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?).

Also, be sure to rate and comment on the video at YouTube as that’s necessary now for my videos to be seen.

Just fixed the link above. It was pointing to yesterday’s video by mistake.

    No, I don’t. Kudos on the parting shot where you flipped off Simon Cowell, though! :lol: What’s the next holiday when you’re sending out another card? :twisted: 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!!! :mrgreen:

  5. niteowl says: 75

    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. :wink:

  6. Screw simon…
    Sweetheart, I would give you an oscar for the crying sceen.

    You are hot Marina.

  7. bsomebody says: 73

    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 :roll: ) So what is the deal? Am I even more confused than nermal?

    Thank you for your videos

    Yours Wern0r

  17. bsomebody says: 61

    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?

  21. kilgore888 says: 57

    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.

  22. 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. :lol: :razz: :smile: :mrgreen:

  23. Chemikal says: 54

    I just thought…
    Wouldn’t it be funny… if you said at the end of the video,
    “From Russia, with Love!” :-) :-) :-)

  24. 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.

  25. 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.

  26. John says: 50

    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

  27. 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.

    • Capman911 says: 49.1

      Hey webcorrupter, is that a nose on your gravatar or you just glad to see someone. :lol: :razz:

      • 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.

  28. Jeorney says: 48

    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.

  29. fatbuffalo says: 47

    lol Russian Idol in the end :lol:

  30. 244sholife says: 46

    where does the word [wow] come from

  31. Evan Owen says: 45

    If she’d quit clowning, I bet Marina could sing quite well enough to be on Russian Idol! :smile:

    The text link to YouTube needs to be fixed by changing QvdmCoDxCg0 to H_uW5ErNP3U.

  33. seesixcm6 says: 43

    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.

    • Capman911 says: 37.1

      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. :lol:

    But congrats to Che for winning. :grin: :cool:

  56. joe_numis says: 18

    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.

  57. James says: 15

    Marina, this might piss you off… My video has showed up in the box…. Yours hasn’t

  58. James says: 14

    How long will HD take (on my videos)

  59. seesixcm6 says: 13

    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. :razz:
    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! :razz:

    Edit delink spam and moderate.. hmm lucky you marian!

  63. James says: 8

    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

  64. jindai says: 7

    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.

    • hs4mm says: 7.1

      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.

  65. Marina says: 6

    Maybe this was a waste uploading my video as it is not showing up in people’s subscription boxes. Glitch at YouTube.
