MARINA-hacking also is driving a cab in new york city.tom-staten island.
I have an rather vague idea of the definition of the following word, diva. What exactly does diva mean, and is it a good thing or bad thing? And while we’re at it, Marina, are you a diva?
Well Teacher. I have been requesting these words for along time, either by themself or as a group. So here they are again…
PHANTASMAGORIA
MISANTHROPIC
EXTEMPORANEOUS
CIRUMLOCUTION
BACCHANALIAN
ANTHROPOMORPHIC
HYPOTHETICAL
VERISIMILITUDE
So. Do you think you can find out about one or two for me.

Optima et pvcherrima vitae amicuia
Their site is http://www.peppers.com.au
Srry to flood your channel but its very important.
I think “et” may mean “eat” or “and” or “the”
“Vitae” has something to do with life…
Optima et pvlcherrima vitae amicuia
I think “pvlcherrima” may mean beauty
And “optima” may mean excellent, or first-
Somebody help me here am I anywhere close??
.
.
ummmm ….. you’re close …..
OK, my best shot is this:
“The best and most beautiful [part] of life is friendship.”
Sorry I can’t be more certain.
What’s the origin of the expression “It’s a Catch 22 situation”?
My etymology teacher thinks it is Dutch
Optima et pvlcherrima vitae amicuia
a true philologist would know!
optima et pvlcherrina vitae svpellex amiucia
optima et pvlcherrina vitae svpellex amiucia
optima et pvlcherrina vitae svpellex amiucia
optima et pvlcherrina vitae svpellex amiucia

What is the origin of the word “kapeesh”?
copious of “copacetic” and Marina says:”There doesn’t seem to be any known origin of the word. It appears to have originated in the United States… perhaps the word cope plays a part.. but that is about all I can find. It was probably just made up by someone as a word that sounds cool.” or how about a french poet Francois Coppe’e
jestering with a guess”kapeesh” forthardknox
optima et pvlcherrima vitae svpellex amiucia
I think its Latin or roman.
optima et pvlcherrina vitae svpellex amiucia
optima et pvlcherrima vitae spvellex amicuia
very important!!!!!!!
In the peppers lodge in Australia, there is a phrase carved over the mantle of the fire place:
Optima et pvlcherrima vitae svpellex amicuia
It is vital that I find out what this means!! If you arent up to it; anyone that can help me would be much appreciated!!
Xoxo
Hey Anamda, Did you find the answer to your word translation yet. I have tried all of my internet translators and can’t find a match. Give Evan Owen a try, he is just below us as he knows quite a few languages. Leave him a reply and see if he can help you. Marina is in Vegas probably by now so she can answer us, but she will kinda be tied up for a day or two. Wish you luck.
TA Mike
OK I gotta fess up. I don’t learn foreign languages; I collect foreign phrases the way other people collect stamps, then trot them out like I would a stamp collection to impress people.
I really only speak English, Spanish, and some Welsh.
Oh, and read a little Russian, Bulgarian, Japanese, and French. Maybe a touch of Serbian and Greek. Plus of course whatever words in Portuguese, Romanian, and Italian that have Spanish cognates.
That said, the phrase is obviously Latin; the two “v’s” are the old way of writing “u”. When I get off work I’ll try looking up each word individually. But for now, something about “The best life” and “friends” is all I can make out.
Hey HFW Fans! Don’t miss the “Cover of Cool English Magazine” post — it’s a misnomer, there’s actually a whole interview with Marina, where she “spills the beans” about what she’s doing.
My take on it:
Marina is passionate about philology. She’s using her sex appeal to lure us into sharing her passion, until how we feel about sex becomes inextricably linked to how we feel about words.
Of course, I have always been passionate about philology, am intrigued by foreign accents, and have a breast fetish, so I was immediately hooked on HFW from the moment I saw her!

Hi Teacher ..
id like to know the origin and true meaning of a punk group name i like since my teen age.
the Word ( Rancid )
thanks.
Hi my dear teacher…
I was wondering about the origin of:
Serrendipidous
Thanks
Diddilysquat (another good word?)
“He doesn’t know diddly,” “He doesn’t know squat” both mean the same thing and are 1/2 of “He doesn’t know diddly-squat. I wonder if there is a term for this kind of thing.
There are a lot of phrases explained here, including this one and many others recently posed.
Word Request: patience
As in, “some people just don’t have any patience when making requests.” I thought this would be an excellent word to find the origin of, and, how does that word relate to patient, someone who is under the care of a doctor.
There seem to be many related phrases or expressions to the word patience such as;
- “My patience is wearing thin”
- “Patience my young Jedi” (<– That’s for you Yoda Mike)
- “Patience my pretty”
- “Patience is a Virtue” (although some might object to that)
- “Patience my ass, I’m gonna kill something.”
Could you do the video in the next hour?
I don’t have all day, you know.
“Patience comes to those who wait.”
I would like to know about this word too
Me too!!!…Well Wishing
see you around
It seems to me that if you are waiting, you’ve already got it.
patients and patience , got any connections ?
PK requests “patience” the day after the gun lesson. I am shocked ( see

***HFW on Polish website***
Hey, I just came across Marina’s karate lesson & a bunch of others on a Polish website. I hope they’re paying royalties!
Any YT vid can be embedded on any site if the author so allows. Some vids have an empty embed field, but M’s obviously do not. In effect they are paying her “royalties” by funneling traffic to her vids.
Speaking of other languages, I don’t understand why M doesn’t do a Russian version of every lesson for the almost 3 megapeople in the U.S. and the zillions abroad. Now that I think of it, why isn’t there a Russian version of the Website? Maybe it’s because there’s not a Russian version of Google Ads.

Hi Marina.I would like to know about the word MOVIE.I heard actors were called MOVIES at first,is this true?I just had a back operation yesterday and being on here today shows my support for you.I have voted for you several times,anyone with clear vision should be able to see you are far sexier than any others regardless of the outcome.I don’t understand all the neg. votes,how can anyone say you are not sexy,male or female.Anyway,thanks,i’m taking a Lortab and going to bed………………
and movies were also called photoplay at some time
Hey Marina, another thought:
You have a 3g iphone right? So do i (and they’re amazing!!!!! I love mine!). Anyway….you should make a hotforwords iphone app. If you don’t know how to make and submit an app, contact some of the companies that do, and I’m sure they would be eager to make it. That would be awesome! (and a lot more convenient than getting on the computer, signing in, etc….)
You should think about it.
Thanks!
Derek
(I posted this again in case you didn’t see it earlier)
I’m actually in the process of developing an iPhone app. It might be done in the next few weeks
Good idea
oh, nice! ill look forward to it then!
Also, last year i attended a foreign language day at the University of Oregon, and there was a class i attended on etymology. My friends and i went in not expecting much, and it wasnt a very popular class, but it was actually really interesting. We went over several examples of ancient words (as in from ancient civilizations) and watched how they developed over time. Maybe you could do that as a branch off of your ‘Guess the Word Game’, where you give the ancient word, and have people guess what the word means in modern english. (which is essentially the same thing we did in the class i attended). I think that would be really interesting.
Thanks for listening! Let me know what you think of my idea…
¡Buen idea, Jesús! Here’s one she did: “Abzu” — from Sumerian — guess what modern English (and Spanish) word comes from it?
abyss?
Very good! That and abysmal.
I thought maybe abzulutely.
nice! i really think a guess the word game like this would be awesome! only problem is that people would just look it up on the internet….hmmm, we have to find a way around that….
Yeah, you click on a lesson and your browser is disabled for 24 hours from looking at any other Website but M’s. That’s the ticket.
Now we need a term for this technique… How about “blackholing?” Once you are over M’s event horizon, you can kiss the rest of the Web goodbye.
Ancient words from ancient civilizations eh?
But are you really sure it wouldn’t be a little bit boring? I think I prefer smaller words… Like… gun.
It is a good idea.. but as you mentioned.. the key to my guess the word games is that I try to make them Google-proof (a term I made up, by the way
)
This past one had a nice diversion thrown in there that resulted in probably 99.99999999 percent of the people picking pander as the word! I was pretty happy with that. In previous ones, people have gotten the word in 30 seconds!!
Marina
Hey Marina, do you have a Pentium 585.9999999 processor in your computer?
Is that joke hopelessly dated?
Do you remember any of the words? I could always do it like, today’s word used to mean running away from your husband with your lover but now means running away from your parents… or something like that… I don’t know.. must think further
Are you thinking of eloping, Marina?
If so, from whom and with whom?
Jester and symbols…I thought of hanged. This one Sri Lanka, would of made a good “guess the word game” and fool us with Sniglets forever to THE REBUBLIC of LEXICON….now to do something about the house cat in heat
No, i dont, sorry. It was almost a year ago, so ive forgotten all of the words.
As i recall though, there are some words that, when directly translated, mean something weird or obscure, but have evolved to mean something else. So do any of your etymology books have anything like that? Think a lot of the words we used were old latin, if that helps.
What’s ((((((Shaken)))))) down there?
Hi my friends..
I want to share a website with you.
I know as with many of you the Russian culture is very interesting, and if we all keep asking, maybe our teacher will take us to Russia for a field trip.
In the mean time I visit this website daily. i hope everyone finds it as interesting as I do.

Marina, you might enjoy visiting too.
Awesome website Roland Buckles! Thanks for pointing it out
Interesting opening story today on Operation Barbarossa (1941 German invasion of USSR.) As the old joke goes: “Hass der Fuhrer seen zis map?”

marina ur breasts are delicious! PLZ WORD REQUEST OF THE WORD SOLES! EVERYONE REQUEST THIS O YA!!
That’s a rather forward comment, but I gotta admit to being fascinated by how they change with what she’s wearing!
ya i want to see her soles SO EVERYONE HELP ME REQUEST SOLES FOR THE NEXT WORD PLZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
what a poor SOLE
She bared her soles in her “Fetish” video while discussing foot fetishes.
not all of her soles!!!
That couldn’t really be you in that superwoman costume. Look at those legs!
Yuk! But yours are so beautiful .
Wow, Marina looks… hmmm let see, whats a good word? Ooh, I got it; scrumptious today. There we go. She looks scrumptious, just like on her calendar this month.
I have a request. Since you also do phrases, what is the origin of “Kitchy kitchy koo?” Why do you say it when you’re tickling someone?
It’s kind of specialized, so I have a suspicion that it appeared in one form or another of the media and took off from there. It could have been a movie or radio or even a comic strip, but something widespread, i.e. not just one book. That’s just my WAG.
Marina where did the term Deadhead come from i’m a follower of the Greatfull Dead music group since i was bout 9yrs old were knowed as deadheads and belong to their fan groups web site was told that jerry garcia one fine day found this in the bible and remaned the group greatfull dead so my word request is greatfull dead and i keep voting for my hot hot Marina thanxs and enjoy your fantastic weekend and you will be “Marina Sexiest Geek” for ever HUGS
Hi,they are better known as “The Grateful Dead”.They where originally “The Warlocks”.Yes,Jerry Garcia picked the Grateful Dead name out of a book,but I didn’t think it was a Bible,not sure.I don’t really consider myself a Dead Head,but I have seen them 4 times,Rochester,N.Y.,Buffalo,N.Y. and two nights in Oxford,Maine,Not sure of years but the Maine shows where July 2-3.Please don’t ask for details,they are all blurrs.
thanxs my spelling is a little off guess the 3wars i fought in has affected me somehow before jerry died i have been to over more than 100conserts and when jery died the group renamed as the dead in his honnor sorry my spelling is not as it should be but still able to fight in wars to defend our freedom Ltcom August Van Suchtelen US Navy Seals
Hi Augie,I meant no disrespect about your spelling,some people think it is spelled greatful.I joined the Marines in 1986,never been in combat and I thank you for all the service you have given to this country.I love this country and would die to defend the core beliefs it was built on.We are not perfect but we are still a beacon for the rest of the world.Our constitution stands second to NONE.God bless!!!!!!
thanxs my friend i was born in The Netherlands and at least you did serve your country war is hell to bad when this country changes and becomes American Union believe me we have problems here but we need to keep the USA not change to the AU
I have only been to one Grateful Dead show, but it was the musical event of my life. When I was in the Navy, my buddy’s dad was a roadie for the Dead. We had backstage passes at the Long Beach, CA coliseum. It was not really backstage, but in the back of the stage. It felt like everyone could see you, but because of the lighting, they couldn’t. We sat on a couch about 20′ behind the band, between the two drummers. I don’t smoke weed, but the air was literally blue. I didn’t even know I was hi, until I stopped on the way home, went in a phone booth and said, “Man, this phone has a really bad connection. Problem was, I hadn’t even picked up the phone, yet.
mmmm sweet memories
I do remember taking a limo bus with about ten friends to Buffalo.It was an open stadium and it started to rain.Bob Weir started singing “looks like rain” and the sky cleared.I have seen many different concerts but nothing so far has come close to a Grateful Dead show,they are unique and if you haven’t experienced one they are hard to describe.
.
.
The name according to answers.com: “As 1965 drew to its close, the Warlocks rechristened themselves the Grateful Dead, the name taken from a folk tale discovered in a dictionary by Garcia”
The use of “dead head” dates back to one of the earliest uses by Mark Twain in 1873 which meant “Anyone traveling for free”, and took on the meaning: “A person either admitted to a theatrical or musical performance without charge, or paid to attend” around the turn of the century, with the band itself originating “dead heads” in reference to themselves in print in 1971 on the sleeve of the “Grateful Dead” album for their postal mailing list.
Having lived through it and been there personally, this was the era of all the “heads” in general like “pot head” and “coke head”and “drug head” and just about “anything head” so I reason in thinking back on it this was how the “dead head” came about and/or shared the meaning of getting in for free.
wow thanxs sweetie very interesting deadheads live 4ever
Yes,that is correct.I remember it said something like “dead heads unite,join the fan club”.They became famous for their free “shows” in Golden Gate Park and the commune house in Haight Ashbury.I have about 300 bootlegs from their shows as they are the only group that allowed people to record and even set up recording areas to the left and right of the sound stage.During the Maine shows I was in the taping section.My friends were allowed to plug directly into the mixing board,no outside noise at all.Those recordings sound amazing.All four shows I saw included Brent Mydland if that helps date them.
Hello Marina,
I need your help to better understand the word, invalid.
I was recently in the Hospital and had undergone an operation. While I was an “invalid” recovering from this operation I got bad news about my medical insurance.
You see I forgot to make my payments and therefore my Insurance was “invalid.”
Thanks,
darnko
Big earthquake in So Calif just a second ago
You OK Marina?
Don’t know epicenter yet
Big is relative. It scared the crap out of me.
silly that was no earthquake my x-wife just fell lol
I guess you missed catching her?
missed no no had to run out of the way lol hehehe just funnin around i was there when the Northridge quake hit and that was just a wakeup call be safe everyone after all Marina needs our vote
You are too funny augie,
I remember Northridge very well and I lived 90 miles away. I used to live in that area and when I visited the area several months later I was shocked to see the devastated apartments and homes.
4.9 in San Bernardino
http://www.data.scec.org/recenteqs/Maps/117-34.html
Hope all is OK.
Here’s another link for info…
http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter/recenteqsww/Quakes/ci10370141.php
I just noticed that they upped the magnitude from 4.9 to 5.0 Lots of callers talking about it on the radio.
This is an interesting link to bookmark… all earthquakes 24/7 around the world… covers the last 7 days.
http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter/recenteqsww/Quakes/quakes_all.php
Oh great, they just downgraded
the quake from 5.0 down to 4.5
They’ll get right yet.
I was uploading a 690 MB file of videos to this Hotel Network for viewing in Hotel Rooms.. and it was almost done… took about 2 hours.. had about 100k to go… earthquake it.. and boom.. it reset itself and now it’s uploading again.. from scratch… arrggghh!!
Very glad that you are OK!
Darn those resets.
Look at it this way. The little earthquakes let the pressure off bit at a time so as to avoid the really BIG earthquakes!
We get them up here, too. And the occasional volcanic eruption.
There are, at least for Windows PCs, download-helper applications that can resume a download from the point at which an on-going download crashed. But you wrote “upload to this Hotel Network” (rather than download to your laptop) — you mean from your place in CA to Hotel in Las Vegas? If you are doing a ftp transfer, the ftp software filezilla claims that it “Supports resume and transfer of large files >4GB” — but this is for Windows only — I used filezilla once to upload a large file from my Windows laptop to a remote server over the internet.
Incidentally, some servers require a periodic “keep awake” signal from the PC that is uploading data to it — if the server does not get this signal, it will cut-off connection with the PC; filezilla generates this signal (not all ftp software generate such a signal).
–Hs4Mm
.
.
.
It also depends on the server settings whether transfers can be resumed ….. it normally tells you the ‘welcome message’ …..
i.e.
STATUS:> [1/9/2009 11:24:00 AM] This site supports features.
STATUS:> [1/9/2009 11:24:00 AM] This site supports XCRC.
STATUS:> [1/9/2009 11:24:00 AM] This site supports SIZE.
STATUS:> [1/9/2009 11:24:00 AM] This site can resume broken downloads.
I was uploading to my own server and for some reason it reset… no warning.. just reset from scratch. It usually allows me to resume. I was also downloading something with Firefox from another place and it just hung at the last 2k or so.
When I press to vote for ‘Sexy Geek’ snafu breaks out…3 in a row times
I restart the whole bloody thing 
Uninstall and Reinstall your software, only sure way to fix it.
If it still resets, then it’s a hardware problem. And that would be a shame
Warning : Do as advised above, only if you decide the procedure doesn’t take more time than the bother your application causes!
very happy that your safe sweetie dont know what i’ll do without you and HFWs in my life you have given me as well as your viewers so much joy and understanding in life as a whole be safe and happy sweetie you friend and protector Ltcom August Van Suchtelen US Navy Seals its worth my time to keep AMERICA safe from harms way to make sure you and all my friends here and every american can continue to enjoy our freedom HUGS

Click on my name to vote.
i’d like to request a word….”deadpan”
Dear Marina,
I was thinking about you the other day. Your vocabulary must be so colorful, I wonder what you say when you are really worked up and and wildly swearing profanities. (Or do you swear in Russian?) WHAT IS THE ORIGIN OF THE WORD SWEAR? In court, to swear is good but, to swear as in a back alley is not good. HOT FOR WORDS MUST INVESTIGATE.
Yours,
mpieman
I just wanna see that wild side of her
Здравствуйте, HotForWords, Ты такая красивая.
Umm I actually wanted to know what Kalinka means??? :-]
While you’re waiting for an answer, you can listen to Калинка.
And watch a little Russian dancing by the Leningrad Cowboys!
Калинка, калинка, калинка моя! В саду ягода малинка, малинка моя!
Ах, под сосною, под зеленою, Спать положите вы меня! Ай-люли, люли, ай-люли, Спать положите вы меня.
Калинка, калинка, калинка моя! В саду ягода малинка, малинка моя!
Ах, сосенушка ты зеленая, Не шуми же надо мной! Ай-люли, люли, ай-люли, Не шуми же надо мной!
Калинка, калинка, калинка моя! В саду ягода малинка, малинка моя!
Ах, красавица, душа-девица, Полюби же ты меня! Ай-люли, люли, ай-люли, Полюби же ты меня!
Калинка, калинка, калинка моя! В саду ягода малинка, малинка моя!
All I know is that in iceland, prostitution is legal but strip teases are not.
As it should be. No fair teasing.
hey hotforwords, i got a word for you, IRONIC
Hello aarongear,
Ironically, Marina has already created a great video lesson on that word. Ironically, I probably misused that word in my sentence, so, I need to get some remedial training.
Join me in watching the Ironic video lesson here.
http://www.hotforwords.com/2007/09/28/this-video-is-ironic/
You can find all of Marina’s video lesson by clicking on the link in the upper left of the page that says, “Words/Lessons”
I think the 2008 Sexiest Geek Contest has become a bit of a joke. It doesn’t really matter to me if Marina wins or not. But there is a whole list of people who are CLEARLY sexier than Philip DeFranco, that have been disregarded.
So if you want Marina to have a better chance at winning….
Vote for Marina AND vote against Phil! (That’s like +2 votes a person per a day.)
Sometimes I think a lot of the voters are insecure idiots who have been watching YouTube for far too long.
If we do that then we need two separate sites with a computer and different IP address as we an only vote every 24 hours. Us yours at home then go to a friends house and vote again. Or to all your friends houses.
I was able to vote twice in five minutes.I voted once and clicked a different link to the contest and was able to vote again.
wow i got 4computers and 6laptops thats ten votes a day sweet as she will win
That was a cool game. It took some general knowledge, some research, and some creative thinking. Are we going to have a general start time/day for these? It looks like time could be a factor, too. Looking forward to it.
Wow! hs4mm has been a subscriber since December 29, 2008
Pretty slick!
Hey Marina,
Got a couple interesting words for you.
Check out the derivations of “gymnasium”
(which might be something you’d enjoy)
And “pumpernickel” which is just plain
weird!
Best,
Macedonski
Hello Macedonski,
I don’t think I’ve done anything to bug you yet, so here’s a little present for starters:
Що ми е мило ем драго
Cheers,
“Иван” Owen
I really thought it would be pirate…greatestpotential was on to something…yarrrr….
Can you make a video on Greenhouse. When you make the video can you tell us why a Greenhouse is called a Greenhouse when the color isn’t green (its clear)?
Here is something of a greenhouse!
This has to be the first time I have ever been disappointed that there was no homework.
I have some for you. Try your luck at the new forums section on the right side of the page and partake in some Marinaville games. Some of them are pretty challenging.
Well, at least I guessed hacker right. But haker was a bit of a throw off, since you can’t SPECIFICALLY find that word anywhere. Do they only fish for hake or is more of a fish farming thing? (Because there are plenty of fish out there in the sea!)
Hello Marina ! I would be very pleased if you could define for me… And I guess some others, the origin of the word Toboggan. What a strange word ! Isn’t’ it ?
Great game. Congrats to the winners
I can’t wait till the next one.
Have a fun, yet safe trip to Las Vegas. Remember what happens in Vegas…. Goes on the internet
WORD REQUEST: xylophobia
Obviously a fear of xylophones. In the hands of my children, they were deadly!
.
.
LOL! Not quite Evan ….. fear of wooden objects and/or forests …..
Thanks, Marina -I think is really cool you give a prize for winners both here and YouTube!
You rock!
In the movie Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo the line “Intelligence is sexy” is used.
Hey Marina,
I would love to hear you speaking Russian again. That’s why I wonder what is the origin of the word St. Petersburg/Санкт Петербург – I am also planning on going there so I would love to know it before I leave.
Thanks a lot!
Jimmy98227
Jimmy, is that your zip code? If so, we’re fellow Bellinghamsters!
If Marina doesn’t get to your request before you go, then Google Peter the Great.
Добрей вечерь
Evan
Good afternoon, Professor Marina.
I’m probably not the first to suggest this, but what about “grin and bear it”?
Thank you for taking this under consideration.
Ever so humbly,
Hooter
Congratz to the winners of the Hoe Game.
That sounds kinda funny hoe game, any way I see your going to Vegas. As PageDoll said have a great time and be safe. Also I see you asked oliviamunn to meet up with you. Sorry for being nosy. 
How about introducing her to us or me, she is purty. 
.
.
Perhaps she wants to keep her to herself
Could be, could be.
Cap, I knew you were here just to meet girls
You have to listen to this… inspired by your avatar, of course.
I found it funny, I hope you do too!

Thanks Chemikal, that was a good one.
Hey Chemikal,
Good morning from Washington State. Here’s a playlist I made of Romania’s #1 hit song. Hope you’re not already too tired of listening to it!
Good morning Evan, I got this message saying “There are no videos in this playlist.” I don’t know why it didn’t work.
Lookie here. She is not hard to find.
this is a game where googling only gets you so far
now to GTW Game 12
congratulations to thereallybigj and hs4mm

Hmmmmmmmm …..
It’s really hard to believe the word “haker” made it all the way to a real dictionary (only ONE?) without ANY references to it anywhere on the entire internet
(in this universe)
Congratulations to the winners!
there is hake in the dictionary , but no haker ==
.
.
Yeah – found “hake” everywhere but NO “Haker” …..
Very strange …..
ooooo nice bike Popzzz here’s mine.

Cool CP!
Have a great time in Vegas!
…I fell in love three times just waiting to get into this place! 
If you go clubin’ don’t forget to check out these great places
Body English : This place has a great layout and more beautiful people than you can shake a stick at, so you’ll fit right in.
Rain : Spent a night in the VIP in this place. Cool lighting and fire! Had the time of my life as far as clubs go.
Tryst : The momment you walk down the stairs into this club you will be taken back by its beauty. The patio is amazing and the waterfall will make you wonder just how far below the earths surface you really are.
Make sure to tell the cab driver you’re there to go clubin’ and they’ll usually kick-down free passes to any place you want to go…Just tip him a little more, its worth it.
NO RUSSIAN GAS

Any change in subs?
I don’t see why anyone wouldn’t get into this, and try his skills or his luck.
Also, a few word requests :
“for Pete’s sake!”,
“get a kick out of it”,
“fingers crossed”.
Chemikal, do you have a dictionary of American idioms or are you just running across these in your reading and email? Your use of English is getting more and more colloquial.
Oh, I came across these idioms in my English class.
It’s called Professional Communication, but it teaches us both formal and informal language.
Glad you reminded me, today I learned “next of kin“.
I love today’s quote of the day:
Remind me to use that concept in next week’s contest,
even though I’m going to disqualify myself from winning.
Great quiz Marina and congratulations to the two winners. Had me really stumped. Looking forward to the next one
What does catnap mean
catnip ?
Maybe that too. Y’know, like “cats take catnaps after taking catnip.”
Cats seemingly go to sleep and awaken in an instant at the slightest disturbance, so a catnap is a short nap vs. a deep sleep.
Very imaginative word game.
I’ve never hacked with a hoe.
Also never ate hake.
.
.
Have you ever been a “haker”?
Hehe I didn’t expect to win anything so easily, but it was fun to dream…
Congratz to the winners that Marina picked out, from her site and from YouTube.
It sure was exceptionally nice of her to pick 2 winners instead of one.
smileyz, so cute!
Well, well, well… this was swell. If at first you don’t succeed… don’t give up… the next chance is only a week away. Hooray!
Gave up on GTW XI, after considerable thought. Would like to request the origins of ‘absurd’, don’t think it’s been done, but I could have missed the video. Congratulations to winners of game XI.
Dear совершенная Marina, Well, I also had the right answer, and provided three names for extra credit! But I wasn’t selected for a prize.
But if I told you the prize I want from you in advance, you probably would never pick me for a winner! So, I’ll keep quiet and hope to win next week’s conest!
Nice dress, and you look so happy when you’re playing a game!
I hope you have a nice safe trip to Las Vegas and back from CES. Microsoft is announcing their new operating system, “Windows 7.” I might take a trip to Las Vegas in 2010 for the next CES.
С влюбленностью к Марине. seesixcm6

B.B.
Looking forward with baited breath

Remember the movie Hackers with Angelina Jolie. It was a so so movie for the time.

Yeah but she was so hot, even then!
By giving us the clues, we did philology?
Or rather we just filled in the blanks, like in the Hangman game…
Hacker, oh well
slow and dim witted I am…word request Hackel
no you’re not leonard!
Chin up!
Congratulations to hs4mm and thereallybigj.
The title of the video on YT is now;
“Being one is cool!”
Marina cracks me up with those titles.
That was a tough question. Loved it.
And you look phenomenal today. Truly amazing.
I’m probably 2nd
I was and you are.
It was worth the loss of sleep.
Was I right? Let’s see.
