    My main pet peeve is when a comment/topic/video description is full of spelling errors and/or grammatical errors.

    People should take the time to type texts without making mistakes.

    Pet Peeve: Why do they make mute button on remote controls invariably the smallest, hardest to locate button? The mute button should be the biggest, easiiest button to located.

    Related pet peeve: whoever is writing commercials for television and radio should fall on their swords. They create hideous looking and ugly sounding commercials that people want to mute. One would think that they would make commercials that were beautiful to look at, like some of the SuperBowl commercials. (Damn it, it’s tough to find the remote control when reclined back in a Lazy Boy lounge chair.)

  7. animalntaz says:

    I’ve had a little time to think about it and its hard for me to say what my biggest pet peeve is. I want to say people in general, but there are other people I have anger issues towards.
    I don’t even care what people think of me. You can probably think of me as a rude, vulgar, perverted, offensive jackass for all I care….. I’d like to consider myself as fearless. :mrgreen:

  10. freebird199 says:

    Another word thats quite common is Communism. I’m not sure if its from the French Commune or from other places.

  11. Prospero says:

    One of my pet peeves:

    It bothers me shen people say “less people” or “less players,” instead of “fewer people” or “fewer players.”

  12. shades72 says:

    my word is ROFLCOPTER i really don’t know what it means but most of the people i know say it all the time so if you know what it means could you please tell me because i don’t

  13. eendraai says:

    Hey Marina
    As always, beautifully educational! An interesting word for you – can you tell me what is so special about the word CLEAVE and where it originated from?
    Look forward to hearing from you.
    Eendraai

  14. jason32 says:

    With the phrase “joe blow won hands down” where’d that phrase come from?

  15. bloody xhmx says:

    I have a word request: I learned in my Chemistry class what a mole was. It is a measurement in which you can measure how many atoms are inside an element. (6.022×10^23) So where did the word “mole” come from? thnx so much! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

  16. mittfh says:

    DeeDoubleYou: I heard a program on BBC Radio 4 a couple of weeks ago which gave the origin of “Bees Knees”. I think it was around the 1920s or so, the media had a craze with inventing new words/phrases to mean “wonderful” or “fabulous” – and somehow combining an animal with a body part to form a phrase caught on.

    (While searching to back the above up, found the following bit confirmed on Wiktionary, the dictionary counterpart to Wikipedia):
    Some, like “Bee’s Knees” and “Cat’s Whiskers” survived, together with some even odder variants, like “Cat’s pyjamas” and “dog’s bollocks” (don’t ask!), others didn’t, like “eel’s ankle”,”elephant’s instep”, and “snake’s hip”.

    Wiktionary (which sort of confirms the etymology heard on R4) offers additional potential etymologies:
    “Slang coined in the 1920s. Stories in circulation about the phrase’s origin include: “b’s and e’s”, short for “be-alls and end-alls”; and a corruption of “business”.”

    -oOo-

    Just thought – this could be an additional line of videos – for words where the etymology is uncertain, ask us to assist you in tracking the origins of the word! Sort of like an international version of the Oxford English Dictionary’s “Wordhunt” they had a couple of years ago (where they asked the UK public to help track down etymologies / first known usage of words/phrases, with the aid of a BBC TV programme called “Balderdash and Piffle” [yes, the programme did investigate it's own title!])

  17. bsomebody says:

    homework part 2 (do I get extra credit?): My “best” one is negativity. I like good Ju-Ju. Some call it Karma, positive energy, reaping what you sow… whatever. Sometimes, though, I get really negative about negativity. Does that make me a hypocrite? Ooh! Another pet peeve!

  18. bsomebody says:

    homework: My worst one is food-smacky noises. It drives me crazy. Now, I have got my kids so they cannot stand it either. Pet peeves and OCD seem to be related.

  19. durak says:

    You asked for words for pants in another video. How about breeks = брюки = britches.
    See A.A. Milne, “the old sailor” for example of the word “breeks”.

  20. mittfh says:

    My pet peeve (at work):

    People who disappear for a meeting or whatever, leaving their mobile turned on and voicemail turned off. So someone inevitably will ring them, and you’ll hear either (a) a dodgy rendition of a pop song, or (possibly even worse) (b) the default Nokia ringtone (that four bar “melody”) playing for minutes upon end before the caller finally realises that no-one’s going to answer the phone.

    It happens with work phones as well – some people don’t divert them elsewhere when they’re not in the office, so the phone will just ring and ring and ring and ring…

    -oOo-

    Meanwhile, 290 videos posted so far – you’ll be up to 300 by the end of the month (if not before)! Another milestone to celebrate!

    (Well, 292 if you count hot4words as well as hotforwords…)

    -oOo-

    Since he features so much in your videos (but probably doesn’t realise it!), how about a page somewhere introducing your dog?

    W.O.R.D. R.E.Q.U.E.S.T.
    the word is syllable
    since ive started watching your vids ive seen words with alot of syllables so im wondering… where does it come from

  22. Hi, Marina

    In the past year or 2, I have often heard commentators on news programs (such as CNN, MSNBC) use the term “sea change”. What the heck is that? I can assume from context that it refers to a dramatic change, but my husband and I do not know the exact definition or origin of the phrase. Help, please?

    I often do word games and Spanish “modismos” with my students, so I enjoy your videos.

    Marilyn

  23. Capman911 says:

    Marina are you ready to upload another video. Your already at number 26, wow so fast on this one. :cool:

  24. Pet Peeves, hmm…Congress? :mrgreen:
    fingernails across the blackboard,
    bandwidth robbing spam,
    buying gasoline, buying food,
    Ugh! I’m going to stop, now :idea:

  25. seesixcm6 says:

    Dear совершенная Marina, For your homework, my (mild) pet peeve is that I am always (yes, always) “Mr. Fixit” at the office. I’m called upon to fix paper jams in the copier, the printers, typewriters, PC glitches, coffeemaker problems, furniture adjustments and other repairs. I still do it for two reasons: (1) If I can fix it in ten to fifteen minutes, it prevents “downtime” and loss of production. (2) It usually saves lots of money over calling for an expensive repairperson to do the job. Besides, it my evaluations as employee and adds to my resume. :smile: I missed this video last night because I went out. But I can forecast something: That the zipper on the left side of your mini-skirt has “YKK” marked on it! :grin:
    Your dear student, seesixcm6

  26. Much like the late George Carlin(RIP), I don’t have pet peeves. I have major, psychotic f****** hatreds *lol* One of which is being kept in the dark about anything concerning my family/friends.

  27. Capman911 says:

    @ Chevolay. Yea I just crawled out of bed about an hour ago. We ran out of stumps and pallets and started on anything we could find to burn. The weather was just perfect for a night out in the yard killing some cold ones and and listening to some music. I got to bed about 2 am this morning. I stayed up a little longer after talking to you. Had a few more to finish off. No bad hang over really. :cool:

  28. Capman911 says:

    My biggest pet peeve is people that cut you off in traffic, without using a turn signal. Just one more the house phone a waste of money having one. :evil:
    Great video, great lesson and a great wall for the green screen. :smile:

    One of my pet peeves is poor grammar!

    I also have a word request, rather a phrase request.

    It is:

    Thank you!

    Hi Marina, i’d like to know the origin of the word “Sexy”.
    Thank you, bye bye!!!

  42. cufan71 says:

    I have several, but one pet peeve that I have is people who do not know how or care to return shopping carts to the right place! They either leave them in the middle of the parking lot or they just roll the toward the return without taking time to keep them in order! :evil:
    But, one of the funniest things I ever saw was a CAR in a cart return!

  43. mijj says:

    pet peeve!!

    When someone has a problem with what you say or do and doesn’t come out and say what the problem is to your face! .. the one’s of the “if you don’t know, then i’m not going to tell you” frame of mind. .. they keep to themselves and get into a mysterious huff.

    real annoying.

  44. James says:

    Marina. Here is the audio.. Its only viewable by you so its pointless anyone else clicking it!!

    Hey I got a new word, Bafflegab. I heard it oneday when I was in class.

  46. James says:

    Can someone help me please. I shut the lid on my laptop and now the screen size is huge like in safe mode and I can’t turn it off I have got into the screen resolution bit in the control panel but I don’t know what to press. It doesn’t help that my brother isn’t in either. :mad:

    • davemarkwz says:

      If you mean huge as in huge letters, icons, etc then your resolution is low (perhaps 640Xnnn etc.) bump it up a resolution. they usually
      have only a set amount of choices.
      If it doesn’t do anything, perhaps something has re-arranged
      data in your “Graphics Driver” – which is also in your Control-Panel.
      Get to that section (Control Panel; Graphics Driver) and instruct it to
      download the latest update.

  47. davemarkwz says:

    Pet peeve? I like doing things and getting them done. So, to do
    most anything twice in a work-like sense becomes a pet peeve.
    Not everything though. i like old re-runs of TV shows, ie. It’s just
    those things considered a chore.

    * LOL !! * You are coming along fine with your training. Now, If you
    can project your voice without moving your lips and adversely keep
    your lips moving while making no sound at all, you can join the many
    martial – arts kick-butt B – films!

    And Chuck is a good start, being old and busted ….
    Can you own Jackie Chan ? Jet Li, next – you know – together ?

    (Always Fun! Thanks!)

    * – Pick HURRICANE next ! There are other words for such storms:
    Cyclone, tornado is not quite a hurricane and storm just to generalize.
    Why does HURRICANE so special that it even gets a name?

  48. foxbow says:

    uuuhh….. I think i can go on all day ranting but i’ll try to name a few, …..
    i hate slow people!! whether they’re driving a car or riding a bike i can’t stand it -.- :evil:
    people that let they’re dogs take a shit on the middle of the street or childrens playgrounds and don’t clean it up.
    people that lie about all kinds of litle things real obviuously , stinking people, Rude and mean people. and all kinds of other things…

  49. mijj says:

    Hi there again! I would like to ask about the word “flummoxed” again. It’s my nickname, and I really want to know where did it come from. Could you investigate?

  53. atriviality says:

    I’d like to know the origin of the word “smithereens” as in “blow something to smithereens”.

  54. James says:

    Marina, How can I send you that audio file.. What I cant send attachments to you on your page.. If you can send me an e-mail then i can reply to it with an attachment from there. Also its in wma. What format will i need to convert it to?

    • pedanticKarl says:

      Hi James, There are several ways to do it.
      There are many music storage sites like this one.
      You can upload WMA. http://www.mp3-upload.net

      If you have a MySpace account, they have music storage.

      You could also create a video using the audio and a black screen or picture and upload to your YT account. If you don’t want others to see the video, set it to private designating Marina to see it. Then message her with the video.

  55. Bob says:

    Pet Peeves:
    1. All of the below .
    2. + probably most of the above.
    3. Inanimate objects that wilfully refuse to do whatever you’re trying to make them do.
    4. Apostrophe Abuse

    But I don’t allow any of them to affect me … :mad:

  56. pedanticKarl says:

    Marina, at 2:45 AM, I took a snapshot of the YT
    “All – Most Viewed (Today) ” videos page.
    The “Perky” video is #1 and the “Mind your p’s and q’s” video is #12.
    Two authoritative videos (pigtails). :grin:

    I took a full screen shot of the whole page in case it is much different from the time you get to see the page.

      • misscupcake says:

        lol@your comment below re: commas

        im so lazy with typing.

        i have an extensive vocabulary and i am aware of the correct placement in regards to commas and apostrophes, but i am far too lazy to type them out.

        in german, all nouns are spelled with capital letters at the start.

        ie: nouns like ‘bed’ (Bett)
        ‘cat’ (Katze)
        ‘dog’ (Hunde)
        etc

      • Bob says:

        I like your philosophy about the apostrophes being fallen commas. If you need further proof, consider that inverted commas are really apostrophes flying in formation; in fact I reckon that inverted commas would be a good name for an aerobatic team and should always be written in Red :smile:

  57. misscupcake says:

    wanna know a pet peeve of mine?
    probably not, but i’ll type it out anyways.

    one pet peeve of mine is when people get all cranky about not being replied to.

    im a nobody in the grand scheme of the internet, yet i get enough mail to keep me very very busy. and often i am unable to reply to every single message i get. if i replied to every message i received, i would have to quit my job and become an insomniac by giving up sleep and give up eating and showering.

    i love doing all those things. eating, showering, working, sleeping. etc.

    and i love receiving nice messages but unfortunately i cannot reply to all of them.

    so it really bothers me to read comments from people on my own videos, and then on marinas videos, about not getting a reply from me or her.

    marina has over 100,000 subscribers on youtube… she makes at least one video every day… she researches the words herself.. and she has her own personal life to live. and she has kobe to entertain too!

    please understand that marina does not have endless minutes in the day to read every comment she receives. and even if she could read every single one, her fingers would not have the strength to type out a response to every single person that contacts her.

    /end rant.

    i forgot a smilie.

    I’m definetly going to hear it from at least 2 of my pet peeves this Monday. I was very disappointed from earlier tonight and I thought this is the year. I don’t know what else to say. :cry:

    • BillyB says:

      Take heart, Your team is good, beaten by Marinas’ team (I think)… she may be a dodgers fan? I watched a ball game in Dodge Stadium once. What an evening… warm summer breeze, sun setting on the hills over left field, smells & sounds coming back to me now… Note the Seattle Mariners hat in the picture. I went to a few games in seattles old Kingdome, but it didn’t come close to the outdoor warm evening game in LA. Hope next years team does better for you L78. Cheer up, you’ll get through monday OK.

      • labbatt78 says:

        Ty, Billy B. I’m ok now. The dodgers are a much better team than we all think. I was very disappointed we got knocked out 1st round. Worse, got swept. We at least had an excellent season. I got the bears and the blackhawks on my back now.

    hey marina!
    what about the word ‘limelight’

    did it originate when someone had a lime coloured light :mrgreen: ahaha

    i had some sugar this afternoon. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

  69. achsdu17 says:

    One of my major ones is smoking. I can’t stand it and I won’t date a woman who does.

  70. b says:

    Hi Marina,

    No, I don’t have a pet peeve. How much do they cost and where can I get one?
    My friend said they are a nuisance to take care of and you can’t take them on airplanes. She said they get easily irritated which causes most owners of pet peeves to trade them in for three-eyed billy-goats. :lol:

  71. Fianchetto says:

    This chick peeves me with her treatment of Marina.

    • CheVolay says:

      Those words she did I have seen being requested here :twisted:

    • mijj says:

      yeh .. she’s a pseud.

      - she belongs to the dusty crowd who would rather knowledge was elitist and revered and devoid of any vitality / heart, etc.

    • Fianchetto says:

      I think Marina should return the volley with a vid in a business suit, no images of exposed skin. I bet she could make a video as engaging and lively as all the rest, and still out-do this woman by an order of magnitude. On her personality alone.

    • misscupcake says:

      :mrgreen: ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaahaha

      ahahahaha
      ahahaaaahahhahahaa
      haaahahahahaha
      hahaahaahhahaha

      ahahahaha
      i was expecting to see a woman trying to be sexy like marina, but i soon realised that is not.. her.. style.

      i agree with fianchetto’s second comment too (i think it will appear above this comment of mine :grin: )

      about how, if marina did a video with a full suit on, and didnt show skin, her personality alone would make it much more engaging than that other ladies attempt..

      aahahaha she comes across as though she doesnt want to use sex to sell her videos, yet she wanted to talk about testicals.

      i dont think marina has anything to worry about when it comes to that psychelady whatever her name is :mrgreen:

      • Fianchetto says:

        and then she shows splashes of bikini-clad women (boobs, just not her own)

        and for icing on the cake, hers are visible, though covered by the sweater, in their entirety every time she appears. In [Break a Leg], Marina briefly shows body shots but zooms in for shoulders-up for the rest of the vid

    • Dezdkado says:

      Though I agree with Mijj, what has this chick done that denigrates Marina? And even if she did, so what?

      • Fianchetto says:

        Fine point, well taken. Marina ased what our peeves were, without qualification that they be rational. perhaps I am acting on 1 and 3 that [This guy] is talking about.

      • misscupcake says:

        i see your point..

        i just have a personal thing against copy cats.

        like the time amy walker came along and got famous by doing her 21 accents video.

        when i had been doing accents on youtube for months before her.

        i felt like my talent had been stolened :cry:

      • Dezdkado says:

        I guess we all looked at “treatment” a little differently. I looked at the young lady wondering if she had been insulting, or had belittled Marina. Others looked at her content and style of delivery. And there is some evidence that she thinks more highly of her presentation than that of Marina’s. I definitely agree with Karl (below), as well as Fianchetto’s observations of this girl’s minor hypocrisies. Cupcake, yes it sucks when we’re copied, especially without being given credit; but that is the burden of innovators… sometimes it’s flattering, sometimes new ideas grow from it, but most of the time copying just sucks.

      • Dezdkado says:

        Thanks Fianchetto for the TED video link you provided. That discourse on morality was pretty interesting.

    • pedanticKarl says:

      Hi Fianchetto, I agree with what you say and you took the words out of my mouth. Regarding the business suit, I would say that even if Marina were in a straight jacket with her hands tied behind her back, Marina would win more minds and hearts.

      I don’t like to criticize the other woman as she is very attractive and is probably a very nice person off camera. On camera, that other woman does not project charisma like Marina. She seems distant, almost talking down to you and lacks a warm engaging delivery.

      Compare the other woman’s video to one of Marina’s earliest videos (5th one) where Marina only shows herself from the neck up.

      Watch this very classic Marina video, “Hello hello! Ahoy ahoy!”

      Even though Marina’s delivery was not polished, didn’t you get the feeling that Marina was talking to only you and that you have known Marina all of your life and that Marina was your best friend ever.

      Thats why I had requested advocado!

      I think Fianchetto is making the comment about being peeved because the lady says right in the description: “Etymology girl gives you the derivation of words. Shes like Hotforwords with less boobs showing but more words per video. Intelligence might be sexy but you don’t have to have your boobs hanging out but you will learn more word origins in one of her videos.”

    • buzzword says:

      the youtuber is a guy, the video may have been done by a girl. but the post and description is all by the guy, he is referring to her. check out the myspace page. the girl is not responsible for the description, and reading that description biases your experience of the video. excluding the description what she did was cool with me, more people searching and sharing. there are thousands of books on word origins, lots of sites, why the hell couldn’t somebody else do etymology on youtube? think before you get peeved off. everything get reduced into popularity contests, from women to wars.

    • cufan71 says:

      I found the video BORING!!! :sad: It was informative but not entertaining!
      Some have brains
      Some have beauty
      Thank goodness Marina you have both!!!! :cool:

    • CheVolay says:

      She has two huge sweater monkeys :wink: :eek:

    • buzzword says:

      its so… entertaining. the knights of camelot defending marina’s virtue. if you guys finally get this girl don’t bother inviting me to her inquisition, the angry mob mentality has never really appealed to me. keep in mind most of your comments are vaguely similar to the ones left on marina’s youtube channel, petty criticisms. a lot like the description thats pissing everyone off.

      Fianchetto1, what post (comment) are you talking about that I didn’t reply to in Left-wing Right-wing? I have trouble keeping up with the comments at times.. especially when there are catastrophes happening! This past week was a very bad week technical-wise for me, which is why I missed a few days uploading videos.

      But what did you ask, as I cannot seem to find it?

      • Fianchetto says:

        I was on a ‘Jethro Tull’ binge. mijj posted a dominatrix quiz, reminded me of ‘Hunting Girl’. Not leaning myself very far into the kinkiness end of the scale, remembered ‘Velvet Green’. I asked which of the two you identified with. The whole thing is in italic, as I apparently misspelled the endflag. I’ve yet to learn to link to within the pages here.. it was 30SEP @ 5:55 am. Thanks! :grin:

    • HotForWords says:

      Also, you should be emailed when people reply to. Are you not?

      • Fianchetto says:

        Actually, happily not. :grin: I have adopted the practice of checking one or two lessons back, and scrolling manually through my own posts for replies. Works for me and keeps my mail box cleaner.
        Thank you very much!

        BTW – I am a pretty good cook myself, and will be happy to prepare the crow on which mijj and I will be dining this evening… {thinking: what wine to pair with crow …viognier? no, …MERLOT!}
        Ciao,
        Fianchetto

    Just checked with my pet cat
    she has no peeves along as she has fresh water
    food, belly rubs and can sleep most of the day
    she is quite content….purrrrrrrrr….rrrr..

    Marina .. were you unduly influenced by this song when you were a girl ?

  78. Hi Marina, I have a word request. Where does the word kumquat come from? Apparently there are several kinds of quats. I like kumquats. Do you?

    pet peeve .. pet peeeeeeeve … hmmmm …

    …. pettt..t.t.ttt.t.t …. peeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeve …

    … hmmmmmmm

  80. mijj says:

    ooo! pedanticKarl .. you got your greenscreen stuff in there … nice one.

    I’m tempted to do one for Evil Marina .. but she’s only got that one vid where she’s all dark … and it’s not got a wipeable background.

    • Fianchetto says:

      you can edit mpegs? what software do you use? When I get moved in, I would like to give you guys a tour of the place, as well, I’d like to make a video word request or two..

      • mijj says:

        mpeg .. is that what your video source generates?

        i usually only deal with video in the sense of ripping from dvd and compressing them (for personal use only, of course :lol: )

        i’m not familiar with mpgeg i’ll have a check of the format.

      • mijj says:

        ok … mpeg-2 is the standard that’s used for dvds
        mpeg-4 is what’s produced by divX and XVid compressors.

        your video source could be producing either of those .. but in any case .. it’ll be editable .. but i have no idea what’s good for video editing .

        given that pedanticKarl produced that video, i guess he’s the person who’ll be genned up.

      • mijj says:

        oh .. wmv .. that’s MSoft’s own proprietary standard .. which means that you’re not going to get any open source of any other kind of free sw that will deal with it.

        but i guess you’re not looking for free software.

      • pedanticKarl says:

        Hi Fianchetto, I use Sony Vegas Movie Studio ver 6. Platinum edition ($85). There are four price points. Google Sony Vegas, it’s the first link. The new version does Blu-ray and HD.

        For web work I edit in 640x and render to 640x WMV which YT converts nicely. I tweak the rendering to stay around 15-30 MB, which will provide both Std and HQ YT links.

        I can also edit mpeg1&2, AVI and mp4

        If you have a Mac, you’ll want to use Final Cut Pro like Marina uses.

  81. kellsbells4 says:

    Thanks Marina for answering my question!! My pet peeve is when people eat while talking on the phone and then try to talk to you when munching on their food! :evil:

  82. Fianchetto says:

    Homework: my inability to use HTML in comments is rapidly rising on the list…

  83. matalexwolf says:

    peeve’s…….oh I dont know Marina (actually I do); maybe (deffinetly)when putting up word requests and phrases for best part of a year only to see someone else getting the credits for them….(opportunistic things!)…could go on but instead, shall mind my P’s & Q’s! – :???:

    :smile:

  84. nw2394 says:

    I don’t think I particularly have a pet peeve.

    One of pet unpeeves (if there is such a word) is coming to this site – always refreshing :mrgreen:

  85. annuddermale says:

    hmmm…i would phrase a bit differently: a “pet peeve” is the peeve that irritates you the most & nothing seems to be done to correct it, so you complain to yourself about it most often…it is the peeve you “pet” (or caress) repeatedly – by complaining about it…

    anyway, mine is simple: talking on a handheld cellphone while driving. i think all cell phones have headset capabilities these days, if not bluetooth also.

    i’ve been behind slow drivers chatting on the phone (i guess they were being careful – except for their weaving, that is), those who can barely turn the car one-handed (let alone actually use the turn signal, too) and the ultimate: the lady who was being extremely safe while she talked on her cell phone – she pulled over and stopped. Except she was on a two-lane street with no shoulder, stopped about five feet from the stoplight! she was smiling and laughing on the phone, so it was obvious she was just chatting and there wasn’t a breakdown or anything of that nature. Just moronic addiction to the “constant connection.”… :cool:

    p.s. – stunning look – it would be a great start to a witch’s outfit for All Hallows’ Eve… :!:

    I just want to say:

    Homework:
    Having to repeat myself to people
    Peolpe who are late
    Having to repeat myself to peple
    People who think they can dive the same way in winter and summer
    People who take up two spaces when they park
    People who don’t leave messages when they get voice mail when they call

    Having all my keys have the ridges face the same way on a keychain (oops this one is OCD)

  88. pedanticKarl says:

    Ohhhhhhhhhhh my gaaaaawwwwwwdddd, Marina, don’t do that, my poor stomach is aching from laughing sooooo hard. Before you know it I’ll have a six pack in no time…. That was wayyyyy too funny. What a surprise!!! :lol:

    I was going to say I loved your scene cuts with the distant shot, then closeup, then you holding Kobe. Great editing. I know it is more work, but that was neat. Thanks for the honors. That WAS better than being teachers pet. :grin:

    Hey, BillyB, I saw your name in lights. :grin:

  89. rawrbekins93 says:

    My biggest pet peeve is people who take advantage of other’s kindness.

    Can you start doing something where you find origins of food products? For instance: Why is the candy-bar Snickers called Snickers?

  90. GREG says:

    Marina
    I forgot to tell you and all your students.
    Go to Urban Dictionary and word search hotforwords
    All your student can write an update too, so far I am the only one :sad:

  91. generaldan says:

    Where would you rather have us post at? Here or on YouTube? Or would you prefer if we posted on both?

    I really only get annoyed by the small things, but for one of my pet peeves, is when i’m looking in the refrigerator the door starts to close, and then the door hits me.

  92. chs_too7oh says:

    I always wanted to know where the term “fired” came from as in “You’re fired!”
