Fuck in 1700-1800’s was to breed cattle. At least I was always told that but prefer it has a verb anyway
No. 9, kangaroo: “A few hundred years” — to me, “a few” means at least three, and if memory serves, Capt. Cook visited Australia in 1770.
No. 2, OK: What of the competing theory that “OK” comes from a West African language and was brought by the slaves?
Oh cool! Good job Marina! That getting the word out.
nice article, Marina…and i remembered the origins for the words you did. proves you can still teach an ol’ dog new tricks…
Wow. All I can say. Why weren’t teachers like this when I was in school?
So Marina, you foud the origin of fuck, does this mean I will have to remake my fuck video? I think I will, Its a bit rubbish.
excellence
That was a great article that you did for Ask.com. I left a comment for your article. I know we have covered those words before, but it seems different when you can actually read the same lesson in print. It’s like watching a movie and reading a book, you can get more out of the book.
at the end there, they say
imagine, a million people a day poking around the website. Looks like about 49 rigtht now if that little number thing at the bottom is right. Does it mean 49 signed in or 49 altogether?
A million people, wow, where are they at? If we had that may people poking around it would be hard to make a comment to each other
Hey Capman911,
I’d like to get a DVD of all the lessons and a copy (hopefully autographed) of her book.
If everybody that looks in on her show bought one book -Marina is going to have so much money in the bank she’ll be on permanent vacation
I hope she doesn’t stop her lessons.
Hi Marina Myth=My story History=it is his story
Could you do the word TRUTH who’s story is that 
i have to say, M isn’t particularly appealing in #6 #4 #3 #1 - particularly #1.
and i don’t think anyone really believed “fuck” originated as “Fornication Under Consent of the King”.
for #6, Marina should have been in sexy, skimpy, see-though black grieving widow’s kit.
bloody ‘ell, Marina!! .. these things keep sprouting!!
Wow, you’re in print and websites everywhere… congrats, yet again, Marina!
…gee Marina you’re on your back and they did not go flat, remarkable
….or are you really standing up and the photo is turned 90 degrees
Her hair lies flat, yes, but don’t expect her to stretch her fingers out just to make them lie flat, geez…
