…..I am a Super hero……with super powers…!!…….AKA ( Captain britain ) …….
……..A little White lie……..how did that saying…..little white lie…….What has it got to do with white colour?…..investigate ….please…..
I wonder what’s still slowing the site down.
It could be that you have to many widgets and feeds loading at the same time… or you just need better JavaScript optimization coding. http://youtube.com/watch?v=vv2MnqP8Bmk
Please look into it, if you have time.
The new turbo powered, nitrous filled site just isn’t flying for me.
Or is it just me?
Let me know…
ooh.. cool, guys I’ve discovered the easiest way to get the 1st comment in the newest video section. How would you like to be able to refresh HFW in half a second? It can be done, i bullshit you not!
Bob, don’t be silly, she has to post it first. I only said I have found a way, that doesn’t mean that I will use it just to drive you all mad, and get called a cheater.
Hint… it’s all in the feedz.
I’m going to sleep, cy`all tomorrow…
Thanks for sharing you load times. It’s settled, on Monday I’ll have a chat with my ISP, there is still room for improvement.
I knowww, my internetz is not exactly cheap, so mine loads in 20 seconds, Gravatar and all.
If alx says he loads faster, then I’ll have a talk with my ISP, but I want to know for sure first.
I was watching The Bank Job last night (Jason Statham…oooh laaa laaa ) and heard the phrase “BELLY UP”. Of course, that got me wondering where Belly Up comes from….I think I know, but can you investigate that?
Can a person go belly up or just businesses? I’m very curious.
While in the Navy ( before the split up of the USSR ) I was preparing for a multi unit operation. An Op-plan was published with all the details of the operation, and it was classified SECRET.
While working with it one day ( in a sealed room with no windows ) I noticed that though the Op-plan was SECRET, all the paragraphs I’d read had a “U” in front, meaning they were UNCLASSIFIED ( a paragraph with CONFIDENTIAL information would have a “C” in front, a paragraph with something actually SECRET would have an “S” ).
While taking a break I paged through the Op-plan looking for any sections that were actually classified, and only found two. One was CONFIDENTIAL and I honestly don’t remember what it was. The other actually had an “S” in front. This one I remember verbatim:
“In the event of an actual armed conflict our probable adversary would be the Soviet Union or a Soviet Bloc ally.”
Was there anyone in the 80’s – on either side – who didn’t know this?
Yes, I could be court-martialed for revealing this, but they would have to admit that some twit had classified it in the first place. I think my pension is safe.
Oh thanks for that one Orion! Now I have to turn you in because I have this knowledge. Do you know the amount of paperwork I have to fill out? Well your lucky, because I hate doing paperwork so your secret is save with me. But I think NSA’s buddy’s have recored your message and will be contacting your shortly. Im just kidding about them contacting you…
I too seen many documents that where classified SECRET that I thought didn’t need that classification. My shipmates would joke and laugh at many of the classification. Then there where other documents that should have been classified SECRET and weren’t. Many times they where old documents. Sometime there is a date code of when the document was published.
Security was so loose, I thought a Russian spy could just walk up and say, “Hey Im your friendly neighborhood spy and I was wondering if you had any leftover secret documents I can get from you?” “Why sure let me get the round file and see what we have here.”
Now here is something you would find interesting. The recipe file box was classified information and had to be locked up every night. There is good reason for this. Now think about that one for a moment.
Makes sense. For example, people protest less about eating bull testicles if their origin is kept secret…OR if there’s a cover-up by calling them “Rocky Montain Oysters.” Bleech!
Interesting enough, food companies say EXACTLY what our products have, they just use scientific words that obscure the fact that somethings are made with animal fat, OR that LOTS of “juice cocktails” say they are juice, but actually contain mostly corn syrup.
The upshot of the SECRET Op-plan was the whol thing had to be kept in a safe. Anyone who wanted ( or needed ) to use it had to go through security measures that generally took longer than the actual use of the document. I suggested a Classified addendum for the two classified paragraphs, and the addendum could be kept in a safe, and the rest of the Op-plan could be kept in the open where it could actually be used. Nope, un-do-able.
I attended several UNCLASSIFIED lectures when some stuffed O would interject “well that’s classified, you know” and the lecturer would respond ” my source is Janes Aircraft, which is available worldwide,m and you just confirmed its accuracy.”
If your sister is in to a guy named John and he doesn’t even know about it, that is not love; That is infatuation. There’s a difference between a crush and real love… real love is reciprocated, whereas a crush is usually one-sided. Those who confuse their infatuation with real love usually end up getting a hard lesson in human nature, as the object of their affection will most likely reject them. For instance, if John has not interacted with your sister much, and hasn’t even gone out with her, he might be a little put off by all the interest in him. And, though it may sound a little crude, people need to spend a little time together in bed before they really commit to the whole love thing, at least that’s how a lot of women are (and some men).
Were this a real situation and not a hypothetical one, I would advise your sister to tone down her infatuation and wait to get to know John better before falling head over heels for him. It should also be expressed to John that she ‘likes’ him rather than that she ‘loves’ him. It’s even cool to express that she has a crush on him, though she might not want to come on too strong. Crushes and infatuation are cool (after all, they are very romantic in their own way), but one has to be smart with their crushes else risk losing the object of their desire. Maybe your sister should just seduce John and let him figure it all out in due time. All’s fair in love and war…
As for secrets, I have already (slightly) shared my secret of being a skilled fantasist when it comes to exploring a certain dark corner of human sexuality. Admittedly, it is an open secret, because there is no shame to my game. Still, I won’t go into further detail, as this is not quite the website for such discussions. Peace and love, Errin : )
well, i didn’t know your secret, so thank you for sharing it…i’ve chatted & met some really good people from sites where you kind of secret would be welcome…
and it’s the fact that they ARE dang good people that would surprise some here, as it did me, at first…
There is one easy way to define Love;
Love; You would die for Her.
Lust ; You want Her body and sex the hell out of Her.
Friend; You want her body but, She doesn’t think of you like that.
Teacher; You want Her body.
You don’t really love someone unless you are prepared to allow them the freedom to do something you disapprove of, even if their doing so means that you can never see them again.
Marina , Why not just get a rock and have it chrome plated/ electroplated and just give it a toss, and say there take that you little witch. Then the only question would be witch little witch you would toss. Way i see it you can’t do without the little witches
I not only spanked my kids, I spanked them again if they complained about the punishment, or said I was unfair. We never spanked them without thoroughly explaining why they were being punished and what we expected from them. They never threw tantrums, by the time they could form sentences, and to this day I am always told what great daughters I have. They are mostly grown now and I had no major problems with them, as I thought I would in their teen years. They argue about who’s clothes are whose with each other, but that’s about the worst of it. I know they wouldn’t have turned out so well if we hadn’t of given the tough love. One time when my daughter Asia was 4, she hit her little sister and immediately knew she was in trouble, she she walked over to me and turned around and bent over. That was a tough spanking to give, but I had to be consistent, since we had a rule . I am very close with all three and and they have told me that they are thankful for their upbringing, when they see other kids acting up, and the parents act like it’s out of their hands. I don’t believe in this time out stuff, especially when the child is still allowed to throw a fit. All they do is eventually calm down and then they are set free with no real consequences for the the bad behavior.
Here is my daughter Asia, to put a face with the name.
lol. cool. looks like she’s got some funny stuff. like, “dad playing video games…I am genetically doomed to never grow up”, “my dad is the meanest dad ever.” haha. P
I spent more than 1/2 hour wrighting a reply & it failed to post LOL.
again (short version) My hat’s off to you geronimo.
That was a tough spanking to give,
They (spankings) are & should never be easy to administer. Your daughter is a “jem”. Nice looking, with character, which doesn’t just happen. Jems are formed, but are valued for their rarity.
“Spanking” is debatable. I agree with you, but I made it a point to never spank when angry. I can count on one hand the number of times I had to do the corporal punishment thing to each of my three kids. The most memorable… having to discipline my only daughter for a temper tantrum & defiance. I was angry, I put her over my lap & hit my own hand, held over her derier, to protect her from my wrath. Funny, she cried more that time & I think it was that one time, that seems to have had the biggest impact on her inappropriate behavior. She is just married now & her new hubby seems to be, like my daughter, very happy.
Sounds like you haven’t grown up yet either…
your daughter is awesome – don’t let her go on America’s Got Talent ’cause the Hoff will hit on her…
i’m impressed, really…
the ex & i gave spankings when i was still there – or at least i did; now she grounds them or uses the timeout thing…too late for the 16-yr-old, but my 10-yr-old is the sweetest kid i know…
Thanks Nudder! My wife and I split up about 5 years ago, but the one thing we always agreed on was how to raise the girls. That makes a huge difference in the eyes of the kids. If the parents don’t agree on that, then they immediately see that the rules are one parents opinion and not written in stone. Kids pick up on these things quickly and will pit one parent against the other if they see the opportunity.
did you put a few links in it? because with wordpress you have the option to review comments first (if they, for example, contain more than a certain number of links), and then you can permit them to be posted (”moderate” them; in this case it should read “comment is awaiting moderation” right after you were trying to post it.). this helps to prevent spam since spam often contains a lot of links.
OK I am going to tell you my secret, but after all of you read it, your going to have to send me all of your addresses, so I can come and kill you. As soon as everyone agrees to these conditions I will tell the secret.
what is the origin of mathematics?the word and, if you could, science of;perhaps also later development and most important discoveries (geometry,integrals,game theory, etc.).thank you very much and have a nice day
Don’t keep the secret, Marina!
Please tell us salty dogs the origin of the word ’snorkel’, the thing which allows us to breathe while just below the water. Snorkeling can be fun!
Secretly, after a few beers I fancy myself as a bit of a Ricky Martin on the dance floor, unfortunately at best I’ve been told it’s more of a Ricky Bobby
Word Request: perspicacious
also, contrast the word(s) antinomy and antimony
[swapping the n and the m around]. I PHIL words!
Fun words just to say repeatedly . . .
Thumper (the Disney Bunny), phenacetin as well
as acetylsalicylic acid, deoxyribonucleic acid, and
the listz juss go on an on, like wuzz up wid da word!
i created a word on COD4( a videogame) the word: noobtube i looked my word up and it said:
The name given, by players of the game CoD4, to the assault rifle mounted grenade launcher do to the fact that it is seen as requiring little skill to use and the fact that it is, in fact, a tube.
but what i mean with noobtube is when you watch a noob playing, when you are not in the game( looking trough killcam or spectator) thats what i mend with noobtube, can you make a video cause everybody uses it the wrong way ( i just blurred the word out when i was playing on cod and just saw a video on youTUBE)
I don’t think you did, Nud.
This thread seems to be proof of the dictum:-
“There are only two types of people on the internet, men and men pretending to be chicks.”
Remember the Golden Rule.
hi marina i was just wondering where the word alcohol or universe/university and the phrase “hum drum” came from?
and isnt the phrase “straight from the horse’s mouth” from when the donkey spoke to the man in the bible.
hey – I’m really impressed with your website i 1st found it when looking for Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious – I was wondering if you could try and do the Shaken not Stirred . :p
Thank you.

My secret is a Russian one: For five months 1988-1989 my phone in Connecticut was wiretapped by FBI Counter-Intelligence. The reason was that the CIA was managing my protective surveillance (using FBI since I was inside the USA) after the NSA intercepted an intelligence “shopping list” (WITH MY NAME ON IT AND MY BOOK ON HYPERSONICS) transmitted from KGB headquarters “Moscow Centeral” to the KGB station chief in Washington. His name was Alexi Moryakov. I had talked with Alexi once about Soviet hypersonics and I liked him. His “cover” at Washington was “Science attache”. But, in fact, this smart, funny and capable 35 year old was a brigader general in the KGB and station chief for all of North America- from Mexico City to the North Pole! The FBI agent in charge of protecting me asked me if I would help the FBI bust Moryakov. Because of my work at the 1987 Paris Air Show (video director for Aviation Week Magazine) I knew already that things in Eastern Europe were going against the Soviets. And I didn’t think that “decapitating” Soviet intelligence in Washington at that time was smart. So I said no to helping bust the KGB man in Washington (who it turned out had developed traiters in both the FBI (Howard) and CIA (Ames) and was using there betrayal of Russian spies for the USA and this caused the murder of some 20 American spies in the Soviet Union.
I am really proud of you, Marina I love you Marina (and your work-mates who produce HotForWords) because you are so hard working and nice and happy…and for a Russian woman to have come as far as you is so amazing. Thank you for being you! Ochen Spaceeba, vwi ochen prekasniya devochka! Dzhon
PS: Marina, yesterday I wrote the campaign manager for John McCain and shared with him the one word I shared with Barak Obama’s communications people, when they were in laramie last march.
RESPONSIBILITY.
Politicians don’t use this word! I want leaders who are responsible to the people. What is the origin of the word, Responsible?
PPS: Sorry for spelling mistakes in “my secret” post above. I’ve been writing my novel all day and it’s 1am and I’m burned out!
In case you think I’m making the above up, the FBI told me I was one of the most popular American writers to be published in the Soviet military’s classified compendium of western military science
“Voyennaya Aviatsiya i Raketnaya Teknika”

Hi Marina, I have always wondered how the word “dork” made its way into English slang. I believe that the original meaning came refers the male anatomy, but now it is more commonly used to describe a silly person. Thanks!
Here’s are my 3 secrets what I love about any female to my liking more than tits 1.asses except 2 big, 2. sexy tongues moving in any direction and 3. love juice which makes me thirsty. I hope my secrets does not creep anybody out.
I would tell you a secret Marina… Only that I don’t have any secret even remotly intresting enough, except some work related buggers, but those are classefied information and could get me fired
Dear HotForWords,
Hi there, I stumbled across your youtube a few weeks back, and have been slowly catching up on the course material.
I wish to present a request for a small trio of associated words, one of which you have allready done.
The words in question are:
“Geek (which you have done), Dork, and Nerd”.
I think a comparison of the similarities and differences of these three words would make an interesting topic. Unless I’m mistaken I believe Nerd has an interesting origin as well
I’d also like to second michaellydon’s request below for Cantankerous, I know the usage, but I’d love to know what the origins are.
This is a terrific site, your whole concept is so original, so lively, so funny, and so interesting!! Thank you!

Well, that’s a few!! Keep doing your whole thing-it is so adorable and funny, the best thing that’s happened to vocabulary lessons since flash cards!!
The only one we know the answer for is “sight for sore eyes”. That’s simple – Marina! Sure makes my eyes feel better every time I watch her. More of that little yellow skirt please.
Welcome to hotforwords. Take a load off your feet. Just tack those requests onto the bottom of the list of over 1,000,000 words already requested… She’ll get to ‘em soon, I promise. But you’ll have to turn in some homework.
Captain Jack’s birthday?? razz razz
Is Marina going to give you a birthday
spankin’?
“…and ONE to grow on!”
Just don’t let her catch you wearing
your birthday suit! Woo Hoo!
29 AGAIN??? LOL
Welcome Back Sir Melikadothechacha!
Birthday spanking? I can only wish.
I have to take my birthday suit to the cleaners, so that shouldn’t be a problem.
29 AGAIN!! HELL YEA!! Hey that wasn’t’ that long ago. How old do you think I am???!!?? LOL
and they put the thing in ice cream to keep it “fresh”!
I’ll never look at Hagen daz the same, again…
i know what flavor it is NOW, what was it before?
Hi Marina. i was wondering about the origins of a word, but it might be too rude for your site. Any way, the word I was wondering about was “wank” or “wanker”.
Quite the gender-bender.
Wait! uh… ummm… uh…
Felicity is.. a… guy?
Oh well, Marina can give her
some fashion tips?
Just how do you apply
makeup to minimize
the size of your Adam’s Apple?
I hate being on GMT+2 time. I never get to spend any “live” time with you guys, unless I stay up late, like now… it’s almost 3:30 AM. It’s ridiculous.
OK I’m turning in, please no silly toothpaste pranks while I sleep, or else!
I just read a funny thing on this site. Over to the right in the recent posts is a article about Teachers Assistant Captain Jack Sandwich . I guess he had to change his last name. wha wha wha
no idea what happened to them. you know, i’ve been hanging around in chats for ages. sometimes they’d change the appearance or something, and a lot of people are like, this sucks, i’m not gonna come around here no more. well … they always come back.
I never went anywhere aLx,
I just stopped being a butt head fighting with the great unwashed.
You can be as big an ass as you like.
You won’t get a reaction from me.
” I’ll not say another thing.” That is all I said…
Keep your elbows off the table while eating. It can interfere with the person seated next to you.
I have had that happen to me once… but really I don’t know why it is regarded as a must in the Book`o`Manners. I believe it goes back to archaic versions of tables, where if you put your elbows on it, you’d tip the balance of the table.
I know you didn’t want me to answer, but hey, maybe Marina will get back to you, maybe not. So take what you can get, if your mind truly hungers knowledge.
Me too. My sister now asks me to put my elbows on the table just to rebel from past rules our parents put on us. Yet I still find myself remembering to take them off.
Secret: You look h**,…….I drove more than 10 times without a ticket in a train , I drove with 120 km/h throught the town once , I lied to the police twice , when we were in Italy the Italian gurlies made sort of a woman out of me and a friend, with make up and some fruits , the rest I won´t tell, sorry (I can´t tell real secrets, so I took some funny ones).
good vid. during 2nd world war britain there was a poster campaign which read “keep mum, she’s not so dumb” with a female in the background, indicating that a person who overhears your conversation may be a spy.
schrodinger’s cat. . . he put a cat in a box with an unstable mixture of lethal chemcals. there was a 50/50 chance the chemicals would react and kill the cat. . . . however. . the cat was proven to be neither dead nor alive until someone opened the box and looked in, therefore curiosity killed the cat! this was a genuine scientific experiment so there is probably a more in-depth/accurate explanation on the net somewhere.
Schrödinger’s cat, is a THOUGHT experiment devised by Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger in 1935. Thought experiments are just that. Not a experiment carried out in real life. This was just a method to explain how subatomic particles might react.
Schrödinger’s thought experiment was intended as a discussion of the EPR article, named after its authors: Albert Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen in 1935. The EPR article had highlighted the strange nature of quantum superpositions. Bro adly stated, a quantum superposition is the combination of all the possible states of a system (for example, the possible positions of a subatomic particle). The Copenhagen interpretation implies that the superposition only undergoes collapse into a definite state at the exact moment of quantum measurement.
So in simple terms there is no way to see if the cat is alive or dead without having to open the box. Opening the box is the same as making a measurement. It’s a catch 22. (Hey Marina! Where did catch 22 come from?)
For further information, Look up the double slit experiment and you will find evidence of superposition. There is a DVD called “Down the Rabbit Hole” that has some good example of what superposition would look like. There is even good examples of the double slit experiment.
Please explain the origin of the word, Traitor. My wife is from the former Soviet Republic of Georgia and had never heard of it. She understands fluent Russian, has a MA in Turkish, and speaks Greek, Hebrew, Arabic, and Farsi, but her English is terrible. However, I did get her to join HotForWords and she now has WhiteSmoke.
Thats one wordsy lady! I commend her efforts on learning so many words, but now… it’s your responsibility to help her understand what Marina is saying, so she will get the “bug” as well. Once she’s hooked, her English will improve on a daily basis.
Marina has that effect on people. I’m speaking from personal experience!
I just wanted to see if you would do the word, Vaudeville. I know its a place but I don’t know what the first part of the word means. Well I hope I get pick.
Just a second here. I have secrets like anyone else, but once someone else knows it, it’s no longer a secret by definition, right? I mean, I’ve heard the phrase “hide it in plain sight” before, but honestly, Marina, how can one expect people leave their secrets in a public place? I think we both know it’s pretty difficult to keep something private a secret once it’s posted on the net. Just ask Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee! But I digress. Since this is my homework, I guess I have to turn something in…..
So here’s my secret: (I’m not wearing any underwear!) Now DON’T tell anyone!!!!
i thinked your sister must’ve mumbled…she really said, “Tom”…but i didn’t know they had hired her where i work…(-;
as for the homework, sorry, gentlemen don’t tell secrets, and despite some contrary opinions, i do try to be a gentleman…
okay, one not-so-secret: i think you are cool beans (now when did that phrase come about?)…if you had a older man complex, i’d be complex enough for you…
cool beans
haven’t heard that in awhile
just staggering up to the queue
it’s my first day, again
I woke up deneuralyzed,
(wearing a mailman’s uniform?)
Dear Marina, I rated your video five stars. You look good in a black T-shirt. Also, videos from your bed look much nicer than videos with your kitchen in the background. For your homework, here is a secret: Your sister feels love for a co-worker named “John.” Oh, that’s the secret you told us. Well, since I mentioned “kitchen”, here is another secret: The “eleven secret herbs and spices” used to make Kentucky Fried Chicken are:
Rosemary
Oregano leaves
Powdered sage
Powdered ginger
Marjoram
Thyme
Brown sugar
Dry minced parsely
Pepper
Paprika
Garlic salt
Onion salt
Powder chicken bouillon
Lipton tomato cup-a-soup mix
The above are in small amounts. The main ingredients they use are flower, salt, pepper, and MSG. Then they deep fry it, so it definitely is not a healthy food for us.
I hope you hear many secrets about which girl is in love with which boy. Your dear student, Seesix CM6
MARINA,since you’re Russian like me i know that you can keep secret like nobody else…so i have to reveal a secret i’ve never revealed…about ten years ago i really did something evil…i confess it since there were in the same place on the ALPS where i was spending my holidays some mean people who hated me without a precise reason i decide to do something mean: i reached at night with some sheperds of the those small villages the places where the were at camp and we started to do some eerie noises…you can imagine that….the place was so gloomy at night…but then since they left their shoes out of their tents we decided to take all of them away with us to the town the camping place was something like four or five hours walk from the main road….in those years few people had mobile phones…then the following morning i even decided to hang their shoes at the playground of the main town where they left and i wrote ..gentlemen,voilà ..here you can admire and have back your shoes…that’s the worst thing i’ve ever done,i confess and repent but i was too young and stupid barefoot into the wild….
Dear Misha,they didn’t pick on me anymore because actually i did not see them walking for quite a looong time.. i really don’t know whether someone else could have been as evil as i have that time ….
ummmm i dont have any secrets lol and my mom cant keep a secret at all lol. i can thow
We all like to play; and this is my todays random lesson. Secret or not: I had a personal relationship with the first team to win the superbowl, back then super glue was invented and priests prayed more for sports than in jungle war of old colonial France, where Amereicans fought…
oh baby `re so hot
Mum is not the word. Grease is the word.

Марина ти супер
I was wondering where the word abortion came from
Where does “Humor” come from?
And what does it have to do with my senses?
Hey Marina!
I was wondering what science has to do with your conscience?
I wonder what’s still slowing the site down.
It could be that you have to many widgets and feeds loading at the same time… or you just need better JavaScript optimization coding. http://youtube.com/watch?v=vv2MnqP8Bmk
Please look into it, if you have time.
The new turbo powered, nitrous filled site just isn’t flying for me.
Or is it just me?
Let me know…
it’s just you.
how long does it take you to fully refresh a page?
just tying to get an impression…
ooh.. cool, guys I’ve discovered the easiest way to get the 1st comment in the newest video section. How would you like to be able to refresh HFW in half a second? It can be done, i bullshit you not!
Well, go on then …
Bob, don’t be silly, she has to post it first. I only said I have found a way, that doesn’t mean that I will use it just to drive you all mad, and get called a cheater.
Hint… it’s all in the feedz.
I’m going to sleep, cy`all tomorrow…
Thanks for sharing you load times. It’s settled, on Monday I’ll have a chat with my ISP, there is still room for improvement.
42 seconds to refresh the page @23:45 GMT/UTC.

Hi Marina,
I was watching The Bank Job last night (Jason Statham…oooh laaa laaa
) and heard the phrase “BELLY UP”. Of course, that got me wondering where Belly Up comes from….I think I know, but can you investigate that?
Can a person go belly up or just businesses? I’m very curious.

BoArgMir, I liked that movie, especially the fact that it was based on a true story.

Look, It’s a Coo–Koo bird. Coo-Koo ! Cooo-Koo ! Coo-Koo !
While in the Navy ( before the split up of the USSR ) I was preparing for a multi unit operation. An Op-plan was published with all the details of the operation, and it was classified SECRET.
While working with it one day ( in a sealed room with no windows ) I noticed that though the Op-plan was SECRET, all the paragraphs I’d read had a “U” in front, meaning they were UNCLASSIFIED ( a paragraph with CONFIDENTIAL information would have a “C” in front, a paragraph with something actually SECRET would have an “S” ).
While taking a break I paged through the Op-plan looking for any sections that were actually classified, and only found two. One was CONFIDENTIAL and I honestly don’t remember what it was. The other actually had an “S” in front. This one I remember verbatim:
“In the event of an actual armed conflict our probable adversary would be the Soviet Union or a Soviet Bloc ally.”
Was there anyone in the 80’s – on either side – who didn’t know this?
Yes, I could be court-martialed for revealing this, but they would have to admit that some twit had classified it in the first place. I think my pension is safe.
Orion,
Oh thanks for that one Orion! Now I have to turn you in because I have this knowledge. Do you know the amount of paperwork I have to fill out? Well your lucky, because I hate doing paperwork so your secret is save with me.
But I think NSA’s buddy’s have recored your message and will be contacting your shortly. 
Im just kidding about them contacting you… 
I too seen many documents that where classified SECRET that I thought didn’t need that classification. My shipmates would joke and laugh at many of the classification. Then there where other documents that should have been classified SECRET and weren’t. Many times they where old documents. Sometime there is a date code of when the document was published.
Security was so loose, I thought a Russian spy could just walk up and say, “Hey Im your friendly neighborhood spy and I was wondering if you had any leftover secret documents I can get from you?” “Why sure let me get the round file and see what we have here.”
Now here is something you would find interesting. The recipe file box was classified information and had to be locked up every night. There is good reason for this. Now think about that one for a moment.
__/)__
Makes sense. For example, people protest less about eating bull testicles if their origin is kept secret…OR if there’s a cover-up by calling them “Rocky Montain Oysters.”
Bleech!
Interesting enough, food companies say EXACTLY what our products have, they just use scientific words that obscure the fact that somethings are made with animal fat, OR that LOTS of “juice cocktails” say they are juice, but actually contain mostly corn syrup.
I guess he’ll have to say hi to the Pollards.
Enjoy GITMO.
The upshot of the SECRET Op-plan was the whol thing had to be kept in a safe. Anyone who wanted ( or needed ) to use it had to go through security measures that generally took longer than the actual use of the document. I suggested a Classified addendum for the two classified paragraphs, and the addendum could be kept in a safe, and the rest of the Op-plan could be kept in the open where it could actually be used. Nope, un-do-able.
I attended several UNCLASSIFIED lectures when some stuffed O would interject “well that’s classified, you know” and the lecturer would respond ” my source is Janes Aircraft, which is available worldwide,m and you just confirmed its accuracy.”

If your sister is in to a guy named John and he doesn’t even know about it, that is not love; That is infatuation. There’s a difference between a crush and real love… real love is reciprocated, whereas a crush is usually one-sided. Those who confuse their infatuation with real love usually end up getting a hard lesson in human nature, as the object of their affection will most likely reject them. For instance, if John has not interacted with your sister much, and hasn’t even gone out with her, he might be a little put off by all the interest in him. And, though it may sound a little crude, people need to spend a little time together in bed before they really commit to the whole love thing, at least that’s how a lot of women are (and some men).
Were this a real situation and not a hypothetical one, I would advise your sister to tone down her infatuation and wait to get to know John better before falling head over heels for him. It should also be expressed to John that she ‘likes’ him rather than that she ‘loves’ him. It’s even cool to express that she has a crush on him, though she might not want to come on too strong. Crushes and infatuation are cool (after all, they are very romantic in their own way), but one has to be smart with their crushes else risk losing the object of their desire. Maybe your sister should just seduce John and let him figure it all out in due time. All’s fair in love and war…
As for secrets, I have already (slightly) shared my secret of being a skilled fantasist when it comes to exploring a certain dark corner of human sexuality. Admittedly, it is an open secret, because there is no shame to my game. Still, I won’t go into further detail, as this is not quite the website for such discussions. Peace and love, Errin : )

There is one easy way to define Love;
Love; You would die for Her.
Lust ; You want Her body and sex the hell out of Her.
Friend; You want her body but, She doesn’t think of you like that.
Teacher; You want Her body.

As Chris Rock said.. you haven’t been in love until you’ve contemplated murder!
You don’t really love someone unless you are prepared to allow them the freedom to do something you disapprove of, even if their doing so means that you can never see them again.
Marina , Why not just get a rock and have it chrome plated/ electroplated and just give it a toss, and say there take that you little witch. Then the only question would be witch little witch you would toss. Way i see it you can’t do without the little witches

I not only spanked my kids, I spanked them again if they complained about the punishment, or said I was unfair. We never spanked them without thoroughly explaining why they were being punished and what we expected from them. They never threw tantrums, by the time they could form sentences, and to this day I am always told what great daughters I have. They are mostly grown now and I had no major problems with them, as I thought I would in their teen years. They argue about who’s clothes are whose with each other, but that’s about the worst of it. I know they wouldn’t have turned out so well if we hadn’t of given the tough love. One time when my daughter Asia was 4, she hit her little sister and immediately knew she was in trouble, she she walked over to me and turned around and bent over. That was a tough spanking to give, but I had to be consistent, since we had a rule . I am very close with all three and and they have told me that they are thankful for their upbringing, when they see other kids acting up, and the parents act like it’s out of their hands. I don’t believe in this time out stuff, especially when the child is still allowed to throw a fit. All they do is eventually calm down and then they are set free with no real consequences for the the bad behavior.
Here is my daughter Asia, to put a face with the name.

lol. cool. looks like she’s got some funny stuff. like, “dad playing video games…I am genetically doomed to never grow up”, “my dad is the meanest dad ever.” haha.
P
Dang! I didn’t even know she wrote that!
Did you see her comic on the dream I had? That was word for what really happened.
yeah, seen it. that was funny. dude. “bummed out” … what the hell.
I guess I am not the word smith that she is. I was obviously more than just bummed out.
I spent more than 1/2 hour wrighting a reply & it failed to post LOL.
again (short version) My hat’s off to you geronimo.
They (spankings) are & should never be easy to administer. Your daughter is a “jem”. Nice looking, with character, which doesn’t just happen. Jems are formed, but are valued for their rarity.
“Spanking” is debatable. I agree with you, but I made it a point to never spank when angry. I can count on one hand the number of times I had to do the corporal punishment thing to each of my three kids. The most memorable… having to discipline my only daughter for a temper tantrum & defiance. I was angry, I put her over my lap & hit my own hand, held over her derier, to protect her from my wrath. Funny, she cried more that time & I think it was that one time, that seems to have had the biggest impact on her inappropriate behavior. She is just married now & her new hubby seems to be, like my daughter, very happy.
Sounds like you haven’t grown up yet either…
Yeah, I never said I was mature, just well behaved. (mostly)
you are obviously a devoted & loving dad, ger…
your daughter is awesome – don’t let her go on America’s Got Talent ’cause the Hoff will hit on her…
i’m impressed, really…
the ex & i gave spankings when i was still there – or at least i did; now she grounds them or uses the timeout thing…too late for the 16-yr-old, but my 10-yr-old is the sweetest kid i know…
take care, and thanks for sharing -
tom
Thanks Nudder! My wife and I split up about 5 years ago, but the one thing we always agreed on was how to raise the girls. That makes a huge difference in the eyes of the kids. If the parents don’t agree on that, then they immediately see that the rules are one parents opinion and not written in stone. Kids pick up on these things quickly and will pit one parent against the other if they see the opportunity.
hi marina, your are bright sunny day.
how about the word “JALOPY” as refered to a car.?
Dave
I wrote a long comment, but it won’t let me post it. Any one know why? Is there a word limit?
did you put a few links in it? because with wordpress you have the option to review comments first (if they, for example, contain more than a certain number of links), and then you can permit them to be posted (”moderate” them; in this case it should read “comment is awaiting moderation” right after you were trying to post it.). this helps to prevent spam since spam often contains a lot of links.
It had one link, so I removed it and it still won’t load. I can send these short comments which weird. It won’t even start to load.
Thanks aLx
well, in this case i don’t know why you can’t post it either. :/

Don’t keep the secret, Marina!
Please tell us salty dogs the origin of the word ’snorkel’, the thing which allows us to breathe while just below the water. Snorkeling can be fun!

Here’s an original one. I love Marina. Yeah. I know. There are a thousand comments JUST LIKE THIS ONE. Mum’s the word. Yeah.
i created a word on COD4( a videogame) the word: noobtube i looked my word up and it said:
The name given, by players of the game CoD4, to the assault rifle mounted grenade launcher do to the fact that it is seen as requiring little skill to use and the fact that it is, in fact, a tube.
but what i mean with noobtube is when you watch a noob playing, when you are not in the game( looking trough killcam or spectator) thats what i mend with noobtube, can you make a video cause everybody uses it the wrong way ( i just blurred the word out when i was playing on cod and just saw a video on youTUBE)

All of things made in Japan are awesome and impeccable.
then bring it out of the closet…

I don’t think that a nightstand is a spot where it should be in at night.
Could get funny, fumbling in the dark for a flashlight…

My secret is a Russian one: For five months 1988-1989 my phone in Connecticut was wiretapped by FBI Counter-Intelligence. The reason was that the CIA was managing my protective surveillance (using FBI since I was inside the USA) after the NSA intercepted an intelligence “shopping list” (WITH MY NAME ON IT AND MY BOOK ON HYPERSONICS) transmitted from KGB headquarters “Moscow Centeral” to the KGB station chief in Washington. His name was Alexi Moryakov. I had talked with Alexi once about Soviet hypersonics and I liked him. His “cover” at Washington was “Science attache”. But, in fact, this smart, funny and capable 35 year old was a brigader general in the KGB and station chief for all of North America- from Mexico City to the North Pole! The FBI agent in charge of protecting me asked me if I would help the FBI bust Moryakov. Because of my work at the 1987 Paris Air Show (video director for Aviation Week Magazine) I knew already that things in Eastern Europe were going against the Soviets. And I didn’t think that “decapitating” Soviet intelligence in Washington at that time was smart. So I said no to helping bust the KGB man in Washington (who it turned out had developed traiters in both the FBI (Howard) and CIA (Ames) and was using there betrayal of Russian spies for the USA and this caused the murder of some 20 American spies in the Soviet Union.
I love you Marina (and your work-mates who produce HotForWords) because you are so hard working and nice and happy…and for a Russian woman to have come as far as you is so amazing. Thank you for being you! Ochen Spaceeba, vwi ochen prekasniya devochka! Dzhon

PS: Marina, yesterday I wrote the campaign manager for John McCain and shared with him the one word I shared with Barak Obama’s communications people, when they were in laramie last march.
RESPONSIBILITY.
Politicians don’t use this word! I want leaders who are responsible to the people. What is the origin of the word, Responsible?
PPS: Sorry for spelling mistakes in “my secret” post above. I’ve been writing my novel all day and it’s 1am and I’m burned out!
In case you think I’m making the above up, the FBI told me I was one of the most popular American writers to be published in the Soviet military’s classified compendium of western military science

Hi Marina, im really interested about the word “robot”, i just do know it has something to do with work, but i wanna know more…
… so, umm, thats my word request so i hope you will share my interest and use it in one of your great vids.
thx.
Good word choice, A@ron, as the Russian word for “work” is RABOTIYOU. I would guess that the European origin of the word means “worker”
The word “robot” entered english from a play “R.U.R. Robert’s Universal Robots”.
Umm, ehm…
Thats not exactly what i want to know,,,
Yeh, umm and by the way…
…plz stop telling something just like this to us even its truth or not…
…dont u you realise ure just ruining her job?

Hi Marina, I have always wondered how the word “dork” made its way into English slang. I believe that the original meaning came refers the male anatomy, but now it is more commonly used to describe a silly person. Thanks!
Here’s are my 3 secrets what I love about any female to my liking more than tits 1.asses except 2 big, 2. sexy tongues moving in any direction and 3. love juice which makes me thirsty. I hope my secrets does not creep anybody out.
I would tell you a secret Marina… Only that I don’t have any secret even remotly intresting enough, except some work related buggers, but those are classefied information and could get me fired
Best wishes, Ath, tired after a night at work.
What is the origin of the number 13 being unlucky?

Dear HotForWords,
Hi there, I stumbled across your youtube a few weeks back, and have been slowly catching up on the course material.
I wish to present a request for a small trio of associated words, one of which you have allready done.
The words in question are:
“Geek (which you have done), Dork, and Nerd”.
I think a comparison of the similarities and differences of these three words would make an interesting topic. Unless I’m mistaken I believe Nerd has an interesting origin as well
I’d also like to second michaellydon’s request below for Cantankerous, I know the usage, but I’d love to know what the origins are.

I just read a funny thing on this site. Over to the right in the recent posts is a article about Teachers Assistant Captain Jack Sandwich . I guess he had to change his last name. wha wha wha
prolly tuna…
hm. if she posted a comment on the loo lesson, it would read “marina on the loo” in the recent comments column.
here’s a pic to go with it.
Alx do you know what happened to HotForWordsFan club and the little rug rat?
Only you would find something like that.
Hey it was right there I couldn’t miss it. Take a look at the comment Alx left me. Look at the pic he left it is cool.
tuna? holy mackerel!
who let me back in here??!!
Welcome back
I see you let post around to see if Marina
was going to yell it me before you jumped in.
Yeah, I missed you guys, too
(you are a guy, right? LMAO)
no idea what happened to them. you know, i’ve been hanging around in chats for ages. sometimes they’d change the appearance or something, and a lot of people are like, this sucks, i’m not gonna come around here no more. well … they always come back.
I never went anywhere aLx,
I just stopped being a butt head fighting with the great unwashed.
You can be as big an ass as you like.
You won’t get a reaction from me.
” I’ll not say another thing.” That is all I said…
your in good company aLx
Hmwk: sshhhh It was me…sshhhh
I knew it was you.. who else?! It certainly wasn’t Shaggy!
but ok, I’ll keep it on the low-low, sshhhh!
4 now, right?…
I’m gona tell na na na na na
What does the term “Fuel to the Fire” mean??? I heard it in a magizine or a television show before and it stuck out..
toss some gas on a fire…you’ll figure it out…
I was thinking today….why is it since I was young i was told “not to put my elbows on the table” why is this rude???
and why are we told never to put our elbows on the table.
That is a good one Nicky. I was told the same thing when I was younger.
Keep your elbows off the table while eating. It can interfere with the person seated next to you.
I have had that happen to me once… but really I don’t know why it is regarded as a must in the Book`o`Manners. I believe it goes back to archaic versions of tables, where if you put your elbows on it, you’d tip the balance of the table.
I know you didn’t want me to answer, but hey, maybe Marina will get back to you, maybe not. So take what you can get, if your mind truly hungers knowledge.
All the best,
Chemikal
Me too. My sister now asks me to put my elbows on the table just to rebel from past rules our parents put on us. Yet I still find myself remembering to take them off.
Good question! Makes me wonder
how eating my brussels spouts
keeps people in China from starving…
Nice vid.
Secret: You look h**,…….I drove more than 10 times without a ticket in a train
, I drove with 120 km/h throught the town once 
, I lied to the police twice 
, when we were in Italy the Italian gurlies made sort of a woman out of me and a friend, with make up and some fruits 
, the rest I won´t tell, sorry (I can´t tell real secrets, so I took some funny ones).
hey tedt, are you Romanian by any chance? =))

good vid. during 2nd world war britain there was a poster campaign which read “keep mum, she’s not so dumb” with a female in the background, indicating that a person who overhears your conversation may be a spy.
The Secret
Hmmm a secret? Oh no…!! Curiosity killed the cat!!
Hmmm… Wait a second…
Curiosity killed the cat? Where does that come from?
schrodinger’s cat. . . he put a cat in a box with an unstable mixture of lethal chemcals. there was a 50/50 chance the chemicals would react and kill the cat. . . . however. . the cat was proven to be neither dead nor alive until someone opened the box and looked in, therefore curiosity killed the cat! this was a genuine scientific experiment so there is probably a more in-depth/accurate explanation on the net somewhere.
Heh, that was supposed to be my request for Marina, not you little frog :p
lethal chemikalz. I liked that!
Schrödinger’s cat, is a THOUGHT experiment devised by Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger in 1935. Thought experiments are just that. Not a experiment carried out in real life. This was just a method to explain how subatomic particles might react.
Schrödinger’s thought experiment was intended as a discussion of the EPR article, named after its authors: Albert Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen in 1935. The EPR article had highlighted the strange nature of quantum superpositions. Bro adly stated, a quantum superposition is the combination of all the possible states of a system (for example, the possible positions of a subatomic particle). The Copenhagen interpretation implies that the superposition only undergoes collapse into a definite state at the exact moment of quantum measurement.
So in simple terms there is no way to see if the cat is alive or dead without having to open the box. Opening the box is the same as making a measurement. It’s a catch 22. (Hey Marina! Where did catch 22 come from?)
For further information, Look up the double slit experiment and you will find evidence of superposition. There is a DVD called “Down the Rabbit Hole” that has some good example of what superposition would look like. There is even good examples of the double slit experiment.
satisfaction brought it back
(so how do you satisfy a cat?)
oh wait. I’m still a FISH!
I knew it was one of them, but I thought it was nine lives brought him back, but you are right
“I talk through my hat” but I don’t “tell tales out of school”.
Please explain the origin of the word, Traitor. My wife is from the former Soviet Republic of Georgia and had never heard of it. She understands fluent Russian, has a MA in Turkish, and speaks Greek, Hebrew, Arabic, and Farsi, but her English is terrible. However, I did get her to join HotForWords and she now has WhiteSmoke.
Thats one wordsy lady! I commend her efforts on learning so many words, but now… it’s your responsibility to help her understand what Marina is saying, so she will get the “bug” as well. Once she’s hooked, her English will improve on a daily basis.
Marina has that effect on people. I’m speaking from personal experience!
I have a secret : I temporarily break my brothers computer just so he cant use the internet
I’ve requested this before, but il try again
:):)
Can you do the word Aegis?
whaaaaaaaaay??
(
why do a thing like that? I really feel for the poor kid
Hes not a poor kid lol, hes 18. Plus, he gets virus’ on the network and downloads illegal things!
I dont do it much….
Ah then serves him right!
Sorry new_rez I thought you were just being mean. You know, like brothers usually are.
Well, i am mean some of the time. Its my job as an older brother
please do “that’s a wrap”
WORD REQUEST:
Constitution
Just a second here. I have secrets like anyone else, but once someone else knows it, it’s no longer a secret by definition, right? I mean, I’ve heard the phrase “hide it in plain sight” before, but honestly, Marina, how can one expect people leave their secrets in a public place? I think we both know it’s pretty difficult to keep something private a secret once it’s posted on the net. Just ask Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee! But I digress. Since this is my homework, I guess I have to turn something in…..
So here’s my secret: (I’m not wearing any underwear!) Now DON’T tell anyone!!!!
oh…you going on a commando mission?…
annudder
This was cover in Detruncus.
FMTYEWTK
Vanessa Paradis has some nice lizard moves… tres chic!
No tongue stud for her (get caught in her teeth!)
Man that is a horrible thought. egad and shazam
I know, but nobody heard me because I put it in parentheses.
u mean shazz-butt?…
if you trust Marina with your secret, then we’re just as trustworthy, being her students we have to stick together.
Way tooooo much information PT9. LOL…..
Hey you said you can keep a secret. But you’ve just told us your sister’s secret…. so what’s the word ? It certainly isn’t mum!
It’s blab
i thinked your sister must’ve mumbled…she really said, “Tom”…but i didn’t know they had hired her where i work…(-;
as for the homework, sorry, gentlemen don’t tell secrets, and despite some contrary opinions, i do try to be a gentleman…
okay, one not-so-secret: i think you are cool beans (now when did that phrase come about?)…if you had a older man complex, i’d be complex enough for you…
but the queue is staggering, i’m sure…
annudder
No, No!!
It’s war I tell you, War..
Mine, Mine, Mine…
We should form a Marina admiration society.
this is the Marina Admiration Society….
so…. is MAS still recruiting or what?
Must be a gentleman to join? Oh, I didn’t know, nevermind then!
Who wanted to be called a MAS-ist anyway?
As Felicity said once this is Marinaville.
We are all Marinavillians 
i say we have a social…
then we can all goo to MASS…
Hey someone has to take on S.O.U.P. before you can form a new society. Its in the rules! Look them up. *snicker…teh he*
I am no ass kisser, but I think you are one fine gentleman.
ty…now, can someone explained what i “thinked”?…
your a gentleman, but your thoughts, are criminal
[some random song lyrics]
i’m like Jimmy Carter…i lust in my heart…
and sometimes my heart speaks out…
cool beans
haven’t heard that in awhile
just staggering up to the queue
it’s my first day, again
I woke up deneuralyzed,
(wearing a mailman’s uniform?)
My secret is why I’m late for class. Sorry
I would tell you but excuses are like aholes…. everybody has one
and some are better than others
and excuses only satisfy the person making them.
Good, now I know why my excuses always stink…
Thx smokey36bear!
Dear Marina, I rated your video five stars. You look good in a black T-shirt. Also, videos from your bed look much nicer than videos with your kitchen in the background. For your homework, here is a secret: Your sister feels love for a co-worker named “John.” Oh, that’s the secret you told us. Well, since I mentioned “kitchen”, here is another secret: The “eleven secret herbs and spices” used to make Kentucky Fried Chicken are:
Rosemary
Oregano leaves
Powdered sage
Powdered ginger
Marjoram
Thyme
Brown sugar
Dry minced parsely
Pepper
Paprika
Garlic salt
Onion salt
Powder chicken bouillon
Lipton tomato cup-a-soup mix
The above are in small amounts. The main ingredients they use are flower, salt, pepper, and MSG. Then they deep fry it, so it definitely is not a healthy food for us.
I hope you hear many secrets about which girl is in love with which boy. Your dear student, Seesix CM6
the real secret is that all the chicken goes in the pot,
even if it’s hit the floor once or twice!

You’re really cute, but shhh, don’t tell anyone! haha
I have you over a barrel, the shaun!
What am I talking about?! Oh yes, I guess I’m making another request.
Oh thank you Shaun for the kind compliment. You are just so cute yourself.
So Marina, are you telling us you are going to be on Billy’s show July 30th ?
I did some mean things growing up, but I can’t even mention them on here.
True, true.
Don’t even try it… there are small children watching this show, don’t give them any ideas!
*yea right*
I am not but 10.
I have a couple of word/phrase requests… weird animal ones.
I’ve heard this phrase many times…
“straight from the horses mouth”
meaning straight from the source, or “fresh” but, what comes out of a horses mouth that’s so pure?
As well, I was watching a movie on the history channel, and I was wonder why plane battles are called “dogfights”
Thanks marina!
“As well, I was watching a movie on the history channel, and I was wonder why plane battles are called “dogfights” ”
I just wanted to ask the same after watching this mini film on the history channel
Ask Snoopie from Peanuts.
Hahaha. omg I remember Snoopy’s flights. I loved those in the cartoons!
SECRETIONS+ It is all Greek to me
My secret is what does “phelia” pronounced ! mum you are soul bright 
I still haven’t quite got that figgered out…
Is a phelia the opposite of a phobia?
MARINA,since you’re Russian like me i know that you can keep secret like nobody else…so i have to reveal a secret i’ve never revealed…about ten years ago i really did something evil…i confess it since there were in the same place on the ALPS where i was spending my holidays some mean people who hated me without a precise reason i decide to do something mean: i reached at night with some sheperds of the those small villages the places where the were at camp and we started to do some eerie noises…you can imagine that….the place was so gloomy at night…but then since they left their shoes out of their tents we decided to take all of them away with us to the town
the camping place was something like four or five hours walk from the main road….in those years few people had mobile phones…then the following morning i even decided to hang their shoes at the playground of the main town where they left and i wrote ..gentlemen,voilà ..here you can admire and have back your shoes…that’s the worst thing i’ve ever done,i confess and repent but i was too young and stupid 
barefoot into the wild….
That was a good one, I bet they didn’t pick on you anymore.
Dear Misha,they didn’t pick on me anymore because actually i did not see them walking for quite a looong time..
i really don’t know whether someone else could have been as evil as i have that time 
….
Here’s a secret for you: Instead of working this morning I went mountain biking and told everyone I was working from home.
I did exactly the same 3 weeks ago
,I quit that job anyway ,so everyone can know 
even my horrible ex boss
“so everyone can know
even my horrible ex boss”
Ah, does he still think your working from home?
dude, your going down hill.
Only the hills I climb first. Good old midwestern punishment…
ah Ah AH!!! NOOOOOOO!!!!!
Sister Words is taken!!!
