Ain’t ain’t so bad!
Perhaps ain’t ain’t so bad? But, I’m using it incorrectly here, right?

[cajun] versus [creole]
…What is a “brain callus”…..knots soul hard a i n ‘ t
lol in english creole, its said like ent, and i realised that today. and most i use itin the rong context
[creole] is my word request…ain’t soul —ent-it…Here in wisconsin with the Menominee Natives; they seem to talk a bit frenchy or is it more latin of the romance languages?…how JA be?
So it is to be….In Wisconsin the Meskwaki gained control of the Fox River system. This river was vital for the fur trade between French Canada and the interior of North America, because it allowed travel from Green Bay in Lake Michigan to the Mississippi River. At first contact, the French estimated the number of Meskwaki as about 6,500. By 1712, the Meskwaki were down to 3,500. …”one world starves like all worlds”…D.I. Pussy

I ain’t used the word much at all hehe.. in fact, aside from quoting someone, that’s (or that is), the first time I’ve used it.
you look sexy why not do a video on pussy (women’s vagina
I don’t use the word ain’t much… i never remember when to use it. XD
I agree that the word “ain’t” is the contraction for the phrase “am not”. However, I disagree with it’s use for the plural, present tense of the verb to be, “are”, as in the phrase “are not”. Isn’t the contraction “aren’t” better in that case. Thanks for all the good research you do.
I don’t use the word ain’t often.
That outfit is ridiculous but she makes it work somehow. I wish the hotforprofits chick would try getup’s like that. She “aint” no Marina though. I like both their styles though.
I ain’t never gonna quit watching you!
First comment!
Hmmm, ain’t for sure yet.
I can’t post on your calendar page for some reason. Says I need to be logged in, but if I go to any other page, it works. I have no idea why that happens.
by the way – November 7 is National Martini Day.
Hi prospero811,
That happens to me also occasionally. I’ll log in and when I navigate to another page, there is no comment text box as if I were logged out, even though I just logged in.
What works for me 99% of the time is to just do a page refresh and the comment box appears. Occasionally, I have to clear the cookies and / or the browser cache, at which point I would need to log in again. The reason that happens is expired/outdated cookies and session IDs .
How about the word etymology… I probably mispelled that.
I ain’t got no word request right now!
WHAT THE…..? !!!! I’m the 465th commentor? !!!
OH,,,How the mighty have fallen….
Hi Marina, Thank you for what you’re doing,it is good stuff.My suggestion would be the word: PYRAMID. I’ve heard it has no real origin or something but i’m not very sure of that.I ask for an investigation.Thanks.bye bye teacher.
Maria, first off your a beautiful. You probably hear it every minute of every day but it still wouldn’t be enough.
I am a student of languages and linguistics. Etymology and Philology have always been hobbies of mine however there are several words I have not yet been able to determine the origins to. Perhaps you can help me out here.
Flirt
G-String
Turmoil
Stash
bug
dweeb
cuddle
condom
jazz
snooze
jiffy.
Sorry I have a much longer list but maybe you can help me shorten it.

word request Redneck
THIS might help
um no viewing your music library didn’t help, i was wondering more about where the word came from, not the rednex techo country music but thanks for the reply
Farmers working in the field under the sun. Sun burned necks.
actually i heard a really different reason where the Term Redneck originated from, Back in the 1940′s there was a Coal mining operation and a faction of people who didn’t conform to the strike wore red neckerchiefs around there neck and thus where the term redneck came from, so i guess i have to recind my request for a word origin toodles
You’re helping me so much thank you! can you explain the word Copacetic ?
word request- pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis
it really is a word… good luck
Hello person15,
Marina answered that in a comment in April. Here is the link to that question and Marina’s comment.
Thanks PK!
I might have answered that very common word with a sarcastic comment. 
hello marina
i have a word request for you
afterlife
Marina! i want to know the origen of the phrase “Thats what they say.”,……and if there is,… who the hell is “They’… THANKS!
I don’t know who they is (are), but they talk alot… Don’t they
haha hell yeah THEY do! lol
word request – tutor
hey marina what is this?
To request? to re-quest
quest: the pursuit of
inquest: a legal inquiry,
request: To ask for
tain’t will this work?
No
request for the for ( with out cost ) Like sun light, airfor the word
Just a reminder for everyone some of us TAs are retyping your word/phase request because your comment lacked the keyword ‘request’ that we are using to search for words that you are asking for HFW to do. If you did put the keyword ‘request’ in your comment then we have logged your comment.
isn’t thanking everybody who makes a word request tedious?
No.
i think it’s a very good idea.
if you don’t get some kind of confirmation you soon get the feeling your contribution is inconsequential and give up.
You wouldn’t want that, would you? You monster!
mijj you would think that.
i suggest a notice on the Left Hand Side titled “Word Requests” .. followed by the rules for making a clear word request that can be easily found.
.. and maybe some indication of how word requests are gathered up and printed out on slips of paper. Marina takes them all to bed with her and she rummages through them and sifts them for her cherished selections. (may as well create some enticing imagery to go along with it all.)
I have a phrase request:
“Net Neutrality”
What is it and what does it mean?
nooooooooo!!
There don’t seem to be any Marina headshots against a greenscreen background!!

Marina you are the best
hey marina
the word stripper , ?????
Thank you stolla for your word request of stripper.
You know if we could figure that firebug program out all we would have to do is just add word request to their comment instead of making a whole new comment.
nooooo .. that isn’t how it works .. anything added to the page has to go through the correct procedures. You cant just add stuff to the page held in the server.
If there isn’t a thing on the page that allows you to modify text (from the server) on the page, then you cant do that in firebug on firefox.
… if you get my drift.
Im not sure if Firebug could help because Im not sure if it can change someones comment. Their is one other option might be on the back end of the servers. Anyways, this it better discussed off site.
I would like to request the origins of a phrase if I may.
Who coined the phrase “coined the phrase”?
A fan of your spin on education!!!
I don’t know if you can check out this word on not
“Dildo”.
Michael Scott
You did use it incorrectly. But, only by your rules. I use Scrabble rules, and in america, if it is a word in common usage, with a common use, that’s what it is and what it means.Ain’t is a complete negative. It can be used for is not, shouldn’t be, anything. It ain’t unusable. It’s kind of like “fuck” in that it is infinitively adaptable. I think the history of words is interesting in that the means of communication is expanded, but maybe you should bring a little more common usage into it.
time for a little hoomer…

Hi Marina, many months ago you had talked about using profane words and that you should be able to say them as it is in the context of teaching about words, and then you mentioned that bleeping out every other word just wouldn’t work.
Here is a video of a guy regressing words back to letters.

Marina you said earlier you are a good cook.
Beautiful a good cook, smart ,young and yet you are unattached, unmarried, unwed, footloose and fancy-free.
Are you just to picky?
Maybe you’re just a little cinchy?
Do you have any good home style Russian recipes you can share.
I know a few Russian dishes. But I cook Southern,Tex-Mex, Italian and BBQ for the most part.
I sometimes say ain’t, but not today.
I was just thinking about the disasterous aftermath of the Athens’ Olympic arenas, that was reported weeks ago. You know, with all the abandonement, finances with maintenance costs, vandalism, and the looting by GYPSIES.
“Y” is a substitute vowel,
A E I O U & sometimes Y
Therefore, Gypsy sometimes has vowels, and sometimes doesn’t. Perhaps our Dear Teacher will do a vid for each case?
WORD REQUEST: Gypsy
Hey Fianchetto1. Don’t forget there name. So we can reference back to them.
Tnks Capt. I was watching too.
Think of it as an alternate player, the 2nd string of a basketball team.
When the 1st string team is off the floor the 2nd string comes in to play.
just as “a” can be pronounced differently in different words (fart, ass), “y” can stand for different sounds. in english, “y” is an ordinary vowel as well as a glide. a glide is something between a vowel and a consonant, that’s why it’s sometimes also called “semivowel”.
y as a vowel: gypsy, fly, hyper.
y as a glide: yawn, yard, yeah.
in german, “y” is a vowel only.
Thank you animalntaz for your word request of gypsy.
Actually, I was only trying to ‘second’ the motion, and ensure that it had the word “request” included. I will abide the format you reccommended in your email henceforth:-)
Thanks, guys.
Ciao,

Oh..Ok thats ok then. You can second the request. Marina encourages that by making all word request show up on the current lesson.
does anyone have any idea when did M do her first plain background vid? … how far back should i start looking? weeks? … months? .. always did them?
Hey Mijj as far as I can tell the Karaoke video was the first with a plain back ground. I went through the rest and they all had backgrounds.

Thanks, Cap .. i was beginning to suspect that.
i started going through them from the beginning – then i realised maybe i shoud’ve started at the other end … and then got distracted by a shiny thing.
Hi, where did the phrase “Cat’s got your tongue” come from?
Thanks! Joe 409
Thanks Joe409 for the phrase request of Cat got your tongue.
In an unrelated topic (sorry, the FAQ said the best way to get in touch with you is to post on the latest word), as someone genuinely interested in philology, would you mind posting a bibliography or syllabus of some sort, so that I might one day be as smart and attractive as you? (Philology makes people hotter, right? Well, Nietszche was a philologist, so maybe it’s something else.)
Hello again, Marina
I’d like to know the origin of the word “witch” and “witcher”. Is “witcher” a proper masculine form of “witch”?
Did you play or read “The Witcher”?
And another request:
What is you favourite slavic-origin word? And is there any slavic-origin word you hate or you are shame on?
Which witch?
Which or witcher?
(Sorry. I had to do a play on words.)
Thanks for the word request of witch or witcher.

Thanks mitttheman for your word request of haint
I don’t use the word aint at all
In fact I think that if everybody starts using the word ain’t, it will be accepted is matter of popularity …
I never use “ain’t” as it makes the user sound a little less intelligent than they really are.
i dont use aint because i am a saint…
Saint Felicity . Congratz you really are a saint.
i seldom use ain’t in everyday speech, unless i feel in the mood to speak dialectually or am emotionally-charged…
and i ain’t gonna agree with those that say your outfit in this vid was distractin’…
it ain’t the outfit, it’s you…

Hey Marina from Bulgaria,
Excellent job you’re doing so far,but I didn’t help but notice that you haven’t still investigated the word “tennis”.As I used to play professional tennis,I am intrigued by the origin of this noble sport(It was first played in the french court by the nobles and even kings,right?),but I’m not sure about the word itself…
A trusty student of yours,
Evgeny
This French game was called “jeu de paume” because it was played with the palm of the hand. When people played, they used to say “Tenez!” to their opponent (which could be translated approximately by the expression “here it is”) and when the English version was developed, the word “tenez” became “tennis”.
Thanks celebornmars,it turns out I was close with my suggestions :p
Thanks, gendata, for your WORD REQUEST: Tennis
Ciao,
Fianchetto
Very interesting indeed! But I have to admit that your outfit today was distracting (thank you very much)
and I ain’t lying. 
In my grammar school, using ain’t resulted in:
(1st offence) writing it 50 times
(2nd offence) writing is twice the first offence or 100 times.
(3rd offence) writing it three times the first and second offences combined, or 450 times.
(4th offence) was a meeting with the parents and writing it 1000 times. I never quite got the mathematical rationale for that.
Again, like lostinhere, it’s a Catholic school thing…
Was traveling, Doroguya, so I have a lot of schooling to catch up on… nice to view you again.
100 times = …
ain’t ain’t ain’t ain’t ain’t ain’t ain’t ain’t ain’t ain’t
ain’t ain’t ain’t ain’t ain’t ain’t ain’t ain’t ain’t ain’t
ain’t ain’t ain’t ain’t ain’t ain’t ain’t ain’t ain’t ain’t

ain’t ain’t ain’t ain’t ain’t ain’t ain’t ain’t ain’t ain’t
ain’t ain’t ain’t ain’t ain’t ain’t ain’t ain’t ain’t ain’t
ain’t ain’t ain’t ain’t ain’t ain’t ain’t ain’t ain’t ain’t
ain’t ain’t ain’t ain’t ain’t ain’t ain’t ain’t ain’t ain’t
ain’t ain’t ain’t ain’t ain’t ain’t ain’t ain’t ain’t ain’t
ain’t ain’t ain’t ain’t ain’t ain’t ain’t ain’t ain’t ain’t
… that’s a lotta “ain’t”s
Watch out that they don’t bite. Especially if there red ain’ts
must be a picnic somewhere….
writing it 50 times is as easy as this:
“it 50 times”
That one got a detention. . .
What is the term for a word (I will call it a word, because there are no spaces in it as would be in a phrase) that is a sentence run together for humerous effect? It is not a portmanteau, but a mongrelization of a commonly used (and thus easily recognized) saying. Example: “It started raining ten minutes after I washed my car, but whattayagonnado?
Don’t tell me this doesn’t exist. (Maybe it doesn’t, but I don’t want you to tell me.)

for another video could you find out about the origin if the word “dominatrix” thanks (russian women are the best)

that was a great video u look so hot and sexy and that is the word i want u to findout about the origin of the word “sexy”
I went to a Catholic grade school, and they burned “ain’t” out of my vocabulary.
Marina whats this???
I am sorry… I will shut up now then..
Warner Bros. was one of the first Tv studios. They only had silent films back then. So he couldn’t understand why people would want to hear them talk when the films were using subtitles.
hey marina, what about calves?
as in.. theres a baby cow thats called a calf right? and i think a baby whale is also a calf.
but then we have the muscles in our legs called that too
(i only ask because my calves are aching like hell)
Why are they aching?
Perhaps they got separated from the herd.

Welcome Back Missy.
Mike
I had a look at your: [Sex Sells - What Youtube Has Taught Me]
You seem a little disappointed that info can be more effectively communicated when modulated using sexuality. (though maybe your opinion is that the attention is grabbed, but the info isnt getting through)
But i’m not sure why you’re disappointed. You’re just discovering that dry recitation of information doesn’t fix in the mind. It needs the senses to make it meaningful.
And sexuality heightens sensitivity/imagination/presence .. all the good stuff the brain finds useful when acquiring information. (of course, there’s sexuality, and there’s sexuality – it doesn’t have to be blatant to be effective .. in fact subtle is probably better)
Making broad use of the senses when communicating info makes it more real and not just dry abstracted detail. Of course, to be effective it should be modulated in an intelligent way.
so what are you saying?
what i’m saying is …
“You seem a little disappointed that info can be more effectively communicated when modulated using sexuality. (though maybe your opinion is that the attention is grabbed, but the info isnt getting through)
But i’m not sure why you’re disappointed. You’re just discovering that dry recitation of information doesn’t fix in the mind. It needs the senses to make it meaningful.

Making broad use of the senses when communicating info makes it more real and not just dry abstracted detail. Of course, to be effective it should be modulated in an intelligent way.”
oho, in a funny mood today, eh?
what’s your goddamn fucking point?
lol, yeh.
i used up my daily allocation of meandering prose.
basically .. sex isn’t just a valid influence/method of modulating communication, it’s essential (in the sense of indispensible) .. of course, i mean in the broadest sense, not just the bawdy blatant sense.
so, what’s the broadest sense of sex, then?
i .. i don’t know!
what do you reckon?
what the hell? you came up with it, so you ought to have some idea of what you’re talking about.
i don’t think i ever tried to convince anyone that i knew what i was talking about.
don’t you ever do that? .. ramble on and see where it goes? .. or do you always make sense?
aLx always makes sense
maybe you incorrectly guaged my mood in that ‘sex sells’ video?
i didnt intend to come across as though i am disappointed that sex is more interesting than… well, no sex.
the primary reason for making that video was to prove that i personally do not use sex to get attention on youtube, because someone had recently started commenting my videos and accusing me of having no talent, because ‘only guys watch my videos because of the way i look’
i was insulted he said that to me, because i AM talented with voices, and until that ‘sex sells’ video, i had not intentionally tried to lure viewers in by looking or sounding sexy. im flattered to think that guys watch me because they find me attractive, but i have never intentionally used my appearance to get views. Im on youtube for my voices and acting, not because of how i look. besides, im not that good looking in real life anyways.
it was just to prove a point. and you know what? it worked.
as for being disappointed that sex sells.. im not disappointed really. i think its a shame that someone as intelligent and pleasant and lovely as marina gets alot of views solely because of her appearance, because i know what a great person she is on the inside. i originally started watching her because someone dared me to try her voice. i didnt think i would ever be able to do it but after marina encouraged me, i did it! (like.. 10 times now.. im a bit obsessed with marinas voice now
)
but i know the facts about life. im guilty of it myself; if theres a sexy thumbnail on a youtube video i am 10000000000000000000000 times more likely to click it than if it’s a thumbnail of say, a car or something else im not that interested in.
even a silly cupcake girl like me is a prime example of how sex does sell
and im not ashamed to admit it.
-MC crosses her fingers that the comment will work because it took her ages to type-

man, i didnt think this would turn into such a debate haha.
i just want my smilie cookie now.

I’ll bring the milk.

ahahahaa you always have smilie cookies and cakes for me now. ahahaha
i bet it does. :/
i should’ve become a cook or something. hey, you know anthony bourdain?
Nein, wer ist er?
he’s a pretty cool guy. was a cook, chef, whatever … wrote books. one of them is “kitchen confidential”. funny and interesting. he’s got this tv show where he’s traveling all over the world … eating food and all.
sex sells
lol … i love this bit of research ….
ok .. i’m going to forge ahead in the vague exploratory style that aLx dislikes so much …
I dont think that’s true. No offence to Marina, but superficially attractive girls are a dime a dozen. Marina makes use of her appearence with wit and intelligence and provides a tongue-in-cheek exaggurated (sort of self parody on occasion) style of communicating. (I’m assuming this is deliberate – she’s an intelligent person.) And i think it’s that combination that is making her popular, not simply her appearance.
And i think that’s an essential combination. Superficial appearance wont keep people coming back. There’s no communication there. And, i guess, in essence effective communication is a sort of psychic sexual (in the heady sense rather than the body sense) encounter. And the more effective the communication, the greater the sexual undercurrent (theory #392). So i guess, if you’re effectively communicating your material .. then there will be people who will accuse you of succeeding because of your looks. But that’s because they don’t know what’s going on within themselves. They confuse communication with overt sexuality and sexuality with looks.
ps .. when i say communicating .. i mean .. where what is said has significance and meaning as opposed to being just a sequence of sounds representing data.
(ps .. i write stuff into Notepad first then copy it across .. i always assume i’ll mess up)
she was talking about views. not about people coming back. that’s different. you’re talking about something else.
anyway, despite your missing the subject, though … how about elaboraing on this:
my question is, how do you know what’s going on in people, and they themselves don’t?
unrelated, but this came to mind.
dude, i think your trying to make this more complicated than what it is. humans have a sexual imperative. exploit this imperative if you want to get the attention of a human. simple as sex and candy. sex is the most basic uncomplicated activity humans have got left. before one’s intellect can ponder psychic sexual communication, the monkey brain grunts ” fuck good ” gets stoned on dopamine, leaving the intellect to reclaim some dignity by spouting something about the subjective interpretation of theme and character of consensual psycho-sexual social roles.
ps. this was my alternative sex and candy link, had to go with bow wow wow, though. she’s cute and i’m a fucking ape.
well .. my position is simply:
psychic sexuality isn’t a separable quality .. it’s an aspect of any part of our world view (to some degree or other) and behaviour.
There may be blunt overt sex reward systems that psychologists have managed to bump up against … but that doesn’t bely the subtlety of the all pervasiveness of psychic sexuality in our perceptions.
… and that goes double for communication.
i ask in a leisurely manner without interest in provoking an argument that interrupts the entertaining nature of this discussion. could you explain “psychic sexuality”?

.. my stuff was meandering and unstructured .. the complications were more about my lack of clarity than any complication in what i was describing (my poor use of english).. but .. because i’m just vaguely inventing and examining ideas means it’s flimsy and is more for building on rather than defending .. (because it’s a vague exploration, there’s no defense of it) ..
plus my friend in MA came on .. so i ran away and hid.
ky’s state bird! go cards!
bill the cat
thats cool, needed an escape. don’t look at it as an argument. just another means of exploring concepts. what in the hell do any of us have to defend?
i guess normally criticism is useful for clearing up vague ideas, but i think i created such a huge mishmash of vague notions that the idea of going into detail in any of it made me feel weary and scared.
I still like the idea of all pervading psychic sexuality as the basis for all perception / activity / and communication .. i just have to figure out what it means.
yeah, let me know. the idea sounds very surreal challenging to simply define that. may cause more harm to your concept than good.
lol .. yeh .. well .. .. ready for more unstructured random exloratory waffling?
.. i have this “thing”, you know .. where .. you can invent a phrase that has some instinctive resonance, and then discover its explicit meaning in a way that may or may not satisfy reason.
Tho, i have to stress .. i place far greater importance on instinct and feeling than i do on explicit reasoning and logic, etc. .. you know the drill.
so .. psychic sexuality .. i guess that goes along with my idea that sexuality is a fundamental force of the universe, not merely some organic mess of chemical reactions evolved to induce behavior resulting in reproduction.
psychic? … basically to accent that it’s not founded on physical .. and has that tinge of wacky paranormal to it that leads it nicely away from the realm of normal scientific definition.
and sexuality? .. because the forces of attraction, bonding and closeness, etc are fundamental in the non-scientific subjective universe. Human qualities are as elemental in the subjective universe as photons or quarks are in the “objective” energy measurement scientific analysis universe.
what started this discussion anyway?
I have always wondered, since at some point words like :
have not was changed to haven’t
does not was changed to doesn’t
could not was changed to couldn’t
can not was changed to can’t
would not was changed to wouldn’t
has not was changed to hasn’t
are not was changed to aren’t
should not was changed to shouldn’t
shall not was changed to shan’t (I could be wrong about that one)
Then, how come ‘will not’ wasn’t changed to ‘willn’t'?
because english is just one of those annoying languages that breaks all its own rules
hehe
Bob Hope had a skit on TV:
Straight man: “You shan’t do that.”
Hope: “Oh, yes I shan!”
It’s documented here. You just weren’t (you missed that one!) born soon enough to have enjoyed it. I think it died because after speaking it, your tongue feels like you just asked it to do something unnatural.
The Brits still use whilst, which, although not a contraction, somehow looks like one.
Thanks for showing me this CampKohler.
Yeah I forgot bout weren’t 
Who da thunk it? 
or ..will not = win’t
“This square peg win’t go in that round hole!”
if the od of the square peg is smaller than the id of the hole it will go in that round hole.
that’s useful information, stoke.
thanks.
Funny you mentioned the square peg reference mijj. Just the other day I saw this on tv Square Peg, Round Hole

The same in French : Normally and officially I AM = JE SUIS but in Picardy where I live many people say EUJ CHUS. All this from Latin EGO SUM = I AM.
The number of dialects in a country depends not on the size of the country but rather on the number of isolated areas. So in Moscow and Vladivostock they speak the same Russian. But in Kavkaz every valley has a different dialect or even a different language.
I just wanted to say thanks for all that you do and request a word. Vermilion. Keep up the great work.
VERMILION is Latin : In latin VERMIS = WORM.
Some worms were used for making a red color.
In Slavic CHERV’ means “worm” and CHERVËN “red vermilion”.
Don’t stop there!
taupe
mauve
fuscia
chartreuse (The color of a phony treasure map?)
maroon (The color of a shipwrecked person after ten years in the sun?)
magenta
cerise
cyan
Now you can stop.
Hi, dictionaricdotcom
Actually “cherv” doesn’t mean “worm” but larval phase of insects.
CHERVËN mainly means “red” in several slavic languages.
Polish “Armia Czerwona” Croation “Crvena armija” (probably Serbian and Bosniac as well) for “The Red Army”.
Western and southern slavic word for “June” is usually very similar to CHERVËN.
Taupe – adhesive used to mend a faux pas
mauve – How you get all your belongins from your old chateau to your new chateau
fuscia – atomic process of joining two French atoms to produce vast amounts of energ
chartreuse (The color of a phony treasure map?)
maroon (The color of a shipwrecked person after ten years in the sun?)
magenta – a genta that belongs to me
cerise – the largest asteroid in the asteroid belt, and the only one that is spheroid
cyan – Pining for a lover, I cyan I cyan if she loves me, she does, too

Very nicely done. I didn’t have any idea there was so much behind aint!
Hotforwords,
I have to know. What is the origin of the word seven. Not the value but why is seven, seven. Its my favorite number and it is tattooed on my arm. I would be so grateful.
My word request is the most complicated word I’ve come across that a dictionary never helped me comprehend: nihilistically
Latin once again : NIHIL means NOTHING.
NIHILISM is a political state of mind aiming to destroy everything for building a new world.
Perhaps the video on floccinaccilihinihilipification would be a good idea
my word is language? where did that come from?
LANGUAGE is taken from the French LANGAGE “speech”. LANGUE = TONGUE.
In 1066 the French invaded England and brought with them many words that replaced the old-saxon words.
For example FRITH has been replaced by PEACE (in French PAIX).
where do ipost a word
Hi, Just post a word here
Like the world the US doesn’t use words in some of the different regions. Ain’t… isn’t commonly used in the western area only in the southern areas as far as I know. I don’t think I’ve used ain’t since elementary school.
Where the heck is PAGEDOLL! Did he fall of the face of the earth? Did he go on vacation without checking out with me. Damn! Where is the hall monitor when you need one?
OH yea where is pd
I email him a while back on his YouTube page and he didn’t respond. So He may have just quit all together.
There’s 2 types of ain’t s I like
1. “You ain’t so bad”.
2. “You ain’t nothing”.
I’d like to request the word “rocking chair”
Ciao,

this is fucking annoying.
Correction: It may be easy, but thought it would be fun as well.
Hello hot for words, being that yesterday was talk like I pirate day, and that pirates are both exciting and fun, I wanted to know the origin of the the phase “Me Hartys”. I maybe be easy but thought it might be fun as well. love what you do for internet by not only educating but doing while being smart and beautiful.
Hope you had a chance to speak like a pirate with that beautiful russian accent.
Warm Regards,

I “ain’t” surprised that there was confusion. There is much confusion in words that may “sound” bad but not necessary be bad or even misused. “Ain’t” containing a “not” derivative comes off negatively. Some words have hard consonants that sounds bad like “puss” or “cock” (as related to guns, of course). Some words have an unintended cultural bias embedded in them, like “niggardly” meaning miserly or cheap which I think originated from Sweden. Some words have taken on derogatory implications from TV shows, like he’s so “gay” which now means he is stupid from South Park. So, to be PC (politically correct), do we avoid these words? English is a movable feast… just be aware that your target audience may have a political agenda.
Marina! … one little detail about your vid!
from the content:
ain’t = “am not” or “are not”
Your video title is:
“Ain’t” ain’t so bad
but that isn’t
“Ain’t” am not so bad
or
“Ain’t” are not so bad
so your
“Ain’t” ain’t so bad
has improper useage of “ain’t” !!
Am i right? Did i learn correctly from your lesson?
did i catch a deliberate error? (style, rather than grammar, for titles)
do i get a pat on the head?
you said it was wrong under the video!!
Perhaps ain’t ain’t so bad? But, I’m using it incorrectly here, right?
You get a pat of butter on your head.

Word request: “Marm” as in “School-marm”. I know what it means; but why are there only school marms? Why not office-marms, or business-marms, etc.
Do you consider yourself a marm?
Without even looking it up, I’m going to guess it is a vocal smooshing of the word madame in the Old West. Perhaps the term school-madame was a little to close for comfort to that other kind of madame they often had* in those times.
*Yes, I know.

hey torontosadist aka erniefitz aka efitzgerald aka efitzgerarld aka randomletters99 aka torontosadist..how’s the aircraft inspector job goin, ya drunk?

“Not too bad” would be better.

when marina was asked what her future plans were she responded, i ain’t going to stop till i’m number 1 in deutschland
The future disclaimer, rather dark. does not reflect the belief system of the poster…yet raises some interesting thought…
wow … that’s great!! .. favorited!
I do not use the word. I am a school teacher, and I do a lot of formal writing so I try not to use any contractions. It makes it a real pain when I e-mail or text my students. They are so much faster than I am anyway.
Word Request: CENTS & PENCE
Do you mean SCENTS and PENIS ?
You sound like a redneck if you use ain’t! Here’s another word for you. “Oofda” That will make you sound norwegian.
Tah, instead of pronouncing to in becoming popular.
Bush uses it all the time, it may well be a regional dialect for some parts of the country.
If one would use tah, ain’t or other mispronunciation of English words a linguistic profiler could find out much about the speaker.
a linguist would never say that those are “mispronunciatons”.
sorry…meant that last post but add (not ad) the word “is”
Why does everyone say your when it you’re?
or yore
It’s easier to write and people tend to be lazy in a since that it makes typing faster to shorten words in a comment or forum. I tend to use it quit a bit but auto spell checker corrects it for me or at least underlines it
so I will correct it.
Perhaps that is why you use “your” instead of “you’re”, but I think most people don’t even get the difference between those 2 words…IMHO
hey erniefitz….you the same drunken inspector that goes in half crocked everyday at De Haviland? Fk off…seriously…go find another job old FART!

What? No 8-inch floppies? Slackers!
Seriously, that was a well-made video, if a little puppy-lovish.
I firmly disagree with Marina on this one.
“Ain’t” is best kept in the improper usage department in the English language and used like a sword for heavy handed emphasis. Like when possibly-soon-to-be V.P. Senator Joe Biden (D. DE) said in a speech something to the effect that it was patriotic to pay taxes, somebody, like myself, would likely get disgusted and might make use of the term in question this-a-way: “I ain’t buying that for a second.” And if I was chewing tobacco, a juicy gob o’ spit on the ground would fit as finalizing punctuation to the retort. Except I hain’t ever chewed tobacco, so that wouldn’t never been commited by yours’ truly.
I use the word ain’t a lot! And I think since the word is so commonly used, and language changes over time, that these days it should be correct in all of those uses. I mean, I ain’t a philolgist, but it ain’t like I ain’t making a good point. Ain’t I?
fuck proper.
Thanks for the Wexner Center ref buzzword.
I see that they are showing the “Andy Warhol: A Documentary film” which I’ve missed on PBS in the past. I see Laurie Anderson narrates the film. I think it is this Laurie Anderson.
Laurie Anderson – O Superman
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hhm0NHhCBg
yeah i think your right. i first saw laurie anderson when i was a kid staying up late watching pbs. it was o superman, i didn’t know what the hell any of it meant but i loved it then.
i was taking a performing arts class and we were to create and perform our own work. a student who was a lesbian did a piece about female sexuality, she told us to close our eyes, she passed out flowers and had us explore the flower… symbol for femininity. she said in a soothing voice, “explore the flower, touch, smell, taste the flower” so i popped the whole damn thing in my mouth chomped on it and swallowed. i fucking loved that class. my performance piece included blood, as all really bad performance art should, that and nudity. i wasn’t naked.
the andy warhol exhibit is supposed be huge, a weeks worth of material available. i shouldn’t pass up the opportunity. some cool shit for sure.
mijj, you know of laurie anderson?
yeh .. i remember the O, Superman thing. .. but that’s about all.
do you remember anything about andy warhol? he’s a artist.
Don’t like to let myself venture too far into the night to defy laws of tradition … but the bass player aint no slouch.
I have vague memories of Laurie Anderson…Lost Art of Conversation, stiil at it , seems.
the bass player is good! never encountered this reed & anderson piece.
lou reed, yeah. love lou reed. and that brings us back to andy warhol doesn’t it?
well mr buzzword .. i cant say i like warhol too much … i like the ideas of his though… i’m not very keen on Art, though i do like art.
my preferences were with surrealism .. the surrealists were like the kind of heavy metal of the art world ..
… i’m not particularly sophisticated. Salvador Dali and Miro and that lot will do me fine.
well at least you got to appreciate andy’s hair
lol yeh .. his hair was tremendous. Didn’t he have various coloured wigs for various occasions?
damn fine idea!
Andy?…Kobe?

People are always talking about how their conscience nags at them, and I would love to know where the word conscience comes from. All I can ever think of is the part in the movie As Good As It Gets when Helen Hunt is trying to spell the word and her line is, “Con and Science? That CAN’T be right!” LOL. Thanks!

Hello, Marina!
Congrats on the great site! I know this is a bit unusual, but here goes… I was told to coin a word for my college writing class, and I came up with -
Dormet – (door-’may; ‘door-may), noun. Etymology:Middle English, from Latin dormitorium, from dormire- dormitorium or dorm- a residence hall providing rooms for individuals or for groups usually without full kitchens and French, from Middle French, alteration of gromet boy servant, vintner’s assistant- gourmet- a connoisseur of good or delicate food.
1)food made for the delicate and discriminating tastes of an epicurean using only small appliances.
2)a connoisseur of food cooked without the aid of a full kitchen.
it’s on my site (the address is in my profile).
Keep up the great work! Intelligence really IS sexy!!
Hi Erich, how do you like Google Sites? I have one, and still have it on private until I develop it. I like your Dormet page. Very nice.
Hi Eric did you try Wikipedia. I know a lot of people doesn’t like it but you could get your word put in there and add on to it as you come up with more etymologies and others can add on to the word also.
My dear teacher, Marina, frequently I’ve heard you refer to people from the past who have said something, done something, or coined some new word or phrase. All those that you mention have influenced the English language in some way or other. But in my opinion, through the use of modern media, the Internet, the ease that information circumnavigates the globe these days, and because of the huge number of people who regularly watch your awesome videos, I believe that your influence upon the current vernacular and the English language in general from this point forward is going to be profoundly significant.
Your sexy and humourous videos are not only entertaining, but they provide a valuable source of learning and education to those of us who thirst for knowledge and are smart enough to keep watching.
“American English Marina Style!” will always be your legacy.
With love
Loved the outfit and the new visual effects on this Video
Hi Marina,
Ain’t nuttin but a hound-dog! Hhhhooowwwlllllin’ all the time!!!!
Word Request: Gravy Train?
Sexual Sadist. That is what my exhusband wants to be when he grows up..
Sorry to hear that. What is he now
A juvenile de-dink-quent?
ya got the “dink” part right. He’s just a drunk that surfs the net looking for slaves lmao
Tell him he can’t do both, sorry
can’t tell him anything cuz #1 he’s drunk #2 he’s insane #3 he’s delusional #4 he already knows it all #5 he’s dinky
and #6 he’s drunk, insane, delusional and dinky 
erniefitz
you wanna tell him?
isn’t being chained up to the internet looking for sex slaves the best place for him? — keeps him out of the way, at least.
Good thinkin!! Keeps him off the streets, hopefully…just a matter of time til he acts out tho.
well .. maybe a red hot poker up his ass will do him the world of good.
I can give you his address if you’re so inclined to go over and do that to him lol
He’s on this site hoping for a date with Marina lmao
Poor guy is in total denial, delusional, drunk and stoned pretty much any time he’s got his eyes open. He’s got issues.
oh no .. can’t oblige .. i took a test to confirm it .. shoving things up people’s asses isn’t my thing.
but you say he’s your ex anyway.
plus .. everyone here is delusional and is hoping for (and expecting) a date with M. (though i think most of us aren’t drunk and stoned)
what do you mean, “everyone”? wtf.
oh sorry .. i thought M sent everybody the application form.
good points you make
He’s probably gonna win the date with M…he’s a sadist, afterall and isn’t that what every woman dreams of being with? lol
oo!
your ex may be delusional (obvioulsy is) .. but M is a brutally hard nosed realist. .. that “probably” is in the same league as the moon being made of creme cheese.
the fuck are you talking about?
i … i don’t know!
so, how did you become aware your ex was here?
your question made me read the whole thread. now i wanna know, too.
Just a wild ass guess, she was snooping on him and found this site he was commenting on by three or four different names.
you’re almost clever enufff cap
he’s simply a “simp”
way tooo ezzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Dear Marina,
For your homework, I seldom use the word, “ain’t.” The only exception is if it’s part of a song.
Marina, please tell us you are a great cook. From your videos, we see your household is very clean, and your clothing is neat and well-washed. So, you have great intelligence, great beauty, great sense of humor, great attractiveness, great at housecleaning, great at laundry. Only one thing is needed to complete your image as The Perfect Woman: Please tell us you’re a great cook!
Your dear student, seesixcm6
P.S. (Hint to Marina: Please reply and post, “seesixcm6: Yes, I’m a great cook.”)
seesixcm6: Yes, I’m a great cook.
Aint’ you sweet !
I’ll bet at that!! Marina, is , I guess…. Perfect.. ooh… now is the time to bust out my own quote
” There is no such thing as perfection, it would lack imperfection, ” …. footnote
“unless your called hotforwords”
D”accord, James… IMO, even her ‘imperfections’ (bloopers, foibles, quirkiness) are perfect!
Ciao,
Fianchettp
совершенная Marina, Thank you, thank you, thank you! Now I know The Perfect Woman does exist, with great intelligence, great beauty, great humor, and she’s great at cleaning, laundry and cooking, too! My happiness is that The Perfect Woman does exist, and I’ve seen and heard her.
I’m much too modest to think I should father your children, we must find you someone with the wealth of Bill Gates, the intellect of Tolstoy, and the looks of…well, my looks are OK, but my wealth and intellect parts aren’t as good as Gates or Tolstoy.
Your dear student, seesixcm6
the flamingos are back.
damn, seesixcm6, you missed an opportunity …
… that should have been:
P.S. (Hint to Marina: Please reply and post, “seesixcm6: Yes, I’m a great cook and want to bear your children.”)
Hey don’t push it… W
e don’t want ” your teacher hot for words is back changing a shitty nappy and wiping puke off her dress”
i think james, that it would be seesixcm6 doing the wiping and changing … anyway .. i’ll update the hint as you suggest ..
… the hint should be (version 1.3)…
P.S. (Hint to Marina: Please reply and post, “seesixcm6: Yes, I’m a great cook and want to bear your children, but, Hey, don’t push it.”)
mijj,
Even I wasn’t positive Marina would tell me she’s a great cook! See, when you ask a woman a yes/no question, you must be prepared for either answer! You probably guessed I believe everything she says. In her “Karaoke” video, Marina said she was “the greatest Karaoke singer” and of course I’d sing with her! Happy, seesixcm6
“See, when you ask a woman a yes/no question, you must be prepared for either answer!”
lol yeh ..
.. or no answer and a look selected from a spectrum of impenetrable, mystifying looks.
Marina – I’d like to noodle round with your vids and see what i can do with putting backgrounds in and generally mess with the images. No real purpose .. just want to see what i can do. Do i have your permission?
“no” is fine by me if you like, because at least i have a clear position.
(i asked before somewhere but i got no answer – i dont know if you didn’t see the question, or if you didn’t like to give an explicit “no”)
Other fans seem to be doing that anyway.
Many have been complimentary, suchas
the wallpapers, cards and buttons
Fans have provided a number of videos.
Hot for Teacher and Animachina come to mind.
Oops ! Machinanima – damn dyslexia!
yeh … but, i don’t want to begin a habit of being cavalier with other people’s material (even if M doesn’t particularly care about who’s doing what to her own material).
plus .. it makes a huge amount of difference to me when i get into the depths of effort if i’ve taken care of all possible distracting pitfalls before i begin. When things get tough, my mind has a habit of seeking out any possible distraction and way to undermine effort – i know for myself things are a lot smoother if even the most simple detail is taken care of right up front.
So i need explicit permission to even start, even if M thinks it’s silly of me to consider asking. A “no” is better than no answer so i can abandon the idea or find another subject.
and me!!
Go for it!
oh! .. whew! .. what a relief!
thanks.
I was going to say, I’ve never known Marina
as one who would discourage an avid student.
James is a primary example – LOL!
“Go for it!” covers it all. I love it when hot
women say that… I get all intense inside
That “go for it” is absolutely essential for me.
I’m the kind of person who, despite situations where things have never gone wrong or have been a problem before, somehow creates situations where things go wrong or become problems.
- especially where it comes to admin.
eg: “you dont need to bother clearing with x/y/z .. people do this all the time” .. “followed by – you’ll have to ditch all that work, they’re irked you never asked for permission” … etc.
so .. i’ve developed a habit of trying to clear out even the most silly of possible potential glitches right up front.
plus .. yes .. that personal touch .. yes .. that has definite magical powers. It’s a touchstone.
See you got a pat on the head.
well .. technically “no” .. cos a pat on the head would be for an accomplishment.
So this counts as an an encouraging … erm .. what would a person do to physically encourage someone?
actually .. i like that word “encourage” in this context.
The go ahead brings heart to the meandering project.
Mmmmm, I’m having a beer.
But I ain’t feeling’ too rich.
Cause Marina has a six pack.
And I don’t think a case will get me one of those.
That is a heck of a nice outfit.
But what do you call the top with the scarf.
And I’ve never seen a mini skirt with a puppy pocket.
Speaking of which, where is Super Dog Kobe?
Is he done flying yet?
That would have been a sight to see Kobe floating along and across in the background.
Maah, ain’tcha gonna let me down?
I saw Kobe sailing over the Midwest,he seemed interested in the Driftless Area and may have been biting/popping balloons to get down to the trees. Maybe they looked like big green and brown fire hydrants.
Watch out for yellow rain.
There used to be an old rhyme that ended “and don’t You eat that yellow snow”,I don’t remember the 1st part.
Don’t be a naughty Eskimo!
Nanook, no no…
Oh yeeeahhh,forgot about that song,Zappa was ever the strange One. I wonder how Moon Unit and Dweezil(sp?)are doing.
I’m preparing the most important meal of the day,coffee!
That little turn at the end where she walks off….
scrumpdidlyicious, made my lips smack….
I hear Ya! If the word “cute-iful” doesn’t exist,it should!
Maybe there should be a thread where We get 5 words to describe Marina,then,She takes Her favorite 5 and makes a vid.
Could someone please tell me what is wrong with this damn cocoment thing. I signed up and now the bastard want let me back in to vote. I believe it’s a piece of stinky.
Hi Mike. I love CoComment. I’ll help you. Let me know where you are signing in. Is it the bottom of the contest page, or the main CoComment page?
If you are having issues on the contest page, wait until the page loads fully. There is a ton of stuff to load. It may take many seconds for a slower connection.
If you need more help, message me on my YT account.
I waited till the whole page loaded. Then I clicked on your comment to leave you a tick mark. A screen pops up and says I have to log in. I try to log in with my email or my user name and password but nothing works. I says what I put in is invalid
Hi Mike, try this: go to the CoComment Home page and login in there.
I’m having you go there so you don’t have to wait for the contest page to load all the time. http://www.cocomment.com/
The username is NOT case sensitive, so that is not an issue.
The password is case sensitive. You either have caps on now, or you had caps on when you created the password. Try logging with your password in caps.
If that fails, there is a link to the right of the login that says, “Forget Your Password”, click on that and they will send you a new password.
It was the case sensitive password. I had it all in caps and I was putting it in small letters. So I logged into cocomments and changed my password to small letters. Thanks pal for all the help. I ranted and raved over my on short comings. I am tired anyway. I just finished the yard work and I am a little edgy tonight. Smelling diesel smoke for four hours will do that to

I’m glad that all is OK now. I know what you mean about yard work. Got lots of that coming up myself. Get a beer and some rest.

There should be a service that would merge the two and allow all of the comments of either to be seen as one; you post once on the service and it goes both places. Things could get a bit tricky keeping track of who is where, though.
Perhaps it could also filter out comments based on user-supplied keywords, greatly reducing the childish clutter (which I suppose one could defeat by writing something like “Would you be so kind as to show us those that always arrive at your destination shortly before the rest of you”).
no! . this place is private .. we dont want no riff raff in ‘ere!
hang on a minute … shut up about telling M how attractive she is for a minute!
if “ain’t” is a contraction of “am not” and “are not” why isn’t it:
a’n't
and where does the letter “i” come from in “ain’t”.
[Wild guess]Could it be that “i” was originally an apostrophe standing for a missing letter?[/Wild guess]
ain’t was probably spoken first and then phonetically spelled. like most words it originated in spoken language, which often ignores the contrived laws of grammar. don’t make the mistake of putting the cart before the horse.
bloody carts n horses!
pah!
hrm… bloody carts n horses, made me think of this nick cave tune.
To quote Frank Zappa,
“the crux of the biscuit is the apostrophe”

Word Request: addictive, as in the Hot For Words videos are highly addictive. Well, one out of three ain’t bad, huh? I think this would be a great word to study.
I went to comment on your comment on the Danny verses Marina week end but that dang cocoment want let me sign in to tick your name.
You noticed all the blue stars I gave you, huh?
I was going to give you a bunch of clicks but cocoment want let me sign in. So I tried to register again and it told me a person by that name was already registered.
I wonder if addictive has something to do with “adding”, like you can’t help but ‘add’ more of something.
I don’t use “ain’t” because I was taught in school many many years ago that it was improper. I was very surprised to learn about it’s orgin. I still prefer not to use it in everyday speech.
I remember back in school, where one of my teachers were making a big deal about “ain’t” not being even a word, after she overheard someone use it. I sometimes use it, but sometimes tried to avoid it because of the stigma that surrounds it.
Wow!! Now I ain’t confused no more. Marina, I love this video. Your smile was particularly radiant and I love that coy and alluring quarter turn at the end.
she’s such a tease.
Well Miss M. Thats an interesting outfit your wearing in the lesson. I love it. Its very unique. The bag on the skirt is nice. I guess its better than having your purse over your shoulder. Do you feel a bit naked wearing the top?
Homework: Hum. yea I think I have just a few comments or emails ago. I know I just used ‘Aren’t’ in my last post.
Years ago, many people told me that it was improper to use ain’t. But I rebelled and use it all the time. I feel funny using it still.
was that girl the Anne Boleyn, the second wife of King Henry VIII of England?
I have a little neck
and while we’re on the subject ..
[a song about the execution of Mary, Queen of Scots]
i believe this was the queen’s last words.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who thouht they both said “Anne Boleyn”
What’s with the big pocket on the skirt… Kobe outgrow the little purse? now M has to carry him around on her…
I suppose I had better link this before someone else does.. Funny I only heard it on the radio today as well

hey hot for words!!
i wanted to know what the word “synonyms” means
i know it means that 2 words sound the same but different meanings
but i wanna know how and where we got it from
thanks!!
that was a homonym (sp?)
Thank you stevensgurl for your word request of ‘synonyms’.
I like the older style of vids on the bed where you could see things in the background, to me, it felt nicer because you could see things more sometimes kobe and the plant of the day, White is a cold colour and ain’t got the same feel as the bedroom. I am not saying Marina has got worse. I just liked having a background.
Umm, umm, don’t listen to him Marina. How am I gonna do green screen effects with cluttered backgrounds. You don’t want me to work extra hard do you. With a plain background I can chose my own backgrounds.
Good point Pedantickarl
one negative to the way M implements the plain background is the sound is a little echoy (is that a word?).
btw .. are you doing greenscreen effects, pedantickarl?
I had a shot at a short clip to see if i could get the process right …
http://www.mijj.info/misc/hfwClip.mov
(with a bit of messing with M’s image)
but i thought i’d better ask for M’s permission to mess with her vid .. and she didn’t give it.
oh … i’m only using a paint program. No video technology for me.
I was thinking more in the lines of animated art effects rather than video.
.. along the lines of iconic rather than effective video. – if you see what i mean. … but i only just tested my ability to deal with the software .. no attemtp at anything createive yet.
oh .. i just saw your vid. Very good. I might as well give up right now.
I haven’t made any headway at all since i didnt get M’s permission.
i like these ones with the plain background.
Marina is the entire focus .. no distractions at all .. plus it’s like a cartoon panel.
There’s an abstracted sense to vids like these. At first i thought she was going to use these plain backdrops for adding backgrounds in her software. But plain backgrounds are an effective idea.
Yipeee!! two votes for plain background. Can I get a third…
OK, Capt’n going with plain…. halleluja
mijj, yes I do green screen effects. I saw a few of your clips and they were done well. I do mine in Sony Vegas Movie Studio, and I also have Flash Studio. Did you ever see this video that I made?
there is a fucking great andy warhol exhibit here in ohio at the wexner center for the arts. only u.s. stop. the pop art of andy warhol and the white background got me to thinking that providing images that can be used by other artists would further promote her. andy warhol doing marilyn monroe kinda thing.
The moving clouds background is just a start, right?
Can you do Marina with waves crashing like she’s
surfing, ala Gidget? Show me that – ja ja ja ja !
melika .. that was just an effort to see if i could get to grips with the basics of the image processing progs i’m using … there’s no real creative effort there. Though i like the rushing clouds background. I think if i’d thought about it, i wouldnt have used the enamel effect on M, i would have transformed her into a pencil sketch instead.
I dont want to explain anything ‘cos i#m one of those people that believes explanations jinx the effort
– anyway .. my efforts will be about poking about and checking stuff out rather than planning particular stuff.
A blue background or Green would work much better. So tell me something I heard something in the underground that some YTbers are using green backgrounds in hopes that someone would use their video as a mash for something like a parody. Whats up with that?
Nah, I liked the old way better. It’s much more feminine with the comforters and pillows and other fluffy stuff around. Plus it is more interesting to see the bird in it’s nest, so to speak. (You can tell a lot about a person by the height of the dishes stacked in the sink.) The blank wall/empty room effect makes it look like she had to sell her furniture to get the deposit for her bigger digs. And it makes the low-end painted baseboard painfully obvious (vs., say, monkeywood that has been hand-rubbed to a pleasant glow by virgin maidens shortly before their sacrifice to Puka Paloppy, the god of bountiful banana harvests [and as of late, also of good cellphone signal strength]).
yeh .. i think the comfy home Marina (with all her personal clutter) has a lot going for her too
… maybe if she did half/half.
White is not a color.
A prism quickly reveals light we
perceive as white has components
of all visible color frequencies.
ergo, white light is all colors
and black is the absence of any light reflection
Melika, your correct for transmissive light but we are talking about an object like the white wall which reflects most all spectrum of visible light. A black wall would absorb most all spectrums of visible light. Notice I said most, not all. The paint on the wall is not 100% pure reflective. Nor is the light hitting the wall 100% all colors of visible light.
I know my photons!
Yes it is I hate when people say that.
I’m not an expert in these thing – i’m just using simple scripted image processing software and not video processing software – so from my point of view the background is best as a simple plain color with minimal spread that isn’t represented anywhere on M or her clothing.
+ YTers deliberately setting their vids up to make hacking (?) easy is a good idea – though my point of view is it’d be best if they gave their explicit permission to do so.
>A prism quickly reveals….
I’ll say! Light would take less than a nanosecond to get through it.
I prefer to say “int”. “Ain’t” is so passé.
i have a request. the word is “Dixie”, as it refers to the southern portion of the US. Thanks.
The name Dixie was adopted by 18th-century U.S. Southern men, from the brand name of the inexpensive cups they commonly wore “down south” as protective equipment in certain sporting events. These cups were small.
I thought it was from when each state had its own currency…the French in Louisana printed their ten-dollar notes which bore the French word Dix (=ten), whence the deep South became known as the “Land of Dixes”, corrupted over time to “Land of Dixie”
WORD REQUEST: Dixie
Which of us is correct, Dear Teacher?
Ciao,
Fianchetto
dixies over here.

Wrong place for this who are you
ok Ernie…where is the right place for this then?
Hey..didn’t you tell me not so long ago that I am the one that is into words and you never have been? WTF are you doing on this forum then?
And don’t play dumb. How are the voices in your head today? You taking good care of your “others” – Toronto Sadist and Eric Fitgerald? Hope you triplets are having a fine day lol
how cum you’re not logged under your pseudonym – Toronto Sadist??? eh?
When was in school we weren’t allow to use <i<ain’t then later in life it was in the dictionary.
The teachers would correct us students by saying, “ain’t ain’t in the dictionary.”
“Say it ain’t so Joe.” Where is that from? I really forgot
Found the answer, Black Sox Scandal 1919 World Series
When Shoeless Joe Jackson was ask by a young fan if he participated in fixing the game.
Marina.. I ain’t had a reply from you for a while…………. HI
Nice skirt Miss M. Do you carry Kobe in the big pocket when you go for walks? Or are you a carpenter when your not making videos?
Ain’t is every day red neck speak here in tha south Ma Lady.
she ain’t from there, so she don’t know.
What is a taint
I would tell you, but it’s liable to get us kicked off of here.
It’s that small area in between the garden and the out house
With a little imagination it ain’t hard ya’ll
That’s one good way to put it.
How about “no man’s land?”
Sounds like “girl on girl” porn.
I think the only thing exciting about that idea is twice the female nudity. But after only the first few minutes of watching, where we everything from head to toe, …it quickly becomes BOOORING!
…where we (SEE) everything from… (I gotta watch my damn TYPE-Os)
Thank you CampKohler for your phrase request of ‘no man’s land’.
