O’Reilly Factor Show – Valentine’s Day Words
Here is my Valentine’s Day -- O’Reilly Factor Show appearance.
Funny how so many words related to love have pain associated with them! Desire, infatuation, passion, romance and Valentine’s Day are discussed.
No pain, no gain, right?
I discuss the origins of Valentine’s Day, Romance, Passion, Desire and Infatuated.
Previous appearances:
1st appearance • 2nd appearance • 3rd appearance • 4th appearance
I think this is the best O’Reilly segment of the 8 that exist as I write this.
Marina did great with all the origins, and Bill did a great job in seeing the commonality to the words presented and pointing THAT out.
It DOES seem to be s common theme experienced by all cultures — from ancient times though the Middle Ages right up through 1974.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2BjJbKQkgc
Glad we’ve evolved beyond all that silliness now as a Species!
O Reilly analyses the words in a great way and that, at the end of it something is gone hit you in the head is a plausible conclusion. Remember Marina’s comment about marriage. I like this guy
same name and died the same day wow lol and love hurts like a mother fucker
sry
sry for the language i mean lol
Any luck with posting you latest appearance?
Marina, you are so clever!
i’m a very big fan of you !
from norway.
inclusion to that “pati” verb
It’s a deponent verb which means the verb looks passive in form but active in meaning.
The principal parts are patior, pati passus sum- to suffer, endure. So passion comes from the last part which means I suffered. So you were correct, but i was just including some info on it.
Great show as always Marina! You always make “The Factor” entertaining and informative!
Interesting!!!!!!
as it happens I stopped the video to be fully charged , just when Marina was repeated on the screen.
As it turn she did Not repeated the same video, but re recorded it.
So the 2 pictures were slightly different.And happily rotating her head, a bit.
As it happens I am a enthusiastic creator of 3D pictures.
So I could not avoid checking Marina’s face, to see if I could see her beautiful fase in 3d by using the cross eyes technique.
I needed to reset the frame by stopping several times untill the 2 images created a perfect 3D image of Marinas fase.
Marina, if you want I can send you a copy of the frame.
My email is zuccarelli@yahoo.com.
For everybody else’s do it yourself, the result is worthed!!!
Thanks Hugo.
Very good show marina
You did a great job here Marina.
I am very interested in bibical and related words.
Fantastic!!
Hey Marina,
So, regarding the 404 Error page, any day now,
I am having nightmares of seeing the following message.
——————————————————————
Not Found, Error 404
——————————————————————
What the hell are you doing pedanticKarl?
Quit screwing around with entering text into the URL.
Haven’t you learned how to use a mouse yet?
Get with the program, noaww!

Ohhh, what we mavericks have to endure.
Marina,
Wow! Best O’Reilly Show yet!
Five lessons in one and you handled the host beautifully!

Hey Marina, I would like to request the word [cock tease] or just [tease] if it would be too explicit.

Marina, that is so funny, the “Not Found, Error 404″ page.
“You really can’t trust this wretched technology, can you”
Love it.
Hi PK,
Since it’s not one of my languages, will you be so kind as to proofread my German in the ‘Pun My Word Forum?
Hi Evan,
Awwww my gawd, you had me laffing on those. Your German was fine, except for the umlauts.
Herrenvolk, Kaputt, Gemeinschaft , Bauhaus particularly tickled my funny bone.
One of the best DE-US dictionaries is.
http://dict.leo.org/
Type anything into the text box, German or English
and it will figure things out. Go ahead and try it. Enter one of your words into the text box and you’ll get some good info.
Try entering Kaputt. Can you say fudged up.
There are several others which aLx and others have presented. I have the links if you need other sites.
Oh, Evan, when you enter Herrenvolk into Leo, and nothing comes back, try Herren volk, two words.
There is a forum at leo.org where you can ask for a translation when the search engine gives you no result.
“Herrenvolk” or “Herrenrasse” have become part of the nazi language by the 1930s to describe the nazi ideology that mankind was divided into superior and inferior races of which the first ones had the right to live and the other ones hadn’t. Explicit terms like these have been banned after World War II. Someone using these words in Germany today could face prosecution under § 130 sect. 3 of the criminal code.
Hello logischabbaubar, thank you for reminding me about the forum and yes, you are correct about the terminology. Several years ago I used to follow some of the trials and laws affecting various expressions in Germany (religious and otherwise) and language norms.
Lots of interesting events I wished I had more time to study. Thank you for your input.
dafür haben wir ja seit geraumer zeit die “leitkultur”.

marina dear…did you get roses for valentines day?i have a word to request…the word [cupid]
You would think and that’s my problem again thinking. That YT would do the email replies like Marina’s site does. If someone comments to you on a web site and it ends up in your email you wouldn’t have to search through 7000 comments to find where the person commented back to you. I made a comment on Sxeyphill and just got an reply. I clicked on the comment in my email and it takes me Phils site. But I have to look through all of those comments to find the repliers comment so I can reply back to him.
.
Hey Mike, I agree with what you are saying. YT and Google as much as they do a lot of stuff, do with the least amount of features. Very annoying for the most basic things.
I don’t know if you are familiar with page find, CTRL-F.
When you visit the YT comments, click at the bottom of the comments to show all of them. Then do a ctrl-f to search for your name. Unfortunately, sometimes there are so many comments that the pages are still paginated, then you have to do a find pn page 1, then page 2 and so on. Yes, it is a pain.
Thanks Karl I give it a try.
A pain, indeed. That’s why I don’t want to see it here.

Who is HotForWords? Her name is Marina Orlova, she’s 28 and she’s a philologist! Now you might be asking what the heck is a philologist? Well, it’s someone who studies linguistics and etymology.. and in Marina’s case.. she has applied her Philology degrees to specializing in word origins.
WHITESMOKE
Who is HotForWords? Her title is Marina Orlova, she’s 28, also she’s a philologue! In this day and age you might be enquiring what the heck is a philologue? Correctly, it’s someone who researches philology in addition to etymology.. and in Marina’s case.., she has addressed her Philology degrees to narrowing down in intelligence commencements.
OK,
First comment
I really like hotforwords, I love coming to her website and talking to the people there, and of course Marina herself. I have been on the site for six months now. I have a cat. My room is being decorated at the moment and I am worried at how long it will get me to find all my stuff and put it back to normal
EDIT BY WHITESMOKE
I actually like phonorecords, I love coming to her internet site also conversing to the human beings over there, in addition to Marina herself. I have existed on the site for Captain Hicks /HALF A DOZEN (don’t know which one to choose
) months at this moment in time. I have a true cat. My area is actuality adorned at this point, as well at the same time as I am distressed astir how spread out it will take me to find all my paraphernalia and place them back to normal.
That’s funny. Someone asked me why I dumped WhiteSmoke and I should have used your example. I don’t think there is such a thing as a computer being able to correct grammar. It’s to much like creating art. It’s like asking a computer to paint something more valuable than the Mona Lisa. Software grammar checkers are just band aids to the problem. One just needs more education.
Not at all, its brilliant when you use it properly, I just went and clicked everything so it looked absurd
Must have been the version they gave me. It was so unbelievably lame. I miss the grammar checker I had back in OS 9. It rocked.
Hows your chicken this morning.
I couldn’t bear giving it such abuse last night. I would never chock such an animal. I would rather just cut it’s head off and have it for dinner. The chicken breast I had last night was rather good. The chief picked out the largest breast in the store. It was very plump and juicy piece. I served it with spinach and baby red potatoes. When the first piece touched my tongue I was in heaven. I love chicken breast….

A quote I just received:
Be kinder than necessary, because everyone is fighting some kind of battle.
Always.
Good one.
DAYTONA 500 in half an hour!

Erm… Let the Daytona 500 begin then!
It’s not F-1 neither Superbike, but racing is racing and fast is fast!

Sorry, I had to work that in.
The reporter Ellen gives us a peak into her own psyche by her perception of Marina in the article on Newshounds.
She may have her own body image issues.
Are you jealous you cannot post there.
Well, it is Sunday morning and all is quiet at the office complex, except for the wind whipping outside. It’s overcast and sprinkling on and off (the radar map shows us in the middle of a huge rain mass), so it’s actually into our deepest winter and so sunny Seattle has us beat for once. After a bowl of hot oatmeal, I will brave it to walk down the block and collect some Gasbuddy prices. Anyone else do Gasbuddy.com?
Sweetie Pie is at the office with me for the weekend and likes to explore when the mood suits her. Last night she crawled through a 3 x 4″ hole in the front of the shredder basket and sat looking out at me as though to say, “Hey, look what I did!” I didn’t have the heart to stick a piece of paper in the top to start the grinder; she would have shot out of there like a rocket.
Anyone going to watch the race? I’m not much of a racing fan, but I’m always up for a “cars in a blender” shot.
Found another positive song by Patsy Cline … Try Again.
Now, as Sansone would say, I really have to get back to work!
Nice job, Marina!

Marina,
Click to see (comment #14 in learn/practice) that I too figured out a way to work around the 1500 character limit!
Do you know how?
–Hs4Mm
.
I turned off the 1500 character limit.. we really don’t have an issue with people making posts that are too long.
You turned it off now. But that post was created when the limit was on. Did you figure out how? Here’s how it was done: the limit was only on the original comment and not on the “edit comment” box. So one just enters a short fake comment, then clicks the button to edit the fake comment, and quickly cuts-and-pastes a long piece of text. Saying this in public, since if you decide to bring back the limit you would do with the loophole patched up (and so no one would be able to exploit this techinique).
thanks…always bumming you neo-geeks, ex-nerds
That’s how I did it, too. I figured that even if WP had the character counter, the edit plugin would probably not. Holes, holes, holes; there are always holes.
I think the appropriate design process should be: see a problem and find a solution, not try out all the solutions and see if there are any problems that they might solve. “Here, let me tie your left foot to your right ear for a moment. There! Does that feel better? No? OK, let’s try something different. We could take this knife and cut off your… Hey, come back. I’m mot finished!”
It is hard to believe that it would be non-trivial for a user of WP to patch the loophole. I know nothing about WP — still waiting for the library to get me the book on WP (library has one copy with waiting list of 6 or so!).
It’s not Wordpress that you are messing with.. it’s a plug-in made by a nice programmer in Australia who made the plug-in for free. When I add features they are added using plug-ins. I added the ability to edit your comments, but that featured combined with the comment length limiter results in the ability to overcome the limiter. So I’ll just lose the limiter plug-in. I could have killed the ability to edit your own comments, but I really don’t have a problem with long comments.
Look who has whitesmoke hmm. lets see how long this lasts before it plays up.
“We really don’t have an issue with people making posts that are too long.” Thanks for the vote of confidence, in my inabilities! LOL
I am off to view the nascar race.
Thank you so very much!

Any new insights/updates on YT’s Most Popular B.S.?
Hi originalistrick,
If you’ve followed the comments on the Forum’s topic called “YouTube’s Most Popular Category (Now Official)”, you see that for the last ten days I have been trying to identify and characterize the dynamics of the Popular board on YouTube.
I’m trying to refrain from calling the Popular board updates B.S. as I am trying to gather the facts and not make any value judgments at this time, although I am rather disappointed at the outcome of the videos listed there.
I have noticed that YT is doing lots of tweaks, and YT has been a victim of spammers trying to throw a monkey wrench into the works. At least one of the YT users who was spamming, has their account suspended.
On the practical side, there may be four types of players in the YT game, all of whom are saying B.S. in one way or another to the Popular board.
1. YT, the owners might be saying BS to everyone and saying leave us alone already.
2. The YTubers like HotForWords, iJustine, etc. who have been there for two+ years may be saying BS and leave our turf alone.
3. The advertisers and the big media companies like Warner, CBS, etc. are saying BS and let us take over YT once and for all and let us run the game our way; no YTubers allowed.
4. Hackers, cracker, spammers, vipers, gripers, oooops, slipping into Blazing Saddles mode, are all saying BS as they just want to screw with the system.
I guess, the 5th player involved in the YT game, would be the visitors, like you and me who are looking a the popular board and saying, what the hell were they thinking.
Appreciate the reply, pedanticKarl. I hope you didn’t think I was referring to your efforts, or any other Family members’ efforts as B.S. That obscenity was aimed at Y.T. for their dastardly deeds.
Yes, I am keeping up with the Forum, and the analyses that you are performing are impressive. I know Marina must appreciate it, as we all do.
Hi originalistrick,
Thank you for your question. I didn’t think you were referring to me. Your’e cool man.
What was funny about your comment was that I had been reading a lot of blogs regarding the YT Popular subject, and I had noticed that there are lots of stake holders all screaming B.S. in one way or another. So, I wanted to divide the BS up into 4 divisions all screaming BS at each other. I can just visualize a cartoon for that.
I love reading your comments originalistrick.
Thank you for you compliments.
My pleasure, Amigo. Keep up the good work.
In the past, I have mentioned Patsy Cline and her sad songs … here’s a funny song by her I love you honey … tell me — confidentially — how much do you love me?
I found that article… Needless to say I put a review on her shitty “review” honestly… You need a few more words than that.. What a conceited, arrogant bitch.
Are you talking about Ellen at Newshounds?
I saw you left a comment at J$P.
You mean Johnny , I use cable news to hide behind my political views

I would like to request the the expression “he is my third cousin [once removed].” All my life I have heard that but really have no idea what it means. What is he removed from and why? How can one be twice removed?
I appreciate your word sleuthing.
Eric Otto

I
second[twice remove] that request.Genealogically, it means “of a different generation.” E.g. my first cousin’s son would be my first cousin [once removed].
His grandson would be my first cousin [twice removed].
Marina,
Honest question.
Who is doing/creating/editing the insertions on this video?
I asked about similar matters in Comment 7.
Whoever produced the segment.

My wife sat down on the couch next to me as I was flipping channels. She asked, ‘What’s on TV?’ I said, ‘Dust.’
And then the fight started…
———— ——— ——— ——— ——— ——— ——— ——— —–
My wife was hinting about what she wanted for our upcoming anniversary. She said, ‘I want something shiny that goes from 0 to 150 in about 3 seconds.’ I bought her a scale.
And then the fight started…

When I got home last night, my wife demanded that I take her someplace expensive… so, I took her to a gas station.
And then the fight started…

After retiring, I went to the Social Security office to apply for Social Security. The woman behind the counter asked me for my driver’s license to verify my age. I looked in my pockets and realized I had left my wallet at home. I told the woman that I was very sorry, but I would have to go home and come back later. The woman said, ‘Unbutton your shirt’. So I opened my shirt revealing my curly silver hair. She said, ‘That silver hair on your chest is proof enough for me’ and she processed my Social Security application. When I got home, I excitedly told my wife about my experience at the Social Security office. She said, ‘You should have dropped your pants. You might have gotten disability, too.’
And then the fight started…
———— ——— ——— ——— ——— ——— ——— ——— —–
My wife and I were sitting at a table at my high school reunion, and I kept staring at a drunken lady swigging her drink as she sat alone at a nearby table. My wife asked, ‘Do you know her?’ ‘Yes,’ I sighed, ‘She’s my old girlfriend. I understand she took to drinking right after we split up those many years ago, and I hear she hasn’t been sober since.’ ‘My God!’ says my wife, ‘who would think a person could go on celebrating that long?’
And then the fight started…
———— ——— ——— ——— ——— ——— ——— ——— —–
I took my wife to a restaurant. The waiter, for some reason, took my order first. “I’ll have the strip steak, medium rare, please.” He said, “Aren’t you worried about the mad cow?”" “Nah, she can order for herself.”
And then the fight started…

A woman is standing nude, looking in the bedroom mirror. She is not happy with what she sees and says to her husband, ‘I feel horrible; I look old, fat and ugly. I really need you to pay me a compliment.’ The husband replies, ‘Your eyesight’s damn near perfect.’
And then the fight started…..

I tried to talk my wife into buying a case of Miller Light for $14.95. Instead, she bought a jar of cold cream for $7.95. I told her the beer would make her look better at night than the cold cream.

My wife asked me if a certain dress made her butt look big. I told her not as much as the dress she wore yesterday

A man and a woman were asleep like two innocent babies. Suddenly, at 3 o’clock in the morning, a loud noise came from outside. The woman, bewildered, jumped up from the bed and yelled at the man ‘Holy crap. That must be my husband!’ So the man jumped out of the bed; scared and naked jumped out the window. He smashed himself on the ground, ran through a thorn bush and to his car as fast as he could go. A few minutes later he returned and went up to the bedroom and screamed at the woman, ‘I AM your husband!’ The woman yelled back, ‘Yeah, then why were you running?’
And then the fight started…..

Saturday morning I got up early, quietly dressed, made my lunch, grabbed the dog, and slipped quietly into the garage. I hooked up the boat up to the truck, and proceeded to back out into a torrential downpour. The wind was blowing 50 mph, so I pulled back into the garage, turned on the radio, and discovered that the weather would be bad all day. I went back into the house, quietly undressed, and slipped back into bed. I cuddled up to my wife’s back, now with a different anticipation, and whispered, ‘The weather out there is terrible.’ My loving wife of 10 years replied, ‘Can you believe my stupid husband is out fishing in that?’
And then the fight started …
———— ——— ——— ——— ——— —-
I asked my wife, “Where do you want to go for our anniversary? ” It warmed my heart to see her face melt in sweet appreciation. “Somewhere I haven’t been in a long time!” she said. So I suggested, “How about the kitchen?”
And that’s when the fight started….

My wife and I are watching Who Wants To Be A Millionaire while we were in bed. I turned to her and said, “Do you want to have sex?” “No,” she answered. I then said, “Is that your final answer?” She didn’t even look at me this time, simply saying “Yes.” So I said, “Then I’d like to phone a friend.”
And that’s when the fight started
Thanks, Bob. Those really started my day off well.

There are over 4000 chars in your comment — how did you get around the 1500 char limit?
He used characters from Mars rather than those from Venus.
OK — I figured out a way to avoid the 1500 character limit too and demonstrated it in the learn/practice page — no need to tell everyone!

Is it an unhealthy thing to buy flowers for yourself? I feel is a bit weird for some reason. Like not masculine. I don’t own anything with flowers on it, I would burn it for sure. I just like to have the real thing on my yacht. It has to be something with a nice fragrance that doesn’t annoy me. Lilium ‘Stargazers’ (Hybridized lily from the late 70’s) is one of my favorites. Two years ago I had my vase full of SGs with other arrangements. Funny is I was criticized more from the women than the guys. Well not criticized but more like … gawked at? Maybe? Who knows. They never said anything that I took as support. The guys where more like it was kind of strange but cool at the same time. Any guys here like to buy flowers? Any of your married guys buy for your wife but secretly enjoy them?
___/)___
Here is the odd thing. If the flowers are potted, then I can get away with it. If the flowers are cut, well then, that is a toatally different thing altogether.
I gues that goes to show how consistent this whole gender role thing is. 
Seems like we had some of this in on of the forums a couple weeks ago. I dunno, slept since then.
Buying flowers that are cut is like getting money that is on fire.
That’s why I like potted plants. Last much longer.
Yeah the rules of gender roles is a confusing thing. Makes no sense sometimes. I’m just going to do what I feel I need to do the way I want to do it. To everyone else they can just go suck on it.
I used to give away flowers to women but with so much negativity I get from the women I give them to I just gave up. There was this one time I gave a nice little bouquet to a lady and she said “Thanks!” and that was the last I heard from her. We weren’t dating or did I want to. She helped me out on dealing with a difficult customer and I though it would be a good jester to give her something. I later seen them again on someone else’s desk from a person that tried to get me fired from my job. How I know these were my flowers? I cut them myself from a friends garden. When I worked at a pet and garden shop I gave a way many flowers and plants. I was treated like I was giving away 20 year old fruit cake. Last time I bought flowers for someone was like 3 years ago. I guess it was such a good feeling I didn’t want to spoil the experience by giving flowers to with the next person. That said, this year I will buy for a nice lady a great bouquet. As long as they don’t end up on Ebay I’ll be happy.
Yeah we might have had the conversation before. I should check the forums again. Wish we had some sort of email update with it. Damn, I have a meeting at 1500 hours that I need to attend. Got to go.
What is unhealthy is worrying about what other people think. Anything that gives you pleasure and doesn’t hurt anyone else is OK to indulge in.
The fact that you do something which less enlightened people think is effeminate, only shows that you are secure with your self image and that those who think it effeminate are not secure with theirs.
Anyway, flowers are sexual organs, and all men like a bit of pornography, don’t we?
{says Bob, as he types daintily at his armoire, sipping with his pinky out, frolicking in his pink, satin teddy…}
You forgot to mention that it’s a glass of Rosé that I’m sipping.
Is that why women like them so much?! LOL!
Don’t know about that but it may be why men fight duels over women; pistils at dawn, anyone? Or a testament to their stupidity?
It’s a cultural thing. Poles of both genders love flowers.

Belated valetine to you Marina, You looked and sounded great on O’reilly’s show,hope you had the Special Valentins Day.
time check
yep, still flying by.
[Witches and Wizards]
I’m looking for the origin of the word [pussycat] and [bitch]? out of curiosity.
While watching a special on the History Channel on the St Valentine’s Day Massacre they mentioned [ speakeasy ] and my girlfriend asked why they are so named?
Thank you.
Marina: @2:42, the video reports you hosts a weekly radio show on XM/SIRUS; how is that going? You looked great! Hear is something for soul pretty is yellow Chinese Dance – Yellow River Piano Concerto (Mvmt 4)
I think you are into this “art of dance and colors”…be good 
Funny, I seen that xm/sirus also and I emailed her about it yesterday. Also the view counts are way off. I guess they just used old data. Typical of Fox fair and balance news reporting.
Oh.. I didn’t notice that! As soon as things settle down over there at Sirius/XM I’ll hopefully get the show going again.
thanks for the update…Howard Stern, Fartman, 1992
You looked great on the O Reilly show! Happy Valentine’s Day!
I would like to request the word [kiss]
HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY MARINA
love hurts. Even when nothing bad happens. So strange isnt it? Well that explains it then. This is ancient knowledge. I have lived many years and I thought I was the only one that hurt, and I didnt know why… Wow
Thanks for this Marina But why does it hurt??? Interesting!
Origin of [renegade]
Thanks for the rerun. I missed the shows airing. Looks like old Bill was just about to go after you there, but you handled him nicely. Great segment.
Haha you will find nothing about htis origin [Alien Moviez]
I’m requesting the origin of a golf term: Mulligan.
I forgot I need to surround requests with brackets. So, [Mulligan].
I thought that was a hair style.
Hmmm, no that was a mullet 
Thnx for the smileys. I’ve c/p & ctrlS.
Hey Marina, I’d like to request the origin of the word [scapegoat]. I’ve been wondering about how this word came to be for a few years now. Thanks!
That was a great segment. Very Cute
Marina I know you don’t like to stir the pot. But if I were you I would give this person a piece of your mind over the trash she talked about your performance on the ORielly show. Who cares if it’s February and your in a halter top. It’s warm right now and I would think that the show has heat in the building. What did she want you to wear a danged overcoat. Maybe your the sexy female she would like to be and takes it out on others. I hope she reads this and gives me a comment so I can give her one back that she want like. Писатель мусора
Don’t worry Cap, many use Marina for publicity since they can’t get it on their own.
People without talent become critics of those who have talent.
Marina is vey clever and has a great show and people are jealous of her.
Warren, man you said the truth on that one! The world is full of people that are jealous of others peoples success. I try to look at those comment as proof that I am doing a right job. I took first place in a karate tournament. I was a blue belt and I beat out 7 black belts in kata. I preformed a very advanced black belt level kata. I had two spectators say I didn’t deserve it. Though I was congratulated by all 7 belts that were very impressed. I think that day I learned no matter how well you do you will have some nay sayers.
Hey Jack,
Here’s a couple of quotes that fit here-
If you have no critics you likely have no successes.
Malcolm Forbes
on the other hand-
He has a right to crticize, who has a heart to help.
Abraham Lincoln
Bro! I always ask for criticism when I remember to ask for it. Sometimes it’s hard to swallow but just a few days ago I had a hard criticism from a friend that operates a store. I normally feel hurt full but I thanked him for the criticism. I had no clue I was doing anything wrong but now I know which is fantastic. Sometimes it’s very hard for friend to say things like your breath stinks ( that was not the criticism was about). It take guts, confidence and true friendship to say those things. It’s all good.
Thanks for your quotes Warren.

One of my own credos: If I’m not pissin’ anybody off, then I must not be gettin’ much done.
What person are you talking about?
Settled at 60.2.2.1.1
Got it.. good stuff! Love a little controversy.
Origin of [Alien Moviez]
LOVE HURTS!
Love hurts, love scars,
Love wounds, and marks,
Any heart, not tough,
Or strong, enough
To take a lot of pain,
Take a lot of pain
Love is like a cloud
Holds a lot of rain
Love hurts, ooh ooh love hurts
.
I looked at the full lyrics. That is actually a stupid song against love! The person who wrote that song is totally miserable! Eeks!
–hs4Mm
.
Yah… you’re right!
maybe they wrote it just after they broke up ?
.
Today’s Non Sequitur is very interesting, when analyzed. Superficially, the girl who gets the card, Danae, appears to be a cruel person. But in fact, in this comic strip, she is being very just and loving. Observe that Jeffrey is being a coward by not signing the card (neither to nor from) — he shows a lack of courage. Fundamentally, his error is that he is being non-objective in his declaration of love: although he is declaring love, how is one supposed to know whom the card is for, and who it came from? Danae’s love for him is that her remark, while not destroying his spirit, servers to expose a flaw in his technique for wooing her. Jeffrey continues to live after that remark; it is now up to him to improve his technique!
One might argue that Danae was a bit cruel in her preface “But I really hope it’s from that Dreamy …” and could have been kinder by prefacing “But maybe it’s from that Dreamy …”. But I suppose this wording has to do with what it takes to knock some sense into Jeffrey, fast.
–Hs4Mm
.
PS: One might need to consider also that the preface “But I really hope” is not shouted out at Jeffrey the way the rest of the remark is.
Is it a coincidence that the word analysed begins with those four letters?
It is either rational interaction or some BS like men are from mars, women from venus.
.
Oops! I could be totally wrong in my understanding of what one can properly expect in a relationship … perhaps the proper thing for Danae to have done would have been to shout words to the effect that the card was meaningless because one could not tell whom it was from and who it was for. In the comic strip, she is dropping hints — and good communication is not based on hints but on directness. Caveat lector! I am no expert … just struggling to figure these things out.
(Incidentally, the above correction occurred to me when I came across this Q/A by Carolyn Hax for Feb 15, 09. Hopefully that link works; if not, here’s another link.

I use to deal with infatuation early in high school… I don’t know why.
I think the misconception of love is crap.
Please explain the origin of the phrase [on the horns of a dillema].
Happy Valentine’s Day Marina. By the way, I don’t really love you anymore… you are starting to look a bit chubby and and and…
JUST KIDDING!!! 
Have a wonderful day!
Happy Valentines Day Marina.
Hey Warren, did you see where you were on the Orielly factor too. It was great of Marina to bring you along on the trip. You did a fine job of acting my friend.
Yes, I was a bit nervous but Marina coached me and said, “Just be yourself”. It was a leap that I couldn’t have made without Marinas help so today she is my Valentine.
Good grief.
…if you know what I mean.
Funny
Thank you.
so whos the red-haired girl ?
Family guys Wife
The girl Charlie Brown pined for, which was based on the girl Charles Schulz pined for in his school days. Her name was Donna and they ended up as friends but nothing more.
Younger version of Marina.
[facetious]
Please investigate this word
Rami-
Egypt
I would like to request the word [bejesus]
bejesus = by Jesus
I would like to request the word [boondoggle]
[Redheads are passionate], aren’t they? HotForWords must investigate. I haven’t seen the stars in a long time. I live in a very overcast region, therefore, I must create my own stars.
Tell Mr. O’Reilly that I turned his show off because he did not list HotForWords in his opening comments.
It was a busy show last night. He had on Diane Sawyer and Mike Connors (”Mannix”), but they weren’t in the intro, either. I would’ve been happy if, in that intro, he swapped a clip of Drew Peterson and his crazy [much younger!] girlfriend (or is it fiance?) on “Today” for Marina. I won’t hold his creative decision against him, but I’m a loyal fan.
I appreciated your reply. One has to wonder about those gals.
I now sleep in my daughters bedroom since she got married and moved out. Well she put up stick on glow in the dark stars on the ceiling and the ceiling fan. At night I get a great look at the stars and some spinning around in circles. If you watch the fan long enough you have to put one foot on the floor
If you know what I mean. Turn on a rain sound machine and it is beddy by in no time. 
Yes, I remember those stars. I suppose one could hold one’s breath to see the stars, but not advisable.
YAY ITS VALENTINES DAY….
no sex for James..
That shouldn’t be neuter you.
oh haha..
James, like Marina said, you have to “make the call!”
Someone with your flair for the romantic needn’t be single on Valentine’s Day!
It’s just another Saturday for me, too.
You have Mary and here four sisters.
or look for that guy who keeps wanting to know what a foot job is. Does he really think Marina is going to do that request. 
As always, Marina, I enjoyed your appearance on “The O’Reilly Factor” last night. And as always, some of the commenters here like you, but don’t like him, primarily for ideological reasons even though he’s an independent. And also as always, everyone is free to have their respective opinions.
As a Peanuts fan and a David Benoit fan, I liked the editorial decision to throw in clips from the 2002 special, “A Charlie Brown Valentine.” Info on it can be found here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0283987/
If anyone would like to see Marina’s latest O’Reilly appearance in HD, you can watch it here: http://tinyurl.com/aztr2m
Thanks again, Marina. Keep up the great work here at HotForWords.
it’s cool Marina gets whatever publicity, but once again I will re-iterate that Bill O’Reilly and FOXnews have jumped the shark years ago and are not very popular among the majority of the viewing public. Indeed, when you show up on FOXnews, you end up being focused on by it’s political enemies…
http://www.newshounds.us/2009/02/13/fox_news_soft_core_porn_for_valentines_day.php#more
Newshounds is an unreliable website with a poor track record in telling the truth. I know the site your preference and I can’t change that, but I wanted to point that out. For everyone else, you might want to check out Johnny Dollar’s Place. http://homepage.mac.com/mkoldys/blog/jdp.html
Time and time again, the site is…oh, I give up. I’m swimming against the ideological current among the HotForWords commenters.
McLIJazz, Just one question . What do you mean by
I didn’t know you were catching that much slack over your comments. I agree with you that Newshounds is an unreliable source of information.
I feared slack for being a Bill O’Reilly and Fox News supporter. The Newshounds hate me for my pro-BOR/Fox comments at J$P (Johnny Dollar’s Place) when I used to comment there before I gave up, and TVNewser and Inside Cable News before I gave up at those places, too.
Every time Marina goes on “The Factor” and posts the video here, she gets a few comments from O’Reilly haters. They point to his ego, they say he only cares about himself, or they condemn Marina for even going on a show that is on a network they claim is a Republican propaganda arm…or some nonsense. It’s very frustrating.
Oh ok pal I see your point. I want never give you any slack over being and ORielly patron.
Thank you, Capman. I appreciate that.
One of the things that I really like about this site: most of the folks here will not belittle the dissenter. As a matter of fact, we usually take turns dissenting against something. We may bust your balls a little bit
(What! Next, your gonna want us to vote for Jeb Bush!)but well-thought ideas generally get respect here.I was not belittling. I am sorry if you got that impression.
Here is what I said to that.
Oh shut up Ellen [edited by dbmod]you conceited ignorant bitch [unedieted for HFW by James]. You complain about Marina but you can’t even embed a video properly! I also think that the costume designers choose what you wear, and even if they didn’t what Marina wears is 100% up to her. The fact she is a beautiful woman makes you jealous. Marina is always enthusiastic. How would it be if she just sat there and said..” ohhhhumthhissworrdcomessfrooommuuuhhmm” It would be pretty crap? [edited again - dbmod]Hang on whilst I just take some of what you said from that pile of shite….[edited back again by James].
was also so excited by her etymology that she could not help shaking her large chest at nearly every word
I saw no evidence of that WHATSOEVER! In fact, just to back that up, I watched it again, because the other times I watched it, I was paying attention to her face not her breasts… obviously something you were not.. Hiding something are you?
[Flotsam and Jetsam] the stuff one finds going with the current.
We are an unrealiable site, what about Dollars crapper number 2 site, all Conservative Lies all day, and Billdo being an independant do you think any of us are the dumb. Then again a person who get all his news info off Fox News probably so.
And Mike the reason I bother you is simple you talk down to people, you and that little girl Ashley at Dollars, think you are better than us.
Also you want me to find all the post you made about open minded women at Dollars house, people here might change theim mind about you.
Go back to Dollars and post he banned me, so their is no body left to disagree with you. That should make you happy.
Having re-read your comment and your response to Marina’s comment, errin, I misunderstood what you were saying. You weren’t saying Newshounds is your preference. You were saying that appearing on outlet like FNC is fodder for people that hate the network. That’s true. So, I’m sorry I misunderstood.
I had to watch the show again to confirm my conviction that there was no mammary agitation going on, but confirm it I did.
Marina was shaking her head and moving her arms about a lot but the wobbly bits were well lashed down and in no danger of going overboard in a storm.
Marina’s a strong woman and won’t be intimidated by fervent Fox haters in the blogosphere. Right, Marina?
I just watched it again too Bob and I didn’t see any unnecessary movement or any movement that would constitute a write up like Marina got from that rag of a news letter. Some people are just jealous of others and have to cut them down to make themselves look good. But in this case she made herself and her rag look bad. As they say bad news sells good news fails.
Hey, we’re famous: http://homepage.mac.com/mkoldys/blog/vmc256359338.html
That was just great. Marina didn’t have to do any thing. They read our comments and it did it for her.
Hey, folks,
Thanks to you all for exposing me to this Newshound Fox-hating stuff. More of the same from the left-wing lemmings.
You mean all 5 of your, wow, wtfc
So what’s your point?
wtf soft core porn ??!!! That newshound site is filled with FOX haters for all I know … or they are very conservative and doesn’t like the idea of smart and pretty girls
They are Fox haters and they’re far-far-left.
Hey Errin, hows it been. How is the band doing. Any good songs you’ve recorded lately?
“…not very popular among the majority of the viewing public”:
IF you are a hard-core left-wing extremist who considers The Huffington Post an example of reputable mainstream media. Actually O’Reilly’s ratings usually beat most of the mainstream(partisan; biased towards the left)media’s efforts combined.
And as I said in a different comment, Bill is an independent. In fact, the only doctrinaire conservatives on FNC are Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity and they, like Bill, don’t mind debating the other side on their shows.
Shut up, Mike,
Oreilly is a shit, Obama is president and you are Johnny Dollars and Iwant to suck Olbermann love child.
ANd what are you doing on an extremely hot womans website, shouldn’t you be listen to some lame smooth jazz.
This is one of those Newshounds that hates me. And he really hates me. He’s gone to my blog, to various cable news blogs, and even sent me a message on Facebook.
So, if you were wondering, Capman, this guy (named Patrick) is why I quit commenting at those blogs. I wish I could report his comment and have him banned. He came to HotForWords for one reason: bully me.
Alright! Another left-wing lemming!
I get attacked quite often by people when I appear on the O’Reilly show, but it’s simply by people who are attacking Bill and trying to use me as ammo.
You would think that people would appreciate the break from politics to learn a little history… but they don’t.
No big deal on my part.
I’m glad to hear you say that, Marina. People that don’t like Bill or the network his show is on–or the company that owns them, for that matter–are so wrapping in their disdain that they can never have an open mind. And they’ll stop at nothing to take their enemies down.
If I offended anyone here, I am sorry.
No need to apologize for saying the truth
I thought offending our fellow Wordies was [de rigueur]!
No apology needed, Amigo. Most everybody here is independent and open-minded. And fun.
Thanks, guys.
Marina, I really don’t know how sometimes you don’t lash out!
She has better things to do with her time.
What a tasteless and inaccurate attack. Please know the education, entertainment and joy that you bring to us resonates to form a supportive and nourishing network for you.
Excellently put, vc-companybuilder!
And sweet pooch!
As long as you feel you understand the situation and are fine with it, then I suppose it is no big deal.
If you feel you understand American politics and it’s political culture, if you think you fully understand what comes with the territory, if you fully grasp what the term ‘buyer beware’ means, then I guess everything is okey dokey. Still, there are some things about American realpolitik you are most likely ignorant of, and lucky you for that, as it is the darker side of American political extremism (both of the right and left).
In the views of some, your appearances on Bill O’Reilly’s show are not apolitical at all. I can tell you exactly why the extreme leftists consider you to be the enemy. To them, FOXnews has a track record of hiring pretty blondes as anchorwomen, reporters, guests, etc. The point is to put an attractive face on political ideology, as well as to appeal to a base that is mostly male and mostly white. Just like certain Vegas casinos would hire pretty women to sit at the gambling tables so that more men would gamble, just like certain cults in California would use attractive people to get others into the cult, so goes FOXnews in the eyes of the liberal left.
Personally, I don’t think FOXnews is so insidious, and just about every television network puts on pretty women (and men) to make themselves look better. My critique has always been that HotForWords should remain in the middle of American culture, not the fringes, be they right or left. Bill O’Reilly is not a demon or some horrible propogandist… my criticism has been that he merely isn’t as popular as he used to be. The FOXnews brand of conservatism jumped the shark years ago. It’s great that you have been able to use FOXnews for such exposure, but HotForWords has bigger and better things in it’s future than the Bill O’Reilly show. The middle market is much broader than that of niche news, whether it be for the right or the left. Don’t sell yourself short, Marina, or put your career in a corner it doesn’t need to be in. Thanks for listening to my constructive criticism.
I know you’re addressing Marina, errin, but I feel responsible for this, too, since I was critical of your link. I don’t want to be on your, or anyone’s, bad side. I am fine with agreeing to disagree on this matter. I hope you feel the same way.
I said in the comment that I posted today (60.1.4) that I misunderstood your two comments here (60, 60.7.4), and that you were actually right. So, I guess we’re just agreeing to disagree on the jumping the shark part. Either way, I would like to be on good terms with you.
errin,
With all due respect, and with no malice or intent at “smartassedness” whatever, from what source are you getting your stats that indicate to you that O’Reilly or Fox in general don’t kick the daylights out of the “alphabet” networks and CNN, MSNBC, etc.? (For the record, I was raised a Yellow-Dog Democrat and now consider myself an Independent.)
I knew word origins was also a study of History…..Yes i did! I did too! its true it is i tell you!
Some Valentines’ Day Trivia.
Happy Valentines Day Marina. I hope you get to relax and enjoy the day with out working to hard. So take a break and smell the Roses. Live long and prosper for we all care for you.
Valentine’s Day Quotations
Win her with gifts, if she respect
not words. (W. Shakespeare)
Never sign a walentine with your
own name. (C. Dickens)
Any valentine that is written
Is as the vendange to the vine. (M. Moore)
Valentines’s Day tomorrow. Why?
Why? Why is entire world geared to
make people not involved in ro-
mance feel stupid when everyone
knows romance does not work any-
way. (H. Fielding)
Poor old Valentine, a third century
priest who was clubbed and be-
headed on February 14th, in the
year 270, would certainly be sur-
prised to find himself a lovers`
saint. (H. V. Harper)
No use sending gifts to Marina, then.
Perhaps it is only “one way interchangeable”.
Words of Love

I count him braver who overcomes his desires than him who overcomes his enemies.

To overcome your desires, you need temperance. To overcome your ennemies, you need courage. Not the same things at all.
What can you tell me about the phrase [Red herring].
Thanks
“I fell in love with a YouTube girl”
Cute song, enjoy.
Happy V-day babe!
Well, Simon Cowell won’t be inviting him to Hollywood any time soon — he’s a little off key from time to time.
Did you see the ring on his finger?
Hey CK are has anyone figured out the name of the song?
See below for new clues.
Where is the game being held. Is it in the forums? I figured it out but I am giving Own a chance to figure it out first.
Hey Mike, I hope you and Pagey have a wonderful Valentines Day today and every day pal.
Happy Valentines Day Marina,
I hope some guy does not have you loosing your head. Well, at least not for too long anyway.
You were great on O’Reilly. That is a very cute laugh you have.
Origin of [Alien Moviez] i think it will be very hard
Dear Marina,
You were wonderful on The Factor! Wild Bill needs to include you on a regular and frequent basis.
HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!
You are my one and only fantasy girl! Ever!
Love always.
♥♥♥♥
Happy Valentine’s Day Marina 
♥♥♥♥
You were AWESOME last night!!!!
How about the word [hornswoggle]? Such a cool word.
Hi Marina That was very nice. You did a excellent job explaining all the words. You looked beautiful. EVERYTHING 100% PERFECT congratulations happy valentine’s Day
Good morning, Marina, and happy Valentine’s Day! I’d send you a kiss, but I’d feel sort of like Komarovski with Lara!
Feedback: I’d like to see a few more videos like this, with a less revealing dress and in your living room, rather than the bedroom. You’re plenty attractive without being so overtly sexy!
***Guess the song game***
HFW fans: Help! CampKohler’s “Guess the Song” challenge is driving me nuts!
“Evan Owen says:
I’m still puzzling over your “R-A-” song with the misspelled title.
CampKohler – Sacramento CA says:
Oh, goody! I have you hooked. You will kick yourself when you find out.
Clue: Up a lazy river by the old mills stream. (A clue in three ways, brother!)”
(Evan says: an earlier clue is that the song title is spelled out in the lyrics of the song.)
Up A Lazy River Lyrics by Manhattan Transfer
Maybe you are having a problem because the version I remember is scarce on the Web (it’s there, but scarce). Perhaps if I give you a different clue you can satisfy youre ames, especially if you are looking for old clothing in Silver Lake CA or the emergency show tapes of WLHA.
And I just did. Thrice.
Well, I had no idea until Mike said it’s Rag Mop. It came out five years before I was born, and I confess I had never heard it before.
And how do you spell it? Shirley you listened to it.
They spelled it “R-A-G-G M-O-P-P”…That’s not the song, though, is it?
Valentine’s Day (val*en*tinez dae) n.
A day when you have dreams of a candlelight dinner, diamonds, and romance, but consider yourself lucky to get a card.
But seriously folks!

Hi, Marina. Great lesson, thanks.
Can you explain the value of the word [Force Majeure]
Marina, I thought you were sending out Valentine Day cards?
Hopefully she’s too busy being pampered by her Valentine.
Ahhhhh!!!
Thank you Marina.
A day without homework.
Yippee!!!!
Wonderful presentation.
Look I’m typing to the Blond Haired Girl.
Happy Valentines Day!!!
Oh look Today Show very original, I’m with Stu (scratch) Cupid!!
My favorite BO show thus far. Lady M looked exceptionally classy.
The Lady is looking more comfortable in front of the TV cameras, now; she is able to retain a certain spontenaiety about her. I still love her animation; someday we are going to have to kill a few hours watching some Monty Python.
Very nice production!
Oh, look! The smileys and edit are back. Yay! (Thanks, Che for the loners.)
Happy Valentine’s day
I would like to request the word [Juke] as in a movement in a sporting event to throw another player off.
To My Dear Marina,
Tulips are red, and lollipops are purple,
Cookies are sweet, as anything I know,
I love them all,
just like watching HotForWords video lessons all in a row.
Today, I’m at your beck and call,
I wished that I were there.
For love has struck me once and for all.
It may seem like a cliché, to say that Love hurts,
Through these romantic words, a dream may come true,
and a Valentine’s Day wish has been granted already for you.
With Valentine’s hugs and kisses,
Pedantic♥Karl
P.S.
Each one of the links in the poem is a
HotForWords video lesson.
I’ve never seen a purple pop,
I’ve never even licked one.
Can Evan ever find his mop,
Even if he hasn’t clicked one?
Marina, and fellow students,
Happy Valentine’s Day.
I would like to request the word [philematology], which I believe means “the science of kissing.”
Here’s to a Valentine’s Day with less stress and more (chemically induced) bonding.
I hope (chemically induced) refers to [Pheromones] and not any unnatural substance.
I wonder if that’s why some women don’t like kissing on the lips?
I knew a girl who liked me to put my tongue in her ear.
Every time I tried to kiss her, she turned her head to the side.
Amazing, Bob! I was hitting on her too!
Well done Marina, that was really good!!!
HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!! I would send you roses…. but they would be dead by the time they got to you….
Thanks James! It’s the thought that counts
Happy Valentine’s day to you. Do you have a date? If not, then make the call! Make the call!
Good Morning Marina.
Happy Valentine’s day.
I hope you get the valentine you want from a special person.
Love you always.
