    The Dutch have a holiday on the 5th of November (or december.. Forgot which) that’s called “SinterKlaas.”
    Sinterklaas is a man who came from spain on the first of november to bring gifts. He traveled the Netherlands until the 5th of november, and then went back to spain. He has helpers called “Zwarte Pieten” litteraly “Black Petes” who are comparable to Santa’s elves. The black petes however follow sinterklaas around the netherlands to help him and to throw “Pepernoten” at the crowds of children. Pepernoten are small biscuits or cookies that taste similar to “Speculaas” which are in turn similar to Gingerbread. Sinterklaas also has a horse called “Amerigo” and carries a staff similar to that of a bishop.

    I don’t know why I’m telling you all this, but I suppose it is cool to know albeit a bit late for christmas.

    by the way: Webcorrupter – the channel is Fox news not faux news. Faux pronounced like “foe” is a french word meaning fake. The fur coats hotforwords mentioned are faux fur – fake fur.

    I wonder where [faux] comes from other than french…

      The spelling was intentional because it is, in fact, fake news. By the way, it’s Webcorruptor not Webcorrupter. Saint Nicholas day is generally celebrated on December 5th or 6th depending which country it is. I think one is the day he was born and the other is when he died. It is supposed to be celebrated in Germanic countries for the most part. So, It would make sense for “SinterKlaas” to be based on him as Marina says in the video.

    It’s good that you posted this. I wouldn’t have seen it otherwise since I have been boycotting Faux News for quite some time. It’s nice to know that there is finally something worth watching on that channel. By the way, I couldn’t think of one before, but now I know who I would give a “louche bag” award to: Bill O’Reilly. I hope you’ve seen the Youtube video where he throws a tantrum back when he was hosting “Inside Edition”. It’s hilarious. Also, if someone doesn’t like Faux News, they aren’t necessarily left wing. Faux News doesn’t speak for all conservatives just like all conservatives are not in favor of wiretapping, waterboarding, pre-emptive war, destroying the constitution, torture, police equiped with tazers, and huge deficits created by uncontrollable spending. If they’re supposed to be fair and balanced then, why do they always want to call everyone who disagrees with their Nazi, fascist beliefs left wing? The media should at least attempt to be impartial. While I believe it is true that most media is left wing, that doesn’t make it alright for Faux News to abuse their position by masquerading as News when they are really just a political tool of Neocons.

      Good comment, webcorruptor. :smile: Yet Conservative news, Opinion, and Commentary never claims to be balanced. The whole point is to present a conservative viewpoint. The mainstream media, as you point out, is overwhelmingly liberal and leftarded, but they conceal and deny this fact while pretending, (a euphemism for ‘lying’) to be fair and balanced. The “fair and balanced” news coverage of Obama was the first time the mask was openly removed from the biased media.

      I don’t care where Marina appears, I’m just glad to see her and learn the latest. We live in an Orwellian age in which ’stimulus package’ means ‘enormous debt for generations to come’ and ‘fairness doctrine’ means ’silence opposing views’.

      In such a world as this we need our dear Hot For Words teacher, to keep us on track and accurate in our use of words.

      And for the others here who object to her for her association with the Right, most of the foreign born people I know who came from Communist countries, such as Russia, Ukraine, Cuba, China, Viet Nam, etc., are conservative because they understand first-hand, (not liberal college social theory, but first-hand,) what it is truly like to live in a left-wing world. That’s why they come here!

      • webcorruptor says:
        63.1.1

        That’s a good point about people from Communist countries being conservative. Until recently the conservative movement has been the place for people who want less government and more freedom. From what I understand the Cuban community in Florida is a big conservative voting block. Also, my favorite author, Ayn Rand, was from the USSR. It must really suck to leave a country like that only to have everyone in the new country expect you to agree with the morons running the place you left in the first place. I’ve heard stories about people from the USA going to England and having people want to argue with them over the war in Iraq and Bush’s policies when most of the country disagrees with both, and Bush had a record low approval rating. I don’t know if Marina has said anything to indicate what her politics are, and I don’t blame her. People take politics very personally. I don’t think it makes sense to assume that she is either conservative or liberal by appearing on the O’Reilly Factor. It’s television and she isn’t discussing anything political on it. So, it’s a good way to get publicity for her calendar, youtube channel, and website. It could easily be nothing more than that. In honor of Bill O’Reilly though, I am going to request the word “falafel” which is one of the first things I’m sure he thinks of when he sees Marina along with soap suds. Hopefully, that will help everyone to remember his sex harrassment scandal a while ago and remind them that he is disgusting.

    “Hot for Words” is about . . . WORDS!
    Intelligently explaining word meanings is a gift to the English speaking world detached from any one ideology. So, once again, a person from the left, being devoid of substance, resorts to its premier Stalinist tactic of name calling. Anthonzi, in lock step with leftist elitism now calls Marina “ideologically irresponsible” and that old childish standby: “he’s stupid”. You’re like little children in a sandbox: “you’re stoopid, stoopid” Anyone who doesn’t think like leftist Anthonzi is stupid, dumb, a dunce, etc. That’s all they can do, call their opponents names, because their platform is nothing but feelings without form. This from the side who shrieks “tolerance”! How about tolerating another viewpoint? Lighten up and Grow up!

    • anthonzi says:
      61.1

      What a beautiful example of Whiteknighting. Who ever said I was tolerant? And how does it have any relevance??? Lets see, your argument includes the following fallacies: over generalizations, ad hominem, flat out making up your opponents position to construct strawmen on top of them, and producing a false dichotomy between you and wtf everything else you probably think is evil(Stalinist; O’rly?).

      Does any of this change the fact that O’Reilly fails to understand fundamental realities of the functions of the universe? Stawman arguments can’t make up for stupidity; in fact they serve only to exemplify the inanity of their proponents.

      • jokerman says:
        61.1.1

        You are a liberal, or a socialist, or someone who is on the fringe of thought. The mask worn by that philosophy is always tolerance. That mindset tolerates everything except dissent. Tolerance is relevant to illustrate hypocrisy.

        Your childish retort includes the fallacies of over- generalizations, ad hominem attack, and making up my position to construct a strawman. Hmmm, just what you accused me of. Not very original or insightful on your part.

        Moreover, you make a claim about O’Reilly, regarding his understanding “the functions of the universe” that is unsubstantiated, except in your mind, and quite meaningless. I am sure that someone as bright as O’Reilly understands basic science regarding the “universe.”

        Your foul mouth further reveals the paucity of your intellect, and the continued name-calling proves my earlier point. All your kind can do is ultimately call everyone they oppose some form of: “stupid.” It’s all you have in your immature arsenal and you keep proving it.

        Your core anger is very apparent and so close to the surface. It is sad to witness. As I said before, you need to mature, so grow up already.

        • anthonzi says:
          61.1.1.1

          You have yet to address Bill’s intellect and lack of critical faculties. And my previous post contains none of said fallacies.

          Farewell sir; I wish you well.

    Being intelligent also means being ideologically responsible :( Shame on you for appearing on Fox. O’Reilly is a dunce conservative. Try PBS next time? thx

    Hi Marina,

    pinhead how did that come from? where did that come from?

  10. zendiz says:
    52

    :mrgreen: it’s not ‘dra-hen’ you can really pronounce the word as dré-n or dréhyn (accent on e like Dr Dré or André, which is by the way a french name :razz: ), though in dutch the word is “draaien” which is pronounced ‘drahyen’ but with a longer and high a. pfff if i should explain this using phonetic writing i would get lost myself.

  11. tomballard says:

    I shouldn’t be surprised that you would be O’Reilly’s TV sychophant. Why would you be offended by a misogynistic s.o.b.? You are leveraging your sexuality into personal financial gain, after all. You know, about half the time I think you’re just reading from an etymological dictionary. The other half, I really wish you would read from an etymological dictionary. Sod you, media whore.

      I sense a little jealousy. o-o

    • xander_mander says:

      Yikes, where is the love?

    • jokerman says:
      51.3

      Actually, Marina’s leveraging intelligence, creativity, humor, uniqueness, joy, her fantastic looks, and just plain fun, into a special marketable niche which no one else had seen or acted upon.

      That’s what the free market is about. . . but you’re probably against that as well.

      Misogynist? Whore? It doesn’t take a Freud to know that what one hates and puts upon others is probably what they despise in themselves.

      Seriously, you have issues. Seek professional help. The Beatles sang: “All you need is love. . . ya-ta-da-ta daaa. . . All you need is love, love. . . love is all you need.”

    Мариночка, Вы замечательная. :)

    Oh, Marina, Marina. You really need to work on that German pronunciation of yours. :wink:

    “Drehen” (IPA: /ˈdʀeːən/).

    The “h” is not pronounced but is an indication that the “e” preceding it is a long vowel, not short. Long “e” (IPA: eː) is like “air” (like the name of the letter “A” but without the “ee” sound at the end). Like English, “-en” and “-er” endings use the obscure vowel (”uh”).

    Have you learnt how to read IPA, Marina?

    Because then you can just look up the words on the German Wiktionary and read off the IPA for the word to perfect your pronunciation.

    And, of course, the whole point of the IPA is that it defines vocal sounds in a language-neutral way, so it works for all languages (because, obviously, you can’t be expected to know how to speak every single possible language that exists – but the IPA at least lets you be able to pronounce the words fairly convincingly).

    :grin:

    Sorry, I’m such a terrible nit-picker, aren’t I? :roll:

    I’ll shut up now, before you refuse to ever talk to me again. :wink:

    Marina,
    It’s always great to hear an intelligent woman speek. And, you’re gorgeous to boot. You’ve got my vote! O’Reilly scored when he allowed you on his show. I look forward to the next show.

    Marina… Merry Christmas,
    Speaking of, I saw your name on Santa’s naughty list.
    Only because I am a couple lines under you.

    Marina, I wish you a very wonderful Christmas, and may all your dreams come true.
    You have two Christmas’ And as your student, I wish to have both Christmas’s also. December 25th and January 7th.

  18. guyman says:

    Speaking of Christmas (and Christians)…Question about the words associatred with the “mark of the beast”?

    The general consensuses between some of the various denominations of Christianity as to some of the definitions of the Mark of the Beast are;

    1. You will receive a “mark”.
    2. You will receive the mark of the beast on your “right hand”
    3. Accepting the mark of the beast shall “curse” you to eternal death.
    4. You will receive the mark of the beast on your “head”
    5. You will not be able to “buy or sell” without the mark of the beast

    That being said; isn’t it interesting that when you sign your signature on an Admiralty Maritime document that also has your STRAWMAN name on it:

    1. You don’t write your autograph, instead, you write your signature. The word “autograph” is a compound word: “auto” = “self” and “graph” = “symbol”. Your autograph is your sovereign symbol as a flesh-and-blood Sovereign Christian. The signature line on your check is not really a line; it is actually microprint repeating the words “authorized signature”.
    2. The root-word of signature is “sign”. “Sign” is literally translated from Latin as “mark”.
    3. In sigil magic, the bad guys create an evil symbol by taking a natural and good symbol and altering it to make it evil. “Signature” can be separated by sigil magic into “sig” which means “not” and the rest of the word is “nature”. This makes “signature” to mean “not-natural” or “un-natural”.
    4. You use your “right hand” or “writing hand” to receive the mark
    5. You always write your signature in “cursive” handwriting. The root-word of “cursive” is “curse”. One of the definitions of the word “curse” is “to communicate with the dead”. Are you communicating with the dead corporate STRAWMAN?
    6. Your STRAWMAN name is always spelled in all “capital” letters. The word “capital” is derived from the Latin word “capitae” which means “head”. (For example; decapitate means to cut off the head.) The phrase: El Capitan (”The Captain”, in Spanish) is the “head” of an Admiralty Maritime vessel. All of the names on gravestones are in capitol letters.
    7. In today’s world, we can see that it is becoming increasingly difficult to “buy or sell” anything without your STRAWMAN documents with your signature. Try to buy, sell or even get a job without your birth certificate, driver’s license, social security card, credit card, debit card, checkbook or your bank account; all of which have your STRAWMAN name on it in conjunction with your signature.

    All of these documents use your “capital” lettered STRAWMAN name in conjunction with your acceptance by your “signature” written in “cursive” with your “right hand” (or maybe your “writing” hand) in order to “buy or sell”. Symbolically, are you accepting the cursed mark on your head and your right hand in order to buy and sell things? Why are the bad guys always trying to create a “legal” (procedural; not lawful) nexus between the Sovereign and the STRAWMAN? We know it has to do with the bonds (negotiable instruments) that are sold on the open market using the Sovereign as collateral for the monetary value of said bonds. (We call that “statutory slavery”.) But is there a spiritual aspect as well? Would the entire beast system collapse in one day if all of the Christians quit signing their signatures on the STRAWMAN Admiralty Maritime documents? Do you see why Jesus said “woe unto lawyers, for they hold the key to knowledge…”?

    Marina, please let me know what you think. :)

    In truth and peace,

    Guyman

      44.1

      Makes sense to me, regarding “statutory slavery” and too, :wink: any sigil type cult. More and more people get lazy that way and falls to dictatorships through forms of democracy and that of unnatural laws. No matter what is writ. Actions for order to be good. Words don’t plant the grains without workers.

    Нет, ну мне нравится этот проект,… когда простая учительница Русского языка и литературы объясняет басурманам на их же басурманском языке происхождение их слов.
    …как сейчас помню свои уроки русского языка 4-го, 5-го, и 6-го, классов , когда наша учительница делала тоже самое для нас. Спасибо Вам мои учителя! (((что мы не выросли пиндосами)))

    К стати она была тоже красива и молода.
