Marina,
Your Twitpic HFW gang sign – When you do it, it’s silly/cute and strangely arousing. I imagine when most of us do it, it would be just silly and strangely disturbing.
Trying to compress a video right now.. it keeps failing for some reason! Arrggghh!
I love you Marinababy.

Hi Marina,
I recently told my friend that I am stingy when it comes to giving movies I review an A Grade, but then I thought about what I said and I realized I don’t know what the word [stingy] means. Also, if the word stingy exists then what is a stinge, and why am I like one?
Thanks!~
I love your videos btw!~
I would like to request the word [fart] it is a really funny word and I want to know where it originated from

Hello, Marina. I’ve been watching your videos for some time now, and I think your way of getting people to learn what some words mean, is quite brilliant. =)
I think I would like to request a word for once.

I’d like to request the the phrase [wearing my (or [one's]) heart on my ([their]) sleeve]. Thank you very much!

Has anyone mentioned that HotForWords was voted as one of the “Top Ten Hottest You Tube Women” by the TheYoungTurks channel?
Interestingly, the female partner of that show also agreed with me that the #6 rating for Marina was way wrong and Marina should have been #1 in my book. In fact, the female host said that Marina is an interesting person who talks about interesting things and Marina is really cute. Damn straight. That woman knows a real woman!!! That guy needs serious help.
Speaking of voting; Can everyone, please vote for Marina as Sexiest Geek for 2008. Click on my name or click here to vote for Marina.
http://wired.reddit.com/sexygeeks_2008/?s=top
Thank you kindly for your votes.
Nope the first I have heard of it. I just watched it. I hate his list. Lisa Nova didn’t make the list. The guy creeps me out anyways. If I was a girl and he asked me out I would turn and run away. I could tell he is just an neanderthal man. He didn’t catch on to any intelligence of the other ladies. The other host, now she is awesome. That woman has some smarts about her.
Hmmm….
I am kind of undecided on this.The man kept saying “the sexiest” girls, but the category was the hottest. Based on sexuality, only, I think the placement is pretty close. The category was ” hottest women ,” and Lady M brings so much more than just sexuality. She is very funny, exceptionally smart (actually geeky smart,) compassionate, and has a dedicated work ethic. I think these qualities make her exceptionally hot. Maybe it is semantics again, but I see a huge difference in simply sexy and being totally hot. Based on the name of the category, Lady M is most definately the “hottest woman of YT” – period.Amen to that bsomebody !
You said it perfectly. Marina exudes the best of the best of the best in every category. Her physical attributes are only a very small part of it. It is her spirit that encompasses it all. Without that animating life force, there is nothing and that lady host is very smart in recognizing that as the Captain has said that also.
As I have said many times before;
Marina is the Hottest woman in the Universe!!!
Intelligence is Hot!!!
as i have said many times before;
you can’t fuck intelligence.
Actually, my former Italian girlfriend Sagasity Intelligencia thought I was damn good.
You are too funny.

Have you had 2 iPhones from coComment? Apaz you have.
Hey James, nooooo, I don’t gots no two iPhones from CC.
Just kiddin.
If I did, I would tell you and taunt you.
If they do send me one, I’ll let you know.
My guess is that CC will send it to the 4th runner up in the most viewed videos category which was a woman.
You are correct that I would have also received the 3rd runner up prize for number of views, but since I won in another category, they will probably award it to the next person in line after me.
So far, I have not heard from them.
I’m doing an interview with the Young Turks on Monday.. they just emailed me
Way kewl! I hope that woman interviews you, she knows a quality woman when she sees one. If it’s the guy, tell him to be nice or else the HotForWords student body will be on his case, except aLx of course, and we’ll use some big words on him we learned from HotForWords.
damn right you are.
oh yeah? like what? “awful and awesome ass & booby ain’t lame, dick!”?

Hello possums,
The oz economy is slipping into recession and last night we had an earthquake.
I’m starting to feel like a Californian.
This is just for you.
What part of California? You see, we have large tracts of land interposed between the normal persons and the whackos that live right on the edge of the continent. These act as buffers and sponges; they buffer the earthquakes and soak up the tsunamis. This arrangement comes from long years of experience living in the heartland.
Now, you have to understand that we haven’t sorted out flying anvils yet. Should they drop out of the sky, we defer to Boiseians*, who have seem to have that problem solved. (BTW, I stumbled upon this building while exploring Boise in the 80’s when it was still a school district administration building. They had just had the roof re-tarred to fix a leak and had put back only a fraction of the original thick layer of soil over-covering, giving the roof the pathetic appearance of a starving horse with its ribs—the concrete beams—protruding. Nowadays, the purpose of the thick walls and roof is not to keep the unbearable overpressure out so much as it is to keep it in.)

New (old) video uploading… Annotize.. slightly remixed. I have to make a whole new post on the website since I deleted it by mistake! (Sorry about that!).
Also.. this video is a brief lesson on the word but more of an instructional video that I said I would do for YouTube, so sorry if you find it un-interesting. I like it, as I wrote a new song for it
Actually NOT uploading. Sorry.. still problems at YouTube. Arrgghh!
Why don’t you use some other host?
Hello Captain,
Marina actually answered that question sometime early 2008 here on this site. I think it was just before or during the time that the YouTube partnership went into effect.
Paraphrasing Marina, she said something to the effect that YT was were the action is and that the payoff would be better once the partnership went into effect.
Now that a whole year has gone by since the inception of the YT partnership, and lots of things have changed, it would be interesting to see what Marina thinks today.
Yes I remember her comments last year about why she is only on YT.
I see Buckley post videos from other video host on his website. He uses viddler and blogtv. In other words if YT went completely dead it wouldn’t put him out of business. He’s a very smart man. He understands the importance of redundancy. He also knows how to put on a high quality production on the cheap. Have you seen his studio lights? He’s very good at marketing himself. I can tell he’s been in the busi before.
Yes it would be interesting to see what she thinks about them today. But Im willing to bet she wont say a thing. She is not going to comment on about the hand that feeds her.
It was interesting untill it got to the part with all the abuse.
I’ve edited that part out. So hopefully it still works as a video.
Well actually that part was interesting in that it was a good example of how it could be abused but i think for annotation to be useful i’st got to be an assigned feature. Not open to everyone on any video, or i just don’t understand the feature.
teenage fanclub live “Goody Goody Gumdrops”…new music!*!*!*!hows work?
I notice you’re doing nerd words. I also noticed you played “Grand Theft Auto IV”.
Try playing a game called “Call Of Duty: World At War” and you’ll encounter lots of nerdy words that kids think make them sound tough.
“Noob”
“Noob Cake”
“Nub”
and lets not forget “Pwn” which I think started by someone making a typo, and everyone thinking it was the coolest thing ever.
the term “Noob” which was originally “Newb” (new person) has lost all meaning now.
WTF IS YT PLAYING @ ???
http://news.uk.msn.com/uk/article.aspx?cp-documentid=14933680&ocid=today
I can still watch vids though…
You are right Marina Youtube is broken
That’s not YouTube doing that.. that’s the “main songwriters’ collection society” trying to get money from YouTube.. and it’s probably money that doesn’t exist yet so I think YouTube is forced to remove all music videos as a result.
The songwriters collection society have it all wrong. My 19 year old son buys so many albums & stuff, because he hunts for & finds music on Youtube & related sites. I’ve hunted for & found stuff I didn’t know existed. When Y/T took the Chet Baker stuff off a year or so ago, I thought “How are new listeners & fans to this great artist going to be found”. His fanbase will die out if the old ways are hung on to. Gift cards to buy music are available for downloads of individual songs etc… I know, not everything gets paid for, but with ipods etc. having room for “60k plus” songs, no kid can afford to buy $60,000.00 worth of songs. I don’t think the answer is to call anyone who has a free downloaded song on their vid or ipod, a criminal, when a guy can kill & eat parts of another bus passenger & not end up dead, or at least with a criminal record.
New artists are being discovered, such as this one, another one woman show… Theresa Andersson, who depends on exposure to expand her fanbase. If YouTube has to “turtle” & pull too many vids. they may go into contraction instead of continuing their incredible expansion.
Rant over… sorry
This is a good example for that I wish more people used the Creative Commons licenses to make it easier for people to share and build upon the work of others, consistent with the rules of copyright. The creative commons licenses and other legal tools to mark creative work with the freedom the creator wants it to carry, so others can share, remix, use commercially, or any combination thereof.
For an example of how CC license works with copyrights watch this video:
http://bit.ly/TD3iu
If you don’t quite understand there are many more videos the give you other examples of how this all works. Some are quite entertaining some are just OK but take a look:
http://creativecommons.org/videos/
I think it’s time that we the people start taking responsibility of how we protect and exercise our rights on our work.
Not all of them are removed. I tried a few of my favorites and they are all there.
*damn I closed this window on what I have been typing on
I have been reading a bit about how some of the divisions YT has been making might have a profound effect on it’s future. Other corporate videos hosts are positioning themselves to take a larger piece of pie from YT. One thing that is true in auto racing that is true in business is you get behind the lead car and wait for them to make a mistake. When they do that’s your chance to pass and take a strong lead.
What amazes me is that some video producers put all their eggs in one basket by only using one video host. To survive a technical issue in any business one must have redundancy. Airline jets have back up systems. Retail stores have mechanical machines to charge credit cards. so on so on…

Where’s the beef?
I gave out the whole recipe on http://twitter.com/captainjack63
I even gave instructions on how to make the flowering lime.
None of you fool were on twitter. Chemikal was the only HFW student there that seen it. I even explained about the beef.
I’m alergic to the pesticides in bovine products. I’m ok with small amounts but since the US farmer double the dose in 1995, I’ve been having issues. Old information states that California pesticide use data show that between 1991 and 2000 almost 2 billion pounds of active ingredients were applied in California alone. U.S. pesticide use is about 1.2 billion pounds each year, and worldwide pesticide use is about 5 billion pounds each year. Source: http://www.pesticideinfo.org
People wonder why they are sick all the time. ITS THE PESTICIDES PEOPLE!
Sorry.. anyway I use small amounts of organic beef. The idea is to keep the fat and calorie count low. That’s how I maintain my so sexy body… LOL.

Glen, thank you for your response, but [I believe there is word that specifically connotes the process of using facts that will be easily recognized as the truth to appear to validate a story that is not, and to cause the fabricated story to be accepted as factual.]
Can we make propoganda into a verb? Propogandize?
Bsomebody, thank you for your response. Certainly, propagandize can be either a transitive or intransitive verb. It is not the word I am trying to find.

Thank you, MeLikaDoTheChaCha,
I appreciate your extraordinarily comprehensive response to my question, but I am looking for a specific word that represents the specific scenario previously described.
In courts, isn’t that called an alibi? As a verb, it word be to “invent an alibi.”
Thank you, seesixcm6,
I am trying to find a specific word that is specific to the situation I described. It could be used as a component of an “Alibi”, or to substantiate the alibi, but alibi is not the word.

WORK-cale-reed[warhol]!*!*!*!Ludibrium
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Ludibrium is a word derived from Latin ludus (plural ludi), meaning a plaything or a trivial game. In Latin ludibrium denotes an object of fun, and at the same time, of scorn and derision, and it also denotes a capricious game itself: e.g., ludibria ventis (Virgil), “the playthings of the winds”, ludibrium pelagis (Lucretius), “the plaything of the waves”; Ludibrio me adhuc habuisti (Plautus), “Until now you have been toying with me.”
fun and hotforwork
I got that yesterday, too, and I almost clicked on it. THANK GOD I paused long enough for a legimate message to appear and warn me what was happening.
I got the Antivirus 2007 or 8 (can’t remember which), which basically did the same thing. This scam is run by some people in Madrid. I couldn’t get rid of it until I installed SUPERAntiVirus, which killed it.
The rule is, if anyone starts showing what appears to be a scan of your PC or says that you are infected, close the browser without doing anything and reboot. If it won’t let you close the browser, pull the plug.
I highly recommend AVG 8 Internet Security.
I never have problems anymore.
I spent several monthes comparing products like McAfee, Norton, AdAware etc. and those products all were letting infections through. None of them lived up to their claims.

This is the third lessonless day now! Are we getting spoiled?
Before my big cat—Her Royal Majesty—died, I kept Sweetie Pie at my shop and visited her every weekday. Now that I have taken her to my office (where she would live on my lap if she had her way), she tossed her cookies all over the place when I stashed her at the shop for a few days while I dogsat for my sister. Back at the office now, she’s fine. Is she emotionally spoiled now, just like us? When Sis goes to Europe in May, will Sweetie Pie deposit large peanut-brittle-like puddles all over the shop floor again? Any cat psychiatrists out there?

I hope it is not like this…—…Predestination is a religious concept, which involves the relationship between God and His creation. The religious character of predestination distinguishes it from other ideas about determinism and free will. Those who believe in predestination, such as John Calvin, believe that before the creation God determined the fate of the universe throughout all of time and space. Predestination is a decree by God that there are certain souls that were previously appointed to salvation.

Banks and Derivatives?
These four words are all interesting
Out of curiosity I looked up the word bank, at http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/bank and I got the following…
“The name bank derives from the Italian word banco ‘desk/bench’, used during the Renaissance by Florentines bankers, who used to make their transactions above a desk covered by a green tablecloth.”
But how did that word bank come to its other meanings like the one listed above? Or was this even the first meaning of bank to begin with?
Because I have come up with Banks (Financial), Bank (Turns or Shots), Bank (sea floor), and a few others.
I was a swabby, but I was a hole snipe, so I get to play. The other two types of debri are lagal and derelict. I did not know there were so many types of sea junk.

Evan it’s “daylight-saving,” not “daylight-savings” you make it sound like a bank.

Uh… When you scream out your own name during sex, by any chance, are you the only one in the room?
Now you’re getting into the spirit!
Here’s Christine Lavin’s advice: Don’t Ever Call Your Sweetheart by His Name!
(Click the blue letters to hear the song.)
The only way your friend could have that happen here is if he made obscene or inappropriate comments. Was your friend making obscene or inappropriate comments?
If so, I would likely know about that. While it is possible Marina may have seen something along those lines and taken corrective action, there is no indication of any made in the Inner Sanctum. This only leaves the possibility that the trouble is at your (er, your friend’s) end of the line.
Wordpress has a built in feature that if you post the same comment over and over again it doesn’t let you. Also, if you make comments too quickly, I think it slows you down. Most people never hit those thresh holds, so it must have must been REALLY fast comments.
I rarely, if ever, remove a comment. And I especially did not remove any in the last couple days.
Marina, I don’t like to correct my teacher, but you did mean thresholds, didn’t you?
Not enough breakfast?
She was speaking etymologically, I’m sure.
International Women’s Day is not a day to correct ANY woman. Let these threshs hold at least untill tomorrow then!
It’s funny because I was thinking about what the word consisted of and I thought.. oh thresh + hold and spelled it that way. Hmmm… good eye there niteowl
Welcome, “somebody different”! Now, if we only knew who your friend is, we could tell you how offensive he’s been! Not likely, though, that he’d be locked out for it. I’m the current title holder for “most offensive”, having received two threats of a thrashing and one of death. But I still haven’t been locked out.
That msg is received if you try to do too much too quickly. Just put a bit more time between
Enters to allow M’s 286 to process the input.Slown? You can write out all the words, you know. It’s OK. M just got a container of cheap Chinese letters in, so don’t be afraid to use them wiily-nilly (as opposed to Milli Vanilli, in which case you move your lips, but don’t actually use any letters).
You’re referring to “bsomebody,” of course. Anyone notice “bsomebody” being more obnoxious than usual? I didn’t.
Hey Evan, thanks for, uhh, having my back during my absence.
Hi Marina!
I want to request the word [butterfly]
Does it has something to do with a flying butter??

Naaa, I think it’s a permutation of “flutterby,” since that’s what they do.
The love shack is a little pace where we can get togetheeeerrrrrrrr!
Thanks for all the annotations they were great! Just making new story now..!

I’d like to know how far back the word DELETE goes, and if it had another meaning before the word processor came into being.
(loved the one about HELLO) .
I have never thought about that! I can’t think of any other time you can use delete if its not to do with computers
Could be
DE
Let (letter) maybe?
I second [delete]
well, actually I heard it said in an old film — can’t remember which one now since I’ve seen a few lately. Could have been in “The Man Who Knew Too Much”, or from one the The Avengers series of 1966. It set me aback in any case.
WOW I had a quick look. Seems it goes back to…….. 1495 !!
tell me more
the year Columbus returned to delete the ‘Indians’, was it?
HI Marina Maybe you could help out Hillary.

That’s crazy!
I realize that this is not your typical fare, and it would, perhaps, require some bleeping… but I am wondering where the term [the shit's gonna hit the fan] came from…. I didn’t see it anywhere on the list of words you’ve covered. Any help is appreciated.
Also, I thought you’d be interested in this http://photos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-sf2p/v649/217/69/742867515/n742867515_2283379_2521253.jpg

That is funny. The ad for online degrees has a section for getting teacher certification. The box to select how much money you want to earn starts at “over $40,000.” If you want to start at $40,000, then you do not want a degree in education.
how do i embed a youtube video here?
Look just above the comment box. The code that starts with a h ref is the code to insert a link. Place the url between the quotation marks and type the text between the “><”

What happened to the HotForWords annotation video? Was it removed?
It’s probably still on the server under it’s assigned file name, right where it belongs. It is probably too old to remain listed on the home page and too new to show up in the list of non-lessons (
Blog). Catch-a twenty-two-a. If you knew the file name, you could pull it up.Oh, here we go, found pt1.

thanks CampKohler
er, that’s a copy, I will find it…
About 6′ 1″ in the light.
With the time change coming, I wonder if we might get a word like horology, or something similar.
Every time I hear it, which is rare, granted, it always seems like it has something to do with prostitution. It’s a good thing some words aren’t based on their sound.
As always, thank you for your consideration. Even at such a late post.

Missing you, Marina.
Always.
I am 6′8″
Huh? Is YT hittin’ the pipe, again? I just got a notification, dated Feb 26) that I have a new vid of some retro words (pusillanimous.) Anybody else get this?
I got that this morning, too.
Spent all day waiting for a new video – not.
Whoa! just checked my email and I got another identical one an hour ago.

One way I wish to serve you is … happy thoughts, which I hope you can sense ’super-charging the Matrix’ tomorrow—International Women’s Day (a day that I’m sure was invented with You in mind!)

hi, was wondering what you make of the word [evanescence] -to fade away according to google search. but in particular, [evan] and [escence] respectively. escence seems to be a common suffix such as ‘candescence’ or ‘fluorescence’ suggesting action, but I cannot find anything for ‘evan’ other than a name. so my question is, how have these components come together to form the full word ‘evanescence’.
Evan keeps his cards pretty close to his vest.
..educa-shun…EVINCE
ewer=anchor 4#$
Evan is indeed a name – we have one in our midst at hotforwords.com, famous for his punning humour – and essence means a property or specific difference of a person or thing, particularly an ethereal or spiritual quality that defines that person or thing.
Might Evan-essence therefore mean the dying art of making puns?
Or has he gone the way of so many celebrities and given his name to a new perfume?
I don’t think you want to smell “Evan-essence” after my taekwondo workouts!

Thank you Dear !!
You might as well toss in bunny and joey. I didn’t know any other diminutives for animals until I found this, where they think M would be out of luck.

GRRR! I spent ages sorting out my vid… just looked and my bluescreen is all pixely It’s a curtain. Guess I will have to put things on hold until g can get to the fabric shop
You have to evenly light the blue (green) screen otherwise you get the pixely effect.
It was lit by the sun, but its a pale blue so I think that made it go funny, I will go out and buy a piece of bright green felt soon I think, just filmed a vid, but it needs after effects, so thats also on hold. I have got 2 good vids in the pipeline now..
STEVIE RAY & JIMMY VAUGHAN “PIPELINE” ON A DOUBLE NECK!…I worked for Steve,RIP…bless his soul

And then she stated that American democracy was older than Europe’s. Good Lord…
lol!! what a retard! And Greece isn’t a democratic socialist nation…
Marina,
Hillary should have consulted with you before presenting her “gift” to the
Russian foreign minister.
There was no mistake – LOL!

Good stereo sound effects, when the football is tossed the wooosh sound goes from left speaker to right.
It’s good you entertain this sense
I loved the way it sounded when she said “Annotize me” on that one.
Uh-huh.

Most popular looks the same as most viewed.
Marina. Why did you get rid of the annotations video?
Are ythe YT views still messed up

So short
it’s not that short.

That word was already done in a Sirius Radio Shows. One of the other TAs or students will look it up for you.
Hello foxyred322,
As the Captain said, Marina talked about that word on the 6th Maxim Radio show. You can listen to it here.
You might also be interested in watching this hot video about Vanilla. Yes, you will be surprised.
Thanks a million PK!
Not to mention its companion video, “pencil.”
Hey marina! I was just wondering where the word “Far-fetched” came from? It’s just such an odd word haha. Thanks!
– Devin
far = a great distance away
fetched = obtained from another place
An idea that is so implausible that it seems it was brought from “wayoutville.”
Try again CampKohler.
The adjective ‘far-fetched’ first appeared in the mid 1500’s replacing the earlier term ‘far-fet’ meaning forced or strained. ‘Fetched’ comes from the Old English ‘fecchen’ meaning to go and get. “Far-fetched’ describes something that was gotten from afar. It came to mean something that was unlikely or a far distance away from the truth.
Well, gosh, that’s in essence what I said. Maybe it lost something in the translation from English to uh, English.
Sure it’s similar, just a bit more in depth as M might have ventured to.
English? I don’t know anything about English. Just ask my English teacher.
Do you think it is slightly wrong to miss the old flamewar a day days? When we all went crazy about kudos… Well, there were a hell of a lot mor comments back then thats for sure lol BTW I dont mean falme wars are good either lol.
