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
Marina, how about us be bobbasheely?
.
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!

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
I would like to request the phrase [built like a brick shit house]
BOOGITTY – BOOGITTY – BOOGITTY!
Marina, you just got knocked of #3 most subscribed by panacea…. an english girl from up north with a geordie accent!!!
WHAT THE HELL
YouTube is heavily promoting makeup people right now. She’s great, by the way.
I wonder why?
Cosmetic companies have large advertising budgets.
The trend is companies are moving away from print ads and buying up internet advertising.
So there is your next video, record yourself putting makeup on. Then go sown to a mall & video interaction at the cosmetic sales counter.
This could also count as the embarrassing video you wanted to make.
You’ll look all so perdy dress up as a drag queen, a real beotch. lol
Hello my dear teacher:mrgreen: im am I Louis” said like Lewis :S and I have a words request which may comfound you and you may find difficult:razz: the words is said frequently where I live the word is “Yessir” *said like yezzer hope you enjoy finding the meaning. Louis x

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY MARINA!
Funny…its my real mother…birthday, er…her being born

How do you bone the meat of a mutt?
Thats bad about misscupcake isn’t it
What is?
She has left youtube forever
She had a person who was stalking her online and she was unable to ignore him. It’s a shame as she was really talented, and to let one person decide her fate is really a shame.
How rotten! Assuming she had not left any “trails” to her real life, did she just get spooked and decide she had had enough? I assume you know a little about such things, Marina.
I know, whats worse, is I think the stalker has gone now too.
I hope she can reconsider. Marina’s last sentence is right on.
What’s the object of “Top Posts”…?…10.0 Handsome 9.7 Sexting 9.3 Normal 9.3 Dinosaur Egg Found! 8.8 Sexy 8.6 Sexy Teacher 8.6[annotations]….unless I don’t get it?
.
Marina,
My understanding of misscupcake’s own statement: I think she was unable to handle the internet harassment because of a much more fundamental issue: her use of the internet to avoid face-to-face interactions — using the internet to escape reality. Personally, I am glad that she is taking a hiatus from the internet — I am glad she is confronting her fears head-on. Irrespective of whether the hiatus is temporary or permanent, she will no longer be engaged in an illusion of living but will get her life back and be really living on this earth!
The real is always better than the imagined. Good Choice, Miss Cupcake! Engage reality — FTW!
–Hs4Mm
.
misscupcake, whatever is going on and whatever you do, I wish you all the best.
Most sincerely,
Rick
yeah, hs4mm, you tell that a homeless person. i’m sure they’ll wholeheartedly agree.
can’t you people think before posting shallow-brained bullshit?
by the way, i don’t think it’s cool to talk in great length about a person in their absence. talk _to_ her, not about her.
any questions, hesitate to reply.
No that would be 2 people decide her fate, herself and the so called stalker,one person would be only herself.
hotforwords real sister! impersonation,…free kisses
You got the email about the first one, I still don’t see it posted.
It said something about “left brain people with scissors in right hand… was that the one?
Marina, this is fun! I’m sorry but Ihaven’t done my homework
thanx
Shouldn’t a new lesson be up by now?
Patience, laddie!
There’s more to life than HFW! Uhh…I think.
Hey I just watch your new video made a funny comment and then after I refreshed the page it said, “Video no longer available”
Gave you five stars just to see you all pissey with the package. lol
{Che as had the same problem with same type of blister pkg }
Someone told me that they had the same problem on my last vid…. they also had to comment twice. I still haven’t got an email saying you commented yet….Thanks for the stars!
its all crazy…hey James
No. It wasn’t someone, it was somebody. C’mon dude, get my name right.
He was talkin’ bout your toothless cousin, ’someone’
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.
There is a web site on the internet which gives all the animal sounds in their respective languages, if I find it again I’ll post the link.

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!

Hi Marina. Could you do the origin of [NITTY-GRITTY] Thanks
Does anybody know how big the building must be to house all the computers it takes to run a site like YouTube or Google ?
I’m thinkin’ like ginormous, but maybe not.
I’ve driven by Yahoo corporate HQ in Silicone Valley, I always thought all the servers where there as well, It’s a huge building.
{ Did you get any of the loot that was tossed on to the freeway? }
I wish!
No, that happened about 33 miles south of where I’m at. From what I gather though, if you were there at the right time, you could have raked it in and been on your mary way!
I have heard it said that because Datacenters generate a lot of heat and are expensive to cool, people are looking to locate them in places with cold climates such as Colorado and the Alps. Here’s plans for Microsoft’s version in Chicago.
Wow! Thanks for the links.
That certainly is amazing.
[ginormous] put in brackets and maybe she will answer.!
A separate PC for each site is not necessary. Haven’t you seen the IBM commercial where a whole room full of computers is replaced by a blade server? Maybe that’s a little over the top, but things are fairly compact nowadays.
The trouble with older servers is that the power savings gained by moving on to the next generation pays for the next generation; you can’t afford to keep them.
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.
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.)

AF & I don’t mean Air Force
Hitler? Stalin? George Flowbush?
Art Fern? Alibami Falami? Astrid Fecklemeir? Annie Fannie? (Wait… I’m getting closer.) Abdominal Fistula? Anne Frank?
It’s one of them.
Yes
{ Somebody has left for work & will not be back for eight hours }
Frank Zappa?… Billybob Diddlysquat?… Hunter S. Thompson?… Herman Munster?… Mr. Ziffel?… The Lone Ranger?… William F. Buckley Jr.?… Tenskwatawa?…
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
Very funny, it actually means the encroachment of one group on others through established authority.
I really love your videos and the words you explain the orongs of,without you we all would be lost
I was wondering what is the origin of the word Satanism
[Satanism] (Courtesy of HFW Bracketeers.)
Where did the word [jail] come from. Thanks
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!!
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.
CK, Sound like you can answer my question, before I sent my computer to a technician to solve some virus issues I could right click to ‘copy image’ (FF3, PC ) then paste in the IMG HTML as in the HFW Forum section. Now this function does not work.
So my question what changed & what must I do to get it to work again?
Tks in advance

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
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.
It’s true, I tell you!

Извините пожалыста, Богдан, я знаю, что ето не всё правда; но добрий пример “smart Alek,” да?
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.
And does it have anything to do with the fact that the young pussies don’t want to come out and cat around, whereas the cougars do?
Hmm, in Chinook jargon the [cougar] was called “hyas pusspuss.” Interesting connotations to that term…
Man. “Excuse me Madam, can I smell your pussy?”
Woman. “Certainly not!”
Man. “Oh, sorry; it must be your feet then.”
hehe. wouldn’t it be funnier the other way round, though? like, “… can i smell your feet?”

Hedge money is the amount paid to your gardener to trim your bushes.
It’s true I tell you.
Do you pull hedge money out of your hedge fund?
Can’t. Hedge Funds have been clipped. Someone madoff with all of the green. Nothing left but poor dirt.

Chaperoned is when the wife sends one of the children with her husband if he’s going some where without her.
That’s pretty good John, I never thought of it that way. Wives can be devious or just not trustworthy.

(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

Speaking of [Slav]…Славние слвянские слова!
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!)
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/
I would like to request the word [aleatory]
Thanks in advance!
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!
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.
( magnificent )
you are ( magnificent )
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?
Hi,
I would like to request the word [megalomania]
Thanks
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].”
I’ve never heard those uses. It’s either a fruit or a name (Huckleberry Finn).
[layoff]
Today is misscupcakes birthday!
Can we all go on twitter and send her a happy birthday ?
@misscupcake
[Birthday]…the horns are beeping……….***!***
How do you know it’s her birthday? I can’t see any indicator anywhere.
twitter.
Speaking of Miss CupCake, what happened to her idea of being a substitute teacher?
She said it was on fiveandahalfgirls
I was wondering, Marina, where the word cooties came from.
[cooties] (Courtesy HFW Bracketeers.)
Why wait for Marina I could help you it’s a mental disorder!
lol!
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!
would a chaperon in Catholicism be a scapular; since i know they where used as clothing in medieval times?
I was assigned a chaperone on field trips I (and my classmates) went on in school.
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.
Quote
“An inconvenience is only an adventure wrongly considered – an adventure is an inconvenience rightly considered.” – Gilbert Keith Chesterton 1874-1936
Inconvenience, inconschemnience. It’s got nothing to do with annoyance; I find it impossilbe to guess things like Scottish dresses, etc. Without guessing the word, you can’t research to see if the guess is correct. Canned rats!
You sound disguessed.
bla blahabla…
HELL NO! I’ve got enough issues as it is, Lady Marina
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.
Phrase Request: [moral majority] seem to have forgotten where it came from…
Moral Majority come from the Bible Belt
I would like to request the word [vagabond].
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.
Where did the word [Camel Toe] come from????
a camel’s foot
I’m sorry, I have a bandage over a scratched eyeball. I meant 0.32. Anyway…?
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?
Marina, is that YOU at about 1:08???
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.
Good story E O
its true
i’m sure 
recalls such
B.B.
BUT dont let that
am sure it won’t
funny how our long term memory
details
stop you
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.
What do you call cheese that isn’t yours?
Nacho cheese!
(from “not your cheese”)
Exactly! I should have known it would be you, Evan Owen.
Nice one!
Pondering…
Very interesting grammatical tree indeed. Or should I say pyramid?
wow i give up my word request ,i didn´t realize there is a word requested every 5 seconds
i could wait till im 80….
anyway:
большая работа вы делаете здесь!!!
миру нужны больше людей как вы.
pozdrav zo Slovenska.
Slava
OK, I’ll take a shot at this:
“Great work you do here!!! The world needs great people like you.
Greetings from a Slovenian.”
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
p.s. i will look for a sexy video for you about that
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.
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”
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.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VtPtfgX1olw
have a look in this video
we have almost same flags and almost same symbols on it even we do have almost same language still there is a litle bit difference
“Dakujem” (hope that’s “thank you”) for the video.
Now here’s something funny: she used a picture of a mountain that is not in Slovenia (nor Slovakia) — it is Glacier Peak, only about 100 km from where I live!
dont know ,since i never been to Glacier Peak
i though its Triglav there….

Slovinci have on their flag the 3 moutain triglav
Slovaci have on their flag the 3 moutians -tatra,matra,fatra
yes you are right its
Ďakujem,Dzenki,Hvala,Spasibo
now guess wich belongs to wich our tribes
Ďakujem=Slovak, Dzenki=Czech?, Hvala=Serbo-Croat?, Spasibo=Russian.
Do you know this one: Благодаря
p.s. -…sorry ,ja som glupy.
coz i forgot to tell you -great translation ,in case you aren´t one of us
You are too kind, since I did make one big mistake.
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.
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.
Also, reading your comments, I would NOT use the word “glupy” to describe you!
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
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
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]
Are we “slavishly” addicted to HFW?
addicted? why… sometimes i found here interesting stuff,and its good to watch it for our work /nothing interesting
/
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.
Could you do the origin of [e.g.], the abbreviation for [example]?
Thanks
WLIU, it’s Latin for something like free example.
[exemplo gratia]
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.
I would like to request the word [cashew]
Gesundheit. Need a hankie? *just josh’n*
pot head
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
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.

I love your weekly update idea, Dear Teach. Thank you. And beautiful photo! (Are you sick of hearing me say that everytime? Tough!)
Marina,
Thanks for the email update and the nice pic.
Marina, Can I have a update… I don’t know… about every…. 5 mins?
Your latest vid will not let me rate or comment. WTF? First Marina locks me out of HFW, and now James gives me the boot!
If you two keep this up, I may actually be forced to read my school books. Fortunately, mijj has not booted me. yet
Oh MY GOD WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING !!! WHERE IS THE LAYOUT !!!
I have not done anthing… what is it saying?
You have 0 ratings. I gave you your stars, but you still have 0 ratings. I made my comment, submitted it, but it disappeared.
I just got this email…
bsomebody13 has made a comment on Flo-Rida (S)low:
5stars for the cajones. Be grateful we do not rate your singing.
You can reply to this comment by visiting the comments page.
Don’t tell me this is anothe bastad “glitch”
The prob was with the “I have no clothes.” It finally let me make a post. Mebbe it was a lag or something. I had a longer post the first time, but I was too tired to post all that again. I get texthausted pretty easily.
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.
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.
coolest of beanz, yo.
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.
Good to know the Catholics weren’t the only ones screwing up kids.
Good request Che…[catholic] and [screws]
…do not abuse yourself
capes are for exscaping…lol…all GODS united
I have not knowingly been assigned a chaperon.
Thank you, Brother!

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]
Hey, watch what you say about Polaks! They’re [slavs] too, you know!
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?!
BTW what’s with the “freaky” default graphic on my comment?
Hi jaybob, you can change the default graphic to any image you desire. Click on the Help/FAQ link at the top of the page, then scroll down to Marina’s picture where it says; “How do I get one of those cute pictures next to my comments”. Just follow the directions. If you need additional help, just reply to my comments.
Yes, I’ve been chaperoned, before. If you had a chaperon, I think you would keep your chaperon very busy!

yeah..[bs]
I would like to request the word [Dangle] as in a deke move made in hockey.
Does a probation officer count as a chaperon?
Only if he goes with you on your booties calls.
Uh, HW, yeah: Yes, I have been to events that had chaperones, but I also had an awful lot of time without them. So much trouble, so many memories…
The probation officer was a she & she was the booty call
{ Who’s bad, I be bad }
Oh, Hell yeah! Let me turn my frown upside down
. Che, you just climbed up one more notch. You are Da Man! Next time I get out west, you are definitely gonna have to buy me a beer and we’ll swap stories.
I’ve heard you were out on the dance floor doing the Bump & Grind without supervision.
I’m to trust worthy to need a chaperone.
(I also have a bridge in swampland to sell you)

howdy folks!
Canned rats! Russainboy. A phone call won’t be cheap, but it would be really cool. You two could have your entire conversation in Russian.
we can talk with Skype by the way
Congrat dude, tape the call & make a parody of the conversation.
i will think about it!
Поздравление, Павел!
yea congrats russianboy.job well done.
hey congrats russianboy

so stern when telling
BUT I understand,
some
B.B. 
Marina you looked
us all to BE GOOD
students need a [tongue lashing]
HEY my first 4th yippeee!!!!
for my homework:
I am old enough to BE a chaperon 

and when my children were young i may have once or twice
B.B.
Hey bigbhd95,
Hey, I’ve been good, when sleeping.
You noticed Marina’s stern look. That was meant for me, cause she looked right at me.
WHAT&??? I AM THE WINNER&!&!&! Марина я тебя люблю!!!
What prize do you want? The phone call? The signed calendar or signed pic?
Marina! i think you won’t call me in Russia will you?
sure she will
right Marina
Sure, it will be a tax write-off. The longer that she talks to you, the more money she will save.
You’re kidding, right?
@CK – about 1/2 n 1/2. I was not kidding about the write-off part. I would think she could deduct that as a business expense. The rest of it was, well, kinda
. I borrowed that line of thought from Mrs. Somebody in her more frivolous days. She would come back from shopping, “They had a sale! Look how much money i saved us!”
I’ll call you.. I also have skype so we can do it that way as well. Message me and let me know how and when. (Remember I am on Pacific Coast time in California)
Thanks!
Marina
I’ll message you as soon as possible! ДО скорой встречи=)
Have you had any ideas on what to do with the black bar yet?
You are the luckiest person alive
No shit!
So Marina, what you will say?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fIeoQKoTp-U
Dont be LostForWords if she calls
if i’ll speak to her in russian i’ll be bestforwords
Somebody stop me!
animalntaz, stop it!
My computer crashed the time I won so I never got instructions to claim my prize.
If I buy a book will you sign it for me?
Congratulations russianboy. You deserve it.
And yes, we love Marina too.
When you talk to Marina, tell her hello from me.
if will tell if i’ll talk to her!=)
Поздравления!
I wonder if Marina speaks a different dialect of Russian than you do?
Will you have to speak to each other in English, then?
