For a real oatmeal stout, I prefer the taste of Samuel Smith’s Tadcaster. Spaten Pils is my favorite pilsner and I like a cold Negra Modelo with a lime wedge when I get the real Mexican food. Mostly, though, I don’t touch those. Those are for rare occasions like dinners out and going to see friends. Cringe if you must, but I drink Lite beer by Miller at home cause it’s cheap, low-carb and watery so I can chug it a bit without undue damage (less filling). I’m thirsty when I drink beer, not hungry. Heavier beers, especially syrupy microbrews with fruit and berry flavors taste very cute but give me a headache. If I want dessert, I’ll order a piece of pie, not a blackberry ale. In those rare instances when something more potent is required, I chase a shot of Stolychnaya with a slug of Miller Lite, wait ten minutes, and repeat the procedure until the desired effect is achieved. Nazdorovye!
Lager ( the lighter, fizzy, gassy, loads of sugar, laced with chemicals) is called Beer, but Beer (the darker, smoother, warmer, more hops and barley) is called Ale (Beer!) - then you have Stout’s such as Guiness or Murphies……..
A really good beer (ale) brewed locally to me is BUTLERs OXFORDSHIRE BITTER or BOB, is an Ale however with a lighter chracteristic not too disimilar to a Lager but know way as gassy or chemicaly. The women drink it and love it! BOB also brews up a more darker heavier keg or two which kicks some serious butt, one for the men. I prefer the Henley Brakspere which is now brewed in Whitny, Oxon so the water is not local but the end result is pretty dam good. Adnams Broadside from Plymouth is also very tastey too.
The Reading (pron. Redding) Real Ale and Jazz Festival held once a year is pretty cool with many many Real Ales on tap. With a fine selection of names, flavoures, volumes and effect coupled with top Jazz artists makes for a fun week end.
Many places through out the UK will brew their own Beer (Ale), an org called CAMRA will only pick the most popular from endless letters and phone calls (usually friends and family of the brewer!) so they tend to avoid some really good ales brewed out of the lime light (suckers to the fashion) so you have to keep your wits about you to find the best beers and not the so called best beers!! ( Come on CAMRA, pull your socks up!!!) London is a great haunt to find these ‘best beers’ but as mentioned can be found all over the UK
My all-time favorite, though, is Red Horse. Not the watered-down garbage you get her; the original from the Philipines.

….WHAT about STOUT !
Stout and porter are dark beers made using roasted malts or roast barley. There are a number of variations including Baltic porter, dry stout, and Imperial stout. The name Porter was first used in 1721 to describe a dark beer popular with street and river porters of London that had been made with roasted malts. This same beer later also became known as stout,though the word stout had been used as early as 1677.The history and development of stout and porter are intertwined
Irish stout or dry stout (in Irish, leann dubh, “black ale”) is very dark or rich in colour and it often has a “toast” or coffee-like taste. The most famous example, Guinness, is from Ireland. Its alcoholic content and “dry” flavour are both characterized as light, although it varies from country to country
Chocolate stout
Chocolate stout is a name brewers sometimes give to certain stouts. The name “Chocolate stout” is usually given because the beers have a noticeable dark chocolate flavour through the use of darker, more aromatic malt; particularly chocolate malt — a malt that has been roasted or kilned until it acquires a chocolate colour. Sometimes, as with Young’s Double Chocolate Stout, and Rogue Ales’ Chocolate Stout the beers are also brewed with a small amount of real chocolate

I got a good word for you: dord. It used to mean density in chemistry and physics. Where did this word come from?
Couldn’t figure out what kind of beer you like… it was hard to decipher what you said.
I like Mary-Anna’s, St. Paul Street, You-Brew,”please bring back your empties beer!’
It was this women who had a small factory going on. She had beer recipes from around the world and put these beers in recycled glass bottles. It was tasty, cold, cheap and strong. No advertising.
The sound of this term seems to hark back to earlier rhyming phrases, like hocus-pocus and mumbo-jumbo, with a touch of the jitters thrown in. The meaning is more like the British term - the screaming habdabs.
Heebie and jeebie don’t mean anything as independent words and heebie jeebies was coined at a time and place when there was a spate of new nonsense rhyming pairs, called rhyming reduplications, - the bee’s knees, etc., i.e. 1920s USA.
The term is widely attributed to William Morgan “Billy” de Beck. The first citation of it in print is certainly in a 1923 cartoon of his, in the 26th October edition of the New York American:
“You dumb ox - why don’t you get that stupid look offa your pan - you gimme the heeby jeebys!”

How about the word “pi” meaning 3.14159…? Any curious etymology associated with that?
animalntaz replied on October 8th, 2008 2:02 pm:
I think it is more of a Greek letter, than a word, which for some reason mathematicions (Did I spell that right?) use it to symbolize that number. I guess they used it, maybe because that letter sounded like “pie”. And pies are round, so it is easier to remember to accurately measure something circular. I don’t know.
prospero811 replied on October 9th, 2008 4:22 am:
Ancient Greeks didn’t speak English, so th symbol “pi” didn’t sound like “pie” them. It sounded like “πι” in ancient Greek.

Personally, I’d call that (and probably a lot of other “beers” mentioned here) lager - which is a different thing in my mind than beer. But I admit that a lot of Germans and Austrians would call it bier too.
@ nw2394
Beer is the grand category of drinks brewed of fermented starches
from cereals flavored with hops.
@ prospero811
Stella Artois is my favorite, too, closely followed by Grolsch in the
larger bottles and ceramic tops. For some reason, the Grolsch in
the regular bottles (known also in the more rowdy circles as the “throwing” bottles) is not up to par with that of the Grolsch with the ceramic tops.

Here is a word for you….Did you know, accord to grandma, that you are a SPINSTER? While looking over old photos with my 91 year old grandmother, she referred to an old friend of hers as… “a spinster into her mid-forties.” She also referred to herself as a spinster up until age 30. She seemed proud of that former status. To her the term spinster meant a women making it on her own. But today “Spinster” is a word not often heard and considered insulting when used. Most prefer the more PC terms of “bachelorette”, “professional/working women” or just “single female.” Still I am curious of it origins. Hope you find it of interest too you smart, sexy spinster!
Thanks for all interesting and entertaining videos.

New tactic (repetition) - Yes, Marina is a busy girl. I sent some link graphics to her months ago, and even resubmitted them through the Captain, but, sniff, no response. I also thought millions of people wanted to know if there was a Mr. Marina, but no answer.
While I’m posing questions to ignore I might as well add why does the subscribe button only show the same number of videos?
Oh, and a recent video was the first one Marina didn’t say “hot for words must investigate”. It’s cute and I miss it.
checmark, there is no Mr. HotForWords, I got your graphics and they have been sitting on my desktop ever since you sent them the first time around as I’ve been meaning to figure out where to put them. Adverising banner have ver specific sizes, so I need banners in those sizes.
The only time I don’t say HFW investigates.. or decided to investigate is if I already investigated and it just doesn’t fit in the video.
And finally.. the subscribe thing is a snapshot I took a while ago.. I guess I could lose the total number of videos completely… I just cant change the graphic every time I use it as that would be very time consuming.
No surprise on your first answer. Not a soul in the world good enough for you! lol The graphics were not meant as ad banners, just link graphics for other sites, like mine. The ones you have are a little too sexy for many, more mainstream sites. Totally agree on dropping the number of videos from the subscribe graphic. We all know you are number one anyway.
And you are welcome to visit us in Panama any time. You would create quite the stir here for sure!
The word that I would like to know about is “stocks”, as in the things that are traded on Wall Street. In England, stocks are called “shares”: to me, shares makes sense, because when you buy one, you are buying a share [in the usual sense] of the company. But why are they called stocks in the USA?
The best beer I ever tasted was a Budweiser; now, before you all howl in derision, this was at a pavement café in Brno in the Czech Republic and it was the local draught Budvar Budweiser and not the American virgins’ p*^s.
I don’t drink much these days but I do like the occasional beer with a spicy meal, because wine doesn’t go well with spicy food. I try to get an appropriate beer to go with the food, so Singha with Thai food, Tsing Tao with Chinese, Bintang (not poontang, that comes later.) with an Indonesian Rijstaffel, etc.
I’ve never ever heard of HefeWeizen, or seen it on sale, (one to look out for) but I have a bottle of Hobgoblin which someone gave me, which I am plucking up the courage to try - the label reads “a blend of smooth rich flavours from chocolate and crystal meths … Oh! no … crystal malts combined with a refreshing bitterness from English Fuggles hops and a dash of citrus aroma from Stryrian Goldings”.
Sounds like LSD in a bottle!
What is there crude about the gluteus maximus, gluteus medius and gluteus minimus? They are only Muscles like the Gastrocneumius (calf), Semitendinosus and Biceps Femoris (hamstrings), Rectus Abdominis (six-pack) which Marina displays daily with complete charm and candour.
And why is it crude to display them but not to sing about them?
buzzword replied on October 7th, 2008 8:24 am:
since your being all scientifical about it, those are isolated muscles. buttocks is a broader term that includes all the body systems that make up the “ass”.
your casualness with the public display of the buttocks is remarkably open minded and liberal. however, and i cannot speak for cc, but for the sake of my psyche, no matter how comfortable you are, please, don’t show me your ass. there is not enough charm and candor to compensate for the insult of that image upon my consciousness.
buzzword replied on October 7th, 2008 10:21 am:
the oed isn’t used in medicine. both stedman’s and taber’s medical dictionary define the buttocks as including the entire gluteus muscle group and surrounding tissues, basically the hind quarters. the term buttocks refers to more than just the gluteus muscle group but all other body systems that are located there. for instance if an individual has a furuncular lesion on the buttocks it does not mean that there is a lesion on the gluteus maximus. the term includes the epidermis as well. i was just dissecting a dead guy’s nuts last week, i know some shit about anatomy.
buzzword replied on October 7th, 2008 8:32 am:
cc, cute gift. however i translated the lyrics as “the most bountiful ass in the world” you might want to check, alx’s german sucks.
buttocks is a broader term that includes all the body systems that make up the “ass”.
Sorry, Buzz, I can’t agree with that statement; buttocks refers to the muscle group of the gluteus and nothing else. The OED defines buttock as “one of the two protuberances of the rump”.
As to the other “body systems” located in the same area, it is true that the Great Sculptor in the sky incorporated a basic design flaw in the human body, namely a drain and a sewer outlet in the middle of the playground, but that’s municipal architects for you.
Certainly, displaying those items would be crude and insulting for the viewer, but I see nothing crude in a beautiful, athletic young lady in a thong bikini.
If that’s what you spend your life doing, then I guess you do ; however I doubt if 99%+ of the population care a shit about your specialist knowledge.

when one is seeking medical help, that specialist knowledge is going to be damn important. of course if you prefer a fuckwit to serve your medical needs then thats your life. i think a large portion of the population would select an individual with specialist knowledge and skill. people start caring about that shit when their life is on the line.

I’m sorry I haven’t been doing my homework, lately. But you’re obviously the lovely type of teacher that assigns homework she neither grades, nor provides the correct answer, (if there is one, that is), so there is no impact on actual grades. I’ve had teachers like that before, and they rocked. I mean, assign, don’t care, and still get the “A” on coursework alone. I think most teachers of that sort just assign homework for poor students to think about the work, and shore up the knowledge for the classwork. Here, you get bunches of feedback, and that shows traffic. Coolness, either way.
Besides, I don’t really like beer. Although, if you can ever get your hands on a Japanese seasonal beer called “The Winter’s Tale - Fuyumonogatari” That’s a beer even I like. A lot, even. By the Sapporo Brewery, BTW.

….WHAT about STOUT !
Stout and porter are dark beers made using roasted malts or roast barley. There are a number of variations including Baltic porter, dry stout, and Imperial stout. The name Porter was first used in 1721 to describe a dark beer popular with street and river porters of London that had been made with roasted malts. This same beer later also became known as stout,though the word stout had been used as early as 1677.The history and development of stout and porter are intertwined
Irish stout or dry stout (in Irish, leann dubh, “black ale”) is very dark or rich in colour and it often has a “toast” or coffee-like taste. The most famous example, Guinness, is from Ireland. Its alcoholic content and “dry” flavour are both characterized as light, although it varies from country to country
Chocolate stout
Chocolate stout is a name brewers sometimes give to certain stouts. The name “Chocolate stout” is usually given because the beers have a noticeable dark chocolate flavour through the use of darker, more aromatic malt; particularly chocolate malt — a malt that has been roasted or kilned until it acquires a chocolate colour. Sometimes, as with Young’s Double Chocolate Stout, and Rogue Ales’ Chocolate Stout the beers are also brewed with a small amount of real chocolate
Thanks again for all that you do Marina. I dont know if anyone else has asked for this one but I would like to know the origin of the word syntax. Thanks in advance for any help on this.
I got a good word for you: dord. It used to mean density in chemistry and physics. Where did this word come from?
Hi Marina,
Couldn’t figure out what kind of beer you like… it was hard to decipher what you said.
I like Mary-Anna’s, St. Paul Street, You-Brew,”please bring back your empties beer!’
It was this women who had a small factory going on. She had beer recipes from around the world and put these beers in recycled glass bottles. It was tasty, cold, cheap and strong. No advertising.

Open Sesame,
Do you mean “heebie-jeebies” or “heeby-jeebys”? If so, then I found:
http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/heebie-jeebies. html
Meaning
A feeling of anxiety, apprehension or illness.
Origin
The sound of this term seems to hark back to earlier rhyming phrases, like hocus-pocus and mumbo-jumbo, with a touch of the jitters thrown in. The meaning is more like the British term - the screaming habdabs.
Heebie and jeebie don’t mean anything as independent words and heebie jeebies was coined at a time and place when there was a spate of new nonsense rhyming pairs, called rhyming reduplications, - the bee’s knees, etc., i.e. 1920s USA.
The term is widely attributed to William Morgan “Billy” de Beck. The first citation of it in print is certainly in a 1923 cartoon of his, in the 26th October edition of the New York American:
“You dumb ox - why don’t you get that stupid look offa your pan - you gimme the heeby jeebys!”
How about the word “pi” meaning 3.14159…? Any curious etymology associated with that?
I think it is more of a Greek letter, than a word, which for some reason mathematicions (Did I spell that right?) use it to symbolize that number. I guess they used it, maybe because that letter sounded like “pie”. And pies are round, so it is easier to remember to accurately measure something circular. I don’t know.
Ancient Greeks didn’t speak English, so th symbol “pi” didn’t sound like “pie” them. It sounded like “πι” in ancient Greek.
I would say the best beer is Stella Artois.
Personally, I’d call that (and probably a lot of other “beers” mentioned here) lager - which is a different thing in my mind than beer. But I admit that a lot of Germans and Austrians would call it bier too.

@ nw2394
Beer is the grand category of drinks brewed of fermented starches
from cereals flavored with hops.
@ prospero811
Stella Artois is my favorite, too, closely followed by Grolsch in the
larger bottles and ceramic tops. For some reason, the Grolsch in
the regular bottles (known also in the more rowdy circles as the “throwing” bottles) is not up to par with that of the Grolsch with the ceramic tops.
All lagers are beer, but not all beer are lagers.
hi marina,
im just curious about where word PEACE come from.
im looking forward to your answer. thanks!
Wheat reminds me as a youth, when bagging the seeds I would eat some—the taste of wheat beer. Good stuff.

Since you mentioned college and Beer, I would think that “Cleavage” would be appropriate as well. Where did that word come from?
While I would prefer Jack, if I am drinking beer, I choose to drink Molson Canadian.
Hi HotforWords,
Is there any connection between the words “ma’am”, “mammary” and the French word (which I cant spell) “memeuselle” (meaning a woman).
Thank you.

As a retired English teacher, I enjoy and appreciate your lessons and your many charms. I am curious about a word we hear a lot lately, and that is the word “maverick.” My research reveals that our politicians might not necessarily know what it has meant over the years.
Thank you and I plan to keep watching everything you do!
That’s a good none johnscottromine, I think I will do it shortly since it is being used quite a bit lately!
HI Marina,
My question for you concerns two words that are constantly stumping me when I use them. First the verb, affect, and the noun effect. I’m hoping your explanation of the origins might help me remember the differences between the two. Your illuminating lessons are unforgettable.
All the best,
Greg
Bavaria, Lieshout, Holland.
Best there is, an i “tasted” allot haha
Marina,
Honest question.
In your research for the origin of the word beer, did you uncover what beer was called before that?
Just wondering what the Ancient Egyptians and others would have called their versions of beer.
Марина, I also like пиво пшеншое. Some of my favorites are:
- Балтика № 8 & № 20
- Шернигивское Биле
- Schneider Weisse
- Franzischaner Dunkel Weisse
- Hoegaarden
- Widmer’s
- Flying Dog In Heat Wheat
Of course, there are many others
Newcastle Brown
In Heaven there is no beer
MARINA!!! Privet! Could you please please do a video about the phrase “knock on wood” or the word “download” or maybe “corndog?” Thanks so much and I love your vids!!! Do svidaniya, kraciva!
hey hot for words
i was wondering
were did the phrase “the bees knees” come from
Marina,
Here is a word for you….Did you know, accord to grandma, that you are a SPINSTER? While looking over old photos with my 91 year old grandmother, she referred to an old friend of hers as… “a spinster into her mid-forties.” She also referred to herself as a spinster up until age 30. She seemed proud of that former status. To her the term spinster meant a women making it on her own. But today “Spinster” is a word not often heard and considered insulting when used. Most prefer the more PC terms of “bachelorette”, “professional/working women” or just “single female.” Still I am curious of it origins. Hope you find it of interest too you smart, sexy spinster!
Thanks for all interesting and entertaining videos.

Here is a good reason for drinking beer.
Hello Bob, that was a funny video abooth French Canadians
It’s funny how different cultures develop swear words
In Quebec the profanity with

In Spanish it is against your mother
Wonder what it is in Russian?

Beer in Panama: $5 for SIX, count ‘em, SIX Balboas. Fav: Corona.
New tactic (repetition) - Yes, Marina is a busy girl. I sent some link graphics to her months ago, and even resubmitted them through the Captain, but, sniff, no response. I also thought millions of people wanted to know if there was a Mr. Marina, but no answer.
While I’m posing questions to ignore I might as well add why does the subscribe button only show the same number of videos?
Oh, and a recent video was the first one Marina didn’t say “hot for words must investigate”. It’s cute and I miss it.
checmark, there is no Mr. HotForWords, I got your graphics and they have been sitting on my desktop ever since you sent them the first time around as I’ve been meaning to figure out where to put them. Adverising banner have ver specific sizes, so I need banners in those sizes.
The only time I don’t say HFW investigates.. or decided to investigate is if I already investigated and it just doesn’t fit in the video.
And finally.. the subscribe thing is a snapshot I took a while ago.. I guess I could lose the total number of videos completely… I just cant change the graphic every time I use it as that would be very time consuming.
If beer is $6 for SIX in Panama, I’m moving there
No surprise on your first answer. Not a soul in the world good enough for you! lol The graphics were not meant as ad banners, just link graphics for other sites, like mine. The ones you have are a little too sexy for many, more mainstream sites. Totally agree on dropping the number of videos from the subscribe graphic. We all know you are number one anyway.
And you are welcome to visit us in Panama any time. You would create quite the stir here for sure!

The word that I would like to know about is “stocks”, as in the things that are traded on Wall Street. In England, stocks are called “shares”: to me, shares makes sense, because when you buy one, you are buying a share [in the usual sense] of the company. But why are they called stocks in the USA?
I dream about your beauty, DouglasK
The best beer I ever tasted was a Budweiser; now, before you all howl in derision, this was at a pavement café in Brno in the Czech Republic and it was the local draught Budvar Budweiser and not the American virgins’ p*^s.
… Oh! no … crystal malts 
combined with a refreshing bitterness from English Fuggles hops and a dash of citrus aroma from Stryrian Goldings”.
I don’t drink much these days but I do like the occasional beer with a spicy meal, because wine doesn’t go well with spicy food. I try to get an appropriate beer to go with the food, so Singha with Thai food, Tsing Tao with Chinese, Bintang (not poontang, that comes later.) with an Indonesian Rijstaffel, etc.
I’ve never ever heard of HefeWeizen, or seen it on sale, (one to look out for) but I have a bottle of Hobgoblin which someone gave me, which I am plucking up the courage to try - the label reads “a blend of smooth rich flavours from chocolate and crystal meths
Sounds like LSD in a bottle!
I made a present for Marina
it’s a big file so be patient
english translation thanks to aLx:
‘you are the song that goes through me,
that makes my heart pound,
you turned my life upside down,
you have the most beautiful ass in the world’
the lyrics are from the song i used for aLx’s birthday video
there were a few images of marina with more of her… ass. showing, but i didnt want it to seem too crude so i used that image
What is there crude about the gluteus maximus, gluteus medius and gluteus minimus? They are only Muscles like the Gastrocneumius (calf), Semitendinosus and Biceps Femoris (hamstrings), Rectus Abdominis (six-pack) which Marina displays daily with complete charm and candour.
And why is it crude to display them but not to sing about them?
since your being all scientifical about it, those are isolated muscles. buttocks is a broader term that includes all the body systems that make up the “ass”.
your casualness with the public display of the buttocks is remarkably open minded and liberal. however, and i cannot speak for cc, but for the sake of my psyche, no matter how comfortable you are, please, don’t show me your ass. there is not enough charm and candor to compensate for the insult of that image upon my consciousness.
the oed isn’t used in medicine. both stedman’s and taber’s medical dictionary define the buttocks as including the entire gluteus muscle group and surrounding tissues, basically the hind quarters. the term buttocks refers to more than just the gluteus muscle group but all other body systems that are located there. for instance if an individual has a furuncular lesion on the buttocks it does not mean that there is a lesion on the gluteus maximus. the term includes the epidermis as well. i was just dissecting a dead guy’s nuts last week, i know some shit about anatomy.
cc, cute gift. however i translated the lyrics as “the most bountiful ass in the world” you might want to check, alx’s german sucks.
Sorry, Buzz, I can’t agree with that statement; buttocks refers to the muscle group of the gluteus and nothing else. The OED defines buttock as “one of the two protuberances of the rump”.
As to the other “body systems” located in the same area, it is true that the Great Sculptor in the sky incorporated a basic design flaw in the human body, namely a drain and a sewer outlet in the middle of the playground, but that’s municipal architects for you.
Certainly, displaying those items would be crude and insulting for the viewer, but I see nothing crude in a beautiful, athletic young lady in a thong bikini.
BTW, here is a picture of a nice ass.
Interestingly, I had to search several pages of buttock pictures before I could find this.
If that’s what you spend your life doing, then I guess you do
; however I doubt if 99%+ of the population care a shit about your specialist knowledge.
when one is seeking medical help, that specialist knowledge is going to be damn important. of course if you prefer a fuckwit to serve your medical needs then thats your life. i think a large portion of the population would select an individual with specialist knowledge and skill. people start caring about that shit when their life is on the line.
I tell you what, Buzz, I’ll let you have the last word on this.
Now you’ll have to write another post so you can.
bountifully bouncing julia. not the entire intro, but(t) … oh, well.
yo cc, look at all the trouble your comments cause!

hey marina i noticed you prefer video request
but from beer, were did the word WINE come from?
I don’t drink beer often. But when I do, I drink Guinness or Bass Ale.
marina, please do the origin of tattle tale. thank you!!!!!!!!!
I do like beer. My favorites at the moment are Schlafly Hefeweizen and Schlafly Raspberry Hefeweizen. When in a bar I will usually order a Budweiser or a Blue Moon these days as Schlafly isn’t often offered. I tend to drink wine at home more often.
I request the word “used”, but in the less common context of “I’m used to cold weather” or “I used to stay up late”
No I do not enjoy beer.
I am new to the site and mean no offense. I was wondering about the origin of using feline references for female genitalia.
Allegory would be excellent to be investigated.

For all the young ladies out there this song will be here for you in the morning
Just Like a Women by Bob Dylan
Ev’rybody knows
That Baby’s got new clothes
But lately I see her ribbons and her bows
Have fallen from her curls.
She takes just like a woman, yes, she does
She makes love just like a woman, yes, she does
And she aches just like a woman
But she breaks just like a little girl.
I’m sorry I haven’t been doing my homework, lately. But you’re obviously the lovely type of teacher that assigns homework she neither grades, nor provides the correct answer, (if there is one, that is), so there is no impact on actual grades. I’ve had teachers like that before, and they rocked. I mean, assign, don’t care, and still get the “A” on coursework alone. I think most teachers of that sort just assign homework for poor students to think about the work, and shore up the knowledge for the classwork. Here, you get bunches of feedback, and that shows traffic. Coolness, either way.
Although, if you can ever get your hands on a Japanese seasonal beer called “The Winter’s Tale - Fuyumonogatari” That’s a beer even I like. A lot, even. By the Sapporo Brewery, BTW.
Besides, I don’t really like beer.
You kidding me? I love beer but I’m not a heavy drinker. I like MGD, Heinekin, Budweiser and a at least a few of yous know my other 2 beers I totally like.
Hey marina i would like you to find the orgin of the word Feet.
Poor young cherub, sodomy is not exclusive to homosexuals

Hello Marina, when i was in the U.S. Navy I was told that a “talliwhacker” was the flap on the back of the dress uniforms and was used to keep the grease from a sailors hair from messing up the uniform, and i was wondering if there was any truth behind this and if so, where did they come up with such a silly word?
Were you told that by the same person who told you to tighten up the Galley Downhaul?
