For some reason, I can’t post on the raccoon board. I wanted to put in a “no” vote on raccoons. They aren’t cute. They are nasty!
Marina – you, however, are getting cuter by the day. Can I ask you something? Your skin looks exceedingly smooth and soft in this video and the other recent ones. Have you started doing or using something different? You always look fantastic, but lately there seems to be more of a glow about you.
Just to put my two cents in on the conversation waaaaaay down there about celebrating Christmas. I am Christian, and I do celebrate Christmas. I definately believe that public forums are very appropriate places for these celebrations. I enjoy participating in others’ joy as they celebrate their holidays, and I want to share this very special season with everybody.
I choose to not celebrate in some events, because I do not feel they are appropriate for me, but I defend others rights to publicly display their faith. I do enjoy celebrating Jesus’ birth, but I am not going to use this as a weapon to cause pain to anyone.
I am going to wish all of you “Merry Christmas,” and celebrate the birth of my Savior and my friend. If you are celebrating something else, let me know, and I will wish you a happy one of those, too.
Merry Christmas, everyone.
HOMEWORK: Resume the resum`e
I don’t even know how to make a resume, I am more of a job application person. I’ve done newspaper delivery, fast food cashier, been in the army as a lousy mechanic that has been transfered to a warehouse/storage job, got fired from a hotel front desk, quit a janitorial job, did a number of odd jobs, quit a pizza job, did a few gutter installations, and now unemployed.
I’m not really use to being around people. I try to think independantly and do things my own way.
Marina,
Amazon just sent me an e-mail that the item I ordered for you has been shipped out this morning. Will you know who sent what or will it be a guessing game.
Anyway I hope you like it (silly statement it was on your wish list )
I hope Gorby is doing better. Give him a hug for me.
Your dear student

I have been reading the classic Russian novel War and Peace. Where does the word novel come from when refering to a book? Is there a connection to novel when it means new?
Pregant is a little known, little used word used to describe a male of a species who is experiencing the unpleasant symptoms of the female carrying live offspring. Pre is from the latin meaning before. Gant is an abbreviated form of “gantlet” (sometimes spelled “gauntlet”), from the Swedish “gata” — troubles, and “lopp”, run or to run through troubles. Thus “running the gantlet” which has a secondary meaning of a “series of troubles.” Thus, pre-gant is “before” the “series of troubles,” i.e., labor pains, or before the end of the term of the gestation, and that is the same as the period in which some of those unpleasant feelings like morning sickness occurs.
Dude Cufan71, I totally made that up to cover my shame at having misspelled pregnant. Though there is a syndrome named after some french guy which men sometimes get when their wives are going through pregnancy burdens. Louie
I have had many pets of many types my whole life with all sorts of ailments.Nothing…I mean NOTHING,but a quality vet,proper physical and blood work will give you an answer.
It comes from a Latin phrase meaning “other mother” or “nourishing mother” in that the University you attended and graduated from was, in a sense, a sort of mother in raising you and helping you grow intellectually.
My resume is quite extensive actually, so I don’t put everything in it.
Of course my degree is in there, my work in the technical side of the semi-conductor industry, as well as my military background flying helicopters in Desert Storm.
What I leave out is that I’ve also been a prison guard, a car salesman, a truck driver, and for a week during high school I was also a telemarketer,
This is weird Che. I have two computers running side by side. One is showing your gravatar as the turkey and the other as the sundial thingy. I refreshed two times and it still comes up that way.

Well at least YouTube listened a little bit to the complaints of it’s users. It now has the search feature where it will only come up when your mouse passes over it.
Hello,
would you teach use about the word “excited dilirum” and how this is contected to TASER use? There is alot of media coverage about these words I don’t think people know about them.
Hey Leonard I would say it probably is. I just replaced two of my mouses or mice because of erratic behavior. I got the wireless optical ones with the roll button from Logitec this time, the roll button comes in handy for scrolling. There is no cord and no ball on the bottom to clean the little rollers inside the mouse. I paid about $30 each for the Logitec but you can get a microsoft wireless optical for a lot less. Hope this helps you.
I third that request. It looks like a word that would be easy to mispronounce… like linger-ree or something.
I sometimes enjoy the Playboy Lingerie Special Editions.
Word Conundrum Request Pretty is a nice word
Example: Marina is very pretty! Good is a nice word
Example: That was a very good lesson Marina!
Now put those two words together not so nice
Example: That food was pretty good.
Why is this so
(By the way I’m not requesting Conundrum, been done!)
For Bob and anyone wanting to know about YT changes.
The short answer is: Without a decent set of documentation and facts, I have no idea what YT is up to. I’ll take a stab at some cursory info, and I’m sure Marina will get more details as time goes along.
The current issue is:
“Most Viewed” video versus “Most Popular” video.
I think the Most Popular category is (relatively) new? I tried to look at Wayback Machine to see what it was in the recent past, but they are choking on something.
In the past, when you visited YT and clicked the Video tab, you saw the 1st page of the top 100 “Most Viewed” videos; the defaulted category. Now, the defaulted category is the top 100 “Most Popular” videos.
What does “Most Viewed” mean?
On the surface, you would think that most viewed also means most popular and the one with the most numbers wins, right? I guess it used to be that way, but now the bean counters are getting into the act and mucking up the simple and making it complex.
Marina did a fantastic and outstanding job at explaining the meaning of Most Viewed here. Essentially, “Most Viewed Honors”, is not the same as Views. The Most Viewed Honors do not include views from outside the YT domain.
Now, enter the “Most Popular” category which is now the defaulted category. You would think most viewed means most popular. Apparently, YT is adding more algorithmic stuff to the most viewed numbers and tweaking them and calling it Most Popular. In other words, its video views with some kind of offsetting bias.
The elements that go into the tweaking of the views (most views) is some kind of time element, relative comparison to other videos in each category, and other factors that are not documented by YT. The information currently available is sketchy at best by searching keywords; “insight” and “popular”.
Here is an example:
Let’s say video A has 50,000 views, but is two years old and gets 10 hits a day. Video B has 300 views, but is only 2 days old and gets 30 hits a day. Video B is the most popular video.
Marina and others fear that this will be the death of the YT partners. She didn’t specify, but here is my guess.
Since most visitors will look at the top 100 pages, they are less inclined to look at the other top 100 honors such as Most Viewed. One has to now click on that category, which most people won’t do.
Since the Most Popular videos are now the default page for visitors to see, it skews those videos into favor, besides having their Honors position already being biased.
The video above is at position #31 on the Most Viewed pages (page #2)
Go to the Most Popular pages, and Marina’s video is not there.
Plus, YT had removed the Partner’s red flag, and then the little icon for some time now. So, there is no telling which video is a YT partner. So, Marina’s fears may be correct and I’m sure all of the YT Partners will rebel against this YT change.
i don’t see what so hard to understand about most viewed and most popular. They are two entirely different things. Just because you view a video doesn’t make that video popular perhaps the message conveyed caused it not to be rated popular although it seen much more than another video that had a message conveyed that was more acceptable and thus more popular
stokesjrj1, but how do you determine what is popular? My videos are some of the most viewed on YouTube, they get the highest ratings (4 1/2 to 5 stars) yet they are not deemed popular.. so some other metric is involved and I need to figure out what it is. It might just be a technical glitch as channel was removed from the most viewed lists yesterday by mistake.
Marina, Since Google acquired You Tube I can only think that they are making changes to how You Tube operates to reflect values Google users deem important as too what You Tube users deem important.
Stoeksjr, I know how Google ranks websites.. it’s based on how many websites link to a site and how important the websites that link to that site are.. in other words, making 1000 websites and having them link to you does not work as those sites are not deemed important to count.
YouTube has something called View Count, Ratings and # of comments to be able to judge how popular a video is. Since I score well in all those categories, then there is something else going on that I need to be made aware of. I am one of their most successful partners.. and I am the definition of a success story on YouTube.. so this needs to be solved. They can’t just have an arbitrary person sitting there going.. “I like this” “I don’t like this”…
The number of comments should have nothing to do with popularity or any other youtube stat.Do you actually read those,90% of the comments have nothing to do with the video,they are nothing to be proud of.Geez,watch a funny cat vid sometime,the comments start out as “aww cute kitty” to “I kill and torture cats” to “Hitler was great”,WTF.So if 100 people comment on your vid. (on youtube) and 50 want to see you naked and 40 want to have sex what does that leave.To be used as a true judgement of someones popularity wouldn’t the negative and hurtful comments have to be eliminated?It used to be those sort of remarks got you a reputation not popular.I for one enjoy your vids and have actually learned much from you.BTW,Hitler was an anti-semitic “douche bag”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not to mention 20 people can leave 100 comments,does that count as 100 or 20.Maybe they should use feedback,sort of like ebay where positives and negative are added together ie;3 positives and 1 negative will give you a score of 75% positive.My feedback score on ebay is 154 positive,zero negative = 100% positive.There are flaws but it atleast gives you an idea of a persons overall performance.I would be willing to bet most vid. posters on youtube would not want any comments at all at that point.
Thanks pedantickarl, if anyone could figure out the “secret algorithm” that YouTube is using to determine which videos appear on the “Most Popular” pages.. that would be great, because even though my videos are the most viewed on YouTube, my videos do not appear on those pages.
It could be a combination of views, comments, date uploaded, etc… but I cannot figure it out for the life of me.
All this “change” sounds political. Is it possible that somebody is getting greased to make changes similar to the “fairness” doctrine? Hor For Words must investigate…

Word Request: In the army, a one star flag officer is a brigadier general. Yet in the navy, a one star flag officer is a commodore, not an admiral. Where did the title commodore come from, and why is it applied to one star naval flag officers?
Che, you’re getting the idea …
A Torreador is in charge of the bulls.
A Matador is in charge of the mats.
A Thermidor is a lobster in charge of the temperature of the aquarium.
What is even more confusing for the army is the a Lieutenant General (3 star) is higher ranking than a Major General (2 star), when a Major is higher ranking than a Lieutenant.
1) A puzzle: In Greek mythology, who where the son and father duo to escaped from prison by fastening together wings made from feathers and candle wax? Can you think of the primary moral of the story?
2) A word: “LOP.” I assume it has something to do with guillotining during the French Revolution, but I cannot find anything about it’s origin. I believe it may be a possible bastardization of some part of the beheading apparatus–poorly translated from French to English. Can you help me solve this mystery?
I don’t know if I’d say the moral was “Listen to your elders,” seeing as how children and their parents were so often trying to kill each other in Greek mythology. I’d say the moral is more along the lines of “Don’t try to accomplish ridiculously difficult tasks that you know are beyond your abilities.” Either that, or, “If your father works for a crazed king building things like vast labyrinths, leave home early.”

PS I love your smile and can’t wait until I can wake up and look at Your Calendar everyday. I have a feeling I’ll be so distracted that I’ll know less of what day it is then now not having a calendar.
Hi Marina,
Here is some food for thought:
Why are they called apartments, when they’re all stuck together?
Why do scientists call it research when looking for something new?
How come price and worth mean the same thing, but priceless and worthless are opposites.
Why is it that when you transport something by car, it’s called a shipment but when you transport something by ship, it’s called cargo?

I am looking for a movie. It’s kinda old, maybe late nineties or early 2000’s but it is kinda about an alien girl that comes to earth and stays with this family. In one scene, she mixes ALL the food into a blender (they were getting ready for some party) and she says something like ‘it all goes in the same place anyway’. ANYWAY!! I NEED UR HELP!! ANYBODY!!! THAAAAAANKS.
Homework: I have recently had a lot of crap shoved down my throat by my superiors, who have obviously been educated far above and beyond their intelligence, so therefore am glad to EXCLUDE from my resume their … uh … “improvements to the work environment”.

I know what you mean, my resumé
(dossier) runs on for 12 pages!
Short form: 3 pages
and summary form, just one.
Some people want all the details,
others want just dates, names, refs.
I now only put down relevant information on the resume with no dates. Who cares if you worked at wal-mart if your applying for an airline pilots job? All a resume is a ‘Brag Sheet’. You can put anything on it you want. It’s a brochure of your skills and experiences to sell to a prospective employer.

I have a question for anyone who has already ordered the calendar. How long did it take for it to be delivered to you after you ordered it? I’m at college right now, but I leave for an extended break in a couple weeks, so I need to know if when I order it I should have it shipped to my college or hometown address. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Hey thats the exact same webcam I wanted to buy. I haven’t tried it yet. Specs look good. My friend has an older model of that camera and it had a good picture. The only way to top that is to use a camcorder. Looking at the demo I think it would out preform my camcorder. The only think webcams lack is a zoom. So if you don’t need anything like that then yea I would get it. It’s a good choice.

I don’t think it’s wrong at all. This woman has the power to crush cans with her boobs, she’s willing to do a demonstration, and I think it is quite a remarkable feat indeed (although of course a little coarse at first).
It is kind of interesting actually. I didn’t know that some women could crush cans with their boobs. Come to think of it, I’ll go to sleep a little more educated and knowledgeable tonight, thanks to the internet. I’m just curious about the maths behind this prowess. How heavy can be these breasts? 20 lbs each? Perhaps more?
I think her name is Busty Heart or something. I would sure like to see her in a nude magazine.
But this video also reminds me of the time I had my face between a porn star’s boobs with silicone implants almost as big. And the physicality of it was NOT pleasant. It was like having 2 dodgeballs pressed up against my tempos, and it left almost no breathing room that I nearly passed out. I was getting smothered while she was on staged, that I wanted it to be over with. Those 5 seconds felt more like 10!
Homework:
My own Hotforwords resume:
I spent several years volunteering with the Alliance for the Welsh Nation, which helped establish the Welsh Assembly in 1999 and contributed to the movement to re-establish the Welsh language, after its long persecution by the English. One could say I was “poeth dros geiriau” / “hot for words” long before Marina established her website and YouTube channel!
This isn’t the first time I have asked for this word. And I know the season has passed, but I want to know the origin of the word “Medium” in reference to those who claim to speak to or with the dead. Please? I love your lessons!
Dear Teach – So glad to hear Gorby is home. Surely your vet made mention that he would probably display lack of appetite. If you even suspect that he is eating too little over some period of time, then get on the phone and pester the vet until he…crap, I’m having trouble wording this succintly. Now more than ever he needs food and hydration, so just don’t let the vet put him on the back-burner, so to speak. Time is critical here. I hope I’m making a mountain out of a molehill, but I had a terrible experience with one of my dogs in a similar situation once. Always.
Well well, Mr O’Reilly attacked the governor of my home state about freedom of religion in the capital building. I can’t stand our governor but I think she is doing the right thing, well sort of. I think any religious material need to be removed from the capital. I have friends that have different religious beliefs that are in conflict with the dominating religion (Christians) in the US. Muslims, Buddhists, Atheists, Catholics, Protestants. If I where to place Muslim decorations I would be hauled off. We should accommodate all religions equally or not at all. Anything else is discrimination. Im not talking about hate organizations like the KKK. Its all about respect for what other people beliefs and we should not take steps to not to offend those beliefs. And the argument about what we have been doing for years so it must be right, does not apply to the future. I know Bill was just doing his job for ratings. Good thing I wasn’t there or I would have had him eating his words. ehhehehe. All this brings up a word Christmas. Did he look up which religions do not recognize Christmas? Has he even looked up the origin of Christmas?
Well I have to put some more decorations on my ‘Holiday Tree’ . I miss calling it a Christmas Tree.
Well for me its not ok. Many retail companies will write you up for saying Merry Christmas to a customer with a potential of loosing ones job. I was written up once when I said Merry Christmas to a customer who then complained to management. I remember that day well.
Also I respect my friends beliefs differ from mine. So over the years I have been learning new words to use. Im just trying to unlearn what my grade schools teacher taught me for so many years now that I have discovered they were incorrect. But im still not going to bend on not calling Pluto a planet.
Looks like Ken Schram of Komo TV news is getting on the subject. Here’s a quote.
The “atheists among Christmas” issue has been elevated to new levels by the bombastic Bill O’Reilly, who has mustered his conservative minions into action by urging them to rise up and smite Governor Chris Gregoire with phone calls.
Now Fox TV faithful have been dialing at the rate of about 200 calls an hour. Our government had to hire ($$) a calling service to handle the calls. My question is should I send the bill to Bill O’Reilly?
There was a new law that came out that would require every boater to collect all water that landed on our boats and properly dispose of that water. This include rain water. Well this law was mostly for commercial ships from other countries but they failed to exclude the small boaters. Now that law has been repaired.
Just recently they have discovered that when they tightly regulated the boaters that the pollution increased. Later they found out it was the people in the cities that are the ones polluting and now are taking steps to fix this problem. Most of the pollution is from storm water run off. In other words when people put weed killers on their lawns or let bad stuff go into the storm drains this pollutes the sound. So the people who where complaining the most were the ones polluting the most.
I agree with you, Captain Jack; public areas aren’t the place for religious displays. But despite whatever skills in rhetoric you may have–and I’m sure they’re quite good–I don’t think they’d be of much help on the Factor, much less successful in making him eat his own words. O’Reilly exists in his own little world that is based on delusions so profound I can’t even begin to fathom them. I’m really glad Marina’s getting the publicity, but I sympathize with her for having to spend time around him.
Rhetoric? Wow, I had to look up that word to make sure I had the definition correct in my mind. Im not sure if I deserve rhetoric to be associated with I. There are much greater rhetoric people here that that deserve that title. O’Reilly’s delusions are of lack of knowledge of facts. Your right I could not make him eat his words in the quick 8 minute interviews. Off camera and with 30 to 40 minute, yea, I think I can make him eat some of his words. If that failed then I could bake his favorite cake with some of his words on it, then I bet he would eat a slice or two.
Yea I like that she is able to get on the show. I hope everyone writes to Bill and thanking him for having M on the show. I think having M on the show is a great addition. This isn’t the only show you will see M on.
Bill O’Rielly’s point was that the menorah and the nativity scene are symbols. The poster that was displayed by the atheist group is an actual statement “attacking” (his word not mine) organized religion. Also, in his commentary, he does mention that it is a state and federally recognized holiday (Christmas that is). /shrug Personally, I think the atheist poster is just a group of people trying to say “Hey, look at me!”
I don’t think the poster (now has been redesigned in brass) is not a look at me, but statement of what they doesn’t believe in. Atheist have a problem with being bomb barded with religious symbols and wish to fight back with their own. I see this group or groups similar to them growing larger everyday. What Bill fails to understand is the facts that it’s against the law. Bill is asking Chris Gregoire to break a few laws. Posting the phone number was truly uncalled for.
fuck political correctness. I Call it what you want. you have a right to your traditions as much as they have to theirs. Seems like the only people seeking their ‘rights’ today are people who want to squash your own. I hope you sing some ‘christmas carols’ too whether you have the religiousness of it in you or not.
Your exactly correct. The Bill of Rights protects freedom of speech, freedom of religion, the right to keep and bear arms, the freedom of assembly, the freedom to petition, and freedom of the press. I see Ken Schram point that this defiance is just feeding and drawing more attention to the atheists. So in a way Bill O’Reilly is helping atheists getting national attention. Maybe Bill is an atheist.
I am an agnostic… atheism and agnosticism are not religions by the way lol. I would still call it christmas whenever. The UK is so stupid about this at the moment. In Oxford the council changed the name of the christmas lights to the “winter light festival ” to avoid offending Muslims. Funny how we don’t have a spring summer or autumn light festivals though isn’t it. What makes me laugh is that the muslims complained to the council, and said they were not at all offended by the word christmas.. Haha, Good Muslims. They piss me off sometimes but they stick up for england when it comes to political correctness. My town got a small column in the national press because this year the dip-shit mayors stand in banned the 400yr old tradition of firing muskets, because it scared young children and old people (there are a lot of old people where I live) Well how long do the kiddies cry for about 3 minutes? they are given a warning….. My heart bleeds, It’s not like there were not enough fireworks that they enjoyed a month before is it…. And old people still know what a musket is. We are given the impression they are curled up in a corner of a dark room rocking back and forth scared stiff. Its not like they are firing the musket in a nursing home. its in the middle of the square, and its not like they are firing in the middle of a meternity ward either.. It makes me so pissed off
In Michael Moore’s “Bowling for Columbine” documentary, there was a cartoon in it called “A Brief History of the United States of America” Really explains the paranoia in the US. This is spreading throughout the world. The big media companies and (soon to be) the former government are fueling this fear.
My question to anyone; Do you know what this kind of fear can lead to?
Update: The brass atheist sign has been stolen from the Washington State Capital. Sign has been found near a radio station with a large crease and a post-it note with some kind of name on it. Police are treating this as a criminal case.
I find it amazing how words on a sign can upset people in such away that would cause them to steal the rights of others. I think America has forgotten the words on the Bill of Rights.
Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly said, called the display “political correctness gone mad” and urged viewers to call Gov. Chris Gregoire’s office to complain. “She is a weak and confused leader who allows a fanatical group parody in Christmas displays. I mean how crazy is this?” he ranted. “Washington State is ground zero for every nutty secular cause on earth.”
Apparently to Bill, following the Washington State Law is a sign of weak and confused. I think it’s Bill should do some basic research on a story before he films the show. Then maybe he would get more credibility. Oh wait, I forgot he works for Fox News which has no credibility.
¡Muy bien dicho! Pas d’erreurs de français cette fois-ci Meine Dame. Nice blue dressed and white puppied lesson!
Any decent resume should hoard thundering seawinds, bold explorers and caravelles, savage lands, howling wolves, charging toros bravos, pirates, conquistadores, clansmen, vikings and aztecs, wheeliing hayabusas, flying eagles and buffalo stampedes, crazy horses, glaives, swords, axes, sabers, beautiful veiled belly dancers, cavalry charges, running appaloosas, knights and winged dragons, beer beer, lots of wine, blond walküres with horned helmets, deep forests and high mountains, a couple of princesses and a lot, yes, quite a lot of beautiful women. That, I think, would be some acceptable resume.
Let’s see; student intern with experience in credit fraud, support, disputes, correspondence and of course Volunteer Firefighter. Glad to see that Gorby is looking better Marina. We were all worried.
Marina, do a video on the word, “beautiful.” Many viewers have used this adjective to describe you.
Does it only describe your external characteristics, or is there an inner beauty that is revealed by the quality of your actions?
Is inner beauty in the way you treat your viewers? Or the way you treat your dog? Is it in the way you do interviews? Is beauty in the many types of food you enjoy?
I think you would know many, many things about beauty.
i have a great job for you dude. i’ve been in the army for almost 4 years and it is a great job. if you don’t have any family and have a lot of energy inside that you want to get out. and right now it would be the only thing i put on my resume. i just did odd jobs before that.
I would like to request you to research the origin but mainly the correct pronunciation of the word “Solder”. As in to fuse to metals together. Is it pronuced Sol-der or Sod-er without the L. Everywhere I look i find different answer, some clam it to be region specific, like in NA the l is dropped but in Europe/Aus it is said with the L.
Thanks in advance, Ellfopee
Hello! Newbie here I have a word, rather a two word phrase that a certain NHL hockey player (Shawn Avery) recently used that got him in a whole lot of trouble! The words are “Sloppy seconds”.
I’ll try to spare Marina having to explain this one.
“Sloppy seconds” is a sexual term. When one guy has sex with a woman, and then very shortly thereafter another guy has sex with that same woman, using the previous guy’s ejaculate as a natural lubricant, it’s referred to as “sloppy seconds.” I don’t know anything about an incident involving Shawn Avery using the phrase–I don’t follow sports–but the fact that it’s a sexual thing I’m guessing is what got him in trouble.
That was kewl Nathan19 to explain it that way. I know as well as you Marina wouldn’t do a video on something like that, so you killed two birds with one stone , so to speak. A true gent.
I saw something about this a while ago on a QI program on BBC, but I can’t remember which word they said it was.
Good word request, eish. I second it.
Marina could bring back the “Guess the word” game, give us some clues to help us work it out.
I’ve heard before that the word “set” has a large amount of varied meanings. When I read your question, I briefly looked it up in my dictionary, and it had a really long entry, but I didn’t really peruse it. You ought to check it out.
Homework: My resume is varied and long, so I’ll say “Jack-of-all-trades”. Right now I am a professional student (and a provert).
Word Request: History – an old professor of mine used to tell me that “history” was formed from two words… “Hi” (from “high”), meaning “tall” and “story”, meaning “tale”. So history is a tall tale. Does History have anything to do with telling stories? Or is it an account of events?
Marina, i sent a word request on youtube but then i saw that you want us to request them here..so the word is Pagan..as in referring to ancient religions and practices. where does that word come from?
You Tube is so screwed up working lately. They add and move things around so some things don’t work right. I would drop You Tube and just stay with Marina’s site, but I like to harass the utubers that are ugly to people. Don’t worry Marina I use another You tube account for that so they want follow me back here. Some of those asinine people deserve it.
Kinda reminds me of Wal-Mart! Just as soon as you learn where everything is they move stuff around Now where can I find the hunting guns? Oh yeah next to the kiddie toys
They do that so you have to go hunting around for your cornflakes, in the hope that you’ll notice something else tempting and be sucked into an impulse buy.
For the same reason they always put the high mark-up stuff at eye level.
To answer your yesterdays question. YT placed the search bar on the top of her video. They are doing it on many embedded videos. I’ve done some Google searching and many people are upset over it. On guy even put Screen shots of his page to show how ugly it looks. From my current research I see google ’s search algorithms are being implemented into YT more. I also notice there using a speech-to-text software in to pulling out words in the videos. It looks like Meta Data (descriptive text next to videos) isn’t going to be a factor anymore. This is part of Googles efforts to make it easier for you to find the video you want, regardless if the video producer post any meta data. This could be a good thing for I hate writing meta data.
There is no way Marina would ever drop YT. They are the most popular video site. Notice I didn’t say the best video site?
Capman911 et al.
Let’s start a “HFW brigade” division of Marina’s fan club and put thumbs down on all the YT “trash comments” on Marina’s videos. Six of us devoting a few minutes each time a new video comes out could effectively remove these from the default view (-5 or better). Who’s in?

For some reason, I can’t post on the raccoon board. I wanted to put in a “no” vote on raccoons. They aren’t cute. They are nasty!
Marina – you, however, are getting cuter by the day. Can I ask you something? Your skin looks exceedingly smooth and soft in this video and the other recent ones. Have you started doing or using something different? You always look fantastic, but lately there seems to be more of a glow about you.
Hi Prossie,

Not too much is up. Still addicted to Marina….
Yeah, me too … it’s a life sentence.
Am I Hired
Just to put my two cents in on the conversation waaaaaay down there about celebrating Christmas. I am Christian, and I do celebrate Christmas. I definately believe that public forums are very appropriate places for these celebrations. I enjoy participating in others’ joy as they celebrate their holidays, and I want to share this very special season with everybody.
I choose to not celebrate in some events, because I do not feel they are appropriate for me, but I defend others rights to publicly display their faith. I do enjoy celebrating Jesus’ birth, but I am not going to use this as a weapon to cause pain to anyone.
I am going to wish all of you “Merry Christmas,” and celebrate the birth of my Savior and my friend. If you are celebrating something else, let me know, and I will wish you a happy one of those, too.
Merry Christmas, everyone.

HOMEWORK: Resume the resum`e
I don’t even know how to make a resume, I am more of a job application person. I’ve done newspaper delivery, fast food cashier, been in the army as a lousy mechanic that has been transfered to a warehouse/storage job, got fired from a hotel front desk, quit a janitorial job, did a number of odd jobs, quit a pizza job, did a few gutter installations, and now unemployed.
I’m not really use to being around people. I try to think independantly and do things my own way.

I have been reading the classic Russian novel War and Peace. Where does the word novel come from when refering to a book? Is there a connection to novel when it means new?
Gorby Advice: Marina, I have a Maltese too. It could be his teeth. Everytime my doggy doesn’t want to eat, he has a bad tooth.
Either that or Gorby’s pregant.
Pregant is a little known, little used word used to describe a male of a species who is experiencing the unpleasant symptoms of the female carrying live offspring. Pre is from the latin meaning before. Gant is an abbreviated form of “gantlet” (sometimes spelled “gauntlet”), from the Swedish “gata” — troubles, and “lopp”, run or to run through troubles. Thus “running the gantlet” which has a secondary meaning of a “series of troubles.” Thus, pre-gant is “before” the “series of troubles,” i.e., labor pains, or before the end of the term of the gestation, and that is the same as the period in which some of those unpleasant feelings like morning sickness occurs.
Hey Cufan71 you should put a Santa Hat on that Rein Deere you have as a Gravatar. I don’t think John would care.
Dude Cufan71, I totally made that up to cover my shame at having misspelled pregnant. Though there is a syndrome named after some french guy which men sometimes get when their wives are going through pregnancy burdens. Louie
I have had many pets of many types my whole life with all sorts of ailments.Nothing…I mean NOTHING,but a quality vet,proper physical and blood work will give you an answer.
Marina your 27th on the most viewed list.
Wondering where the word Alma Mater came from. If University of Phoenix is my Alma Mater.
It comes from a Latin phrase meaning “other mother” or “nourishing mother” in that the University you attended and graduated from was, in a sense, a sort of mother in raising you and helping you grow intellectually.
My resume is quite extensive actually, so I don’t put everything in it.
Of course my degree is in there, my work in the technical side of the semi-conductor industry, as well as my military background flying helicopters in Desert Storm.
What I leave out is that I’ve also been a prison guard, a car salesman, a truck driver, and for a week during high school I was also a telemarketer,

Can’t wait till it gets here. 
Cap…if the r side of my mouse is not working(like copy and paste): is it shot?
Hey Leonard I would say it probably is. I just replaced two of my mouses or mice because of erratic behavior. I got the wireless optical ones with the roll button from Logitec this time, the roll button comes in handy for scrolling. There is no cord and no ball on the bottom to clean the little rollers inside the mouse. I paid about $30 each for the Logitec but you can get a microsoft wireless optical for a lot less. Hope this helps you.
Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, I got the same email! …These last two days waiting by the mailbox are going to be the longest ever!
I know what you mean Mike, I can’t wait.

Word Conundrum Request
Pretty is a nice word
Example: Marina is very pretty!
Good is a nice word
Example: That was a very good lesson Marina!
Now put those two words together not so nice
Example: That food was pretty good.
Why is this so
(By the way I’m not requesting Conundrum, been done!)
By the way using the word very makes the words pretty & good sound even better!
For Bob and anyone wanting to know about YT changes.
The short answer is: Without a decent set of documentation and facts, I have no idea what YT is up to. I’ll take a stab at some cursory info, and I’m sure Marina will get more details as time goes along.
The current issue is:
“Most Viewed” video versus “Most Popular” video.
I think the Most Popular category is (relatively) new? I tried to look at Wayback Machine to see what it was in the recent past, but they are choking on something.
In the past, when you visited YT and clicked the Video tab, you saw the 1st page of the top 100 “Most Viewed” videos; the defaulted category. Now, the defaulted category is the top 100 “Most Popular” videos.
What does “Most Viewed” mean?
On the surface, you would think that most viewed also means most popular and the one with the most numbers wins, right? I guess it used to be that way, but now the bean counters are getting into the act and mucking up the simple and making it complex.
Marina did a fantastic and outstanding job at explaining the meaning of Most Viewed here. Essentially, “Most Viewed Honors”, is not the same as Views. The Most Viewed Honors do not include views from outside the YT domain.
Now, enter the “Most Popular” category which is now the defaulted category. You would think most viewed means most popular. Apparently, YT is adding more algorithmic stuff to the most viewed numbers and tweaking them and calling it Most Popular. In other words, its video views with some kind of offsetting bias.
The elements that go into the tweaking of the views (most views) is some kind of time element, relative comparison to other videos in each category, and other factors that are not documented by YT. The information currently available is sketchy at best by searching keywords; “insight” and “popular”.
Here is an example:
Let’s say video A has 50,000 views, but is two years old and gets 10 hits a day. Video B has 300 views, but is only 2 days old and gets 30 hits a day. Video B is the most popular video.
Marina and others fear that this will be the death of the YT partners. She didn’t specify, but here is my guess.
Since most visitors will look at the top 100 pages, they are less inclined to look at the other top 100 honors such as Most Viewed. One has to now click on that category, which most people won’t do.
Since the Most Popular videos are now the default page for visitors to see, it skews those videos into favor, besides having their Honors position already being biased.
The video above is at position #31 on the Most Viewed pages (page #2)
Go to the Most Popular pages, and Marina’s video is not there.
Plus, YT had removed the Partner’s red flag, and then the little icon for some time now. So, there is no telling which video is a YT partner. So, Marina’s fears may be correct and I’m sure all of the YT Partners will rebel against this YT change.
i don’t see what so hard to understand about most viewed and most popular. They are two entirely different things. Just because you view a video doesn’t make that video popular perhaps the message conveyed caused it not to be rated popular although it seen much more than another video that had a message conveyed that was more acceptable and thus more popular
stokesjrj1, but how do you determine what is popular? My videos are some of the most viewed on YouTube, they get the highest ratings (4 1/2 to 5 stars) yet they are not deemed popular.. so some other metric is involved and I need to figure out what it is. It might just be a technical glitch as channel was removed from the most viewed lists yesterday by mistake.
Marina, Since Google acquired You Tube I can only think that they are making changes to how You Tube operates to reflect values Google users deem important as too what You Tube users deem important.
Sometimes the appearance of trying to hard can be a reason for a downgrading in popularity.
Stoeksjr, I know how Google ranks websites.. it’s based on how many websites link to a site and how important the websites that link to that site are.. in other words, making 1000 websites and having them link to you does not work as those sites are not deemed important to count.
YouTube has something called View Count, Ratings and # of comments to be able to judge how popular a video is. Since I score well in all those categories, then there is something else going on that I need to be made aware of. I am one of their most successful partners.. and I am the definition of a success story on YouTube.. so this needs to be solved. They can’t just have an arbitrary person sitting there going.. “I like this” “I don’t like this”…
Your being privatized.
The number of comments should have nothing to do with popularity or any other youtube stat.Do you actually read those,90% of the comments have nothing to do with the video,they are nothing to be proud of.Geez,watch a funny cat vid sometime,the comments start out as “aww cute kitty” to “I kill and torture cats” to “Hitler was great”,WTF.So if 100 people comment on your vid. (on youtube) and 50 want to see you naked and 40 want to have sex what does that leave.To be used as a true judgement of someones popularity wouldn’t the negative and hurtful comments have to be eliminated?It used to be those sort of remarks got you a reputation not popular.I for one enjoy your vids and have actually learned much from you.BTW,Hitler was an anti-semitic “douche bag”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just my two cents.
Not to mention 20 people can leave 100 comments,does that count as 100 or 20.Maybe they should use feedback,sort of like ebay where positives and negative are added together ie;3 positives and 1 negative will give you a score of 75% positive.My feedback score on ebay is 154 positive,zero negative = 100% positive.There are flaws but it atleast gives you an idea of a persons overall performance.I would be willing to bet most vid. posters on youtube would not want any comments at all at that point.
Two more cents
I am for the rebellion, damned the torpedoes full speed ahead.
Thanks pedantickarl, if anyone could figure out the “secret algorithm” that YouTube is using to determine which videos appear on the “Most Popular” pages.. that would be great, because even though my videos are the most viewed on YouTube, my videos do not appear on those pages.
It could be a combination of views, comments, date uploaded, etc… but I cannot figure it out for the life of me.
Just a joke Marina, but did you turn someone down for a date at the You Tube party and now they are getting even.
I know. Its all messed up. Don’t worry about being popular! lol
Hows gorby?
If this is not just a glitch, then ask yourself who is benefiting from this formula. My benefiting I mean who is to gain financially.
see my above comments
Marina, your being a You Tube partner can they not exsplain this too you?
Che Volay said
“then ask yourself who is benefiting from this formula. My benefiting I mean who is to gain financially.”
Here Marina Che Volay says its his doing,
In the words of Colin Powell, I will surround it and kill it and bring it to you, laid open like a freshly fileted trout.

Did you see that quiggles, we both posted at the exact same time regarding getting our calendars.
It must be kismet or at least good karma. I also posted a “first” comment yesterday at exactly the same time as pagedoll (9:06 am PST). Maybe these are signs that I am becoming a HFW regular!
Yeahhh, guess what? Marina is in the mail. {wishful thinking}
Errrr. I mean the HFW Calendar is in the mail, well, FedEx specifically. OK, tracking it now… left Illinois, should be here any minute now. {wishful thinking again}
I’m puzzled by the fuss over Most Popular v. Most Viewed.
Do you know exactly what has changed?
Most viewed is still there and Résumé is at 31.
Yes, Bob, I am familiar with what is going on a YT. Give me a few minutes to get my thoughts and links together and I’ll post up above.

2) A word: “LOP.” I assume it has something to do with guillotining during the French Revolution, but I cannot find anything about it’s origin. I believe it may be a possible bastardization of some part of the beheading apparatus–poorly translated from French to English. Can you help me solve this mystery?

Moral: Listen to your elders…
LOL!
I don’t know if I’d say the moral was “Listen to your elders,” seeing as how children and their parents were so often trying to kill each other in Greek mythology. I’d say the moral is more along the lines of “Don’t try to accomplish ridiculously difficult tasks that you know are beyond your abilities.” Either that, or, “If your father works for a crazed king building things like vast labyrinths, leave home early.”

Hi Marina,
Here is some food for thought:
Why are they called apartments, when they’re all stuck together?
Why do scientists call it research when looking for something new?
How come price and worth mean the same thing, but priceless and worthless are opposites.
Why is it that when you transport something by car, it’s called a shipment but when you transport something by ship, it’s called cargo?

I have a question for anyone who has already ordered the calendar. How long did it take for it to be delivered to you after you ordered it? I’m at college right now, but I leave for an extended break in a couple weeks, so I need to know if when I order it I should have it shipped to my college or hometown address. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
They ship on the 5th.
Not recieved mine yet, hoping for an autographed copy in the post soon;-)
YOU MUST FIND THIS WORD
“FIRST LADY”
where it comes from?
The Garden of Eden?!
That’s funny.
And you look absolutely INCREDIBLE in that teal and in blue. Yum-my!
Like you, Dear Teach, I was a teacher. (Wrong; there’s no one like Marina!) Musician, auto mechanic, salesman.

Hi Marina,
Where do I send my “Resume”?
I would be a great asset to your website.

Been working on the gizmo. There has been a change to the blue prints. I don’t think it will effect the performance a whole lot.
Jack how about look at this camera and see if you think it would be a good camera for a computer. See if I could make a decent video with it.? Thanks

Hey thats the exact same webcam I wanted to buy. I haven’t tried it yet. Specs look good. My friend has an older model of that camera and it had a good picture. The only way to top that is to use a camcorder. Looking at the demo I think it would out preform my camcorder. The only think webcams lack is a zoom. So if you don’t need anything like that then yea I would get it. It’s a good choice.
Thanks, it’s going to be a gift from my son.
Awesome! Would you adopt me so I can get one too?

I am an engineer. It should come as little surprise that a number of my friends are conductors.
I’m primarily an audio engineer. I work with video too.
I am a writer of prose. I am editing a tome.
Writers love Hot For Words.
Where does the word “Tome” come from?
Howdy, it’s me again
Folks, I’m sorry. Mea culpa. Caramba! This is so shocking and disturbing!!
Can crushing boobs
Dude! Dios mio, hijo de puta, that’s just so….WRONG!
I don’t think it’s wrong at all. This woman has the power to crush cans with her boobs, she’s willing to do a demonstration, and I think it is quite a remarkable feat indeed (although of course a little coarse at first).
It is kind of interesting actually. I didn’t know that some women could crush cans with their boobs. Come to think of it, I’ll go to sleep a little more educated and knowledgeable tonight, thanks to the internet. I’m just curious about the maths behind this prowess. How heavy can be these breasts? 20 lbs each? Perhaps more?
“Never eat anything bigger than your head”
I watched one the shows she did and the right boob fell out of her bra. It was ENORMOUS, I MEAN HUGE, KAWABUNGA BIG. You know just the right size.
Just the right size? You’re kidding!!
I think these are way too big man. This woman could knock you out with a single “boob punch”.
I am a chest man, some are leg men some are butt men. I like em big, the more to play with.
I think her name is Busty Heart or something. I would sure like to see her in a nude magazine.
But this video also reminds me of the time I had my face between a porn star’s boobs with silicone implants almost as big. And the physicality of it was NOT pleasant. It was like having 2 dodgeballs pressed up against my tempos, and it left almost no breathing room that I nearly passed out. I was getting smothered while she was on staged, that I wanted it to be over with. Those 5 seconds felt more like 10!
Homework:
My own Hotforwords resume:
I spent several years volunteering with the Alliance for the Welsh Nation, which helped establish the Welsh Assembly in 1999 and contributed to the movement to re-establish the Welsh language, after its long persecution by the English. One could say I was “poeth dros geiriau” / “hot for words” long before Marina established her website and YouTube channel!
does that make you a Welsher?…
(don’t worry – i slapped myself for that one…
)
Yeah, I get that a lot…starting in first grade:
“Taffy was a Welshman,
Taffy was a thief…”
I’ve just come to regard being a Welsher as a good thing.
This isn’t the first time I have asked for this word. And I know the season has passed, but I want to know the origin of the word “Medium” in reference to those who claim to speak to or with the dead. Please? I love your lessons!
hmmm…one who is in the middle ‘tween the dead & the living…
too bad Halloween is past…’twould have been a good one…
I am an xl myself. Wished I was a large, but ate too many
pizzas.
That was pennsyltucky’s job.
I would definitely want your calender to be stuffing my square shaped stockings

Homework : Does starting a business need resume ? I don’t think so
Dear Teach – So glad to hear Gorby is home. Surely your vet made mention that he would probably display lack of appetite. If you even suspect that he is eating too little over some period of time, then get on the phone and pester the vet until he…crap, I’m having trouble wording this succintly. Now more than ever he needs food and hydration, so just don’t let the vet put him on the back-burner, so to speak. Time is critical here. I hope I’m making a mountain out of a molehill, but I had a terrible experience with one of my dogs in a similar situation once. Always.
Ken Block driving skills . Awesome little video.
Damn…
Okay, THAT was kewl. I hope they at least had to use several takes… almost scary.
That Segway part was amazing!
Hey Marina,
You have a beautiful smile.

Well well, Mr O’Reilly attacked the governor of my home state about freedom of religion in the capital building. I can’t stand our governor but I think she is doing the right thing, well sort of. I think any religious material need to be removed from the capital. I have friends that have different religious beliefs that are in conflict with the dominating religion (Christians) in the US. Muslims, Buddhists, Atheists, Catholics, Protestants. If I where to place Muslim decorations I would be hauled off. We should accommodate all religions equally or not at all. Anything else is discrimination. Im not talking about hate organizations like the KKK. Its all about respect for what other people beliefs and we should not take steps to not to offend those beliefs. And the argument about what we have been doing for years so it must be right, does not apply to the future. I know Bill was just doing his job for ratings. Good thing I wasn’t there or I would have had him eating his words. ehhehehe. All this brings up a word Christmas. Did he look up which religions do not recognize Christmas? Has he even looked up the origin of Christmas?
Well I have to put some more decorations on my ‘Holiday Tree’ . I miss calling it a Christmas Tree.
Its ok, call it a Christmas tree Captain. And say Merry Christmas to everyone as well. I do.
I will not submit to the PC rubbish…ever!
Well for me its not ok. Many retail companies will write you up for saying Merry Christmas to a customer with a potential of loosing ones job. I was written up once when I said Merry Christmas to a customer who then complained to management. I remember that day well.
Im just trying to unlearn what my grade schools teacher taught me for so many years now that I have discovered they were incorrect. 
But im still not going to bend on not calling Pluto a planet. 
Also I respect my friends beliefs differ from mine. So over the years I have been learning new words to use.
Looks like Ken Schram of Komo TV news is getting on the subject. Here’s a quote.
Now Fox TV faithful have been dialing at the rate of about 200 calls an hour. Our government had to hire ($$) a calling service to handle the calls. My question is should I send the bill to Bill O’Reilly?
LOL this is really getting funny now….
I use to live near the Puget Sound area. I wonder if they are still dealing with water pollution?
Yes they are! Now they are learning it’s not us boaters.
There was a new law that came out that would require every boater to collect all water that landed on our boats and properly dispose of that water. This include rain water. Well this law was mostly for commercial ships from other countries but they failed to exclude the small boaters. Now that law has been repaired.
Just recently they have discovered that when they tightly regulated the boaters that the pollution increased. Later they found out it was the people in the cities that are the ones polluting and now are taking steps to fix this problem. Most of the pollution is from storm water run off. In other words when people put weed killers on their lawns or let bad stuff go into the storm drains this pollutes the sound. So the people who where complaining the most were the ones polluting the most.
I agree with you, Captain Jack; public areas aren’t the place for religious displays. But despite whatever skills in rhetoric you may have–and I’m sure they’re quite good–I don’t think they’d be of much help on the Factor, much less successful in making him eat his own words. O’Reilly exists in his own little world that is based on delusions so profound I can’t even begin to fathom them. I’m really glad Marina’s getting the publicity, but I sympathize with her for having to spend time around him.
Here Here Nathan19.
Great comment to add to Jack’s. 
Rhetoric? Wow, I had to look up that word to make sure I had the definition correct in my mind. Im not sure if I deserve rhetoric to be associated with I. There are much greater rhetoric people here that that deserve that title. O’Reilly’s delusions are of lack of knowledge of facts. Your right I could not make him eat his words in the quick 8 minute interviews. Off camera and with 30 to 40 minute, yea, I think I can make him eat some of his words. If that failed then I could bake his favorite cake with some of his words on it, then I bet he would eat a slice or two.
Yea I like that she is able to get on the show. I hope everyone writes to Bill and thanking him for having M on the show. I think having M on the show is a great addition. This isn’t the only show you will see M on.
Bill O’Rielly’s point was that the menorah and the nativity scene are symbols. The poster that was displayed by the atheist group is an actual statement “attacking” (his word not mine) organized religion. Also, in his commentary, he does mention that it is a state and federally recognized holiday (Christmas that is). /shrug Personally, I think the atheist poster is just a group of people trying to say “Hey, look at me!”
I don’t think the poster (now has been redesigned in brass) is not a look at me, but statement of what they doesn’t believe in. Atheist have a problem with being bomb barded with religious symbols and wish to fight back with their own. I see this group or groups similar to them growing larger everyday. What Bill fails to understand is the facts that it’s against the law. Bill is asking Chris Gregoire to break a few laws. Posting the phone number was truly uncalled for.
fuck political correctness. I Call it what you want. you have a right to your traditions as much as they have to theirs. Seems like the only people seeking their ‘rights’ today are people who want to squash your own. I hope you sing some ‘christmas carols’ too whether you have the religiousness of it in you or not.
Your exactly correct. The Bill of Rights protects freedom of speech, freedom of religion, the right to keep and bear arms, the freedom of assembly, the freedom to petition, and freedom of the press. I see Ken Schram point that this defiance is just feeding and drawing more attention to the atheists. So in a way Bill O’Reilly is helping atheists getting national attention. Maybe Bill is an atheist.
I am an agnostic… atheism and agnosticism are not religions by the way lol. I would still call it christmas whenever. The UK is so stupid about this at the moment. In Oxford the council changed the name of the christmas lights to the “winter light festival ” to avoid offending Muslims. Funny how we don’t have a spring summer or autumn light festivals though isn’t it. What makes me laugh is that the muslims complained to the council, and said they were not at all offended by the word christmas.. Haha, Good Muslims. They piss me off sometimes but they stick up for england when it comes to political correctness. My town got a small column in the national press because this year the dip-shit mayors stand in banned the 400yr old tradition of firing muskets, because it scared young children and old people (there are a lot of old people where I live) Well how long do the kiddies cry for about 3 minutes? they are given a warning….. My heart bleeds, It’s not like there were not enough fireworks that they enjoyed a month before is it…. And old people still know what a musket is. We are given the impression they are curled up in a corner of a dark room rocking back and forth scared stiff. Its not like they are firing the musket in a nursing home. its in the middle of the square, and its not like they are firing in the middle of a meternity ward either.. It makes me so pissed off
No muskets in the square
In Michael Moore’s “Bowling for Columbine” documentary, there was a cartoon in it called “A Brief History of the United States of America” Really explains the paranoia in the US. This is spreading throughout the world. The big media companies and (soon to be) the former government are fueling this fear.
My question to anyone; Do you know what this kind of fear can lead to?

Update: The brass atheist sign has been stolen from the Washington State Capital. Sign has been found near a radio station with a large crease and a post-it note with some kind of name on it. Police are treating this as a criminal case.
Seattle radio station says it has missing atheistic sign- Komo news.
Stolen atheistic sign dropped off at radio station- King 5 news
I find it amazing how words on a sign can upset people in such away that would cause them to steal the rights of others. I think America has forgotten the words on the Bill of Rights.
Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly said, called the display “political correctness gone mad” and urged viewers to call Gov. Chris Gregoire’s office to complain. “She is a weak and confused leader who allows a fanatical group parody in Christmas displays. I mean how crazy is this?” he ranted. “Washington State is ground zero for every nutty secular cause on earth.”
Apparently to Bill, following the Washington State Law is a sign of weak and confused. I think it’s Bill should do some basic research on a story before he films the show. Then maybe he would get more credibility. Oh wait, I forgot he works for Fox News which has no credibility.
Marina,
Can you tell me the origin of this word. Curio. Thank you.
PJ
¡Muy bien dicho! Pas d’erreurs de français cette fois-ci Meine Dame. Nice blue dressed and white puppied lesson!
Any decent resume should hoard thundering seawinds, bold explorers and caravelles, savage lands, howling wolves, charging toros bravos, pirates, conquistadores, clansmen, vikings and aztecs, wheeliing hayabusas, flying eagles and buffalo stampedes, crazy horses, glaives, swords, axes, sabers, beautiful veiled belly dancers, cavalry charges, running appaloosas, knights and winged dragons, beer beer, lots of wine, blond walküres with horned helmets, deep forests and high mountains, a couple of princesses and a lot, yes, quite a lot of beautiful women. That, I think, would be some acceptable resume.
Another romantic spirit! Well said!
I’d say more poetic than romantic

Wot? No unicorns?
WORD XD “PUNK”
Let’s see; student intern with experience in credit fraud, support, disputes, correspondence and of course Volunteer Firefighter. Glad to see that Gorby is looking better Marina. We were all worried.
Marina, do a video on the word, “beautiful.” Many viewers have used this adjective to describe you.
Does it only describe your external characteristics, or is there an inner beauty that is revealed by the quality of your actions?
Is inner beauty in the way you treat your viewers? Or the way you treat your dog? Is it in the way you do interviews? Is beauty in the many types of food you enjoy?
I think you would know many, many things about beauty.
Gee…and I thought I was being an (***WORD REQUEST***) obsequious sycophant!
pretty pretty
That sounds more like a question of philosophy than of philology.
i have a great job for you dude. i’ve been in the army for almost 4 years and it is a great job. if you don’t have any family and have a lot of energy inside that you want to get out. and right now it would be the only thing i put on my resume. i just did odd jobs before that.
Damienro,
Thank you for your service to our great country. If I could have served, I would have, gladly. Disqualified for asthma.

Thank you also for your service to our country. Be safe if you have to deploy. We will keep you in our thoughts.

Hi Hotforwords,
I would like to request you to research the origin but mainly the correct pronunciation of the word “Solder”. As in to fuse to metals together. Is it pronuced Sol-der or Sod-er without the L. Everywhere I look i find different answer, some clam it to be region specific, like in NA the l is dropped but in Europe/Aus it is said with the L.
Thanks in advance, Ellfopee
The L is silent in the U.S. Here’s another “soldery” term: eutectic.
You say ‘Stocking stuffer’, I say ’stocking filler’
What about the saying ‘humbug’, as my request!
Thanks!
I say, you’ve got to have a huge stocking to fit that calendar inside.
Good request… I second “humbug”
Thirded.
Did someone say Huge Stocking
Hello! Newbie here
I have a word, rather a two word phrase that a certain NHL hockey player (Shawn Avery) recently used that got him in a whole lot of trouble! The words are “Sloppy seconds”.
Can’t wait for the next video!
I’ll try to spare Marina having to explain this one.
“Sloppy seconds” is a sexual term. When one guy has sex with a woman, and then very shortly thereafter another guy has sex with that same woman, using the previous guy’s ejaculate as a natural lubricant, it’s referred to as “sloppy seconds.” I don’t know anything about an incident involving Shawn Avery using the phrase–I don’t follow sports–but the fact that it’s a sexual thing I’m guessing is what got him in trouble.
That was kewl Nathan19 to explain it that way.
I know as well as you Marina wouldn’t do a video on something like that, so you killed two birds with one stone , so to speak. A true gent. 
Your right Marina wouldn’t do a video of that but she might have on the radio show that is now canceled.
My apologies to HFW and to the others here. I now realize that the phrase is a bad idea. Rookie mistake. I won’t do it again.
hi hotforwords,
were does the phrase GI. JOE come from?
keep up the good work

I downloaded photoshop cs4 yesterday, still don’t know how to use the bloody thing. Oh well i have gimp
hey ya
was just wondering, what single word has the most meanings atached to it
thought it would be interesting
cheers
if
How very laconic of you, bsomebody… very Spartan
I saw something about this a while ago on a QI program on BBC, but I can’t remember which word they said it was.
Good word request, eish. I second it.
Marina could bring back the “Guess the word” game, give us some clues to help us work it out.
i would suggest “up” we wake up. tie things up. look up in the dictionary upstairs upward its got a lot of meaning.
I
I’ve heard before that the word “set” has a large amount of varied meanings. When I read your question, I briefly looked it up in my dictionary, and it had a really long entry, but I didn’t really peruse it. You ought to check it out.
It was set, now it is the word “make”. From the Oxford English Dictionary by Victoria Hume.

Homework: My resume is varied and long, so I’ll say “Jack-of-all-trades”. Right now I am a professional student (and a provert).
Word Request: History – an old professor of mine used to tell me that “history” was formed from two words… “Hi” (from “high”), meaning “tall” and “story”, meaning “tale”. So history is a tall tale. Does History have anything to do with telling stories? Or is it an account of events?
Oooh! I second.
Word request: History.
do you have a tall tale to tell?
HotforHistory,
That is a great request! Can I join in?
abso-tively
Maybe it comes from “his story.”
Marina, i sent a word request on youtube but then i saw that you want us to request them here..so the word is Pagan..as in referring to ancient religions and practices. where does that word come from?
late
chief cook and bottle washer….and master of none, yeah, that sums it up
ALERT! ALERT! ALERT!
If you are interested in getting a calendar… consider this one before you buy!!!
Ho! Ho! Ho!
Now that’s funny. Poo calendars. I think it’s a “Sham”
You’re probably right… the calendar, if you actually get it… is of shitty quality and stinks!
Sadly I do…
You bet there is a fucking poo fetishits (no pun intended, i just can’t spell it. Can’t be bothered to think) behind it
“They want shootin’ they really do”
Nan,
Catherine Tate Show
Remember two girls and one cup.
You Tube is so screwed up working lately. They add and move things around so some things don’t work right. I would drop You Tube and just stay with Marina’s site, but I like to harass the utubers that are ugly to people.
Don’t worry Marina I use another You tube account for that so they want follow me back here. Some of those asinine people deserve it. 
Kinda reminds me of Wal-Mart! Just as soon as you learn where everything is they move stuff around
Now where can I find the hunting guns? Oh yeah next to the kiddie toys 
Sounds about right for WallyWorld. Plus no one knows where anything is located in the store.
They do that so you have to go hunting around for your cornflakes, in the hope that you’ll notice something else tempting and be sucked into an impulse buy.
For the same reason they always put the high mark-up stuff at eye level.
Sometimes it annoys me when the cashier yells “Pull!” and launches a box of cornflakes into the air before I’ve had a chance to reload.
So that’s what I keep breaking my teeth on.
To answer your yesterdays question. YT placed the search bar on the top of her video. They are doing it on many embedded videos. I’ve done some Google searching and many people are upset over it. On guy even put Screen shots of his page to show how ugly it looks. From my current research I see google ’s search algorithms are being implemented into YT more. I also notice there using a speech-to-text software in to pulling out words in the videos. It looks like Meta Data (descriptive text next to videos) isn’t going to be a factor anymore. This is part of Googles efforts to make it easier for you to find the video you want, regardless if the video producer post any meta data. This could be a good thing for I hate writing meta data.
There is no way Marina would ever drop YT. They are the most popular video site. Notice I didn’t say the best video site?
Thanks for the explanation Jack. I know she couldn’t do away with You Tube, but they are a pain in the butt sometimes.
Hey daddy jack them boys are flaming my post down below.
hey jack your colored box reminds me of welcher’s grape juice.
I have a go at them. someone wrote a bad review about marina on poptub you should see what i wrote…… actually they have removed it. They only want nasty comments. http://youtubereviewed.wordpress.com/2008/09/21/poptub-reeeaaaallllyyy-wants-you-to-watch-their-channel/
youtube can be a poonanny especially now they have changed stuff wish the would leave it alone. Youtube is like me…. always playing with my prick
Capman911 et al.
Let’s start a “HFW brigade” division of Marina’s fan club and put thumbs down on all the YT “trash comments” on Marina’s videos. Six of us devoting a few minutes each time a new video comes out could effectively remove these from the default view (-5 or better). Who’s in?
Here is some interesting stuff on the search bar.
I am just watching this video right now.
