Phrase request: [cold turkey] is used to mean to suddenly give something up, like drinking, smoking – i.e – “I’m going cold turkey with cigarettes today”… how did “cold turkey” come to mean giving something up??
Hello Marina,
That was very nice of you to make a show and dedicate it to John John. I’m sure he loved it.
Homework- always tell a friend if they have one hanging out.
Dear teacher,
This one was really excellent. Something really original like the halloween one. Sometimes it is always to have these kind of lesson, children questions are the most interesting !
Is it possible to have the origin of the words beyond and bootleg?
Amicalement,
Old Don Felipe
I got a couple of things. I was wondering where the origin of “roentgenism”. I also have been referred to as a “red headed step-child” and a “ginger” a lot becuase of my hair but I can’t find the origins to those either. Thanks for reading this.
Gee I thought I would wake to a whole new video.
The booger climb has been tougher than pulling teeth and killing dead horses.
Hopefully we can blow our nose shortly to a new lesson.

Marina did a word game lesson on panties
but the links are telling me I can’t “edit” them, WTF?
top of the page, second pulldown menu, far left
button “words /lessons”. Try again, later,
it’s broken. rough weekend. rowdies trashed the place
phew! stunk it up, too.
Some folks rise to an occasion and
show intelligence and creativity.
Some folks are just hoping to
“get ahead” by attrition, lacking
any real ability to be creative or
useful. Thanks for screwing up a
good weekend, guys.
aLx? the effitist pseudo head
games you and Buzzword play
are “the shit” Ooooh I am so
goddamn impressed! SNOT!
Your ama-zing! fucking clowns…
Roadrunmch? Looks like you’ve
escalated your status. You’re no
no longer just an “attention whore”.
You’ve proved you’re “the man” so
what’s YOUR fucking plan, now?
Teacher’s pet?
Marina, these boys need a good
game to play – theirs all suck ass.
apologies for ruining your weekend. i didn’t know your mood depends on what is said on this site. i’ll take it into consideration and contemplate the content of my comments prior to posting regarding the question of whether or not my comment will be humble enough to find your approval.
my inferior state of mind disallows me to even recognize the heights your brain probably floats around in.
i apparently epically failed in my attempt to impress you, or even meet the standards necessary to not be perceived as a clown by you.
i do hope, sir, that you will graciously accept my apologies for insulting your intelligence. in awe i bow before your wisdom, oh great master.
more effitist babble – fuck off, arsehole!
cynical snotwad – incapable of owning
your mistakes, compounding them even
further. You should drink some bleach!
get rid of the dark stains in the toilets
of your mind…apologize to me…?
don’t want it or need it from you.
Apologize to Marina, not me…
only TRY to act sincere, since your
obviousl snot.
I wish I knew what had everyone’s panties in a bunch these days.
Is there anything that anyone can possibly say here, from one random icon to another, that warrants getting angry about?
Seriously – melikadothechacha – whatever anyone said to whomever, what’s the difference. We’re all miles away each other and acting under randomly chosen “handles.” I’m not sure what could warrant that post above.
I have a request for a word, well actually phrase, I would like to know where the term “Kansas city shuffle” originates from. I heard it in the movie Lucky Number Slevin. If you could help me out, it would be great.
Marina, how did “bugger” come to mean “sodomize” in the British version of English? BTW Marina, did you know that on Youtube they have an ad/banner running over top of your words when they are printed out on the screen making them hard if not impossible to see? I don’t care when “House Bunny” appears in theaters, I want to see your lesson without the ads! Проклятые капиталисты!
Why can’t people just leave this alone. RRR you can kiss my ass. And your very right you have pissed me off royally again. One minute your on my side then the next your condemning me. Why you have to keep dredging up something now that is very touchy and a sore subject is beyond me unless it’s your thing in life is to cause problems between people and keep turmoil stirred up on Marina’s site. I told Bob I was going to be cool about the rest of this, but I have taken all I am going to. Every time I read through the comments I find a new comment or thread about what happened yesterday. Marina and myself have made amends so we thought now everything will settle down and be normal. No you are starting another flame war that is going to be the end of me not you. You will continue to harass and belittle these people with you satirical ways. Sorry Bob I can take only so much. And no RRR everyone around me doesn’t have to walk on eggshells. And no RRR I don’t no if I caused Marina to cry or not if I did then I would do anything for it not to of happened. We didn’t discuss that in our e-mails to each other this morning. So I hope you are happy with your self for keeping this going another day and night.
@ Marina you can edit me out of your video as teachers pet or what ever. As long as people like RRR are on this site then I will not be.
Capman
As you yourself see the pattern in your actions.
(( MISUNDERSTANDING.))
You’re a loose cannon, You hurt people that mean you no harm. Your friends for the most part. And then you expect others to understand your feelings.
Would you slap your Wife and then make Her apologize to you for making you hit Her? That is what you did with Marina.
She at most was just trying to show others that read the posts here that, She does not think it is funny to mix sex with children. It is Her image that is hurt if people think, Hotforwords LLC. is rude and crude and treat children badly.
I’ve got no problem with you, You are no threat to Me. Attack Me all you like. I love to fight. No one else here wants to fight with you. They all just want to be your friend and get along. Remember that before you Hit first then apologize……. again. OK?
Mike; You’ve got to be kidding…in No Way should you leave now. It’s been clearly stated & resolved the proprietress of this site wrote emphatically that she would be bummed if you left. Just to let you know that when I first read BOTH comments I thought one was a little too risque and the other was too harsh (guess which was which), but I’ve been both on this site with a good chance of repetition. So what? If you leave over this I guaranty some a-hole is standing-by ready to take your place & that is not good for anyone, nor is it good for HFW–and that would (then) truely be something hurtful.
Capman
OK then I tried to point out that Your a hitter and then apologizing ego maniac. so I can kiss your ass? Does everyone you know tremble when you walk by? I am not one. So stop now. This you being an asshole and me pointing it out. I am not like Bob and I will not placate you and try to calm you down so if it a show down you need, you found another maniac to give it to you. Or you can stop BEING a Bully and admit you are a hot head and over reacted and hurt someone who meant you no ill.
Your choice friend?
RRR, what part of “water under the bridge” do you not understand? Every thing is just peachy between them. Now you want too keep digging up the dead horse and showing everyone that the horse is dead and searching for someone to blame. Please leave it buried. It wasn’t a real horse anyways. It was a small chocolate covered horse (you know like the chocolate covered bunny you can buy in spring time) that was dropped on to a dirty floor. Thankfully no one was hurt. We where sadden from the loss of good chocolate. Since it was very tasty chocolate (fit for a queen) and we didn’t want anyone get sick from it, we had to give it a proper burial. So let it be just water under the bridge. Don’t utter another word about this chocolate horse. Ok? Thanks.
Well Captjack
This is not the first time Capman has blown off. He is an abusive man.
He thrashes out at any little thing and expects others to UNderstand His problem, His temper. It is always His feelings that matter.
He’s attacked Me on another time for an MISunderstanding and others too. Now, He’s attacked Marina for another misunderstanding and expect Us to understand him……… Again.!!
NO ………No more it stops now! He is not a nice guy! He is a Bully and the way to treat a Bully is to stand up to him and say NO more…….!!!
I’ll go away and not say another thing about it fine, But let it be known that I stood up to Him and next time He blows it will be up to YOU to stand up to Him and say .
NO MORE!!
NO MORE!!
ps
Chocolate horse …..really??
RRR I don’t know how you can call me an abusive man and a bully. The misunderstanding you and I had was just that a misunderstanding. I didn’t understand your tone at the time nor did I under stand the format on how you comment to others. The only other misunderstanding I have had with anyone was Argon. I misunderstood that he was making a bad comment towards the people on this site and it was the utube site he was referring to.. I was only taking up for people on the site. How do I thrash out at ever little thing? I think I am a very passive person compared to others that comment on here. If I did make a wrong statement then yes I would apologize for it, I am man enough to admit when I am wrong. I would like to get this resolved between us so it doesn’t keep escalating.
I agree with you. I did not mean to jump Marina. But I did. I can’t take that back. But I tried to show how sorry I was and yes I am a sorry person for doing that to her. In our emails to each other she explained that she thought that would be the proper response to my comment as she said that if we were standing side by side and I made that comment then she would say the same thing and we would both laugh about it. I agree with her response. I see now that she should have never backed down and apologized back to me. I should have been sent an email from her telling me that was not a proper conduct to take. But she has a very big heart as you know. So all I can do now is except the consequences of my behavior and move on so I don’t cause any more problems for her site. Thanks for the chiding we all need to be put in our place now and then. Hot headed yes but I don’t think I am a bully or troublemaker.
I agree, and i apologize if I’m over stepping my bounds. I think everyone should let it go. What is done is done. This is only between Marina and Capman. All people like RRR, and myself (now) are just riding the coat tails of things that don’t matter anymore.
darn – I’ve been trying to find the fireworks that everyone is talking about. I’d really like to see what someone said that was so hurtful and got some of you so pissed off.
Capman
Stop it already …ok?
I am not playing anymore, you’re not going to get me to apologize to you and make nice. But…You do not need to leave, just stop being a hard ass. Just treat others the way you want to be treated, that’s all.
Just drop it.
I found an interesting site which hopefully will give you a laugh, as well as a little insight into online behaviors. Click the “begin” or go through the list… oh & have fun with it, but don’t share it. Flame Warriors
yeah I’m fairly new to this online conversation stuff & it is a funny site.
but the tendencies I exhibit here at hotforwords forum are different than how I would act at, say, a political forum, or even a so called christian forum. Here I can be a little more, ah, just me, and I guess a little more vulnerable, which here, is OK…I hope.
we all belong to various social groups and modify our behavior to function effectively in them. we all do it, belonging to several communities is beneficial to health and survival. there is a theory in psychology called bronfenbrenner’s ecological theory of development. that explores these various communities one belongs to and how it influences human development.
Man, that was on hell of a reading assignment, Billy B. The brevity of your comment was inversely proportional to the information overload contained in the link! Funny stuff, though. It’s nice to see what some of my classmates look like after all this time. But I didn’t see any deadmen in there, so it must still be a work in progress or some such.
I think it’s VERY SWEET that Marina decided to do something nice for JohnJohn Childhood is a special time and is 80 times cooler when adults take the time to make fun too
When I was just a boy growing up we had a Shetland pony who was mean as thunder that effectively dissuaded my enthusiasm for horses. However later on at our ranch dad bred and raised horses mainly for my sisters to ride we had 5 horses eventually all from the same mare, (including her of course). As to your question i found that video while researching and it seemed appropriate based upon your avatar. (luckyvision i suppose, glad you like )
no clique. these guys are anarchists.
leave ‘em alone long enough and
they’ll eat each other.

What a downer! No new video today! (Not yet, anyway.) Plus, bad feelings over so small a question as “Why would I think that?” I’m glad things are resolved, now. I hope Marina didn’t get so concerned that she couldn’t edit a video for release, today. I also hope Marina gets better word requests than many of the crude ones, or limited-interest ones that I’ve seen. All I ever asked for was “Sweetheart” and I already looked it up for myself. (Many of you could look up your own words, too.)
Seesixcm6
Buzz I have read a lot of your comments. I don’t know what you are taking in school, or what you are aspiring to be “ie lawyer, professor, school teacher or something along that profession, but it is very enlightening to read your comments because I learn something by every one of them. You retain knowledge like a sponge. You and Alx make a lot of sense in the way and how you give your reply’s. I am not kissing arse I am just giving credit where credit is due.
PS. Alx wouldn’t let me cry on his shoulder either.
If you look her video just made page 2 and is # 39. She’ll post when it gets around somewhere near #24.
I think its cool that she looks up what you call crude words. You won’t see a normal school teacher look those words up. She is making video lessons of words no one else has the guts to do. And she does them very eloquently.
Yes I look up my own words sometimes too. I even purchase my own books, instead of using the internet all the time. My most recent purchase was The Oxford Companion To Ships & the Sea – 1976 ED. Worth about $100.00 dollars.
I don’t know if you have seen, but in earlier posts I have mentioned that my parents have the only set (outside of libraries) in the state of a dictionary that has at least 26 volumes. Sometimes I go to their house and look up stuff just for laughs, yet it still doesn’t compare to the knowedge or enjoyment of learning from of our beloved teacher, Miss. Marina
Smokey, Wow that must be cool. My dad had this cool collection of encyclopedias which I was always sticking my nose into. Mostly because I was grounded for most of my young life. I remember seeing this illustration of a flying fish. I thought it was fictitious but then one day when I was sailing around the world on the USS Missouri, a flying fish made it to the main deck. I could not believe my eyes. This was the same fish I had research when I was little.
Yes I enjoy Marina’s lessons. I always waiting for the next one. Its like eating the next meal. It satisfies your hunger for the time being but if you miss one you get very hungry for that next meal.
QUEUE is a French word and means TAIL.
The old-french word was COUE and today a little COUE is a COUETTE meaning differently “bunch of hair” or “quilt”.
The French QUEUE alias COUE comes from the Latin CAUDA = TAIL
What a yummy topic. Dead boogers provided many a fellow student with an endless source of food, and nutrition. I remember alot of kids that eat their boogers. I like raw boogers the ones that aren’t dried.
I guess a remnant left over from the time the head mistress of the school took me out of class, and down the hall pulled down my pants and put me over her knee and spanked my bottom with her bare hand , then took me back to class.
Actually ‘57, I only wish the school head mistress was as good looking as marina.. I would have forgot about the boogers, and only remembered the knockers.
The misunderstanding between Marina and myself has hopefully been resolved. Like BillyB stated I have a short fuse and I will admit it. I do my best not to let things get under my skin, but I just loose control on occasion. Sometimes I don’t know how to take some of the comments or their meanings that are put to me. Each person here has a different type of humor. Most I understand some I just let slide until the one comes up I take offense at. That happened yesterday and to the one person I never ever wanted to offend, and I did. I said I wasn’t going to apologize for what I said but I am and I hope Marina will accept it. It seems I have been doing this a lot apologizing for one thing or another ever since I joined this group of amazing people. Sorry I can’t help my attitude, but it is a part of me.
Glad you’re still here, Mike.
Remember what I told you before about choice?
Take some time to reflect on what you have learned today, and WRITE IT DOWN.
Then, next time you feel like exploding, READ IT before you do anything.
You’ll find that it will stretch the fuse.
You CAN change if you want to.
Uncle Bob.
Well sorry to disappoint you Bob, but wetsuit has opened his mouth after everything was over with and I am going to fill it with my rebuttal. I am still not quite cooled off and then have him comment to Marina about how she oh never mind.
Capman
Given the strong chance of pissing you off again, I too thought about it and it was your short temper and your need to attack first and think later that started all of this. again?. You attacked Marina….and yet She apologizes?
Does everyone you know walk on egg shells around you. Are you such a hot head that if anyone crosses you you blow off and take no prisoners. lashing out at everyone.
You OVER reacted and worse you broke Marinas heart and it would not surprise me if you even made Her cry.
I said I would not be the hitter anymore, but no one else is going to call you on it then as another old war horse I will. Ok ??
For the ones of you that are going to call me to the carpet, stop and think , Was He just misunderstood ( like me ) or did he over react.
And hurt Marina.?
And I did apologize to Her for being a hitter and a flamer and have I not been much better?.
RRR, your not privy to the facts. Both parties, including I was making a jokes and there was some confusion. All is better now. Like she said its water under the bridge now. Things are good. Time to move on.
Thank you buzzy
I was trying to be nicer and sweeter and for me that was, I thought. But for you to notice that I was softer and not just being a flame thrower is good….right?
this issue has not been resolved. i think the source of this problem is this john john kid, little shit, he is obviously a trouble maker and should be placed in time out immediately for causing so much trouble.
nothing wrong? he said b##ger and now this whole website has all gone to hell. things are all fucked up because of this john john kid. i don’t trust him, he’s up to something. probably stealing cookies out of a cookie jar right now.
my kid says he knows this john john kid and he’s nothing but trouble. worst kid on the block, cats have been coming up missing and i think john john’s behind it all.
No need to apologize Capman911! What’s funny is that I recorded your name in a teacher’s pet clip after the event… so I really hadn’t thought anything of it until I later realized there had been some misinterpretations going on!
So.. it’s water under the bridge (hmm.. wonder where that expression comes from?).. and keep an eye out for yourself as my teacher’s pet in an upcoming video
Marina, where does the the expression “keep an eye out for you” come from? Wouldn’t taking an eye out be painful as Hell?! And if you are looking out for somebody, couldn’t you do a better job with two eyes instead of one? Is this expression peculiar to America or does it exist in Russia too?
Captain, If you get picked at a Teacher Pet I’ll have to kick you out SOUP. Oh wait… I think I had to kick myself out. damn! Now who’s going to take over?
Sniperskaya, I heard the term “keep a weather eye out”
Weather eye, as most sailors have two eyes, the simple way of making sure someone was looking out for any adverse weather conditions was to have him keep one eye open on the weather side of the ship. — From the book “With a pinch of salt” which is a book I don’t trust because it lacks references and I have proven some things to be false.
Weather eye from Salty Dog talk – Keep a good watch. It took and extra effort for the lookout to train his eye on the weather side of the ship as it would mean his having to face the wind, the spray, and the rain. From the weather side however, always came the first sign of a change (in the weather).
I don’t have any other reference that address whether or not if this is a true origin or not. Looks like a job for Super Philologist.
Marina, I seen a children’s TV show (don’t ask me why I was watching it) that was teaching children what this phase meant. The showed examples of how to use the phrase. It would be interesting to find out the etymology of this word.
well, it wasn’t my intention to satisfy your homoerotic fantasies annudermale. i don’t think aLx is into that, but if your into gay german hardcore i’m sure there are some online opportunities for you. good luck with your developing sexuality.
annudermale, yeah i see what you mean about my choice of words, i could have said that better, sure aLx would agree. no need to apologize, i will for my hard core response to you, it wasn’t necessary.
That’s the point!
It’s a waste of time to play

hmmm…..
I thought I had road kill recipe book somewhere here.
PT, do you play cards with other dead people or you just shoot the shit? Do you find other dead people boring to talk to? I was just thinking them all just lying around there not doing a damn thing. Being a dead person sound boring. I don’t think I will ever try dieing. I heard people are dieing to get dead. Sound like there might be long lines for that.

when the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace
Don’t ass u me that I said Marina isn’t sexy, she most definitley is, but the definition of sex symbol would be a person’s Image or persona… that which is peceived. HFW has carved out a unique representation & is ever changing, growing , morphing…whatever you want to call it.
Marina is a person, with a soul & you can make all the assumtions you want about her, but don’t believe that your fantasies reflect the real person behind the HFW persona.
I’m not unhappy I just don’t use the emo things that much. hehe
Got to go wash the car now (dirty after camping {true}) I didn’t get to go though
So then sexy women are not smart,
Smart women are not sex symbols?
Is Perris is not a person with a soul and or smart?
Are you trying to prove me wrong or that you are a hypocrite? (( ))
Marina is or is not ……….like anyone knows. not sure She knows.
Hey got you email. I was a little inaccurate before, saying that we have souls. We are souls, we have bodies, is the way it makes sense to me. Actually most sexy women are smart. Pam Anderson grew up on our Island & is from a very “normal”, for this area, family… with a daddy that would kill for her & has threatened paparazzi etc. She knows what persona she has portrayed & plays it up big time. Her dad & I probably would agree that it isn’t the safest thing she could do. She has made mistakes & continues to, but there is no denying her desire to be in charge of her own future. Heard her interviewed on CBC Radio last weekend, she is ambitious. “Paris” as in the heiress, is who I assume you meant, another soul who may or may not survive the antics of her youth, by grace she has made it thus far & knows full well (I hope) what people say about her, but she seems to care as much about appearing, as appearing intelligent.
I’ve always wondered what is meant by sex symbol & not to start an argument about semantics but doesn’t it, (sex symbol) originate in the head of the one who has made the object (persona) a symbol for their desire or what ever you want to call it … possibly lust or something close to it. A symbol is symbolic only to the one who gives it significance.(An olive branch is a symbol of peace, it is not peace, to some it is just a stick) Can you not, even at your age appreciate the privilege of being invited to someone’s place, even if others think of them as a sex symbol, without ogling or staring or being rude even. I’ m not angry or trying to sh#t on you, but you are like my mom, in a way. If there is a deposit left on the lawn by a wee k9 friend, she will poke it to see if it stinks and as everyone knows, it can’t be left alone I appreciate your unique personality & I think you said before you would want your own daughters treated with respect or you would go apeshyte or something like that
I’ll admit to a certain amount of hypocrisy as long as you consider it honest hypocrisy, as it seems at times to dominate me, I fight it with feeble weapons of my own & some prayer. As far as proving you wrong, you know far more than you let on & I would get terribly confused if the point of my life was to prove people wrong.
enough outa me I’m back too work, thanks for the insanity break. I got no emo on that one.
WOW
A lot of wind to blow out a candel…?
[Can you not, even at your age appreciate the privilege of being invited to someone’s place, even if others think of them as a sex symbol, without ogling or staring or being rude even.
???????????????????????
You lost me for the most part of you diatribe but are you accusing me of being a ogler or sycophant something whatsoever. ??
But as for not being young enough to know it all, You’re right.
And when you grow up and don’t know it all anymore you can be the stupid old guy……..too. if you’re lucky.
STUPID
I’ve heard the word originated from a Mr. Stuart Pid in London, but surely Stu couldn’t have made the word, STUPID, as popular as it has become.
Please tell me more about the word STUPID and how it grew beyond Stu Pid into a word we all love to use in rush hour traffic and other similar situations where we just wish someone would shut-up or get out of our way.
I think Bob is just saying that it sucks when the computer automatically includes things AFTER the link as part of the link, INSTEAD of allowing you to put in the link, then to make further comment. Like you did the first 2 times.
Stokes, next time you need to post a page from TFD, just scroll down to the bottom of the page and there is a hyper link preformatted so you can just copy paste. I have been searching the net for a stable plugin that will make this a bit easier.

Would you really watch Hilary Clinton do the origin of BOOGER?
Hell Buzzed,
If Hilary looked like Marina, I be a tree hugging, give it all to the poor and lazy, Planet warming sycophants like the rest of the brainless Hilary loving zombies……….TOO <–smiley
Marina’s response the first time was not inappropriate at all. C9 took it wrong & flipped a switch. Guys cannot tell women how to react to what they say, most guys deal with the reaction not even caring about the result. Capman cares but has a short fuse. I Say, let him cool his heels & heal his cool. He is a big guy.
Look at the crap that is said to the boss on Youtube & here, she is very gracious & even if Cman was serious, he can deal with a blow to the ego, at our age you learn most dignity is false anyways. My wife, a very properly raised woman, when in the midst of childbearing found all kinds of new things to call me What really surprised me was that after the first kid , she wanted more?
Before I get too off topic (already am) Marina is a person, not a sex symbol. HFW breaks down the stereotype of a sex symbol. I don’t take lightly what I read here, but I try not to take or give anything to personaly, as you know RRR it can be & is very often misunderstood.
So if you think I hate you RRR, go ahead think that, but I don’t. So take that as a “I find it hard to repect your opinion” because you are so hard to understand sometimes… but I do repect you & your right to say what’s on your mind as long as you respect your hostess.

roadrunmch, you only consider the opinions of attractive women and you ignore the opinions of unattractive women. is that what your saying? i don’t know what your concept of attractiveness is, but i assume hillary clinton is your example of an unattractive women. so, unattractive women do not have anything to say that you would bother paying attention to? are you that attracted to the men you bother paying attention to? just trying to understand, just me i guess, but you rarely make much sense, perhaps your satire is too sophisticated or maybe your just unattractive. but weren’t you just complaining about how shallow paris hilton is?
DÉPRECIATION is French = loss of price, like for an aging bad car.
The root is PRIX = PRICE = ЦЕНА
Я бы сказал DEPRECIATION = ОБЕСЦЕНИВАНИЕ
The notion of PRICE is WORTH in Germanique but the very word PRICE is taken from Latin like in any Germanic language.
I love the way you pronounce the word “marriage” in your interview with Bill O’Reilly….. could you give us the origin of it? Thanks… Love your videos and site!!
MONEY is from Latin MONETA “Goddess of Memory” because the coins in Ancient Rome were made nearby her statue.
DOLLAR is from Germanic TALER “money made nearby a place called TAL “the dale, the valley”.

Hey
I was wondering if you could find out where the word “luck” has originated from. I’m fascinated how different people have different interpretations of the word, especially in sport.. people use the word when something really unpredictable happens. Was there a guy called luck, that did lucky things?haha i dont know..
thanks nickshand x

Maybe is a typo, but, people use to say that they “Give someone a lesson, saying OWNED, and the same but harder or better is the PWND, but why P? Why P make this better, maybe is as buzzword says, “Previously owned”, looks like, dunno.
pwn, pwnd is not a typo. It was crafted in the BBS days. . “ownd’ is incorrect. I don’t know why that keeps showing up. ‘pwnd’ is not invented by l33t speak, but has been adopted as such.
Younger gamers are steadfast in their belief that the origin of this word dates back to the days of WarCraft, when a map designer misspelled “Own” as “Pwn”. What was originally supposed to be “player has been owned.” was “player has been pwned”. This is false origin.
Older gamers, those that were around before video games and those that grew up using BBS’ for online entertainment, will argue that the origin of this word dates back several hundred years ago to the game of Chess, when checkmating your opponent with a Pawn, the lowest valued chess piece, was termed, Pawned, and without using l337 speak simply typed pwn, pwnd, etc when executing this form of checkmate.
Later is was used in the phone pheaking days. I have numerous documents dated back in the 80’s showing that it was used often during these days.

Maia Marina, A word please, “Autopilot” is appropriate as in the context as in what is……………..,,,,”right or suitable”……………..,,,, for you fulfillment in this “day and age”, seriously it’s not being a youtube hound dog is it?
Marina, is there a possibility of having a “tongue in cheek” smiley?
It might help to avoid misunderstandings like this.
As someone famous once wrote to me, “don’t worry about the little scuffle! Things like that happen all the time!”
I hope capman will realise that too – he’s a good guy to have around.
Mike; You & Marina have to `hug’ & make-up. You both obviously hit nerves which is pretty cool if you step back and think about it. Everybody is learning AND growing here which again is more than just a tad bit cool, but walk away from this site only when you’ve determined that it no longer has value to you, which I don’t believe is the case–even a snot-nosed little kid can see you are an addition.
Marina, I realise that you have to cater for many different tastes and levels of education and intelligence, but I hope that you can return quickly to a more edifying content in your videos.
A propos of that, what do people think is the opposite of the phrase “dumbing down”? Would “dumbing UP” be sufficient and would “smartening up” be a double reversal, and therefore the same as “dumbing down”?
I have struggled to find anything amusing or witty to add to the homework assignment; the best I can come up with is the expression “unpacking ones trunk” for “picking ones nose”.
danielpool52 said below that you made Johnjohn’s day by showing his video request. I just hope that none of his contemporaries find out when he starts school, because he will forever be known as Booger. this site has some interesting other meanings for the word “booger” and according to #19, Marina is a Booger. I hope that remark doesn’t get up your nose, Marina.
Good sunday morning to ya!….well..morning here in sunny UK!
came across the word ‘poo’ on my morning round ( work as a kid doc)….and i wonder where that originates from?
btw fabulous and interesting website!
loved the Booger vid….i see lots of it at work! lol
I just finished my undergrad studies in International Affairs and me and my colleagues started to discuss what we’ll do now. Some will go on to master studies and some said they have to get a job, by hook or by crook….
can you please tell me the origin of this – “by hook or by crook”?
thank you.
Fifteen lines for fifteen words…
I shall start my morning not loving words today.
I seen today words have failed us
Discourage thoughtfulness
Broken friendships
Create silence
Hurt feelings
Fifteen words
I hope one morning fifteen words can be loved again
I hope they can work to help us understand
I hope they can encourage thoughtfulness
I hope they can heal broken friendships
I hope they can inspire talking
I hope they can heal the pain
Someone suggested I was writing poetry. I do not know how to write poetry. This was just my random thoughts I placed into a mathematical / visual display of words. I got a bit over emotional and just stayed up until about 5 or 7 am writing it. It’s 5pm now and Im going to get some shut eye soon.
Well now im really bummed out. This is a good example why chat rooms fail in efficient communications. They lack the body language that is such a very important part of the way we humans communicate. Im thinking this simple exchange of 15 words can cause so much misunderstanding. Capman made a joke, assuming Marina would see it as a joke so he thought no further need for more words to clarify it was a joke. Marina thinking that Capman was serious in his comment responded as such. 15 words. Too little of words exchanged to get th e correct point across? Not the correct selection of words? I wonder…
I learned something today. Not just the video lesson but the power of exchanging 15 words. Words can cut like a knife. They can cause great pains. Yet words can create great happiness.

Hey can you find where the word ‘cum’ comes from, because I grew up and my friends out of no where just say cum instead of you know sperm’ing, ejaculating, and more, but why cum? Like, I’m cumming… Cum, does it comes from the word ‘come’… But I don’t understand why… Why cum, it’s an odd word… May you please do a video on it please!!! PLEASE!!!

Oh, what a endearing reaction, but you didn’t name JohnJohn the teachers pet, saved that for next year?
Phrase request: [cold turkey] is used to mean to suddenly give something up, like drinking, smoking – i.e – “I’m going cold turkey with cigarettes today”… how did “cold turkey” come to mean giving something up??
lmao! I like that kid; mack daddy!
WoW! Has a high relevance to mysticism.
You need a red eye remover. Can I give you a hand?
Nobody nose the boogers I’ve seen.
Well thank christ I wasnt here when this all went mad.. I think in future this line will help..
If you cant say anything nice… piss off
Hello Marina,
That was very nice of you to make a show and dedicate it to John John. I’m sure he loved it.
Homework- always tell a friend if they have one hanging out.
Prediction – next word that will be investigated…..
drum roll please!
“Miley”
Hmmmm…… interesting….. it’s dangerous to have these psychic powers!

Hey 500!
My homework for this lesson: YES, I let my friends know when they’re hangin’ wallpaper from the membranes (after I get a picture, that is
).
My word for this lesson is: RHINOLITH scientific-speak for a “nasal concretion.”
Sorry I missed all the drama. Better for me, though I guess.
I missed all of the action too…but..
I think I found it
I bet there will be another kid requesting the word COOTIES.
I’m the other kid <——- & you’re it!
boogy woogy lmao
I usually say “you got a bat in the cave”
funnier than saying booger
Dear teacher,
This one was really excellent. Something really original like the halloween one. Sometimes it is always to have these kind of lesson, children questions are the most interesting !
Is it possible to have the origin of the words beyond and bootleg?
Amicalement,
Old Don Felipe
Hello Marina,
I would like to know more about the word Sequence.
Thanks
I got a couple of things. I was wondering where the origin of “roentgenism”. I also have been referred to as a “red headed step-child” and a “ginger” a lot becuase of my hair but I can’t find the origins to those either. Thanks for reading this.
Hi Marina I was wondering the origin of the term “Break the ice”
Thanks,

The booger climb has been tougher than pulling teeth and killing dead horses.
Hopefully we can blow our nose shortly to a new lesson.

Hey, I was woundering about the origen of 2 words: Penis and Sex. This is no joke.
Word request: Hello my dear teacher, would I be too much of a pollyanna to be asking for the origin of the word pollyanna?
<- rose colored classes
I was just wondering, why is it called a pair of pants, or a pair of panties? There’s only one, so why a pair?
Two single pant legs equal one pair of pants.
Marina did a word game lesson on panties
but the links are telling me I can’t “edit” them, WTF?
top of the page, second pulldown menu, far left
button “words /lessons”. Try again, later,
it’s broken. rough weekend. rowdies trashed the place
phew! stunk it up, too.
Some folks rise to an occasion and
show intelligence and creativity.
Some folks are just hoping to
“get ahead” by attrition, lacking
any real ability to be creative or
useful. Thanks for screwing up a
good weekend, guys.
aLx? the effitist pseudo head
games you and Buzzword play
are “the shit” Ooooh I am so
goddamn impressed! SNOT!
Your ama-zing! fucking clowns…
Roadrunmch? Looks like you’ve
escalated your status. You’re no
no longer just an “attention whore”.
You’ve proved you’re “the man” so
what’s YOUR fucking plan, now?
Teacher’s pet?
Marina, these boys need a good
game to play – theirs all suck ass.
Which there is a perfect quote just below Recent Comments:
Which begs the question, why didn’t they think wisely in the first place?
not enuf room in the lil’ head for wisdom, too…
annudder
apologies for ruining your weekend. i didn’t know your mood depends on what is said on this site. i’ll take it into consideration and contemplate the content of my comments prior to posting regarding the question of whether or not my comment will be humble enough to find your approval.
my inferior state of mind disallows me to even recognize the heights your brain probably floats around in.
i apparently epically failed in my attempt to impress you, or even meet the standards necessary to not be perceived as a clown by you.
i do hope, sir, that you will graciously accept my apologies for insulting your intelligence. in awe i bow before your wisdom, oh great master.
more effitist babble – fuck off, arsehole!
cynical snotwad – incapable of owning
your mistakes, compounding them even
further. You should drink some bleach!
get rid of the dark stains in the toilets
of your mind…apologize to me…?
don’t want it or need it from you.
Apologize to Marina, not me…
only TRY to act sincere, since your
obviousl snot.
I wish I knew what had everyone’s panties in a bunch these days.
Is there anything that anyone can possibly say here, from one random icon to another, that warrants getting angry about?
Seriously – melikadothechacha – whatever anyone said to whomever, what’s the difference. We’re all miles away each other and acting under randomly chosen “handles.” I’m not sure what could warrant that post above.
i have a word for you orgasim
It is how you know when to stop IT
and let someone else use the bathroom
Wild looking sweater and how is the weather eye? Be Good you all!!
Hi Sexy. I would like to find out about the origin of the word ASSUAGE please. Thanks Gorgeous.
I like peas….
…. Just a thought that popped into my head while eatting my dinner
i just wondered where the word Toy came from
when is the new lesson coming?
I was at work all day and thought I missed it.
“bun in the oven”
like being pregnant ..
I have a question for a word. The word is goth. =)
I have a request for a word, well actually phrase, I would like to know where the term “Kansas city shuffle” originates from. I heard it in the movie Lucky Number Slevin. If you could help me out, it would be great.
I always wondered where the word Sneakers came from
Marina, how did “bugger” come to mean “sodomize” in the British version of English? BTW Marina, did you know that on Youtube they have an ad/banner running over top of your words when they are printed out on the screen making them hard if not impossible to see? I don’t care when “House Bunny” appears in theaters, I want to see your lesson without the ads! Проклятые капиталисты!
just close the ad as soon as it pops up by clicking the X in the right corner. Then you will be able to see all of the lesson.
Why can’t people just leave this alone. RRR you can kiss my ass. And your very right you have pissed me off royally again. One minute your on my side then the next your condemning me. Why you have to keep dredging up something now that is very touchy and a sore subject is beyond me unless it’s your thing in life is to cause problems between people and keep turmoil stirred up on Marina’s site. I told Bob I was going to be cool about the rest of this, but I have taken all I am going to. Every time I read through the comments I find a new comment or thread about what happened yesterday. Marina and myself have made amends so we thought now everything will settle down and be normal. No you are starting another flame war that is going to be the end of me not you. You will continue to harass and belittle these people with you satirical ways. Sorry Bob I can take only so much. And no RRR everyone around me doesn’t have to walk on eggshells. And no RRR I don’t no if I caused Marina to cry or not if I did then I would do anything for it not to of happened. We didn’t discuss that in our e-mails to each other this morning. So I hope you are happy with your self for keeping this going another day and night.
@ Marina you can edit me out of your video as teachers pet or what ever. As long as people like RRR are on this site then I will not be.

Capman
As you yourself see the pattern in your actions.
(( MISUNDERSTANDING.))
You’re a loose cannon, You hurt people that mean you no harm. Your friends for the most part. And then you expect others to understand your feelings.
Would you slap your Wife and then make Her apologize to you for making you hit Her? That is what you did with Marina.
She at most was just trying to show others that read the posts here that, She does not think it is funny to mix sex with children. It is Her image that is hurt if people think, Hotforwords LLC. is rude and crude and treat children badly.
I’ve got no problem with you, You are no threat to Me. Attack Me all you like. I love to fight. No one else here wants to fight with you. They all just want to be your friend and get along. Remember that before you Hit first then apologize……. again. OK?
Mike; You’ve got to be kidding…in No Way should you leave now. It’s been clearly stated & resolved the proprietress of this site wrote emphatically that she would be bummed if you left. Just to let you know that when I first read BOTH comments I thought one was a little too risque and the other was too harsh (guess which was which), but I’ve been both on this site with a good chance of repetition. So what? If you leave over this I guaranty some a-hole is standing-by ready to take your place & that is not good for anyone, nor is it good for HFW–and that would (then) truely be something hurtful.
Capman
OK then I tried to point out that Your a hitter and then apologizing ego maniac. so I can kiss your ass? Does everyone you know tremble when you walk by? I am not one. So stop now. This you being an asshole and me pointing it out. I am not like Bob and I will not placate you and try to calm you down so if it a show down you need, you found another maniac to give it to you. Or you can stop BEING a Bully and admit you are a hot head and over reacted and hurt someone who meant you no ill.
Your choice friend?
What did you do?
RRR, what part of “water under the bridge” do you not understand? Every thing is just peachy between them. Now you want too keep digging up the dead horse and showing everyone that the horse is dead and searching for someone to blame. Please leave it buried. It wasn’t a real horse anyways. It was a small chocolate covered horse (you know like the chocolate covered bunny you can buy in spring time) that was dropped on to a dirty floor. Thankfully no one was hurt. We where sadden from the loss of good chocolate. Since it was very tasty chocolate (fit for a queen) and we didn’t want anyone get sick from it, we had to give it a proper burial. So let it be just water under the bridge. Don’t utter another word about this chocolate horse. Ok? Thanks.
Well Captjack
This is not the first time Capman has blown off. He is an abusive man.
He thrashes out at any little thing and expects others to UNderstand His problem, His temper. It is always His feelings that matter.
He’s attacked Me on another time for an MISunderstanding and others too. Now, He’s attacked Marina for another misunderstanding and expect Us to understand him……… Again.!!
NO ………No more it stops now! He is not a nice guy! He is a Bully and the way to treat a Bully is to stand up to him and say NO more…….!!!
I’ll go away and not say another thing about it fine, But let it be known that I stood up to Him and next time He blows it will be up to YOU to stand up to Him and say .
NO MORE!!
NO MORE!!
ps
Chocolate horse …..really??
RRR I don’t know how you can call me an abusive man and a bully. The misunderstanding you and I had was just that a misunderstanding. I didn’t understand your tone at the time nor did I under stand the format on how you comment to others. The only other misunderstanding I have had with anyone was Argon. I misunderstood that he was making a bad comment towards the people on this site and it was the utube site he was referring to.. I was only taking up for people on the site. How do I thrash out at ever little thing? I think I am a very passive person compared to others that comment on here. If I did make a wrong statement then yes I would apologize for it, I am man enough to admit when I am wrong. I would like to get this resolved between us so it doesn’t keep escalating.
I agree with you. I did not mean to jump Marina. But I did. I can’t take that back. But I tried to show how sorry I was and yes I am a sorry person for doing that to her. In our emails to each other she explained that she thought that would be the proper response to my comment as she said that if we were standing side by side and I made that comment then she would say the same thing and we would both laugh about it. I agree with her response. I see now that she should have never backed down and apologized back to me. I should have been sent an email from her telling me that was not a proper conduct to take. But she has a very big heart as you know. So all I can do now is except the consequences of my behavior and move on so I don’t cause any more problems for her site. Thanks for the chiding we all need to be put in our place now and then. Hot headed yes but I don’t think I am a bully or troublemaker.
I agree, and i apologize if I’m over stepping my bounds. I think everyone should let it go. What is done is done. This is only between Marina and Capman. All people like RRR, and myself (now) are just riding the coat tails of things that don’t matter anymore.
Well said Smokey…
darn – I’ve been trying to find the fireworks that everyone is talking about. I’d really like to see what someone said that was so hurtful and got some of you so pissed off.
Can someone direct me to the quotes. I must know!
It was deleted…& not that special…
Capman
Stop it already …ok?
I am not playing anymore, you’re not going to get me to apologize to you and make nice. But…You do not need to leave, just stop being a hard ass. Just treat others the way you want to be treated, that’s all.
Just drop it.
Jeez… they’re just words … they can’t hurt anyone.
I found an interesting site which hopefully will give you a laugh, as well as a little insight into online behaviors. Click the “begin” or go through the list… oh & have fun with it, but don’t share it. Flame Warriors
Hi BillyB. I couldn’t get the link to work. So maybe if you get a chance try again for me please.
oops
that was amusing and potentially constructive. recognized myself in too many of those characters. oh, yeah. jan smithers, my pick too.
yeah I’m fairly new to this online conversation stuff & it is a funny site.
but the tendencies I exhibit here at hotforwords forum are different than how I would act at, say, a political forum, or even a so called christian forum. Here I can be a little more, ah, just me, and I guess a little more vulnerable, which here, is OK…I hope.
we all belong to various social groups and modify our behavior to function effectively in them. we all do it, belonging to several communities is beneficial to health and survival. there is a theory in psychology called bronfenbrenner’s ecological theory of development. that explores these various communities one belongs to and how it influences human development.
Yep I found myself in there.
I saw Buzz, the hairy guy chewing on the key board.
No just kidding you Buzz.
You wouldn’t chew your key board.
Thanks, BillyB
Man, that was on hell of a reading assignment, Billy B. The brevity of your comment was inversely proportional to the information overload contained in the link! Funny stuff, though. It’s nice to see what some of my classmates look like after all this time. But I didn’t see any deadmen in there, so it must still be a work in progress or some such.
I think it’s VERY SWEET that Marina decided to do something nice for JohnJohn

Hey thanks!!
Are you a horse enthusiast
I’ve never had one, but I think they’re super strong, are great runners, and it’s marvelous to watch them when they’ve been treated well
When I was just a boy growing up we had a Shetland pony who was mean as thunder that effectively dissuaded my enthusiasm for horses. However later on at our ranch dad bred and raised horses mainly for my sisters to ride we had 5 horses eventually all from the same mare, (including her of course). As to your question i found that video while researching and it seemed appropriate based upon your avatar. (luckyvision i suppose, glad you like )
Hi Marina.
I was wondering.. where do the words “ponytail” and “pigtail” come from? (As in when we tie our hair up with elastics.)
dang, i leave for a daylong meeting and miss all the good stuff…
‘pears things got a bit boogered up…
’snot right, i tell you…

What a downer! No new video today! (Not yet, anyway.) Plus, bad feelings over so small a question as “Why would I think that?” I’m glad things are resolved, now. I hope Marina didn’t get so concerned that she couldn’t edit a video for release, today. I also hope Marina gets better word requests than many of the crude ones, or limited-interest ones that I’ve seen. All I ever asked for was “Sweetheart” and I already looked it up for myself. (Many of you could look up your own words, too.)
Seesixcm6
look up our own words, no shit?!
http://www.youtube.com/user/TheDefrancoShow
Buzz I have read a lot of your comments. I don’t know what you are taking in school, or what you are aspiring to be “ie lawyer, professor, school teacher or something along that profession, but it is very enlightening to read your comments because I learn something by every one of them. You retain knowledge like a sponge. You and Alx make a lot of sense in the way and how you give your reply’s. I am not kissing arse
I am just giving credit where credit is due.
PS. Alx wouldn’t let me cry on his shoulder either.
If you look her video just made page 2 and is # 39. She’ll post when it gets around somewhere near #24.
She is making video lessons of words no one else has the guts to do. And she does them very eloquently. 
My most recent purchase was The Oxford Companion To Ships & the Sea – 1976 ED. Worth about $100.00 dollars.
I think its cool that she looks up what you call crude words. You won’t see a normal school teacher look those words up.
Yes I look up my own words sometimes too. I even purchase my own books, instead of using the internet all the time.
does it float?
No, he’s using it as an anchor.
BW, only on Tuesdays. Now figure that one out…
I don’t know if you have seen, but in earlier posts I have mentioned that my parents have the only set (outside of libraries) in the state of a dictionary that has at least 26 volumes. Sometimes I go to their house and look up stuff just for laughs, yet it still doesn’t compare to the knowedge or enjoyment of learning from of our beloved teacher, Miss. Marina
Smokey, Wow that must be cool. My dad had this cool collection of encyclopedias which I was always sticking my nose into. Mostly because I was grounded for most of my young life. I remember seeing this illustration of a flying fish. I thought it was fictitious but then one day when I was sailing around the world on the USS Missouri, a flying fish made it to the main deck. I could not believe my eyes. This was the same fish I had research when I was little.
Yes I enjoy Marina’s lessons. I always waiting for the next one. Its like eating the next meal. It satisfies your hunger for the time being but if you miss one you get very hungry for that next meal.
Got a new word to submit. Queue. I know the meaning but where does it come from?
QUEUE is a French word and means TAIL.
The old-french word was COUE and today a little COUE is a COUETTE meaning differently “bunch of hair” or “quilt”.
The French QUEUE alias COUE comes from the Latin CAUDA = TAIL
Hey Marina! I’m love your videos! Russian chicks is HOT
Anyway.. I wanna know where your name comes from
What a yummy topic. Dead boogers provided many a fellow student with an endless source of food, and nutrition. I remember alot of kids that eat their boogers. I like raw boogers the ones that aren’t dried.
I guess a remnant left over from the time the head mistress of the school took me out of class, and down the hall pulled down my pants and put me over her knee and spanked my bottom with her bare hand , then took me back to class.

must’ve been something you learned back in ‘67
Actually ‘57, I only wish the school head mistress was as good looking as marina.. I would have forgot about the boogers, and only remembered the knockers.

…Great video by John, John and a great response!!
I’d like to know where the term “Jarhead” came from. and I’d be great if I could be the teacher’s pet, lol.
It’s cause of the weird haircut the marines have
i hope i didn’t offend anyone with that
The misunderstanding between Marina and myself has hopefully been resolved. Like BillyB stated I have a short fuse and I will admit it. I do my best not to let things get under my skin, but I just loose control on occasion. Sometimes I don’t know how to take some of the comments or their meanings that are put to me. Each person here has a different type of humor. Most I understand some I just let slide until the one comes up I take offense at. That happened yesterday and to the one person I never ever wanted to offend, and I did. I said I wasn’t going to apologize for what I said but I am and I hope Marina will accept it. It seems I have been doing this a lot apologizing for one thing or another ever since I joined this group of amazing people. Sorry I can’t help my attitude, but it is a part of me.
Compared to mine your fuse is not short at all
Sometimes the wind shifts and I pop. You’re a very decent guy Mike, Marina knows that.
Glad you’re still here, Mike.
Remember what I told you before about choice?
Take some time to reflect on what you have learned today, and WRITE IT DOWN.
Then, next time you feel like exploding, READ IT before you do anything.
You’ll find that it will stretch the fuse.
You CAN change if you want to.
Uncle Bob.
Well sorry to disappoint you Bob, but wetsuit has opened his mouth after everything was over with and I am going to fill it with my rebuttal. I am still not quite cooled off and then have him comment to Marina about how she oh never mind.
Couldn’t go through with it Bob. Sat back and thought about it.
See, I told you that you could do it.
Congratulations.
As my Grandmother used to say, “Least said, soonest mended.”

Given the strong chance of pissing you off again, I too thought about it and it was your short temper and your need to attack first and think later that started all of this. again?. You attacked Marina….and yet She apologizes?
Does everyone you know walk on egg shells around you. Are you such a hot head that if anyone crosses you you blow off and take no prisoners. lashing out at everyone.
You OVER reacted and worse you broke Marinas heart and it would not surprise me if you even made Her cry.
I said I would not be the hitter anymore, but no one else is going to call you on it then as another old war horse I will. Ok
For the ones of you that are going to call me to the carpet, stop and think , Was He just misunderstood ( like me ) or did he over react.
And hurt Marina.?
And I did apologize to Her for being a hitter and a flamer and have I not been much better?.
r
roadrunrnch, you hit like a empty sock puppet and smokey the bear is a better flamer than you.
RRR, your not privy to the facts. Both parties, including I was making a jokes and there was some confusion.
All is better now.
Like she said its water under the bridge now.
Things are good. Time to move on.
Thank you buzzy
I was trying to be nicer and sweeter and for me that was, I thought. But for you to notice that I was softer and not just being a flame thrower is good….right?
this issue has not been resolved. i think the source of this problem is this john john kid, little shit, he is obviously a trouble maker and should be placed in time out immediately for causing so much trouble.
wy would you call him names,he has done NOTHING wrong
yeah! see! that was kind of a stupid remark! you should’ve put a “metaphorically” in or something.
What’s with this time out stuff ?
nothing wrong? he said b##ger and now this whole website has all gone to hell. things are all fucked up because of this john john kid. i don’t trust him, he’s up to something. probably stealing cookies out of a cookie jar right now.
there is a difference between beating and discipline
cruel beatings life ain’t fair.
my kid says he knows this john john kid and he’s nothing but trouble. worst kid on the block, cats have been coming up missing and i think john john’s behind it all.
No more hanging out with the soccer moms.
BW, Has anyone told you that you might be nuts?
Where you dropped on your head as a baby?
BB, I enjoyed watching that video lesson. Life ain’t fair.. yea they got that right! Might as well teach them at an early age.
No need to apologize Capman911! What’s funny is that I recorded your name in a teacher’s pet clip after the event… so I really hadn’t thought anything of it until I later realized there had been some misinterpretations going on!
So.. it’s water under the bridge (hmm.. wonder where that expression comes from?).. and keep an eye out for yourself as my teacher’s pet in an upcoming video
Thanks, Miss M.
waiting for your next video.
http://wesuejudges.info/
Marina, where does the the expression “keep an eye out for you” come from? Wouldn’t taking an eye out be painful as Hell?! And if you are looking out for somebody, couldn’t you do a better job with two eyes instead of one? Is this expression peculiar to America or does it exist in Russia too?
Captain, If you get picked at a Teacher Pet I’ll have to kick you out SOUP.
Oh wait… I think I had to kick myself out. damn! Now who’s going to take over?
Sniperskaya, I heard the term “keep a weather eye out”
Weather eye, as most sailors have two eyes, the simple way of making sure someone was looking out for any adverse weather conditions was to have him keep one eye open on the weather side of the ship. — From the book “With a pinch of salt” which is a book I don’t trust because it lacks references and I have proven some things to be false.
Weather eye from Salty Dog talk – Keep a good watch. It took and extra effort for the lookout to train his eye on the weather side of the ship as it would mean his having to face the wind, the spray, and the rain. From the weather side however, always came the first sign of a change (in the weather).
I don’t have any other reference that address whether or not if this is a true origin or not. Looks like a job for Super Philologist.
Marina, I seen a children’s TV show (don’t ask me why I was watching it) that was teaching children what this phase meant. The showed examples of how to use the phrase. It would be interesting to find out the etymology of this word.
Disregard my last email just the bottom part that is. The rest I meant. I here for you and your dite, Miss M.
See, Muhaaaah’s for everybody.
If your a girl I’ll Muhaaaah with you, but if your not it’s Captain Jack for you
Hey bud, You know I understand. Take all the time you need. Will all be here for you.
pal, if you ever need a shoulder to lean on or a warm hug… do aLx, i ain’t comfortable with that shit.
LMAO at that one Buzz
yeah, aLx will bend over and take one for the team, i’m sure…
annudder
well, it wasn’t my intention to satisfy your homoerotic fantasies annudermale. i don’t think aLx is into that, but if your into gay german hardcore i’m sure there are some online opportunities for you. good luck with your developing sexuality.
sorry – i guess i misinterpreted your “do aLx”…
oh, and stay sweet as you are.
annudermale, yeah i see what you mean about my choice of words, i could have said that better, sure aLx would agree. no need to apologize, i will for my hard core response to you, it wasn’t necessary.
well, i missed the snot rocket fight…dangit…
glad cooler heads prevailed…

ha, thats kinda funny. trick is not to click on start, the timer measures how long it takes you to click on start.
hmm… scratch that, seems to be random. okay, enough time waisted on pointless activities.
That was the stupidest game i have ever come across
(the trick is to not move or click your mous after you hit start(for the people who don’t get it))
i would’ve figured that out, but i got bored and switched to shooting live puppies. their suffering, i have bad aim.
That’s the point!
It’s a waste of time to play
the game if you can’t win.
The only way not to lose,
is not to play. Knowing
this, you know it’s a
loser’s game played
only by losers.
Is there an analogy here?
hmmm…..
I could only get to level 3. It was very hard. I just couldn’t resist. LOL LOL LOL… Now Im going to be branded as a puppy killer. hehehe
Hey, as long as you eat everything you kill, it’s all good. I hope you have a good leash so you can wok your dogs!
I thought I had road kill recipe book somewhere here.
PT, do you play cards with other dead people or you just shoot the shit?
Do you find other dead people boring to talk to?
I was just thinking them all just lying around there not doing a damn thing. Being a dead person sound boring. I don’t think I will ever try dieing. I heard people are dieing to get dead. Sound like there might be long lines for that.
somehow, somewhere, someplace … wtf?
where the hell … ?

http://www.youtube.com/MiroTheKing this one also
this as nothing to do with my subjet.. its just a fight…
Don’t ass u me that I said Marina isn’t sexy, she most definitley is, but the definition of sex symbol would be a person’s Image or persona… that which is peceived. HFW has carved out a unique representation & is ever changing, growing , morphing…whatever you want to call it.
Marina is a person, with a soul & you can make all the assumtions you want about her, but don’t believe that your fantasies reflect the real person behind the HFW persona.
I’m not unhappy I just don’t use the emo things that much. hehe
Got to go wash the car now (dirty after camping {true}) I didn’t get to go though
Thanks again BillyB.
Came back to the page this aft. & it looks a little like a Picaso version of Marina’s incredible, sweet outfit.
Well, BillyB, bits are being cut out and thrown away so I think she’s doing a striptease.
So then sexy women are not smart,
))
Smart women are not sex symbols?
Is Perris is not a person with a soul and or smart?
Are you trying to prove me wrong or that you are a hypocrite? ((
Marina is or is not ……….like anyone knows. not sure She knows.
Hey got you email. I was a little inaccurate before, saying that we have souls. We are souls, we have bodies, is the way it makes sense to me. Actually most sexy women are smart. Pam Anderson grew up on our Island & is from a very “normal”, for this area, family… with a daddy that would kill for her & has threatened paparazzi etc. She knows what persona she has portrayed & plays it up big time. Her dad & I probably would agree that it isn’t the safest thing she could do. She has made mistakes & continues to, but there is no denying her desire to be in charge of her own future. Heard her interviewed on CBC Radio last weekend, she is ambitious. “Paris” as in the heiress, is who I assume you meant, another soul who may or may not survive the antics of her youth, by grace she has made it thus far & knows full well (I hope) what people say about her, but she seems to care as much about appearing, as appearing intelligent.
I appreciate your unique personality & I think you said before you would want your own daughters treated with respect or you would go apeshyte or something like that 
I’ve always wondered what is meant by sex symbol & not to start an argument about semantics but doesn’t it, (sex symbol) originate in the head of the one who has made the object (persona) a symbol for their desire or what ever you want to call it … possibly lust or something close to it. A symbol is symbolic only to the one who gives it significance.(An olive branch is a symbol of peace, it is not peace, to some it is just a stick) Can you not, even at your age appreciate the privilege of being invited to someone’s place, even if others think of them as a sex symbol, without ogling or staring or being rude even. I’ m not angry or trying to sh#t on you, but you are like my mom, in a way. If there is a deposit left on the lawn by a wee k9 friend, she will poke it to see if it stinks and as everyone knows, it can’t be left alone
I’ll admit to a certain amount of hypocrisy as long as you consider it honest hypocrisy, as it seems at times to dominate me, I fight it with feeble weapons of my own & some prayer. As far as proving you wrong, you know far more than you let on & I would get terribly confused if the point of my life was to prove people wrong.
enough outa me I’m back too work, thanks for the insanity break. I got no emo on that one.
WOW
A lot of wind to blow out a candel…?
[Can you not, even at your age appreciate the privilege of being invited to someone’s place, even if others think of them as a sex symbol, without ogling or staring or being rude even.
???????????????????????
You lost me for the most part of you diatribe but are you accusing me of being a ogler or sycophant something whatsoever. ??
But as for not being young enough to know it all, You’re right.
And when you grow up and don’t know it all anymore you can be the stupid old guy……..too. if you’re lucky.
Hey “I’m stupid & old”
By the way Marina ! In Russian is it KOZA ???
STUPID
I’ve heard the word originated from a Mr. Stuart Pid in London, but surely Stu couldn’t have made the word, STUPID, as popular as it has become.
Please tell me more about the word STUPID and how it grew beyond Stu Pid into a word we all love to use in rush hour traffic and other similar situations where we just wish someone would shut-up or get out of our way.

Would you really watch Hilary Clinton do the origin of BOOGER?
oooh, yeah, you’re the most hated here, you’re the biggest, the worst motherfucker around. beware of roadrunrnch! yeah, right …
and if you think the opposite of love is hate, you’re very much mistaken.

If Hilary looked like Marina, I be a tree hugging, give it all to the poor and lazy, Planet warming sycophants like the rest of the brainless Hilary loving zombies……….TOO
Marina’s response the first time was not inappropriate at all. C9 took it wrong & flipped a switch. Guys cannot tell women how to react to what they say, most guys deal with the reaction not even caring about the result. Capman cares but has a short fuse. I Say, let him cool his heels & heal his cool. He is a big guy.
What really surprised me was that after the first kid , she wanted more?
Look at the crap that is said to the boss on Youtube & here, she is very gracious & even if Cman was serious, he can deal with a blow to the ego, at our age you learn most dignity is false anyways. My wife, a very properly raised woman, when in the midst of childbearing found all kinds of new things to call me
Before I get too off topic (already am) Marina is a person, not a sex symbol. HFW breaks down the stereotype of a sex symbol. I don’t take lightly what I read here, but I try not to take or give anything to personaly, as you know RRR it can be & is very often misunderstood.
So if you think I hate you RRR, go ahead think that, but I don’t. So take that as a “I find it hard to repect your opinion” because you are so hard to understand sometimes… but I do repect you & your right to say what’s on your mind as long as you respect your hostess.

She is Knocked up.
Hi!
I want to know where the word Archer comes from.
I wana know this to, but I think it comes frome the french word arc which means bow.
Correct ! ARCHER = ARCHER in French “Bowman”
From ARC = BOW
JOAN OF ARC sounds like JOAN BOWS
I guess “silly” would have been a better word.. that’s the feeling I was trying to convey with my response.
Well.. I hope he stays (or comes back).

No way, if Marina ever crosses me I’m going to flame the holy heck out of her.
roadrunmch, you only consider the opinions of attractive women and you ignore the opinions of unattractive women. is that what your saying? i don’t know what your concept of attractiveness is, but i assume hillary clinton is your example of an unattractive women. so, unattractive women do not have anything to say that you would bother paying attention to? are you that attracted to the men you bother paying attention to? just trying to understand, just me i guess, but you rarely make much sense, perhaps your satire is too sophisticated or maybe your just unattractive. but weren’t you just complaining about how shallow paris hilton is?
I read you the first time.
Привет, какое происхождение у слова depreciation. Привет из России!!
DÉPRECIATION is French = loss of price, like for an aging bad car.
The root is PRIX = PRICE = ЦЕНА
Я бы сказал DEPRECIATION = ОБЕСЦЕНИВАНИЕ
The notion of PRICE is WORTH in Germanique but the very word PRICE is taken from Latin like in any Germanic language.
Hi Marina,
Where does the word Archer/Archery originate from?
I love the way you pronounce the word “marriage” in your interview with Bill O’Reilly….. could you give us the origin of it? Thanks… Love your videos and site!!
tell me about zeitgeist please
does it mean something
ZEITGEIST is German : ZEIT = TIME (the same root as TIDE)
GEIST = GHOST, SPIRIT
ZEITGEIST means “Spirit of the Time”, “State of Mind”.
thank you very much
how about
“money”
“dollar”
“bucks”
MONEY is from Latin MONETA “Goddess of Memory” because the coins in Ancient Rome were made nearby her statue.
DOLLAR is from Germanic TALER “money made nearby a place called TAL “the dale, the valley”.
what about “bucks”?
eh…
…eh…
…eh?
Dear Marina,

Hello Marina -

docent=latin docēre means to teach.
Hi Marina, could you tell us what is the meaning of the word “PWND” Its like Ownd, Owned, but why the P??? Thanks Marina, we love you!!!
probably a typo, cause the p and the o are next to each other.
perhaps “previously owned”, car dealerships use “previously owned” to describe used cars because it sounds better i guess.
i think he’s talking abouth the gaming PWN,pwnage,ownage whatever it is, when you kill someone you say it like, I own you
maybe it has to do with chess
it’s just a typo.
p instead of o, and it stuck.
you all ain’t l33t enough anyway. n4ps.;P
Maybe is a typo, but, people use to say that they “Give someone a lesson, saying OWNED, and the same but harder or better is the PWND, but why P? Why P make this better, maybe is as buzzword says, “Previously owned”, looks like, dunno.
no, it’s just “owned” with a typo. doesn’t matter if you say “ownd” or “pwnd”. when you ownd someone you beat him. like, defeated him.
Yeah, thats for sure hahahaha
pwn, pwnd is not a typo. It was crafted in the BBS days. . “ownd’ is incorrect. I don’t know why that keeps showing up. ‘pwnd’ is not invented by l33t speak, but has been adopted as such.
Younger gamers are steadfast in their belief that the origin of this word dates back to the days of WarCraft, when a map designer misspelled “Own” as “Pwn”. What was originally supposed to be “player has been owned.” was “player has been pwned”. This is false origin.
Older gamers, those that were around before video games and those that grew up using BBS’ for online entertainment, will argue that the origin of this word dates back several hundred years ago to the game of Chess, when checkmating your opponent with a Pawn, the lowest valued chess piece, was termed, Pawned, and without using l337 speak simply typed pwn, pwnd, etc when executing this form of checkmate.
Later is was used in the phone pheaking days. I have numerous documents dated back in the 80’s showing that it was used often during these days.
Hummm … Yeah, aLx, good point – I didn’t think about that.
phrase request:
“for the love of Mike”
seems appropriate

I hope capman will realise that too – he’s a good guy to have around.
you did knife
how about “sword”?
you cant make everyone happy the little boy is happy good job marina
Mike; You & Marina have to `hug’ & make-up. You both obviously hit nerves which is pretty cool if you step back and think about it. Everybody is learning AND growing here which again is more than just a tad bit cool, but walk away from this site only when you’ve determined that it no longer has value to you, which I don’t believe is the case–even a snot-nosed little kid can see you are an addition.
Marina, I realise that you have to cater for many different tastes and levels of education and intelligence, but I hope that you can return quickly to a more edifying content in your videos.
A propos of that, what do people think is the opposite of the phrase “dumbing down”? Would “dumbing UP” be sufficient and would “smartening up” be a double reversal, and therefore the same as “dumbing down”?
I have struggled to find anything amusing or witty to add to the homework assignment; the best I can come up with is the expression “unpacking ones trunk” for “picking ones nose”.
danielpool52 said below that you made Johnjohn’s day by showing his video request. I just hope that none of his contemporaries find out when he starts school, because he will forever be known as Booger.
this site has some interesting other meanings for the word “booger” and according to #19, Marina is a Booger. I hope that remark doesn’t get up your nose, Marina.
since a fair few booger terms have been named, I often hear the reference “digging for gold” whenever you see someone picking their nose
Thanks for the lesson SnotForWords
I mean HotForWords

Fifteen lines for fifteen words…




I shall start my morning not loving words today.
I seen today words have failed us
Discourage thoughtfulness
Broken friendships
Create silence
Hurt feelings
Fifteen words
I hope one morning fifteen words can be loved again




I hope they can work to help us understand
I hope they can encourage thoughtfulness
I hope they can heal broken friendships
I hope they can inspire talking
I hope they can heal the pain
Fifteen lines for fifteen words…

nice use of smiley faces.
Someone suggested I was writing poetry. I do not know how to write poetry. This was just my random thoughts I placed into a mathematical / visual display of words.
I got a bit over emotional and just stayed up until about 5 or 7 am writing it. It’s 5pm now and Im going to get some shut eye soon.
Well now im really bummed out.
This is a good example why chat rooms fail in efficient communications. They lack the body language that is such a very important part of the way we humans communicate. Im thinking this simple exchange of 15 words can cause so much misunderstanding.
Capman made a joke, assuming Marina would see it as a joke so he thought no further need for more words to clarify it was a joke. Marina thinking that Capman was serious in his comment responded as such. 15 words.
Too little of words exchanged to get th e correct point across? Not the correct selection of words? I wonder…

Yet words can create great happiness.
I learned something today. Not just the video lesson but the power of exchanging 15 words. Words can cut like a knife. They can cause great pains.

Hey can you find where the word ‘cum’ comes from, because I grew up and my friends out of no where just say cum instead of you know sperm’ing, ejaculating, and more, but why cum? Like, I’m cumming… Cum, does it comes from the word ‘come’… But I don’t understand why… Why cum, it’s an odd word… May you please do a video on it please!!! PLEASE!!!
“Nose Goblin”
“Sinus Taffy”
“Snot Spider”
“Sinus taffy” I like that one
Capman please don’t stay away. I am sure she didn’t mean it as you are taking it. I like you around here, so come back soon.
Oh all knowing wonderwoman, Can you tell me the provenance of the word naughty.Thanks
