer to a car which is defectable
My view is that anyone who has been <b.ABLE to answer this homework question last night or today is all talk and no action. The only A grade answer is: I can’t remember….
I just regained partial consciousness @ 4PM EST. Who put a a box of cotton balls in my mouth? I’ll find out later. Time to go back to sleep zzzzzzzz
Hi could you tell me the origin of the word “holic” which applies to alcoholic, workerholic or even shopperholic. Thanks a lot.
I like Vodka Gimlets, made with Stoli or Absolute of course.
homework:
I’m not tired of liquor just people who aren’t worth being around when they drink—a few sips away from being super-stars, masters at subtraction not addition, “Know-what-I-mean?”, ” Know-what-I’m-sayin?”
But…if the occasion calls I still like: ambers or pilsners out of a tap in a frosted glass, cheap scotch (only cheap ‘cause it’s extra smoky or has the taste of charcoal the way the Scott’s like it) & it should be 1/3 water at least & no ice (again, the way it’s drunk in Scotland); also, love single malts & have had Macallan 50 (it was $643 a glass) or table wine that’s rich and rutty, of course great expensive wines too, my favorite is merlot or German white’s, with California chardonnays I like half wine half water and ice, also ‘new wine’ which can only be drunk shortly after harvest and never bottled, great with fresh hot onion tart. There is also Maker’s Mark & Crown Royal or cheap tequila for shooters, expensive is great too but often a put-on and better saved for mixed drinks, and, somehow it’s just fun to say ‘give me the cheapest tequila you’ve got– no salt no lime,’ (NFL). Jack Daniels works but now I like it on the rocks slowly sipped at the end of a night in a café. Vodka, yep! Especially in summer with a dusting of some fruit mixture and a great tonic, or just Vodka on ice, spent two years of my life drinking vodka gimlets (Roses); for me, cheap U.S. vodka sucks. I like gin when it’s mixed sweet and at the right time I am a big fan of liqueurs & Grand Marnier is just that—grand; another great degestif is grappa and whomever invented port is my hero; schnapps’ is fun to ski with. I don’t like cheap beer except Coors Extra Gold, would rather have one great beer instead of 6 bad beers; my favorite is Fischer with a porcelain top, ‘cuase the bottle’s ‘bitchin’, the beer’s fantastic and you can make it sound like champagne when you open it. Oh, yeah, champagne is wonderful & my favorite aperitif is Kir Royal, unless I am eating Japanese food then it’s sake, the dryer the better (for me) & not heated. I don’t like mojitos or have never had a good one and don’t drink bloody marys, but I love coffee & Kahlúa with a shot of bourbon. I’ve never been to Long Island but I’ve had their tea & I think Rum Jungle isn’t a place it’s a state of mind. But really, the secrete ingredient to any drink is not in the mixture or recipe it’s the company you’re keeping at the time, and nothing outstrips pacing.
I think I did my homework.
If you are going to drink vodka, it has to be Russian. Stoli.
Glad to see Kobe is OK. I was concerned after the last lesson.
Hotforwords:
I think you are the Cat’s Meow but I am embarrassed to to say that I do not know the origin of the expression “Cat’s Meow.”
Could you investigate this for me?
~Purrington
Hello Marina,
I have so many words i would like you to investigate. Here are few of them, penny, apoplectic, and pissed.
thank you for considering these as subjects in your show.
beetoebee
mys new words request: Benedict
Now thats a pisseroffer
I am too young to drink alcohol, so I drink soda instead. Root Beer is the best! (especially out of keg
)
hey! love your videos!
I would like to request a word. ‘X-ray’. I do know when X-rays were found, but why ‘X’ ray? Were they ‘wrong’?
Thanks, HFW. <3
My favorite alcohol is gin, but I rarely drink it.
The wages of Gin are Breath.
WORD REQUEST: Hey, Marina, how do we get the word “gymnasium”?
Hi marina
I would like to know the origin of the word “Viking”… would be cool.. thanks I always rate your videos *****
Vodka like water
Water like Vodka very,verry, much
hi
I was just wondering where did the word “fuck” originate from
THE NUMBER OF TIMES PEOPLE ASKED THIS!!! I AM GOING TO FIND THE ORIGIN OF THIS NOW BECAUSE MARINA IS NOT GOING TO SIT DOWN FOR 3 MINUTES DISCUSSING FUCK.
James, you forget the comma after the word ‘minutes’
Chillax have a cup of tea.
Hey james, first calm down, we all know how you feel. Next, go to “happy as a clam” lesson and scroll a liitle more than half way down and you’ll see a post from RRR that he pasted from me on a previous lesson…just do the same thing…it has all the answers you’ll want
As soon as a boy learns to spell ” FUCK ” he want to show that he can.
Thanks pagedoll. I have found some other possible origins, and I am going to do a video about it now but my final line is ” no-body is 100% sure,” Who suggested Marina should list all the words she is not going to do. I think that’s a very good idea.
1) Marina did this word already in a Maxim show…;
2) listen to pagedoll…he knows his fuck ‘n shit…
For a while this word & soccer seemed neck & neck–I hope she doesn’t do it because people would still ask and…well…
This is a good site for you to check out.This would be the right place to ask your question. Click Here.
thanks http://youtube.com/watch?v=UztpFPn2Q-Q
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zgc4Zl6XzFs&feature=related
more like when he goes off to college…
or later…
I like Everclear and Moutaindew. 190 proof grain alchohol will defenatly tickle your ennards
Excellent video. Drank some vodka to get rid of my last kidney stone I had. I know beer works well, but as they say liquior is quicker 
Well Yeee-Haw! That sounds like a good ol’ time!
Can’t get ahold of good WL in these parts, so I stick to Stoly shots chased by Miller Lite. The Miller Lite is one of the easiest beers for a chaser because it has less carbs than those other ‘light’ beers and it’s mostly water, so I can chug it without fear of getting hung over later. Microbrews are too syrupy for that. Instant headache after 2 beers. Plus, I’m watching my weight. Drinking Bud Light made me gain 10 lbs!
Cheap Vodka gives me a headache also. Smirnoff, yuck! Same goes for Cuervo Gold. I gotta be more selective than that. Patron or 1800 are as low as I’ll go.
I love your site and I always wanted to know the origin of the phrase “all of a sudden”. It doesn’t seem to make sense by itself.
You know whats crazy I was going to ask where “spirits” come from and you answered it. Anyway I like beer ( Killeans, Sam Adams, Goose Island, Molson) vodka (Stoli, Belevedere, basically any Russian vodka), and Bicardi and Diet Coke.
I would like to know the origin of “the bees knees” or “the cats meow” why does it mean something good?
I would like to know what “apocalyptic” means and where dd it come from
It describes a Mel Gibson doomsday epic.
Hey HotforWords, can you investigate the term “Drawing a Blank” and how it came to mean forgetting or not knowing something?
Thanks!
All I know is, if I were in a gunfight, and the gun I drew was loaded with blanks…
Will you investigate About the word >> Succubus <<
& Thanks
Bar none – the gin and tonic is the best, particularly with Rangpur Tangueray gin. Love them…

Hum, how about a “small” glass Vodka later (sing and jump around like bagpipes) ?

The first sentence I can´t translate, it is hard to fit the words in, so I tried it by using the words you wrote in English.
English holds a different…..hum, sentence construction Germans go crazy with that, if you replace some words you hold a wonderful German sentence.
yes, i think you sentence works…it’s been years since i used my college German, so i’m weak and used an online translation…

Hey Marina, i was wondering where the word Coolie originated from. you know the term they use for the asian labourers. I love you, keep the good work up!
interesting word, true…from Wikipedia:
…
Kewl. Good work, Nud.
interesting to see how our Ukrainian neighbours call vodka: горiлка,(gorilka)from verb горiти(goriti)=to burn! by the way if there are some Ukranian students, please forgive my Ukranian in case of mistakes
Even if the Russian soul prevails in me over the other two,being a connaisseur of wine and a sommelier, my favourite drink is wine….. i’d drink BAROLO like water,anyway in my personal taste ВОДКА ranks 2nd…smooth,classical СТОЛИЧНАЯ /read stalichnaya/from Moscow is the best…i allow myself to add that letter k in the word voda serves to make the hypocoristical form,therefore vodka lit. means something like ‘’sweet little water”
I have an idea. People keep asking Marina to find the origin of the words poo, poop, and sexy. Can you imagine if all Marina did was talk about poo, and sex all the time. So maybe I should make a video or a post explaining the origin of these words so people stop asking stupid questions?
‘er, James…don’t make an ass of yourself discussing “poo”…
as for “sex”…save it until you are old enough to really, really appreciate it…
IMO…
Next week?
Hi James,
In the recent past, Marina has said that she would do those vulgar type words which are part of the English lexicon, but she was looking into doing it in a way where her video would not get flagged. So, maybe you may want to wait, or get the nod from Marina….
It seems, on YouTube, you can swear like a drunken sailor and not get flagged, but wear a very classy dress, blouse or bathing suit, and wham, you get flagged.
Maybe Marina could do those words wrapped in a blanket, but have a close-up of her face so we can get lost in those gorgeous blue eyes.
Ok, perhaps I will wait and see what marina has to say. Thanks
I thought her eyes were green? I better take a closer look, or get this computer fixed…
Hello, I was just wondering why the term for a four-door/four-seater (and above) car is called a “sedan”? Where did the term “sedan” originate from?
Thank you.
Interestingly, my English dictionary gives the origin of “sedan” as unknown. However, I happen to know that Sedan is a chef-lieu in the Ardennes (France). Known for textiles, metalurgy, and beer. Also there was a Battle of Sedan, in which Napoleon III was defeated. I would think therefore that the word “sedan” is somehow related. Maybe Marina could look into this further to see if there is indeed a connection.
Homework: imported beer, scotch, whiskey, wine, and
of course vodka
5 stars
I realize that the word broad has a broad array of meanings, however I’m confused as to how it (in slang) can mean a woman. Perhaps the word’s history will help me out. I’ve heard women insulted upon hearing the word, and I’ve heard women refer to themselves as “broads” in a seemingly good way. Is it good or bad, or unrelated? Thanks again. – A42
Women have wider hipbones than men. Gotta have enough room for that birth canal. It’s that simple. Vive la difference!
I was expecting a broader definition.
i was wondering were is LOL coming from and was it created on the web or not
type in lol in google, and click the first link(probably wikipedia) there you have it.
foxbow15 ,http://www.youtube.com/user/foxbow15…….here you looking at you……
?
i think the word lol came from us dutch people . we use it a lot in text to show we liked it or having fun.
the meaning of the word lol , is also FUN in dutch.
so i think we dutch people are to blame fot it appearing on the internet.
aha i see on the wiki
also english use it for short “loads of fun”
i didnt knew that before
thnx for the info
I’m also dutch but I hate the word “lol” it sounds so stupid
Even tough I use it way to often -.-
I blame StarTrek – The Next Generation
They gave Data a robot girlfriend
named Lol! At least NOW we know it means “fuh”
Whoops! fuN LOL
Wasn’t his girlfriend , was his daughter by his interpretation, based off his own design.
Hey Marina
Have you ever looked into the ‘Black Country’ language? (the local dialect of a certain part of the Midlands in England)! If not, I recommend anyone to have a look, there any a couple of sites you can visit, it is quite amusing
Well if you’re ask me what i prefer to drink all over the day the answer is easy …. water and pepsi light
I am not a fan of alcohol at all it’s types.
origin of nosdrovia Polish? Russian? Both?
NA ZDROWIE is Polish and NA ZDOROWIE is Russian.
NA means “at, on” ZDRAVIE “health”. ZDRAV “healthy” PANSLAVIC
I drink Coca Cola like water every day. I know that’s not really good for health, but I can’t stop the habit. I want anyone to call it a sin. Well, in my case, hair of the dog doesn’t get needed….
I don’t drink alcohol..my friends say i’m a pussy but I don’t care, it’s not that I can’t drink it I just don’t see wy I should drink , it’s unhealthy and I can’t think of any positive reason of getting drunk.
I mainly drink water and milk
hehe, and whatever is in the fridge.
Good for you Foxbow, stay healthy
Nothing in excess, everything in moderation
Sometimes you have to try new things.
I didn’t like fish for a long time, now
I loves ‘em – can eat ‘em 3 x a day!
I try new things :p you don’t wana know lol
I’v tried bunch of drinks and they all taste like poison or pure sugar syrup to me.
Some things shouldn’t be tried at all.
You can jump out of an airplane, but
try it with a parachute first!
Lokk before you leap
I was talking abouth food and stuff :p my grandfather lets me eat the weirdest things lol from Cooked bear claw to rotting fish
i get tears in my eyes thinking back of that moment, horrible!! tasted like amonia.
Well there are some nice words now. At all why even don’t try to explain “Solaris” for the people around there. As often this word has been used for Operatingsystem (SunOS / Solaris) or Movie (Solaris the Movie) or a kind of Wine well could be intresting to get a intresting lesson for the viewers of hotforwords
Ther is no explaining that movie (Solaris)
George Clooney was great, but
whoever wrote it wasn’t even good.
Whisky and Vodka are both called the “water of life” in their lands of origin. Possibly from the latin term Acqua Vitae?
What about the French “eau de vie,” mon ami? That also means “water of life.”
I like whiskey – also called the water of life, if you translate the gaelic term for it.
Although I can remember not being able to remember anything because of drink in the past, these days a glass of wine with a meal, or a beer if it’s a curry, is enough for me. Gotta conserve my brain cells – the remaining ones are getting lonely.
my brain cells up & left long ago…i just hope to be a nice dodderin’, droolin’ old fool one day…
oh, wait…
Careful what you wish for, bro…
i prefer to think of it as “lustful longing”…
I like shots of archers (straight)
rum and coke
wkd
haha my cat just opened the door
beer
There hasnt been a teachers pet for a while lately, Over on youtube someone said i should try and eat soup with my hands, although i chose on the fork free day not to use utensils to add a more comedic effect some people do not get the idea. You don’t eat soup with a fork anyway. but what do you think if i try and make a video of me eating soup with no spoon
That would be clutching at straws.
do you thik i should do it or not
chunky soup would clog the straws…
If you can think of a way to make it entertaining or significant, then go for it. Don’t just do it because someone asked for it. Take a leaf out of Marina’s book – she only makes videos of the words requested if she can think of a way to make it interesting, amusing and/or sexy.
remember to keep both pinkies out when picking up the bowl…
must maintain proper etiquette…
No you should not do that, it’s totaly disgusting
Well, thanks for your support foxbow
You asked for opinions, and foxbow offered one. That IS support. I don’t think I’d be real quick to select a video of someone eating soup without a spoon either, if you want the truth. But at this point I’m unconvinced that you do.
OK OK OK, soup idea is offf.
Unless he could find Marina swimming about in his soup.
ok bob ill make an exeption there
She could swim in my soup if she depilates first and wears a shower cap!
sorry, i’d accept a hirsute or glabrous Marina…
it’s not the hair, it’s the woman…
No need to apologize. I prefer my soup sans pubes.
James? I think you should try a vegetable medley.
peas, corn niblets, broccolli, cauliflower, those little
baby carrots. And NO HANDS this time!
At least then there will be much humor in
seeing you try to eat the (colorful) veggies
that stick to your face! Maybe go around in circles
with your tongue pulled in that direction as if
in pursuit of a pea stuck to your cheek, just
out of reach (of your tongue). The funnier
you make these vidoes, the more longevity
the series will have. ie levity = longevity
a bowl of oatmeal (with raisins – gotta have texture)
might also be pretty funny! Keep playing with it.
Marina loves it when her students get busy!
James ,
Don’t make trouble for Marina ok?
Let it go. OK XP I have a lot of other forums that love blood sport.
I just love a good fight and she worried about her site. BORING .
rrr
WHAT!!! oh, are you leaving for good then, or will you come back because if you are going for good come over to sisyphian and say bye bye
Nice to see you mention your Father.
You mention in the video that in, is it, the Russian Orthodox church that the jug of vodka is passed around & is considered a sin not to partake. Who considers it a sin, the leadership, or everyone there?
The Catholic church did not institute the partakeing of the bread & wine at the remembrance table, Christ did… but my humble opinion is that most organized (christian) religions got away from what the remembrance table was about & made it into a ritual, without the heart & meaning intended, obscuring the picture, so simply portrayed by the emblems of bread & wine… which were just common items at everybodys table, in Christs time. Making wine was a common way to preserve valuable drink, as clean water for drinking was not always available, & didn’t store well pre. refrigeration. With a lack of grapes, as you say, in Russia, vodka, made from grain would have been a way to preserve valuable drinking fluid, as water can be scarce or even bad, making vodka the safe “water” to drink. Just wondering, was it the official Orthodox position to substitute the vodka for wine in the ceremony or just for convenience & availability? Just curious if anyone knows.
Enjoyed the video, BTW, always… cheers
The notion that Jesus drank a ‘little’ wine only because there wasn’t much choice is really a bit of modern revisionism. Water stores very well, wine doesn’t. But considering that the middle East was Roman territory at the time of Christ can a person really claim that there wasn’t ‘good’ water–the Romans were the masters at it. Follow where ever Rome went great water followed, they built aqueducts, bathed in it daily, their houses had running water…
Wine was a food product which Jesus of Nazareth partook of often and maybe at times in fair quantity, he said: some might call me a drunkard.
Roman Catholic’s consider the Eucharist a Holy Sacrament, of course it’s ritualized, but the sanctity is a belief that the spirit of Christ ‘actually’ enters that bread & wine in the church–every time.
Curious enough, it is believed that the first wine actually came from Russia where they dug big pits, threw fruits (grapes too) into it, covered it and later drank the mixture.
didn’t the Romans have the first piping system? made of lead?…
plumbum pignus…
Don’t know Latin, or even if Romans had lead piping but they certainly had lead–plumbum pignus could be modern Latin…
where the word SEXY come from??
where did the word phrase “Et cetera” originate from?
Et tu, Brute? Definitely old Latin
I’d like to know the origin of that word and every other word, too.
Im more of a brandy guy and im only 18 i prefer double shots or even better triple shots straight up with no chasers

hi marina word request polk salad
I thiink that’s poke salad. Poke is the common name for a leafy green that is found in the Southern States along the Gulf Coast.
Do you find pigs grazing in it?
Usually the Dunkin’ Donuts is a better bet.
Yes, in the vicinity of Ft. Polk, Louisianna
Poke is a corruption, I bet a doughnut!
Well, I used to be a rum drinker for the most part but since our deployment last year and the subsequent imposed “dry” spell..** we couldn’t drink for 16 months**…I’m sort of lost my taste for drinking. On the occasions I do partake, I usually like a Guinness or Morgans and coke. I have a friend who likes to experiment and will sometimes use me as his guinea pig. I’ll give him credit though, he makes some great Black Russians and he is a big vodka drinker. He does tend to go overboard sometimes though.
In keeping with the last video, he threw a Halloween party last year and made up a “house” shot he called a “Vampire’s Kiss”. I’m not sure what alcohol he used but I know that Tabasco and some form of Jalapeño figured prominently into it. After trying it I was reminded of a “Pearl of Wisdom” my father passed on to me years ago, “That a find drink is meant to be enjoyed, it shouldn’t have to be a test of manhood.”
I went back to the Black Russians after that…..
Ugh, can’t even spell…that’s what I get for being up so late…wish you had an edit function here Marina….I hate sounding like an idiot when I misspell words here….After trying it I was reminded of a “Pearl of Wisdom” my father passed on to me years ago, “That a FINE drink is meant to be enjoyed, it shouldn’t have to be a test of manhood.”
I’VE sort of lost my taste for drinking.
**hangs head in shame and reaches for the dunce cap**
why do people say cheese when taking a picture?
Because you can hold a smile for a long time while saying it. Watch yourself in the mirror and try to smile while saying “cheese.” Then try to hold a smile while saying something without that long “Eee” sound, like “Rose” or “Flag.” See what I mean?
Of course, the best way to get people to smile while photographing them is to say something totally unexpected that makes them bust out laughing. I used to tell people to “Take a deeeeeep breath….. Hold it……. hold it….(waiting that extra moment for comedic value) Now blow it out your ass!” And I always got excellent results, even from Grandma or the in-laws who can be very stodgy and stand-offish.
i like that answer
nekkid women make me smile, too…

Until two months ago I was living in the high mountain jungles of central Mexico, so having a cocktail in such a remote area was an ordeal.
So I made my own concoction I called Aqua de Agave (mescal) con Coco y Pina. These ingredients were available, it was the darn ice which was hard to get. A burro ride down the mountain then a 4-wheel drive to the blacktop highway; eight miles down a dangerous mountain road. Purchased the ice (10 pesos, wow!) retraced the route back up the mountain then at the fiesta we chipped away at the ice with our machetes, blended all the ingredients while someone was making cups out of a banana leaf (kidding). In conclusion we were glad we had to do all this before we had a few drinks.
PS So I had to watch all your videos in a two day marathon which is the moynf (milk out your nose funny) story.
Yeah! am I the 100th comment.
I onced toured the USA in a chevolay.
Teacher, please explain where member as in belonging to a group comes from.

Hi Marina, what is the origin of the word “loophole?”
And, what is the origin of the phrase “changing water into wine?” Not in the religious sense, but in the carnal sense.
If you don’t mind my asking, what IS the carnal sense of that phrase? It’s unknown to me, and I was a Preacher’s kid. We’re supposed to know all the nasty stuff there is to know.
Well, as I understand it; it is during the act of a woman performing oral sex on a man. Before he ejaculates, she takes warm water into her mouth, this is supposed to heighten the man’s pleasure, and then he ejaculates into her mouth. Thus, the phrase “changing water into wine.” I was just wondering how that phrase became associated with that particular act.

Looks like this site is really reaching a high-water-mark.
YOU? a PK? LMAO!
That explains a bunch of things!

Some wild stories I can’t tell you here!

water as in h2o, I have been know to drink some DiHydro Monoxide at times also, its good stuff, (caution should be used if mixing with fires however).
How about a nice tall glass of frosty H2So4? Mmmmmmmm!
Looks like you have already tried it, no thanks.
The concept of “water” is not rare for alcohol : WHISKEY is taken from Celtic Irish UISCE BEATHA “water (of) life”. UISCE comes from ancient Celtic ESCA “water”.
In modern French we still say EAU DE VIE “water of life”.
what about that word in german that has no real transaltion in english…its gemutlichkeit….theres an umlaut over the u …ok skip that one…heres a different one…the word fried…as in “getting fried” means your in the hot seat or in a cituation that may make one sweat…but how does that relate to the drug/alcohol version of “getting fried”…is it that this is your brain on drugs commercial?…just courious…
words like schadenfreude and
weltanschauung fit this category.
The literal word translation does
not convey accurately into english.
same for gemutlichkeit.

Oh no! Return of the Bluetooth man!

I separate the whites from the eggs

good thing you corrected that, since we all know she’s lookin’ at ME…
and gigglin’ once in a while…
Flirting, even?
Dear Marina,
I no longer drink alcoholic beverages because it isn’t healthy for me. I used to enjoy beer and wine, but no longer. So, I now enjoy tea, particularly organic green tea, served hot and Lipton’s Orange Pekoe, served as iced tea. In Chinese restaurants, Oolong or Jasmine teas are nice. I occasionally have coffee, but not the high-priced types. Plain water is also good for me. So, Marina, if you handle those vodka martinis, shaken and not stirred, you would be able to “drink me under the table” in no time. (And also take advantage of my passed-out person!) But I still think you are a nice young woman!
Your dear student, seesix CM6
My favorite drink other than wine is stoly right out of the freezer.
Can you answer this? When, where, why, what are all pronounced as if the “h” is silent. Why, then, is the word whore pronounced as if the “w” is silent?
Same as the word “who.” Just goes to show, for every English pronunciation rule there are probably at least several exceptions. Probably due to the large number ofcompletely different languages English is derived from; everyone from the Norse to the Franks to the Celts to the Saxons to the Romans (and others I may have overlooked) invaded it and left their imprints on the language at some time or other.

Fresh fish should smell like the ocean. If they don’t, they’re yesterday’s catch and they’ll smell fishy. Only good for bait at that point.
That’s one theory. I have been looking for information on it. There have been books that referred to “fishy stories” or “a fish story”, meaning a story that wasn’t true.
Hey there Newbies ,

I am a rum&coke ma, my self, but ometimes it is tequila shots, and beer. MMMMM beer.
I would like to find out about the word “savvy”. I seem to hear it used on TV and in movies fairly often. I also would like to know if there are any other words that use the double v. Thanks.
i seldom drink alcohol anymore, really…i’ve slowed down in my latter years…quite a bit…
but when i drink, it’s usually a mixed drink – Jack & Coke or 7 & 7, occasionally, but more rarely now, beer…shoot, beers are all about the same to me, except Coors & Rolling Rock
drank an awful lot of Blue Moon in Austin last summer…something about seeing the women at Bikinis Sports Bar & Grill made me thirsty…
oddly, i can drink several mixed drinks with few ill effects, but give me a couple of beers & i’m not only feeling fine, but making frequent contributions to the local water supply…
Getting older
I can’t even keep the hotforwords videos from mixing up in my head… ie Soccer & Vodka or like, from the radio show happy referee BTW my weakness for drink would be tequila, only drank it when I was in Mexico & only want to drink it again when I go back.
Mexico’s National Drink bumpkin style.
I remember going to work as a teen, before sun up, listening to this, by the Eagles (Wifes favorite band)
Sweet

Awww, Blue moon , that stuff can catch up to ya real quick!…like before you even know what happen
lol…well, actually i found the Blue Moon a mite weak…but it was cheap, and i was in Austin to ref at an adults’ tournament where i knew i’d be losing money bigtime, but was required to attend to maintain a national rating…
Where did the word cartalige come from, I mean it has nothing to do with a cart… or does it?
pepsi
Vodka is really tasteless, its the alcohol/impurities you taste rather than the vodka itself. You can test this yourselves, buy a cheap vodka like Absolut and a higher end, Grey Goose or my fav VOX….chill it in the freezer (don’t worry it won’t freeze), Grey Goose will be flavorless while you’ll still taste some of the Absolut.
And, Tequila shots…Cuervo 1800 or Patron… mmmmm yummmy
How did the word ASSHOLE evolve into meaning
a STUPID PERSON ?
Your name is … Jim?
YES !
No it’s… JIM!
Hm’kay – just making sure. ummm…
First time visiting Hot For Words?
You get called an asshole a lot?
my reply wasn’t aimed at you, RRR, but assholes are implicitly stupid…
or are they?…
they obviously know their shit…
okay, here’s my opinion:
assholes come in two flavors…
some are too ignorant to recognize they’re assholes (uneducated & educated alike can fit in this category)…this is what is meant by ignorant asshole! comments…
others are as you described, just plain mean jerks, out to deliberately harm another…mean asshole!-types…
that exhausts my store of sphincterisms…
nope, not everybody is an asshole, only that everyone can be an asshole at times…
i know i have [don't y'all run in with examples, either...
]…nothing like a bad day to bring out the assholeyness in someone…
and taking it out on others is part & parcel of being an asshole…
but, again, a stupid asshole, to me, is someone who just does NOT know any better…it’s not in their experience…
down here we have, unfortunately, classes of people who seem to just be simple-minded…not well-educated (there wa a 51% dropout rate among students headed for high school here in GA in 2001); some of the poorest of the poor here are just stupid…they can’t help it, they just are…
and sometimes these same folks do stupid, ignorant things…unintentionally…and these are stupid assholes
as for whether you are an asshole…
…:cool:
kinda a crappy question…
Nothing sinister intended.
Just wanted to know why he would care?
Does he believe that stupid people are being misrepresented. Or the Assholes?
Stupid people are sometimes very sweet and nice. And Assholes are very smart. To me an Asshole shows total contempt and disregard,
Can a truly stupid person do this?
But really, Can a truly stupid person be an Asshole?
That is a very good question for the Minions to discuss
Then what you are saying is that An Asshole shows. Ignorance?
Me, I think an Asshole is smart, cunning and dissipative, A liar and a back stabber. That Guy that talks smack behind your back and your friend to your face.
Huuumm?
Can it be said then, That everyone is an Asshole, The difference is in what kind of an asshole, … We are??
Like as for stupid;
In most cases, Stupid just means ” I think you are wrong “.
People call Dick Cheney stupid, really…. stupid?
You may think He is a lot of things…, but stupid?
When someone calls me stupid because they believe I am wrong, They are right to say I am stupid. ( Because, I think differently ) right?
Shit forgot my sig.
RRR
sphincterist
How did the word DICK evolve into meaning
a man’s PENIS ?
I think it’s because of the intense sexual activity of the rooster
In Russian KHUY means “dick” but the same word means SWINE in Arménian
So there is no traceable connection with the two?
Of course there is ! You can call your penis “my little darling swine”
In Thai KHUAY means Penis, but if you say it with the wrong tone or vowel sound , as many Farangs (foreigners) do, it can mean Buffalo or Banana. Go figure.
Thais also get a lot of laughs when Farangs talk about the River Kwai.
I presume FARANG means especially FRENCH ???
No, any Caucasian foreigner, although it is believed to be a corruption Français, as the French in Indochina were probably the first Caucasians that the Thais encountered.
You see how it gets on this site.
Bunch of big kids running rampant.

This place could grow on you, just
realize the way you get love, is show
love. My first comments got spitballed.
But I got better! With your picture
up there, people are more comfortable
and will respond, Marina. too!
I believe you may have thought
your comments were anonymous
and perhaps didn’t use your best
judgement, as to the tone they set.
Try this – Google pr7113 and see
that you are not anonymous, ok?
I read your page – you have a few
issues being discussed there that
explain the choice of tone you made
here. The whole love thing is easy
but people can be hard to understand
until you learn to let go of notions
(preconceived) and just accept them
where they are at. Come on back
and read some lessons. Marina is
a sharp cookie, eh? Get familiar with
the words list. You will pick up on
it quickler than you may think, now.
I would like to see you come up
with something unique to add here, okay?
PEACE!
I was wondering what is the origin of the word origin y call how a word began its origin?
I like iced green tea…
How did the phrase that woman has a”killer ass” evolve into meaning
that woman has a great ass ?
I would like to request “piffle”, “preposterous”, or “pontificate”… it is all about the P’s, I guess.
PONTICATUM is latin “function of PONTIFEX”.
The PONTIFEX is the Pope or “Bridges Maker”.
PONTI “bridge” + FEX “maker”.
Word(s) Request:
I kindly request the origins of the word Romance or Romantic as in romance novels, romance music, romance languages and romantic ♥ relationships and how are they related.
In a similar vein, Chivalry is considered a romantic ethic. Are these ideas and words dying out, and if so, what is replacing those ideals?
Did you ever see Dr. Detroit? Dan Aykroyd

I only drink occasionally these days,
usually 2-3 Heinekens when I do.
Depends on my mood. Corona’s with
a lime wedge, are tasty.
Mostly, Gatorade is my preferred
beverage, after coffee. I get the

These days, I kill a gallon a day.
If I drink water, I’m cramped and
crippled at the days end. I am
addicted to the stuff, I guess.
We’re averaging 90 degree days
and way high humidity last week.
Vodka always clears my sinuses.
Belvedere, Scmirnoff’s – not bad
Absolute (reserve from the decanter)
was the best I ever had.
Marina should explain the story
behind Cristal, bottled in clear
glass by a Russian czar’s decree!
I think it was a Romanoff, but
my Russian history is fuzzy
at best. Best to consult Marina.
of course Russian history is fuzzy…after all that vodka…
i have a word Salacious
its my nick name but and people always think its one of those made up words and they say like SAL A LICIOUS and i would love for you to look this one up, also people think i just got the word from the Star wars movies because one of the charactors name was Salacious Crumb… Ohh and im not Russian but i do drink lots of water..
well, it’s an interestin’ word…one of those that kinda describes an action (there’s a term for that, i think, but the alcohol in this vid is affectin’ my memory)…
anywho, salacious is from the Latin salax, which came from salire (”fond of leaping”) [see Marina’s most excellent lesson about Salmon…’cause males tend to leap on females for…’er…playful embraces…
which reminds me, i’ve got (warning: not for the purient) the doggie-style blues…
oh, and this is too cute to pass up…Marina, get Kobe one of these…
tears in my eyes – laughing so hard!
Marina will love “get Kobe one of these”
that dog is insane and loving it!
