If they grew these nuts in Skopje, would they be called “Makedonia” nuts?
keep wearing red you look wonderful
I like them, a few years ago i wnet to australia and tasted they are really good. some friends made a cake of it…
I usually like them in cookies, especially when combined with white chocolate bits.
Hi Marina, love Macadamia nuts, i have a bit of a collection, dont know how long they last though. Anyway i have twin Macadamia nut,,,split in half like twins and perfectly shaped, never want to eat it, its a freak of nature.
Waxit
btw, Marina, be careful with Macadamia nuts around Gorby-Kobe…
Macadamia nut toxicosis in dogs
phrase request: trip the light fantastic please do this phrase 4 me…
those fingers M’s holding up in the twitpic .. is that how drunk she’s gonna get out of 5?
if she turns her hand around is that gesture equal to giving the finger in GB?
yes .. actually M is telling us all to fuck off .. she’s just a little confused about the cultural details of the V sign.
Dear Marina
i want you
to comment the fantastic word EQUINOX
ok…the shot with the float prolly made the guys here go nuts…
me included…
but i have an aversion to most nuts…the very odor of peanut butter makes me cringe…oddly, though, i’ll eat peanuts fresh out of the ground – they’re very sweet.
so i’ve never tried Macadamian nuts…send me some & i’ll try ‘em…
Hi Marina,
I want to know the origin of the word : name.
Thanks
I was wondering how come some places they write persons. Is that a mistake or is there a reason for that?
@ ChaCha

I love Hawaii. I don’t like Macadamia nuts, but they rank higher than Brazil nuts, filberts, and hazelnuts. I don’t like poi, either. But Hawaii is beautiful. If I was rich, I’d live there 6 months out of the year. I lived and worked there twice for extended stays, and it was very positive, but after a while, one gets island sickness.
I don’t like them but i like hazzlenuts and the peanuttis
I love macadamia nuts.
hi marina,can you tell me were the word RANDY originated from.i don`t mean the name.
many thanks

Hi Marina,
The origin of the phrase Far Fetched
Hi Marina!
I want to know the origin of the word, facsimile.
Marina, Or anyone else here. I really want to but these boots. UGG are so comfy anyways.
http://www.treds.co.uk/product/8355
Uggs I want
….ok
That was interesting. They are good to a point, and best in cookies or chocolate covered.
I love em in cookies but I love eating them regularly as well.
I would like to request the word “fine” I am curious why the word seems to have developed two levels of meaning. On the one hand, it is used to say something is just okay, or adequate. “Don’t worry, I’m fine.” But it is also used to describe things of excellent quality, such as fine wine, fine art, or fine dining.
yeah , i liked them so much , like you , i had to take a break from them …..
Tell the truth, guys. How many of you have been staring at the ocean through Marina?
Ocean? What the hell are you talking about?
lololol , me too
Dez: The opening frame shows her walking down a concrete structure (jetty, pier, etc.) with an air mattress. You can just see the ocean in a certain place if you look ever so closely. I don’t know why that seems so interesting to me, but it does.
I have a word request for you Marina:
What is the origin of the term Rock and Roll?
Thanks!
It’s an underground slang term for drugs, meaning literally, crack and marijuana.
It’s true I tell you.
Sorry, but rock and roll are both euphamisms, but not for drugs. Keep looking
Yes, we know what they mean, but Marina might be “listening” so…
Zdrastvyute Marina!
I would like to know the meanings and origin of the adjective “meet” which more or less i take to mean “appropiate.” It is meet and right that you honor my request

Macadamia nuts are great.
But like Shakespeare said, “A rose by any other name…”
If they had originally been called “von Muller’s” then that name would seem right to us, and “Macadamia” would sound wrong.
***Word request!***
What is the etymological link between:
supervisor

overseer
bishop

Three words from American politics:

They all start and end with a letter.

I never thought twice about the origin of the name for
macadamia nuts! What an interesting tidbit to learn

i mean … wha..? .. where did that one come from? .. the shebang is the entire universe? so .. what’s this “shebang” business?
ahem .. that should be …
word request: “the whole shebang”
Shebop, too!
“Shebang” comes from a combination of the theories that the universe began with the Big Bang and that God is a woman.

Hi Marina, I’ve been a big fan of yours for a while, and never left a comment. But talking about Macadamia nuts is very close to home. When I first ate them they were called Queensland nuts here, in Queensland. Or Bauple nuts. We always reckoned that “Macadamia” was a plot by Hawaii to steal our heritage away!
Do I like these nuts – wow – I’ve never heard of them before!
Nick
Homework answer; I don’t remember.

I heard the word “hiccup” today, and know that it is also spelled as “hiccough.” Would you find it interesting or challenging to research its origin?
I would like you to do ” beef “. As in you have a beef with someone. You know like rappers have a beef.

Another ignorant question from Marina’ s resident computer dumbass(that would be me, of course): lately I don’t receive the E-mail which should precede Teach’ s vids until minutes or sometimes hours after the vids are posted. What be da deal wid dat?
yo.!?
Most of ours is the same way. The new posts are slower hitting your email. I can only remember one time when they were received like a few minutes after the new video came out. So It’s not just you Originalistrick.
Thanks, Mr. C.
its better to just sign up for the feeder. i have the same deal with the email so i just recently stopped them.
I just now received the post in my email for this video.
Chew on this!

Marina, what did you do to Gorby poor dog. I thought you loved him.
ugh! .. that’s awful .. that poor dog doesn’t look happy at all.
Gorby is the Teacher’s Pet, duhhhh…..
Would you if you looked like that?~~~~~~~~~ Well on the other hand you probably do. hehehehehehehe
Look in the mirror YODA!
That’s for calling me an ugly sod.
Yoda is a minature ogre…a mini me of shrek. Apparently when you shrink and ogre you get a jedi master.
I would even go so far as to say that Yoda is of the Hobbit form of an Ogre.
His head even resembles the shape of a Macadamia Nut.
Ogre am I, for compliment thanks. Yeesssssss.
“That’s for calling me an ugly sod.”
.. but .. but .. i thought you were proud to be an ugly sod .. weren’t you!?
It’s plain to see that the dog is running for office. It just hasn’t grasped the concept of sound bite yet.

I don’t blame Ya there Sam I Am.
I don’t do that kind of thing either.
I thought Macadamia was that south Slavic country that Serbia, Greece, and Bulgaria keep bickering over.
(Kidding!)
Hey that reminds me (***WORD REQUEST***)
Why DO we say “Masedonia” instead of “Makedonia” like we should?
Or “Selt” instead of “Kelt” (I notice YOU say it correctly!)
Or for that matter, Julius “Seezer” instead of Kaesar like he called himself?
(Did you know he had epilepsy? Maybe that’s why he’s called Julius Seizure.)
Is this part of that whole “endonym / exonym” thing?
I always wondered about that deal – Celtic women(Keltic) vs. Boston Celtics(Seltics) – whoa, there’s an idea: Celtic women challenging the Celtics? At roundball, wrestling, or what?
If you do a word study of Caesar, you may find it quite humorous. It doesn’t mean what most think it means.

Hey marina, I was wondering if you could explain the origins of the word “Teetotaler”. It’s such a funny sounding word, and why does it refer to people who don’t drink alcohol?
Personally, I think they taste okay, but I don’t like them too much.
oh yeh!! .. what kind of character should M present at the YTube Live do?
.. i liked that Hollywood Bitch Starlet pic of M’s (in Hawaii). I think she should go in that style of persona.
Man, you are so right. Although the Sexy Schoolgirl thing is amazing, too. And what about the Hot Teacher getup? Crap, I’ve gotta go away for awhile – I’ m turning into Boner Man!!!!!!
ahem … get a hold of yourself, man!
.. erm …
i didn’t mean sexpot pose character .. i meant as a character in the crowd.
i was thinking of the Hollywood Bitch Starlet with the big black shades looking like she’d just ripped someone’s balls off for bringing her a drink in the wrong shaped glass.
I know…
ok
word request : bizarre!!!
that’s the latest in my extremely long sequence of unheeded word requests!!
Goddammit!!! .. and now someones gonna see this and think “Yeh! That’s a good one! I’ll make a vid request for it!!”
{… grrrrr … i’m annoyed that i didn’t think before posting – and now i can’t delete the request!! ..}
how about bazaar?
hey .. that’s a good one!
i second that suggestion!
I second that one along with rhetoric. Is not it bizarre of the world economy: with the cheap nations forgetting about the true value of what people do? BRITICISM bUY and sell
I was thinking that maybe she would mention our names more often
if we came prepared for school.
Miss Orlova,

Lately, this past week, I have been working up an appetite by eating 1 1/2 foot long subs there on a daily basis. I usually order the Roasted Chicken Breast with all the fresh cut veggies. Then it got to the point where I was hungry enough that I switched to a footlong double-meat, extra cheese. But now I’m eating normal again.
Marina I just keep falling in love with you over and over again. Your gorgeous and more than that intelligent and educated. The dress you were wearing is incredibly (and I’d hate to use the word since I think it’s immature most of the time) sexy. You drop my jaw every time I see you.
You’re going Nuts for Marina!
If I found a nut… I’d name it after our teacher…
The Marina Nut or the Orlova Nut….
Sounds good to me…
Marina’s Hazelnut Chocolate Collection.
Capman – how in the world did you come across that? Hilarious!
Marina, here’s an idea for you: get them to make a foot-tall chocolate figure of you that you can sell. It will be mind-blowing to your male fans. They will stare at it for days until they just can’t stand it any more and then you will “succumb to the tongue.” Yum, yum, yum, yum (burp). This will be interesting on so many levels. People will start asking, “How do you eat Marina? Do you bite her head off first and then gobble her up, or do you slo-o-o-wly lick away at her until she is gone?” Psycologists will write PhD theses on the phenomenon and the celeb TV shows will call you wicked (but give you air time). You could do a study to see how many licks one candy gives and then, by multiplying by the number of units sold, create a McDonald’s-like tag line, “15,000,000 licks sold!”
I don’t think any celebrity has done this before, so you would have a clean slate. I would suggest mystery — never, never comment on your candy except to say your slogan and brand name, “Bite me!” (BTW, this was a registered trademark for chocolate, but it is now abandoned. You are in luck. Go register it.) Soon this will enter the language as your slogan, like P. Hilton’s “That’s hot.” As they say in the ad game, you will own it.
In the words of the late General Curtis E. LeMay, “Stop wasting time and get to work.”
And now for M’s probably reaction to the idea — she doesn’t really like it, but for some reason, she just can’t put it down.
Milaya Marina,
WORD REQUEST: How about some more Scottish eponyms: macadam road paving, macintosh raincoat, macintosh computer, and…claymore mines. For extra credit, what kind of weapon was a claymore BEFORE it was the name of a mine? (Hint: it’s cognate with Latin “gladiolus major” and Welsh “cleddyf mawr”)
Evan Owen
A claymore was a sword used in Scottland by the military. It was a basket hilted broadsword. most people mistakenly think its the sword wallace used in the film braveheart but that was a different sword that was typical of the “less civilized” highland Scots. Do I get the extra credit?
Bravo, Scott. I’d have called Wallace’s sword a claymore, because the Gaelic simply means “big sword.” Thanks for clarifying.
Hi Marina, it will be nice for you to explain the word fast food.Thak yeee
By the way Hot For Words Rocks
Good Job,see you soon
Since Captain Jack missed out on Veterans Day, I present a funny but true tale of naval heroism…
USS CONSTITUTION
“OLD IRONSIDES”
The U. S. S. Constitution (Old Ironsides), as a combat vessel, carried 48,600 gallons of fresh water for her crew of 475 officers and men. This was sufficient to last six months of sustained operations at sea. She carried no evaporators. However, let it be noted that according to her log:
On July 27, 1798, the USS Constitution sailed from Boston with a full complement of 475 officers and men, 48,600 gallons of fresh water, 7,400 cannon shot, 11,600 pounds of black powder and 79,400 gallons of rum.
Her mission: “To destroy and harass English shipping.”
Making Jamaica on 6 October, she took on 826 pounds of flour and 68,300 gallons of rum. Then she headed for the Azores, arriving there 12 November. She provisioned with 550 pounds of beef and 64,300 gallons of Portuguese wine. On 18 November, she set sail for England.
In the ensuing days she defeated five British men-of-war and captured and scuttled 12 English merchantmen, salvaging only the rum aboard each. By 26 January, her powder and shot were exhausted. Nevertheless, although unarmed she made a night raid up the Firth of Clyde in Scotland. Her landing party captured a whiskey distillery and transferred 40,000 gallons of single malt Scotch aboard by dawn. Then she headed home.
The USS Constitution arrived in Boston on 20 February, 1799, with no cannon, no shot, no food, no powder, no rum, no wine, no whiskey and 38,600 gallons of stagnant water.
G O N A V Y !
Good Story
watta ya do with a drunken sailor
Oh yea great story!
Sadly I have to report that it is just a story. An urban legend. 
People tend to believe stories they hear without doing any research to prove them. If there is one thing I learned from Marina is that we have to do our research for links to facts. Otherwise we are just promoting false knowledge. I have passed on many stories and later on found out they where false. Very embarrassing. 
Thanks!
I do appreciate you dedicating the story for I missed out on Vets day.
I agree. That works out to 883 55-gallon* barrels, which would probably fill up most of the available below-deck space from what I remember from my last visit.
____
*Of course, back then they probably used hogsheads or some other barrel capacity, but cubic feet are cubic feet.
Here’s the real history… but I still like the story:
http://www.history.navy.mil/constitution/ironhist.htm
Dezdkado, The two paragraphs that I found in your link is the nail in the coffin on this story. Good work on the research Dez!
Yep that pretty much puts this story to bed. Or I should say cool bedtime story.
yea, I like macadamia nuts, it’s that in Canada, you can’t get real ones
Did you notice the bright smile on Marina while she was signing my calendar?
Macadamia nuts… gotta have it… so addictive. Try eating just one. No can do. Dang, I’m going shopping right now, I’m out of Macadamia nuts again.
I saw her putting on lipstick too Klaus. Yours must be getting a kiss.
do you think we can find out before its shipped if we were one of the first 100?
My guess is probably not. I don’t think Marina had the first 100 orders in front of her with our names. If she did, that would have been kewl. She could even make a personal comment. She could get a list of orders, but then she would have to publish it with initials only or send everyone an email. All of that takes time, I;m sure.
If Marina is hearing our plea, she might even answer us here, assuming her wrist is still intact.
i even emailed the company that is shipping them to try to find out. they said that they didn’t have that information. how in the hell do they not have the information? anyway i guess its just something that they either want to do or don’t want to do…
This might be thought of as the Calender effect. Similar though not the same as the Callendar effect. Some might say it’s similar to the Peltier effect.
That’s cool and hot at the same time.
Hello pendanticKarl,
I was reading the comments from today and I decided to look up a few things and I just had to share some of them with somebody. I didn’t think that you’d mind very much.
Here’s a few more:
If I’d wanted you to know what I’m thinking, I’d be talking.

Some people think of the glass as half full. Some people think of the glass as half empty.
I think of the glass as too big.

It is a far far better thing to have a firm anchor in nonsense
than to put out on the troubled seas of thought.

Thanks for sharing these Warren, I hadn’t heard them before. You’d think I heard every Carlin thought, but maybe there are so many that I forgot.

Can you research the word ’shotgun’ in reference to a passenger’s seat?
In case Marina doesn’t get to it, the phrase “riding shotgun” dates back to the age of stagecoaches in the American West. The man next to the driver carried a shotgun to ward off hostiles and bandits.
100!
I do not eat Macadamia Nuts.
Homework: Yes, I eat and enjoy Macadamia nuts… but like my fellow Southerners, I prefer the Pecan and the improperly named Peanut (a legume, not a nut).
Ok Dez lets see if your a true southerner. Do you pronounce it peecan or pecon
Hehe… if I called it a pee-can, my grandfather would rise from the grave and pummel me senseless. I don’t know if pronouncing it as peh-cahn makes me a true southerner or not.
Here’s something a Southerner can understand…
Home Builders’ Friend
This is truly a heartwarming story about the bond formed between a little girl and some construction workers. This makes you want to believe in the goodness of people and that there is hope for the human race…
A young family moved into a house next door to a vacant lot. One day a construction crew turned up to start building a house on the empty lot. The young family’s 5-year-old daughter naturally took an interest in all the activity going on next door and started talking with the workers. She hung around and eventually the construction crew, all of them gems-in-the-rough, more or less adopted her as a kind of project mascot. They chatted with her, let her sit with them while they had coffee and lunch breaks, and gave her little jobs to do here and there to make her feel important. At the end of the first week they even presented her with a pay envelope containing a dollar. The little girl took this home to her mother who said all the appropriate words of admiration and suggested that they take the dollar pay she had received to the bank the next day to start a savings account. When they got to the bank, the teller was equally impressed with the story and asked the little girl how she had come by her very own pay check at such a young age.
The little girl proudly replied, “I worked all last week with a crew building a house.”
“My goodness gracious,” said the teller, “and will you be working on the house again this week, too?”
The little girl replied, “I will if those useless sons-a-bitches at Home Depot ever bring us any drywall that’s worth a shit!”
Can’t pronunce it.
Mouth is full.
You are a southener. Just razzing. Usually northerners pronounce it peh-cahn and we just sling it out as an ole peecan.
That was my “Yankee” grandfather… from Iowa. When he was a boy he was sent to live with family in Texas, and took his “Northern” pronunciations with him. I think all of the “R”s that Bostonians don’t use float up in the atmosphere and rain down on Iowa. That grandfather would add “r”s to lots of words, like “idear”… as in, “That notion you’ve got is a great idear.” My Texas relations all say pecan as “pee-can”, especially in reference to pee-can pie.

Hello Marina,
Everything is good baked in cookies.
Nuts? Whatever is in trailmix.
Hey Warren…the is/was funny!
I should have written; “when baked in cookies”.
But, do you know what is really funny?
Gorby/Kobi needs a tripod when he’s filming.
The wharf shot would have been much better for viewing if he had remembered to take one on the trip. Poor Gucci, he had to stay at home with relatives.
I also visited a factory once, where they make chocolate covered Macadamia nuts, on the Big Island of Hawaii.
I don’t remember the name of the city, since I did a number of road trips in other areas, but it might have been Hilo.
I love Macadamia Nuts but like all good things it is best to enjoy them in moderation……..
I wonder if Steve Carell visits the HotForWords website, or that at least he should.
That’s funny, on this Leno show he mentions a lot of phrases that Marina has done.
dude that was a great show of an interview with steve carrel. sorry i can’t spell…

I agree. We might as well be at the party even though we aren’t at the party. But we will need plenty of beer on hand as the list grows.
ooo … i dont know, dez .. i dont think anyone else should be punished by having to take a drink each time M breathes.
Hey Leonard! Nah, no preaching, but some teaching. I’m strictly non-prophet and non-profit.
I’ve been away for a while due to family medical issues. My mother has been sick for quite a while (cancer and its treatment) but she has turned a corner and is improving greatly.
Thanks…Hope and prayers for your MOM…
I lost my mother December of 2007…peace out 
I think it’s a fair trade for the joy we receive from watching each breath… but I was referring to the sigh-smile-batting combo.
The only time I have eaten Macadamaia nuts is when they were in something someone else fixed or store bought cookies. Great video as I don’t think I would wanted to have eaten Von Mueller nuts.
Check out my new vid: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Nzgho_Y9tDY
Hope y’all like it!
Just watched it. That is some beautiful scenery. Great video. Left you a message on your site.
You have to be responsible with your freedom of speech, guys. Now, she’s turned her back and walking on by.
I found the longest super thread ots on the james at war post and about half way down its HUGE!
I knew Macadamia nuts originated from Australia before you did this video.
Also, pineapples originated from Mexico, and sugarcane from Indonesia (I think, I may got some of the locations mixed up.)
Well, I was right about the sugar cane, but the pineapple actually originated from southern Brazil and Paraguay.
HA that guy wrote to me on youtube. Well I thought I should post it here
This is the thread
http://www.hotforwords.com/2008/11/14/macadamia-nut/#comment-82615
i would say we are all adults but obviously you are not and i am guessing you never gave a woman oral sex or any sex period and i have read comments worse then the one i left and all i wanted to know was when did oral sex on a woman became called eating out and yes i would like to lick every part of her if i had a chance and i know i dont and i was fucking off on the pc where is your scence of humor or learn to ignore some things grow up its a joke why do you think she dresses in that way on the net and has 100,000,000 hits on you tube so dont leave me any message telling me how sick i am i have heard that she was sick for doing what she does but i think its great learning from a hot chick i pay more attention to her then any teacher i had in school
No I have never given anyone a sex period. I am not that brutal.
Yes I agree philology is a disgusting slutty thing to do and Marina should be ashamed of herself for finding the ….. origins of words
Take a look at my tongue video. Then you will get an idea!
HAHA
nuts
Hi Marina,
I would like to know the origin of the word “drool”?
It is something people do in their sleep and maybe during watching your videos
Thanks,
Dale
There’s a club I go to which on Wednesday nights is ‘tiny black dress nite’ for the ladies. Ladies in tiny black dresses receive a discount on their cocktails.
You would are welcome anytime Marina.
Define “tiny”.
Use your imagination
Are you inciting me to use of pornography?
It’s not quite all black, but does it remind you of

Dear совершенная Marina, Yes, I enjoy Macadamia nuts, but they’re expensive here in California, at about $5 for a small bottle. Most Macadamia nuts sold here are from Hawaii. I’ve never seen any from Australia. Perhaps Australians don’t export them? Hawaiian Macadamias are very tasty, as nice as seeing you walk away from the camera in that tiny bathing suit and holding a green air matress!
I look forward to receiving your calendar and to see your performance on YouTube Live! on the 22nd. It’s likely I’ll enjoy both!
Your dear student, seesixcm6
I realized something today. If i dont comment people dont talk to me! WOW
Then comment, so we can talk to you.
HI”
Marina doesn’t seem to have that problem. I wonder why.
Dear MArina! Can you send me this calendar in Moscow please! i will pay!
Well I am having problems at the moment

could it be cause of people like these
Could you give the word origin of “Warez”
WLIU, I think you have to start with the ph thing, as in phishing. It all began with hackers when the only thing around to hack (pre-PC, you know) was the telephone system. They were phone phreaks. Later, after substituting PH for F, other substitutions were made, e.g. Z for S as in warez. The meaning is software that is illegally copied. That’s it in uh, a nutshell.
yeah I love them
just plain , no chocolat or something…
@ the end it says : Get my new calendar !, with “calendar” origins!….. don’t you mean “word” origins…
I noticed that but i thought it mean origins about the calendar days and months
Homework
Awesome lesson Marina!
I love Macadamia nuts especially Macadamia nut cookies! YUM!
stun|nuts
I don’t think I’ve tried them. Only Peanuts, Sunflower Seeds, Almonds, and Walnuts. Possibly cashews too. I just remember a bag of red nuts and I was eating them.
i wan ask a word… “john doe”
hmm.
Coincidentally, I just looked that up in this pretty good article the other day. (Non-coincidentally I can’t remember why I looked it up.)
I don’t think I have macadamia nuts before.
marina when did the act of a man giving a women oral sex become known ass eating out.becouse you look like one lovely dish i would like to eat for appetizer main dish and dessert and then for after dinner well i am sure you get the idea
You are a sick fuck. Wow. Expulsion is on the way for you.
Yep, that’s usually the way it works.
No, you can’t fuck in class can you bob.
the best fuck is a ‘mind fuck’
Yea! I do that way to much.
Most people don’t even know that I have done it to them. 
JAMES you ‘re so rude!!
“blueskies13”:
This site is for serious students ONLY, those who treat Ms. Orlova with RESPECT (even when joking). If you’re going to post smutty remarks, go back to YouTube.
“…ass eating out.”? Now there is Freudian slip.
Homework: I tried them once and they were delicious… until I got an allergic reaction. Oh well, I guess it wasn’t to be :’(
Word Request: I would love to find out where the word “Graffiti” originated and why is it still used today.
Homework: can’t say I’ve tried them… I predict that I probably will like them, once I get round to trying them, though:-)
Yea, Teacher got her furniture back. Did Kobie / Gorby get a vacation, too? Commercial for Almond Joy / Mounds candy: “Sometimes I feel like a nut, sometimes I don’t.” If I were a nut, what name would you give me?
How about Pokeanut
Yep
Marina is wearing a vest with ‘peace’ signs while signing the calendars.
wow.
I just prefer a fuck
Awesome outfit, Marina. You really look good in the darker, more saturated colours – they emphasize your blondeness.
I have never seen macadamia nuts for sale anywhere, only macadamia flavoured icecream which I have never tried.
I’ve just read that macadamia nuts are very beneficial for heart health, containing the highest amount of beneficial monosaturated fats of any nut.
They are also high in Omega 7 which makes them a good ingredient for skincare and cosmetics.
By the way, the John Macadam, after whom they were named, was not the John Loudon McAdam who invented the tarmacadam surfacing material for roadmaking, but another Scot who emigrated to Australia and became lecturer in chemistry and natural science at Scotch College in Melbourne. He also officiated as a referee in one of the first recorded games of Australian Rules Football.
So is that where tarmac came from Bob? A member asked the other day about the origin of tarmac. As the troops unloaded on the tarmac. It would have been cool if M had covered that at the same time. But that could be another video.
Nuts!
Crackers!
I ate crackers in bed now I feel crumby all over
That’s worse than sleeping on a bed of nails, isn’t it?

marina why cant i order your caledndar all i get is
* Please note: Your shopping cart contains one or more items that are currently not in stock.
You may receive your order in multiple shipments.
This is really making me
yeh … i’m looking at that .. and prolly too late for a signed copy ..
i suppose what the message means is if it’s not in stock it wont be shipping right away and you’ll have to wait…. i dont think it’s stopping you from ordering.
This is the correct answer
You haven’t been paying attention in class.
The calendar doesn’t ship until Dec 5 when it come out.
These are pre-orders, which means they are not yet in stock, which means go put in your order so it can ship when it does come out.
Read Marina’s comments
James use a credit card to make your order instead of waiting on paypal.
still cant get first
finally! .. at the end with the calender .. a glimpse of the real marina!
Yea, I call it Marina unplugged.
yeh … i like the video Marina .. very sexy, informative, etc.
but that’s what she presents to us. So it’s not really essentially her. I’m most fascinated by the person who created all this and keeps it going. She’s the one who occasionally visits these pages and she’s the one i saw signing that calender!
i think she’s spiffing! she’s my hero!
the final missing piece of the puzzle is in place.
Marina is a real person .. not purely an imaginary bit of … erm .. not purely an imaginary sexpot.
wot a relief!
I have felt she is a real person when I was picked for TA. We exchange emails once or twice a week regarding the website. Its seems to be strictly business related conversation. At least I know she still breathing.
It would be fantastic to watch the behind the scenes how this one women wonder pulled this whole HFW thing off. Funny though you would think the TA would see much of this but I only see what happens in front of the screen.
She is very completive to the mega funded shows out there. Yea I was able to download the video and watch the last part where she signed the calendars. That really give them all a extra personal touch. I predict that someday she have a part in a movie or have her own show.
personally, i think M’s future is as a hub for creative people. The M she presents in the videos is the end product of her abilities. So, ending up as merely somehting walking and talking at the behest of someone else’s direction would be a big downgrade.
for instance … the HotForWords thing could be an entire school .. HotFor .. well .. whatever and whoever M spots as having potential. Sort of franchising in the way that .. whatsisname .. erm … Richard Branson started out selling mail order music albums as Virgin Records.. became successful and franchised the name “Virgin” .. and now has Virgin Airlines, Virgin Rail, etc etc … (no idea how franchising works, i must admit .. but i think Branson could be a model for Marina) …
Branson is to the Virgin franchise …
as
Marina is to the HotFor… franchise.
.. maybe .. lol .. just random thinking
As I have stated before, I don’t think she is a one-man-band. For example, the Website design was developed by others and there is probably a Webmaster to handle the bugs and occasional technical problems. All this technical stuff is not impossible to master, but it takes time and above all, intense interest in the subject. Marina doesn’t strike me as the techy type; it’s not so much a matter of intelligence as it is of avocation. Do you picture her finishing up all her work for the day and then spending her free time studying style sheets? As a business woman, I’m sure she recognizes that above all, everything must work and work well. That means she uses professionals to handle the nitty gritty details rather than “going to school” herself for several days to find the answer to some vexing Website problem.
That’s my story and I’m stickin’ to it.
CampKohler, The design is a plug in for Wordpress blogging software. You plug it in and it formats the style sheet pages for you. Very common thing to use with WP blogs. She does get some help form plug in developers to fix minor issues with their products. But I can say from what I have found out is “Yes! She is practicably a one man band!”
She loves to learn new things. She is the webmaster, Photoshop expert, Final Cut Pro expert, etc. She is even a gamer. Yea you could say she is a techy geek. 
The question is not weather she is smart enough to do all this, the question is where does she find the time? Many times she has out smarted even me. I have an unofficial tested IQ of about 136 points. (one needs at least 132 points to join MENSA group) I think Marina could score the same or a bit higher than me. 
I would bet on the latter. Now with that said, she doesn’t act geeky. She is a bit of a free spirit. The kind of woman you would see free flowing and in sync with nature. The total opposite of a typical geek you might expect. Marina is such a gifted woman. She has paid her dues and worked very hard to get to where she is now. I think she can be a source of inspiration to all of us. 
Take what you have a make the best of it. The true key of it all is get off out lazy bums and just get it done. 
I have to back Captain Jack up on his synopsis of Marina and her talents. From the emails we receive from her she is quite the technical person. Yes she does have the Word Press people to fix bugs and the server owners to fix the servers, but Marina has other attributes that would amaze you. She has a lot of computer knowledge and what works best for her and her company. Most of the software programs take a lot of know how or knowledge to use. She once told me in an email that she learned it all in a year or so. Look at her first videos where she used just the laptop camera now she has grown to making nice studio type videos.
hehe… HotForFranchising
I’d like the HotForHistory franchise, please!
at the interview, M will ask:
“and how, Mr Dez, do you plan to make History Hot?
Outline a typical HotForHistory for me.
Leave nothing to the imagination. … You can use the chair against the wall and imagine you’re on a video.
… proceed”
Remember what the etymology lesson M gave us on the origin of the word “Hot”. Marina picked a very interesting set of words that have a dual meaning.
I’ve never noticed before the use of “HotFor….”.
But since Marinas YouTube success those words have been used quite a bit for various titles.
“Today’s HotForHistory topic… Whiskey… some historians relate that this Celtic ambrosia was invented by the Scots and used to prevent the Irish from taking over the world… HotForHistory decided to investigate…” {cue music and twirling pics of single malt 20 year old scotch}
{After a trip to the UK and Ireland, visiting a dozen distilleries, sampling a wide variety of local libations, and tweaking the bums of a wide variety of local barmaids… Dez sits blissfully in a sturdy chair in a pub somewhere in England… smashed}
“Anuther mishtery sholved by yer trusty HotFor Mari- (hic) HotForMar-(hic) Hotfer(hic)… damn that gal looksh good (hic)… HotferHishtry… Bottomshup ye sober bashtards…”
{looks mournfully into empty pint and empty shot glass}
“Kate, me lass, another round fer me and me mates…”
{from a distance off camera} “That’s the Vicar, you wanker…”
“My apologies… Vicky, another round, pleash (hic)”
Oh yea she would be the director of the whole operation. Her flavor of how her videos are presented is part of what is making her great. I don’t think she will do any thing not related to words. I know she loves what she is presently doing and I for see that is sticking to etymology. Where she takes that is up to her. I think she is doing well right now.

I had to pee.
The igotstope is a beneficial medical procedure often performed, but rarely reimbursed for by HMOs.
Love your lessons. I have been send links to your site and youtube vids to friends.
Here is my word request. Chili (peppers and the dish). I find it interesting that chilies are hot while the other word chilly means cool or cold. Also ironically we tend to eat more chili in the fall and winter when the weather turns chilly.
Thanks for such a great site.
Chili today, hot tomale.
Wow I had forgotten the old joke about the Mexican weather forcast. Which reminded me of the Bibical winter weather forcast: Many will be cold, but few will be frozen.
Gorby doesn’t like to be pinned down, eh?
Marina,
I see even Gorby took pity on your sun burn and tried to make you feel better.
Lick Lick, Kiss Kiss. It’s better.
Hey wetsuit I see your having to do extra duty. Wife on
Vacation.
