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. 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?
Until now I was 100% caught up.
Your student,Tryant,lost deep within Your charms.
Marina the physics teacher
I haven’t been keeping up with videos lately because of my summer league. I’m sorry Marina.
Special undercover investigation… Fat Ride part 1, must stay tuned.
That guy just might be on to something.

Hey Gorgeous.! You want to go out and see some stars at ‘Passion Point’?
I’d like to learn the origin of “Butter up.” Does it come from the practice of using butter as a sexual lubricant?
Where does this expression comes from?

Hello Marina,
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?
Thank you!

No need to slam people in the gut with how smart you are, foxbow.
Be
NICEpleasant.-.- it’s just that it was way to easy… first hit on google ….
come on, bob. that doesn’t really have anything to do with being smart.
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
Dear Marina,
).i hope it’s an interesting world.

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…
I have on my ski boots so I am ready.
This will be my last post until sunday. Going to stay with family for a bit BYE!

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!

My Commander used to tell us that before we undertook a mission. But he never did explain what it meant.
Don’t know if anyone else has seen this but I found Marina asking someone from CoComment about the origin of paparazzi

Hi Marina. I’m a diplomat but have no idea where the word came from. Can you tell me?
Thanks,
Johnny
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

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_appen dix.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
