    lol i like the yiddish word for it lol nuchslep

  3. I never have been a chaperone. In grade school, there were dances that were chaperoned. I do not remember there being chaperones with hoods. I have noticed that there have been people with hoods on their sweaters and they have been wearing them even when unseasonably warm. Strange behavior. Wait a minute, when I was a vicar in Illinois and then Minnesota I helped coordinate youth events. I suppose you could call me a chaperone for these events.

    Don’t cover that beautiful face with your hair! ;)

    Where did [catfight] originate when referring to 2 women fighting?

    When I did some work in Mainland China in the early 1980’s, I had a chaperon when I was invited to the Friday social gatherings in Harbin. These were like dances but the protocol for dancing with a young lady was quite involved so I did not take the chance of treading on any local taboos. Still, It was quite interesting to watch how a meeting was set-up between single people.

    I have not been one but my mom was one for my school dance :neutral:

  6. hs4mm says: 98

    Marina, how about us be bobbasheely?

    • hs4mm says: 98.1

      .

      Marina,

      What’s the origin of the [adjective form of bosom, as in "bosom pals" -- meaning close or intimate]? Also [soul mates].

      What I find really strange is that the woman being interviewed at http://wordsmith.org/chat/dare.html mentions a “Choctaw phrase, itibapishily, which means ‘my brother, with whom I was suckled.’” as being the root of the word “bobbasheely … a noun, meaning a good friend, or … a verb, meaning to associate with someone in a friendly fashion.” — but she is totally silent about any connection between bobbasheely and the regular English expression bosom pals!

      I find it more likely that bobbasheely may have come about when somebody tried to teach a Choctaw Indian the regular English expression bosom pals!

      –hs4Mm

    Thanks again :wink:

  11. Hello my dear Marina,
    First off, I received your calendar as a wonderful birthday present and now will have to have a new one every year! Shameless commerce indeed…
    Word/phrase request please…. I was reviewing the “Life of Riley” lesson and was reminded of the phrase [Kilroy was here] I think the U.S. troops wrote this expression in their travels in WWII… Who was Kilroy and how did this expression get started?

    Kind regards,

    Sparks

  12. shlumph says: 92

  19. James says: 85

    Shouldn’t a new lesson be up by now?

  20. paulhenry says: 84

    Oh, Hi Marina… I was just thinking of something quite interesting that you might like to investigate and enjoy telling us about. I was thinking about onomatopoeic words and how animal noises are onomatopoeic (you know “quack”, “woof”, etc.). This made me realise that onomatopoeic words are language specific, for instance, in English a rooster says “cock-a-doodle-doo” but in Italian it says “ki-kirri-ki”, and I think in Japan, dogs say “wang”! Do you think you could do something on [onomatopoeic animal noises in different languages]?
    Thanks… I know I’ve said this before, but I love your lessons.

    Hey, just read that [Slav] derives either from слава or слово (slava or slovo, “glory” or “word.”) How appropriate — Slavic Marina and her glorious words! :grin:

    I would like to request the word [dork] girls always tell me I’m the cutest dork and I’m not sure how to take it they say its a compliment but I’m curious.

  27. bsomebody says: 73

    It is time for my favorite quote of all time. You get extra points if you can guess who it is (plus, knowing the author totally gives it a new meaning.)

    It’s a wonder I haven’t abandoned all my ideals; they seem so absurd and impractical. Yet I cling to them because I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart. It’s utterly impossible for me to build my life on a foundation of chaos, suffering and death. I see the world slowly transformed into a wilderness. I hear the approaching thunder that, one day, will destroy us too. I feel the suffering of millions. And yet, when I look up at the sky, I somehow feel that everything will change for the better, that this cruelty too shall end, that peace and tranquility will return once more.

    2 :cool:

  28. niteowl says: 72

    I’m really hoping for a new lesson today.

    With everything going on today from Bernie Madoff to the AIG bailouts and our “wonderful” congressional representatives in D.C., isn’t it about time we had the word [swindle] as a lesson?

    That was the nicest word I could think of. All the others might be censored :?: :wink:

  29. jlamb10 says: 71

    Very funny, it actually means the encroachment of one group on others through established authority.

  30. I really love your videos and the words you explain the orongs of,without you we all would be lost :smile:

    I was wondering what is the origin of the word Satanism

  31. Where did the word [jail] come from. Thanks

  32. I was wondering the origin of [http://] came form, or stands for… I know this is not considered a word… but please inform me on your knowledge of the subject… thank you very Much!!

    • alex says: 68.1

      hypertext transfer protocol.

    • Some further info: Whenever you use the Internet to reach another site, you must specify the service by which you wish to reach it. Each service has its own methods (or protocols), so it must be spelled out to the next node higher up the chain, which for you is your ISP. If you don’t, it doesn’t know how to interpret your request.

      Some services are World Wide Web, Newgroups, E-mail, file transfer protocols and as many more as anyone is willing to invent and get others to use—it always “takes two to tango.” Each service has its own client and server software that generates and understands the protocol used by the service. The code for WWW is “http”. As it happens, that is the most popular service, and, in fact, has grown so popular that all the other services have been eclipsed to the point that they may be replaced by Web applications or at least made accessible via Web. They still all exist, but most people don’t use them directly any more.

      For example, someone may use the E-mail service to send a msg and it will be transmitted over the ‘Net by means of the E-mail service, but the receiver my choose to use a Webmail provider (Hotmail, G-mail and many others), which will receive the msg, hold it and make it accessible via the Web. Now take two users, both using different Webmail providers. Party A goes on the Web, uses Hotmail to send a msg to Party B. Hotmail puts it on the E-mail service to send it to G-Mail. Party B uses the Web to look at it on G-Mail. So two users have not touched the E-mail service, because their Webmail providers “translated” it for them. Both users don’t need to have true E-mail client software; they just look at it on the Web.

      Similarly, the Newsgroups service (which is how everyone broadcast text to the world before the Web existed), has had its text made available via the Web. There are Websites that allow you to look at it all, so you don’t need Newsgroup client software. One reason to do this is that every service you use must have the client software installed on every single PC you use, which is not always the case. However, everyone has a Web client (browser) installed, even the lowly library PC.

      The ‘Net is the river bed, the Internet Protocol is the water flowing in the bed, services are the boats in the water, the content (Web pages, E-mails, etc.) are the cargo in the boats. The http (or other protocol identifier) tells the longshoreman which boat to put the cargo on. The URL tells the boat the name of the dock to go and is translated by DNS into a dock number. Your ISP bill rents a dock and pays for an unlimited amount of any kind of cargo to be sent anywhere the river goes to anyone also renting a dock. The more money you pay, the faster the boat goes.

  36. Hi Marina,
    “You can’t control what Life brings to you, only how you respond to it.”
    This saying is what defines you! Best wishes on continued success and happiness.

    I would like to know the origin of the term [smart Alec] -or Alek; Aleck?
    Thanks

    • Evan Owen says: 64.1

      Obviously named after the Russian czar Aleksandr Nevsky. Originally, the term was one of praise — “smart” meaning intelligent or clever. Nevsky was famous for luring the invading Teutonic Knights onto a frozen lake to do battle — whereupon the ice broke beneath their weight and they were all drowned. Thereafter he was known as “Умный Александр,” smart/clever Aleksandr.

      Unfortunately, the meaning of the phrase “smart Alek” degenerated to describe someone who only thinks he is clever, for example, um, yours truly. :sad:

      It’s true, I tell you! :mrgreen:

  37. ccstew22 says: 63

    hey HotForWords, where did the word [cougar] come from? I’m talking about an older woman that dates a younger man being refered to as a cougar.

    Lady Marina
    and Russian comarades round here,how do you understand this?
    (Matir S´va)
    Sonce vashe dnys v´khodyt
    I pershyraz hrije vashu tvarj
    Dnys jem vd´khla zhiznj
    Shto rozcvitne k Iriji
    Ty Slavjan, ohni tvoji budut hority
    Doklja nevyhasnut zvizdy
    Ostanesh ty na viky v pamjati
    Doklja budesh vsperaty ruky k nebesam
    I spiv tvij perebihne vremja
    Zvuchaty bude k vichnosti
    I rika priplave
    I vitor priduje
    I zemlja v´stelit kroky tvoji
    I nezhasne nikoli ohinj tvij

    (Slavjan)
    Idu Svarozheju stezhkoju
    K pohljadu istochniku chistoj voli
    Pidnymajesh k meni ruku
    I krov rozohrilas´ v mojich zhiloch
    Obnimash mene svoje djitja

    I ja vo istinu ozhivljaju
    D´kh horiachi otkril mi ochi
    I ja stal vrashchatj mir

    I vot, uzh teche k meni rika
    I vitor duje z nebes
    Nese kroky zemlja chorna
    I ja zahoril vichnym ohnjom
    Od teper ja na vse Slavjan
    Pisnja bohiv vynese mene k Iriju
    Sojedinnjus´ s sotvoreniem
    I sam stanu pisnjou
    Kotra zvuchit na slavu
    O matir S´va

    (Matir S´va)
    Slav zhiznj, u tvojich nog vse vremja
    Idji i hovori o velichanom rodu
    O vozrozhdeni slavy

    Spivaj djitja
    Spivaj pisnju
    Spivaj zhiznj
    Vo vichnu slavu

    Pobjesh sudjbu, svitlo znovu znajdesh
    Odnajdesh mij davnyj spiv i vernesh mi zhiznj
    Potim uvydysh sklanjaty sja Svargu
    I dotknesh sja sonca

    (Slavjan)

    I zyshla Mara zo svita vichnoho snihu
    Vzjala s soboju moroz i palila nym
    Suche listja shto nedalo rukam sonca

    Shtob´ spival vo slavu bohiv pisnju
    Slava matir S´va

    • Evan Owen says: 54.1

      Speaking of [Slav]…Славние слвянские слова! :mrgreen:

      • well many linguist say Slav-comes from Slovo-word

        • Slovo => Slav, i.e. people who speak the same words; as opposed to the Slavic word for German, “nemetski,” literally “dummy” or someone who cannot speak intelligibly. (My apologies, PK!) :razz:

          • well where the Slaven,Slawian,Slovan,Sloven really comes from nobody knows,there are many theories but non oficial /since diferent tribes use to have diferent names such as Venedi/
            as for germans the info is almost corect-the story goes:
            when we met /or our borders met/german tribes all of us where speaking one language /if you look on the map you will see that it wasnt so easy to met tribes with diferent languages since our territory is the biggest/ but we didnt understand german blabering….
            so we first called them -NEMAJCI- of wich it became -NEMCI /c=ts/
            NEMA JAZYKA=NEMAJCI=NEMCI -THOSE WHO DONT HAVE TONGUE /LANGUAGE/

  47. I would like to request the word [aleatory]

    Thanks in advance!

  48. Does anyone know what the clues, i – s – m, stood for? I thought it was a clue that the ism should be suffix instead of a prefix. What a goose chase, chasing isms!

    • Capman911 says: 52.1

      Those were letters that did not go into the puzzle. If you noticed when she put them up she would put an x over the top of them . That was a clue not to use that letter. The “a” in the box was a clue to use it.

  50. Did you say older women wore the white chaperone? Kakaka . . . why you’re not old, but protecting the chastity of young women is a noble cause. After seeing your very attractive picture with a more natural hair color, I wondered how your blond chaperone is working out? :lol:

  51. tew says: 49

    Hi,

    I would like to request the word [megalomania]

    Thanks :-)

  52. Dear Marina, Thanks for your reply,I imagine most people would like to see me dead, jajajaj.
    For all this years I been working on other inventions.
    You can see some incredible stuff at youtube.
    Hzuccarelli, is my name there.
    The other inventions are as thought to sale as Holophonics Tm.
    They are :
    Holophonics Speakers TM (love to build you a pair someday).
    Holophonics Headphones TM ( watch out for the normal ones they can destroy your hearing!!!
    Holorama Tm. is the equivalent to Holophonics TM but for the eyes.
    ( did you ever notice that 3D pictures look cartoonish?).
    I resolved the problem, by studying the human eye.
    Holorama Tm its the same look as holograms ,but done with cameras.
    I will love to start filming documentaries, around the world with YOU as a host.
    The first in Russia , about people and costumes, then , China, Hawaii, New Zealand, etc( also recorded in Holophonics Tm).
    I would like to work with you on your calendar in 3D Holorama Tm.
    You has been an inspiration, I would like to reach as many people as you do.
    They genuinely love you ,follow you and ,I imagine, dedicate a big moment of they’re life to better thyself just on the thought, that you may approve on they’re improvements.
    My big crash with my teacher of physics on the university, made me apply myself to be the best in the class.
    I still seat at the first line, on my desk following my favorite teacher, as she bring me a puff of fresh air every time I log in.
    I love when she tell me BE GOOD!
    And I really , really try to better myself just in the case.
    You Really make my day Marina!.
    Thanks.
    Say hello to GORBY.

    Dear Marina, I would like to know the origins and use of the word [huckleberry]. As used in the phrase,”Who’s your [huckleberry],” or “I’ll be your [huckelberry].”

    Today is misscupcakes birthday!

    Can we all go on twitter and send her a happy birthday ?

    @misscupcake

  55. r0bw00d says: 44

    I was wondering, Marina, where the word cooties came from.

  56. lol! I was assigned a Chaperon in the 6th grade; my ex girlfriends parents are devoted Catholics and didn’t permit her to date without a chaperon until she was 18!! lol! yup, it was interesting while I was trying to get some us time and convincing my mom to take a hike! :roll:

  57. would a chaperon in Catholicism be a scapular; since i know they where used as clothing in medieval times?

  58. MCLIJazz says: 41

    I was assigned a chaperone on field trips I (and my classmates) went on in school.

  59. Make it harder? So far I have not guessed a single one. Well, I guess making it harder couldn’t possibly make a difference, could it? Zero minus anything is still zero.

  60. big ed says: 39

    HELL NO! I’ve got enough issues as it is, Lady Marina :eek: Just goes to show you how backwards and sexist the Moral Majority was/still is, as anyone w/ half a brain knows, girls are just as naughty as boys. The difference is you females are usually smart enough to play it off like y’all could really care less what, if anything, happens. :wink:

    Phrase Request: [moral majority] seem to have forgotten where it came from…

  61. I would like to request the word [vagabond].

  62. swampwiz says: 37

    Marina, I’m sure that if you were a teenage lass, and I showed up at your квартира, your papa would instantly know that we would require a chaperone. :twisted:

  63. doolittler says: 36

    Where did the word [Camel Toe] come from????

  64. I’m sorry, I have a bandage over a scratched eyeball. I meant 0.32. Anyway…?

  65. Warren says: 34

    Hello Marina,
    I like the weekly update that you’ve started it’s an added bonus.
    As always congratulations to the winners of the GTW game.
    I’ve been a chaperone before on several occasions. I felt awkward each time. As for me? Che Volay asked the the perfect question, “Does a probation officer count as a chaperon? :???: :mrgreen:

  66. Marina, is that YOU at about 1:08???

  67. Evan Owen says: 32

    Homework:

    Yes, 1971, I was in Guadalajara at a nightclub dancing with the beautiful, enchanting, black-haired, dark-eyed, chocolate brown Magda Avila Ramos…with her mamacita sitting in the corner, keeping a watchful eye on the gringo who was so obviously entranced with her daughter. :lol:

  68. mengesb says: 31

    I think you should do the history or origin of [asshat] which is a common nerd insult word. There are lots of funny articles online about supposed origins, but it would be interesting to really find out its true origin.

  69. What do you call cheese that isn’t yours?

  70. renepayback says: 28

    wow i give up my word request ,i didn´t realize there is a word requested every 5 seconds :lol: i could wait till im 80….

    pozdrav zo Slovenska.
    Slava

    • Evan Owen says: 28.1

      OK, I’ll take a shot at this:

      “Great work you do here!!! The world needs great people like you.
      Greetings from a Slovenian.” :grin:

      • brate ,Slovinsko a Slovensko eta 2 zemlje / daj bog kako by ove zemlje byli 1-Slavia/ ja sam od drugoy zmlje eto Slovensko

        Slovenia and Slovakia are two diferent lands ,i am from the second one its Slovakia :lol:

        p.s. i will look for a sexy video for you about that :mrgreen:

        • Izvinete, molya! (Forgive me, please!) In English, we use “Slovene” and “Slovak” for the two peoples, so when I saw “Slovenska” I thought of Slovenia. I should have checked (no pun intended) — or perhaps guessed from the “.cz” in your website name.

          “Slovinsko a Slovensko” — wow, those names are close. :smile:

          • Slovensko: Slovaci-man,Slovenky-woman
            Slovinsko: Slovinci-man,Slovenky /Slovinky/woman
            from Sloveni,Slovieni
            actually if you look on wikipedia for a song HEY SLAVS -you find there names or expression of Slav in every Slavic language -its an unwriten anthem of all slavs…
            same as me you can not know everything not everybody is perfect…
            still i SMEKAM or KLOBUK DOLU /if you find out what this expresion means-i put my hat down/coz you dont find many Welsh guys speaking any Slavic language

          • OK, I found “klobúk dolu” meaning “hat down” as you hinted! (In English we say “hats off” to someone.) (I got “no such word” for “smekam” :sad: but they probably don’t include all the forms of verbs.)

            Gan fod ni y Cymru Cymraeg yn tyfu yn ddwyieithog, mae’n hawddach ini dysgu ieithoedd eraill / since we Welsh grow up bilingual, it is easier for us to learn other languages. :smile:

          You are right, I am American with Welsh ancestors, not a Slav. Spanish and Welsh are my second and third language; I know only a little Russian, just enough to get me into trouble. :lol:

          • Welsh is good /i know few sentences in Gaelic-since im also interested pretty lot in Keltoi culture/
            Welsh,Irish,Scotish-higlanders,the keltic mentality,culture,traditions,music is pretty close to slavic….
            and my honour goes out coz you wont find many Americans who are interested in russian /personaly i didnt meet one who would be interested in speaking other language-since i work in hotels for 10 years and everyday around 200 americans go through my hands…/
            for that you have my respect

          • renepayback, here’s a good joke for you:

            Polyglot: someone who speaks several languages
            Diglot: someone who speaks two languages
            Monoglot: an American. :lol:

        • Also, reading your comments, I would NOT use the word “glupy” to describe you! :grin:

          • as our martial art /Rusky rukapašny boj-systema/ teaches us its better to look glupy coz you enemies will think they are something better and will not count on your skills and powers,everybody is an possible enemy :mrgreen:

      renepayback, where did you hear that “there is a word requested every 5 seconds”?

      • man in here we sometimes use sentences that are not true-i dont know the english word for -zveličovat-it means to make something bigger then it is- for example in this case it upgradet the nonsense for me to stend in line and wait until my word is picked up,since i guess there wont be many who ask for the same word i do.
        no matter that the reality is 1 request every hour wich can make it profimatly 24 words per day and that can be some cca170 words per week so Lady Marina has a hard job to choose one word wich is most interesting-instead of this you just write every 5 seconds….

        i start to understand why are Slavonic languages the hardest to lern for outsiders/non-Slavs :lol:

        • renepayback and hs4mm, “every five seconds” is what in English we call a “figure of speech,” an exaggeration used to express an idea. I knew what renee meant: word requests are being made all the time, many more than Marina can do videos for.

          [Slav] :smile:

          Are we “slavishly” addicted to HFW? :mrgreen:

          • addicted? why… sometimes i found here interesting stuff,and its good to watch it for our work /nothing interesting :mrgreen: /

            like the word soccer -i was pretty surprised by that…while you can probably imagine how we react on that word since we use football
            or as we call it several names-fudbal,kopana,nogomet and i think Polaks say pilka nozsna

        • zveličovat = “exaggerate” po-angliski. :grin:

    Isaiah 30:14
    And he shall break it as the breaking of the potters’ vessel that is broken in pieces; he shall not spare: so that there shall not be found in the bursting of it a sherd to take fire from the hearth, or to take water withal out of the pit.

  73. sonafets says: 25

    I would like to request the word [cashew]

  74. Seems weird to me about how’n everyone got to figuring out “chaperone” on both sites like that. Well, congrats to russianboy and the other winner :!:

  75. renepayback says: 22

    Privet .
    [slav] – slavian,slaven,slawien,Славян
    how ever you wish to write it,you know what i mean.
    i already asked for this word…i know hard job to satisfy everyone…
    maybe one of the hardest word to explain since till today nobody really explained this word,since the linguist don´t know, maybe its stupid of me to ask for an explanation…
    anyway i will keep on asking for it if it should piss you off tell me i stop asking.

  76. I love your weekly update idea, Dear Teach. Thank you. And beautiful photo! (Are you sick of hearing me say that everytime? Tough!)

  77. PageDoll says: 20

    Marina,
    Thanks for the email update and the nice pic. :smile: :wink:

  78. James says: 19

    Marina, Can I have a update… I don’t know… about every…. 5 mins? :lol:

  79. bsomebody says: 18

    Okay kiddies. Let’s everybody remember to:
    1) Watch th YT vid and leave a comment.
    2) Click on the ads in the HFW and YT pages.
    :neutral:

    • bsomebody says: 18.1

      and 3) Check your e-mail for a new HFW update. I just got mine in the last few minutes. We get a cool pic of the Lady in a bikini, and she will “keep us abreast” of changes to the site. :roll:

      coolest of beanz, yo. :cool:

    I wouldn’t say I’ve been assigned a chaperon, but I’ve dealt with the kind of Evangelical mental bullshit preached by “born-agains”. That whole public vow of chasity and their attitudes against relationships was too much of a weight for me to carry all these years. It did enough psychological damage that I became a turn-off for woman because I wasn’t considered “perky” or “confident”.
    So many years of loneliness, slowly shaking off what I have been told back in high school… I feel like they screwed up so many chances of what could have been. But then again, just about everyone is screwed up about the idea of sex.

  81. John says: 16

    I have not knowingly been assigned a chaperon.

  82. Congrats russianboy….too bad it’s a [ruse] by the new KGB to monitor your activities.

    huh, wha?, why did this song just pop into my head again–it’s been haunting me lately

    Seriously though, if anyone doesn’t opt for the phonecall, well that’s a mancard violation and you deserve to be [poleaxed]

  83. jaybob says: 13

    Marina, don’t get “freaked out” but would you please chapeone me and my date tonight! Also, can you explain the etymology of the phrase [freaked out] ?? Finally, would you add some lips to the above symbols so I can blow you a kiss back?!

  84. seesixcm6 says: 12

    Yes, I’ve been chaperoned, before. If you had a chaperon, I think you would keep your chaperon very busy! :smile:

    Does a probation officer count as a chaperon? :???: :mrgreen:

  88. wetsuit5 says: 8

    I’m to trust worthy to need a chaperone.
    (I also have a bridge in swampland to sell you)

    • Che Volay says: 8.1

      Your automotive warranty has expired
      press one to speak to a customer service representative
      press two so our robot knows it hit on a real number

      { which we will match up later to your name and sell to every telemarketer in the world } :shock:

  89. bsomebody says: 7
