Yeah somehow I don’t think Marina has a problem with calories. You really can’t beat her, intelligent and super sexy. The hotforprofits chick comes close but marina wins out.
Today I just read a “Real Fact”, under a Snapple bottle cap, that a one-minute kiss can burn up to 26 calories. Hey Marina, you wanna burn some calories?
Wtih respect to Wicked Loki (I think that’s pronounced LOW-kee rather than LAW-kee), did you notice that if you switch the syllables, Loki becomes Kilo? That adds some weight to the calorie issue, don’t you think?
Well I was gone on the road this week,got My 41 hours in by 12 Noon today and made it back home,took a nap and wanted to catch up on lessons. I’m having problems with this calorie vid,I just get the spinny,vista thing but the lesson doesn’t play. Are there problems on Your end Marina or should I try My new laptop as a frisbee?

I caught myself saying a word the other day as I was driving behind some cars on the highway. The cars were driving slow and I said outloud, “Come on guys, don’t lollygag!” Could you please tell us where the word Lollygag comes from?
Dear Marina,
I would like to make a word request.This word is walkman.I would like from where this word comes from and the uses it has today(ok i know some but i want more ).i hope it’s an interesting world.
Love,Panos.
Милая Мариночка,i have an interesting historical question to ask :are you a descendant of the great Russian hero ALEKSEY GRIGOREVICH ORLOV? it would also be so interesting if you did a nice video on your surname etymology since we know the origin of your first name very well….anyway i really think that the great Alexey is one of your ancestors…
Word Request
This is more a phrase than word and I’m not sure you do phrases, but I hope you’ll consider this one! I’m wondering where “Cute as a button” came from. I’ve heard it a lot and have found myself describing a person or thing as “cute as a button”.
Thanks for your consideration and your great videos!

Hi James, for some of use old timers who followed the TechCrunch event, we watched the event live. There are several of those videos on Marina’s YT video page and on here too.

3-14 ( also a big day for me ) IS the regular PI day ; But as I explained to another friend PI is a number worth celebrating twice. And in the Navy we usually put the day before the month ( civilians can’t do anything right ).
Common running joke in the Navy; Its not like the Navy can take your birthday away!
Watch out the Navy does take birthdays away. I know three guys that didn’t get their birthday because the ship sailed across the international date line canceling out their day. I know Im not going anywhere for the next couple of days so I don’t think the Navy can steal my birthday. I think I’m going to have some π for my b-day. Im not a fan of cake.
Maybe they can’t take it away but they can darn sure take the joy out of it. My first birthday while in the Navy I spent at 35,000 ft crossing the Atlantic for a 5 month deployment. Needless to say, no cake, no candles. A few months later the ‘74 October war broke out in the Med; lots of candles
Orion that is how I spent my birthday in ‘06. Uncle Sam wanted to make sure I had a good one so he shipped me to the desert with two of my troops before the rest of the squadron.
Marina, no question your are “numero uno”, at least in the mind’s of most men who visit you here. I’m a recent fan, but I must say, from looking at your older videos and pics, you are only getting better and better. Love the new look, especially the clothes! Your site should be called TooLovelyForWords.
As a newbie here I would only suggest that the comments section be sorted into some logical order, and maybe you could add chat? Anyone who visits the site who is actually interested in more than watching you, as in the actual “word”, is interested in the comments about the specific word. It takes forever to sort through all the totally unrelated comments (like this one) to read about the word.
And much of the “commenting” is more “chat” than comment on the word, like “I’m going to bed now”. How does this relate to the word? Obviously with your gazillion visitors you have created quite the community, so it would be great for them to be able to “talk amongst themselves”, and leave this thread for actual comments on the word.
Keep up the great work! I thoroughly enjoy my daily dose of Marina to learn about the words we use every day, and thanks also for improving my fantasy life.
Welcome to HFW Checmark. Maybe I can answer a few questions here for you. We do talk about the lesson of the day. Some days we spout off more than others. It really depends on the word and how it excites us into discussion. I do agree that the comments do look like idle chat. We have grown to become a community of friends that share a common interest. The idle chat tends to bond us a bit more. Yes, we do get off topic many times. Thats ok. You will even see Marina do the same. I hope this doesn’t discourage you.
Having comments on different pages puts people all over the website. Marina even puts new word requests on discussion of the current lesson. I agree that Marina has a good idea of keeping everything on one page so it is easier to manage. Yes it take a bit of skill filter through all the comments but in time it gets very easy.
As for you other questions and suggestion I’ll leave that up for Marina to comment on when and if she gets a chance. She does the work of 20 people to teach a gazillion students. I really don’t know how she does it.
I don’t know how many calories I burned, reading you post, but I do know I made no trip to the fridge, Never went to the fridge before responding either… Thanks for the food for thought.
Your post is not typical of a newbie, although mine may be typical of an “oldtimer”. My wife, to me is “numero uno”, I have three grown kids, “right up there”, run two succesful, time demanding businesses, built & maintain a race car on the side. And yet I took the time to read your post & respond… which was O/T.
Glad to read it to, Marina has made for herself, in a very short time, a good name in a very unusual manner. She tweeks the website often & if it isn’t to her liking she will change it or let you know, or not.
Anyways enjoy, the site & the lessons, and the body of work Hotforwords has & is putting together. I find it & her fascinating… & forgive me, I probably hang around here too much, I’m going to work now. Cheers
I think James is wrong.
The unit calorie has historically been used in two major alternate definitions that differ by a factor of 1000:
* The small calorie, gram calorie, or calorie (symbol: cal) is the amount of heat (energy) required to raise the temperature of one gram of water by 1 °C.
* The large calorie, kilogram calorie, kilocalorie (symbol: kcal), or Calorie (capital C) is the amount of heat (energy) needed to increase the temperature of one kg of water by 1 °C, exactly 1000 small calories, or about 4.184 kJ.
Now… for my request Can you please tell me the origin of Bodacious? I think it suits you very well.
one thing I forgot to mention for James: try putting a bottle of one litre on a scale… does it tell you how big the volume is? no, it gives you the weight. therefor, one gram/kilogram used when talking about calories is correct
That’s the definition of a Kilo-calorie (Calorie with a capital C), equal to 1000 calories (lower case c).
Also, since one gram of water only occupies one cubic centimetre at 39.2°F, you can’t use the volume measurement to define calories, so the mass measurement is used.
– Water Properties.
Chemikal, don’t you worry. She still is doing teachers pet. Just not as often as before. I think she might be doing something with the TA soon. So don’t touch that dial.
I’m a subscriber, right? So why do I keep clicking on the subscribe button at the end of every video?
Oh I know, because Marina keeps sending these subliminal messages “Please subscribe…”. After hearing that, what else can you do? That’s right, click subscribe… just in case maybe it didn’t work the last 200 times you’ve clicked it at the end of past videos.
Have used my poetic licence in order to prove a point.
Do you know what I’m talking about when I say “poetic licence”? Is that like a licence to drive a book, or something? No… not really, but would make for a fun lesson. Consider it requested!
Chemikal, that message is for all your friends to subscribe. Do what I do. In my trips around town I talk to my acquaintances and tell them about this great place called Hotforwords. They actually write down the website on some kind of paper. I average about 2 – 3 people a week. I hope someday they log on and say hi here.
Nice video, I have to get the same you use then I will stay tuned the whole day you look great again !
……should make my teacher look like a *calorie*……what about some cake and chocolate ? (then you can hibernate next winter when it is cold outside , I will wake you up in summer )
My sister watches Spongebob and I often watch TV with her, this video here made me remember one……Sandy was hibernating and Songe and Patrick could not get out of her house, at the end they shaved her to stay warm……. , was a realy funny one
Polar bears do not hibernate in the winter (the picture you showed was of a polar bear). Humans can certainly use fat later. In fact that is why some of us get fat. Our bodies store fat for later conversion to energy. This is because it helped our ancestors to survive. It is an evolutionary mechanism that we can’t turn off.
I think some people may have been upset not so much at the gorilla but that it kind of implies that you need alcohol to have a good time. I thought it was funny!
Don’t listen to PD. He was having fun pollinating the flowers that are sitting on your night stand this evening. Kobe caught him buzzing around your flowers and he barked out “BEEhave you silly BEE”.
You should give Kobe extra treat for BEEing a good watch dog.
I’m offended that they made that poor gorilla wear a swim suit. Animals don’t need censorship! Is this world going to the dogs? And if so, please hand over the world to Kobe, he’d at least make seem cuter!
Chemikalz
I’ve been to a million parties just like that one! Chemikalz, once the ape has a couple beers, you’ll want him to keep his shorts on around the girls, trust me on this one! He’s been learning to communicate using not just sign language but also musically.
As a student of anthropology and therefore ape behavior as well, this is a breakthrough I have been watching closely as it helps narrow the focus of my participant-observation study on party animals of the Upper Ohio Valley region. I can personally testify that the ape is finally learning his third chord on the guitar now but he still can’t play in the key of “F” yet.
We jam sometimes but you really have to keep the pool covered if you’re going to lend him your guitar, as is plainly evident in the vid. Yeah, that was Tom Ackerman’s Flying Vee he deep-sixed, a collector’s item now relegated to wall decoration duty in a pool hall in Perrysville. His favorite song to riff out on? Wild Thing, of course!
Miss M. Come on now which video was it that you fell down at the end. Don’t make us go back through all of them to find that one. Please. with Roses on top.
Thanks, OK4Now! Great Monkees video and one of my personal favorite Mike Nesmith songs from that era.
But a word of warning: he gets all offended by “monkey” references, since apes are a completely separate family from monkeys and are known to actually eat monkeys for lunch (chimpanzees have been film-documented to hunt and eat colobus monkeys as a fun group activity; the females really respond to a male who can bring home the monkey meat) so he takes it as a huge putdown when people request Monkees songs, especially after his third Rolling Rock. Hey, he’s got feelings, too! But I did teach him some of the chords to “Ape Man” by the Kinks, and he loves the song “Gorilla” by James Taylor although it’s still a bit more complex than his skill level allows. He usually plays the cowbell on it, with a wild triangle solo in the instrumental sections. He’s multi-talented!
Pen. Apologies all around & great info., (just don’t tell the Great rockin’ Ape) was not trying to strafe simian sensibilities. [5x fast]
Pennsyltucky9 Hey, man this is your party & this song (which I’d forgotten about) is just too great not to include, & philosophically rich: “We’ve evolved to create traffic noise…” http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=_HmaAPaP-h0
That old scratched “fake film” efffect is so 1960’s…. I bet some viewers don’t even know that it was caused by dirt in the film path that scratches the film, typically appearing after many showings. Of course, with video this is impossible…even with videotape that runs like film. Hey, I was a projectionist in high shool in the 60’s.
Oh and tonight when on the abcnews site and watching a news clip there was an ad (for a cell phone i think) that used YOUR theme song… I was expecting an ad promoting HotForWords… now I don’t even remember the cell phone brand. Is that a STOCK music track… It’s become, like your musical trademark.
hello my dear teacher i have been reading some of the replies on this calories video some about cleavage some about you being one of the hottest women on the internet some say #5 and i want to say that is foolish who can be hotter i believe you are the #1 hottest women on the internet who else can give me a lesson and look so good doing it and with a sexy russian accent and as for as for hottest women on the net i can only think of one maybe dora ventor a hungarian porn star but then again what is she teaching me how to go down on a women and for the cleavage i have a great imagination so marina i vote you #1 so bye bye my teacher i love you and please keep the words coming also i have a special request it is on name origin i am french cajun from the deep south of louisiana like a half an hour from the gulf of mexico and my name is Nicholas Rene’ Gaspard i really would appreciate it if you could give me the origin of my name
Hey Marina,
I was wondering why we use the term “kipe” (don’t know if it’s spelled right) when referring to stealling. as in ‘Someone kiped my bike parked ouside!’
There has been some discussion on how Marina is not showing cleavage anymore.
Well, I think that is ok, but my husband has a message for her. He is not going to watch the videos anymore unless she shows more cleavage again:!:
I am not jealous as I am above average in that department, but I think he is silly that he can’t still be educated without cleavage being a part of it.
Give him the conundrum test. I don’t know… find out if he retains more info from the NVC videos, or the VC/UC videos. Personaly I don’t retain much the first time thru… just checking out whats different & what’s familiar, even what’s in the little pics at the begining. I get more education in the comments section & looking up stuff after watching the vid.
Hi BoArgMir, sorry, but that’s us men for you. We are all breast men from birth, it’s our mother’s fault. Either we got to much or not enough. So tell him I wouldn’t stop watching just for that reason he can still learn something, he might miss if she does wear something low cut.
BoArgMir, thats so nice of you to help your hubby out with the lessons. Thats so sweet of you. Ok here’s an idea for you. Put on a sexy top. Bikini tops work great, and stand behind the monitor while you wiggle or do whatever interest him. That way he gets his lesson for the day with real life boobies to look at. Wow, just thinking that would bring me in to the computer room to watch a crappy Athenswins video.
I think she caught the Conservative virus from hanging around the Fox news people. She should wear a face mask next time, or a biohazard suit. If they ask, she could just tell them she’s doing her bit to guard against terrorists.
By the way, the word calorie was first mentioned in the Nonchalant video where Marina talked about it’s word origin, meaning and homework assignment. http://www.hotforwords.com/2008/03/25/nonchalant/
Dear Marina, Another nice video. I rated it five stars, even though I missed a kiss from you. According to Wikipedia, the calorie was first defined by Professor Nicholas Clement in 1824. At the University under my ROTC scholarship, I learned two definitions:
(1) In science courses, the calorie was defined as the amount needed to heat one gram of water by one degree Centigrade. It is spelled with a small “c”, or calorie. This is the definition provided by thewickedloki in your video.
(2) In nutrition courses, I found they use the Kilocalorie. It is spelled with a capital “C”, or Calorie. It is the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1,000 grams of water by one degree Centigrade. So, a large egg may have 78 Calories in nutritiopn, or 78,000 calories in the scientific definition.
It’s an important difference which you might share with your viewers in another video.
Your dear student, seesix CM6
BAT vs WAT…this just in – humans & other mammals have two forms of fat, Brown Adipose Tissue and White Adipose Tissue. WAT is used for energy storage; BAT was thought to disappear in adult humans, but:
We conclude that a substantial fraction of adult humans possess active brown adipose tissue that thus has the potential to be of metabolic significance for normal human physiology as well as to become pharmaceutically activated in efforts to combat obesity.
I’m not sure where Marina got the idea that humans have “lost” the ability to use fat – we most certainly can and do gain, use & lose fat (fitness & diet-plan companies would go out of business if we couldn’t alter our fat content)…the problem may be the percentage of fat our bodies become programmed to accept as normal:
It appears that the brain can be programmed to accept a higher body weight by early-life factors, including the environment of the womb in late pregnancy and the individual’s activity level in early life. These early factors may alter development of brain pathways which regulate energy homeostasis (balance). Once the tendency to obesity develops, it can be nearly impossible to reverse weight gains. However, these early factors can be manipulated to provide a more desirable outcome and may hold promise for prevention of obesity in human beings.
I know I just lost 40 pounds before summer hit. I walked 6 miles each day. When cooler weather gets here I will start back walking. I wonder how many calories typing on this ole board takes off.
I think what my understanding what she was saying is that we don’t have as efficient system of removing fat as bears do.
I hope the day comes when doctors really understand how and why they body stores fat and come up with solutions to reduce obesity in mice. Its really sad to see an over weight mouse these days.
I was so underweight when I joined the Navy I had to get a doctors waiver to get in. The red cross would not allow me to give blood until my weight was at 140. I was at 115 until I turned about 30 something. Now Im about 155.
Well then Daniel, that tells me your not a boater. You see, boats attract many babes. So if you can find a boat there is surely many babes on it. I don’t understand why this attraction is from but Im not complaining. You do have to be careful that you don’t get to many babes on the boat. You could sink. I use a broom or a mop to carefully push them over board. And don’t worry, they can swim. Usually they just swim back up on the boat all nice and wet. Its best to have a friend with a boat that can move up close to your boat. The babes will swim over to him, which balances things out and your friend will be great full.

Oh I still haven’t purchased that movie yet. The boot camp scenes I can relate to nearly 100%. Including the suicide scene. I witness two guys jump from 3 story barracks late at night.
Miss teacher, I just heard a word on a game show, Quaint. It was discribed as skillfully or cleaverly made, and at sometime the meaning changed to old fashioned attractiveness or charm. I thought it was a interesting word to request you to investigate.
How are you dong tonight (day), I here it is raining there. My ex IM’ed me and said she was sick, but she was enjoying the rain. It must have cooled it down some she said last we you was in the 40’s. Of course here Phoenix it is in the 40’s a lot.
wow, after reading your reply it instantly started to rain. thanks for the heads up. It has been really hot, but it doesn’t bother me much since I have 3 AC units for only 4 rooms AC is no luxury, it’s a necessity, if you take into consideration the crazy weather Romania’s been having
Get well soon for your ex, I think it’s really great you guys still talk.
It’s not even 12 o’clock yet, so I’m just doing a little HFW browsing in the morning… it helps me wake up!
Keep posting, and I’ll keep reading raven.
Chemikalz
I know what you mean about the AC. Our little 1 bedroom apartment we had there we put 2 units in. She has it now ,it is in what the RO Post used to call sector 3. I think she also had one put in her parents place. It didn’t have one when I was there. I am going to call it an early night, 2AM I will post and talk with you tomorrow. Have a good day Chemikal
Jack you might remember this. G man do you remember the oriental woman walking across the lounge with a tight mini skirt on. All of the men were just staring at her. She was heading for the elevator. When she got there and the door closed she breathed out and all of that fat just pooched out. It must have been her fat .
I’m requesting the word Craps, as in the dice game. Why is it called craps? Who came up with it? Why is it when you lose you say, “I craped out”. How about the word Dice as well. What came first, the dice or the craps ?
PD, Teacher doesn’t want to hear about your crappy word request about the word craps. But what can I say? Im full of crap. I guess thats why my eyes are brown.
A little bit of Knowledge. In a house fire one gallon of water will expand 1700 times its normal size in steam to help put out and cool down the inside of the structure.

I just had to look up factoid for some reason. And found a wiki post.
A factoid is a possibly spurious (unverified, incorrect, or invented) and often allegedly counterintuitive “fact” with little significance outside the possibility of its own statement. It appears in the Oxford English Dictionary[1] as “something which becomes accepted as fact, although it may not be true”, namely a speculation or an assumption. The term was coined by Norman Mailer in his 1973 biography of Marilyn Monroe[2] (this being, incidentally, an archtypal factoid itself). Mailer described a factoid as “facts which have no existence before appearing in a magazine or newspaper”, and created the word by combining the word fact and the ending -oid to mean “like a fact”
Well FACTS are just part of an ACT or ACTS. The F is false so you have to drop it. This leaving you only with the ACT of the information that was corrupted with the letter F to which was found to be false. We can conclude that all FACTS are false or ACTS.
My sister and I sometime go to see a movie together. Before the movie starts there is this 60 second slide that says Lowes Theaters.
We get bored easily so we take the word
T H E A T E R S
and see what words we can come up with. Now you can NOT rearrange the order of the letters. You have to read them left to right.
For example EAT THE HAT AT THE E.R.
Yes I can be left in a dark room with one word and be entertained for hours.
I need some help? My video card built onto the motherboard is failing. I bought a new one a GeForce Graphic NVidia 6200 256 mb DDR2 agp 4x 8x support. My computer has a 4x agp slot but every time I install the card the computer wants to keep rebooting on me. I used the right video drivers with it. Help.
Hey Mike, I have the 7300 NVidia card in my PC. See if you can get into the BIOS and disable your on-board video. There might be a jumper on the motherboard also if it is an older board. The only other help would be to search Google for NVidia problems, the NVidia site, go to the motherboard website and search for issues or contact a local geek in the neighborhood visit a PC shop.
Seems like calories have no effect on you. Or does the camera lose a few pounds

Yeah somehow I don’t think Marina has a problem with calories. You really can’t beat her, intelligent and super sexy. The hotforprofits chick comes close but marina wins out.
Wtih respect to Wicked Loki (I think that’s pronounced LOW-kee rather than LAW-kee), did you notice that if you switch the syllables, Loki becomes Kilo? That adds some weight to the calorie issue, don’t you think?
Strange we don’t count joules for food instead of calories.
I hate those.
Marina. Please tell me that it was not you tummy in that picture on the video? NOT POSSIBLE !!!
Well I was gone on the road this week,got My 41 hours in by 12 Noon today and made it back home,took a nap and wanted to catch up on lessons.

hey Marina, you’ve done a GTA IV video about molotov cocktails, you did Ak-47, and military terms such as “left-tenant” and “leutenant”
I probably spelled those wrong..
What about other military terms such as “Semper-fi”, “Hooah”, “stay frosty”, “tango”, and others.
If you do those terms, don’t forget your army outfit and face paint haha

I wand to know what the word “Rad” means because everyone calls me B-Rad because my name is brad, but i want to know exactly what “Rad” means.
It is short for radical.
Nothing relating to the video – I just wanted to be the first to wish everyone a HAPPY PI APPROXIMATION DAY ( 22/7 )
http://www.teachpi.org/
You had me going there for a spell. I thought I had missed PIday that was held on 3.14
3-14 ( also a big day for me ) IS the regular PI day ; But as I explained to another friend PI is a number worth celebrating twice.
And in the Navy we usually put the day before the month ( civilians can’t do anything right

Common running joke in the Navy; Its not like the Navy can take your birthday away!
I know three guys that didn’t get their birthday because the ship sailed across the international date line canceling out their day. I know Im not going anywhere for the next couple of days so I don’t think the Navy can steal my birthday.
I think I’m going to have some π for my b-day. Im not a fan of cake.
Watch out the Navy does take birthdays away.
Maybe they can’t take it away but they can darn sure take the joy out of it. My first birthday while in the Navy I spent at 35,000 ft crossing the Atlantic for a 5 month deployment. Needless to say, no cake, no candles.
A few months later the ‘74 October war broke out in the Med; lots of candles
happy birthday el capitan
Orion, Well I want to wish you a happy belated birthday for the times the freaking Navy took away your B-Day!

Blueskies13, Thanks! My Friday is looking better already.
Orion that is how I spent my birthday in ‘06. Uncle Sam wanted to make sure I had a good one so he shipped me to the desert with two of my troops before the rest of the squadron.
Oh that sucks
Here’s a belated cake for you too!

Marina, no question your are “numero uno”, at least in the mind’s of most men who visit you here. I’m a recent fan, but I must say, from looking at your older videos and pics, you are only getting better and better. Love the new look, especially the clothes! Your site should be called TooLovelyForWords.
As a newbie here I would only suggest that the comments section be sorted into some logical order, and maybe you could add chat? Anyone who visits the site who is actually interested in more than watching you, as in the actual “word”, is interested in the comments about the specific word. It takes forever to sort through all the totally unrelated comments (like this one) to read about the word.
And much of the “commenting” is more “chat” than comment on the word, like “I’m going to bed now”. How does this relate to the word? Obviously with your gazillion visitors you have created quite the community, so it would be great for them to be able to “talk amongst themselves”, and leave this thread for actual comments on the word.
Keep up the great work! I thoroughly enjoy my daily dose of Marina to learn about the words we use every day, and thanks also for improving my fantasy life.
Welcome to HFW Checmark.
Maybe I can answer a few questions here for you. We do talk about the lesson of the day. Some days we spout off more than others. It really depends on the word and how it excites us into discussion. I do agree that the comments do look like idle chat. We have grown to become a community of friends that share a common interest. The idle chat tends to bond us a bit more. Yes, we do get off topic many times. Thats ok. You will even see Marina do the same. I hope this doesn’t discourage you.
Having comments on different pages puts people all over the website. Marina even puts new word requests on discussion of the current lesson. I agree that Marina has a good idea of keeping everything on one page so it is easier to manage. Yes it take a bit of skill filter through all the comments but in time it gets very easy.
As for you other questions and suggestion I’ll leave that up for Marina to comment on when and if she gets a chance. She does the work of 20 people to teach a gazillion students. I really don’t know how she does it.

My friend your doing an excellent job as door greeter. I’ll send you a Walmart smock, as my father in law is a door greeter here at Walmart.
Well you do an excellent job yourself Mike. Im not old enough to be a Walmart door greeter yet.
You know thats an idea. We should have many door greeters here for HFW. Anyone else want to help?
I don’t know how many calories I burned, reading you post, but I do know I made no trip to the fridge, Never went to the fridge before responding either… Thanks for the food for thought.
Your post is not typical of a newbie, although mine may be typical of an “oldtimer”. My wife, to me is “numero uno”, I have three grown kids, “right up there”, run two succesful, time demanding businesses, built & maintain a race car on the side. And yet I took the time to read your post & respond… which was O/T.
Glad to read it to, Marina has made for herself, in a very short time, a good name in a very unusual manner. She tweeks the website often & if it isn’t to her liking she will change it or let you know, or not.
Anyways enjoy, the site & the lessons, and the body of work Hotforwords has & is putting together. I find it & her fascinating… & forgive me, I probably hang around here too much, I’m going to work now. Cheers
Good Morning Billy! Like the new gravatar. Good to see you here today. Wait… Ok see your comments. LOL. Have fun at work. Cheers.
Hello Marina
I would like to request a term
I have been wondering how this term came to be
and this term is…
“quite frankly”
I was just curious about this
and i hope you do research on it
thanks for your time Marina
-your student-
by the way this is my first comment and request
Welcome to the club, madphoto!
Nice request too.
So, let’s see if I’ve got this right.
It’s erotic with the lights out, but if you do it with the lights on it’s pornography?
soft lighting = soft porn…
Good to see you’re back to your old self again! That other guy subbing for you looked so uh, so..I dunno…eerily HUMAN somehow!
Speak for yourself!
Does that mean that veal is made in erotic conditions
Only the first time.
When you turn the lights on, all is re-veal-ed.
I think James is wrong.
The unit calorie has historically been used in two major alternate definitions that differ by a factor of 1000:
* The small calorie, gram calorie, or calorie (symbol: cal) is the amount of heat (energy) required to raise the temperature of one gram of water by 1 °C.
* The large calorie, kilogram calorie, kilocalorie (symbol: kcal), or Calorie (capital C) is the amount of heat (energy) needed to increase the temperature of one kg of water by 1 °C, exactly 1000 small calories, or about 4.184 kJ.
Now… for my request
Can you please tell me the origin of Bodacious? I think it suits you very well.
one thing I forgot to mention for James: try putting a bottle of one litre on a scale… does it tell you how big the volume is? no, it gives you the weight. therefor, one gram/kilogram used when talking about calories is correct
Ok but I did say “I always thought” THanks
I always thought a calorie was the amount of energy that could raise a liter of water by 1 degree not a gram….. also liquid isn’t measured in grams
That’s the definition of a Kilo-calorie (Calorie with a capital C), equal to 1000 calories (lower case c).
Also, since one gram of water only occupies one cubic centimetre at 39.2°F, you can’t use the volume measurement to define calories, so the mass measurement is used.
– Water Properties.
Bob
Bob is correct, of course…
the problem is people get mixed up because one is a calorie (lowercase “c”), whereas the food Calorie is uppercase.
1000 calories = 1 kilocalorie = 1 Calorie…
Has anyone seen Warren in a while? Or is he on the road probably.
GOT MY K850I!! No more shitty videos now.
phone it home, son…
CoComent is slowing me down.
which is why i’ve uninstalled it – as, i believe, has Marina…
I have ‘ad blocker plus’ running so its not loading on my browser. Site really flies for me now.
One star. Bad link.
night everyone
Night.. Im going to bed also…
Night night, CJ!
you too, stokesjrj1!
Do we have a teacher’s assistant any more? How about pet?
We all loved teacher’s pet, why remove it?
Chemikal, don’t you worry. She still is doing teachers pet. Just not as often as before. I think she might be doing something with the TA soon. So don’t touch that dial.
All I get is “We are sorry, this video is no longer available.”
it is available though, try to view it on youtube.
More website problems
Found one there called “Burn it up!” which I suppose is the one that replaced that bad link here. Thanks for the tip.
I’m a subscriber, right? So why do I keep clicking on the subscribe button at the end of every video?
Oh I know, because Marina keeps sending these subliminal messages “Please subscribe…”. After hearing that, what else can you do? That’s right, click subscribe… just in case maybe it didn’t work the last 200 times you’ve clicked it at the end of past videos.
Have used my poetic licence in order to prove a point.
Do you know what I’m talking about when I say “poetic licence”? Is that like a licence to drive a book, or something? No… not really, but would make for a fun lesson. Consider it requested!
Chemikal
Chemikal, that message is for all your friends to subscribe. Do what I do. In my trips around town I talk to my acquaintances and tell them about this great place called Hotforwords. They actually write down the website on some kind of paper. I average about 2 – 3 people a week. I hope someday they log on and say hi here.
That would be great, but no inside jokes though, or I’ll feel so left out!
Nice video, I have to get the same you use then I will stay tuned the whole day
you look great again !
(then you can hibernate next winter when it is cold outside
, I will wake you up in summer
)
……should make my teacher look like a *calorie*……what about some cake and chocolate ?
That would mean no more videos during winter… Now think about it, would you really want that?!
Don´t want it, but some smll jokes should be fine
My sister watches Spongebob and I often watch TV with her, this video here made me remember one……Sandy was hibernating and Songe and Patrick could not get out of her house, at the end they shaved her to stay warm…….
, was a realy funny one
time check
I know there’s a lot of calories in any energy drinks. my favorite is the AMP. That drink is electrifying!
Hey here’s one: PADDY WAGON (prisoner tranport) why paddy? I think I know why, but I want you to reasure me.
That’sd a good one. I wonder if it has anything to do with the Pad-locks that they used?
I think it was more of a slanderous term and not how it was locked.
I just don’t know for sure.
i was wondering you give out valentine & christmas cards would you send me a birth day card to you trully dedicated student me
it is sept 27
mine is on sept 30th
Mine is Sept. 23rd
mines on sept 7th
Wow, a bunch of September babies. I feel so left out. Mine is this Friday.
Mine is Sept 20th. If I don’t get on Before then Happy Birthday Capt.
Just imagine how many birthday card she would have to send out daily. She wouldn’t have anytime for videos.
yea but we want cards
I do to. I missed out on the April fools cards. I can’t get her to send me one and I was a Member then too.
adipose are fat cells.
OMG!! what a great video!!!
they are so cute
i’d love to take one from me
the end was great
HI im new i wanna know the word THE ahaha everyone says it but does everyone know it means
Request Phrase : Im in a Pickle… :S
Marina,
Here’s a word. BLATHERSKITE.
Deja vous.
WOW ! I just got the wierdest feeling that someone asked about that word before !….(wierd huh?)
Two mistakes:
Polar bears do not hibernate in the winter (the picture you showed was of a polar bear). Humans can certainly use fat later. In fact that is why some of us get fat. Our bodies store fat for later conversion to energy. This is because it helped our ancestors to survive. It is an evolutionary mechanism that we can’t turn off.
are you saying you think we come from apes?
Yes ! And Apes come from trees !
lol @ dictionaricdotcom
Thanks!
funnyyy… You see, I would never have thought of that on my own.
evoloution http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHuebHTD-lY
Not a mistake. You know how hard it is to find a photo of a bear that is not copyrighted so you can use in your video?
Can you tell us why we don’t use appendix any more, and yet we still have them?
speaking of bears, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_VlVckrUgY
It was recently discovered that we DO use our appendex, they just didn’t know how it worked before.
http://www.livescience.com/health/060530_bad_appendix.html
I totally use my appenex ! It keeps my spleen away from my liver ! (they tend to fight a lot )
don t Bogart that joint my Friend pass it over to me
I remember that from Easy Rider. One of the best movies ever made in my younger years. I still like to watch it today. Thanks for the memories.
it was in a song to cant remember who sag it can you
It was Fraternity Of Man was the band.
ok capman thanks
hangs around
this party sucks.
Good party after awhile.
Mmmmmm. Rolling Rock!
Whaaaaaasssssssszzzzzzzzzuuuuuuuppppppppp?
Liven it up some
more Buzz
That was funny!
try this one
Rachael Ray
Rachael Ray???? Tell me you Never watch that!!! If you say you do I’m never talking to you again!!
I like Giada Delaurentis. She shows more cleavage
It’s just Status Quo
Forget that one better vid
anyone here remember the video that showed Marina stumbling down in the blooper at the end?
No, can’t say that I do.
buzzword, where have you been ,I haven,t seen you here lately.
I am deeply offended by that video Buzzword!!! NOT!! I can’t even figure out what people would be offended by? A gorilla partying with humans?
I think some people may have been upset not so much at the gorilla but that it kind of implies that you need alcohol to have a good time.
I thought it was funny!
Can I tell you something else?…I had a wonderful time on your site tonight!
Don’t listen to PD. He was having fun pollinating the flowers that are sitting on your night stand this evening. Kobe caught him buzzing around your flowers and he barked out “BEEhave you silly BEE”.
You should give Kobe extra treat for BEEing a good watch dog.
I’m offended that they made that poor gorilla wear a swim suit. Animals don’t need censorship! Is this world going to the dogs? And if so, please hand over the world to Kobe, he’d at least make seem cuter!
Chemikalz
I’ve been to a million parties just like that one! Chemikalz, once the ape has a couple beers, you’ll want him to keep his shorts on around the girls, trust me on this one! He’s been learning to communicate using not just sign language but also musically.
As a student of anthropology and therefore ape behavior as well, this is a breakthrough I have been watching closely as it helps narrow the focus of my participant-observation study on party animals of the Upper Ohio Valley region. I can personally testify that the ape is finally learning his third chord on the guitar now but he still can’t play in the key of “F” yet.
We jam sometimes but you really have to keep the pool covered if you’re going to lend him your guitar, as is plainly evident in the vid. Yeah, that was Tom Ackerman’s Flying Vee he deep-sixed, a collector’s item now relegated to wall decoration duty in a pool hall in Perrysville. His favorite song to riff out on? Wild Thing, of course!
pennssl. You’re
serious? Can he play Last Train to Clarksville? http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=3WAB0yPgbdM
Miss M. Come on now which video was it that you fell down at the end. Don’t make us go back through all of them to find that one. Please. with Roses on top.
Would that be my martini video??
Thanks, OK4Now! Great Monkees video and one of my personal favorite Mike Nesmith songs from that era.
But a word of warning: he gets all offended by “monkey” references, since apes are a completely separate family from monkeys and are known to actually eat monkeys for lunch (chimpanzees have been film-documented to hunt and eat colobus monkeys as a fun group activity; the females really respond to a male who can bring home the monkey meat) so he takes it as a huge putdown when people request Monkees songs, especially after his third Rolling Rock. Hey, he’s got feelings, too! But I did teach him some of the chords to “Ape Man” by the Kinks, and he loves the song “Gorilla” by James Taylor although it’s still a bit more complex than his skill level allows. He usually plays the cowbell on it, with a wild triangle solo in the instrumental sections. He’s multi-talented!
Pen. Apologies all around & great info., (just don’t tell the Great rockin’ Ape) was not trying to strafe simian sensibilities. [5x fast]
Pennsyltucky9 Hey, man this is your party & this song (which I’d forgotten about) is just too great not to include, & philosophically rich: “We’ve evolved to create traffic noise…” http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=_HmaAPaP-h0
It would be funny to bring Grape Ape to a party.
Oh yea Grape Ape!
I’m not offended or insulted, it is just too ridiculous to even imagine! Everyone knows apes can’t play lead guitar—they play bass.
Au contraire! See my comment above, OK4N.
hello hello
Hi Daniel, whaaasssuuup
Hi Marina,
That old scratched “fake film” efffect is so 1960’s…. I bet some viewers don’t even know that it was caused by dirt in the film path that scratches the film, typically appearing after many showings. Of course, with video this is impossible…even with videotape that runs like film. Hey, I was a projectionist in high shool in the 60’s.
Oh and tonight when on the abcnews site and watching a news clip there was an ad (for a cell phone i think) that used YOUR theme song… I was expecting an ad promoting HotForWords… now I don’t even remember the cell phone brand. Is that a STOCK music track… It’s become, like your musical trademark.
- Bob ManDo
Which clip was it? I’d like to hear it.
hello my dear teacher i have been reading some of the replies on this calories video some about cleavage some about you being one of the hottest women on the internet some say #5 and i want to say that is foolish who can be hotter i believe you are the #1 hottest women on the internet who else can give me a lesson and look so good doing it and with a sexy russian accent and as for as for hottest women on the net i can only think of one maybe dora ventor a hungarian porn star but then again what is she teaching me how to go down on a women and for the cleavage i have a great imagination so marina i vote you #1 so bye bye my teacher i love you and please keep the words coming also i have a special request it is on name origin i am french cajun from the deep south of louisiana like a half an hour from the gulf of mexico and my name is Nicholas Rene’ Gaspard i really would appreciate it if you could give me the origin of my name
what clip about what tell me which you are talking about and i will try and tell you
whoops, I replyed to the wrong person.
bobmando one comment up said he heard Marina’s lesson music in a add on the abcnews site. sorry.
can you please do a video on the term “going to the crapper”
bond_servaint
Hey Marina,
I was wondering why we use the term “kipe” (don’t know if it’s spelled right) when referring to stealling. as in ‘Someone kiped my bike parked ouside!’
Well, I think that is ok, but my husband has a message for her. He is not going to watch the videos anymore unless she shows more cleavage again:!:
I am not jealous as I am above average in that department, but I think he is silly that he can’t still be educated without cleavage being a part of it.
I love it, when a woman helps out her husband. That is precious. Thanks BoArgMir you made my day.
Give him the conundrum test. I don’t know… find out if he retains more info from the NVC videos, or the VC/UC videos. Personaly I don’t retain much the first time thru… just checking out whats different & what’s familiar, even what’s in the little pics at the begining. I get more education in the comments section & looking up stuff after watching the vid.
Hi BoArgMir, sorry, but that’s us men for you.
We are all breast men from birth, it’s our mother’s fault. Either we got to much or not enough. So tell him I wouldn’t stop watching just for that reason he can still learn something, he might miss if she does wear something low cut.
you just read my mind
well let him look at yours she looks beautiful marina marina marina
BoArgMir, thats so nice of you to help your hubby out with the lessons. Thats so sweet of you.
Ok here’s an idea for you. Put on a sexy top. Bikini tops work great, and stand behind the monitor while you wiggle or do whatever interest him. That way he gets his lesson for the day with real life boobies to look at. Wow, just thinking that would bring me in to the computer room to watch a crappy Athenswins video.
I think we need to rename that to Athwins video.
Or you could watch those oriental vids.
Yea whats up with that? I seeing more oriental vids showing up.
this is marina beast look every
They look like preteens almost. Very cute, but young looking.
I think she caught the Conservative virus from hanging around the Fox news people. She should wear a face mask next time, or a biohazard suit. If they ask, she could just tell them she’s doing her bit to guard against terrorists.
By the way, the word calorie was first mentioned in the Nonchalant video where Marina talked about it’s word origin, meaning and homework assignment.
http://www.hotforwords.com/2008/03/25/nonchalant/
Tnks for the link P. I was wondering where that lesson was. That was made like 3 months ago.
Dear Marina, Another nice video. I rated it five stars, even though I missed a kiss from you. According to Wikipedia, the calorie was first defined by Professor Nicholas Clement in 1824. At the University under my ROTC scholarship, I learned two definitions:
(1) In science courses, the calorie was defined as the amount needed to heat one gram of water by one degree Centigrade. It is spelled with a small “c”, or calorie. This is the definition provided by thewickedloki in your video.
(2) In nutrition courses, I found they use the Kilocalorie. It is spelled with a capital “C”, or Calorie. It is the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1,000 grams of water by one degree Centigrade. So, a large egg may have 78 Calories in nutritiopn, or 78,000 calories in the scientific definition.
It’s an important difference which you might share with your viewers in another video.
Your dear student, seesix CM6
I WANT TO KONW WERE DID THE PHRASE “THATS WHAT SHE SAID” COME FROM AND WHY?
“That’s what she said” It came from me!
LOL
Hi! i would like to know where the saying ‘The Apple of my eye’ came from.
i mean it does not make sense!
BAT vs WAT…this just in – humans & other mammals have two forms of fat, Brown Adipose Tissue and White Adipose Tissue. WAT is used for energy storage; BAT was thought to disappear in adult humans, but:
…Unexpected evidence for active brown adipose tissue in adult humans
I’m not sure where Marina got the idea that humans have “lost” the ability to use fat – we most certainly can and do gain, use & lose fat (fitness & diet-plan companies would go out of business if we couldn’t alter our fat content)…the problem may be the percentage of fat our bodies become programmed to accept as normal:
… http://www.news-medical.net/?id=24545
I know I just lost 40 pounds before summer hit. I walked 6 miles each day. When cooler weather gets here I will start back walking. I wonder how many calories typing on this ole board takes off.
well, remember, you use more smilin’ than frownin’…(-;
Funny you bring that up! I also lost a bunch of fat, in Jan O7 I tipped the scales at 235lbs(6ft tall) and today I weigh 178lbs…not to shabby!
hey good job pagedoll
Answer – Not a helluva lot! Since I retired and am not getting much exercise I’m beginning to resemble a Harley Davidson motorcycle.
(Fat Bob)
You ended a sentence with a preposition
You ain’t riding me, you reprobate; there’s already someone in the saddle.
I think what my understanding what she was saying is that we don’t have as efficient system of removing fat as bears do.
I hope the day comes when doctors really understand how and why they body stores fat and come up with solutions to reduce obesity in mice.
Its really sad to see an over weight mouse these days.
To heck with the mice I would like some of that formula.
To heck with the formula I would like some of that mice!
I was so underweight when I joined the Navy I had to get a doctors waiver to get in. The red cross would not allow me to give blood until my weight was at 140. I was at 115 until I turned about 30 something. Now Im about 155.
Miss M. you put a video on calories and have a advertisement about Hostess Cakes. This is kinda of a conundrum isn’t it
ironic?…wait, i’m confused on that now…
Harley Davidson just put a new site. Well I think it’s new. I haven’t seen it before.
http://www.youtube.com/harleydavidson
it s capitalism everyone makes money her is $100.00 you did not see that
mmmmm, Twinkies…haven’t had one in 18 months
Those are hard to resist. That takes will power.
or lack of cash
Pagedoll where did you go. It’s still dark outside, at least here its 11:30 here.
What Hostess cake ad? I don’t see it.
Ask Pagedoll it was there earlier
hello captainjack i din it see the ship in the ocean that one time all i saw was marina that is all i see
Oops. I forgot ad blocker was running. Not…
Well then Daniel, that tells me your not a boater. You see, boats attract many babes. So if you can find a boat there is surely many babes on it. I don’t understand why this attraction is from but Im not complaining. You do have to be careful that you don’t get to many babes on the boat. You could sink. I use a broom or a mop to carefully push them over board. And don’t worry, they can swim. Usually they just swim back up on the boat all nice and wet. Its best to have a friend with a boat that can move up close to your boat. The babes will swim over to him, which balances things out and your friend will be great full.
Ok Jack they are there now look real fast.
You are running fire fox how do you turn on ad blocking.
Oops, missed it again. LOL.
I have a plug in called Adbocker plus for Firefox. All I do is right click on a ad or picture and Ad Blocker removes it. I even went in as far as blocking other links in beaded in the Html code. The only things I see now is mostly the comments and HFW page banner. The rest is removed. Pages load very fast also. http://adblockplus.org/en/
This site flies without the adds.
Cool hu? Its the only way to fly for us regulars.
Oh, I’m here!! Just checkin’ out YT…watchin’ some Full Metal Jacket clips.
http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=4VHKpGJX29s
My son has it on Dvd. We watched it the other night again in HD man it’s still a cool movie.
Oh I still haven’t purchased that movie yet. The boot camp scenes I can relate to nearly 100%. Including the suicide scene. I witness two guys jump from 3 story barracks late at night.
Check out this video. Full Metal Jacket Cadences:

Miss teacher, I just heard a word on a game show, Quaint. It was discribed as skillfully or cleaverly made, and at sometime the meaning changed to old fashioned attractiveness or charm. I thought it was a interesting word to request you to investigate.
yea, not bad raven62
How are you dong tonight (day), I here it is raining there. My ex IM’ed me and said she was sick, but she was enjoying the rain. It must have cooled it down some she said last we you was in the 40’s.
Of course here Phoenix it is in the 40’s a lot.
wow, after reading your reply it instantly started to rain. thanks for the heads up. It has been really hot, but it doesn’t bother me much since I have 3 AC units for only 4 rooms
AC is no luxury, it’s a necessity, if you take into consideration the crazy weather Romania’s been having 


Get well soon for your ex, I think it’s really great you guys still talk.
It’s not even 12 o’clock yet, so I’m just doing a little HFW browsing in the morning… it helps me wake up!
Keep posting, and I’ll keep reading raven.
Chemikalz
I know what you mean about the AC.
Our little 1 bedroom apartment we had there we put 2 units in.
She has it now
,it is in what the RO Post used to call sector 3. I think she also had one put in her parents place.
It didn’t have one when I was there. I am going to call it an early night, 2AM
I will post and talk with you tomorrow. Have a good day
Chemikal
Now how did I miss that homework assignment? Must have been one of those days I was out of the office or I was getting brain surgery.
I don’t there was any, If it was I missed it too.
I just noticed that on teachers YT page the lesson is in widescreen…sweet!
I did too and went to down load to my favorites, and utube is down
Yea YT is down yet again.
Your assignment is to find out whose belly that was.
Oh Oh oh thats so sick. hehehe
Jack you might remember this. G man do you remember the oriental woman walking across the lounge with a tight mini skirt on. All of the men were just staring at her. She was heading for the elevator. When she got there and the door closed she breathed out and all of that fat just pooched out. It must have been her fat
.
Oh yea, that was a funny commercial! I don’t remember what it was for but damn funny.
I have to admit it, it’s ah ah ah ah ah Annudermales
I’m requesting the word Craps, as in the dice game. Why is it called craps? Who came up with it? Why is it when you lose you say, “I craped out”.
How about the word Dice as well. What came first, the dice or the craps ?
PD, Teacher doesn’t want to hear about your crappy word request about the word craps.
But what can I say? Im full of crap. I guess thats why my eyes are brown.
Ebson salts, work every time
Miss M. Was the lines in the video suppose to make it look like it was an old movie?
Shes been watching Quintin Tarantino movies.
I just love his movies. Their so bass ackwards to watch
I think its just Miss M using a bit of the ‘Spice Weasel’ as they say in Futurama.
I thought a spice weasel was a, well you know. Sk. Flute, meat whistle, well you get the idea. To much coffee or caffeine, I am WAO tonight.

Marina, can you investigate the phrase “Pipe Dream”.
Thats a good one Dr Kindo
That is almost the definition for British Thermal Unit. The quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water one degree.
A little bit of Knowledge. In a house fire one gallon of water will expand 1700 times its normal size in steam to help put out and cool down the inside of the structure.
Mike
Wow! Now if I can get my blood to expand at lease 2 times its normal size, I would really be happy!
Hmmm, interesting, I like little factiodes like that.
I just had to look up factoid for some reason. And found a wiki post.
A factoid is a possibly spurious (unverified, incorrect, or invented) and often allegedly counterintuitive “fact” with little significance outside the possibility of its own statement. It appears in the Oxford English Dictionary[1] as “something which becomes accepted as fact, although it may not be true”, namely a speculation or an assumption. The term was coined by Norman Mailer in his 1973 biography of Marilyn Monroe[2] (this being, incidentally, an archtypal factoid itself). Mailer described a factoid as “facts which have no existence before appearing in a magazine or newspaper”, and created the word by combining the word fact and the ending -oid to mean “like a fact”
Now that was a bit interesting.
Ok, I like little FACTS like that.
Well FACTS are just part of an ACT or ACTS. The F is false so you have to drop it. This leaving you only with the ACT of the information that was corrupted with the letter F to which was found to be false. We can conclude that all FACTS are false or ACTS.
My sister and I sometime go to see a movie together. Before the movie starts there is this 60 second slide that says Lowes Theaters.
We get bored easily so we take the word
T H E A T E R S
and see what words we can come up with. Now you can NOT rearrange the order of the letters. You have to read them left to right.
For example EAT THE HAT AT THE E.R.
Yes I can be left in a dark room with one word and be entertained for hours.
good morning! here is felicity from Japan. I won 1st!!
not 1st …3rd calorie
Sorry felicity, I waited several minutes to give you a chance, but I couldn’t resist.
I need some help? My video card built onto the motherboard is failing. I bought a new one a GeForce Graphic NVidia 6200 256 mb DDR2 agp 4x 8x support. My computer has a 4x agp slot but every time I install the card the computer wants to keep rebooting on me. I used the right video drivers with it. Help.
Now that you mentioned it I don’t think I turned off the on board card in the bios. Thanks.
So did I darling, but couldn’t wait forever. so sorry
Hey Mike, I have the 7300 NVidia card in my PC. See if you can get into the BIOS and disable your on-board video. There might be a jumper on the motherboard also if it is an older board. The only other help would be to search Google for NVidia problems, the NVidia site, go to the motherboard website and search for issues or contact a local geek in the neighborhood visit a PC shop.
I am japanese. Give me a break!
