My nickname is Koba… was little mermaid when I was younger… but why the word nick in nickname?
My nickname is Koba… was little mermaid when I was younger… but why the word nick in nickname?
my name is nicholas rene’ gaspard and people just call me nick does that qualify as a nick name if not then i do not have a nick name
My ekename is smiley… guess why!
Sobriquet……
Koba, the Indomitable. It was a childhood nickname of Stalin, who took it from a famous Georgian folk hero. I don’t see a link between you and Stalin, or folk heroes, but you do seem to be quite an indomitable woman. Does that nickname mean that no man has power over you?
Hmm, deferonate…? To remove the iron from?
Roachmeister actually is a nickname, because my last name is Roach. A friend of mine at the time named Robert Cummins tagged me with it, and it stuck to me when some of my gaming friends began to use it as well.
If your nickname has anything to do with the story “The Patricide”, that makes my eyes misty. I wish I knew you well enough to know why in the blue blazes you are nicknamed Koba!
Nickname: M. Pro
I, too love seafood but not so much swimming. Lobster is crackin’ though.
Nickname: Scrod… Received in college.
Extra Credit: Your nickname originates from your desire for water and seafood: Koba bears the meaning little mermaid.
My nickname from my family is bunny buns because on my first halloween my parents thought it would be cute to dress me up as a baby bunny. So my family still uses it haha
why Koba? Maybe because you bare the same characteristics to a fictional character of the same name? Anyway, my nickname is Tails because I usually have my hair in a pony tail. But I’m also called Joker because of the countless pranks I pull on my friends and family!
was you originally a red head just curious. Larry my nick name not sure where it comes from my spanish equivilant is Lorenzo
When I was in the army, my nickname while I was in basic training was ‘100′, because that was how many push-ups I was suppose to owe.
But when I got io my permanent duty station, my new nickname was ‘Sparky’ for a while, before I got transfered elsewhere.
Eek = och/og (Scandinavian)?
Koba was a fictionalized name for a character who represented Stalin in a book I read once. I don’t remember the author off hand. Evedently you were a very demanding person when you were younger.
Spanish-speaking friends (I have many) call me “El Gato,” though it’s too long a story to explain why.

Just guessing without looking it up but I am thinking “seeded” must have been first used in tennis, probably Wimbledon.
“Koba” is harder. There is a reference to Stalin and a game about who will survive. There are also 2 cheetahs and something to do with anime. I don’t think so.
I think it has to do with one of the species is the fantasy world of Rym, called a Koba. They are good swimmers.
my ekename is mauiman. becuz I loved Maui so much I sold everything (business, house, cars, furniture, clothes, shoes, long pants, long sleeved shits, coats, gloves, and moved there for 3 years.
“long sleeved shits”
Yikes! LOL! I guess you know what I meant to say.
I lol’d too, that’s pretty jokes man.

Marina,
I have a friend who has borrowed money from me over the years, and never repays me. I have given him the nickname of Moocher. I was wondering where the word Moocher came from.
Thanks for the word lessons, I have learned a lot. It’s amazing how much one can learn from someone who is “Hot”, and Hot For Words.

Hi Marina,
Do you know why shampoo ends with a poo?
; )
Mariiiiiinaaaaaaaaa!! …
… does the word spell as in “to spell a word” have the same origin as in the witch-like use: “casting a spell“?
I think I may have come up with a cool word request: good better best, bad worse worst, how come the comparison of adjectives is diffrent with these? Is there some etymological reason?
I think: good, better, best
should be replaced by:
good
plus good
double plus good
(I can’t remember where i saw this … either 1984 or Clockwork Orange, maybe)
Sorry, no nickname.
my nickname at school was mijj …
.. i choose to spell it “mijj” because it looks the same upside down. Why is that a desirable trait? … [shuffles feet] … dunno.
You don’t believe me!?!! … You bastard!
Here’s proof … [inverting "mijj"]
As I drove to work the other day I saw a sign that said “DIP” and I remembered the BC comic strip where guy on his stone wheel saw the sign and expected a depression in the road but actually ran his wheel over a person sitting in the road. I though you could have some fun with that. Thanks for you videos.

Good job on “nickname,” but why not also give the technical linguistic name for the transfer of a consonant from the end of one word to the beginning of another. Isn’t it “metathesis”? And by the way, what is the origin of “metathesis”?
That sounds similar to the way “a naranj” turned into “an orange.”

Where does the word “Tent” come from, it’s used to describe a small mobile sleeping area. What made it become “Tent”?
A guy walks into a psychiatrist office and says “Doctor, Doctor. I’ve been having this reoccurring dream. First I’m a teepee then I’m a wigwam. It goes on and on night after night.”
The shrink says “Relax, you’re two TENTS.”
good one smokey
I would like you to cover the phrase “drunk as a skunk.”
Skunks don’t hit the booze… is it because people like rhymes?
Thanks
True, rhyming words do sound more eloquent sometimes. Ever hear the expression,”stinkin’ drunk” as in someone on whom you can smell booze from halfway down the block? Maybe that led to the origin. But who knows? Good suggestion, jaggededge.
Hotforwords must investigate!
Koba was a nickname for Josef Stalin, from the name of a character in a Russian novel.

Hey, Marina!
I’m really intrigued by the months of September, October, November and December.
I don’t know if english speakers see it, but I, as a portuguese speaker, clearly see that the prefixes “sept”, “oct”, “nov” and “dec” mean “seven”, “eight”, “nine” and “ten”.
But I wonder why… After all, these months are, actually, months 9, 10, 11 and 12!
Why is that?
Thank you, bye bye!
Because Julius Caesar and Augustus Caesar wanted monts named for them so then Sept. Oct. Nov. Dec. All got bumped by 2.
Oooooooohh, I seeee…!
I knew about August, but not about July.
Can’t believe I never thought of it!
Thanks!
I think it would be interesting too if Marina did a video on all months origins…
By now I know about July and on, but what about June down?
A new question is: Why does Feb(my birth month) only have 28 days (not including leap years) I think I remember a story about Julius being jealous of Augustus because August had 31 days and July only had 30 (once opon a time) so he STOLE from Feb. I would like to know if thats true.
Sounds typical of those Roman despots. Always trying to one-up each other.
I think the real question is: why don’t all the other months have 28 days? (with a special extra day to make up the year).
13 x 28 = 364 + 1 = 365 !!
So .. it would have been much more rational to have 13 months (where this “month” would actually more closely matche the moon cycle) of 28 days (= 4 weeks), + an extra celebratory day bolted on to mark the transition from one year to the next (or two days for a leap year).
Instead we have the irrational bunch if hodgepodge “months” that we have now.
I’m outraged (
). I may very well write a complaining letter to the pope.
… there would be an extra “month”, and it would need a name.
I suggest: mijjember !!
Actually, THIS (see above) is my nickname
As for the manatee, one story is that sailors who have been too long without women would see tails in the ocean and think they were women..mermaids, actually. The manatee (now an endangered animal that frequents Florida shorelines) was a creature supposedly mistaken for the femme fatale known as the mermaid.
Marina, Did you go to a casino last night? My moher thought she saw you!
WOW, that sure is a bright blue you’ve got goin’ here. I like it!

hi pagedoll;) what does ‘pagedoll’ mean? hotforwords must investigate

Hey PD! Where have you been my friend. I missed you. No one seems to know where you went. You didn’t check out with me and the classroom hall monitor has cited you for not having a hall pass.
Nice video, I was wondering where does the word ChickenPox come from? Does it have to do with chicken?
Hey Marina,
I’ve always wondered where the american english word ‘boondocks’ came from. It sounds like it came from the Filipino word ‘bundok’, meaning mountain. Could you check this out for me?
Great show b the way!

Lets see. Koba HMMMMM a seafood lover
Whhaaaaaassssuuuuuppp!
You are my friend. How’s it hanging. Your looking “nice” today.
Oh S#!†
I was searching for a new Vietnamese restaurant to eat at . Well Im addicted to Salad rolls. Its a Vietnamese food. In my searching I found out there is a Korean BBQ restaurant here in Seattle area. Its called KoBa. Its short for Korean Barbeque.
I have another nickname an old friend of mine (Eddie Garcia) used to call me was “The Salad Man”, because I would eat very larger bowls of the stuff. You know the size you would feed a family? I would eat the whole damn thing myself.
Here’s my thought. Im thinking that if there is such a restaurant where she lived called Korean BBQ or KoBa and she is obsessed with eating at such a place that she would get a nickname like such. Well that’s my other theory.
Hey Captain,
Try the salad rolls at Thai Ku in Ballard…. yum…. Now if I could just figure out what the hell is in Thai sausage…. well on second thought, never mind….
No I haven’t. I was looking for some other place to find salad rolls. There is this Vietnamese restaurants I eat at on Market st. I can’t remember the name but is a few door down from The Kitchen Store. I yet have to try all the restaurants in town. ..
Gettin’ ready to head up to the campground for a couple days. Hold down the fort, will ya? I’ll be back with the cavalry!

I was wondering where the term “Take your marks” or “On your marks, get set, go” comes from. Basically, anything to do with the start of a race. (Swimming, running, etc.)
Thanks =)
Why do people say “jinx” when when they say the same thing as someone else at the same time?
My father always called me Crockett when I was growing up. Interestingly, i have an ancestor with the same last name who actually helped Davy Crockett defend the Alamo, as he was a long time friend of his from Tennessee.

Marina, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, right? Check out spricket24 latest vid entitled “…retard”, middle of vid, HFW imitation. Not for kiddies, rated F. Your new opening tag line; “Often Imitated, but Never Duplicated”
As a kid, after I got my hair buzzed where I looked like a hedgehog, they called me Mecki, named after a hedgehog mascot.
damn. me too. where are you from?
Grew up in Heppen bei Bielefeld, Westfalen… now live near L.A. Calif.
I’ve been to Bielefeld. I have retired friends in Detmold. The husband used to be head of the hospital in Bad Salzuflen. I’ve toured the region, including Munster, and even went to Berlin by way of Tangermunde!
I would like to know the origin word of contender (was it made by a war)?
Someone already caught the the glass disappearing from in front of the micro wave. sharp….eyes
But I would like to know, The pool picture looks like it was taking in So, Calif. How long has Marina lived here??
why don’t you ask her?
I thought I just did?
Oh…do you mean, why don’t I ask the question some were she will see it?
yeah, pools have distinct regional variations. a well trained pool boy can easily distinguish subtle differences between the a northern and southern california pool as well as the vintage of pool water. california pools are known the world over for there ph balance, smooth chlorine flavor and minimal piss aftertaste due to the high consumption of bottled water in the region.
I don’t remember seeing her with red hair in any of her modeling photos. Must have been when she first arrived here.
@ Buzz since you seem to be a pool connoisseur. Where would you guess that pool is located?
well, judging from the shadows, angle of light and water reflection… that pool, as pictured, is located in broad daylight.
Nothing like a nice warm pool with minimum piss aftertaste.
The pool is now open
“how long has marina lived here?” is not exactly a question directed to marina. it should’ve been: marina, how long have you lived here?
Keep up aLx.
It’s in 3nd person indirect as she does not to answer direct questions from me
I must ask questions in a way that someone else comments on it first. Then starts a dialog with someone else she will answer. [Shhh ..it's a secret]

Interesting. There’s a Zen saying:
Those who say do not know,
Those who know do not say.
I’m wondering if that rule applies to Johnson size as well…
Yeah, but, mine can’t talk.
but then, don’t you have to say that saying? which implies that you don’t know.
Prospero: I wonder what life would be like if they did talk
Buzz: I just repeated the saying, I didn’t make it up.
Perhaps the original sayer of the saying disqualified his knowledge of human nature. Or perhaps the original sayer was saying that people who brag are usually full of it, whereas people with real size and power don’t need to brag
My first real job ( after about a year of schools ) in the Navy was airborne sonar on a P3C Orion. There were three Sensor Stations; I sat at Sensor Station 1. ORION_SS1.
I’d go back if they’d let me fly again.
According to Wikipedia and other unclassified sources the P3C is soon to be replaced with the P8, a military version of the 737.
Yeah, okay, shit HwK: pooh bear, pooh, drewper, hogen, drewhogen, the hogg, large one, the kid,…the rest forget about it I demand privacy.
Hey Teacher
I am going to take a guess that “Koba” is tied to your heritage and relates to the famous Georgian hero from “The Patricide” by Kazbegi.
Perhaps when you were young(er) your family saw in you the same qualities of truth, justice and friendship that Koba held so dear.
At any rate, that’s my thought for a dollar
