Sniglets
I was table snorkeling at the restaurant when I looked up at my friend and started laughing so hard as she had some serious quadriboobage.. I mean major! Anyway… she was
telling me that she just discovered she had a Googleganger, and then I found that I had one as well.. I was so upset, I said, let’s go… and then my friend did some serious kidnapkinage.. saying she needed them for all the pupkus all over her car windows.. I told her I have the same problem with Kobe..
What did I just say??? Welcome to the world of sniglets!
What a clever lesson, and excellent way to promote lively particiption and discussion with the Homework!
Why do I have the feeling Marina knows what she is doing?
Hmmmmmm…
Because you are a smart person….Your most unhappy customers are your greatest source of learning.

lol…
marina my dear…..Detruncus (de trunk’ us) – n. The embarrassing phenomenon of losing one’s bathing shorts while diving into a swimming pool.
‘he wanna know the meaning of your name MARINA
its from the old romen language and means “sea” its origin lies in italy.
but your name is also populair in japan now.
well howabout that ? lol
could you explain the origin of the terms blue-collar worker and white-collar worker? I’d really appreciate it, because up till now I’ve been suffering from the delusion that blue-collar actually referred to a worker’s uniform and white-collar referred to a suit or tux. Please investigate and ease my confuzzled mind!
do they use that in amerika ???
yeah. blue-collar generally refers to factory workers and such, while white-collar generally refers to professionals.
Can you explain the orgin of TATOO
Thanks
-Troyboy300
Can you explain ZIG ZAG?
Thanks!
Hey Marina I was wondering the origin of the term “Tube” which is most commonly used as a slang term for TV, and is obviously found in the website YouTube.
Thanks so much!

Im just saying. Maybe im wrong. I don’t have a clue.
Hey I have another two or three sites for you to visitate
Everybody.. new video is coming shortly.. had an upload issue again! And, PLEASE… can everybody PLEASE just try to get along. Don’t worry about DEFENDING me.. nobody has to defend me… I am very capable of defending myself… just take a look at the YouTube comments to see what I am talking about.
There is NOTHING anybody could ever say to me that would hurt my feelings.. I learned to ignore the bad stuff when I first got into this. The more successful you are the more negative comments you get… NO NEGATIVE comments means NO SUCCESS! I WELCOME the negative comments!
I DO THANK YOU ALL for the effort to protect me.. but understand that it is not needed!! I’d rather you all ignore the bad comments like I do.. it feels good when you don’t allow someone to get to you… it pisses them off even more when you ignore them!
Thank you for being who you are.
my word this time…
and if i offended you with my weak sniglets, i again apologize…
Teachers Kung Fu is good! Mess with teacher and get karate chop to your keyboard..
Well said Marina!

HEY I’m new here but I’ll give it a shot anyway… Shenanigans is my little request for you i’d love to see you “ethymologize” it for me!
Hi pegasus71 and welcome to Hot For Words. I am the door greeter like in Walmart
Not just kidding, but we a glad to have you on board. 
Well welcome aboard pegasus71!
I’d like to know about shenanigans myself.
ginormous is that one (sniglet)
nope it’s a portmanteau.
Hello my dear sapiential teacher, could you please tell me how to use the phrasal verb “bust out”, and by the way : where is it from?
thanks in advance, God bless you, and your knowledge too.
be good as you have been, or better.
I would like to request the word “randy”
because I was reading the Ramayana and they mentioned the word randi which they explained in Sanskrit means whore. I was wondering if there was any connection.
Thanks!
What the hell earlier the video was number 30
now
#40 – Most Viewed (Today)
how is this possible / legal
If I’m checking the same numbers you are, mine say #1 for today…I looked on the YT channel and clicked “(more)” and it read #5 most veiwed today , in the Gurus class #1 for day, week, month
looks like #21 for all vids right now (Feisty is #4); and #8 of partners (and Feisty is #3)…
Thanks alx, can I make a suggestion?? In the next lesson there will be no getting into arguments with new people. Just ingnore them, Look how many people have left/leaving. We (hotforwords people (including alx!) Don’t like seeing people leave ) Also for alx.. Perhaps I should post a disclamer.. by
“we” and “us” etc lol
Too many big egos
James, You can relax.
Marina has been informed of the issues and is taking care of trolls as we speak. As for others that said they where leaving, some will be back if not all of them. So take a deep breath and lets get back to our homework. 
James, a little advisory, You should read up on how the Human Immune system works. Its capable of defeating even diseases that it has never encountered before.
Good one stokesjrj1 if only we could get our minds and egos to work that way when it comes under attack.
Did you know there is an eclectic scooter called the eGo?
http://www.egovehicles.com/products/north-america/
I almost bought one two years ago. Now Im looking at getting a Segway. I have been informed that the price is much better value and the product has improved. Its also more compact than an eGo cycle.

Hi Marina, being the Queen of Words I would like to ask you to explain
the word ” Innuendo “. Of all the English words, this is my favorite.
After Gorbatsjov, you are the best thing that came out of Russia.
The Man who shot my horse he got off Scott free.
You have got to be kidding? How in the heck did that happen?
table snorkeling: drinking through a straw
quadriboobage: either making dumb comments or has to do with
breast size
Googleganger: someone who is like you or your website, when
Googled
kidnapkinage: stealing napkins
pupkus: small poop
FMTYEWTK: For More Than You Ever Would Think…
Knowledgable??? Hell, I don’t know.
IMglish: instant message texting
crackberry: something to do with a blackberry? (never had one)
truthiness: wanting something to be true (of course)
keypals: friends you can text
Well, I posted what could be a sniglet about a week ago. But it is a little suggestive and I said I wouldn’t repeat myself. If you drop the ‘et’ in that word, it sounds like a stupid vulgar way of someone trying to whore themself around. So I won’t repeat it.
Dear Teacher,
We got a Major Green problem.
It’s your picture here for this video.
It’s so WARM and friendly and genuine, your melting the polar icecaps of our hearts.
Muhhha!!!!
Sounds like Marina has the car wash blues, Taking a tinkle and seeing a reflection in the water, sucking the tits on friendly neighboring cow down at the local watering hole Couldn’t be a horse they only have twin teats,taking a dump when you got the squirts,and using more toilet paper than uyou normally would,wiping the cum off your twat after a rambunctious round of gangbanging at the local rape party you willfully participated in as the wheel hub, need i say more? Its not hard to know what you saying when eye am the one who invente the system, you just a dirty little whorey little hole whose collected more than you can pass off to others, which makes you stuck on one square and checkmated. this talender brought to you by The Man who Wrote The Book
Huh? I don’t get the riddle
Stokesjrj1, your not making any sense to me.
Sounds like Marina has the car wash blues. Ohh, i have a sad story to tell. My girlfriend, April and I had gone to the store to get some party beverages to celebrate our upcoming nuptials.We then went to tell our families the good news. First stop was great grand paw Johns place but he wasn’t home so we just left a message in the mailbox and moved on to go tell her great grand parents. Being that they live real far south its like taking a trip to the south pole so we decided to do a little site seeing around the neighborhood. As we was turning to go down tumble weed trail to some of my girlfriends she was going to tell of the good news, a bullet from deer hunters rifle struck our horse a glancing blow in the point of the shoulder ( here is reference for you town folk http://www.gaitedhorses.net/Conformation/BodyParts.htm) well the shock of the blow knocked my hat off my head and the horse being stunned by the force of the bullet bucked a couple times and caused my girlfriend to loose one of the twins she was carrying.(thats why we was getting hitched being backwoods rednecks) Poor Sunshine never had a chance. Thats what we was gonna name the twins, Sunshine and Shadow. When The Deer Hunter came to see what he had bagged I asked him how could he have mistaken my black horse for a deer. He said he wasn’t hunting deer, he was Target shooting as this street ran along the back side of the local shooting range and wasn’t hunting and thought he was shooting at a large elk doe moving target that this shooting range employs at Times. Well the Neighbors all heard the Ruckus that was being raised, one of them fetched the local authority who said this was out of his jurisdiction, he then fetched one of the local Rangers. Well thats all I can say now, The Rest of this tale is scheduled for another book. The moral of this story, sometimes you can be in the right place at the right time and it makes all the difference in the universe. This story brought to you by The Rangers Ranger and his trusty side kick The Shadow.
This tale brought too you by The lo
That really sucks. My dad used to have to horses when I was little. Their names were Thumper and Raven.
Now there is a word “Ruckus” I see I’m not the only one that uses that word today. I wonder if there is an interesting story behind that word?
“Well, ” Well” “CaptainJack ” “IF You Gonna Have/Raise Horses,” ” You Gotta Now How To Breed/Raise Horses” “LIke MY Father New How to Breed/Raise Horses”
Hum, that link you entered before….. is it a private message you sended to me ?
I know I also post some bader comments, but……. this one is a interesting one !
I think I have this this year. Electile Dysfunction—The inability to become aroused by any of the candidates in an election
That’s funny Capman…..
Vote ! You are a bad erector !
And it will be another 4 years before we can hope for a cure.
Maybe we can have a telethon.
How about telethong? Oh that doesn’t work hu?
Telethong? Are we bidding on Marina’s skivey’s??
I’ll place the first bid.
Ok everyone. I have been in email contact with some of the regulars to this site. Most of them are taking sometime off until the flames die down and go away. Others might return someday. Not all is lost. Lets just not to respond anymore to anyone who you feel is flaming just to get attention. Flaming has been going on for many years in other posts as you already know. Its best just to ignore them and move on.
So does anyone have any ideas for new Siglets that we could use today? Lets make some up and see what others think about them.
Well…I think this one is just great…misunderestimated………
Yeah…it’s a Bushism, like truthiness is, but I love it. We are all misunderestimated here at this website.
Love it.
Good one. I have a few that I made up. They are right on the tip of my tongue. I just can’t remember right now.
I heard one new one, to me, just today- Blogfodder- I’m sure excactly what it means, but it sounds funny!
I’m NOT sure what it means.
This is a portmanteau and a significant problem for me:
I am a CHOCOHOLIC……
I think it means blog sh1t. Fodder on the farm means just that, do do. And yes there has been a bunch of blogfodder flowtating amungstest the memberites.
@ BoArgMir I’ll rent a chocolate machine and we can dip all kinds of fruit and candies in the chocolate. Me a chocoholic too. Just love m&ms
Oh that’s what I need to get at the market today. I’m out of chocolate! I have to have my daily dose of chocolate. I’m allergic to pesticides in milk chocolate so I have to buy organic or dark chocolate.
Good thing for you guys to remember. If any woman gets angry or is just a bit upset with you. Share some chocolate with them. It always seem to smooth thing over with fellow female crew members that where upset at someone or something. It’s very hard to keep crew happy when they live in small quarters aboard ship, 24 hours a day for 7 days straight.
Ok I need some help on this one. What qualifies as a Siglets? Im I correct in assuming it’s just two or more words put together that are not in the dictionary?
A friend of mine and I came up with “AJs” Meaning Average Joes. We used it a lot in our discussions. So would that be anacroynm or Siglet?
I think the only rule is it should be somewhat funny.
…you can just make a word up… derived from other words or not… 
(oops – I meant Mariana!) sorry.
Just so you know… it’s not me. too many bills to pay…
Who is Mariana?
Marina’s sister is named Marinara
A saucy babe.
Dear Mariana,
You are a very cunning linguist!
Thanks!
Bill
you’re fantabulous Marina!
Its getting even worse now that we can’t comment on what we have always commented on without being chided by someone new. They don’t think of the percussion their comments is going to reverberate too. They don’t understand the relationships between us and Marina. It’s different here than on utube. If the new people would just observe what goes on here first instead of criticizing right away then they might understand the jesters and word games we make are all in fun and games. I think I’ll just visit and watch the videos on utube and call it a day. No more commenting for me on either channel unless it is to say hi to you jackals. I care about you all as friends for those who want to be friends. But if we kept the comments as just answer the teachers assignments and not comment to each other or add small sniglets as she asks then this is going to be one boring site. Marina may as well take out the reply buttons. I guess it’s going to get just like in school, say a dirty word and be punished by someone for talking dirty. But forgive me for trying to take up for pulsionsinconscientes with my comment to annudermale about pulsionsinconscientes English because I thought he was having problems translating to English. A lot of new or even older members appolgize for there bad English and we tell them that is ok because we understand what they are trying to say. But they don’t take offense at it. I hope you are satisfied now pulsionsinconscientes for you have run off a member that cares a lot about this site and it’s people. I know I am easily discouraged over events like this. When an unhappy day comes then I just give in. Annudermale and Captain Jack I’ll see you all on you other channels.
Capman,
Don’t let the jerks censor you. Come on! They love this….getting the regulars riled up and out of here.
You jerks know who you are. I won’t name you so as to not cause more trouble, but can’t you all just get along with the regulars that were here watching Marina’s videos here on her website way before you brought you sorry little selves here??
Really…………Get a Life………..if you get your jollies upsetting other people, I wonder what you are like in the outside world. No, I don’t really care.
Thanks BoArgMir I’m not going anywhere after I read the comment about him wanting to be deleted from Marina’s account. I went back through the videos and I think he joined about half way into sisphean and started just ridiculing people from the very start. He had three or four members right away he was chiding because of their comments. Every comment he made after that was ridiculing other people. He never had anything good to say except to Alx. I just want to go off on people like that like RRR does. But I restrain myself until I get overwhelmed with anger and just give up for awhile. Then I am ok.
@ Capman: Good man!
Thats the quality I like about you Capman. You think things through to see what it really is all about.
@ BoArgMir: Your exactly right about them just trying to stir up trouble so they can feel good about themselfs.
I guess what we all should do is just ignore flaming and keep on track of commenting on the lessons. Part of what we are here for is learn something. I for one have learned so much from Marina’s lessons that is changed my negative view on the English language enough to start learning more about it. Im even thinking about writing some poetry.
The other part is all of us joining together and discussing the lessons so we can get a clear understanding. Every one of us students is an important part of this class. Without you what is the point for Marina to do what she does if there is no student here to listen?
I hope everyone will join me into hanging in for a day or so to give Marina time to put out the flames. If we all work together and support our dearest teacher in this forest fire, all will be well soon, I promise you.

Hey ole friend, I am cool now. It’s just how other older members here took up for whats his name. I haven’t returned any e-mails to you because I have the gout in my left foot. It’s pretty much kept me on pain pills an cholchicine for a day or two. The pain pills work some, but when uric acid builds up in the toe joints it crystallizes and is very painful. I tried the WL but to no avail. I feel better today a new horizon so to speak. I read a comment I left to someone about what Bob and Billy B left for me a while back about stop, take a deep breath and relax and know every thing is ok. I just had to vent this morning, sorry it is on Marina’s site.
Sorry Marina
I wish we had somewhere we could go to blow off steam. My wife would just tell me to blow something up. As we do this all the time to beaver dams. Then relocate the beavers. I keep my muskrat around as he takes care of the ditch banks between fields. So now back to how some progress can be made. How can we help Marina. if she wants the help to settle down and encourage good members to join her site. She has some excellent members here, but the more the merrier. Love ya all including you Marina most of all.
Jack If you finally or ever have children is that what they will be called jack-als. A little sniglet there.
I left out what the best part of what jack-als means jacks-angles
Capman,
Sure I understand. I might be able to set up a page on my site for ones to blow off some steam (I think though it would be better to have a private page to do this on HFW.). Its an important us to do so. Makes us feel heard. Helps us to get things off our chest. Its an important human emotion to voice off things that bother us and not to keep them pinned up inside. We are friends and good friends help each other when we need to blow off some steam.. Its good for us as long as it doesn’t get out of hand. Capman your always welcome to email me your thought to blow off some steam.
** Update ** Marina is aware of the flaming and is taking care of it. I heard the ruler slap on a few desks already and those flamers are going to be sent to the principles office right away! So class is back to normal. Lets put all this ruckus behind us and get our homework done before we get an “F” for failure to turn it on in time.
Thanks for the update…..I’m off to do housework……….shame on such a pretty Saturday.
Capman, I had a few sea scouts that said I would make a great father. I see that to be one heck of a great complement. I don’t know if I will ever have any kids or not. For now I just rent them on the weekends if I need to. Rent?!?!?
Yea, thats what’s cool about being in sea scouts. I deal with the kids on the weekends and then send them home on Sunday and let the parents deal with them the rest of the week. It works for both parties. Parents get a break and I don’t have to raise 20 kids. Imagine the cost of sending all of them to college… 
We all neighbors around here right?
Capman911, Don’t do this. Think about it. All the people that have started flame wars have gone now and soon p….scientes will be gone too. Why are we (people that write alot) being driven out by others, look how many major people have gone this week. Please don’t add to this list. Thanks
Lets hope so OKFN
Dear Marina,
Could you please do the word, “cunnilingus?”
Thank you!
oh, that’s smart-talk…
annudder; For what ever it’s worth I’d like to say that I thought you acted like a total gentleman today…
Bill,
Since your word request has been requested numerous times and has still not been addressed, I took the liberty to look it up.
After reading Wikipedia’s entry on this word, I see absolutely no way that Marina can make an educational video on this word without getting some serious backlash at YouTube.
So hopefully that word and the word Masturbation will stop getting requested so much. There is just no way she is going to do those, unless she does them on her radio show where she can speak more freely.
BoArgMir
OH and by the way………here is a sniglet for you!!
Ignoranus: A person who’s both stupid and an a++hole.
THAT WAS MY ENTRY FOR THIS VIDEO—-NOT A SLAM AGAINST BILL…..
lol…yes, i think that was understood, BoArgMir…
*sigh*…perhaps we’re all a mite weary and overwrought, and double-checking ourselves…
off to do yardwork…
I often say the word severously on accident. It is a combination of seriously and severly. That is my made up word.
Dear Teach,
Wow! This is a wonderful and timely lesson. I had never heard of sniglets before and now I see them everywhere. With all the talk of people leaving the site (please don’t!) and angry words (ouch!) your feminine touch and good humor is so welcome. “Sniglets” got me looking into other such words and I found a great one: absquatulate. It’s what I sincerely hope your loyal and dedicated subscribers do not do.
das vadanaya, Q
quiggles, I too never knew what sniglets were either. It sound like a very interesting world of new words.
where did the word “holiday” came from?
If you do “holiday”, if you could also mention the Navy usage which refers to a patch missed when painting ( we called it preserving ). Thank you.
A SWOS-ing good question
I guess they were just ahead of their time etymologically speaking.

i think its holly day the orginal
mmmm cant find hollyday on wiki ,
but it makes sense ,maybe it comes from holy-day and the church came up with it
.i dunno
still waiting for marina to go into that
in our country the netherlands we only say ” vakantie “
Holy Day.
perfect breast Marina
I use the word “GAYDAR” all the time. I stole it from the tv show “The Office”.
I belive I have a nice one here——> Boomster (boobs + holster) n. The effect that´s caused when opening a bra.
Truly have to refine it.
there is also the more known ” over-shoulder-boulder-holder ”
I got a Youtube video when i entered it into the google toolbar….man, this is crazy.
So let’s make a little list of everyone who thinks udder man’s (why not just tits man, udder man?) sense of humor (“droolin’ over your perfectassness”) is screamingly funny, to be applauded and to be defended:

2) pedantickarl

Congratulations guys, you’re all the teacher’s pets today!
pulsionsinconscientes, i give up…you simply have to be right, there’s no two ways about it…
yes, the initial post was crass, and, in your view & some others’ i’m sure, sexist, lewd, and insulting…
i owe nothing to you, but as i’ve already said, i concede your point…i withdraw from this bickering…
“annudder” is simply a misspelling of “another”…if i wanted to be a teat-man, it would have had to be “anudder”…
i will again apologize for any slight, intentional or unintentional, you believe i have made to you…some were retaliatory, some not – all were unnecessary…
good day to you…
That is incorrect. I don’t have to be right. I am right and you know it. With friends like you and your cohort, Marina has no need for enemies.
Annuddermale, Hows your mother Virginia? I hear she’s needing to speak with you?
SOrry Marina,
Hey JACKASS,
Go off and #uck your self OK…….. These Guys are trying not to make Problems for Marina . It upsets HER to no end.
Her people DO not want fighting on this SITE OK?
GO away if you can not be CIVIL …..!!
This is not the place for your crap!!!
#1 Jackal
No need to be sorry RRR.
yes, again i apologize, Marina…
but RRR, while i appreciate your comments, let’s take annudder (’er…another) route and just quit responding…
as someone had already cautioned me…
Oh, I’m I glad to see you!
…I knew this guy would draw you out of hibernation…don’t be a stranger. 
This very interesting coming from you RRR.
You seem to like a fight. I’m happy that you didn’t fall for the bait of flamers. 
Good to see you.
Dear all involved,
..Why not forget about it? Put the past behind you, brand new day tomorrow
Its all good! No worries, move on…….
Now SSHHHHHHHH, class is in session, so enjoy, have fun
Be well, peace out!
pulsionsinconscientes, I have been reading your posts this morning and it appears your just here to cause a ruckus.
You asked to be unsubscribed and yet your still posting. So I ask you why are you still here?
I can see your main purpose here is just to start a flame war and insulting my good friends.
Nobody wants you here. So go away. Your not welcome here. Please stop posting your flames. I don’t want to see you back here again.
Marina is very busy with many projects. She will have your removed at her next opportunity.
—
Amen to that Captin..
of course…
and i’ll leave it at that…
hopefully you will, too; if not, that will speak volumes…
I’m sorry about this and I don’t want to get into any trouble but pulsionsinconscientes SHUT THE FUCK UP
My God do you have to try and wind every one up. You asked to unsubscribe, so don’t post anymore Why make a list of names? To wind people up.. Well you have wound me up and alot of other people (apart from alx 
)
you said you simply have to be right
That is incorrect. I don’t have to be right. I am right and you know it.
You just contradicted yourself!!
Hi again RRR Nice to see you
Sorry Marina, Please forgive me.
James
you’re getting better.:)
attaboy.
Hi alx I replied to one of your comments somewhere at the bottom. about the we thing..
got it. uh. i replied to another comment somewhere else … duh … time for marina to upload a new lesson, can’t find shit here anymore.
hello!
I would like to know about the word “grass” and “sex” meaning.
thank you…and xoroshevo dn9
I am going away on Wednesday, I will be back Sunday.. So don’t worry if you don’t see me much, I have not left..
i was gone for a week once and no one noticed…enjoy your holiday…

Agent HotForWords,
Thank You for sending Boris Badinoff to my house for final KGB training and exams.
Sorry, I’ll have to do remedial training to avoid Comrade bottoms. 
I earned my secret decoder ring.
Agent Boris clued me in on the first mission of KGB, “Kill Moose and Squirrel”. It was on the exam.
Boris and Natasha really please with my agent control.
I trained agent fish to roam the seas and execute detruncus on beautiful bottoms.
But Boris said it was an old GRU trick.
Boris and Natasha had me do video research on quadriboobage for the last question.
But alas I failed on my mission.
This is a far as I got.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=z6daKcLtZ-I
I call it ohmygoshaboobage.
But all I could say at the time was ah bah ah oh wha.
Natasha forgave me, but Boris is still a little blinded
Natasha said I could still pass my exam if I just stopped detruncusing Comrade Agent and got her to say the KGB motto:
“Kill Moose and Squirrel”
Please help.
I’m curious as to where the word, “Babysitter” comes from…. someone sitting on babies?? hehe
Do you mean Babyshitter ???
similar to dog-sitting & housesitting, i’d guess (and i think these latter two probably came after “babysitting”)…”sitting” just means “to watch”…
here’s some babies y’all can sit:

My apologies to all for adding to the muckraking below. Pulsionsinconscientes had some valid points to make, and I’ll try to remember them in future postings. This is a fun site and deriding others is not appropriate. My apologies to Pulsionsinconscientes for not simply saying, “Yes, I see your point.” and letting it go at that.
Marina, you already have my note…mea culpa…
Your note??? I hope thats not a resignation note you are on about
James, my note was to Marina and is not for public consumption…but, no, i do not contemplate leaving – perhaps cutting back, but not leaving…
Not exactly a sniglet; Benny Hill used to make reference to a better word than hemorrhiod to describe a medical problem – a word that is already in the English language but refers to something else.

Please unsubscribe my account.
That’s to let ! You belong to Marina !
oops ! too late !
Excuse my Frentch Aksent !
It makes sense. If we are
then you wouldnt want to be here would you..
James, let his comment go….i know i should have ended it much sooner, but like someone said, there was a full moon last night…
no more slamming from this direction…
The thing that winds me up though, is not the arguments. It’s the people that start them pushing people that got involved into saying “sorry, I should understand” they should be apologizing for winding everyone up and practically pissing the whole of HFW.com off
i’ll say it again: speak for yourself.
who the hell are you to speak for “the whole of hfw”?
For gods sake alx!!
I Use it as a general term! Obviously not the whole of HFW as not every one will be online.. sorry I mean
pissing the whole of HFW.com off minus alx who takes things too literally
thanks. that’s more like it.:)
James……..
Ain’t that the truth.
Hello, Marina… acethebathound here…
I found a definintion for table snorkeling…
Here goes…
Table Snorkeling (tay’ bul snawrk’ ling) – n. Frantic gesticulations when one bites into hot food and has to take in air to cool it off.
At least that’s what one person on The Slang Thread thinks…
Cheers,
acethebathound.
Ok I’m confused… I though it was for walking table to table introducing ones self. Is this incorrect?
Is that what it means? Okay, Thanks for straightening me out, Captain Jack…

couldd you tell us why the word “Wimp” or “Wimpy” mean’s weak or nerdy
Favorite women bloggers?
http://ma.tt/2008/07/favorite-women-bloggers/
What´s that ?
You are a blogger right?
/dreamy I luve you, they have some funny Star Wars movie on the Home
Would I even be considered a blogger? I actually don’t think so… I’m a video blogger of sorts I guess…
a vlogger, i’d think…Wikipedia describes a video blogger as a blogger using video (duh!), and
…so it is apt…
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blog
“A blog is a website, usually maintained by an individual, with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, OR other material such as graphics or VIDEO”"
well you post a video everyday so….i think you can consider yourself a blogger …right..?
Marina ! Of course you are a blogger ! You even take more risks because to show yourself everyday is much more difficult thant to show only your texts. If People after one year are not fed up with you, it means that you are doing well.
Anyway you are the only case I know on the web. The success be with You !
Yes, Marina I will write about you (nice things of course. Not that you are a 300 year old vampire)
Hey isn’t the term “blogging” or the word “blog” a sniget its self?
Smokey, It sounds like it could be. How does one know if a word is a sniget or no?
sniglets …? never heard of snigets
any word that doesn’t appear in the dictionary but actualy should is a sniglet 
Marina ! Here I was the First
Notice how you start out first commenting and end up last. Then your comment might not seem to go with the original text involved.
Maia Marina, Did you read my Horse Story up above, I got kicked by that same Horse on my left side this one time, feels like it pulled a rib. Been in an industrial accident and lost the tip of one finger, got hit in the right rib cage and felt like i lost a rib then too. Good thing i was borne with 1 bone missing from my body any way. Damn March of Dimers, trying to cure the one and only needed thing to keep the world running have made a system which is almost not worth saving, actually though there just involved with the Mcgreedys, Who need to realize there is such a thing as too much of a good thing to their own destruction own if taking too far.
I would imagine pupkus is referring to the bird deification on her window.. the kidnapkinage would be stealing napkins from the restaurant, table snorkeling is either looking under the table or drinking water through a straw.. Googleganger probably refers to the people of an age group to brows google and would know you over the internet watching you. I have NOT a CLUE as to what quadraboobage would be, and I imagine what I would guess is on the wrong path..
Anyway, very odd..
Word Request:
I was listening to the radio on my way home from work yesterday when the Mighty Mighty Bosstones started playing ‘The Impression That I Get ‘. I don’t know if you’ve ever heard the song before but it centers around the phrase “Knock on Wood”.
I was surprised to see that you haven’t done a video on it yet and so that is my request
Where does the phrase “Knock on Wood” come from?
I find that a more appropriate name would be “PupKiss”, and judging by the “Fiesty” video, Marina has it all over her face.
deification or defecation ?
depilation
I had to down load that site Bob that was good
Hello Marina,
I just stumbled across your website and watch the Vodka video, and thought that I would write and ask for you to explain two words for me.
“Birch” and “Wynd” together it is the name of vodka we are soon going to produce called “Birch Wynd”
It will be interesting to see what you come up with. Have a look at our site http://www.sapworld.ca. When we get it completed I would love to personal present you with a bottle.
You said that vodka is like water in Russia, well our vodka is like velvety water. SMOOOOTH
Thanks and have a most wonderful day.
Craig
This Birth Wynd bottle made me remember my first job I learned.
(proportional plus integral controller)
I learned plasterer, and to go through it with some “respect” I had to drink beer like a donkey, and to make sure that a wall is straight you drank some beer to ensure it, sometimes without beer you were not sure about that, but after one bottle that looked different…you could just say it is straight or not + – 1cm on a 2.5-3m wall…..for a 5 m wall you needed at least 2 bottles
I guess the bottle also will turn sort of straight when it is half-empty
it´s an inside joke, so please don´t change your bottles
I Know what will cure this just a few sips of Grand Mariner (TM{:}TM)
Dear Teacher,
I just watched a favorite old movie, “Local Hero” (1983), set in a scenic village on Scotland’s northern coast. The film has a character named MARINA, a marine biologist and pseudo-mermaid. Another character is named STELLA, and the SEA & SKY combo play an important role in the story. There is also a character initially known as THE RUSSIAN.
For these reasons and more [such as the phone box - Is there a word for objects or places that only come in to existence after they appear in a movie; if not then I suggest cinapropos] I highly recommend this film. And in honor of its setting, do the Scottish words LAD(DIE) and LASS(IE) have etymological interest?

QUESTION FOR AMERICANS!
In England we often call cigarettes “fags” “I’m just going for a fag”
But in America, it means a gay.
What other words do americans for a cigarette. Or is cigarette the only word.
They call them smokes as well.. can’t think of any other ones right now.
England has lots of words for cigarettes. But none for cigars I don’t think. But I don’t smoke cigars.. And I never will, disgusting. Also, Have you sent any report cards out recently ? I have never had one before..
cigarettes are also called butts around Washington DC metro area. That would be parts of VA, MD and maybe DE. Example: ” Got and butts Joe?” or “I am going outside for a butt.” Can also be used to refer to a partially smoked cigarette. Don’t forget the diminutive; ciggybutts. Now that usage should sound weird in your part of town.
It just dawned on me that I know the sound ciggy + butts but never spelled it till now.
Help! OK, this is from Safari’s speller via Thesaurus
cigarette
noun he’s outside, having a cigarette\
informal smoke, butt, ciggie/ciggy, cancer stick, coffin nail;
Brit. informal fag.
When I was in the Royal Navy, cigarettes were known as DFs – short for Duty Frees, because at that time everyone could have a monthly ration of tobacco at Duty Free prices, along with their daily ration of Navy Rum.
Both rations have been stopped a long time ago.
Now that we, in the UK, have a blanket ban on smoking in workplaces and public enclosed spaces (including bus shelters), all smokers have to go outside to smoke. This has led to cigarettes being referred to by the euphemism, “fresh air”, as in, “I’m just going out for a breath of fresh air.”
Go figure!
coffin nails is another slang term for cigarettes
darn it -.- I wanted to say that :p but the post man just brought me cod4…
yay
coffin nails
and cancer stick…forgot those…
I find both cigars and cigarettes disgusting…….
pipes & cigars are not to my liking; i grew up around cigs, so i tolerate ‘em, even enjoy that first whiff, but after that it’s gagful…
oops – shoulda been “gawful”…
Camel or Cowboy Killers, Cancer Sticks, a smoke… that’s all I’ve got.
Friends, timeouts, (cowboy killers)…mostly smokes
…going for a burn….
i don’t smoke, but i’ve heard cigs , ciggies, butts, fags (yes, even here), and stogies (more common for a cigar, i think) Roger Williams’ King of the Road (I have the vinyl you see in the opening scene – it’s an old monophonic album)…
This is from another site:
On vinyl!? Sweet! …I like that song
…first heard it in the movie Swingers …I most relate to “Mikey” 
“grits” or “grechel” or “sigy” or “shmoda” or “death stick”–as in, “I’m goin’ out to choke(smoke) a grit(cigarette), come with(do you want to come with me)?”
In America some people call cigarettes fags. My Dad and Mom grew up with them being called that, and my brother and I both say “wanna fag up?” ( when I used to smoke)
Wow! I got hit with comment spam there! Killed his account.. should be fine here! Sorry about that!
——–>don´t fall, stand tall
Here is what caused the problem in a round about way It was a dumb blond you might have known
this is insanely freakee if you opposed to such behavior on the internet
Ha, I love your video tags ” intelligence is teacher ” … yes.. yes it is
Hum, stokes….. why it is freaky ? I can find “Sex” everywhere, in a libary, gas station, bookshop…… It is just what i´m searching for !
The internet is just the easiest way (you don´t even have to get out of your chair), it is just about which word you type into google.
WHO EVER WANT TO FIND SEX WILL FIND IT; HE/SHE/IT DOESN´T NEED THE INTERNET FOR IT, IT IS JUST HOW MUCH YOU ARE WILLING TO DO FOR IT !!!
hello marina, i would have a word request, a word which i find inetersting: “wannabe”. it is very popular and it’s clear what it means, but where did it come from? i heard that the word was invented in the 1980s because of madonna. Back then, everybody would copy her style, so they were called ‘wannabes’. Is it true? if you’d have the time, i’d like it if you investigate the origin.
thanks!

Hey, chevolay, ya know you got a busted windshield where a missile projectile of some sort hit the windshield.
Good morning chevolay. I just read your post so I guess its good evening now for you?
Cheers!
My favourite sniglet is “Prairie-dogging”; it happens in those huge open-plan offices where people work in cubicles formed by moveable, shoulder-height partitions. If some disturbance is caused, all the little heads pop up from the cubicles to see what is going on, like Prairie Dogs popping out of their burrows.

Its been a while since I have done this. But today I have made Marinas video the most viewed ever, with over 8 billion views. Here is the screenshot I made http://img143.imageshack.us/img143/1290/hfwqe8.jpg
You used The gimp to do that?
Here’s also something cool :p type this code over the website url that you want to change

Now you can re wright the text and take a screenshot or something to fool your friends
No I edited the source in opera
somebody asked where ‘coined the phrase’ the phrase came from.. that would be interesting to find out.. please?!
A Crackberry is Amy Winehouses favourite fruit. Along with Cannabis Opium, Mushrooms & Tobacco. It makes up her 5-a-day
They have to be with white “sherbert” inside. I am quite happy with myself for making that one up
perhaps sherbert could be a request maybe?
I never order sherbert but always love it when it is forced upon me. God, I hope I’m talking about the ice fruit dessert and not subconsciously referring to drugs…
Do you subconsciously take drugs then?
Humm Now THAT is food for thought!
Tasty mushrooms. and why is your head green
That’s a funny one James, I now have the sniggles!
Good one James, Go to the head of the class now
i duno….. you were blowing bubles in to your drink or something, then you started laughing because you’re friend had suddenly enlarged breasts…And then she tells you she found someone on the internet with the same name as her. And then you found out there was someone with your name to. So you were upset, and left, but before you 2 left your friend stole a bunch of napkins because her dog decided to smear his nasal fluids on the windows. And then she asked wat does “far more than you ever wanted to know” means…
i’m gonna go back to bed now ….
But you’re not good at “instant messaging” language. crackberry….iduno is that a cracked Blackberry….?
And she wanted to be in constant contact with her email friends .
pfffffffffffffff-.-
These comments remind me of this http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Snoop_Dogg
Hwk:
.
Detrunkus is when the bottom half of da bikini falls off-us.
Table snorkeling is face down at your laptop (MacBook).
Qaudriboobage is breasts imprints pushin’ through or too outlined by
clothing (?).
Googleganger must be when you see a reflection of yourself in the screen, or, you know, background’s stronger than the screenage.
Kidnapkinage is taking an excess of napkins from an establishment to use elsewheres.
Pupkus is slime left from a puppy.
Some family members are always trying to make ‘new’ words as if it is really cool, will catch-on becoming popularized and make them famous I think a lot of it can be dribbage, or maximus dribbikus, BUT this is an important lesson on language and not just skankdom.
Oh, yeah, Imglish is instant messaging short hand & crackberry is people addicted to their BlackBerry (texting & games etc.)
I went and looked back at the last video and I never saw anyone saying anything about sniglets..
she doesn’t make the video’s right away, this vid could be a week old or something.
You say that Rich Hall “coined” the phrase ’sniglet’.
How did that term come about?
(I mean the term ‘coined the phrase’, not sniglet…)
I was wondering how the vulger words used today are vulger when they use to be used in society everyday without offending anyone.
like s**t was (I think) used on ships to discribe cargo
and f*** (I heard when I was in college) originally ment to plant or to plow.
Thats interesting.
That’s right ! In modern French we use LE BAISER for THE KISS and this word is 100% correct BUT…
If you use BAISER as a verb it means TO FUCK !
Incredible but true !
wow
I shall never tell a french person ” I kissed my mother goodbye”
I always used to giggle at the slogan for the French supermarket “Geant Casino” – “Au Geant Casino, on fait baisser les prix.”
Great video! I had a word request and since I did it so late on the last video I decided to comment here as well.
What is the origin of the word Dipstick? And why does it stand for someone who is foolish in the slang definition?
Dipstick is the stick that goes in a car for the oil level I guess it is frome that.
My imagination tells me that before fuel gauges you would check the fuel level with a stick.
Then one day someone did it with a lit cigarette and the car blew up. So now if you’re called a dipstick you are being called a moron.
Sexy picture during the video
! I could look at stare it all day if necessary
Marina, what is the origin of the phrase “Going Commando”?
i don’t know but i love to use it, i usually go comando
i’d like to know too marina
Look out your window, it’s a full moon
Can’t ya feel it? Howl!!
Wow! …good call!
i’d make a remark, but it would be cheeky of me…
Be cheeky…please!
I wonder how a night out in the town feels like with Marina.
like this:
Shindig shindig shindig shindig shindig shindig shindig BOB BARKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Where did the term shindig come from? I’m thinking it has something to do with a week end pool. Thats where you dig a hole all week then put a tarp in it and fill it with water so you have a pool to swim in and it costs you next to nothing. But thats just my theory, tho its not based on anything in particular.
And just out of curiosity when you dream do you speak one language in them or is it just a big mess of them with people talking to one another in diff
Well I do know what a quadraboob is, so I’m not totally out of the loop.
Wow this sniglets lesson just went over my head. Well some of the new ones did. You know you should make a game once a week using sniglets.
I used to watch that skit “No necessarily the news”. Funny show.
Hey Marina, I like the photo for your Sniglets video. Your head is tilled just a bit and you have a nice smile. Is so precious.
hello captain jack have you ever done any ship work on the great lakes michigan huron superior someone was telling me that the storms in the great lakes are worst then in the ocean is that true he said that when they send the ships out two at a time because of the knowledge of both captains
I have never worked in the Great Lakes. Yes the Great Lakes can be very dangerous, but not anymore dangerous than the ocean.
See: <November 10, 1975 the bulk freighter Edmund Fitzgerald sank in Lake Superior with all hands.
Now days we have more sophisticated electronics for navigation and better weather reporting than we had in the 70’s. So the odd of sinking is reduced.
Im not aware about sending two ships out at a time. It doesn’t sound practical to do so. All ships are in radio contact with one another. We also have AIS (Automatic Identification System) in place so we can see the status of all vessels in the area. All ships have two officers on board. Captain and First Mate. On some ships have a Second and Third Mate on board to rotate the shifts.

that was interesting thanks for all the info
marina funny one i like it a lot
i want you to tell everyone where the word truthiness came from
Popularized by Stephen Colbert.
I love it when she speaks Russian!
Marina, when did I get this stupid avatar thingie? I miss my old anonymous one! I don’t like this new one!
Hi sniperskaya,
Marina added a new feature a few days ago that gives new people a random monster gravatar instead of the default silhouette. You can add your own personable gravatar. Instructions are under the HELP/FAQ link up above.
When you make your new gravatar, wait about an hour before swimming and clear your cache so your browser will refresh with your new photo. It sometimes takes a few minutes to a few hours.
She put Russian in my Top 5 favorite languages.
Cya tomorrow, I go for the Burbulation, watch a movie and then zzz.
Word Request: Quomodocunquize as the word starting in Q are lacking.
I’d like to know how to pronounce it!
Hi Pairadots,
Do you know what this word means? I’ll give you the quick You Tube response to save you the effort of looking it up. Its meaning is to make money by any means possible. This activity may become more prevalent in the years to come as individuals and families in the world struggle with the costs to producing energy supply our needs.
I’ll leave the origin of the word up to Marina as she’s the expert.
Marina,
Throw us bone here, we need your assistance on the origin of Quomodocunquize.
BTW – You are one of my favorite teachers, but tied with my 3rd grade teacher from many years Mrs. Lipshutz

pretty much any politician is adept at poltitwalk: the ability of a politician to talk out of both sides of his mouth at once and still never say anything substantive…
Hows the famous IMglish “pwned” for a sniglet? haha.
One of the funniest sniglets I ever heard was “Redonkulous”….
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UZ5CaqKS3o
…but a “sniglet” is also just another name for a funny neologism.
Hi Trgoblin. Its been a long time…
Does anybody know what happened to Tig and HFWfanclub? Did they dance themselves into oblivion? …I miss ‘em!
I was wondering that my self. Didn’t HFWFC post a few days ago?
Maybe he did but I don’t remember seeing it…I’ve been lookin’
I miss chacha and RRR too….yes, already.
maybe they’re on vacation?
Here is my abortional attempt at the use of sniglets.
I am absotivelyposilutely hotforwords can induce conspadamo on most! These sniglets must cornfuzzle a lot of people!
Well, im going fooding. I think ill partake in some wondracide and cook some porkalicious items!
A sniglet i find funny would be Zipcuffed – which means to be trapped in one’s trousers by a faulty zipper. Happed to me a couple of times
Also can I make a word request for the word Aegis. Its my fav
one of my sniglets would be ‘unfinite’ , meaning negative infinity
now that i ‘understand’ the idea of sniglets, can I ‘overstand’ them? :lol
Dear Marina, Here are my answers to your homework:
(1) Table snorkeling = going around to the tables at a restaurant to say “hello” to people you know.
(2) Quadriboobage = the appearance of having four breasts due to overflow from wearing a bra that’s too small.
(3) Googleganger = someone who uses the same screen as you. That would be horrible–I want the one and only Marina-Hot-For-Words, and NO substitutes!
(4) Kidnapkinage = taking more paper napkins than you need to use clesn other items.
(5) Pupkus = the residue your dog leaves on the car windows from the dog’s nose.
(6) FMTYEWTK = Far More Than You Ever Wanted To Know.
(7) Detruncus = losing you swimming trunks in the water or surf. (I don’t believe this ever happened to you with those beautiful slender hips and thighs.)
Thank you for working with your beautiful hair at the end of this video. I was so sad about your messy hair in the “Feisty” video.
seesix cm6
seesixcm6 you must have a black hole as a gravatar.
See, here’s the plan: On my next trip to Southern California, scheduled in January, 2010 (a year and a half from now), I plan to ask Marina out for a nice meal at her favorite place, the Blu Jam Cafe. If her answer causes me to “crash and burn”, there’s this handy black box so that FAA investigators can hear those agonizing moments when she breaks my heart.
seesix CM6
Go for it
Thanks seesixcm6. Now I didn’t have to google those words.
I so love cheating off of everyone else’s homework.
Love the black box idea. Maybe I should get one of those. You know they now require black boxes on ships? My former boss had to get one. They cost $100,000 for the cheap version. He did get an exempt letter from the USCG. It would have put him out of business for sure.
A 100,000!!!???
Why so much?
Two very big reasons. First off, to get a black box built and installed takes some time. It has to be wired up to all ships bridge equipment, i.e. Radars, GPS, depth sounder, Video and audio cameras, radios, propulsion systems, etc. Second reason is DHLS is all about protecting our borders. The big corporations are just loving this. Corporations need the threat of terrorists / war to sell their toys.
Detruncus – yeah – don’t think you need to describe it further.
One would hope that any gentlemen present looked the other way. Probably their faces looked more like this
or this 
Hi nw2394, I’m a gentleperson and was president and I only looked with one eye, my bad one.
No-one would have looked the other way, they would all have been oglegangers.
My proposed sniglet is “prospero,” meaning “a person of unmatched and rapier-like wit, genius-level intelligence, devastating good looks, and unrivaled modesty and humility.”
