Yes what is with the glove?…foot-ball is capital developed for boys playing with others money…
Hows the world treating YA?…my random today and so be it 
Marina plays 4 quarters with her foot and then opens a can of worms…know the bull….what is the right [gLoVe]?
So, if the Quarterback is called like that because he stands 1/4 behind the line of scrimmage, why is the half back behind the full back??? Please answer.
I think you were talking to the IRS!
Of football words, the first that comes to mind is “[touchdown]“; which is synonymous for “successful reception” and for “successful landing.” I guess the [deep]est root-word would be [success].
And the extra-credit question? While I’m equally-sure it could also be ‘you and any [hunk] you choose’ (as well as pretty-much any super-hot [diva] and her choice of well-built [athlete]), the hotness on my mind ([middling] warmness compared to you) is Jessica Simpson—who chose Tony Romo, I guess.
Here’s a link for that Duck Hunt Dog for that ad in the upper right.

lmao. thanks for sharing the clip, but hey- don’t fall for it dude, she’ll suck you into her virtual girlfriend world where she’ll force you to eat teenage ninja turtle cereal and other sad stuff like rubbing your nose in poop on the carpet
I’m going to make a Super Bowl prediction. No, not on which team wins or loses, that would be too predictable. Intead I predict that this year’s 2009 Super Bowl will be the last Super Bowl game ever. When people avoid pretending to be surprised about what is going on in so-called hard economic times and decide to ween off the protected feeling they get when being entertained by televised sports games whilst they wash down greasy potato chips and buffalo wing fat with soda pop gastrointestinal gusto then my job here will be done. Until then, do enjoy the Super Super Bowl Game (cheers)
I can predict the score of the game before it begins…0to0…no points are scored before play starts. funny
what kind of game is it anyway?…as it is an all male played sport 
[predigest] 
What a prediction! You must be psychic leonard. Yet another excuse for me to act like a sexist pig, I love it…women don’t play football because they’re into bikini mud wrestling so check out those local papers for time and place- you’re sure to find the information you’re looking for in the personal want ads section
Got to hand the ball back…I quit
…how are ya doing with predictions for selling health care with the dopes of sports?
goaaaaaaaaalllllllll – now that’s the best football term
I’m talking about the real football,soccer as an american would call it
(couch sofa chesterfield) where to hang out while watching quarterback.
YAY its the weekend! (For me anyway!) I should be learning my script but… what the hell I only have 3 lines (maybe more soon
) So…. More commenting… Making videos… Oh, and I may have found a niche
Great James can’t wait to see what you have come up with. I hope it works for you.
Bye Guys gotta go look at vehicles, when Marina post the next video someone can take my first comment spot, this time.
I would like to request the word [tax] or [taxes]!
I am going to do mine tonight, so here’s hoping I don’t owe TOO much!
~ Jackie
hello marina watched your new video about football terms i`m curious about the football term [hash marks] and ive always wondered why they dont put the [hash marks] down the middle.i know it would be easier to kick a field goal.
can you investigate?

Why you shouldn’t want to marry your teacher!

You’ve got it all wrong, Chemikal, teachers are great because they make you keep on doing it until you get it right.
The Gorbinator
Gorby was strolling through the woods in search for some bones.
He finds some, and starts to chew on them happily, “Mmm…”.
But all of a sudden, a tiger appeared!
Gorby realized he couldn’t outrun, or overpower the wild beast, so he decided to outsmart it!
He turns his back, sits on his belly, and returns to chewing his bones.
Just before the tiger reached him, he said out loud: “Mmm… this tiger was delicious! I hope I find more soon…”
After hearing that, the gullible tiger ran like crazy.
A monkey that followed the entire scene from a nearby tree, decided it could suck up to the tiger by telling him the whole deceit.
Gorby saw the monkey running after the tiger to spill the beans, and was getting kind of scared!
The tiger was infuriated and told the monkey to jump on its back, so it could see first hand what he would do to the pup.
Gorby pretended like he didn’t see them coming, and again he said something to himself, out loud:
“What’s that monkey doing? I’ve been waiting half an hour for it to bring me another tiger, and it’s still not back!!!”
Translation and Adaptation,
Chemikal
The monkey did say “I’ll be back”
I’m still having amount of issues with my Internet. We downloaded a new patch to block out the intruder but to no joy. Apparetnly this person is going through a back door to the router. Maybe some software might have been install in an unsecured computer. I freaking hate windblows.
We contacted our provider and found that it would cost us about $160k to $190k to install fiber to the dock. I know for damn well it doesn’t cost that much. I guess they think since we own yachts we must all be a multi-millionaires. I guess they think Bill Gates lives on this dock. Funny, I understand this ploy for I did the same thing when I worked on the other side of the fence.
As I write this comment, the webpage still has not fully loaded. It’s been 42 minutes now. I’m not even sure if I hit the submit button if this will get through. This really sucks……
I can’t even watch the lesson’s anymore.. This truly sucks!
Have you investigated getting a satellite connection? In the UK you can get one with Sky TV so I’m sure there must be providers in the States too.
Edit: DIRECWAY Seattle Satellite Internet Technology
They don’t serve yachts. You need tracking systems. The ones that do cost about $1,200 a month. That’s for 512/64 speeds.
Jeeze! I knew it would be more expensive than ADSL but those are outrageous prices.
I guess they think that only businesses would want that service so they charge what they can get.
The name of the game is to get what people will pay for your products and services. You would not believe what companies charge for what they pay for a product. I’ve see 400% to 900% price mark ups. For people who have yachts they go even higher. I learned I could build one of these modems for about $400 bucks when they charge $2500. And thats with the exact same brand of parts at full retail.
I’m trying to tell people that hey.. do your homework and learn that big business are out for themselves.
Jack this is America, Their allowed to make a profit aren’t They? Buck up and pay up; don’t complain.
There is an ethical profit and a rip off. It’s like spam. If people would quit clicking on them they would go way..
Check this out Jack as long as your in port it should work for you much better than what your using now.

Are You using dial up?
Check into wireless internet, xanadoo and clearwire for if its just your computer. I use xanadoo it works well.
Fiber Optics are very expensive. My brother is an engineer with Embark our local phone company. He told me when fiber first came out onto the market it costs $40,000.00 per hour just to repair a cut fiber cable. That was about 15 years ago. I would think maybe it has come down in price some today. But we have companies here that come out and mark the places where the cables are under ground so they want get cut by trenchers or backhoes. If you goof and cut one then hopefully you have insurance to fix the fiber cable. I might be able to get you some fiber cable, but I don’t know if you could hook it up.
Just down the street they have fiber optic for $40 to $60 a month. But to run it to the docks and to my yacht they want even more…
Night all
Night John
Good “car” chase in LA earlier today.
Hey Marina,
I stopped by again,
just to wish you, TAKE IT EASY TODAY!
Marina another word request:[species]
90yr old wine sacks
Word request: [Anthropomorphism]
I would like to know where the words [queue] and [enqueue] came from.
thanks
You mean thank queue.
Nope it’s for [queueing] downloads… if that’s an actual word
Hey Marina! I love your videos. You make learning easy to listen to.
I would like to request the word [blockbuster] because I heard it recently and started wondering about it. Please and thank-you.
Thank you for researching quarterback for me! I really had no idea why the player was called that until now!
What is the origin of the word [love] and [ballet].
Back to my question about the Russian students, my ex-wife explained it to me as follows:
Russians are protective of their women, after centuries of defending the Motherland from Mongols, Teutonic Knights, Tatars, Napoleonic French, Nazis, and other riffraff. The Russian students on these pages see Marina as one of their own, and express this connection by writing to her in Russian. So if I reply to a comment written in Russian, I am trespassing on a sacred and mystical link between the writer, Marina, and the Motherland. This trespass triggers a reflexively hostile reaction that echoes the centuries of Russian battles against invading foreigners.
On the other hand, maybe they just want to clobber me for being a jerk, same as everyone else does.
Evan Owen, you are not a jerk. Russia is such a big nation that it gets lost in its mystical link between the sacred and all her wealth. I had an aunt that gave me two books: one about Christian Science and the other about Grigori Efimovitch Rasputin by Rene’ Fulop-Miller…”The Holy Devil”. She was “old school” lots of kisses and full of make-up, a beautician by trade…not bawdy but strange. Mary Baker Eddy and her movement is more than the press of the Monitor. [ PHILOLOGY request (free love)]…well she was the leader of the Mother Church.

Just to ease your mind – You being a jerk has absolutey nothing to do with why I want to clobber you.
I would like to request the word [cuckoo], as in a term for being crazy
Could the pink glove be hiding an owey?
I changed my decision about the woman marrying the football player… after doing some research… her real birth name is Gibbles Bumdooberberger.
I thought Russians wore wedding rings on the right hand, or maybe it was just on a different finger.
What ever the reason for the glove I hope your hand is fine.
In regards (guards) of football Football Sniper
What is the philolgy concerning rings on the fingers, other than the hazzard if you do real work. 
ya know working with machines that could catch ya ring…
You were talking about Gisele Bundchen who is reportedly engaged to Tom Brady, though I think she denied that.
Hello again!
I have a word request: [taboo]
Dear Marina could you put up some more podcasts?
Yours truly Super Fein
.
Hello Marina,
I spent some time trying to figure out why you are more exquisitely/radiantly beautiful in this video. Besides tightening your hair, the relative position of the camera and you is different (I suspect you are further away from the camera). I am not too clear about the role played by the V-shape of your dress in framing you, and the role played by the colors in this video. But, more fundamentally, there is also something different about your being itself — I have no words for that; somehow you appear much more confident, exquisite, and radiant here. (I am glad the roses are in the video and Gorby isn’t — thanks.)

Ahhh …. I miss Gorby.
ORIGIN OF THE WORD [SOLES]
The Carter Family – Wildwood Flower
True American Soul

ilikesexytime: Solely responsible for the solecistical flat sounding shoe, so be it with no soul. just jesting

unanswered question
P.S. the last couple of thumbnail photos have been sort of FUNNY looking?
I have noticed the past few thumbnails, also. Not only are the thumbnails very fun, but I think the overall mood throughout the vids has been very light. I really like the direction Lady M is taking with the vids, spontaneous, fun, frolicksome. This has been my perception of Lady M as a person, and I am happy to see this frivolousness shine through.
Hey Marina!!
Luving ur show, I’m learning loads. Anyways, I would love for you to investigate the origin/ meaning of the word [sublime], I know it’s not going to be a challenge for you.
Thx Eric
I was planing to bring up the NBA All Star Weekend (Feb 13-15, Fri-Sun) after the Super Bowl — since we could then use the observations of the response to Football-themed words — but am bring it up now so we can keep that in the back of our minds as the Football-theme continues.
Marina,,,,, you do loook nice today
and everyday
OK, Guys, before I log off for the night, it’s time to reveal the answer to Marina’s extra credit question and to why she’s wearing that glove – the person she was talking about is herself and the glove is to hide her new diamond engagement ring – there now, the cat is out of the bag.
I hope you’ll be very happy, Marina.
Good night.
Nice Bob! I guess the glove is on the correct hand! But no, sadly (happily?), not getting married
That means we still have a chance?
WE! Don’t you mean I still have a chance.
Marina, speaking of proposals, did you ever follow up on Monsieur Michael Blum’s offer? I note he still has his website up. Or is that too personal a question
And maybe one of you techies can answer why this message pops up when one goes to the site: “Do you want to allow this website to access your clipboard?” Sounds snoopy to me.
Hmm … NICE? Now just what does she mean by that?
It’s the most difficult multi-choice question I’ve ever had to answer – from the O.E.D. “nice” can mean:-
1. Foolish, stupid.
2. Wanton, lascivious.
3. Strange, rare.
4. Tender, delicate.
5. Affectedly coy, modest, shy.
6. Difficult to please or satisfy, fastidiously careful, precise or punctilious.
7. Requiring or involving great precision, accuracy or minuteness.
8. Not readily apprehended.
9. Slender, thin, trivial, unimportant.
10. Critical, needing tactful handling.
11. Finely discriminative.
12. Finely poised or adjusted.
13. Agreeable, delightful, attractive, kind, considerate, pleasant …
Ah! at last
As for you, Marina … sadly (?) not getting married … you don’t lack for suitors, maybe that’s the problem … embarrassment of choice? … Don’t leave it too long and get left on the shelf.
THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOOO MUCH MARINA!!
I almost murdered my family with excitement!!!
I LOVE YOU!!
YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY
The picture is near my bed and I will get my dad to put a nail in the wall tomorrow!!
THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
it’s BRILLIANT!!!!!!!

No bob it probably has something to do with a post made back at the wedding video.
1. ALL men see in only 16 colors
, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.
Mauve is a shade of purple and the glove is psychedelic purple.
So now we know that mauve is a shade of purple.
See Marina is a thorough teacher. OR an upset one?
I think i should shut up now.
Bundchen and Brady are not engaged yet, by Giselle’s admission. She has not yet received the ring. However, they have discussed the impending nuptials and will eventually become married.
Here’s a football term: “Illegal use of the hands”… which is what I think Marina qualifies for by using the single day-glow pink glove. Maybe, before she blinds someone, she should put that glove “in the pocket.”
Is she tickled pink? On the mauve? Fuchsia and far between?
Does anyone know where the name for the Nose-guard position comes from? and why they call a safety, “safety”?
What about the traditional bone for gorby?
Whats the origin of the word [thong]
Is there any chance we could coax Marina into wearing one during the video? You look good in everything, Marina. Honestly, you do.
[Flattery] gets us nowhere, doesn’t it?
How would we know if Marina was wearing one
There’s a thong in my heart.
I think you’re talking about Brady and his girlfriend, perhaps?
Here’s a word request:
“bunk” – meaning insincere talk.
“What Obama/McCain said was bunk.” What does insincere talk have to do with with bunk-beds and cabins?
WLIU, I think it’s a shortened form of bunkum. Now where that comes from, I don’t know.
I believe you are talking about tony romo another football word is field goal
Hi, Marina. I would like to know the origin of the word [SWAG]. I know it means free stuff, like the kind of goodies celebrities often receive at awards shows. Is it an acronym, like [SWAK - Sealed With A Kiss]?
Thanks!
Glove mystery is no mystery sometimes a receiver (football) will wear one glove to aid in catching the football.
{ albeit I have never seen a receiver wear a pink one }
I’m going to take a guess (which is probably wrong, but, oh well
) the one colored glove is a funny version of the oversized #1 fans wear to the game. Or a much better version of michael jackson 
I think Jessica simpson broke up with her football guy(?) that’s why she’s having tea w/Capman (or he’s delusional 
) Cannot think of any football terms at the moment. Probably cause I don’t pay attention (sorry, teacher)
You are talking with Obama! I just kiding! xoxo
Okay, Marina, I’ll bite! What’s with the single Fuchsia glove???
I’ll bet it was a (dare), or a colorful one-handed(of the left) use of glove for Gorby? Just guessing?
hmmm …
Homework: Did I miss “Pig Skin” for the football? Old term, but might make an interesting analysis.
Extra Credit: Was Gisele Buncdchen the person being talked about?
EXTRA CREDIT: Were you talking about Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush? (…or possibly Jessica Simpson and that other football player?)
Nah, I have Jessica Simpson here at my house for tea and crumpets.
Maybe a little touch football later. 
Could someone please post a comment on my latest video… I got a comment yesterday and I didnt get emailed
I just sent you one James. See if you get it.
Have you burnt your hand or something Marina? That pink glove is rather random.
That’s not pink. It’s Fuchsia.
Banned PETA Superbowl commercial Not for the squeamish, very graphic
The girls are gorgeous, but the slaughtering of the animals is like you said very graphic and disturbing. The cow was still alive when he cut it’s throat.
Pigs are really intelligent, they know where they are going when loaded on to a truck to the slaughter house. They fight and refuse to go up the ramp and must be electrically prodded.
Not exactly true. Pigs are intelligent, for animals, but they can’t tell the future. They resist being loaded for any purpose. They make a fuss when they are being moved to another pen to be fed. One does not need an electric prod to move them. They can be driven without it.
Not true my dad works at a slaughter house and they start to go crazy bout7 blocks away from the plant cause they can smell the blood and other animals can be the next in line to get killed and still not know whats goin on(cows)
I do know not about pigs, specifically. Animals, though they cannot predict the future, do often learn from past experiences. Many of us have experienced situations with the dog who does not want a bath. I swear that my dog (as I was groing up) knew what the word “vet” meant.
I can easily see how pigs would differntiate between a slaughterhouse truck and a mating pen. It could be something as simple as the smell of blood v pheremones. These animals pick up on sensory input that humans just cannot conceptualize.
I have learned to listen to my animals. My youngest daughter was not allowed to date a certain young man. When I first met her date, the young man seemed okay to me, but Millie (Australian Shepherd) took extreme exception to the house guest. Needless to say, a few months later I discovered some very unsavory information about my daughter’s ex-friend.
Animals know their shit.
Nice piece of propaganda. Let’s not forget that is what it is. I completely respect a person’s choice to not eat meat. But I don’t understand why PETA finds it necessary to push their ideals onto the world using bully type tactics. I like meat, I eat meat and I will continue to do so. That being said I did like the video …. Made me hungry – hehe. I wonder if vegetarians get hungry watching Veggie Tales?
Not sure how many of you were raised in a farm environment, but I was. And I am still active on my cousin’s farm, where I get my beef and pork.
You cannot bleed a mammal alive or the meat will be garbage. They must be killed without prior notice or they tense up and the meat is terrible. Not sure where PETA gets it’s footage, but they do have their own agenda.
I have seen MANY a pig head off to the butcher and have seen every step of the pork preparation. Cattle prods would be the worst way to load them. One panicked pig means a whole heard of panicked pigs. Yeah they are smart, very smart. Some times you can just call them and they happily climb up into the trailer. But most of the time you just coral them toward the trailer and they climb aboard. Pigs heading to the slaughter house don’t know the difference between it and the breeding pen, because they aren’t breed. Hormones ruin meat, so the pigs that become pork are neutered at a young age.
Steer and heifers don’t load up so easily, mostly because they are not as smart and much lazier. But if you get the dominate one moving the rest will follow. They dig heard mentality.
Cows (heifers that have been breed) don’t usually end up as meat, although they can become crap meat for your McBurger. Bulls are just mot eatable, and are mean as hell.
“Chicken has poo in it!” Does PETA know what these organic farms use for fertilizer? Or better yet, what mushrooms are grown in? Just to clarify, the answer to both is POO. Oh yeah, it’s not legal in the US, but some countries use human waste to grow produce – yummy!!!
I cannot argue with meat being messy. Slaughter houses are nasty and smell strongly of blood. A scent I do not care for at all. But it’s not a perfect world. But cooked just right, meat can be a near perfect meal
My sister’s cat (long since died) once got in a fight with another cat and suffered a wound on the side, requiring the injection of an antibiotic cream from a small tube (like toothpaste). We knew this would be painful, so after wrapping the cat in a towel, it was my job to hold Muffer down, despite expected energetic protestations. But Muffer did not struggle a bit. When the tube was inserted, his jaw quivered from the pain, but he just took it. This impressed me, because it meant Muffer knew we were trying to help.
(Now if it had been my cat Sweety Pie on the launch pad, she would have put on such a show of flying fur and claws that the range safety officer would have had no choice but to push the destruct button.)
Ruh-roh, Raggy! Edit function is SNAFU. It did not let me out at all. I had to close the browser and start up again.
Still angry with the name football for such sport
I have a request. It is actually a short phrase: [scantily clad].
The dictionary simply refers to the adjective “inadequately clothed” or “half-clothed”, but the following URL reveals a far more enticing meaning: http://www.google.com/search?um=1&rlz=1C1GGLS_enUS302US303&resnum=0&q=Scantily%20clad&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=iw
I confide that you will be able to give interesting insight on the elegant (or not?) expression that caused my favorite image search engine to filter out some results.
Homework:(too long for YouTube)

Audible(aka check off): changing the play by the quarterback at the line of scrimmage by calling out commands
Two-minute warning: an official’s timeout at the end of each half signaling two minutes remain in the half or the game to each team. Serves as an extra timeout for a trailing team managing the clock for their benefit
Hurry-Up Offense: an offensive method of calling plays to gain as much yardage while using as little time off the clock, the quarterback will often spike the football to stop the clock from running but sacrificing a down(aka intentional grounding which can be illegal if done when not standing between the offensive tackles to avoid the loss of yards)

WOW!!!!!!!!!!! TXeleven-are you a coach??
No. I’m not a coach, player or an official. I just watch too much football.
P.S. Post: a forward pass the quarterback throws down the center of the field as the intended receiver runs toward the goalpost
You left out Flag pattern: Like the post but the receiver runs towards the corner of the end zone.
And Flying wedge: which is illegal now, but it is when the receiving teams blockers inter link their arm and run up the field in a wedge formation with the ball carrier following in the middle of the wedge.
Thank you for the assist, what other players can not legally do to the ball carrier. I tried not to include any terms which apply to actions which have become illegal in the game and are not likely to be heard in the Super Bowl XLIII broadcast. For the roman numerically challenged people out there, XLIII equals 43.
None of what you wrote is: “out-of-bounds” either

Love you and your site. I have a phrase request. I resently heard the Phase

Yes, please investigate Mrs. Marina.
Why shoes?
Marina I bought one of these for my Border collie and she hasn’t chewed it up yet as it is made out of nylon fire hose material. It is safe for dogs and has a squeaker inside. This site also has other chewable tough toys.
http://tinyurl.com/cq9seb
That is what I need for my German Shepherd. He loves squeaky toys, but they last about 10 minutes with him. I tried some of the fancy-schmancy toys from Petco, and they lasted about twenty minutes.
I picked mine up at Walmart for big dogs. So you may can find one at a local pet shop or if you have a Walmart.
Have you forgotten where I work at night?
Yes I did. Wally world. Sorry Bob.
I am sorry, too.
I should be very grateful for the job. I try.
ps Just noticed the new gravatar. It looks like you should have an attachment to protect the Yoda ears.
Can you tell what it is, James just ask me about it?
Dear совершенная Марина Орлова, You posted a video after many of us had gone to sleep, again! (I probably wouldn’t sleep well after seeing your video, anyway.)
As you wanted, here are some other football terms:
Pass = tossing the football, usually placing spin n the ball to improve accuracy. A forward pass goes in the direction of the team’s progress. A backwards pass is called a lateral.
Lateral = also refers to throwing the football with an under hand motion from the quarterback to another back.
Block = to bump into an opposing player to prevent him from reaching your ball-carrier.
Tackle = to grab an opposing ball carrier and cause him to fall down.
Oogle = to excessively watch the beautiful cheerleaders on the sidelines.
Rejection = what happens after you ask a beautiful cheerleader for a date.
Worn out = what happens to you after a beautiful cheerleader accepts your invitation for a date. (They have the energy and stamina to dance long routines.)
The supermodel Giselle Bundchen is dating quarterback Tom Brady, and the movie star Jessica Simpson is dating quarterback Tony Romo.
The single glove on your left hand seems to be opposite to Michael Jackson, who wore a single glove on his right hand in some album from a quarter-century ago. Do you want to meet Michael? I don’t think he’d be as nice to you as many of your subscribers.
I plan to enjoy watching the Superbowl this Sunday, anyway! Do you plan to post a video then?

You better hurry and get that big HDTV for this weekend Seesixcm6. You want believe the difference it makes a picture look. You almost seem to be right there with them.
Hi, Lady Marina!
, blocker(?), kicker, special teams, hail mary pass, blitzkrieg (offense — comes from German military stragety when an army attacks from every possible direction all at once. Think “shock and awe”.), running back, strand… That’s about all I can think of at the moment.
Some other terms are: linebacker, fullback, tight end
Your eager pupil, Big Ed
Marina my Home Work was the email I sent you about the different words and definitions of foot ball and what a gridiron was.
What is that gravatar.?
It’s my leather fire helmet from when I was a fire fighter. It’s hard to get a good picture of it to show up on this site. I keep figuring something to make it look more like a helmet.
I do not think anyone has mentioned the “long snapper.”
Here Bob is your long snapper.
http://tinyurl.com/af4eg9
Somebody could loose a finger.
Or a hand, or a leg, or a child….
I have got near medium sized snappers and they are very aggressive. I don’t know how these people would even think of picking one up.
When I was a kid we would go down to the river for giant snapping turtles, we would have them bite the center of a broom stick handle and then carry the turtle on down to the local Chinese restaurant. The restaurant owner would then give us a few bucks for this turtle.
where did you catch that?
I didn’t, I Googled the image to pick at Bsomebody about his long snapper.
Good one. That reminded me of something my grandfather used to call me, [whippersnapper]. This prompted to look up the term. Ouch!
whip⋅per⋅snap⋅per
–noun
an unimportant but offensively presumptuous person, esp. a young one.
Origin:
1665–75; prob. b. earlier whipster and snippersnapper, similar in sense; see whip, snap, -er 1
Dictionary.com Unabridged
Based on the Random House Dictionary, © Random House, Inc. 2006.
You would also think it would have something to do with a whip snapping as a person is being flogged or just the cracking of the whip. I see at the end of your comment about the whip-snapper. Great suggestion Pig in a poke.
My dad, for some reason, used to call me “Charlie.” Perhaps, from Charlie Brown, I dunno. The disturbing part is that he spent two tours in ‘Nam.
You would also think it would have something to do with a whip snapping as a person is being flogged or just the cracking of the whip. Great suggestion Pig in a poke.
The traditional phrase is pig in a polk. (The meaning is that one should not buy something that one cannot examine.) What is the meaning of your nickname? I hope it’s not off-color.
Help, Teacher! The spelling of my name, [Pig-in-a-Poke], has been questioned.
I looked up the pig-in-a-polk phrase and discovered its reference by Thomas Tusser in 1580. Also, I could not find the Answer video for the game Don’t let the cat out of the bag.
Thank you for your reply, KampKohler. I thought of this name as a screen name as the phrase amused my dad. His uncle told him, “Why that’s like buying a pig in a poke.” My uncle was a farmer and I discovered that this is a commonly known phrase in rural communities and in England. I laughed too, as I had never heard this.
As a screen name it could consist of multiple entendres, each depending on one’s knowledge or perceptions. Since screen names hide one’s true identity, I thought it would be appropriate. The phrase refers to switching a cat for a pig when purchased in a bag or sack and giving rise to another phrase, “Don’t let the cat out of the bag.”
Definiton of Poke: noun, Chiefly Regional. A sack or a bag. [Middle English, from Old North French poque, poket, from Frankish pokka (unattested), bag.]
A Pig-in-a-Poke is
1) a police officer in plain clothes
2) a sausage in natural casings
3) a cat in a sack taking the place of a pig
4) a screen name to hide one’s identity
CK, where did you get that spelling of “polk”? I’ve never heard of it before and had to look it up in the O.E.D., which gives it only one meaning as a verb meaning to dance the polka.
The definition that pig-in-a-poke gave is familiar to me as the word “poke” is still in common use in Scottish dialect to refer to a bag, e.g. “Black puddin’, a poke a’ chips an’ a can a’ Irn Bru, please.”
I don’t know who the quarterback was, but I noticed somebody received some red roses. A quarterback sneak?
Was Superbowl the Sunday an error? Please delete this post if it was.

You tightened up your hair, Marina — looks good, especially in this athletic themed lesson.
I haven’t read anyone else’s explanation of the pink glove. A very short time ago, on YouTube, I head the song Pink Glove for the first time; The first few seconds of music are somewhat intriguing, but I don’t quite enjoy it overall. However, its lyrics expresses some very interesting ideas (added some editorial comments in square brackets):
You'd better watch what you're wearing
if you want him to come round and see you tonight
Uh uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh, uh uh uh
But he doesn't care what it looks like
just as long as it's pink and it's tight
It's what he likes
Uh uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh, uh uh uh
Ooh, so what should you do?
Should you stop being you? [not really]
Just to be how he wants you?
...
Ooh, he's got your heart
You've got his soul
You might as well know
...
... you'll never leave him
...
And now you've done it once
now he wants you to wear your pink glove all the time
Uh uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh, uh uh uh
Ooh, so what should you do?
Should you stop being you? [not really]
Just to be how he wants you?
...
Ooh, he's got your heart
You've got his soul
You might as well know
...
... you'll never leave him
...
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh you'll always be together
'cos he gets you up in lather [lather, not leather]
And you know what to wear at the end of the day
...
Yeah it's hard to believe that you'd go for that stuff
all those baby-doll nighties, synthetic fluff
Oh, it looks pretty good
Yeah, it fits you okay, yeah
Wear your pink glove babe
...
... you'll never leave him
–Hs4Mm

what was with the pink glove anyway?
Hi Marina
Thanks a lot for your lessons, you’re great!!!
well, I want to know the origin of the [ENGLISH] lenguage, some have told me that comes from the german and french, but I like to know where it comes from, thank you so much!!!! and God bless you teacher!!!!
Hello lightarchange00,
Plus English has borrowed a lot from Latin, Greek, and many other languages.
It may take awhile for Marina to get to your word request (she has a lot she’s working on) so here’s a little answer for a start:
English got its start when the Germanic Angles and Saxons invaded Britain around 450 AD. (The word [English] comes from Angle.) Then the Norman French conquered England in 1066. Gradually the old Anglo-Saxon and Norman French mixed together to form English. So we see a lot of words in English that are the same or almost the same as they are in German and French.
Of course it will be more fun to watch Marina give the history of English!
What is her name Gisille? She is going to marry Tom Brady from the Patriots–maybe. What is a touchback, does he stand near the full back?
The Great #19
Indianapolis Sucks
Football is a game where 22,000 ( or more with TV ) people, in desparate need of exercise watch 22 men in desparate need of rest.
I never understood why, when there are the beautiful cheerleaders jumping up and down on the sidelines, that 22 grown men can find nothing better to do than chase around each other and an old, dead pig. Something is wrong with the system.
Desprate need of rest huh?
Dude, you say that ‘cuz you ain’t seen rugby yet.
Rumour has it that football is a gentleman’s game played by ruffians and rugby is a ruffian’s game played by gentlemen.
I appreciate what you are saying; but I can’t get past the cheerleader thing.
I understand.
With the Superbowl, it’s more like 100 million people in need of exercise!
lol. It’s kind of like wrestling being a masculine sport…
They wear spandex
They constantly worry about their weight
They grope other men
There are no cheerleaders
See movie: The Ladies Man
What do you do for exercse? Has this already been mentioned elsewhere on the HFW site?
I understand where you’re coming from—the cheerleaders are the only reason I ever became interesed in football in the first place! And those sirens of the field will always be my main interest, they never get the proper attention from the camera man. Even when the game gets boring or there’s a time out. Plus they(the cheer squad) get more of my respect since they work for practically nothing monetarily.
My football words were listed a few lessons back when you asked via Twitter.
Marina,
Very Nice Roses.
I’ll bet you didn’t green thumb them.
Did Gorby munch the Tulips?
Other term: Cheap Shot,but I prefer soccer (futbol in argentina)
I´d like to request the word [Kamikaze]
Bye
[Kamikaze] is Japanese for “divine wind” (”viento divino” si Ud. prefiere.
) The term originated in 1281 when a [typhoon] devastated the Mongol navy of Kublai Khan when he was trying to invade Japan. The great windstorm passed into Japanese legend as the kamikaze, the divine wind that saved Japan from the Mongols, and of course later described the Japanese airplane pilots who staged the suicide attacks on American warships in World War II.
But of course it would be more fun to see Marina present this word.
Hitoshi-san or perhaps Bob could show us how to write this in Japanese.
Afterthought:
[banzai] and [bonsai]
かむかぜ
Methinks this looks more like japanese than klingon.
Thanks!
Thank you very much Evan.
I like an Argentine band that calls kamikaze, I suppose that it is a curious name for a band of rock.
Bye
Excuse the quick News Alert!!!
Marina has just pierced into the 1000 votes difference area of combined votes in the Sexy Geek contest. That means she is now only 1975 combined votes away from winner takes all. Marina is leading with 2032 UP votes, which is awesome.
Thank you to all of you who are continuing to vote!
Please continue to vote in the red dotted box above.
That just tickles me pink.
Aha, so that’s why the pink glove?
Another guess for the pink glove –
Breast Cancer awareness campaign?
Teacher –
Another fascinating lesson, even for me, who cares not for football… My question is this: What’s the deal with the pink glove?? A ladylike tip of the teacher’s cap to Michael Jackson??
And give Gorby a hug for me…
Gisele Bundchen(Brazil) and Tom Brady(California)!
Gisele is the highest paid model and earns four times that of Brady’s salary. Together they will earn $45 million annually… What can we say? Lucky them
yes, it is the BB engagement you were discussing: Bundchen-Brady…
thank goodness it’s only going to be a bb wedding and not a shotgun wedding…
other football terms: gridiron, tailback, pigskin, chop block, dime package, red zone
btw, don’t be sexist: refs are female as well as male. although scarce in football, female referees dominate my sport, volleyball…
Homework: I don’t know $#!7 about football. I would rather listen to fingernails scratch a chalkboard to watch a game. Don’t anyone ask me why I hate the sport. I could write a book about why it so wrong for the American people. Well I guess I flunked this homework assignment.
Oh for all you smart alecs, you see, I don’t know it all (yet). LOL
[smart alec] (1840s?) (1860s OED)
I don’t have a clue what the pink glove is all about. Maybe I should read the comments below and see if anyone has a good answer for why.
Ah come on Capt’n. Pink glove? So wrong? Fingernails scratching? Who cares! It’s football time!! Yeah! Go go go! Smash your way through the opponents! No mercy! Chaaaaarge! Chaaaaarge like a bull!! Erm… Like.. Like a ship of the line! Like Nelson’s HMS Victory cutting through the Franco-Spanish lines at Trafalgar!!
Pink glove? Where the heck did you see a pink glove? There ain’t no pink glove around!
I have only one eye, I have a right to be blind sometimes… I really do not see the signal! – Horatio Nelson
That reminds me about when Sammy Davis, Jr. got out of a speeding ticket in Las Vegas. Reportedly, he told the cop, “I have only one eye! Do you want me to watch the road or my speedometer?”
Yeah, like he could watch the road with one and the speedometer with the other!
Captain Jack,
It’s refreshing to see another macho dude who shares my feelings about football! I always tell my friends: “I feel the same way about spectator sports as I do about pornography: if I can’t participate, I’m not interested!”
(I confess, I did watch the Olympics!)
I agree, If I can’t play, then I’m not interested. To many people are armchair (insert activity). The thrill of beheading your opponent in combat is something you just have to experience. Oh wait. Maybe that’s better left for video games.
I do have a difference of opinion about your view of pornography. It can be a useful for learning more positions or locations. Yes, locations. I seen a vid of a couple doing multiple positions while suspended in climbing gear on the side of mountain. Looked like fun. I’ll have to add that to my list.

Hi Chemikal,
Thanks for the review lesson. Just goes to show that Marina can look just as alluring in a t-shirt as she does in the glamor dresses. But “mum’s the word.”
night guys
Good Morning!
4:25am. I’m bound for bed. Night night… Oh wait.. Morning morning. ….
Sorry, Marina, I have no knowledge and little interest in Football, American or Soccer, so here is a very tongue-in-cheek look at some Rugby terms.
Evan Owen should take particular note of “Try” and “Conversion”.
ROFLMAO.
On the Leicester Tigers website, doubtlessly written by an Englishman.
Let’s see what Max Boyce has to say. 
Oh, BTW Marina, with respect to the English:
[caster] [cester] [chester] in English place-names. (E.g. Worcester, Lancaster, Manchester.) What do these cities have to do with the Latin term for a fortified camp?
I’m back! Oh you didn’t know I missing?
For the passed 41 hours (nearly two days), I have had no internet access. Some one had hacked our router and is using it do run bit torrent (file sharing) software. This person had throttled most of bandwidth for their use. We think our efforts of eradicating him might have detoured him/her from returning. We are waiting for the router manufacture to send us firmware to close up the security hole that this person has discovered.
So if for some reason I don’t respond to your comments or emails, I’m not ignoring you, it might be because I’m having issues with my internet access.
Capt, I’ve had someone try to rig my router also.
I boosted security, by adding MAC filtering, along with the passwords that I already had. If you need some assistance in doing that, I’m right here.
To find out your computer’s MAC address, just open up Start->Run, type cmd.exe and press Enter, and then type in the Commander window: ipconfig /all
If that doesn’t solve your security problem, then call the police!
This is commercial equipment I’m using. Very high powered stuff. Also you assumed I’m using windows. I use a MAC. Not to be confused with MAC addressing.
No you shouldn’t call the police. They don’t have any tools or expertize for dealing with such problems.
Pop quiz! What federal department has the job of investigating cyber crimes?
lalala… http://www.fbi.gov/cyber/cysweep/cysweep1.htm
{whistling innocently}
Keep us updated on the problem, will you?
Incorrect.
FBI Cyber Investigations http://www.fbi.gov/cyberinvest/cyberhome.htm
I don’t know that much about the FBI… but I do know that they have more than 100 task forces ready to combat cyber crimes all around the world.
The FBI’s Cyber Division
The FBI’s reorganization of the last two years included the goal of making our cyber investigative resources more effective. In July 2002, the reorganization resulted in the creation of the FBI’s Cyber Division.
National Cyber Security Division”. U.S. Department of Homeland Security
What brand is the router? I know if you have a Cisco and pay the service fee in order to have the FW updated, they will throw in whatever memory upgrade is required to support the FW.
Syrens Max Pro. It’s a custom built box for the marine environment.
The correct answer is the Secret Service. Currently other departments have been created cyber divisions who take on the extra work load now that cyber crimes are on the increase. DHS is now the head department that all other federal agency’s network all their data to.
Did you use a router bit on his hull?
LOL very funny!!!
1st and ten, TOUCH DOWN , two minute warning,
so sorry i just got home from a night of drinking and I’m not at my 100% right now.
Marina, what exactly did you mean when you said “With YOUR kind of money you would think SHE would be able to get a…”
I’m sorry for suddenly being the critic here, but don’t you mean “With HER kind of money, … she would…” ?
If I’m wrong go ahead and tell me, I’m here to learn
she said with her kind of money (get head phones everything sounds much clearer)
I don’t understand the spirit of the tuck rule. It seems backasswards. What was the intention of creating such a rule? If the QB is tucking the ball away, then he isn’t in the act of passing. So, if he isn’t passing, he’s possessing the ball, and when a defensive player hits the ball out of his hands while he’s tucking, it naturally should be a fumble.
Theres a new pot plant on the table there …
Hello fatbuffalo,
Just a tip on American English: ["pot"] or ["pot plant"] is slang for “marijuana.” But a “potted” plant would refer to any plant in dirt in a pot.
ooh , pot of plant ?
It is not unknown for pot to be planted.
Are those new pillows? And roses!
And a Hot For Pink glove! 
Very refreshing. I do have a request; please bring back the “Intelligence is Sexy” theme. I think it’s an idea the world should take to heart.
I have a word request.
I would LOVE to know the origins of the words my mother always made me use.
The words are [Thank you/Thanks] and [Your welcome or just welcome].
Thanks a lot in advance.
-jeff

С оператором ты там разговаривала, который забыл придти на съемку
Marina, liamka’s comment illustrates an interesting trend in European languages: the formal form of address (вы in Russian, usted in Spanish, vous in French, chi in Welsh
) is disappearing or disfavored. Sort of the opposite of English, where the informal “thou” disappeared.
[thou][thy][thee][thine]
он идиот – убейте его
Marina, help! (Seeing as how you are best qualified to answer!)
I seem to be pissing off your Russian students to the point they want to kill me! (This is the second time this month!) I can’t imagine someone as jocular and congenial as myself being offensive!
Are death threats some curious Russian expression of endearment? 
Oh, I guess the logical followup question is: do YOU find me annoying?
Hey, Marina, while I’m at it, I have a joke for you:
Q: What do you call this:
?
A: ещё razz! Get it?
Wait — I think I just answered all my questions!!!
You should check to see if you are in the Wired race with only a down arrow.
You idiot can just talk to himself and to respond to the same. And you have time for that blank comment? – Go to work you idiot
The funny thing about the halfback and fullback is that the fullback sets at the position that is between the quarterback and halfback, so that he can be a leading blocker for the halfback.
Hey Marina,
What’s up with the one glove? It’s really hot
Your Student,
ThoughtOnFire
PS I really liked how there were multiple word explanations! You should do this more often
We are having a debate here about the Bible and the word [eunuch]. A friend of mine believes the word has it’s origins in the Greek language and that it means homosexual. Can you clear this up for us before we kill each other? Thanks
I would like to request the word [eunuch]
Hi Catrina
I’m not sure of the origins but a eunuch is a man who has been castrated, such as a monk or harem attendant. It cuts down on hanky panky while the sultan is away
high ranking officers in ancient China are often eunuchs , with exception of generals (duh)
So I guess you must be born a General; it would be hard to put it back if you get promoted.
You should definitely do a video request, I’d like to see that!
the hebrew word saris’ and the greek word eunou’khos, when used in a literal sense, to a human male who has been cstrated. In a broad sense the term also denoted any official assigned to duties in the court of the king. It was the custom of Eastern pagan nations to make eunuchs out of some of the children taken captive in war
Super Model Gisele Bund Chen is allegedly planning to Wednesday her boyfriend, blues quarterback Tom Brady.
Cacology perhaps…
I would like to request the word [elementary].
How about Touchdown, Safety (not the defensive safety), Touchback, or illegal procedure.
Extra credit: Are you talking about Romo and Simpson?
Why do they call a down a [down]?
It’s refreshing to think on these matters. I’m guessing the ball at the beginning of plays is positioned on the ground, or “down” for short. If the ball was filled with helium and floated in the air, maybe it would be called an “up”.
maybe a float or a Gorby
Imagine Gisele Bundchen doing a photo shoot in frilly white lingerie wearing a pink fingerless Vaso glove. That would make some guys faint.
Not really …. that doesn’t make me fai-
Her pix didn’t impress me. She’s not as pretty as M.
However, I wouldn’t kick her out of bed for writing checks.
When the game is in progress the ref blows a whistle and the teams have to get back to the line of scrimmage(scrimish) and be ready in position to resume play or a player/players could get penalized.
I think it is some Victoria Secret model… Gerfelda Nobrainski?
Football term… “the long bomb”
How about [huddle]? Not limited to football, but most often associated.
And I thought you were talking about Jessica Simpson.
I couldn’t come up with hike, snap, snapper. The fielder in position who hikes the football to the quarterback, a snapback. I think it was that hot pink glove that threw me off.
Tom Brady Engaged to Gisele Bundchen
Marina, if we send you flowers, will you accept them? They add a very nice touch to the room, I must say.
Just don’t forget to water them.
Gisele Bundchen is the answer, I believe.

gloveI’ve got $40 on the Pittsburgh Steelers to win the Super Bowl. I’m glad this lesson is the QB. Big Ben Roethlisburger is the man to lead the Steelers to win their 6th SB. I have his jersey.
The defence will score more than the offence & win it for the steelers by 1/2 time (hope I’m wrong about the, by 1/2 time thing), no money on it though.
Don’t you think Warner has a chance to be the Quarterback of destiny this year?
You’re right… nah!
maybe….we’ll wait and see. Don’t forget about last year
TOUCHDOWN !!!
wow , 1st time i commented that early , if only this lesson is a GTW game
A pink glove will hold the…you were talking about the Cardinals and soccer. Football is all about the injuries and gambling. Heads and tails, punt, you win. Crazy words. Peace out
Whats going on with the glove?
Do tell.
I thought you were going to bust out a Michael Jackson skit!
Hand In Glove ?
Marina, Superbowl the Sunday do you enjoy football the American style?
Yeah
What’s with the pink glove?
Pass, punt, lateral, line judge, back judge, defensive back, full back, I-back, nickel-back, Dime package, 4-3, 3-4, uprights, down, hail mary, so many more.
Go team!
GG PD, for being today’s firstback! (first from the back)
You know, like a football term.
