Greatest Potential on FUN PHOTOS & STUFF (440)

On dames, too much perfume makes a stench. The same goes for computer effects in films. Super-slow-mo to depict very quick movement is not all that interesting. Dodging bullets? *yawn* Real serious guys wearing leather overcoats? No thanks. The recent wave of movies have had good actors, good production values, so why are they usually lacking? The writing has been sub-standard. Is this related to the writer’s strike? Quien sabe? But one hopes that the money people behind big deal movies begin to recognize that they have to carve off a larger wedge of the budget pie for the writers, and lighten up on the computer stuff.
Matrix? “something that constitutes the place or point from which something else originates, takes form, or develops” which could explain the reproductive part of it…but trix…is a feminine noun in Latin. is there some sort of adult thing to do with that?!
I would like to request the word [Voodoo]
Thanks :]
Your videos are great by the way.
Marina, I haven’t been able to download your lessons through iTunes since late August. Nothing new has posted to iTunes since then. What’s going on?
Hi there. A friend and I were talking about skuba diving, so I wondered…Where does the word [skuba] or the phrase [skuba diving] come from?
Thanks
Scuba- self contained underwater breathing apparatus.[acronym]

Hmmm…I’ve been divorced and single for too long.
[ mad money ] I keep a stash of money for special occasions.
I heard on THE VIEW this past Friday
that it is called mad money because : You’re on
a date. You get mad. You need money to leave
and get home.
I always thought it had to do with satisfying, say, an impulsive shopping urge, but your explanation makes sense. Marina should inveterate… invertebrate… uh, find out for us.
Hi! I’m curious about [singularity] (good old math). Thanks!
Nice work, by the way. Me likes it!
ok, give in; matrix is the general word for mother, as in mater and pater.
trix is not common toy here in western europe.
Marina, [Granary] why is this word spelt without the “I” when the root word is grain?
I was in the grocery store a few hours ago and began to wonder where the term [soft drink] came from. Some claim that it dates back to the Prohibition Era, when these drinks were distinguished from “hard,” or alcoholic beverages, but Merriam Webster posts c. 1880 as the date of entry into the language.
OK, the Superbowl is over:

BTW, did I miss the announcement about “annual-change-your-avatar day?” I’ve been having to actually read names instead of scanning the pix for the usual suspects!
Evan exclaimed down there below:
“Hey watch the language, PK is German!”
Which part?
You are too funny.
The wisecrack about the mountain kraut.
I suppose I might also have taken offense; on Mom’s side, we have ancestors from Bavaria.
I wasn’t offended. I don’t get offended easily, except when I miss the next HotForWords video lesson.
Lucky you don’t have a long face.
Check out this video on offending someone with a long face. Too funny.
First time I saw someone with the guts to say it.
Yes Evan, I reckon you seem to have a certain hidden talent for yodeling.
Must be your Bavarian blood. Perchance you could yodel your next word request on youtube then?
Check mine out. Thats Skip right there.
I figure I’d make him a star for a little while, then go back to good ol’ Cindy.
huh ? gravatar changing ?
haven’t figured out how to get my very own avatar. and i thought i was a geek.
Have an image ready somewhere in your PC when you visit here.
it took a while, but i got my head around it, tnx
matrix.
from matris a female animal kept for breeding.
silly wabbit.
You should win randomly. I nominate you. Good answer dude
I don’t like going out into big cities, today I did. Ppl in CA forget how to drive when there is a little bit of rain.
Ppl just freak out because of a little precipitation.
Encountered someone who wanted to turn left from the right hand lane perpendicular across my path.
Someone on a mobile phone was upset because I tried to merge near his lane, since he was on the phone and not aware of his surroundings, he didn’t have a clue two major highways merged together.
My favorite is slowing down to turn left is not an OK for someone to pull out in front of you.
Much prefer to be in the country around cows than people.
People are a little more interesting to observe than cows. But cows have their charm too.
Cows only drive in a Gary Larson cartoon
No Bull. Driving Cows is a Mooving experience. Sometimes with a little horsing around. A day of working cattle can leave one in utter misery.
Did you know that cows that live in the mountains have shorter legs on one side than on the other. That’s so they want fall over when they walk around the mountain.
I heard that one about mountain krauts before. But never about mountain cows
Hey watch the language, PK is German!
Speaking as someone who grew up in the Ozarks, momma always made us face downhill when we could. Kept both legs about even and when we hit the flat land it kept us on our toes.
Whats up Mikey?
Hey,I thought you would like to see THIS. Crazy!

Here’s a little article I ran across about Twitter. So please everyone be careful out there.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/scienceandtechnology/technology/technologynews/4125632/Phishing-now-Twitter-is-under-attack.html
I suspect I picked up the Antivirus 360 from Twitter so when someone you don’t know ask to follow you don’t go clicking on any links.
I agree with you.
I’ve had people follow that I doubt were people. I’ve started checking follower’s profiles & if I don’t know them, let them follow for awhile. If they don’t leave & they interest me a little, I’ll follow.
The PimpyLaudry thing is funny & strange, they just “tweet” the “time & date” a load of laundry is done & nothing else. They follow nobody but have hundreds of followers. Oh, am I one… yep. Thinking of starting a betting site & taking bets on when the next load will be done
Some, suspicious people that I found following me, have had their accounts closed for “Suspicious activity” & such.
It’s hard to find any site that a person can trust 100% except maybe this one. I read some where that Word Press that M uses for this site and for the forums people are hacking them because they are an open source site. Like James was doing on here at one time.
If PimpyLaundry is Twitter art then that’s cool
Then again it may well be a code to let ppl know when the ‘drugs’ are ready
Maybe you could add your business on Twitter to let customers know when their cars are ready. Not bad makes sense.
http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/technology/2009/01/twitter-washing.html
i would like to know the meaning of the word hamburger and the word burgler thats all that i want
All I know is that having Marina around would definitely help put me in a reproductive mood.
Just learned something, here is a heads up, the oil change place went into my glove box and pilfered my personal info from my truck registration. I have been driving around with another person’s truck registration for the last six months.
The fuckers mixed up the registration card, imagine if I would have been stopped by the HWY Patrol, { lot of explaining to do }
Are they still in business? ’cause they “are” in another business that makes tax free $$ and won’t be around long.
So glad you responded, It was Jiffy Lube, They had no business to open my glove compartment.
Absolutely no business taking it out, especially for an “Oil Change”.
At our shop we sometimes have to check the registration, we are a govt’ approved, designated inspection facility, so we have to check that the #s match… vehicle to papers.
Personally I hate going through people’s stuff… sometimes it’s neccesary too, to get the wheels off. They have the wheel lock key hidden or can’t remember where they put it. LOL 1/2 the time people don’t even know that they need the wheel lock key. One guy threw his wife’s away, because it was rolling around & the noise bothered him… Charged large to chisel the lock nuts off… can’t remember if he or she paid, but made for an entertaining argument.
I’ve got the other ppls registration in my hand I need to find what is common between us.
Their plates expired in October my renewal in at the end of February, hence the discovery.
Even if there is nothing evil going on some stupid mother fucker can’t tell the difference between a white Chevy PU and a silver Ford PU.
Did you call them up and ask what they were doing in the glove compartment and why they are taking stuff out of vehicles?
And, if it is a franchise (vs. a company-owned operation), you can check with the head shed and find out if anything in their franchise agreement prevents them doing what they did. Also, have you contacted (perhaps through the DMV or even ask the cops to do it for you) the other party to let them know?
Just stir the waters as much as you can to make the shop’s owner regret they did it.
I just saying what if the guy whose registration I had was a wanted person, someone with a warrant. It would take some explaining.
Did you check? There is a market for “Good” registrations.
My son got his car broken into & thats what they wanted, The “registration papers”
Glad they didn’t find the” Pink Slip” I left it in the truck ( which you are not suppose to do ) because I needed the ‘Title’ to drive the truck into Mexico. I never took it out to put back into my safe.
Just goes to show you if you leave yourself vulnerable someone will take advantage of you.
{The world is full of low life mother fucking scum bags }
Che I had a truck I sold to a car lot and they only changed the top of the title out of my name but didn’t put it in their name as they said it would save on transfer fees if they sold it to some one else. 2 years later the DEA and SBI and local narcs came by the fire station and wanted to know if I still owned the truck. I said I didn’t that I had sold it about 2 or 3 years ago. Seems the car dealer sold it to some one else and they left it in my name. The truck was used to haul bails of pot out of fields that planes would fly over and drop. This was all verified by a few friends I knew and the Fire Chief that knew that I had sold the truck. So you might want to be cautious about you registration being changed like that.
I suspect Jiffy Lube sold my info and mobile phone number to telemarketers because I started to get telemarketer calls on my expired truck warranty. Usually I fudge my private mobile number but I may have been lazy this time.
I’m researching the name on the other ppls registration to see if they had their oil changed the same day.
I did the oil change in a nearby county while visiting with friends. The strange truck registration is from Santa Barbara County not by county.
Have you let the law know about the problem. So they can keep an eye on that Jiffy Lube. It’s know telling how many people they have done this to. I would report a stolen registration and report that was the last place you had your truck at to be serviced.
I just discovered it, six months later, I don’t live it that county. I guess I could call the BBB. I need to be 100% sure before I go accusing someone.
At least register a complaint with JiffyLube head office, I’m sure they don’t want their rep’ tarnished by bad franchise owners… maybe they don’t care, but they should.
Also the cops like to keep records of complaints (I hope) so that if they are doing an investigation on a crime ring, they have some more evidence. Sad to say, there is just so much of this stuff going on, that the legitimate businesses are the only ones suffering, having to make up for all the losses.
I don’t know about IL, but in CA, the DMV has a form to inform them of the sale independently of the registration papers. This gets the seller off the hook even if the buyer never does a thing (or does something crooked).
The DMV may have something here like that now, but I am leary of whom I sell my vehicles to. I make sure both the top and bottom are signed and sealed. But they could still put a fictitious plate on the vehicle and drive it with no insurance. Danged if you do and danged if you don’t. Oh well. Take care pal.
In CA it is the sellers responsibility to inform the DMV of the sale of the vehicle, as you well know there is a part you tear off from the transfer of owner papers.
im 19 and i still like trix
matrix would be the word!
By the way, it would be awesome if you could do a video about the word: [Moon]
-Steve
“Matrix” is the term. Archaic definition is another word for “womb”. Matrix comes from the word “matris” derived from “mater” or “mother”. It appears to be latin for an animal kept for reproduction. Of course, “Trix” are for kids, though I never liked them as a kid as they were not magically delicious.
Well, you are close to the magic # of 400. That’s 400 videos on YouTube! I think Marina is averaging up to 2 clips per week! By the time I’m done writing this she may have already passed that number! I have a word to submit that can describe this: [PROLIFIC] That’s my offering to the class.
{Right, I know the last time I was here I posted without thinking ahead and submitted some other STUPID idea. Again I apologize to the teacher and the class. IT WON’T HAPPEN AGAIN!!!! No if you’ll excuse me, I will put on my dunce cap and sit in the corner of the class. I also left a pile of shoes nearby. Feel free to throw them.}
Yes she can be quite prolific like a rabbit.
All right Chief!!! You recognize your mistakes? You apologize?
Now you talk like a big Kahuna!! Tell me about it! I don’t think it was a very big mistake because I personally don’t remember it or perhaps I never saw it. So I don’t think it was a very striking one per say.
No shoe throwing at you I say. But since you already have that dunce cap on, could you throw us a little dance on youtube? If you could sing a song while you’re at it too (perhaps while making your word request). That would be awesome I’m sure.
Er…………..I’m just starting the whole learning process of video making. It’s going to a little while before I have anything on the Tube. Oh, you don’t want to hear me sing! If there was a contest between William Hung and myself to see who was the worst singer, William Hung would lose!
Right, who put the “Kick Me” sign on my back!
Dude! If you don’t act stupid once in awhile, you’ll make the rest of us dunces feel bad!
Alright I’ll go with MATRIX seems to fit, you know, TRIX are for kids.
Marina,
Regarding your WTF tweet:
Aren’t dogs wonderful? Never a dull moment!
Always.
Sorry had too post this twice as i ran out of edit time.
After researching around i admit the common answer is “Matrix” and the phrase “not for adults” would be “Trix” a cereal marketed to mainly children. However as we can all see by your video our teacher as an example is no child and such an answer is an insult to her character so I propose an alternative answer.
“Plough” = ” Plough horse” = “an animal kept around for reproductive purposes” as opposed to being labeled a clotheshorse = something immature persons (grown ups) would probably be = “clotheshorse”
“ough” = a common response too a lighthearted insult used as an attention getter or as a term of endearment or acknowledgment too a perceived synchronicity of an idea or thought.
“not for adults” = too mispronounce words as it is related to your current occupation = plough horse = something common that’s been around for ages = plough constellation as attested too here in this following link.
http://tinyurl.com/aumyrq
Marina, you are quite the Plow horse when it comes to not mispronouncing words even though you present yourself as quite the clotheshorse.
I apologize for my poor usage of English; Teacher I am after all just a quite (dumb) Texan American.
Silly rabbit..
Tricks are for kids.
Hi James
I went and did it again = quite and I meant quiet!
The answer is MATRIX, Trix is only 4 KIDS
voila, THANX c’ ya
HAHAHAHAHA !!!!!!!

Matrix
I’ve come up with my own idea than that is better than this odd Matrix/Trix parody.
That was a pretty good find. Like I said it before you can find anything on YT.
Man I’m always late for these GTW Games. I’m suffering from major insomnia and my matress is no longer comfortable to sleep on. And I always wake up in the afternoon.
I guess I’m going to have to go with MATRIX.
Marina,
The answer is “Matrix.” Trix are for kids- I remember that slogan growing up in the 80’s; I can’t believe they still use it.
Ques: Does Hugh Hefner’s preference for white blondes make him a racist? Or how about a guy who likes “asian” women (usually means East Asian)? And, if this guy is not “asian,” does that make him prejudiced against his own race? I suppose it does…
No… ! if he likes blondes thats fine!! What about others like pygmies dwarfs people with illness. Is that being racist sizeist and illnessist?
zzz , it feels a lot like buying lottery
MATRIX
tricks are for kis
“The Matrix is a system and that system is our enemy. When you are inside it, you look around and what do you see? Businessmen, Teachers, Carpenters,the very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, those people are a part of that system, and that makes them our enemies. You have to understand that most of these people are not ready to be unplugged, and many are so hopelessly dependent on the sytem, they will fight to protect it.”
Matrix!
Hey Marina by some slime chance I win could you get me one of these Hats to cover my short hair cut. Don’t get me wrong I like Aretha Franklin, but the hat.
Hmmmm 
Capman911, that’s a fashionable hat. When I was stationed in Ft. Gordon, GA, I learned to wear a hat when off-duty. But the hat of choice was a “Stetson” style cowboy hat. We needed the shade it provided. I still have my cowboy hat and use it during the summer.
Hey Seesixcm6, I have one too that I wear when I cut grass. It’s not a Stetson,
but it keeps the sun off my head so I want burn my bald spot. 
There is even talk that a museum wants to add her hat to their collection.
Giant bandana
Wow… looks like someone received a singer’s skull for Xmas. All I see is a big bow.
Marina can we go by when you are going to upload a new video. Now that YT and redone it’s thing again?
Matrix
how did [retard] originate?
Well, it was a slow process… and the originator was being held back from making it public.
Good question
I dont know how it can be matrix. A matrix is not an animal
Origin:
1325–75; ME matris, matrix < L mātrix female animal kept for breeding (LL: register, orig. of such beasts), parent stem (of plants), deriv. of māter mother….

This one was “tricky”
and clever. No latin mavin + no letter clues = no chance for me. 
The potential problem-solving capability of a diverse/distributed group is intriguing. (Group again came through seemingly swimmingly on this one once again for example). For answering knowledge-based questions I think the diverse/distributed group is extremely powerful but for solving a general problem I am not sure there is a large benefit… “amping up” a general problem solving capability I think a much tougher problem (though still interesting to ponder the potentiality … maybe that will be the basis of the next stage in evolution, some kind of distributed interconnected hyper-intelligent conglomeration of man/machine cyberminds… whoops did I just say “Borg” ohhhhhh nooooooo mr bill!
uh oh right. was that a semi intellectual thing.
yet i go with you in the fascinating answer-barfing here.
somehow i refuse to chime in the ” matrix” thing as i dont fully understand it. never seen a picture of that animal – for instance.
faux pas = not as lucky as a rabbit’s foot
Grand prix = price after taxes
Sacré bleu = uncomfortable state brought on by having your genitals overstimulated without release
Well, my coffee break is over = Café au lait
Je ne sais quoi = I’m not telling you what it is.
Au naturelle = Rain or well water.
Aide-de-camp = Hey! Buzz off.

Did anyone notice that in the video above, Marina
was only talking to me?
She said; “Hello My Dear Student”, as in singular student. She didn’t say students. So, since I’m the only one here, she was just talking to me.
I’m going with MATRIX as the word.
no connection to the video
did you know
Marina Orlova…
Orlová is a town in Moravian-Silesian Region, Czech Republic
i wonder dos Marina has a meaning too?
wall one i know for [Marina] is a boat harbor.
Hi bar666xp,
Are you Czech? I’m a fan of Alexander Dubcek and Vaclav Havel.
Speaking of Czech, let’s request [robot]!
I’m Israeli if it matter.
don’t know if it will be right to ask for a Polish/Russian word [Yagoda] not sure about the spelling i know it mean in English [blueberry] another word i don’t recall there was a vid about.
robot come from the Czech “Robota” that mean slavery dos it not?
oh btw…
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karel_%C4%8Capek
i think it was used first in one of his plays R.U.R. (Rossum’s Universal Robots) in 1921.
p.s. i’m dyslectic and English is not my narrative language (mother tongue).
and well must words i know i Russian i’ll not repeat here
Wow, even Marina’s Tweets make the news, in the LA Times Tech blog that is.
Everyone is talking about the YT Popularity default page. Marina tweeted about it and the LA Times Technology blog quoted her. Here is the LA Times blog.
Here is a quote from the article:
SxePhil’s added some input to the article, regarding viewer’s attention span, which although being critical to the Popular category, has been an element for counting views for some time. That is, if one watches a 3 min video for 10 seconds, and then leaves, that video view is not counted as a view.
There are some very interesting comments below that article.
On YouTube, ‘popular’ no longer means the
thing everyone’s watching [UPDATED]

Chicago is up on the twitter [phenomenalism] also. ATTENTION span(FAN)…winter snooze is news…thanks Karl of pedantic
Matrix is the word.
yeah, it’ pretty sure:…. Matrix
duh, catasrophe does not come from apostrophe or any cat u said me xD
duh, catasrophy does not come from apostrophy or any cat u said me xD
The answer is: Matrix
Is Feline a plausible answer ?
line(s) are a punishment for kids …
I’m the same as Bob in this case. I was also stumped, and (because of the clever students) will go with ‘matrix’.
I never would have figured that out, because I have never had a Twix or ever really hear of Twix in australia
Word Request/s : [Synchronize] , [Alphabet] , [Epic] and [Ghetto].
I apologize for the multiple requests mentioned. Just thought I’d type them before I forget to ask about them
Kaibanator, some cool requests. Do they grow [rhubarb] down in Oz? If rhubarb is frosted by nature, it may be toxic. Check out the word master—ster is pig feed, i think in old latin?
Thanks for the quick reply
Yeah I’m pretty sure that rhubarb is grown in Australia. I’m not too worried about the climate though, as where I live, it’s basically hot all through the year, even winter
[Synchronize] , [Alphabet] , [Epic] and [Ghetto].
LoL 3 are greek Ghetto is French i think
Syncronise = Sync + chronize (greek syn + xronizw)
Alphabet = Alpha + beta
Epic = Epic comes from the greek word epos which means something like a big poet writing about wars. Odyssea is one epos
Thanks for the quick reply
I thought that Alphabet would have some greek origin. I wasn’t so sure about the others.
well i am sure about all cuz i am greek
nice
cool
καλημηρα dagd (I hope I spelled “good morning” right)
[ghetto] is Italian. It used to refer to the sections of Italian and other European cities to which Jews were confined. In America, it came to mean poor all-negro inner city neighborhoods.
[αλφα βετα]
BTW, I spotted [χρονος] ([chronos]) in a Hebrew word, “zikhronotai,” meaning “memoirs” — obviously borrowed from Greek.
its spelled καλημέρα not καλημήρα. Something more,almost all medical words come from greek language!!
Trix Cereal is well known here in the US. The slogan for the cereal is “Trix is for Kids”. It’s a fruity tasting cereal.

Completely stumped!
Looking at the answers below, I’m convinced by “Matrix” but I would never have got it myself in an aeon of blue moons (to mix metaphors).
Hmm … Trix may be for kids but Twix are for Munchies.

Hello Leonard,
School is good, but keeps me very busy. This is my last semester, but I also have a comprehensive exam over all of my coursework in June… an 8 hour written exam, oy!
I like ruse too… and rue, as in, “You’ll rue the day that you crossed me!” We just don’t hear enough of these charming old-timey expressions.
How have things been going here on HFW since the holidays? Did everyone get the President that they wanted?

rabbit – ra = bbit
or
matrix – ma = trix
I’m tired …..
I believe the word is matrix…
Doing like twitter, with their 140 character limit… 1500 LOL
What’s with the stars in the upper left now? does clicking there mean anything, or is that just something else to take up room in the wide screen… can’t have any clean spaces, can we?
Hi BillyB, the white letters and stars in the upper left of the video is the YouTube Title and the YouTube ratings. Notice that the YT title is different than here.
The stars show the YT ratings which is now 5 stars.
I go over to YT and watch the video there as well
and also rate all of the HotForWords videos.
makes sense…is that considered “up-grading”…[speedometer]
I think it’s vagina. It’s not 2 far away from 2 special Saturdays excluding this Saturday.
Take away two letters & you end up with “Gina”??
I don’t get what your getting at though on “saturdays”?
Gina is a good name for one. What I mean is Valentine’s Day is next Saturday. A perfect day to spend with our loved ones and a week after that it’s not just I’ll turn 31(I’m getting old!), It’s me and my gf’s 4th anniversary of dating.
Thanks for the reminder about Valentines day.
Well here’s an early “Happy birthday & anniversary”.
I was told that the best way to remember my wife’s birthday is… to forget it once.
And he thinks 31 is old. He’s got a long way to go.
You’re absolutely correct capman911. I have a long way 2 go! Cheers!
I know in the movie “The Matrix” the viewers are asked to search their own souls to figure out what the diffence is between reality & a parallel reality. (probably why I fell asleep)
Anyways this looks so fake that it could be reality… Politicians don’t respond in interviews like this, do they?
Matrix is word!
Gorby are so cute like you!
matrix
by the way hotforwords, you are incredibly beautiful and smart, you’re my dream woman
Is it Rabbit?
Sam dude 123
The “Rabbit Matrix” is the definition of a future/past? reality where the Duracell Bunny has been awoken from a “machine dream”.
He/She was liberated by an army of rabbits – some having been born in the free world and Others just like the Rabbit, who were also rescued from a life in service of the machines.
Rabbits who were born into the “Matrix”, cultivated and bred by the machines to provide them with power measurable in the form of British Thermal Units.
[EVOLUTION]
Wait, what’s the voltage of a rabbit?
.
.
Male or female?
Silly Rabbits, trix are for kids and even though your [parents] might not approve, I’ll be back in 10 to explain why – or not.
Hmmm…take away “b” and “i” from “rabbit,” you can re-arrange the remaining letters to spell “brat.” Being a “brat” is not for adults…though I guess I often am one, anyway!
.
.
Hmmmmmmmm …..
Have you never watched like Phil Helmuth or John McEnroe, etc, etc playing their games LOL!
Not that you don’t have enough on your mind, Marina, but before I forget…
[BAD ACTOR]
…as used to describe a criminal, terrorist, etc. Thanks.
Always.
The word is “matrix”, love.
MATRIX
Congrats on being #16 all-time on YouTube! You deserve it.
To say Trix is “not for adults” is stretching things. Say it is matrix. Then we should be able to verify a common-sense link to the word for “an animal kept for reproductive purposes” using resources available to us. If it requires some weird book that only Marina has, that’s not a good game in my opinion. I guess I will have to wait and see.
PS: Did you notice the char. limit has been bumped to 1500?
The Oxford English Dictionary is not a weird book – it should be on the bookshelf of every English speaker who should read one page every night before bed.
We should be able to use it freely on the internet without having to pay a subscription.
I paid $75.00 for a used OED.

Yea if one don’t know the other one will. There are some very smart members on here.

GTW XIV: rabbit?
I am worried about the teacher’s dear pet. Little Gorby seems to be taking quite a wild swing in this video, looks like he’s all numb and tingling after he lands on her left arm.
Must be all that fuzz he’s eating in those stuffed toys he is chewing to pieces. They come from China and loaded full of deadly chemicals.
I’m still going with HORSEY even if be that the first two letters of the puzzle are those letters which are designated to be removed because that still leaves RSEY. Now look up rSey and you’ll find out that’s a mutant rat which possibly stands for a genetic mutant strain (counterpart) of “sey mouse”. Kids have rats and mice and gerbils for pets, adults usually don’t unless they are goth chicks who are into freaky stuff, etc. Then there’s the genetic implications about how adults shouldn’t be messing around with dna and breeding animals for mutation experiments and certain things that are questionable in the area of genetics.
Matrix
matrix
trix are for kids
HORSEY is 6 letters and fits the requirements of the puzzle. If you take
“R” & “Y” off of HORSEY you get HOSE. When adults hose things up it’s bad, in some instances even punishable by the law. Kids are adolescent until they reach adult age they won’t be punished under laws that adults have to face and kids like to play outside with the waterhose when it’s hot outside.
If you’ll look at the parts of the letters she takes away it’s the first two letters. It shows it in the video when she says take away two letters look in the first two boxes and it says take away. Maybe this will help you some.
Yep, I see what you mean. The answer could go either way.
That’s like a day at the racetrack. Never count out the longshot. Somone could ca$h in bigtime
Equestrians obtain some of the finest horses at these stud farms where studhorses are housed for breeding purposes. Take two letters off HORSEY and you get ORSE, hmmm, maybe I better re-think this
Now ya’ll have me thinking it’s matrix…
wait….it could be matrix
yes i know it!@ its rabbit@!
Who knows what happen to watch-movies.net? It is now off line.
I had to switch over to http://filmhill.com/ because of watch-movies going off line. Same kind of set up and movie load as the other site.
MATRIX, because TRIX are for kids…
This word origin entry (from an online dictionary) confirms it:
.
.
…silly rabbit
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 33.1
.
bbbbbbbbbbbbb but she said it was “hard” ….. that’s just too easy …..
.
.
Well “tough” then instead of “hard” …..
Although matrix seems to fill the clues,
I’m going out on a limb with the following two:
1. A female is kept around for reproductive purposes, but then take away two letters which doesn’t make sense.
2. A gamete (wife in ancient Greek) or animal used for reproduction. Take away two letter at the end, despite video’s indication of two letters in the front and you get “game”, not for adults.
Keep in mind, I’m always wrong on these things.
matrix. Another good hint would have been about the movie. As everyone knows, trix are for kids unless you’re in Vegas. That’s a nice dress. You look like you’re ready for a night at the opera or an expensive restaurant or both. When you said for reproductive purposes, my first thought was a rabbit since they used to use them for pregnancy tests. I believe that’s where the expression “the rabbit died” comes from.
Going with rabbit.
The secret hint.
You pull a rabbit out of your hat.
Well Marina pulled a Gorby out of her …..
Thanks for including Gorby. Next to Snoopy, he is the coolest dog ever! Hmmmm …. I guess Gorby has the edge, since Snoopy isn’t a real dog. I wonder if Gorby can fly a dog house and battle the Red Baron.
HEADS UP! Catch!
Dude!!! That was awesome. Thanks for the link. I really should spend more time on YouTube. Guess I am not geek enough. Note to self … be more geeky – lol.
Outstanding!
I suppose mother was kept at home, “womb of thy Jesus” and we know that “trix”s are for silly playboy bunnies—soul the six letters bates and ensnares matrix
An animal kept for reproduction? I hope its not about sheep…but then again Marina says, “reproductive purposes”…a horse and a mule is a jackass…can’t be, a bee hive or whatever…no, no—broode…On the farm we kept the master pure-bred Guernsey bull to breed the dam…womba…belly===and its [EASY], back to my stu.dio
eggs in a nest, springs chicks from heat===i need a water drink 
Cow gives birth to a dude the mother womb=matrix
I’ll say RABBIT.
…(you say po-TAH-to)…
You guys thought I was confused. I’m just so smart that I cannot remember everything I know.
Oh you have CRS also.
fishes are for adults to eat. Take away two letters, shes are for growed up mens.
matrix…that was tough one.
The word is ‘Rummy’ because the Google ads are selling Rummy Games, take away two letters and you get RUM.
Rum is for pirates not for kids.
What do the kid pirates get?
They get to be Cabin Boy
The brain pain strikes again!
incubater=rooster=bullys=capon, stud, fruit flies
I’m lost on the farm……OK..the answer [MASTER]
I am going to give two answers:
1) If the clue is “…not…” (thx, Che) then I will say matrix. Matrix also means womb, for reprduction, and trix are for kids.
2) If the clue is “…note…” then I will say rabbit. The rabbits were used as an early pregnancy test and they were also bred. BBIT means Be Back In Ten [minutes].I asked for advice, Che gave it to me; I will trust Che and go with MATRIX.
That is my final answer.
“You just won $200 in the Cash Cab”
I will just apply that to my debt on Che’s PayPay account and bank the rest for future Lady M interventions.
psst, I passed you a note, (not not) look belowThis word question is familiar, either I’m having deja vu or I heard this question on Cash Cab.
Here is an alternate answer: In cartoons, animals seen to bring the baby to us are storks. Remove the S and T and we are left with ork’s. It can’t be for adults because it is possessive of “Mork from Ork”, so as Ork’s, it’s not for adults. (Points for creativity, Marina?)
Seesixcm6
I’m too tired to read any other responses, I’ll simply go with Rabbit.
Matrix take away two letters and you have Trix.
Trix are for kids, big kids like us.
You know that would make the clue work, “…..not for adults”
matrix – an enclosure within which something originates or develops (from the Latin for womb)
natural enclosure, enclosure – a naturally enclosed space
Matrix – the body substance in which tissue cells are embedded
Trix a cereal that is for kids.
Matrix Looked up at Etymology Dictionary.com
1373, from O.Fr. matrice, from L. matrix (gen. matricis) “pregnant animal,” in L.L. “womb,” also “source, origin,” from mater (gen. matris) “mother.” Sense of “place or medium where something is developed” is first recorded 1555; sense of “embedding or enclosing mass” first recorded 1641. Logical sense of “array of possible combinations of truth-values” is attested from 1914.
Origin:
1325–75; ME matris, matrix < L mātrix female animal kept for breeding (LL: register, orig. of such beasts), parent stem (of plants), deriv. of māter mother
http://www.ask.com/bar?q=m%C4%81trix+female+animal+kept+for+breeding&page=1&qsrc=167&zoom=&ab=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fdictionary.reference.com%2Fbrowse%2Fmatrix
Go about half way down the page for the answer.
This word question is familiar, either I’m having deja vu or I heard this question on Cash Cab.
I tried to bring up Matrix on Cash Cab and couldn’t find anything. You could have heard it there as they ask a lot of different questions on different things.
HI cool james1 here it just came to me MATRIX is the answer.
Did she say, “Take away two letters, and it is a note for adults,” or “… not for adults?”
“not”
Matrix
Hi. I have been thinking about this word for a week and decided to ask you, Marina. The word is [dud] as in a grenade, bomb or other explosive that hasn’t blown up. And by the way you are the sexiest geek of the year.
PARENT***farrow==rabbit=
Master … stamen … rock where minerals are embedded=ma.trix?
It’s a bull. Cow Birth. this fun
The folks are popping in pretty quickly, now. I had better get to work on this.
The word is rabbit. If you remove R and A, you are left with BBIT, which is IM talk for “be back in ten.” In other words, adults are around and I’ll tell you the great story, later
Wow! plaguarism, direct from YouTube.
Copy & paste, Wow seesixcm6 I noticed also
You gave the best explanation so far, rabbit it is.
seesixcm6, Did you study code breaking in the military?
In the Signal Corps, we were involved with codes and ciphers, but most of our code work was with computer encryption and de-encryption. We sure worked hard.
Here is an alternate answer: In cartoons, animals seen to bring the baby to us are storks. Remove the S and T and we are left with ork’s. It can’t be for adults because it is possessive of “Mork from Ork”, so as Ork’s, it’s not for adults. (Points for creativity, Marina?)
