My Mommy took me dis one time to get my hair cut, and uh MEAN Asian wady poked me in da eyes with the scissors and screamed “dis is for da Mai lay massaker you wide eyed Imperiwalist”.
And when I cried for my Mommy, and asked why che would do dis to me, che told me “because I didn’t sit still”.
And it hurt SOOOO BAD.
This zoom in tool from Firefox just came in real handy with the above hold photo. lol

[war-king]…nice hair 
Very informative…thank you
Hey Marina, how are you?
I was in a university lecture the other day and we watched a video, in which a British man used the word “Fortnight”. I know what this means, but we rarely use it in America. Where did this word come from? I can’t make any logical connection between the word and its meaning, can you?
Thanks and stay hot (for words).
Aloha Marina!
I love this video (and the hairdo)!
I have a word request. What’s the origin of the word donut? Or is it doughnut?
Q
Hello Marina I know the deff. of the word Wench but I was wondering where and how it originated. thank you phantomsmask07.
Hey Marina, i want to know about the word Dragon. thnx
Marina, I have two more word requests…
1) boonies. I know this probably came from the word boondocks. But why does this refer to a really remote location?
2) knock on wood. Why is knocking on wood considered to be a remedy for jinxing yourself?
3) Jinx.
Marina,
I’d like to know the etymology of the suffix “-ish.” I overuse it constantly — hungry-ish, permanent-ish, happy-ish — so might as well know where it comes from. Does it have any relation to words such as “peckish” that end naturally in “-ish”?
thanks,
cme
Hi Marina,
I was a Gargoyle for Halloween. As a Gargoyle I was also a Cowboy the one and only Gargoyle Cowboy. Anyways where does the word Gargoyle come from?
Gargoyles like mouthwash because they like to gargle. hahaha
Thank you for HotforWords!
My funny video is on YouTube.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nw9BvQyKMI
Could you share with the origin of “testify”?
*share with US*
Hi Marina,
Do you know the origin of the word, “Redneck”?
Thanks!
Dick
and where does peekaboo comes from?
luvuu
xoxo
Oops, http://qtrtilldawn.home.mchsi.com/index1.html
Although I love Marina’s rants. Does she not have any furniture?
Maybe I do not watch enough, but I have never seen any furniture.
Just my own dumb thought.
BTW, I post miss Marina, but I would like to post your thoughts….

Marina!
I have a word request. I would love to know where “Marriage” came from. Does its origin have anything to do with the male/female union only?
Love ya!
jonEboi
is that dress edible? {.. mmmmmm! .. strawberries! ..}
on the seductive scale, this is absolutely my favorite video so far (that i’ve seen).
(pedanticKarl! .. take my vote for this if you’re collecting them)
Hi Marina
i am glad to be a member of HotForWords
Take Cares!
Dear Marina,
could you check the origin of “Orient” and “Oriental”?
Best Regards from Indonesia
Could you investigate the origin of the phrase “Don’t take any wooden nickels”. Thanks beautiful.
Cyberweasel
Sorry i know know the word is spelled Guy Fawkes.
Hi,
I was wondering if you could investigate the word ‘rein’ or horse reins.
cheers,

Can I Ask You To Do The Word Or Holiday Guy Fox Day. It’s a Holiday on November the 5th its Also In The V For Vendetta.
If You Do That Would Be Great Thanks
-Blacwin ^^.
I understand that “nyet culture” is in insult in Russia, but why? I understand the literal translation to be not cultured or uncultured, which in American english is not a great insult. Why is that such a great insult in Russia?
What is the origin of the word Topiary
they’re white shorts, not her underwear. fuckface.
Now was that an intelligent statement, Rosiecheeks?
I c something very nice!
hot for words…whats up…what is the origin of the word Knight….is it related to the word night in any way?
i only allowed myself on initialising post / day .. but i have to say this because M looks so great here …
you know what’s so gorgeous about that “Latest Lesson – Peekaboo Wave” pic on the right of the vid ?
.. it’s ..
M looks gorgeously sexpot flithy –
- and M knows she looks gorgeously sexpot flithy, –
- and you know M knows she looks gorgeously sexpot filthy -
- and M knows *you* know she knows she looks gorgeously sexpot filthy –
- and you know she knows you know she knows she looks gorgeously sexpot filty!
- that’s the whole genius of it .. it’s the mind zapping layers of mutual awareness on top that makes it more than a picture!
beautiful.
i don’t care what horrendous things i say about you every now and then, M (i expect you’ve learned to ignore what i say) .. you’re an absolute genius at what you do.
ps .. that “Get My New Calander” ad .. the yellow arrows onto the red “order now” bit .. at first glance i thought that was a MacDonnalds ad.
With Miss M. in Hawaii , it’s time for a beer on a tropical island.

I was checking out of my hotel on Friday and thought “where did the word Inn or Hotel come from”? Thanks!
Hello! So today my English teacher said “Kitankaboodle” and was wondering where it came from. When he said that, HotforWords popped into my head and I thought I would ask you the origin of the word, “Kitankaboodle”
THANKS!
I think the saying is “kit and caboodle”.
I don’t know where it comes from though.
foxbow is a twat
I haven’t seen him posting on twatter.
I don’t have a clue what twatter is.. Looks like where spam goes to die to me. I went on my YT account and apparantly i favourited 4 videos. I NEVER EVEN AVE HEARD OF THEM! so I changed my password.. I hate doing that. Also it was videos all uploaded by the same account
Marina ,you are as a angel as and I love you sooo much!
You will live of onmy heart everytime.
I am kisiing from your sweet cheeks with my loves,

I have a word request and the word is “SHINDIG” as in a party or gathering.
Chemikal Twittered about 11 hours ago:
“How can you tell apart a sunrise picture from a sunset one?!”
The old saying goes:
“Red skies at night, sailor’s delight,
Red skies at morn, sailor’s warnin”
Not sure if it answers the question,
but hey, we aim to be close enough.
Close enough for government work.
You could always look at your watch.
Hey Capman911,
It’s been a couple of days since you last made a comment.
Is everything OK?
CaptainJack came back after what seems awhile and mijj too.
aLx, is missing in action.
It’s just not like you to be miising for so long.
Hurry back
MARINA!! NEW CHANNEL IS HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT
Here’s a Funny Test. See how you do. I am an Idiot Servant.
http://www.helloquizzy.com/tests/the-3-variable-funny-test
Do I gather, from the subject of the quiz, that you’ve been left in charge of the shop while she’s gallivanting?
Don’t forget to feed Gorby – as if he’ll let you.
He’s here at the house playing with my cat. He’s a little persnickety at his eating habits, but he loves cat food.
Yeah, most dogs like to eat cats for dinner.
Best keep them apart.
If they don’t stop I or we are going to have some Dogats.
Or some Cogs? You could build yourself a bionic pet.
IM BACK!!! I had 69 emails…. hi
Hi James glad your back. Marina is in Hawaii on vacation if you didn’t already know. You can see her comments on the Twitter site on the right under MY Tweets.
Doesn’t Marina have a problem pronouncing “W”s?
Might be fun to get her to say, “Check out my tweets on the twitter site.”
WB!
Since no one has commented in a while, here a site that you can get free coffee from Starbucks on Nov the 4th.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a2J8KJDsqqY
Aloha Marina!
I hope it’s not too late for a Hawaiian word request 
Tiki
Looks like you’re having fun in Hawaii! Except for the sunburn! Ouch!!!
Ok Stokes no more links to sites like that. Why would you want to post something like that on this site. This happens to be a decent site. If you keep that up you will be put off the site.
Stokes, you need to stop that! No more!
someone on this site is connected to this site i im going to elimanate them from my book of life
Oh, I do a pretty good job of cutting my own hair. I haven’t been to a barber in over a year.
So do I . I set the clippers on number three and buzz the whole head. When I am through I trim the edges with a trimmer. Free haircut.
Me too. Think of all the money we’ve saved over the years.
@bob you save the same amount of $$$ if you don’t cut your hair.
@Che Volay 2.0, I’d save even more, because I’d save on the electrickery, but I don’t want to end up looking like Howard Hughes.
Oh, I don’t use clippers… I just use a comb, fingers, and scissors, as well as a beard trimmer for the neck-line. I usually cut the sides and back about an inch shorter than the top, and do a good job of blending it.
I don’t have a comment for this video, but I have a link to this Pink music video just because it’s a cool song.
goddammit, Marina!!! .. i thought i’d sneak in to shout a quick “BOO” then sneak out .. but i caught a look at you in the vid ..
.. i think i just came in my pants.
Hi Mijj good to hear from you. Take a shower and
cum come back and chat some more.
Dang what happened now. Not my day.
cum
*slap* stop saying “cum”!!
hi … i’m supposed to be absent for a month (3 weeks more) .. but .. i thought i’d make a thumbprint each day so i don’t forget the place.
M sure does make it hard {..koff..} though, by posting those deluxe sexpot vids.
I think that placeholder pic is the most gorgeous sexiest mind-filth inducing image of M i’ve seen so far. … superb – she’s a genius
… or maybe M intoxication is creeping back – that’s what i’m trying to shake off, dammit!
anyhoo … everyone’s all a-twitter? … how come?
You said it again!
d’oh!
Using the good values that Marina has taught me I decided to investigate a little deeper into the inner workings of who is “hotforwords”. I reference a Chinese Horoscope site.
http://www.usbridalguide.com/special/chinesehoroscopes/Monkey.htm
To my delight I see that she is so perfectly showing us all her true personality. I think that coupled with a very rare energy behind her beauty makes her a package that is adoringly irresistible. Keep in mind that her element is Metal and month is Sagittarian for the modified explanation of people born in the year of the monkey.

actually she is the thirteenth sign no one ever heres about untill she deems it necessary

Word/Phase Request – Blue Laws
My initial investigation says it has something to do with the Puritans, so November being Thanksgiving and all, it would be nice to have some theme lessons.
Your loyal student
Che 2.0
M the homework would be great ask the students to list some Blue Laws
…just read in Wiki that in the New England state Connecticut a person could go to jail for five years for watching porn on a Sunday. I didn’t know they even had porn during the time of the Puritans so I wonder if this is even real.
Word Request: Schematic
My refrigerator is dead. I was looking for a schematic of the controller board and, strangely, it made me think of hotforwords.
Word Request: Myth or Mythology
Marina, could you look into the origins of the word myth or mythology as in do you myth me? Sorry, for the bad joke.
I mean myth as in legendary folk stories in various cultures.
PK they have ways of fixing that hair lip
Thufferin’ Thuccotash, they do? indubitably
My high school basketball coach had a hair lip,
…during the excitement of a game he would start yelling at the refs inevitably he would always draw a technical foul because the ref found him annoying since they didn’t understand his protest.
Word Request: Hero / Heroine
Marina, could you look into the origin of the word hero referring to a fictional or historical figure that in the face of adversity displays courage and the will for self sacrifice for some greater good.
For the sake of an interesting and riveting video, Joseph Campbell and Vladimir Propp might make interesting bullet points as well as others.
Where have all the heroes gone?
I figured by now someone would have said; but Marina already did a lesson on the word Heroin
I just had to amuse myself.
Ohhh, where did amuse come from? A muse? Hmmm, with or without a muse….
Just some musings… now wasn’t that amusing?
Knowing Marina was in Hawaii my first thought this lesson (Peekaboo Wave) was going to be about ‘Sleeper Waves,’ the ocean wave which sneaks up real fast and sweep unsuspecting beach goers off the rocks and then they are drag out to sea in the undertow.
Hi!
I am wondering where the word “stereotype” came from. It has nothing to do with entering data on a keyboard while listening to music, so where did it come from? Have you ever been stereotyped, Marina?
Wickser
The turkey gravatar you all see here will be up through Thanksgiving.
On T-day hopefully my Word Request – Talk Turkey will be the lesson of the day. Also request – Cold Turkey sometime soon.
here’s is some Cold Turkey
How about some Wild Turkey
Veronica would grate ppl the wrong way also she was a lush.
I just noticed that the comment counter above “Recent Comments” at the top right of the page reads 77778, however my last comment is 78722.
Why the discrepancy?
OK Bob,
What’s the history of “M” and “C”?
It’s a “C”cret until Marina does a video on it.
Are we talking tur”C”ey?
So, “M”ums the word?
k, I’ll wait.
I miss lotsa stuff & a lot goes over my head… don’t know what I missed… you shouldn’t have told me, now I’ll want to know… if I didn’t know i wouldn’t miss it…
some are censured I’m sure what do you think
some deleted posts… m a b
Yep, most likely. I missed something towards the top of this page. Maybe “Special TA and ATA Powers” are in use. Can they be edited before they make it to the page or only after?
Take another look at the Jessica Rabbit link you sent me, then tell me you’re not drawn that way
Anyway, I’m happy with the way I’m drawn, and it’s not in the direction you suggest.
I’d still like to see Marina wearing that dress, and if I could pull it off,
I looked too (for a real female Mrs. Rabbit) & I don’t know if the cartoon version was supposed to be a little, how you say, gender confusing too
You never know these days.
Homework
And she drank like a fish! Gorby sure is a loud licker! Great lesson!!! 
Just guessing, Veronica Lake must have been a pain in the ass!
Despite any similarities or resemblances, the first 250 guesses won’t count.
About the time I had to leave Hawaii, guess who shows up.
Ok Klaus finish the vacation for me. 
Hmm, I could easily imagine how Miss HotForWords could cause a lot of injuries by just strutting down the street. None of which she intended to, of course, but unfortunately for most members of the male half of humanity, she’s just too undeniably stunning…
Seriously though, another great lesson from our beloved Marina. I had no idea what a peekaboo wave hairstyle was until I saw this video. No offense to those that might like it, but frankly, I find that hairstyle revolting, dysfunctional and ultimately, unappealing.
Just be your usual beautiful self, Marina, and I’ll love you for that, always.
I’m sorry what was the name of the star?
Hey Larry it was Veronica Lake.
Things that make you go “hmmmm” –
With all the focus on the American election I wondered about the origin of “America”. Naturally your oh so informative site gave the explanation, with the most widely accepted being that it was named after Amerigo Vespucci.
The term is obviously very widespread, with the New World being broken up into North, Central and South America. We have “Native Americans, Latin America (commonly used to refer to people in Central America) and many other references to the term America.
As a Canuck then, how did we Canadians get excluded from this group? We are never referred to as simply North Americans. If, like me, you live in Panama, you are referred to as living in a Central American country, but, if you are in Canada, it is seldom referred to as simply a North American country. Now I know that Canada derives from Kanata (indian tee-pee), but it is odd that we somehow got excluded from this unique America’s club.
Makes you go hmmmmm.
You have the wrong attitude, checmark.
It’s all the others that are excluded from the Canada Club and the Commonwealth.
A baby seal walks into a bar. The barman asks him what he wants to drink and he says, “Anything except Canada Club.”
I see your point Checkmark. Canadians should have been North Americans, USA should have been Middle Americans and of course the South Americans. But I guess Middle didn’t fit into the picture. So Canada is stuck with being part of North America, which I don’t think is bad , the more the merrier. I am glad to call Bob my uncle.
Why is a cramp called a “Charlie horse” ?
Hi Marina, loved your lesson as usual. I wonder if you would tell us the origin of the word ONOMATOPOEIA, meaning a word that that imitates the sound it is describing such as “buzz” or “boom.” Thank you.
Great lesson!
Marina ! I used a special program for viewing your video … and …. I discovered that you have no panties under your red how-do-you-call-it
Can I get that program? Man, this is one of her hottest vids. First time I barely paid any attention to the lesson. Very distracting!
I have to watch them at least twice to hear what she has to say. lol
Such a tease, that girl! I had to watch it again and discovered there’s “zoom in” feature. Who knew? Well, that destroyed the fantasy, as it’s clear she’s wearing white shorts under that sexy little dress. Darn!
then you shouldn’t be on this site. ppl come here to learn. so go kick rocks, get lost.
WOW! You’re going places girl.
Warning, be a good person…….the world is full of the other.
ur calendar will cause a lot of injuries also…
My ‘WORD/PHASE request is…
‘Modus Operandi’
Hi Teacher! I need to know how to send you some Digital artwork I did of you. Tastefully done I might add. You will get a kick from it I think. I hope to hear from you soon.
Justice!
Hi Marina sense you are in Hawaii could you please sing tiny bubbles for us you have a beautiful voice
WTF is wrong with u.
I’M sorry i can’t get out of where i am at.I need a laptop. I LOVE YOU
To link to a specific comment, read this.
It can be done so much easier and quicker -.- but i’m not gonna say it cause you made such a fuss about that one apostrophe thing …..
I don’t know if anyone else noticed, but did Gorby leave a li’l dingleberry on the carpet?
If it’s on the carpet and no longer attached, then by definition it’s not a dingleberry; it’s a …. it’s a …. Oh, gosh, we’re gonna need a contest here, aren’t we?
All I know is while watching that entire video, I was so nervous Marina was gonna accidentally place her left hand right on top of that…what was formally known as a dingleberry and is now a down ‘n’ out, full-blown…”turd”!
Oh, the horror of it all…it would’ve scarred poor fragile Marina for life!
I dunno about Miss Lake,but,back in the 70s My elder Sis got Her long,beautiful,blonde hair caught in a fan when She was drying it.Mom had warned Her not to get so close,then,AAAAHHHHHGGGGGHHHHH,ear piercing scream!Mom says to Her,”Well,it’s too tangled in the fan blade,We’ll have to cut it all off,,AAAAHHHHGGGGHHHH!! again,LOL,My Sis freaked when She heard that! Mom was just teaching Her a lesson,She helped Sis get untangled and it never happened again.
so whos voting!!! dont forget to vote
i vote for Obama 
im from southern california 
I would like to request the word “Amir”.
I’m a Persian male and I know this word has many different meanings, all related to king, but I would like to know it’s origin.
AMIR is a kind of present participle in Arabic and means “ordering”.
What is the hair style today when women have their hair in their eye called. I think it’s called the BOB
i thought they were called Bangs
not when it is only in one eye
Daniel the only thing I could find was called a Scene Hair Style. It refereed to all of the modern styles with the hair in the face.
http://i17.tinypic.com/6q3zm35.jpg
OK thanks cap-man but the one with Paris Hilton did they call that one a Bob. How is everything going for your daughter and son-in-law and your new grand baby GOOD I HOPE
It could be a style of a Bob haircut.
Too bad that hair style bugs you so much, it looks good on you.
anyway Veronica was famous for; an arrest for public drunkenness.
Oh and she was often reffered to as ‘The Bitch’
I believe that in addition to her platinum blonde hair, Lake was also known for her tight sweaters, short stature (4 feet 11 inches) wit and unfortunately, alcoholism.
Another tip – don’t do your makeup while driving. Locally a woman was killed when her car hit hte rear of a tactor trailer. At the autopsy they found she had been using an eyebrow pencil and when the car hit the rear of the trailer, the pencil went through her eye, and into her brain, killing her. And yes, she was a blonde…
And don’t ride around in the front seat with your foot up on the dashboard. Should the inertial sensor detect a collision, the airbag will take your foot off.
(These are all probably urban legends, but it’s good advice nevertheless.)
If it were more than an urban legend, American car makers would put a notice on the dashboard, telling you not to do it.
Some people should wear this notice on their clothing:-
If you stick your foot up on the dash, read this and that. Then tell me about how the automakers will warn you.
I know what I’m saying isn’t an urban legend, it happened. Airbags are powered by a small amount of a type of rocket propellant that forces the bags out at about 200-300 mph. There have been cases of people wearing glasses who lost an eye when the airbag exploded (1st generation airbags. New ones are supposedly safer.). There are also small explosive charges in the seat belts that pull the belt snug in the event of a crash. There are cases of people having been decapitated by their seat belts.

How about, “Didn’t your mother ever tell you not to put your feet up on the furniture?”
Incidentally, if you ever travel to Thailand, be careful never to raise your feet above the level of the floor or to display the sole of your feet to anyone. It is held to be extremely disrespectful and, if you do it to the wrong person, you might get knifed or shot.
Another thing about airbags is if you get into a small wreck and the airbag doesn’t deploy, it can deploy later when you start your car in the driveway or parking lot. I have been to at least one man that his wife had a fender bender in a parking lot and a week later the airbag deployed in their driveway when he got in the car to go to work. That’s why emergency personnel are taught to disconnect the battery and the connections to the airbag if it doesn’t deploy at a wreck scene. The bag could deploy while working on the accident victim and injure the emergency personnel. We now have steering wheel covers that can be strapped to the steering wheel in case of an accident where the bag doesn’t deploy and you can’t get to the connections points of the air bag.
How would you ever know if the sensor is “on the verge” of tripping? Do you replace it upon having the smallest bump? Yikes, that will keep me up nights.
You look Hot. Well, today I learned pop culture during war. I could only guess an answer—zit cream? Perm wave

40′s culture ok
Veronica lake suffered from alcoholism. And she was know for being a bitch it’s too bad one day you have it all the next you have nothing :
She obviously wasn’t the only one suffering from her alcohalism. As is the case with most alcoholics, those around suffer… sometimes more.
Yes that is true
Marina I request phrase word request: distortion fallacious
Sammy
Great little lesson. Ms. Lake was known for over doing it with alcohol and she had a bad personality.
I have no clue. I won’t even look below to cheat
Gorby at the beginning reminded me of an aggie joke(aggie being a Texas a & m student): Two aggies are walking along and they happen upon a dog. As they approach, the dog lies down, leans forward and begins licking his “package”. One of the aggies nudges the the otherand says, “Wow, look at that dog! I sure wish I could do that!” His friend replies, “Well, go pet him a little and maybe he’ll let you.”
Frederick’s of Hollywood makes an interesting “peekaboo”.
Saw a few of them this weekend – Halloween is pretty wild
in Ft. Lauderdale… I’d post you some links, but the kids are
still up.
Veronica Lake married a fisherman, y’know?
What Hotforwords video did you first see ‘chacha. Mine was Women’s Dictionary when it was featured by youtube.
Mine was Sesquipedalian from a HotForWords Veoh channel. I lurked for about two monthes reading comments before I started making responses.
That sesq…whatever one sure gets the attention with that opening ringer.
So many people lurked around awhile… I Jumped right in as soon as I got a chance to comment, but ya’ know what, I’d never left a comment anywhere else before, although I’d bought stuff online & sent a few emails. I’m a shy guy, surprised that I even got married all those years ago… was afraid to talk to girls most of my highschool days, waited till they’d talk to me.
I only recently invited Marina as a friend on YouTube!
When she accepted, I was delighted Tried marriage
at 25, got almost ten years out of it. Spent five years
going through a nasty domestic relations nightmare
involving expensive lawyers (all about the Benjamins).
She’s married to her boss, now – poor schmuck!
My lifetime rejection rate is around 50-50, not bad.
The ones who love me, always will – the ones who
don’t, want to see me in the ground – LOL!
- Andy Griffith as Sheriff Andy Taylor
(from the Andy Griffith Show)
[another fisherman!]
How did it go with your secret service costume.Did you have a good time
Yup! LOTS of women wearing lingerie requested my services (as a bodyguard)! One guy was dressed as Hef (with a pipe and bathrobe), kept scarfing on my action – LOL!
IT’S all ways the man with the most money
Dear совершенная Marina, For your homework. Veronica Lake was known to be very short for an actress. She was 4 feet, eleven and a half inches tall. As your photo indicates, she died of poor health caused by too much drinking of alcohol. She was 51. Also, she didn’t manage her money well, and died a poor person. As your other photo indicates, she had a bad personality, a grating one.
I’m glad you’re enjoying a vacation in Hawaii, and that you posted some videos while you are away. I also enjoyed the photos (most of them) and notes you posted on Twitter. I hope you enjoy your time in Hawaii, and have a safe trip back to us in California!
Your dear student, seesixcm6
Marina,
I love your lessons, You truely have it all going on!! I am a Firefighter on a special operations team, we call ourselves the Black Sheep. We believe this to mean we are the outcasts of the rest of the dept. could you please investigate and let us know the origin and meaning of the words Black Sheep. We take alot of pride in our team name and would love to have a better understanding of it.
Thank you,
Devildoc 8404
THANKS FOR THE PEEK jimj12345
Marina! I’m loving your videos, they always entertain me! I’d like to request the word “Brainstorming”, and the expression “Dull as a doorknob” thank you!
toilet paper alone won’t get it clean enough which causes hemoroids wash it with a wash cloth after will
Hello Marina,
I’ll take the hint that you cleverly added to your video- the cheese grater toilet paper roll- “she was a pain in the ass”.
I just read in Wikipedia that she was diagnosed as schizophrenic.
More bloopers please.
Thank you, Marina
Hey Warren I don’t know what “Q” stands for. I know they all use letters as names. Do you know the answer?
“Quarter Master” was the one a soldier went to for supplies.
Sorry cap’, not payin attention, When I drive I rarely check the dash… might be a warning lite come on & my consciense wouldn’t allow me to go on. Anyways I think I was there once or twice, is it a usefull tool… I’ll check again, gotta be simpler than figuring out twitter.
Hello Capman911,
When someone is a little “slow” they’re called a “turkey”. I heard that a turkey is a bit dumber than the average bird.
Che Volay asked for Turkey related words. I was wondering where the name “Turkey” came from and how it’s related to the bird that is used for the US custom of Thanksgiving.
Oh by the way, I asked you about the turkey question because I thought that you were keeping track of words for Marina.
Why don’t you do right… “Peekaboo” Jessica Rabbit
BillyB What is your question on Twitter?
I really like that style of music.
You know the the kind with the oversized mic in hand.
Jennifer Connelley did a great job in Dark City.
Like the Cherry Poppin’ Daddies.
This scene in Streets of Fire was classic.
Great advertisement for Evostick.
I bet Marina wouldn’t have the bottle to wear it.
Now where does that phrase come from? To have the bottle, meaning to be brave.
Then I bet you’ll like Makin’ Whoopee, eh?
Ooohh Yeahhh…..
When Marina picked up a mic for her Karaoke show,
I went Ka-razy!
Hey Warren, I’m not keeping tabs on the words right now. She has caught up and is picking them out now. Thanks anyway.
Mike
Ok, Thanks.
Sorry to bother you.
I was wondering about the origin of “007″ in regards to James Bond. I hear the movie due out in acouple weeks “Quantum of Solace” will be great. In honor of that, I was also wondering the meaning of “solace”
Read up on Ian Fleming. He is the one who wrote the books on the James Bond series. Then they went to being made into movies.
Do you know what “Q” stands for?
Do you know that “M” should really be “C”?
The origin of “C” might make a good investigation for “M” to make a video on.
Sounds like the lawn mower guy graduated to a top of the line rider mower with a horn.
Lucky he’s not a Zombie or Gorby would fix em good.

It looks like a Gorby rock lying on the ground
Good one though.
That’s exactly what it is.
A painted rock.
Bui very well done.
Yeah, looks almost photographic.
She didn’t see it coming ’cause of the peekaboo hairstyle
Hello BillyB,
Alice in Wonderland-ok, I don’t remember that.
I found this for Peek-a-Boo.
Kim bassinger was supposed to look like Veronica Lake. in the movie L.A.Confidential.
BillyB did you figure out the Dashboard?
I take it you made up an inventory of lessons ahead of time so that you could enjoy your vacation uninterrupted. Smart thinking.
Your wave is on the “wrong” side from V.L.’s. (If it got caught in machinery, I suppose you would be flung around clockwise instead of counterclockwise.) I am not in favor of anything that covers up your pretty eyes.
One thing, drinking, effected her career and eventually killed her. As for the second, does the inset at 01:55 have anything to do with it? Did she insist upon cheese graders instead of toilet paper in her dressing room? I hope you will explain this mystery to us, so that we can sleep at night.
And, my! Such a little potty mouth when the horn blew! {Gorby covers his ears with his paws.}
Veronika Lake was known for two other things that affected her career.
She was SO SHORT that it was difficult to match her with a right sized guy for the movies. They started looking around for midgets. A short time later…
She was a boozer… chuggin’ every cocktail imaginable… including “Screech! a famous potent rum from Newfoundland, Canada. As their tradition goes, she kissed a live codfish on the lips then took three quick shots of Screech… then she got a piece of her peekaboo hair caught in its mouth. She screamed and slipped on the wayward side of the boat… bonked her head… and fell into the Atlantic Ocean… peekaboo haircut first (head first).
i think you got the right combo…prolly why she paired well with Alan Ladd…
Never play with your food.
“Forum” was the word I had been stuttering over- Thank you.
Yah… it took at bit of head scratchin’ to figure out what “this” is.
Tap! tap! tap! is this thing on
Testors ……Elmers…..
Dupont Pliobond…
That’s ‘Crazy’ and so ‘Super’
Well, it’s not Crazy Glue or anything like it. It came in a small brown glass bottle and was a coffee-colored liquid rubber that dried to a tough, rubbery film. It was good for glueing rubber, fabrics, leather and even metal together. Because it didn’t dry hard, like Crazy Glue, it could withstand shock and stuck like… uh, crazy.
It was re-packaged for retail by Goodyear, but manufactured by Tenneco, I think, which only sold it in 55-gallon drum. I don’t believe it’s sold retail any more because of the VOC rules. One whiff and your lungs would instantly involuntarily blow out any air in them to exhaust the fumes in a hurry; it was “unhuffable.” Wicked stuff, but it worked great. I wish I still had some, because I need to glue a bicycle pump diaphragm.
Don’t forget the new one on the market, Gorilla Glue.
Did you figure out the twitter thing? All I can see are my own comments and Marina’s. I don’t think she can even see the @hotforwords comments made by chevolay on twitter.
Not yet Che. I see her’s and mine and BillyB’s and Jacks but like you I don’t think she has accepted our invites so she can watch our comments. If you add me on to yours you can see mine and I can watch yours but I think you have to be accepted first.
OK I will try to add you, I guess I have to go to your YT account to paste in your email address. Unless I can search Capman on twitter.
I haven’t asked for an invite from Marina… I just kinda barged in
I still haven’t figured out how to look at it yet, but I did upload a couple of my own pics to my twitter.
What a silly name “twitter”
Mike I just added you to follow, all I had to do was click on your name in TwitPic.
Hey wasn’t that a cartoon?
Twitter Dee and Twitter Dumb?
Close Alice In Wonderland.
Question on twitter, or about twitter?
I have fun trying to figure out where to respond here (at the website) too
…about twitter
I’m not used to the twitter format, clicked around awhile, ended up going in circles. figured out the photo thing a bit, saw your comment on the tender looking legs, hope she’s not as burnt as she looks. Shoulda’ listened to her Mama (Wear Sunscreen)
BTW are you getting emails when someone replies here? Mine stopped.
Yes I get E-mails sometimes they are slow, I’ll see the reply while I’m refreshing before incoming. Are you using Yahoo?
…. uploading photos now on TwitPic.
Bam all my emails showed up @ once (Hotmail), kept refreshing & had to go into an old email, then it woked again… I’ll go look
the two things that affected her life?…drinkin’, ‘course and learning to pilot a plane…
number two could also be that she was said to be “difficult” to work with on set…i.e., one of the first movie star meglamaniacs…
or even “megalomanics”…lol…
oh, i give up…i will not be a megalomaniac about this…
silly guys here who’s been here the longest

Nice dress Marina. I’ll watch the lesson later on tonight.
busy bailing out?
My internet here is dog slow. It takes about 20 to an hour to download her 3 minute lesson. My internet sucks here. Im getting a lot of interference here.
Hi CJ! Good to see your mug around these here parts again.
Thanks PD, Good to see you too.
That’s not merely a dress. She chose it specifically because of the title of the lesson; it’s known in the rag biz as a “peekaboob*.” I really like the way it senuously floats around her (technically, “dynamic fluid yummiliciousness”) as compared to the static, more-tightly-bound traditional garb that she usually wears.

*I just made it up, but could anyone have done better?
Nope not a bit CK, you done that just fine, my compliments to the chef.
So good to see you again. I typed this slow so your internet can keep up
Hi from Oz.
4th Buz and I are lonely.
Could some one translate what Marina said for home work as I couldn’t understand her accent.
veronica was known for two other things that affected her career, what were they?
being a pain in the ass and drinking too much?
Cheese-grater toilet paper and an assortment of colorful libations… OK, perhaps she drank a lot, and had no ass?
damn you must’ve fallen asleep.
I was going back through all of the early videos to see who was here first and if there still here. I have a short list of members who was first and who is still here. Plus I turned down my audio and couldn’t hear if new email was coming in.
THANKS, SO WHO IS ON THE LIST?
Doesn’t Gorby have a peekaboo wave, with his hair hanging in front of his eyes?
V.L.’s look was combing it over one eye. Gorby’s is draped over both eyes. It’s not a look, it’s a pair of safety goggles.
Hey Buzz
hey, a recent conversation had me thinking about how long some of us have been posting on hfw. me, since february 08′ you since april 08′. got me to thinking about who have been here for awhile, you, me, alex, bob… who else? and then some of the crowd that have seemingly moved on… trgoblin, prospero811. am i missing anyone?
hmm… billyb has been here since december 07′. wonder who is still active and been here the longest. billyb might be it.
Hasn’t Karl been around for a long time?
karl june 08′
Alex, Prospero811 2/1/08 the first video, BillyB 2/17/08, ErrinF 2/23/08, you, Captain Jack, Pagedoll, me, RRR, Tayljim, Tedt, Huchiee, Stokes, PT9, Dictionary.com, Tonguetwister, Lividemerald, matalexwolf, a few more that comes and goes.
I stopped after about June or July. It’s hard to believe that some of the early videos only have like 10, 15, 20 or so comments compared to 3 to 4 hundred or so now.
Don’t forget “labatt78″, been coming around faithfully a long time now.
labbatt78 08.02.12, 100th video.
Hello Buzzword,
Yes, I was being sneaky. Like Capman911, I too felt strange commenting to/about people and Marinas show.
This is my first participate/respond online group that I’ve been a part of and it took a bit of time to feel comfortable enough to join in. I think Marina has a gift about her that brings people to the “front row” and makes everybody feel comfortable. Also this site has so many people from all over the world that it would be a shame not to participate whenever possible.
How do you use the “dashboard” (Asks the certified mechanic)
I joined in Feb. 2008.
I watched all of the lessons but I didn’t start commenting until maybe June.
Same as me Warren, I joined earlier, but I didn’t start commenting until later. I felt kinda awkward because I had never been on a site like this before.
hrm… your a sneaky bastard. lurking around in the dark.
Pour moi, it was in the spring… surfin’ with a wireless iPod Touch… that I found this hotforwords site. First time I have ever been part of a “forum”.
no billyb’s first comment was on christmas/holiday card. alex’s first comment was on 08.02.01, that’s dope. prospero811 first comment was on 07.12.31 on cats and dogs. errinf first comment was on 08.02.17 on i’m mortgaged to death. matalexwolf’s first comment was on 08.01.05 on racecar. hitman’s first comment was on 08.02.03 on that’s dope. bob’s first comment under marinas morris was on 08.02.07 on that’s egregious. roadrunrnch’s first comment was on 08.04.21 on bbq answer.
Are you going by youtube dates or HoForWords web site. I got dates from was Marina’s web site.
i think billyb’s got them beat, christmas/holiday card 07.12.02. i’m using the hfw site.
But the first video on this site wasn’t posted until Feb 2008
http://www.hotforwords.com/2007/03/02/intro-to-philology/
um… no. look here.
That’s got me befuddled. How can the first vid on this site come out in 2008 but the Christmas cards came out in December of 2007?
dude, check out the 07′ archive.
grunt.
I was watching Phil Francoise yesterday and thought he was you as he has your picture hanging on the wall. I was thinking damn Buzz can talk real fast.
Defranco
i used to be a model. yeah, saw that to. was wondering when someone was going to notice. have no idea were that pic comes from.
