Guess The Word Game XV Answer
Here is the answer to the Guess the Word Game XV. So many people picked DULLARD.. though I don’t know how that word is an eponym (unless I missed one of the answers?).
Just fixed the link above. It was pointing to yesterday’s video by mistake.







You don’t know where I live, how can my prize arrive soon?
Having trouble getting back on line, been knock off with virus, now problems connecting.
Che! Rumour has it that you’re stuck somewhere south of the border!!
I’m back after virus/spyware attack.
Still working out the kinks.
yeah
No, I don’t. Kudos on the parting shot where you flipped off Simon Cowell, though!
What’s the next holiday when you’re sending out another card?
Don’t get me wrong though, I’m slowly building up my own volume of notes on word origins that you’ve investigated. That is the only method by which I can lock away the knowledge you bless us all with in my memory vault.Love you, Lady Marina!!!
New video is up.
Hey Capman Could you email Marina and find out when my prize is coming. I don’t want to be a pest,maybe they have the wrong address.
Thanks
I sent her a letter and haven’t heard any thing back, so let me get up with Captain Jack and see if we can remedy your problem.
Thanks Capman. But Please don’t push it! I love this website and really don’t want to come off as a jerk. She seems so nice so does Captian Jack. It’s just nice to know I won and my name is on there.
Marina, can you suggest anything for HFW withdrawal? It’s maddening to go this long without a new video. I’m surprised I haven’t been hospitalized by now.
Does this have a technical name? I guess I should keep watching House.
P.S. We know you always do your best.
Screw simon…
Sweetheart, I would give you an oscar for the crying sceen.
You are hot Marina.
Alright, I dunno if Chacha is pulling my leg or not. Are we supposed to get report cards from dear Teacher? I’ve been coming to class for how many months, now? I have NEVER received a report card; holiday cards, yes (thank you, Lady M, they are spectacular, no matter what Mrs. Somebody says
) So what is the deal? Am I even more confused than nermal?
I never even received the holiday card. I feel completely left out. I am so depressed that I am going to embed myself in a block of concrete and then bury myself in the basement floor. (I know; it will be tricky.)
First, i want to celebrete with you the aniversary of hot for words. congratulatons, Marina!!!!
Second, i love you
Marina is that tattoo real it doesn’t quite seen your kind of thing though sorry I’d this meakes no sense typing on iPod and I can’t see what I am doing LOL
Great open line.
Gorby was buying every bit of it.
He probably shared his favorite toy after that one.
Poo on Simon.
Upset our Marina.
I’m not gonna watch that show any more.
But why the Russian Idol?
Was he trying to get your chocolate?
hi teacher here is ipatrino, i need your help I’m working on a project and i need to know what the word [abjuration] means. pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase help me.
Yo 132 [numbers]
I just got the mail notification for this lesson
Definitely not hitting the benchmark…
Do you normally get a mail notification for individual vids? The only mail notification I get is once a week (or so), with everything that has posted in the past week.
Yes – every new lesson.
That’s the tweak she’s been debugging!

Okeedokee. I filled that out… Report cards? I have never, ever, ever received a report card. Are you being fer real, or is this more of your Republican, right-wing, conservative idea of messing with my head?
report cards, yeah… it just says “cards”, now.
Does it still talk about “report” cards somewhere?
Right wing? Paul Wolfowitz, Dick Cheney, etc.?
Hella-yes!
Ah HA! It is you, you monarchist! I went back and checked my trash. You were the one who mentioned report cards in your comment, then you went back and edited it out. Tryin’ to pull that utilitarian garbage with me, are ya? I’m wising up to your games, Chacha. Be careful, or I may be forced to stick a daisy in your gun barrel.
T or F ?
Aaron Burr and Dick Cheney are the only two Vice Presidents to shoot someone while in office.
With our current Congress and President you call HIM a monarchist??!!!
Duh! ok – I read it.
This was a new notification to fix a link.
so… looks like it is making the benchmark – Huzzah!
Hey there, I was hoping you could do a little bit of research to get the bottom of the term [smart aleck]. Thanks a bunch, love your videos!
hey its me, i love your videos. please explain us the word [Ninoslav]. I am looking forward to your video answer.
Hugs
poopa
Yes, my friends and me want to know where the name or word [Ninoslav] comes from
hope you will do a video with it 
PS: I heard it’s a name for girls and boys, could that be?
Thank you for your videos
Yours Wern0r
The name
[Ninoslav]
Wow, I am having mega trouble with YT. The vids I am trying to watch are not loading or are loading really slooooooowwwly. Even worse, some of the music vids that I have favorited have either had the audio disabled or no no longer available at all. Am I the only one really getting pissed at YT, or are you cats having issues, also?
I guess I should expect that from YT, another YT SNAFU.
I feel your pain, brother. Every other time I try to enjoy my playlist, another one of the videos I’ve collected says “no longer available” or some similar BULLSHIT! It’s either those greedy pigs from the record companies
or some filthy little snitch going around flagging videos for some reason.
Word Request
[Apothecary]
Marina: Please give us the low-down on [schadenfreude].
nice video!
Russian idol at the and! funny!
I would like to request the word [satan] or [satanizim] because I really want to know if Lucifer, or Lucifero, was named after the religion or if the religion was named after Lucifer.
The definition of satanism is christian people who fake there bible works on Sunday commit sins the rest of the weak and play with weegie board on Saturday night. I really don’t think Marina has time for these vulgarer word so this is a definition that you might comprehend.
I think [satan] would make for a very interesting video. The
namejob title has some pretty cool history.I have a little pet peeve with it myself. Since the federal government conspiracy and all on my mental welfare and lively hood. I tend not to want to participate in such an evil game.
Also most all of Russian people are catholic I took as an insult to the host.
Ther will be times you see this, and other words suchas fuck, gay, pudknocker etc. requested by what we regulars call “the drivebys” (ala driveby shooting).
When you see them, let the TA’s respond.
The trick is not to get baited into a flame war, ok?
yes we have a lot of those! In New Orleans…
but , there not online.
Good morning HFW people. I think Marina is one hell of actress in this video. I bet you could really put a guilt trip on someone Marina.
not [guilty]…this is not a [text]…but, a test of good [morning]
test
Halli hallo
What do you think of this crap? HOTFORWORDS NAKED PICTURES LEAKED!?!!…”please rate and comment”, was what got me to the video
The link in the video leads to a site with 2 badly Photoshopped pictures of Marina’s face on naked women.

The body types used aren’t even close – not worth looking at
Here’s where you can leave a comment
So funny!
You need to see a plastic surgeon if you have whit boobs with black nipples
Goth boobs?
Can you imagine having a life so meaningless that you would take the time and put out the effort to do that?
I just thought…
Wouldn’t it be funny… if you said at the end of the video,
“From Russia, with Love!”
Good Night Sunshine
I don’t know why other people are having problems with the HotForWords videos not showing up in their YouTube subscription box. For me, HotForWords videos have always been displayed in a timely manner in my YT subscription box.
In fact, in the Recommendations box, YouTube has always given me one ore more HotForWords videos. Take a look at this screen shot. In the recommended section, there is one video from HotForWords and two other HotForWords videos/references provided by other YT users.
http://i42.tinypic.com/2w6b7l2.jpg
This begs the question. Maybe YT’s algorithm is all bassackwards. For YT to remind me of HotForWords videos is like preaching to the choir. Before YT catches up with me, I’ve already watched ten HotForWords videos. YT needs make sure to remind everyone else, though.
The other question that is begged, maybe some people thinking that they are subscribed here, and haven’t subscribed to HotForWords on YT, think that they should be notified of HFW videos in their subscription box, which won’t happen unless one is subscribed to HFW on YT. I know several people who made that error.
pendanticKARL: Little Walter Live in Germany (1967) #1 – Mean Old World, this was my subscribed presentation,1 and HotForWords, new one at 5…think you might like some [blues]…your work is appreciated by me
Hey leonard, than you and thanks for that video. I like it.
Good ole harmonica, love it.
Marina, that was a great brain teaser for a word. Love it. You are so funny in this video. Another interesting side of you. You always surprise me.
Marina,
…What is all this [cacophonous] racket in this video?
Simon says this sort of stuff is becoming quite [banal] and he’s tired of hearing about it.He said refer too mens rules 1 #1 & # 1
Rule #1 Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.
Rule #1
If something we said can be interpreted two ways, and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one.
and last of all Rule # 1 see rule # 1 above /\
for a list of all the mens rules see here http://www.icpug.org.uk/national/features/020702fe.htm
As too your question, I am still quite maudlin over being called a a crazy ass over in the “Cacology” video or was that just a speech impediment?
…………………….Note the above comment is for entertainment purposes only………………………………………………
…..Why yes myself , I can be quite maudlin to the point of overly guarded fear of attachment and down right cold bloodness in my responses too those I should be acceptance of.
It’s a your only gonna get back what your giving out,,, you first
See? I told you Simon was no good. I believe the word I used was “stroke”. What’s with the crying though. I thought in your original video you said that you could never be considered it refering to the word we now know is maudlin. Also, I’m feeling very satisfied that I at least got the word right. A lot of people did think it was dullard though. However, it didn’t make as much sense with the clues given. That’s a big relief. I was on the edge of my seat.
Hey webcorrupter, is that a nose on your gravatar or you just glad to see someone.
I could have gone with the red christmas tree that looks like a phallus, but no I decided to take the high road. Of course, I am always very, very happy and incredibly, and extremely excited to see a hotforwords video. Is it a nose? Is it a tongue, or a full-on, raging erection? I prefer to call it love. Besides, it’s how you use it that counts. My feelings for Marina are very deep and meaningful and I will not have you turning them into something cheap and sleazy. Marina’s message is very important and is not to be diminished by those who might point out that her top seemed to slip down just enough in this video for you to get a brief glimpse at her bra. I would still be deeply passionate about Marina’s videos even if she did them completely nude.
I meant this as a joke and nothing more. If you want to take what I said as demeaning Marina then you are picking on the wrong guy. I don’t take to kindly to someone thinking that I am here just to ogle and make fun at Marina.
I didn’t mention any names when I made that comment. If you can’t take a joke then you want go far on this site. I don’t know how you came up with the idea that I was turning your feelings into anything that was inappropriate when I don’t know anything about your feelings.!!!
I was also kidding in my reply. Sorry, about the misunderstanding. I’m not trying to be a total moron. Maybe I should have put a (kidding) or te he he in there somewhere to avoid the confusion. I guess there are a lot of people that really think like that on the internet.
That’s ok, That is what happens when you can’t see facial expressions or body language on a web site. Sorry I jumped back at you. Peace Friend.
Dullard could be an eponym since it’s a surname going back to 1225. I didn’t see it on the wiki list of eponyms though. Maybe I have a delusion over what a eponym is. It could almost be a toponym too, if Dullsville is a real place.
It’s amazing how close both answers seemed to relate to the question.
lol Russian Idol in the end
where does the word [wow] come from
The expletive or the audio term?
If she’d quit clowning, I bet Marina could sing quite well enough to be on Russian Idol!
The text link to YouTube needs to be fixed by changing
QvdmCoDxCg0toH_uW5ErNP3U.Unless she has changed it, it works for me the way it is
Gosh, I had a “deja vu” experience seeing this video! It was hard to watch you act sad, as if Simon Cowell actually said things that made you cry. I realize he didn’t say those things, and that you are only acting. I’d still like to cheer you up though, so here’s a joke:
Q. Why do men like smart women?
A. Because opposites attract.

i would like to learn were the word sexy came from
Congratulations to the Winners!
Hi Miss HotForWords (:
I would like to request the word [Xavier] !
I am Xavier Bongard. I had to take over somebodies identity so they wouldn’t take me out like Dan Osman.
Dan Osman jumps 1000 feet freefall – Guiness Book World Record
Dan was an old friend the Xavier I was just kidding about. Back in the day in Yosemite they use to get us confused people thought we where brothers.
Thanks for putting a link to him on the web page very respectful and I have alot of respect for Doug thanks
In the reply box, learn/practice here
(right above blah blah blah), is where you
learn to use the HTML to snazz up your posts
with links to graphics and video. Enjoy
Another thing that helps, is to copy the info from that page onto a word sheet. I keep this word doc on my desktop, where i can cut and paste from it. This is a handy little cheet for those of us who are technologically impaired.
Marina no worries Simon is an AAAAAAAAAA——————-hole!!!! I did finally vote for the sexiest geek you are look in hot nice! I think playboy should do a photo shoot.
great video i hate tha Simon
i would like to request the word [monster ]
Are we live? Sound check .. testing … 1…2…

Good job, Marina!
Just curious: Do you carry a swiss army knife or a screwdriver set in your purse?
I’m thinking you do! – Doug
She should I gave her one for her birthday. It was in a pink case with I think has pink handles on the tools. I think she has been tweaking Gorby, that’s why he is chewing up all his toys.
I was trying to find her a purse sized, Gucci, jewel encrusted, tool set at Christmas. I saw one once!
1.5 carats total weight… tres chic, but a functioning tool set!
You were close Doug. It’s a Russian Army Knife

Oh! My brain is feeling all dizzy! My few neurons are ticking and firing wildly in all possible synaptic directions, like fireworks! Today, I fly in the face of logic!! Yeah! Tell me about it! Come on, shoot me down with the power of reason!!!
All right. Enough cabotinage. Let’s get serious. Sorry. Honest – Ch… Erm.. Doug. Can I call you Douggy? I just couldn’t resist. I promise this is the last time I call you cha cha cha, and cha cha cha. I will compose my gesture for the future (and perhaps shave and perfume and move a little closer to these front ranks of the class, which a full of nerdy folks by the way).
You showed up in the new subscriptions now.
Yep. Showed in mine, too.
Great we are back congratz Marina. Yaaa
Number 1
Should this video appear in my YT Subscriptions …again?
Because its not as of yet.
Hey Mike it should, it showed up in both of my accounts.
Dang I thought I had a shot this time.
Good Job…wasted not

Are you a republican?

Good one, ChaCha! Congratulations from me, too, CheVolay! I’m one of the dullards who forgot the eponym part and said “dullard.”
Man, Marina really loves that top. Can’t blame her, she looks good in it.
Hey Marina,
This is the season for Mardi Gras..
I was wondering how we got to the place of [ boobs for Beads ]
One of your front row students.
I just uploaded a one min clip to YT and.. looks like THUMBNAIL CHEATING IS ALLOWED AGAIN!! WOO!
What do you mean allowed? YouTube doesn’t allow thumbnail cheating. They will flag you if you put a thumbnail that is not indicative of the majority of your video’s content.
I believe James’ definition of “allow” is whether he can get away with it or not, young rebel that he is.
Isn’t a flag suppose to stand for freedom not censorship? Noticing too how Orwellian double speak freedom allows comments to vanish in thin air for those dirty hippies.

I meant that I think youtube might have put the thumbnail at the quarter half and 3quarter points. … Will have to try it again, On my video that was one min long thumbnails were from 15 30 and 45 secs
Great one, Dear Teach! And when I first logged on and saw your face I was wondering “What the hell happened to Marina?” You got me good!
Always.
I thought the same thing! I started feeling all sympathetic
and protective,
and then, whoops, the word was ‘maudlin,’ after all.
What a clever girl.
I kow what it is but I would like to know the origon and meaning to the term [royal flush]
Oh yeah! Not even I noticed that mistake!
OMG! I HAVE BEEN MAUDLIN DRUNK!!! ONCE! then something I would rather, but can’t forget happened
Marina, you look 100% stunning drop dead gorgeous in those pictures,
Can all y’all go on my video called talking in my sleep and make a guess?
I’ll speak for the subscribers: [enchanting]
Please change the thumbnail. You look so forlorn, it’s making me feel sad looking at you look at me looking at you looking at me. Oh I feel so sad now too,
cause I didn’t win.
But congrats to Che for winning.
“Sad” Mike? You mean maudlin?
Careful, people might start naming you when they do their homework!
Nice to see you back as your cheery self!
This should be interesting.
Americans sometimes use the phrase “two bits” to substitute for a quarter (i.e. 25 cents).
Children sometimes sing, “Two bits, four bits, six bits, a dollar”, when jumping rope.
How did ['two bits'] come to mean 25 cents?
That’s an easy one. It comes from the old, “Pieces of eight,” when silver coins were cut into eight pieces (bits) to make it easier to handle and pay for goods. So then 2 pieces of 8 (2/8) = one fourth (1/4) or one quarter. Hence two bits equals one quarter.
Two bits, four bits (half a dollar or two quarters), six bits (three quarters) and lastly, a dollar equals eight bits.
grammrsnob
Thanks for the reply.
As a professional numismatist, I already knew the history of early American coinage, the lack of fractional currency and the utilization of the 8 Reales (sometimes called the Spanish dollar) for daily commerce.
I was not looking for the info, just hoping that Marina might find it interesting enough to do a video.
your not jill
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrih2hGWEZk
They showed more of Marina on that video than they did on the English version. Hmmm I wonder where we can get the whole interview?
Marina, this might piss you off… My video has showed up in the box…. Yours hasn’t
How long will HD take (on my videos)
Dear Marina, No, I don’t know anyone who is maudlin except yurself. If you are still sad, I’d be happy to hold you and hug you to me until you feel better. I’d even give you a massage! And if that doesn’t cheer you up, I’ll think of other things we can do, such as enjoying a nice dinner, and enjoying some chocolate for dessert.

I was wondering when you’d post the answer to GTW XV. I guess you were getting lots of YouTube traffic, and as long as you didn’t post an answer, you’d get lots of people viewing youe site! I hope you are even more popular, now!

Edit delink spam and moderate.. hmm lucky you marian!
Congrats Chev!
OMG I just saw the vid…. favourited by someone, I thought it was old then I noticed annotations in blue. I kept watching it again wondering how marina keeps her face so close to camera in videos and saw it only had 200 views. I would have been first if i realized lol
Dullard was first seen as a surname in 1225, and the boring sense of the word Dull appeared around 1590, and by 1960, Dullsville had cropped up from that. So, in the sense that a name becomes something else, Dullard is indeed an eponym. Just saying.
Was there any person called Dullard who was so dull that people coined the word dull to denote that Dullard’s characteristic?
For an eponym, the word has to be named after the person – not just chronologically, but causally. There may have been several Magdalenes, but maudlin is named after one, specific Mary Magdalene to denote one of her key characteristics.
Maybe this was a waste uploading my video as it is not showing up in people’s subscription boxes. Glitch at YouTube.
I noticed that, but I did not want to say anything, because I had things so screwed up last time.
Hi Marina! I was trying to upload a video this morning and it never finished processing!
So I re-uploaded it and it finished in less than 30 minutes
CRAZY
Marina, maybe it’ll appear a little bit later. You seem to have had problems uploading this video. Sometimes I have had problems watching Youtube-videos even in standard quality because the transmission speed was too slow in the last few days. Maybe Youtube has some serious technical problems at the moment.
Marina, sometimes YouTube will advise when one of your new vids is out and sometimes they won’t. This seems to have been going on for weeks now. I only know to keep ckecking both YT and HFW because I simply don’t trust the subscription page any longer.
I agree for it has done the same thing on me in the past with other people I subscribe to. This issue is nothing new to me for it has gone on for many months. I don’t even have it email new uploads for I normally able to watch the new uploads long before the email gets sent out. I don’t think this is a glitch though. I think YT has reasons for the delay.
I will look in my other accounts boxes and let you know

The planet “uranasitobama” is at loggerheads with planet “saturno-yewtewbola” which should explain the difficulties experienced here in the western hemisphere… or maybe not!
Marina,
Does Gorby’s howl actually sound like that? Have you ever heard him howl? What does his bark sound like? I do not want to ask about origin of howl, bark and meow — I guess they all come from sounding like what they represent.
Is my latest video showin up in your subscription box? Perhaps you should see what the help center has to say. I think I remember seeing a topic about it a while ago.
Marina, my YT subscription box has your video above and suggested box shows many other hfw videos. In car – gotta run, screenshots at 4am
