The cheerleaders
Congratz to the Steelers! Better luck next year Cards, it was an amazing game.
g-lanks: “Better luck next Cards…”, I request HotForWords to play some [cards]. A card can comb and is what sounds(card) a computer…ever so many more. Gambling sports risks injuries…a card.
I agree with hotrocky, sports are for children(who are athletically inclined) and overly competitive, lesser intelligent adults. Sure, there’s nothing wrong with a bunch of grown jocks getting together to play a pick-up game, but the pursuit of knowledge and/or the betterment of the human race is infinitely more important!Anyways, Lady Marina—you are the PINNACLE of academic (as well as[sounds repetitive, right?] human) evolution, hands down! It’s truly an honor and a privilege to be one of your students.
There is a lot of hate coming from that reply. Do you have some sort of scarring memory? Always picked last in dodgeball?
Sports are team games where you learn friendship, teamwork and hard work. Not to mention setting goals. Ken Dryden was an amazing goalie in the NHL and also got a degree in university. One must be sound in body and mind so why can’t you do both? I am sure that Marina stays physically active. Why is competition such a bad thing? Is that not what brings the best out of some people in sports AND academics? What are scholarships? And why would a scholarship be any different from a college draft?
It just seems to me like you have no right to post insults and then praise Marina. Focus your energy on being more intelligent and less ignorant.
Steelers Suck big shit. Redskins Rule but I will pull for the Cards since they used to be NFC East
The best team of course Pittsburgh Steelers
go cardinals. Typical steeler fan below
FUCK THE CARDINALS..WE ALL KNOW THAT STEELERS ARE GONNA TAKE IT ALL THE WAY ….AND WHO EVER SAID FOOTBALL ARE FOR PUSSYS THERE A LITTLE HYNA…THAT’S A REAL MAN SPORTS…
I’ll be bold enough to say that football is for pussies!
tell that to the Refrigerator, or the Bus…
Time-out…
What is a bold pussy? “pass the ball” in codes and organized health care from the press [propagated all weak] 
im rooting for you =) your breasts look really nice and [soft]
As soft as your brain?
This is how you talk to women?
It just occurred to me…
How does one posses two diplomas in the same field?
I’d like to know how to get two of my own in Computer Science, since I’m close to finishing up on my first. So how do I do that?
The only thing that would sound better would be Doctor of Science.
But I don’t plan on going that far, at least not yet. Maybe when I’ll be 40ish, now I just want to live my life more, and study less
OK but what mean Magedo Hill.And lett Hotforword explain it to me.
Good luck!
Armageddon comes from the Bible, it’s Hebraic word for “Megido Hill” or “Magedo Hill”.
BTW: ” LEG – one of a pair of matches played between the same opponents in a sports competition, which together form a single round (= stage) of the competition”. I still would like to know – why leg!? Maybe it’s easy for British, Americans etc., but English is not my native language and I don’t understand, why do you call a round like a leg.
Can pleas you tell me what armageddon mean and were it comes from.
Another great day! It’s absolutely short-sleeve weather. Blue sky, sun shining, 2 knots wind, birds twittering (they have Blackberries now, you know) and the USGC’s C-130 spooling up in the background over at McClellan. Gad, I feel sorry for youse guys huddled around a 40-watt bulb for survival.
Yeah, reeeeeeal sorry.
Can you tell me what armageddon mean and were it comes from.
kentucky’s state bird.
Nice!
Marina, you never cease to amaze me! Yes, nice indeed.
the question is, which pic does Marina consider “nice”?…
have you ever considered the possibility that she might be a lesbian? ;P
Ken tuck.y’s_STATE bird
[dodo]bird 
He he he he sweet.
hmmm…since i don’t remember seeing this in the vid, here’s the origin of cardinal:
now isn’t it interesting that a Cardinal is a door hinge?…
That which things hinge upon. I know.. I was going to get into it, but I am trying to keep my videos as short as possible. I’m trying to get them down to 10 seconds, but having a little difficulty! I might just speed them up to 500% and then we’ll be good!
Why
joking, John…joking…
Thank god, I don’t know what I’d do if Marina’s vids got that short
Although I enjoy seeing as much of you as possible you do look very good in short shorts.
PAOK RE MOUNIA !!!
hmmm…maybe she’ll dial that one in…
do mobile phones dial?…
PAOK is my team !
paokths kai esy eee????

PAOK pantou lemeeeeeee,kai ta mialla sto blender
hmmm…i was supposed to be replying to the nomophobia reply below…
oh, well…i didn’t understand that one, either…(-;
100
hallo Marina!!!!
The word is [nomophobia]
My teacher at my English lessons told this word but i can’t understand it
I wonder if you know the origin of this word???
thank you!!!
Good word axy!
I tend to get clingy to my phone as well, but I won’t call it nomophobia. A phobia implies that I should have an irrational fear of something, but I just get pissed, when my battery dies.
I don’t fear not having my phone around, so what does this word really mean? Huh, I hope she investigates your word soon
Still can’t log on to YT
I am not rooting for any team. It’s my sincere opinion that sports, with the possible exception of motorsports, is a silly waste of time and resources. The money, time and effort that’s wasted on grown men chasing balls around could have been used to find the cure for cancer and herpes and put a human on Mars. People spending millions on sports while children starve is an abomination.
They spend millions on entertainment…
Sports should just be a way to keep fit.
But when profit is involved, who cares about anything else? :/
If any human’s life is all about profit, I reckon they need to read some information from the prophets. All that money ain’t worth shit when you die. Even shit has a value: it’s good for growing tomatoes. If the Federal Reserve keeps on screwing around with the currency, maybe we won’t have to die for it be worthless. I’m beginning to think the human species well deserves a Darwin Award.
right on!!!hotrocky…[abom.i.nation]
LOL. I will go see a doctor about my condition. Must have been the alcholol controlling my mind to be so truthfull about Marina.
Love You Marina
Alcohol? That’s no excuse, sir.
See the doctor rightaway before
you go off, again, please
He temporarily had all his blood drained from his brain.
The man has a condition alright, the human condition.
Being a human can be so disgusting at times… lol
Were you trying to prove a point?
hey, i’m on my way to prove i’m a fucking genius.
hmmm…in response to your question, let’s just “macht nichts zu mir.”…
oh, errr … stress on “genius”, “fucking” as an adjective.
)
noodles.. that’s how you spell it, now stop, please!
stop it alex
fugit irreparibile tempus, deal with it!
yes. good.
mh. do you spell it like that? “noodles”?
oh, and noodles.
i bought garlic sauce earlier today.
lalalalala.
humm. 8:35.
tempus fugit!
oh, it’s 8:34 now. *gnarf*
yesterday, right, alex!…how is the climate? Domestic science seems to bring your id out. I’d, idealize ideally but, my identification became idolatrous. [idiot savant] peace out of my pie
you are cool alex 
that’d be 8:33 pm.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhh! it’s 20:33 already!
Now on IE6 still no video, no You Tube, but plenty of virus warnings.
The kids knew how mess up this browser was and never said anything.
Oh well, off to do some research.
Not sure what is going on,
Antivirus 360 asking for license update ($48.XX) not sure if it is a scam. Also IE6 sucks big time.
Hi Che Volay, I saw that too. At the Googles images site, almost all images showed a Google Warning page. It’s back to normal now. Looks like Google is doing some experiments, or the experiment went haywire.
Mozilla Seamonkey or FireFox is the way to go.

Don’t get me wrong. I don’t hate the Steelers for the Immaculate Reception. That was just one of those plays. It’s not hate. I’m just mildly ‘adverse’ to them… with respect, since they’ve been a great team over the years. Anyhow, I’m rooting for the Cards. Go Cardinals. Hey, if it was the Steelers versus the Broncos or Patriots, I’d easily root for the Steelers.
Could you please investigate where the word [jaywalking], as in crossing the street in the middle, not at an intersection, comes from? Thank you
Teacher is in the room.
Hey! where did the video go?
Just refreshed the page and it is still not there.
Strange, I see it fine…
Just a bright white square in place of the usual video lesson.
It’s like I’m snow blind
Something wrong with your browser… switch for a second to IE, or something else.
If you were snow blind (or any other kind of blind), you couldn’t see a white (or any other color) square.
Can’t even log on to YT as well.

Pop Quiz!
A bunch of guys who should really know better spend an hour pounding each other to near oblivion while chasing a bouncing oblate spheroid around on a field. At the end of the hour, the entropy of the universe has :
A) Increased.
B) Decreased.
C) Stayed the same.
D) This Pop Quiz is stupid, go away.
The answer is given on page 22.

page 22)
The answer to the question, setting aside various possible ontological objections and intrinsic ambiguity in the definition of “universe” is A). Yes, the conehead cabal does profess that the entropy of the putative “universe” is always increasing, independent of Superbowl(s) or outcome(s) thereof, Russian Bride ads, and words 99.9% of the population has never heard of! At least, this was the answer to the question when I took chem 101… it was the one repeating question on every exam which every student had the chance to get right!
ps RIP John Updike, wordsmith extraordinaire.
I had a lot of fun with this quiz, thanks for sharing!
You called the universe putative, and also put it in brackets.
That means you don’t believe the universe exists!
I have solid proof that the universe exists and is not putative!
It’s real I tell you!
Thanks, glad you liked it!
As I was scribbling this piece I was struck with a mini epiphany … I have no freakin’ clue what “universe” is supposed to mean and/or encompass (all of space-time? all of the purported 12 or 13 1/2 dimensions of string theory and reality itself?). The term “putative” here was used in the sense of “so-called” while referring to a simplified “classic universe” abstraction in the closed-universe sense the various physicists/cosmologists have historically liked to kick around while confusing both themselves and everybody around them with wild butt-pull theories. I dug the “bizarro universe” in Superman and the machine simulated universe in “The Matrix” … if we’re gonna get creative let the real creative genius types (comic book writers and screenwriters) take over please. 
What about the M.I.B. version of the universe?
They compared us with rats living in a locker of some higher being’s reality.
I like that idea, because reality is only what you can perceive!
Take dogs for example, they don’t know that colors exists, because they only see in back and white.
Just think of all the things that are out there, and we can’t see because we are limited by our human condition.
Or better yet, don’t think about it, because you probably won’t even understand it, while having nothing to go on but the idea of something invisible existing along us, but just outside of our grasp!
I remember a quote that was once on HFW: “There are no facts, only interpretations.” – Friedrich Nietzsche
I will go ahead and make an adaptation, you can quote me on it: “There is no reality, only perception.” – Chemikal
Yeah, but they do have x-ray vision – that’s why they don’t bother wearing any clothes.
Yeah, I like the MIB flavor universe also. The more creative and wild and bizarro it gets the better. I dug the bug quote near the end after failing to make off with the little mini-universe pendant from Orion’s belt… the bug wouldn’t concede defeat …. “YOU IDIOTS!!!…. I WON!!!”. El Laffo.
I also thought the universe animation at the closing of this movie was hyper-creative, if that be a proper word.
I like your quote! Hotforphilosophy is IN!
I choose D. No matter how hard they chase the ball, the energy expended (or any other aspect of the game) matters little to the universe as a whole. Even the proverbial butterfly on the other side of the earth will not say, “WTF was that?”
I spy existential philosophy!
Personality Classification vs. Answer :
A) Engineer or lucky guesser
B) Engineer….NOT! or bad guesser
C) Generalized Wishy-washy type, or “when-in-doubt-C” practitioner
D) Existentialist or generalized no-BS type person.
Behavior and humanisms is and are the forces of hate and love. I will steal from you if I am hungry; only because you taken the food I gave you.
Reasons will keep the seasons and build the store and not the hordings. peace out of pie(free cake) 
Love and Hate : fundamental to the evolution of the selfish gene, far more general in nature than “Homo Sapien” specific attributes. Without selfish hate the strong Lion does not keep the wimp Lion from reproducing his genes… in very short order there are too many wimpodite Lions running around, they are not strong enough to survive Nature and the Lions go extinct. Without maternal love the Mama bear does not protect her cubs from the hazards of Nature (including foremost Daddy Bear) and if the progeny do not survive with a high enough probability the result is the same, exit Bears stage left. (note football theme adhered to with Lions and Bears just to be consistent. Note also that both the Lions and Bears exited stage left this year
Food : fundamental necessary ingredient for survival of any species; strong genes fight for and win the food to survive into the future (win food + win mate = survive gene into future). Couple some bad aspects of human psyche on top and you start to get some nasty side effects like greed and hoarding. Intelligence might be sexy to some but it can also be vicious and cruel as all hell in competition for finite resources; potentially even self defeating if the negative side effects of high intelligence dominate to the point that it undermines the entire underlying force of gene propagation. If this happens Nature will just shrug and say whoops that was a bad mutation, and continue down some other path into the future minus that Homo putative “Sapien”. Food, money, power, land amount to the same drive force in selfish (gene) hate/greed driven competition for finite resources. No Free Cake in Nature! (with the unfortunate implication of No Peace either
)
I don’t mean by this commentary to give intelligence or the human pysche a bad rap across the board. Attributes of compassion and integrity are some of the positive aspects of humans which oppose the selfish forces. There are good and bad sides to almost everything.
andromeda(78.2.1.1.1February 2, 2009 at 8:17 pm): I like what you wrote(those numbers are new codes of the Republic of Lexicon, The Capital and hometown, Etymology) If bears and lions make you write; how about ravens and packers?…most likely all the same…saints and cowboys?…pirates and bosses
keep up the bright comments 
Hey y’all! Since we are focusing on the Super Bowl, and the ads are [front and center], an attraction in themselves, who here remembers what “blipverts” refers to?
Blipverts were a high-speed, high-intensity television commercial which caused the nervous systems of certain viewers to overload.
Blipvert is a portmanteau of the onomatopoeia blip, a brief sound, and advert, the British abbreviation for advertisement.
Thank you, Wikipedia!
Peace
you cheated…I wanted to see how many remembered the series that came up with it!
I know, I’m bad!
You can still test to see who remembers the series that came up with blipverts, because I didn’t mention it.

The transition at 0:36 is as follows:
In the above, the word Cardinals does double duty: it is the last word of the preceding sentence and the first word of the next sentence! One might argue that the preceding sentence ends with the word “born”, but I think the thought being expressed is “Hence, the team was named the Cardinals.” — and so the preceding sentence ends with the word Cardinals.
That is a quick transition. It makes me curious to see what the effect would be if transition were made slower as follows:
–Hs4Mm

huh
Good eye. Or is it ear?
Can’t wait to see her [Pom Poms]!

Haha… you’re so predictable!
Yeah…this is deja vu all over again.
You can be predictable, too. All you have to do is post, “69.1.”
Wow M.
Those roses are beautiful!
They are exactly Cardinal red, like the bird head on the helmet!
I did it marina, But i only got watch in high quality. I think I will buy and hd camcorder soon.
Hey James, 69 is up for the taking… if you hurry, it might be your comment
Hello HotForWords. My name is Bernardo, from Portugal. I wanted to know the origin of the word [dream], if you could. Bye bye my teacher, be good
bhtp1, what is [dream] in Portuguese?
[sueño] in Spanish; compare [somnolent]
Hey Evan. [dream] in portuguese is “sonho”. I guess if you said it in spanish, you would have to write it like this: “soño”. That’s how we say it, written in spanish.
American football, again?
Uuuh
Awesome quote! I have to agree…
My favorite soccer team is Dinamo Bucharest. That’s the only sport I call simply football.
When I studied COBOL, we called it the “language of writer’s cramp.”
COBOL cripples the mind? Its teaching should be regarded as a criminal offense?
Blimey! If this language is indeed such a lame piece of crap, this quote makes it more interesting! I never used COBOL before, but I think it might be quite a funny, mind-teasing and agreeable programming language to learn!
“I have tamed men of iron in my day, shall I not easily crush these men of butter?” – Ferdinand Álvarez De Toledo, Duke of Alba (1507 – 1582)
/*
Taming is one thing, and crushing, well that’s another story.
I suggest you learn something more worthwhile, like Java!
*/
Java you say? No no no. And no! 1,000 times NO!
I have decided to learn COBOL. Yes, COBOL it will be!
Sadomasochist!
Interesting…
Why do you think people who want to learn COBOL are sadomasochists?
Because it is the language of that vicious game football.
Chase
Obloid

Ahahaaaa! Yesssir! Yesss! I do believe enlightenment is finally coming through my thick leather skull, and sparks of knowledge are slowly imbibing my spongeous barbaric brain! I just hope it won’t saturate any time soon, as I feel a little wisdom-drunk right now. *hic*! Why, oh why am I such a moron?
Yes, it is quite obvious indeed. People who want to learn COBOL are sadomasochists because it is the language of that vicious game football.
Why didn’t I think of that before? I understand a lot more about COBOL and football now, thanks to you two. And I am going to plunge myself into Java books. Arrivederci bambini I will be busy like a bee! Chemikal, CampKohler, I do stand corrected, but fortunately I feel I am now walking on the right track, following you two folks on the highway of the wisemen.
I only need 3 more subscribers!
Okay, I’m in.
THANK YOU!!!
Congratulations James!

“MARINA SHOULD DO HER NEXT SHOW IN A CHEERLEADERS OUTFIT IN HONOR OF THE SUPERBOWL COPY AND PASTE THIS MESSAGE!!!!!”
Marina, do you even have a cheerleaders outfit? It seems like an unneeded expense, just for one video! I think you could substitute those red short-shorts ade the white tank top you use. A suggested cheer routine might be:
Hot, hot, hot for words.
Not just a computer nerd.
Word origins here are only just,
and they’re not focused on my bust!
Just kidding, seesixcm6
Do you think she worries about using an outfit only once? Isn’t that what she does almost every day?
Go Panthers!!!
Uh… never mind.
Always next year
and next year, and …
You had your chance when Brunell (#8) was quarterback.
I don’t even know what the Superbowl is
It’s an American thing.
Think something like six nations rugby 
… with an occasional nipple exposure.
That was the breast game ever
I would like to request the word [absinthe]
Have you ever drunk it before? I would like to but I hate liquorice
I liked this one..
My favourite team is Bayer 04 Leverkusen.
hey marina
i was wondering where the word [slip] came from, as in [permission slip]
cheers x
I want the Cardinals to win. The main reason is that as a Saints fan, I believe that every other team must attain success at some level before the Saints will. Besides, Arizona State University coeds are hot.
Well, they are in the desert.
Marina doll , this is Travis from Tulsa… and i just wanted you you to know that i will ALWAYS love you best wishes and thank you
You make my dick swell up real bad!
Try penicillin.
You did say bad, didn’t you?
Or a very cold shower
Then you should see a doctor.
We usually save remarks like that for YouTube.
Are you lost?
This is how you talk to women?
You need help…see a doctor
Mr KJohn50083, If you would please refrain from comments toward the host of this site like you are making.
We do have women and a younger crowd that are members here also. Thanks for understanding as we try to keep a cleaner site here than the comments made on the You Tube channel. Your presence here is greatly appreciated and we look forward to some great conversations with you and the other members who attend. 
Thanks,

must be from YouTube…
sheesh…hope that works for ya in the bar…
woah , big number comments thingy !!
Oh yeah , can you do the word [number] , or more specifically , [no.]
Number = no. ?
And how did number get to be abbreviated to no.? I think Nr. makes a lot more sense.
MARINA SHOULD DO HER NEXT SHOW IN A CHEERLEADERS OUTFIT IN HONOR OF THE SUPERBOWL COPY AND PASTE THIS MESSAGE!!!!!
No I don’t want to
I don’t know nothing about football , or even soccer ….
That means you know alot about them? (double negative?)
Owned, wonderful observation!
What if he were to say “I don’t know nothing about no football” Would that be correct?
Only if you live in the hills of West Virginia.
oh, please. *roll eyes*
Marina, Glad you do not endorse Shakespeare’s Viola in his Twelfth Night — she used a triple negative to say that no one except herself would ever own her heart — she would never fall in love: “Nor never none/Shall mistress of [my heart] be, save I alone,” Found the quote on the internet — I do not read Shakespeare.
ahh , sorry teacher
too much influence from songs i think
I don’t mind the Arizona Cardinals winning the SB but I have to root for my 2nd favorite team which is the Steelers. I have money on them also. As in baseball I don’t like the St. Louis Cardinals. Luckily they’re not my most hated baseball team. The cubs-cards are like the 2nd biggest rivalry in MLB.
Why don’t you get a Gravatar?
I wanted to but so far I have not figured out how to put photos online to put in a gravitar. Same with youtube.
It’s as simple as ABC.
A. Get an image. It could be something you grabbed anywhere, but it doesn’t have to be a photo. Make something in Paint like I did.
B. Go to gravatar.com, give them an E-mail address and select an image for that address. They allow you to browse your PC, so you don’t have to write down the path to the image.
C. There is no C, so really it’s as simple as AB.
C. Oh, wait, send me $10.
Hi Marina, Love these lessons i learn alot, but i havent been able to request a word, but now i got one for you
Often used after a command or Request ECT. the word/ Term [hurraa] like for example Team Bravo, escort suspect ect ect, then some soldiers Would say Hurraa, id love to know please Investigate
MARINA SHOULD DO HER NEXT SHOW IN“A WARDROBE MALFUNCTION”OUTFIT IN HONOR OF THE SUPERBOWL should you agree with this “re-enactment!”…. COPY AND PASTE THIS MESSAGE!!!!!
Hey, watch it.
Again, this is a “YouTube” remark.
Marina’s aim is to tantalize us while we learn, not to COMPLETELY distract us from the lesson.
hot-dog-lincoln… that’s actually a funny idea
That a girl, spice things up around here.
It’s way to quiet.
Ahhhh yes, the malfunction, I remember it like it
was yesterday when Marina did Naked.
That was funny!
It gives new meaning to the term, “2-pop.”
Is Gorby going to be the one who accidentally causes the malfunction.
Then her top would be doggone.
Good one.
that one would win the boobie prize, for sure…
Night folks
MARINA SHOULD DO HER NEXT SHOW IN A CHEERLEADERS OUTFIT IN HONOR OF THE SUPERBOWL COPY AND PASTE THIS MESSAGE!!!!!
I may not care about sports but I like this idea!
yay , me too !!
MARINA SHOULD DO HER NEXT SHOW IN A CHEERLEADERS OUTFIT IN HONOR OF THE SUPERBOWL COPY AND PASTE THIS MESSAGE!!!!!
…only if she does a cheer!
{reply posted by mistake}
Well, geeze, Evan, you could have thought up something clever so as not to waste a perfectly good reply:
PAGEDOLL, SHOW US HOW IT’S DONE!
MARINA SHOULD DO HER NEXT SHOW IN A DALLAS COWBOYS CHEERLEADERS OUTFIT IN HONOR OF THE SUPERBOWL COPY AND PASTE THIS MESSAGE!!!!!
You look ravishing in red, Marina! Though not Cardinals fans, we’ll be rooting for them for the sake of Kurt Warner. Mainly having the game on for the party and the advert$…
Good evening Marina,
I am going for the steelers. Who are you cheering for? Have a great weekend!!
MARINA SHOULD DO HER NEXT SHOW IN A CHEERLEADERS OUTFIT IN HONOR OF THE SUPERBOWL COPY AND PASTE THIS MESSAGE!!!!!
This seems popular on YouTube. Whose idea was it? Capman911’s?
I think Marina would look best in a Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader uniform. Wow! Those are sexy.
Marina, do you have a wager on the game sunday? Perhaps you could discuss the word [wager] this weekend.
I’m not a betting man, but I say Steelers 23-17.
As always, thank you for your consideration.
What about [cardinal numbers] vs [ordinal numbers]?
Very clever orion_ss1,
I like – and second the request.
Thank you
I agree. It was quite out of the ordinalary.
I take the Steelers, let Pitt take home that 6-pack
I got a question Doc,
why does the word Success have so many ‘C’s and so many ‘S’s what is the good word on this one??? why not Sucksess or even sukesess???
High Spirits??? What does it mean to be in high Spirits and why are they high and not at eye level, why spirits and not cardinals, why not heavy spirits, or even light spirited, why even spirits at all, why not high essence, or heavy liquored…. ………….. … . .
Shed some light on me Doc, she some light . . . . . . . . . . . . … . . .. .
Sincerely,
Murat Orhan Suleiman
As-salaam alaikum, Murat Orhan Suleiman, and I fear you will find no peace if you try to find the logic in English spelling.
Is Turkish phonetic? (My apologies if I’m wrong about your country.)
Hi Marina! You are looking as lovely as ever. As far as sports go, I [apparantly like many of your students] don’t really give a rat’s hairy hiney.
I dont play football or watch it.
Why do they call it pineapple. It doesn’t look like a pine tree or an apple.
Why hotdog. It doesnt look like a dog!
Why grapefruit. I doew not resemble a grape. Do you know Marina?
But a pineapple does resemble a pine cone.
The hotdog got its name from… But I will not tell you; I relish the thought that you will suffer from curiosity, because you just don’t meet mustard.
Not up to your usual standard, CK. You better take a hit of sarcasm and ketchup.
I guess we don’t have a lot of died-in-the-wool sports nuts here. I suppose I fit into that category, too. I will watch football to see how they execute the plays, but I really don’t care who wins unless it is a last-minute comeback. I like those.
Just so I know, Marina, what would be your penalty for “illegal use of hands?”
Yeah, I also noticed there are not many sports nuts here. Personally I am a Giants fan, but only watch a couple games a year. I’ll watch the Super Bowl, mostly for the commercials – hehe. I don’t care who wins, but I do hope is an exciting game.
Cardinals!!!!!

Hello Marina,
[This is an idea for a potential lesson concerning the birth (origin) not of a word but of a mind: water. I do not really know if a lesson can be created based on the following idea, but -- you are ingenious -- and so I would like to offer it for your consideration.]
The basis for the idea is a particular scene from the movie The Miracle Worker (1962 version). While a baby, Helen Keller (played Patty Duke) becomes deaf and is growing up to be unruly. Anne Sullivan (played by Anne Bancroft) is hired as a care taker. Anne does not want to merely care for Helen the way one would care for an animal — Anne actually wants to teach Helen to think. Helen learns to spell words through a sign language — but Helen treats words as a parrot would — just arbitrary sounds with no meaning/referents. Then one day, Helen finally understands that W-A-T-E-R means the liquid she feels flowing out of a hand-pump! There is a very dramatic scene in the movie that shows Helen grasping what W-A-T-E-R really means — that scene depicts the birth (origin) not of a word but of a mind.
Even if the scene cannot be used in a lesson, even if [water] is not a good word to explain on HFW, that movie is excellent to watch!
–Hs4Mm
.
Isn’t that what happens every time some woman’s water breaks?
That’s the birth of the body. One has to figure out how to use one’s mind on one’s own — many people spend their lives avoiding doing so.
MARINA SHOULD DO HER NEXT SHOW IN A CHEERLEADERS OUTFIT IN HONOR OF THE SUPERBOWL COPY AND PASTE THIS MESSAGE!!!!!
OK, this is getting spammy now
Spammy?
I wanna go back to Alabammy,
Back to the arms of my dear ol’ Mammy,
Her cookin’s lousy and her hands are clammy,
But what the hell, it’s home. …
Right on
Great video Marina. Had me glued to your every word. Loved the bloopers at the end.
I don’t have a favorite team, and I suppose I would be rooting for the perennial [underdog].
Now, interestingly, it is being reported that the Steelers are being favorited by 6.5 points, but the readers voting at the Baltimore Sun newspaper have the Cardinals in the lead with votes. Maybe there will be another major upset.
Speaking of votes, don’t forget to vote for Marina as Sexiest Geek in the dotted cardinal colored box at the top.
Are you from Baltimore?
Hi tayljim,
I know that you are from Maryland, but no, I’m not from Baltimore. I used to live in NJ and traveled through Maryland many a times on my way to Fla. Had a girlfriend in Maryland once and I read the Baltimore Sun online quite often.
I´d like to request the word: [police]
Chau!!!
Hello miguel haneck,
Even though Marina has not specifically done the word police, she has done the word Cop. Perhaps if time permits, she can include other law enforcement names such as Sheriff and so on.
If you haven’t seen the Cop video, it is a classic question and answer game. Excellent videos.
Bad cop – Game

It is about time that the Nashville Buckaroos win. I haven’t seen them win a Suberpowl yet! When I was younger, I rooted for the Chicago Blackdogs… but that was before that “in 1814 we took a little trip” song.
That’s “The Battle of New Orleans” by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band.
thank you
The Battle Of New Orleans (Johnny Horton)
Thanks,Evan. I’ve never seen [or heard] that version before. Pretty cool but I think I like the Dirt Band version better. Sorry I don’t have a link for it.
Hi Marina, I would like to request the word [Shekwasha]

Yeah, but what cheerleader outfit for which team?
Homework: San Francisco, of course
Hi, Marina.
I would like to know the origin of the word [caucasian] and if it has any relation with the Caucasus Mountains.
Thanks, bye.
[Кавказец], ещё раз.
Мы, это два!
I am an out cast. I don’t like foot ball. So I don’t care for either team.
Great video.
Don’t like the defeatest attitude Cap. Not from a T.A.
You don’t have to like football to enjoy the Superbowl – any other sport for that matter.
Competition at it’s highest level, in any discipline is riveting (even without monetary involvement). If that competition proves to be an equal struggle… forgetaboutit – very few things come close to achieving that level of entertainment.
If you’re a die hard fan, there’s a 50/50 chance whether or not you’ll have it identify or ruin your life (see Buffalo Fans). If you’re a fan of competition, which I think you are, you can take it or leave it.
If it’s a blowout – who cares. If it’s real close… INCREDIBLE
Give it a chance.
Trust me, I know what I’m talking about.
If I’m out of line, just give me a link that freezes my screen.
This dude is as serious as a burning building.
Burning Down The House
Ok I froze your Screen.
No I didn’t take you seriously. 
I guess I should have been more aware of how I commented. MY bad. 
Sometimes I speak before I think. 
Now if you talk Nascar then I’m right with you on that one. 
Mike, just tell ‘em what I do: “Spectator sports are like pornography: if I can’t participate, I’m not interested!”
Somebody’s got to hold the camera.
Homework: Steelers vs birds, huh?
hmmmm….
I bet that that one team wins.
Huh? Quid? Quomodo? Qvid? Football again?
ATTAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!
CHAAAAAAAAAAAARGE!!! CHAAAARGE!!!
SCRIMMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE!!!!!!!
MEEELEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
CRUUUUUUUUUUUSH’EM!!!
DESTROOOOOOOOOOOY!!!
SMAAAAAAAAAAASH’EM!!!
NO MEEEEEEEEERCYYY!!!!
But wot? Cardinals now? Huh? Little flying red birds? Really? Damnit Teacher! That’s a football team? Really? The oldest one? Erm.. Hold on. Easy now. We can’t charge into little birds like that. I guess there must be another way to catch’em. A little more wisdom and a touch of agility is needed.
Yeah, and all these years I thought the Cardinals were a baseball team from St.Louis…
ChaCha I don’t know if your kidding, but I thought they were a baseball team too. Goes to show how much I pay attention to sports.
Can you do the thing you did to make yourself muber 1 again?? I want to see what it will do to the numbers.
I just tried it. I think Marina fixed the problem, as I replied to hs4mm and it just went to his reply. It put 3 dots to the side.
The Football Cardinals were in St. Louis before Phoenix. Hawks were there too. And, that (expletive deleted) arch was the old river boat landing.
Well quite honestly Cha Cha,
I didn’t even know the Cardinals were a team at all before yesterday. Fortunately, today I am less ignorant and I know that the Cardinals are a football AND also a baseball team.
Hwk: Neither, I don’t care who wins any professional sporting event. Not to rain too hard, I mean if I’m watching I pull for one team over another usually and use to really love playing…But, Marina you’re wrong: when a team plays itself it’s called a scrimmage–Geez.
when two teams play each other its call a game a competition a contest
Huh
You know a scrimmage is team practice; a contest between 2 teams is a game
I am not a big fan of either team, but I hope the Cardinals win. They are due.
.
.
Hmmmmmmmm ….. if you [predict] one team will win out of two that would be fifty percent chance of being correct …..
So I will predict with one hundred percent (100%) [accuracy] that either one or the other team will win!
Steelers.
Homework: Cardinals!
Marina, The two teams were merged in1944 for a year; huh; sports trivia. Is there anything you can’t do well?
Cardinals if i watch it at all, Not much of a fan of pro football i much prefer college football better. Probably the west coast is going to support the Cardinals and the east coast the Steelers.
Your looking lovely as always Marina.
Dear совершенная Марина Орлова, Nice of you to post a video early, today, and you look grand in that cardinal red dress! Will you wear that dress again on Sunday?
Or, will you wear a dress that’s steel grey? 
It would be nice if the Cardinals would win on Sunday, because they’ve never been to a Superbowl, before. To bad Patrick Tillman, a former player for the Cardinals, didn’t live to see the day the Cardinals were in the Superbowl. I actually think the Steelers will win on Sunday, but we can’t be certain. They actually have to play well to win the game.
For the game, I’ll have vegetable soup, turkey sandwiches, carrot sticks, oranges, bananas, and even some blackberries! I hope you will enjoy the game, too!

I’m not exactly a football fan. Not exactly a fan of any sport so I never root for anyone. My dad runs a football and superbowl pool at work and puts me in a few boxes so I guess you could say I root for me to win.
If you keep making weird faces they will freeze that way.
LOL!!
I had to take off my jersey pullover today and work in shirt sleeves it was so warm. The high pressure squatting on us will keep it that way until the middle of next week. Sorry, but that’s just the way it is.
A glacier over a volcano.
Fire and Ice.
Nice!
Like single malt on the rocks.
Homework
I’m rooting for the Cardinals but if the Steelers win it won’t bother me. None of my favorite teams are in the Super Bowl! 
Neither are mine
Steelers
Steelers win & I win the pool
[super] just [super]
From Wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaime_Cardinal_Sin:
Jaime Cardinal Sin, also Jaime Lachica Cardinal Sin (August 31, 1928–June 21, 2005) (Chinese name: 辛海梅; 辛海棉 Xīn Hǎiméi; Xīn Hǎimián), was an archbishop of the Roman Catholic Church in the Philippines. He led the Archdiocese of Manila as its archbishop and was later made cardinal by Pope Paul VI…
His name should not be confused with “cardinal sin”, which is synonymous for the seven deadly sins, and it has also been the source of many jokes in the Philippines revolving around him such as “The greatest sin of all…Cardinal Sin” or “Welcome to the House of Sin” referring to his Church.
WOW
Go Cardinals
hmmmm 4th
3rd Again
red birds?…naw…steelers…
Looking beautiful, Marina!
(I don’t even know who is playing in the Super Bowl, let alone know who will win
)
Test.
