I have also heard that the 4th Earl of Sandwich had a club foot. Due to this, he is reportedly the first person on record to wear shoes made specifically for the right and left foot. Prior to this, shoes could be put on either foot, interchangebly.

hahaha nice joke prospero !
Thanks, Marina! Another honorable mention! By the way, the French say sandwich, and I wonder how many other languages also use the English word?

I do have a sandwich joke but it is a bit explicit but I did post it in your Bar & Pub video.
Hi Marina, Nice Vids, Very Educational, Thanks for the vids, and hope u had a nice day!

hi marina,
i’ve been thinking of words to ask you about their origins and the other day an ambulance on an emergency call overtook me. so it got me thinking if you could tell me the origin of the word ambulance? love your work and your lessons by the way.
Hey Marina, is the Pete in the phrase “for Pete’s sake” have an origin? Or who was he that we must sake him for?
Hey hotforwords I was wondering if you can do the word f@#k.
I know its a curse word but I heard that it had a very interesting origin.
I was once told that many years ago in England the place and time where people were allowed to have sex was regulated by the King. when a man and a woman wanted to have sex they would ask the king for permission and if granted, the king would provide a designated room in which they would have sex. Now the word comes from the fact that a sign would be placed outside the room. this sign read:
Fortification
Under the
Consent of the
King
So by using the first letters of the words the word f@#k is today used to describe, in a vulgar manner, when someone has sex.
I wanted to know if this is true and how did its meaning also adapt to describe something bad such as “F@#k you” or to an adjective such as “this F@#king car!”
Please do this word. I’m not trying to be provocative, I just thought other people might want to know and sadly it is a very common word.
Hello
I was thinking about the origin of the word “salsa”, as a dance.
There is something at wiki, but still I see no connection between quite sexy dance and sauce.
Ya i was wondering the origin of the word hamburger. if there is no ham in it y do they call it that?
The hamburger is a slab of ground beef, common in the city of Hamburg, Germany
Hi ALL. How about the origins of the word ” Networking”. It’s one of those annoying words that people always use and tend to use it wrong.
MARINA, YOU ARE SO GREAT IVE BEEN WATCHING A BUNCH OF YOUR VIDEOS SINCE IVE BEEN ON YOUR YOUTUBE PAGE AND THIS SITE.. I HAVE A REQUEST, WILL YOU PLEASE EXPLAIN THE WORD “VISSICITUDE” IN A VIDEO? IT WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED
Me and this guy would be best friends, I always try it the easy way…….eat a sandwich here, do this there….. I´m forced to, womans always need something to be fixed, so….
You look rrrrr
If you meet a nice woman outside it is your duty to get some slices of meat, so you won´t forget her…..
… 
sXePhil is running YouTube videos on his blogtv show.. right now!
He also ran the Uncle video from HFW… ppl loved it!
Here’s a word….Pirate..or Landlubber
And here’s a joke to go with:
A pirate and a landlubber are drinking together in a bar.
The pirate has a hook, a pegleg and a patch on his eye.
The landlubber asks the pirate how he got his pegleg and pirate responds, “Argh! Me lost it to a croc down in the Keys”.
The landlubber looks amazed and says, “Wow, that must’ve really hurt”!
The pirate responds with a simple nod of his head.
They are getting more drunk and the landlubber asks how the pirate lost his hand. “Argh!” says the pirate. “A pirhannee took it in the Caribee”!
The land lubber winces in pain for the pirate and says “Ouch”!
Again, a simple nod from the pirate.
The two are completely drunk now and the landlubber gets up the courage to ask the pirate how he lost his eye.
“Argh! A seagull pooped in me eye” says the pirate.
“How did a seagull pooping cause you to lose your eye?” asks the landlubber in a state of confusion.
The pirate hangs his head down in shame and says,
“It happened the day after me got me hook”!!!!
lol
The “land lubber” appears to be a mispronounciation of
“land LOVER”.
From social psychology, it’s common to call groups of people names by the jobs they do, their preferences, or their appearance in order to feel better about themselves.
It would fit that sailors would distinguish themselves by calling all the guys who won’t go to sea for months at a time “Land Lovers,” which could be said in a derogatory way 
. That would serve as a way for seamen (sailors) to bond, and also for them to “protect” themselves against the slurs launched by the hoity-toity people who look down their nose at the rough-hewn sailors 
.
Wow! I didnt know it was spelled out as “Land Lover”. You would think they would teach things like that in college. It was a “joke” dude. Landlubber was intentional.
LOL…besides, with Marina’s accent it would probably sound like landlubber anyhow…lmao
Stenosisdude,
Yeah, I know that YOU know how to spell lover, I was saying that I think over time that drunken sailors mispronounced lover as “lubber”, and that people then wrote it that way. I do not doubt that YOUR personal knowledge of how to spell is intact and I wouldn’t think to question it. 
I was giving a social psychology account of how things like that happen 
I think everyone on here is cool and that we’re all having a good time so have a good night, bro.
I would like to know about the word Indian Thanks
the ones with dots on the forehead or feathers in the head?
Seriously though, the word Indain came from when the first explorers set foot in the new world. They were looking for a faster way to India and when they saw land they thought they had made it. So the first people they saw they, mistakenly, called indains because they thought they were in India.
The word I mean is “Shaman” which can mean anything from a Holyman, medicine man, witch doctor, healer, priest or priestess, or in some cases even a monk.
In English its self, there are about 3 ways to pronounce this word which are all considered correct in the Dictionary: Some people say: “Shah-men”, “Shay-man”, and “Sham-uhn”… and I’ve heard it other ways, as well… including the last syllable “man” being propounded different ways with different vowel sounds.
Yet, the word “Shamanic” has only 1 correct pronunciation.
So, does the origin of the word have something to do with the word “Sha” + “man”? But, what is a “Sha”?
Or perhaps is it “Sham”? as in “Sham” + “man”
i think you should search the origin for the word “wedgie”, it was mentioned a few times in your “Say Uncle” video. It would be a funny one, and hopefully your sister won’t give you any during the process!
im in love with the iphone 3g its fantastic
im gonna buy it ,and then i can check miss hot on my mobilephone
how cool is that
im wondering since amerika is often years ahead with gadgets .
do you have a better version already or is the iphone 3g the latest????
anyways it supercool
I’d like to know the origin of the word “pussyfoot”. Thanks
It would make sense that to “pussyfoot” is to “tread lightly” into new situations and to be noncommital about their actions. Being tentative, indecisive, and/or noncommittal are traits that make a LOT of people in the business world lose their tempers
…at least, that’s what I’ve noticed about a couple of my old bosses.
Hi Marina. I just wanted to say that your lessons are great and I also wanted to request a word. The word is LUTHIER, I don’t know how you call there, but here (in Brasil) is that guy who make and fix musical instruments. Thanks…
i have often wondered how the word “fanny” became to be used as a polite word for “ass” as in “get your fanny in gear” or “get your fanny out of here”. Thanks for investigating.
Malan
How about looking into the word “moment,” which means so many different things: a brief unit of time, something important (as in the word “momentous”), having to do with movement (as in “momentum”), having something to do with force. And while I’m at it, what about “minute,” another unit of time and pronounced differently (MY newt), a small quantity. And how did “second” get to be both a unit of time and the place after first?
let’s get back to some harder words lol your still hot
Here is a serious question for everyone from Japan. Then exactly what did the earl call the food???? Do you know that, anyone???
He called it an Earl after the famous Duke who had the same eating and gambling habits.

Hi Marina =D.
I think you should do the word Lugubrious, Or Lugubriosity.
It is my all time favorite word, just because of how it sounds =).
While as people say depressed, I say lugubrious ^^.
I am sorry Marina, but I am a bit disappointed by your last posts.
Where are the special or strange words, with surprising origins?
Everyone could figure out your last words by picking a dictionary.
I see lots of good suggestions for words by your visitors.
Do you read them? Still, I love you.
marinade, if I did primarily strange words then I don’t think people would find my lessons as interesting. If you look at my complete list of words (www.hotforwords.com/words/) you will see that I have done quite a few un-common words.. but what I think most people find interesting is that common words have such interesting origins.
So there will always be a mix of strange words (Coulrophobia, Sisyphean) with ordinary words… whatever words have an interesting story.
Hi Marina. Thank you very much for telling us the origins everyday. Your explanations are very intriguing. If I read them in a dictionary or something, I would feel bored. I m sure everyone wants to get information from you!
Marina ! You are absolutely right ! Words are living beings, they are born, they live, they are successful or have accidents, they can even die.
I am going to take the world WICH in SANDWICH. Everybody forgot that WICH means “village” like in GREENWICH. The word is cognate to Latin VICUS “village” and Slavic VES’ “village” (ВЕСЬ in old Russian). I know that you know and that telling that should have made a too long movie for some who are not as hot as you are for words.
Wow! Thanks dictionaricdotcom! I often overlook the most basic parts of words as well.. and didn’t even think to go into the detail on the actual name Sandwich! Very helpful! Bonus points for you
Eco-friendly…posturing…net-texting…be good
…Just showing off! 
Didn’t we also discuss some time ago that “vik” meaning “village” was the first part of “Viking” and that the Vikings got their name from the fact that they were “Village People”? No, not those Village People, nor these, these ones.
Hi Marina! Can you find out what the phrase, “Viva La” means? I hear it all the time, and I think it would make a fun video for all of us!
Requesting the word Noob, also known as nub, nab, nubzoid, nubazour, nubcake, or nooby. The first time I ever heard it I thought it was spelled newb, because it was suppose to point out that I’m a new comer to that domain. Well which is it HotForWords?!
Chemikal, I think a lesson on that might be in order! People already forget where the noob comes from! So I think it could be a fun lesson.. maybe I’ll address a couple 1337 speak terms.
Thanks!
hey! i was first!
I just herd another one today… noobsauce! people make up the weirdest words.
Very entertaining…
When you mention my name (for the 1st time, on your show) please don’t say it with a bored tonality, that’s just not me.
Have fun with this one… I’m sure we will!
All the best,
Chemikalzz
aLx no one is taking anything away from you… But can’t you let a brother have his moment? I clearly requested a different word than you (you requested leetspeak on the Molotov lesson, I remember).. so… Tough!
lol, chemikal, don’t worry. sometimes even i am trying to be funny. :/
so, i second your request without whishing for being mentioned.
have your moment, bro.;)
You should find the origin of the word “Geomatics” I graduated college with a degree in Geomatics Engineering. Nobody knows what this is. I figure lots of people will learn if you do a bit on it!
Thanks and Take care!!
Can you do the origin of the word “wedgie”?
A guy walks into a pub and sees a sign hanging over the bar-
Cheese Sandwich: ?1.50
Chicken Sandwich: ?2.50
Hand Job: ?10.00
Checking his wallet for the necessary payment, he walks up to the bar and beckons to one of the three exceptionally attractive blondes serving drinks to an eager-looking group of men.
“Yes?” she enquires with a knowing smile, “can I help you?”
“I was wondering”, whispers the man, “Are you the one who gives the hand-jobs?”
“Yes”, she purrs, “I am.”
The man replies “Well wash your bloody hands, I want a cheese sandwich!”
Good Morning Daniel.

My story (sorry for the bad English) :
It’s on the planet beezbeez populated by green shit flies. Two youngsters are in a fastfood.
The first one : “I want a sandwich with shit and onion, please !”
The second one “I will take the same but without onion, tonigh I have a rendez-vous with my sweetheart !”
Is is a good one, LOL
Thanks !
Bar joke: One fly sat on a dog turd, savoring its freshness. Another one flew close by and asked politely, “Is this stool taken?”
Dear Marina,
I just watched your Female vs. Male vid where you said Male = evil.
I was wondering is there a connection between evil and live if you spell one backwards you get the other. Does that mean since we live we are evil or do we have to be evil to live????
There are only so many letter combinations possible, it’s bound to get some silly coincidences once in a while.
Hello Marina, I have just subscribed to your page and have also (obviously) just became a member of your site.This is my first comment and I would like to start off by saying thank you for all your efforts in spreading knowledge to the global public. In the last hour me & my girlfriend learned the origins of soccer, sandwich, the birds and the bees, and also many other words because of you. I’m excited and eager to view your catalog of words and also anticipate future videos. Unfortunately, I do not have any sandwich jokes but I do have a word request. Me and my girlfriend would like to know the origins of the word condom. Thank you once again.
Hey Davidjuaquin, Im the unofficial doorman. Capman911 had to go to bed, so I’m filling in for him. I welcome you to HotForWords. There are many interesting lessons here. Marina is always here to help us get the true fact of word origins. Feel free to visit often and comment and post your homework here. Many of us talk a bit off topic but we generally get back on track by the next lesson. Hope you both enjoy your etymology adventures here.

Hey Captin,
I’ve been here for about a week and have learned alot. I have also requested alot (as you can see if you follow the logs). I have noticed some people request the same word on many lessons. Does this help or just anoy everyone? and also I know Marina has a ong list to go through, do you know HOW long?
Her list is over 2,000,000 words long. So she is taking popular request first and/or words that she is able to find something interesting to talk about. One person repeating the request doesn’t necessarily move it any further up in the list. But if many request the same word sometime moves it up the list. It takes her time to do research on the word and then make up a video. She does this full time. Im not sure if she even takes any time to eat. LOL
__/)__
Maybe this is too easy, but it is such a nice word: serendipitous.
Chuck, the canopenerguy
i would also like the know the origin of the word “referee” it is an unusual word too many e’s
i would like to know the root to the word “poker” the card game
Марина, as you have done “sandwich” and “tomato”m how about doing the sandwich type of food that is associated with tomatoes:
Пицца
Also, something that is also similar:
Паста
(I will bet that these two words are related somehow.)
Пака
i have a word suggestion, where does the word “word” come from. its such a weird word.
How about the threat of having to eat a “Lard sandwich”!
I though you said Leonard sandwitch.
Hey marina i am niks12 from youtube or Nikhil (in life) I wanted to know the origin of the word ‘FLIRT’
People use it almost everyday in life you know 
Thanks for reading this and i hope you investigate it 
FLIRT comes from French FLEURETTE “little flower”.
In oldish French “conter fleurette” means “to tell about little flowers” very similar to BEES and BIRDS.
Making love surrounded by little flowers, bees, birds and nettle is so romantic !
oh thanks
That word has been requested in an earlier post. Maybe Marina will do a lesson on it.
@ Dictionaric, Wow that sound romantic….
Boy I hope she can do a video on this word. I think she can come up with something romantic to go with it. 
Now thats asandwich
By the way one of my pet peevs: the word is SANDwich NOT SAMich as some people say.
Hey wait could you tell us the orign of petpeev?
Yeah I want to know the origin of the word petpeev
Awrgh! That sandwich was gnarly, smokey!
Pet peeve? It’s 2 words, btw.
Cheers, bro.
Everyone must have gone to bed early. Ate to many sandwiches and now they are sleepy. Are you still up Miss.M.
It sure has been a lot nicer around here. I don’t know haw many students you have, but you keep us all under control. Bravo 
hey cap man nice looking bike what year is it
Hi Marina,
How about investigating the origin of the word “bourgeois”?
Plexusmaster
BOURGEOIS is once again a French word.
A BOURGEOIS is etymologically the dweller of a BOURG or BOROUGH, a town.
In the Middle Ages the urban population was made up by the richer class of the people. In the modern time the word got a still more social meaning of “rich capitalist vs poor worker”.
hi hot for words! i was wounding about the word…Cafeteria! please tell me where this word comes from! pretty please!
i was always told that sandwich was made to keep the grease of the meat off of his hands while you played cards so you put the meat between pieces of bread and that is where sandwich was made
once again, you look great. where’s Kobe? will you investigate the origins of “booze” or “hootch” ? thanks in advance

Aloha Marina,

Hey Hot, I Got A Great Word. This Is The State Fish Of Hawaii; Humuhumukununukuapua’a. Please Tell Us.
Is the fish as long as it’s name.
Dear Marina, I rated your video five stars. For your homework, I’ll call a hamburger a sandwich (which it is), so here are three jokes: (1) How do you make a sad cheeseburger? You make it with blue cheese!
(2) Where would you take a hamburger on New Year’s Eve? To a meat ball! 
(3) In Hawaii, how can you enjoy a hamburger and dance the hula at the same time? You have a burger and a shake!
I’ve been a subscriber since July 3rd (almost two weeks) and this was a very good homework assignment! Your dear student, Seesix CM6
I’ve got a word for you… while listening to your interview with the Maxim guys, one of them used the word “bamboozle”… where does that come from? I looked through your word lists and couldn’t see it anywhere…

WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT

John was visiting France, and while in Paris John decided to take a guided tour around the beautiful cathedral on the banks of the Seine. As he were being shown around the building, all of a sudden John spotted a sandwich box lying on the floor.
So John picked it up, and handed it to the guide. He was very apologetic, and hurried off with it. After a few minutes, John could hear him calling up the bell tower,”Quazimodo! You left your sandwich box lying around again!”
When the guide returned, he apologized again, and when John asked him about the sandwiche box, he said, “Don’t worry about it… it’s just the Lunchpack of Notre Dame.”
anuddermale,
I checked out the link next to your name and the photobucket link
I recently bought a CanonEOS 40D and two lenses:
EFS 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS and EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III USM.
Now the fun starts.
Oh, and about the trucker joke-
nothing is cheap, everything is relative
oh, boy…Warren, paparazzo at ur service…be careful who u snap – sometimes they snap back, ’specially on the nude beaches (which, i hasten to add, i have only heard, never experienced)…
the photobucket account should only let you peruse the “open to the public” folder…pretty cheap at $40/year…
Sooo bad its great. Thank you for sharing this one.
The user guide is my first project.
I’ll stick to landscapes until I build up some confidence.
Marina, you look gorgeous as usual.
Hi HotForWords! I want to know the origin of the word orgasm, can you please tell us?
Life is like a sh*t sandwich: the more bread you have, the less sh*t you have to eat.

shasterisk on a shingle…mmmm…
It’s a board game of world domination that was specifically developed to be played only on the summit of Mt. Shasta! What’d ya think it was?
A trucker who has been out on the road for three weeks stops into a brothel outside Vegas. He walks straight up to the Madam and hands her $500.00. “I want your biggest woman, a bologna sandwich and a glass of Kool-Aide”.
The Madam is astonished. “For that kind of money you could have one of our best girls and a great meal”.
The trucker replies, “I ain’t horny, I’m homesick”
Ha! That was great.
and cheap…
Yep, when I first read it I couldn’t stop laughing for awhile.
Warren since your a trucker is this about you
One part is.
Go ahead, have a sandwich
that funny
One cucumber sandwich please.
OMG! Thats just not right!!! LOL. Oh your all so sick! I can never eat another cucumber ever again.
*Look in fridge for salad makings, see lettuce, tomatoes, olives, carrots, peppers, and one very large cucumber. Looks like a good dinner salad makings tonight!*
You might want to stay away from the carrot too
Oh thats right. hehehe.
I usually can eat a whole cucumber before a movie is over.
I cut it up in thin slices and soak them in some sort of vinegar an onions over night. I have like 4 different flavor of vinegar. Its my healthy replacement for potato chips. I still eat more than my share of potato chips. 
Since I eat a lot of Asian type foods I guess I can splurge a bit. 
Gross that is just wrong on so many levels, still funny but GROSS
good one marina5*

Sand Wedge
*Snicker, That was cute.

I request you do a video on the word “wedgie”.
Thank you.
Someone asked about the word “stereotype,” and i think it was invented by Walter Lippmann, the political columnist to mean an in-depth portrait of a group (from “stereo,” which means depth) but somehow with increasing usage it has come to mean a superficial portrait that is mostly wrong. So it’s one of those words whose current meaning is the opposite of it’s original meaning. Unless this is wrong.
stereotype
1798, “method of printing from a plate,” from Fr. stéréotype (adj.) “printing by means of a solid plate of type,” from Gk. stereos “solid” (see sterile) + Fr. type “type.” Noun meaning “a stereotype plate” is from 1817. Meaning “image perpetuated without change” is first recorded 1850, from the verb in this sense, which is from 1819. Meaning “preconceived and oversimplified notion of characteristics typical of a person or group” is recorded from 1922. Stereotypical is attested from 1949.
source: http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?search=stereotype&searchmode=none
I don’t think thats what they ment
According to Wikipedia:
‘American journalist Walter Lippmann coined the metaphor, calling a stereotype a “picture in our heads” saying “Whether right or wrong, …imagination is shaped by the pictures seen… Consequently, they lead to stereotypes that are hard to shake.” (Public Opinion, 1922, 95-156).[23] In fact, cliché and stereotype were both originally printers’ words, and in their literal printers’ meanings were synonymous. Specifically, cliché was a French word for the printing surface for a stereotype.’
So if Wikipedia is to be believed your date, Gwillikers, of 1922 must be when Lippmann published Public Opinion, in which he extended the meaning beyond printing. And it looks like my recollection of Lippmann’s created meaning of “in-depth” (and more or less true) picture is wrong. Now I feel I have to find his book and read it.
Again according to Wikipedia, “cliche” has the same history. That might be another nice mystery to solve, or solve further, for Marina.
I think Marina should shed some light on this. It seems the word has evolved into different meanings.
A slightly daft Biology teacher opens the class by saying “Today will disect a frog”.
He reaches into his briefcase and pulls out a plastic bag, opens it, and pours the contents onto the tabletop. Out rolls a sandwich.
“That’s odd” he mutters, “I distinctly remember eating my lunch.”
My dearest Marina,
After a recent painful experience with a leg cramp, it started me wondering where the term “Charlie horse” came from. It seems like a much too pleasant name for something so painful. Ahhhhhh!!!
Teacherman
How about the word “Quack” as in unlicensed doctor, sounds like a word to investigate.
Best Wishes, Ath, The crazy Swede
Good one. I have not met a doctor that I liked yet. I think even some of the licensed doctors are Quacks. Im a bit terrified of them really. To many relatives had very bad experiences. My step mother won millions from 2 malpractice suits. Yet my brother did well in his brain surgery. He’s cured and able to drive legally drive a car now.
So why do they call them quacks?
hello captain jack i think the same way it s like we make them out to be GOD and there are not
ERGOT from a rhizome plant of grain known as quackgrass—more request words—for quacks
Daniel, Yea and the charge more than a GOD would. I have found from a friend that in Mexico you can find really good doctors that charge a fair price and all are trained in the US. Some of the doctors moved from the US to Mexico just because.
Leonard, Quackgrass… That sound funny.
Quack=LSD…medusa head…bad grain for the brain…bread of grains
be good Jack and drain with the cains without the stains….remember the king’s joke not eating the bad grain…
[yeast ] sanddnas
Speaking of quacks why do they call psychiatrists shrinks?
Ted, I really don’t have psychotic reason why they are called shrinks. Thats good one for Marina to work on also. You ever notice that some psychiatrists appear that they themselves need a bit of help?
Hmmm, on the subject of psychiatrists being in need of thier own service, I would like to call that occupational hazard, you can’t spend 8 hours a day talking to nutjubs and worse without going ballistik soner or later yourself.
Would love if Marina choosed to do Quack as I said above =)
Best Wishes, Ath, The Crazy (in no need of a shrink) Swede
I would like to request the word “tedious”
3 madmen are in the desert, the first says to the others :
- Look ! If we are angry, i have brought a sandwich !
And the 2nd answers :
- Look ! If we’re thirsty, I ‘ve taken a flask !

Thanks for email me about the new lesson buddy. I was expecting a new post later in the afternoon. Funny I had been posting on ‘Say Uncle’ and didn’t even know there was a new lesson.
The Time Bandit web site I just typed in Time Bandit in Google and it gave me two or three web sites to look at.
Oh ok. Was just wondering.
Nice video, once again
I was watching the other one about how uncle meant mercy.
But I was left with a question…

Hey guys,
RR Resurrected? NOT>;
Congrats RRR for the mention
Hey thats a Fireman Mike joke! Cool!
When I heard the story of the origin of the sandwich, it was slightly different to your version, Marina.
You said that the Earl of Sandwich did not invent the sandwich; however the popular snack food item at the time was similar to the present day Smørrebrød from Scandinavia – a so-called open sandwich. It consisted of various delicacies placed on a piece of buttered bread – Smørrebrød literally means buttered bread.
The type of gambling that the Earl of Sandwich enjoyed was games of cards. Because the Earl was getting his fingers sticky with eating these items, he was transferring the stickiness to the cards, and so asked his servants to place another slice of bread on top of the food to avoid this contamination.
If this version is true, then he did indeed invent what we now refer to as a sandwich, which took its name from him.
Can I call you Uncle Bob now
Hey Mike what are we going to do about Bob
What about Bob? (”He’s never gone!”)
Ok, Marina, here’s one – what did the sandwich say to the teacher? “EAT ME!”
Marina, again with a food related lesson. I swear you have an oral fixation!
Sorry, but the only jokes I know are obscene. No sandwich jokes. Sorry.
I’m beginning to think that the sandwich jokes are like the sandwiches in an English pub – Same old thing with minor variations.
A little boy and a little girl attended the same school and became friends. Every day they would sit together to eat their lunch. They discovered that they both brought chicken sandwiches every day! This went on all through the fourth and fifth grades until one day he noticed that her sandwich wasn’t a chicken sandwich.
He said, “Hey, how come you’re not eating chicken, don’t you like it anymore?”
She said ” I love it but I have to stop eating it.”
“Why?” he asked.
She pointed to her lap and said “Cause I’m starting to grow little feathers down there!”
“Let me see” he said.
“Okay” and she pulled up her skirt.
He looked and said, “That’s right you are, better not eat any more chicken.”
He kept eating his chicken sandwiches until one day he brought peanut butter. He said to the little girl, “I have to stop eating chicken sandwiches, I’m starting to get feathers down there too!”
She asked if she could look so he pulled down his pants for her. She said “Oh, my God, it’s too late for you, you’ve already got the neck and gizzard!”
A little boy and a little girl were having their school lunch break together.
Whenever the little boy would say something, the little girl would better him:-
Boy: “I’ve got chicken sandwiches today.”
Girl: “Well, I’ve got turkey sandwiches.”
Boy: “I’ve got brown bread.”
Girl: “I’ve got organic, stone-ground, whole-wheat bread.”
Boy: “I’ve got salad cream in mine.”
Girl: “I’ve got home-made mayonnaise, made with fresh, organic eggs.”
This goes on for a while until the boy eventually gets really frustrated.
He drops his shorts and says, “I’ve got this and these.”
Whereupon the girl raises her skirt and says, “and I’ve got one of these, and when you’ve got one of these, you can get as many of those as you want.”
Love your lesson videos!
An Irishman, a Mexican and a Redneck were doing construction work on the scaffolding of a tall building. They were eating lunch and the Irishman said, “Corned beef and cabbage! If I get corned beef and cabbage one more time for lunch, I’m going to jump off this building.”
The Mexican opened his lunch box and exclaimed, “Burritos again! If I get burritos one more time, I’m going to jump off too.
“The Redneck opened his lunch and said, “Bologna again. If I get a bologna sandwich one more time, I’m jumping too.”
Next day the Irishman opens his lunch box, sees corned beef and cabbage and jumps to his death.
The Mexican opens his lunch, sees a burrito and jumps too.
The Redneck opens his lunch, sees the bologna and jumps tohis death as well.
At the funeral, the Irishman’s wife is weeping. She says, “If I’d known how really tired he was of corned beef and cabbage, I never would have given it to him again!”
The Mexican’s wife also weeps and says,”I could have given him tacos or enchiladas! I didn’t realize he hated burritos so much.
“Everyone turned and stared at the Redneck’s wife. “Hey, don’t look at me,” she said. “He makes his own lunch.”
Two attorneys went into a diner and ordered two drinks. Then
they produced sandwiches from their briefcases and started to
eat. The owner became quite concerned and marched over and
told them, “You can’t eat your own sandwiches in here!”
The attorneys looked at each other, shrugged their shoulders
and then exchanged sandwiches.
Good one, Subtle.

On a campaign tour Barak Obama was excited that the local sandwich shop in a town he was visiting had named a sandwich after him. When Obama asked what was on the sandwich, the owner said, “Oh, just a lot of baloney.”
Hey Marina! I’ve watched your very intuitive videos for about a month now and I’d like to request a word! Well, not a word per-say, but a phrase. “The whole 9 yards” I’ve heard it here and there and I’ve never really understood what it means. If you could make a video investigating this phrase I’d be very happy!

A priest and a rabbi are sitting next to each other on an airplane. After a while the priest turns to the rabbi and asks, “Is it still a requirement of your faith that you not eat pork?”
The rabbi responds, “Yes, that is still one of our beliefs.”
The priest then asks, “Have you ever eaten pork?”
To which the rabbi replies, “Yes, on one occasion I did succumb To temptation and tasted a ham sandwich.”
The priest nodded in understanding and went on with his reading. A while later, the rabbi spoke up and asked the priest, “Father, is it still a requirement of your church that you remain celibate?”
The priest replied, “Yes, that is still very much a part of our faith.”
The rabbi then asked him, “Father, have you ever fallen to the temptations of the flesh?”
The priest replied, “Yes, rabbi, on one occasion I was weak and broke with my faith.”
The rabbi nodded understandingly. He was silent for about five minutes, and then he said,
“Beats the hell out of a ham sandwich, doesn’t it?”

Q: Which is better, perfect contentment or a ham sandwich?
A: A ham sandwich. Because nothing is better than perfect contentment but… a ham sandwich is better than nothing!

Three construction workers were working on a sky scraper,
discussing their lunch.
The first construction worker said, “Ham, ham, ham! All I ever get
is a ham sandwich! I’m so sick of ham sandwiches. If I get another
ham sandwich tommorrow, I’m gonna jump off this building and kill
myself.”
The second construction worker said, “Turkey, turkey, turkey!!
All I ever get is a turkey sandwich! I’m so sick of them! If I get
ONE MORE turkey sandwich, I’m gonna kill myself, too!”
The last construction worker said, “Peanut butter, peanut butter,
peanut butter! All I ever get for lunch is a peanut butter
sandwich. I’m getting so sick of them! If I get another peanut
butter sandwich, I’m going to join you guys and jump off this sky
scraper.”
The next day, the first construction worker got a ham sandwich.
So he jumped off the building and killed himself.
The second construction worker got another turkey sandwich, so he
jumped off the building and killed himself.
And the third construction worker got a peanut butter sandwich, so
he jumped off the building and killed himself, too.
At the funeral, the wives were in mourning. The wife of the first
construction worker said, “If only he had told me! I wouldn’t have
made another ham sandwich.”
The wife of the second construction worker said, “If only he had
told me! I wouldn’t have made another turkey sandwich.”
The wife of the third construction worker said, “I don’t know why
he jumped. He always made his own sandwiches!”

Not ignored – she’s too cute for words so we’re all speechless.

I think it’s a put down if you tell anybody who’s very skinny to eat a sandwich.

An Englishman, a Scotsman and an Irishman met up for their lunch break every day at work. One lunch break, the Englishman says “Oh no! Not ham sandwiches again! If I get ham sandwiches tomorrow I’ll kill myself!” The Scotsman opens his and says “Oh man! Not haggis sandwiches again! If I get haggis sandwiches tomorrow I’m going to kill myself!” The Irishman opens his and exclaims “No way! Potato salad sandwiches! AGAIN! If I get these tomorrow I’m going to kill myself!”
The next day they all met up again, and the Englishman opens his lunch. “Ham sandwiches!? Right then!” he yells and throws himself off a cliff. The Scotsman opens his lunch. “Haggis sandwiches again! Thats it!” and he shoots himself. “What? Potato salad again?” cries the Irishman upon discovering his lunch, and he hangs himself.
At the funeral, the wives were huddled together crying. “I don’t get it,” said the Englishman’s wife. “Why didn’t he just tell me?” The Scotsmans’s wife agreed. “I know, he should have just said something. I don’t understand it!” The Irishman’s wife joined in. “I don’t understand!” she said. “He made his own sandwiches!”
No offense to Irishman
Rubber Baby buggy bumpers!
She sells sea shales down by the seashore!
I’ve always been curious as to the origin of the word, “shindig”. Even though it describes a party, dance, or event, it sounds quite painful.
Wow you put this one out early.
Usually it is out in the afternoon.
She was hungry
I guess she wanted a sandwich.
HotForWords,
Have your sister meet me at BlueJam and we’ll figure out some good sandwich jokes.
Can’t do any worse.
Now I have to go check out their lunch menu.
Ta Dah!!
Damn! I just went out to make myself a sandwich …
