Guess The Word Game XV Answer
Posted: 24 Feb 2009 03:10 PM PST
I just got this today
your so tuff ,wow ,well done,you feel big and omighty…
…i tend to forget the real you untill you remind me..
the word is [narcissism] what if i said i am a good looking guy, do you think i could have a one night stand with you? please state your answer in a complete sentence.
I think part of the answer is dullard but you say take off 3 letters and it refers to the picture, well she is not dullard for posing for a photo as you do his often, so I would have to take off the 3 letters you said too, and call it a dull photo. Along the bases of a variety of quality ,in photo wise and towards today’s dress fashion.
i had a turn.the rest of the words didnt fit if i took off 3 letters. 
fatal bert
“Maudlin” ? Ok I vote for it !
Anyway if not the answer you can have some fun here : 2 hours of fun and humor animated by French (or Francophones) writers All in French ! Maybe Marina you could be invited there ? No ?
http://www.radiofrance.fr/chaines/france-culture2/emissions/papous/
I state with certainty that the answer is maudlin
I’m so sure, I can’t even tell you how sure I am

I’d say Maudlin

Fichier:Drunk papposilenus Louvre …more imbibers..Ladysatyr…Euphronios Just a look back. End of winter.
snakes…sit down on the chair maudlin…
ruffian
Languid
Maudlin (helped with some hints
)
I will go for “maudlin”.
Hi Marina!! The answer is………”Maudlin”! Hope I win!!!!
Dullard? If I got it right, PLEASE pick me!!!
Although this game is hard, it has risen quickly in the most viewed category, and is now in the default horizontal “most viewed” scroller on YT. Currntly on top of page 5 of Popular category. I am curious to see what happens – would be fine with me if no new lesson is posted for a day or two, just to see what happens.
Could be people are re-playing the lesson several times to properly understand the question.
there’s a lot of areas to this puzzle hard to digest all at once.
you have a well written outline on your answer “maudlin”
I still go with my answer “garbage” although I could be wrong
but the meaning of imbibe is more than just drunk if you dig a little deeper its to absorb or to suck up which is where Simmon C. comes in something he hates and applies that controversial name to. As far as the photo taking off the last three letters you get “garb” look it up refering to garments, apparel and furnishings might refer to the chair
any way this answer seems to plugin to all three areas of the puzzle…
Marina, I like to request that you wear the blouse you had on for the fox tv interview. (valentines day) The yellow one you looked so hottttttttttttt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Marina, I upload 122kb test file over half an hour ago… It’s still processing now… If you are uploading now good luck. Its going to be a long ride. I also think YT has messed up on its letterboxing….
I uploaded about 45 minutes ago and have been waiting as well!! Arrggh!
I am buying an hd camera on monday, so if I have to convert it to wmv so I can edit it in movie maker, then re render it in vegas, to get it back up to HD, will I lose some quality? I guess if I do I will have to edit in vegas! NOOOO!!
Also, I can’t get any proper widescreen going. If you look at my latest video, which after 3 hours of uploading and about 2 hours processing you will see it letterboxed… I did what I always did on this video but it letterboxed. I just made a test title in moie maker as a 720p and it worked fine so maybe it’s time I reinstalled it..
I don’t know what I do without you sometimes. I think my videos would just be about 1 pixel!
I have been watching, and so far, every time someone posts one msg higher than a multiple of 40, it posts to a new page. So how come there are some blogs with more than 40 top-level comments on the last page? Or am I just imagining it?
hi Marina, I have a word suggestion: catharsis.
Unless you follow the instruction just above the row of smilies, you are just creating a placebo.
[catharsis]
Trickle down…town pickles…Camp, ya think James soup is done making…i’m looking for lunch, not much meat from that fowl, you gave me from Lincoln
Whoa I’m hot today ! here are another couple of word suggestions: Sarcophagus and Ossuary. very intriguing…
You aren’t keeping up, are you? Always read the replies. OR ELSE!
Sorry guys, I did read your replies but didn’t get it at first… Anyways, now I do, thank you!
[sarcophagus] [ossuary]
Hey everybody,
What nine letter word in the English language is still a word when each of the nine letters is removed one by one? Take a few minutes to try and come up with a nine letter word that fits the bill, then watch the video.
Answer
Actually, there are at least a dozen possible answers.
You Tube, at this time is a SNAFU
at least here…….. femur bone? and dog 
I would like to request a word [pleroma]. Thanks!
Q. With respect to Marina, what is the difference between me and a cannible?
A. One syllable.
I think CK means “nibble,” but if you ask me, he’s a “can o’ bull!”
Very good! However, the answer is: fondle and do vs. fondu.
BTW Marina, I’m fond o’ you too!
There’s an old hotel in Aberdeen called the Skean Dhu, (The name refers to a small ceremonial dagger worn in the top of a sock in traditional Scottish dress).
A few years ago, it was a very run down place and was mostly only used for putting up North Sea oil workers waiting, at company expense, to go offshore.
It was then taken over by Thistle Hotels, leading to it becoming known as the ‘Thistle Dhu’. (This’ll do)
Scotish dress ……kilt…….Marina? ..:oops:
Skean dhu (ScotsGaelic) = black dagger. Marina might do well to add this to her mini-kilt ensemble for self-defense!

What, you want pre-approval now?
he sure does need to look into it…loon soup

Thats why you should bring along its nest, for dessert
[omasum] **** James****: is it soup yet? Make mine omnifariousness.
I think people are beginning to judge book by thier covers
Put a cover on your pot, when making your soup: JAMES
WTF are you all on about?
birds nest soup
WHAT’S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN!
James,”WTF are you all on about?” just to quote you,
try anisette…You people, can’t take kidding?
annoy you noy
It only means that if you are making soup, a lid or cover, on the the thingy thing you are using(mix of foods, boiled), would be helpful….or do use a fry pan? I do not know?
James, surely you know by now that leonard has his own unique view of reality. Be amused, bemused, bewildered, but by all means don’t take any of it personally!
Besides, he HAS posted some really cool international music links. I would never otherwise have heard of “Petek Dinçöz Pembeler Içinde Harika!” or “Арефьева Куколка-бабочка.”
Leonards cool even if most of what he writes doesn’t make sense to others evidently it does to Leonard.
Do you know the story of “stone soup”?
That would be a great video to make…
I will officially make my guess now: Maudlin, named after Mary Magdalene. The short word is maud (the skirt and the woman’s name.)

Good one, Evan: Do you and when do you, have [eisteddfod]? My guess is mar.bled…marbled—also, who put the ‘R’, in Eos?…Man – Shit on the World – Cambridge Rock Festival –my favorite [welsh], music creators
***** 
…how did mar…bled?
Well, I understood about half of that. [Eisteddfod] literally means “session,” from eistedd, “to sit.” An eisteddfod is a Welsh cultural event featuring song and poetry, with adjudication (judging and evaluation), and awards given to the best performers. At the annual week-long National Eisteddfod, they ban the use of English. Attending it 3 times really improved the rudimentary Welsh of my youth.
Gyda llaw (by the way), March 1 is Saint David’s Day — patron saint of Wales!
Understanding is half of it, Evan. ” Shit on the World ” a song by the band Man, from Wales. What is poetry? With all the language skills and vocabulary…what makes Greek myths into words and did the welsh do that in their old days. Eos = “goddess” of the dawn and mother of the winds and the stars….Eros=Greek god of love. With your skills of going back into another speaking people, I ask; how would the Welsh make up the words eros and eos? As for Mar.bled..marbled….it was a guess for HotForWords…..marb&led or mar&bled…sea,see and no c’s
Thanks and keep up the fine comments
Update on my virus/spyware problem: My CA Security software says it has deleted the Win32 Fake Alert but the warnings are still all over this site and others.
My desktop lost the ocean theme background and is now solid black, still with my icons and a big neon banner telling me I’m in need of scanning.
No worry I will not click on it.
So I’m searching for free anti-spyware for a one shot fix.
Great now every time I do a search I’m redirected to strange sites.
Thanks for your support.

Do you have the zlob trojan, I think I had to reinstall windows when I got it, but I know I had already just reinstalled around that time… so maybe i didnt…can reply to me with some of the warnings and I will se what is going in here.
Identified as Win32 Fake Alert by CA Security, different Anti-virus companies will call it different names.
So I guess it’s not zlob then..
You can try Adaware, http://www.lavasoft.com/products/ad_aware.php or
Spybot Search & Destroy,
http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/index.html
to get rid of it.
…or HijackThis, http://www.trendsecure.com/portal/en-US/tools/security_tools/hijackthis
logischabbaubar….Tried the spybot no luck now I’ll try some of your other fine suggestions.
Che, it may be that there is no software that can fix your problem at once. Modern malware downloads additional malware from the Internet in order not to be detected by anti-virus-software. According to CA’s virus description, Win32 Fake Alert does download additional malware from the Internet. It’s possible that your virus scanner has deleted the original virus, but hasn’t detected the additional malware installed by the original virus.
Backing up your data as long as you still can and reinstalling the operating system may be annoying, but perhaps it’s less annoying than unsuccessfully trying to fix the existing operating system.
Here’s something from Micro$oft about cleaning compromised system:

Get AVG, I tell you! It will find every occurrence of the bug, even in restore files. A TBYB (try before you buy) license good thru June 2010 is available with downloads from Mininova. I spent 4 monthes determining that products like McAffee, Norton, AdAware, etc. are not up to the task, before getting AVG, and I haven’t had a problem since. Once you run it and clear out all the bad stuff, you may have to go to a restore point prior to the infection to recover your settings (losing installs for programs loaded after that) but you won’t have to start from scratch with a new Windows install. Your current virus program dropped the ball – dump it.
I did checked into it, high price tag. Tks
I’ve heard good things about AVG.
In the end I may have to go the AVG way.
Youtube has disabled ratings and comments on all vids…. Thanks.. Damn “maintenance”

Sleep deprivation?
I can stay up for 24 hours easy. I can’t shut my brain down. As I write this comment I’m watching TV and thinking about what my next video is going to be, among about a dozen other things. Even when I sleep my mind continues. My dreams are like full featured movies. Waking up to reality is like taking a break from dream world.
Marina! I am shocked to see you made friends with someone on youtube 1 hour ago! You should be sleeping now! Go back to bed!!!
Dude, it’s YT lag….. She has not been on for 7 hours at least. That said she will be up soon. Maybe.. I think she went out last night and didn’t get home till late.
ah, that explains it.
Marina, I would like to request every single word ever! I hope you have time to investigate some of these words!
Now here’s a request that won’t be ignored!
Nice one, James. Except you must first enclose each one in [square brackets]. So, uh, see you in about 20 years. Wait. Make that 40 years.
I need more Serotonin!!!!!!
Are you depressed then?
No.
OK then, lol. I will put this post down to pure randomness!
Keeping notes?
That would explain your staying up all night. Seratonin is a precursor to melatonin, necessary for good sleep.
Try taking 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP). It’s a precursor to seratonin. If I recall rightly, it’s best to take on an empty stomach; I’m not sure it crosses the blood-brain barrier efficiently when in competition with other amino acids.
Or you could just take melatonin, if sleeplessness is an issue.
Ok doctor Owens. I don’t think that is the issue. I need a 26 hour day.
Another important factor in getting a good sleep is going to bed at the same time every night so that the body clock can reset itself.
Oh gee why didn’t I think of that? That’s just amazing!
I’m going to work on finding some homeless electrons for my free radicals. Anyone have some spare electrons?
Just for you my friend, I have a solution. Just yank the power cord off a table lamp, plug it into a wall socket and place one wire firmly in each ear. Voila! A magical flow of electrons will be directed through your cranium.
Now please, put away your wallet; there’s no need to pay for my services…
Oh that would not be far from the truth.
This one time… in electronics…… (you thought I was going to say band camp hu?) I working on a class assignment building a amplifier with vacuum tubes. Yeah vacuum tubes. I had been programming computers for 3 years and had to learn how work on vacuum tube electronics. Anyways, it was a morning class and I was placing this oscilloscope probe to measure something. I had the tip of my finger touching the metal part of the probe. 250 volts DC went through my body. I lived…. I went from groggy to wide awake. My other class mates were amazed. So they too shocked them selfs too. I don’t know why that worked but it worked great.
OMG, I didn’t know you went ac AND dc! I’m shocked and appalled!
LOL… No I don’t swing both ways. I not sure that the human body does create any AC. As far as I know it’s DC. Am I correct in thinking this? Oh I could google it but to lazy right now.
the word [Banshee]
Oooh, good one, with St. Patrick’s day coming up. From the Gaelic bean sídhe, “fairy woman.”
Marina left out a very important clue in the game.
What kind of word is it? A noun maybe? Adjective?
Not to mention that she didn’t fix any letters this time, normally I would choose “A” in any hangman. But maybe that’s just how I play.
And am I supposed to watch all series of American Idol, so I can understand the last clue?
I feel for you. I don’t watch American stupidity… I mean Idol. I know I should watch more sheeple TV but it just drives me nuts.
[sheeple]
(SHEE.pul) n. People who are meek, easily persuaded, and tend to follow the crowd (sheep + people).
Sheeple is a term of disparagement, a portmanteau created by combining the words “sheep” and “people.”
It is often used to denote persons who voluntarily acquiesce to a perceived authority, or suggestion without sufficient research to fully understand the scope of the ramifications involved in that decision, and thus undermine their own human individuality or in other cases give up certain rights. The implication of sheeple is that as a collective, people believe whatever they are told, especially if told so by a perceived authority figure believed to be trustworthy, without processing it or doing adequate research to be sure that it is an accurate representation of the real world around them.
The label seems to have originated in the United States and refers to people who tend to accept and follow everything at face value, especially if it is cited in mainstream media. Shortwave radio host Milton William Cooper used it commonly during his Hour of the Time radio show during the late 80s and early 90s. There is documented print usage of this word as early as 1950, in the form, “We, the Sheeple”, in the Emory University Quarterly, v.6-7 1950-1951, page 64. “The Wall Street Journal first reported the label in print in 1984; the reporter heard the word used by the proprietor of an American Opinion bookstore affiliated with the John Birch Society. In this usage, taxpayers were derided for their blind conformity as opposed to those who thought independently.
The term is also used more broadly to describe any person a speaker feels is exceedingly conformist.
From Sheeple.net – Sheeple are people that follow blindly and never question their leaders.
Their simple Motto is: “Follow the Asshole in front of you”

LMAO!
I’m disqualifying myself from winning, but had a ton of fun trying to find the word. Took me all day. I love these games.
My guess is maudlin and maud.
I accidentally came across the word maudlin and not all dictionaries gave a lot of information, until I stumbled on a drunk to be emotionally silly and a reference to Mary Magdalene in reference to weeping and tearful. Then, maud, also was not defined by all the dictionaries until I came to gray plaid.
_Two_ things in the picture are supposed to be maud — what is the other maud? I could find everything except this second maud on-line; had to use a book for the second maud.
Hi hs4mm,
The word Maud is an old German feminine given name meaning “powerful battler”. It’s a variant of the given name Matilda. ref: wiki Maud (name)
Did anyone identify the photo of the woman next to the chair? Is it a well known person or is it someone’s family photo?
Pedantic, if I understand you correctly, your answer is incomplete. (My answer is at 117.)
Maudlin is close, but the dull looking woman in the photo was not wearing a scottish shepherd’s Maud. Look at the images in this link to see what they look like:-
http://needled.wordpress.com/2008/12/10/maud/
Jeorney, I think maud refers to the actual cloth, as some carpets and blankets are made from maud. People also refer to the blankets worn over the shoulders of shepherds as mauds. But maud itself, I understand, refers to the checked plaid cloth.
a clue to the answer… You do realize that you have not given the answer yet?
uh… okay, never mind.
{That was fast.}
Ah well, I concede
I was wondering if the cloth is a toponym, since there’s a village called Maud (Peterhead, Aberdeenshire). Although some sources associate the cloth with the Scottish border regions.
There’s one minor point I’ll contest a wee bit. The woman in the picture ain’t that old – She’s a bit of hot totty in my estimation.
Ironically, the “urban” definition of a maud(e) is a women of great beauty and personality who can cause men to wear glazed expressions. They become maudlin. 
How have you been Pedantickarl? I have been away for awhile, i miss this site, i will be around, take care!
Hi vernon, I’ve been good, just like Marina requested.
You may have noticed a lot of new things on the site.
Good to see you back.

Hi Marina, I was just wondering if [Chili] has any links to the word [chill] since both the words seem to mean opposite things yet looks similar. Thanks!
Yeah, like my kids say:
“Never go to a Mexican restaurant to warm up. You’ll get en-chill-adas and brrr-itos!”
It is comforting to know that the art of making puns will not die with you.
Homework: I’ll guess “maudlin,” for a different reason.

Hey Marina!!!
I have a word request! The word is [dessert], you know, the sweets after dinner. i heard that it comes from a French origin that means “after the table is cleared.” And why is the word [desert] closely related to it? I just thought you might be able to investigate the word. Thanks!!!

What do you mean? Oh! Why do I put the words several times after I comment. I do that to draw attention. I know Marina has a lot of comments to go through, and I thought it would be easier for her to so the word multiple times.
*see the word multiple times (sorry)
Yes, please stop that
Marina uses brackets surrounding word requests as delimiters in her searches. She will see even a single request formatted in this way. Multiple requests strung as you had done only get counted as one occurence, anyway.
How are desert and dessert related?
hmm , the comment page thingy is a bit annoying .
.
Marina,
You tweeted that the word hug came into being in the 16th century and joked that perhaps people did not hug before then. Regarding the issue of what people called hugging before they had the word, I suspect people had just one word to denote all sorts of, or all degrees of “loving human interactions”; then, with time, people started sub-classifying the interactions with newly coined words. This would be similar to most of the world having just a few words for “snow”; but the eskimos having several words that sub-classify various “types of snow”.
Incidentally, I brought up the issue of “what something was called before one had the word for it” for another word peekaboo (in, perhaps, my very first comment on this site).
What say you?

I have not seen anyone else’s comments for GTW Game XV.
Answer: Maudlin. Adjective that currently, has two meanings: (a) drunk enough to be emotionally silly, and (b) weakly and effusively sentimental.
How the clues match:
1) 7 letters, not e, c, o: OK.
2) Not Marina: Obvious.
3.1) Eponym: From Mary Magdalene.
3.2) Controversial person involved in eponym: Wikipedia says something about Mary Magdalene’s life being the subject of “on going debate”; I don’t really care about her life and so merely glanced at what’s there. Supposedly was a sinner who was saved by Jesus and who saw Christ rise from the dead; supposedly Jesus’ wife etc. etc. Who cares.
4) “Combined with those who over imbibe” i.e., adjective to qualify a certain type of drunkenness: This is meaning (a) written above.
5) Simon C. hates them: This is meaning (b) of the adjective maudlin applied to singers/songs.
6) Word formed by first four letters: Maud has two meanings (a) A hag, beldam (dame), aged woman; and (b) grey, striped plaid worn by shepherds in South Scotland; rug or wrap resembling a maud.
6.1) First of two things in the picture: Aged woman.
6.2) Second of two things in the picture: The frock she is wearing.
6.1,2) Combined two things in the picture: A maud wearing a maud!

Bravo! A very good report. Your answer is quite complete
Only Marina can tell us for sure if it is correct. heh heh!
Take a looksie at this link

Nice try…
The unabridged OED says that although originally meaning “grey, striped plaid worn by shepherds in South Scotland”, maud was extended to refer to “a rug or wrap resembling a maud”. The woman isn’t wearing a wrap … it looks like a “shirt” that is fastened (canNOT be a zipper!) in the front, but it could be a shirt made from a maud.
or maybe “Sardine”?
Could it be “Baffoon”?
Nope! buffoon
Is the word “Narwhale”, or Narwhal?
The second one
Fake Virus Warning is still at top of page but the colors have returned to normal.
All letters in blue have gone back to blue not red anymore.
Going to kick back for a while and let Virus protector do it thing.
Spoke to soon blue letters went back to red.
Have you tried free Superantispyware?
‘captain’ ? .
PS: play in blockbusters!!!! bye!
i really love naughty fied
Hmm…
Does misscupcake love being naughtified, or does she love being the the naughtifier?
Yes, and yes.
Helloooooo Misscupycake, you little brat you.
So your saying you’re a nauti girl?
Another sailor! Your love match!
Not sure if she is a sailor. When I do my around the world cruise I plan to stop in Australia again and take her sailing in Sydney harbor.
Do you have a ships cat, Jack?
If not, how about a Nauticat?
I’m now down to 2 boats from 4.
Selling off boats to keep business running. I have one more boat to sell off before I move south.
The yacht I want to buy in the future is this. Just need about $390k. I’m only short about $340k.
Did you change the color of the print?
Mind has changed to red also there is a WARNING WRITTEN IN RED ABOVE ALL HFW PAGES:
Warning! Your system is in danger. Your computer is in need of full scanning.
Not sure if your server has been hacked or I picked up a virus.
I have nothing like that here. Sounds to me like Che might have visitors.
{psst… check out your window, mate. Is the black van there? }
{Somebody begins pulling blinds, quickly donning the earlier-prepared tin foil caps for himself, the cat, and all the dogs. (the fish are on their own.)}
I on it, it’s a virus called ‘Win32 fake alertABL’ my virus protector says it has been deleted but the warning signs are still up.
Now it is trying to bait me into clicking on scan of my computer.
Not sure when I picked it up, today only been on HFW, CNN, Yahoo, YouTube, Hulu & BBC news. It must have been hiding for a while, just did a virus scan two days ago.
Piece of shit annoying crap, just cut me off this site after I posted, said I was redirected by another server.
I may lose contact at times. Everything that was blue is now red on all HFW sites.
You need AVG Internet Security 8 and it will do the job all the others won’t. If you can download using bit torrent, you will find Mininova. org a helpful source for this program.
You may have a virus
Damn straight I do!!!
No viruses on this site. You must have picked up a spyware program from somewhere else. It’s not a virus but a fake pop up. Don’t follow it. It’s just spyware tricking you into thinking you have a virus.
Can you do [essentially]? I use it all the time but sometimes comes off a bit arrogant because of it.
Cheers!
WHA!!!
I have had 6 subscribers in 1 hour…
and 3 in the last 10 mins…
Marina???? Have you been mentioning me on your channel latley or am I just lucky?!!
If I could offer just one tiny bit of unsolicited, totally non-technical advice. Please, a-nun-ci-ate. Your audio is fine, especially when you play clips of someone else. Your voice is a tad bit low in the the level. If you could project your voice just a tad. I enjoy the conspiratorial tone, but I miss an awful lot of your rhetoric. I’ll be watching (and Listening.)
Wishing prosperity on your endeavor.
I thought that too….. It’s because it was late and I didnt want to be too loud…. It 1:30 am now… SO TIRED!! LOL CANST SLLEP TO EXCITED ARRRGH LOL
James I wish you the best on your new channel GOD BELSS YOU
Copy cat!
I don’t get it
I think Marina should put her sexy look on for hotforwords@youtube. I think and quote like you said this is a more “organic flow” then on her page she should where more professional clothing. I mean I am shure the producers can afford some real nice sexy suits and her little glasses. I think this site should be more professional as well starting with Marina in some expensive executive clothing.
seeing marina in an executive type outfit sometimes would be hot, but i wouldnt want to see it every day
NO not every day but some days!
I’ve seen it (nice white ensemble). Definitely hot – killer…
It was also the first time I saw her new place. Nice decorations, etc. Tres classy. Real fine…
I have seen other videos and thats what causes me to see this site as noted a cleaner place. If she has no producer then give me a job. With my intelect and hollywood dreams. I think I can put the gal on top of the world. She needs some pointers we all do. I think I would be a good coach. The real deal about me is all I need is the money and I can make more money. See Ya
Sounds good to me! Please send us your resume outlining your prior successes and experience at this endeavor for consideration. Are there any other shows you can name for us where we may see an example of your work? Thanks…
Where would I send a resume?
Looks like I spelt wear wrong[above] sorry folks. I can look at expensive clothes better than I can spell. Oh I love [yachts] I can spell that!!!!!!!!everytime.
Do you know what a yacht is?
Yes I do I was made for one. I [belong] on one. I love to hit some [crests] right now. I know six months and some growth hormone and my old working ways. I would be million dollar man. A yacht to me is freedom, strenght, power and love. The mental and physical government abuse the us government has done on me would not be done on a yacht. What do you think of Azimut?
The main reason of the outfits is sex sells! Had she not done this she would not be as popular as she is now. It’s just a fact of marketing. It worked on you.
.Yes sex does sell and as you said that’s marketing. Are telling she would not be sexy in suite. I just think some nice work suits she look dynamite on this site. I liketo help her market some excutive geeks. I was not sold by the sexy appeal it was the money. I love rich women!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Marina
Would like the real history of the word, Avast!
Thanks, Mike
Yaargh! Ye ought to ha’ been here for “Talk Like a Pirate Day”, Matey!
Captain Jack is our resident salty dog and would be happy to direct you to his glossary of nautical terms and expressions. Aaaar!
Please refrain from making these racist remarks melika….. It was my county that has a rich pirate history, and also the pirate accent is our stereotypical accent…. So yes… LOL
ARRGH CARRY ARHN THERN!
cha cha, let me know of these thing via back channels for I don’t read all the comments.
Oh I had way too much grog to answer this quesion. Cheking books. Ok try this! Avast – 1681, a nautical interjection, “hold! stop!” probably worn down from Du. houd vast “hold fast.”
It’s still used today. I even bark it out at times. The tall ship Lady Washington still uses that term today. Why? Well it’s period proper and I like it! It make the landlubbers think we know what we are doing.
Anyone notist my spealing mistooks. ?
OK here is my announcement… I WILL BE DIPPING INTO MY SAVINGS BECAISE I HAVE A NEW CHANNEL YAY YAY YAY
Right please subscribe now…
http://youtube.com/fiveandahalfguys
Still using jamesingtonthethird most though..
I will be pissed if this doesn’t work out… This IS a niche!
Incase you think I nicked misscupcakes idea… I sort of did slightly…. Here is a paste from an email I sent her..
HI!
As you know, I have been doing the odd video about split personalities.. So I have now created the channel fiveandahalfguys (funny this 5 thing (fiveawesomegays fiveawesomeguys fiveandahalfgirls)
ANYWAYZ!
I want you to know that I am NOT ripping you off, OK the name is similar, and that I did sort of steal.
It’s important I lay out the differences here
* fiveandahalfgirls is you in different characters
* fiveandahalfguys is me in different mindsets, some reflect my own mindsets.
* fiveandahalfguys is taken because I love your name and I hope our channels can be brother/sister lol!
* also it seems like channels that end in s seem to be partners alot.. venetianprincess smpfilms nalts hotforwords etc.
* I wanted to do something like this for a while , but truthfully yes, I did steal your idea of doing it on a seperate channel
* The half, part is 1 quarter you, and 1 quarter Marina, the 2 most influential people to me…
I LOVE ALL YOUR VIDEOS!!
fiveandahalfguys is me just as me…. the voices will always stay the same….
I really hope sometime we can do some sort of collab, but until then just know I am not trying to rip you off and although it may seem like I am copying you…. Deep down, i’m not really.
I really hope you get the recognition and success you deserve to go with all the effort you put in your videos!
James
xx
James – it certainly does appear that Miss Cupcake was first with this idea and that your new channel is a knockoff.
While you had some parallel ideas, it looks like deep down you are actually infringing on her creation. Sorry to tell you like it is, but there it is.
Thanks Doug. As I said, I did steal the name a bit. I have just noticed though, I have not explained the characters.
1 ADHD me… I have ADHD, so it’s not hard for me to do this
2 Depressive me.. Sometimes I am all down…
3 Thoughtful me… the kind of person that measures how many atoms there are in a cup of coffee
4 stupid me… Does things that puts me in difficult spots
5 funny me.
Whereas misscupcake has five different people with names. Mine are just me in five different moods.
I can’t remember if I uploaded it or not… But did you ever see my video where I had a split personality? I don’t think I did upload it actually because I can’t remember much about it… But, that was before fiveandahalfgirls.
I would probably have done something like what I just have anyway, but I didnt think about doing it on a seperate channel.
I understand what you mean…. I know that you won’t be the only one saying this too.
I don’t actually think MC minds… She accepted my friend invite so…. Anyway!
Can’t think of anything else…
James.
lol
That’s funny james… Well in that case go for it!
i cannot view the videos on this site, what flash player is needed to view them, urgent.
Flash player 9! GO GET IT!!

OMG FLASH PLAYERS DEMO IS SOME HARDCORE STUFF!
Shockwave or Adobe’s latest player should turn the trick
I think Marina should put her sexy look on for hotforwords@youtube. I think and quote like you said this is a more “organic flow” then on her page she should where more professional clothing. I mean I am shure the producers can afford some real nice sexy suits and her little glasses. I think this site should be more professional as well starting with Marina in some expensive executive clothing.
A place you should start looking is at the 400+ videos she has produced already using the formula she created. You will notice she has greatly modified the format since it’s premier. Marina is the producer and wholly owns all of the content. There is no staff, save for those of us selected to be assistants. It is a one-woman show. This is what makes Marina a unique talent in a venue where shows which are lavishly produced by others, fall short. She collaborates with others from time-to-time, but they’re all grassroots productions. You have only just found this site, so there is much for you to learn. Take some time and see where it has been. You may have second thoughts about some of your ideas.
hi,
I would like to request the word [rocket].
thanks!!
you have some great videos!
JUSTICE AT LAST ON YOUTUBE!!!!
I got a fake partner suspended!!! WOO
He made all his own views and paid someone $400 to give him 5000 fake subscriber accounts!!! HAHA!!
Youtube have gone up a bit in my books now… I really thought they didn’t give a monkeys arse about anyhting.
You have a link to the story?
I do!
http://help.youtube.com/group/youtube-issues/browse_thread/thread/dafb85340f6cf1a8/06187a75f73f26ff?hl=en-US&lnk=raot
He said on his new channel that he didn’t know why he got suspended
So I had to email him this
Good freaking blood hound work James! I hope the guys learned a $800 dollar lesson. Oh wait that might have been allowance from his rich mommy and daddy.
So what led you to investigate him? I wonder how many others became partners and were never caught?
I found him because I was looking on the net at ways of getting subscribers etc when I came across his offer, I was shock to see people can actually do this stuff and get away with it!
I am getting a lot of “friend” requests from folks showing many subscribers. When I like what I see, I approve it.
These appear to be from people who have found my page and share mutual interests, so it’s all good
But will you be my first subscriber?!
THis is a fan letter.
Alpha numeric atomic theoretically sound symbols A-z can be explained starting with The letter Y is a compromise of 5 vowels and 20 consonants. We have five senses and twenty digits of fingers and toes and thumbs and fumbs.
Planetonometric alphanumbericality… Imagine centering the C of the alphebet at the center of the planet. Ground the O at the ground beneath your feet. Top of the sky the Y of the alphebet.
The a, b, centered c, d,e,f, gh, the light and sound we can and cannot sense. goodness and greatness, hunger, I , joules, kilo joules, elementatoe, people, quests, ReaSonabiliTy, uv, x,y, and the zed zees so we can sleep at night meteoroid, meteorite.
The ordination of aborigin and abolition does not come up here in waranteed lands but we are all balanced/valanced so. Orderly of right and loyal.
I little valentine in this letter somewhere for you…have fun.
next time maybe i will tell you about the numbers…clue…O’s and Zero’s coincide with ones and i’s and dare i compare s’s 2’s zed zees and fives?
not to mention e’s and 3’s and me’s and we’s…!
So, have you figured out the word, or what?
Your monologue sounds like a mescaline dream……
I would like to request a word Maria.
The word is: [roentgen]
Please do a lesson on this? Thank you.
There would not be much of a challange to it. You can read about him here. He was born Raymond, but didn’t like the name and had it changed to Wilhelm. His contemporaries thought this was a little pretentious and nicknamed him Ex-Ray, which irked him no end.
It’s true, I tell you.
I would like to request a word. A lot of people are using this word nowadays, even though it was unknown a week ago! That word is…
drum roll please…
…
…
Spectrial!
(In case you have missed it, this is a name given to the Pirate Bay trial.)
But… why is it “spec”?
spec = spectical
I am skeptical.
Can you all rate my error video for a laugh. Give it 5 stars and comment saying how great it was just for lols
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLrxVXzz2dI
OK – done
dullard. I think…by the way like paydro sativa, i would like to know about the word [cannabis] names of drugs have interested me, i want to know where all the different names for the drugs comes from. Also, i have sent you a friend request on youtube, i have the same name
Hmmm…. I learned that in 8th grade Biology
Phylum, Genu, Species etc. all from Latin
i do not understand this “guess the word game XV” will someone explain it to me so i can participate, thank you.
vernon olson: I think, after you log in…you guess Marina’s word game. If and since, you have got a name…she has it now, too. Stage yourself to play along with HotForWords
Enjoy and have a good stay*****
still not sure? just guess words, random? i am pretty dense, please explain more, thank you.
On the first page of comments, The clues given are paraphrased in writing for those who are having trouble. This is the most difficult game Marina has put up – a real challenge. If you look in the Words/Lessons pulldown menu, there listed are the previous 14 GTW lessons, to give you practise, Hm’kay?
vernon olson: Is everything working? water of life..fly to the sky
Watch Marina’s video lesson and she will give you clues. Then when you think you have the answer just make a comment here like you did last time with your answer. She then will at random pick a winning answer.
wow this is hard!!
Yup! Day 2 and no correct answer, yet
Is there any relationship between the origins of the words: comrade and camaradarie? (I was having a hell of a time spelling the later when I finally realized it was spelled quite differently than the former.)
Just curious; Is your spelling on par with your etymology? Do you have to hit the spell checker often?
And perhaps you could do the Etomology of Etymology; oh wait: Do I have that backwards? Better go back to the Oxford. . .
Look at the lesson on Philology (Marina’s first lesson).
Use the Words/Lessons button on the pulldown menus for even more videos
MAUDLIN
I just bought my own computer at Wal-Mart for only $500. I got a DELL Inspiron 530 (last one off the shelf), and I will be hooked up to the internet Monday afternoon.
I looked up the specs on your Dell, it sounds like a very good machine. You’ll be zooming in no time.
That’s more than three times what I paid for my first car. I sold it a year later for what I paid for it. Try that with a PC.
dullard. PLEASE PLEASE I BEG OF U PICK ME!
i would like to know about the word [cannabis] and how it came to be called so many other things thank you
Things like … rice?
Yup, it’s true! Google it
islame

dullard i think
Ecology
I’m stuck, so I will guess:
***MAUDLIN***
ok – please explain how MAUD satisfies the clue regarding 2 things in the picture?
The old lady is almost certainly called Maud, as is her cat, whom she named after herself, and who is hiding underneath her ample skirt.
A closer look at the picture of Maud?
Arthur Quiller-Couch, ed. 1919. The Oxford Book of English Verse: 1250–1900.
Alfred Tennyson, Lord Tennyson. 1809–1892
Maud
COME into the garden, Maud,
For the black bat, Night, has flown,
Come into the garden, Maud,
I am here at the gate alone;
And the woodbine spices are wafted abroad,
And the musk of the roses blown
***** go to the site for the rest*****
http://needled.wordpress.com/2008/12/10/maud/
The word is Overuse
The word OVER does not answer the clue regarding the picture. Try, try again
i would like to requests a word [Rape] was it always a word referred to as sexual assault or did it have a def meaning at one point in time.
Its like an illegiti.mate…illgotten and then the mind aborts. Aboriginally speaking of life, the genesis of such an act of [war-fair]
: it saves life from genocide 
. As goes it; the genitor, makes his heat into saving mankind. 
flowers are now passed, to the hostRapeseed flowers 
…free peace
i researched and i come to conclude that there is no answer to the riddle.
