I think Seesixcm6 explained it back in http://www.hotforwords.com/2009/05/17/pull-a-bner/comment-page-2/#comment-131002 with the help of Captain Jack. It’s like the rear of the ship.
Hi Mike,
Hope your knee’s getting better. Our blue corn is only knee-high but we’re drowning in strawberries.
Yum!

Hey Kent, Yea my knee is a lot better and I am about ready to start walking my three miles again. I’ll start with 1 mile then work back up to three. Don’t want to over do it the first two weeks I get started back. Our Silver Queen corn here is about shoulder to head high. I can’t wait till it comes off it is soooo goood. I envy you on the fresh strawberries. That and blue berries are my favorites. As you said Yum.
Mike
Oh Mike your so on top of things!
Poop deck origin is why I have such a hard time with the OED. They say unknown yet it’s clearly documented in many books. As I see it, yes OED is one of the best sources to refer to, it’s not the bible per say. That said , nautical words and phrases are borrowed from other trades/industries. Just a few days ago I was thinking to myself how the language of the maritime world was very unique all on its own. I have a rather high nautical vocabulary but I’m still learning many words. I was looking at the back of a classic ship and they call the back deck on this ship a fantail. Meaning the back of the yacht starts from the waterline and moves up and fans out above the water. Looks like a bird fanning out it’s tail.
Classic MotorYacht fantail.

Hey Jack, I think certain words like poop deck and others keep showing back up from time to time. I see bikini has reappeared. Which we have seen M in lots of bikinis so that will be explanation enough for me.
Hummm….
Well, this had it all-Amazing Marina swimsuit pics, ca-ca pic, Marina getting flushed-what an imagination, Dear Teach. In other words, I loved it! Thanks!
HW: C?

[coast]
[coat]
[côte] (as in Côte d’Azur, which Marina visited recently)
[costa] (as in Costa del Sol)
Are they all related?
Le ciel, c’est tres azur ajourdhui, oui?
(French tongue-twister, apropos of…nothing, I guess.)
Poupe is the French word for aft, or the back end of a ship.
So the poop deck is the deck at the back end of the ship.
I would like to request the origin of the phrase [birthday suit].
I read that it started as a suit you wore on the king’s birthday. True or not I don’t know, but I could find nothing explaining how it got from that to the current meaning of nude.
C’mon now. It’s nothing to do with the king. The suit you wore on the day you were born was just skin. You can’t get any nudier than that.

Exactly.
Now the French say popo for backside, but it comes from poupe.
I would like to request the word [Donofrio].
It is my last name.it’d be great if u you did =D.
I would like to request the phrase [ finger lickin good].
The good colonel told me that with certain main courses it’s proper dining etiquette and quite okay to eat with your hands as long as you don’t mind getting your fingers greasy
http://i21.tinypic.com/3130mkx.jpg
The only caution is that if your fingers get too tasty, you just might eat right down to the bone (autocannibalism?).
lick, dribble, but if you start to nibble…
it’s not just a slogan,
it’s finger lickin’ good
it’s a HotForWords lesson too:

hey nice vidoes and i would like to request a phrase: To wear your heart on your sleave. i would love to know what that means thank you!
Congratulations! You NOW have the longest name on HFW! You do NOT win anything, just recognition should suffice.
If you “wear your heart on your sleeve”, you are more likely to think with your heart about things.
Example:
Your child comes in with a kitten. She wants to keep it. If you wear your heart on your sleeve, you keep it. If you do NOT wear your heart on your sleeve, you keep it long enough until she goes to bed. Then you explain to her in the morning that it must have ran away(ALWAYS put the shovel away first)
better story if you put away the kitchen utensils & fryin pan

Dearest Marina,
Would you please use your considerable artistry and knowledge to derive for me the phrase( an old saw ).
Thank you, sea farer.
I’ve heard that before also. I wonder if it means a saying that is often useful, like a saw is a often useful tool. (If that’s the case, an old hammer would be more apt.)
Poop deck!

Hi can you give me some insight into
[blow smoke up my ass]
as in “don’t blow smoke up my ass” or “She’s just blowing smoke up your ass”
this seems like it has to do with opium, but why would it be so widely acceptable a term. Did people spend a lot of time “smoking opium and blowing it” up peoples asses? The translation ususally excepted is “don’t say/do something just to make me feel good, but not actually doing anything”.
I’d guess C.
The poop deck is the roof of the stern (rear) cabin on a ship. It comes from the word, “stern,” in French, “la poupe.”

OK Starting…NOW!
when did [okie dokie] come in to play? i see that okie is just a variation of ok, but dokie?
It sounds like rhyming slang, but I have no idea how long it has been in use.
how did the word [toodle-oo] get started? seems like a funny way to say goodbye.
Alice In Wonderland (1983) – Tweedledum and Tweedledee
..its all about love
From French, a toute l’heure or something like that. It’s an idiom that doesn’t appear to translate well.
Bob would know for sure.

My Dear Teacher,
I also have a word request: We are arguing, my friends and I, about the origin of the word “stoop.” In Brooklyn, we say things like “yeah, Marina’s that hot chic that always hangs out on her stoop.” Or, “hey, Frankie, who’s them guys in suits on your stoop?” Anyway, some of us think the word derives from the Dutch (New York being originally a Dutch city) word for veranda. Others think it derives from the Russian stoopnya (for foot), since the “stoop” is where you place your feet on entering the building. Also, although there are no Dutch in New York, there are plenty of Russians.
Thank you,
Lucky
There are no Dutch in New York?
Ever heard of New Amsterdam?
Not any more …just the names, my friend … the Dutch folk moved out long ago. Just like their ain’t no Indians living in Soyosett or Chappaqua neither.
and no Spanish in Los Angeles
You OBVIOUSLY do NOT live here.

But, if you want to go on thinking that New York is filled with Dutch people, be my guest
I’ll just put on my wooden shoes, sit under the windmill, and have a Heineken.

Even though the English eventually obtained possession of New York, why did the Dutch move out and where did they move to?
[dutch masters] and her slaves for her service?
My Dear Teacher,
I hate to be a party-pooper, but did you know your 2009 calendar has an error? July simply repeats June – the numbers of the days are wrong. For example, it says that July 17th is a Wednesday when it is really a Friday.
So, do I get extra credit for pointing that out? Maybe a lunch date next time you come to New York? …. or a personally autographed photo (with something to make it seem real and personal) to impress my friends with? …. or …. something.
Lucky
You aint that lucky, Lucky!
Get it? Luckysuerte=luckylucky. Thank you! I’ll be here all week!
You are supposed to be looking at the pictures, not the dates. What on earth is the matter with you?
That’s why it took me until June to notice
LOL
she fixed that…ask a TA for it
I’d say the answer is C. Here’s why, from Wikipedia:
The name originates from the French word for stern, la poupe, from Latin puppis. Thus the poop deck is technically called a stern deck, which in sailing ships was usually elevated as the roof of the stern or “after” cabin, also known as the “poop cabin”.

Thanks b, I was over in ‘Fathers Day’ for awhile but I’m back on the case!
[quasi ]
Priviat, “poop deck” comes from the French word “la poupe” and/or Latin “puppis” meaning stern. In addition I’ve 2 words phases to request… “St. Swithin’s Day” (several George Carlin jokes use this day 7/15 as a punch line), and “S.T.A.T.” the word to meant “Now, if not sooner!” in all medical drama shows, yet never actually uttered in a real hospital.

Poop deck eh? Spicy!! This “game” cries for attention as the strident sound of a trumpet! We can hear and see of course, but we can’t smell it! It may have many a flavour to it I think.
On the tall ships of the line of the past, also called “Man O’War”, the crew toilets were actually on the prow, right in front and on top of the sometimes very beautifully crafted figurehead. The poop, which is where the wind is blowing of course, is at the back of the ship. However…
[R*A*I*N]
Dear Marina,
I’d like to congratulate you to your incredible show and success!
Carry on, I love it!
The word I want to request is: [on the nose] or [right on the nose]
All the best for the future and with very best regards
hotflow69
Marina, I must give you a stern warning about your video being in poor taste!
You Ate SoMe?..
.U 8 some 
I asked asked months ago if you knew the meaning of this word “poop deck”, the word comes from the vikings (i believe) “poopum” it is the place where the idol was placed on the front of the ship (like the lady, or man) that you use to see on the old war ships and frieghters, the sailing ships, and viking ships, im not really sure if its from the vikings or the noriegians, or the swedes, it has nothing to do with the toliet, trust me, i was in the navy and i never could find the “poop deck”, because we didn’t put the figureens on the front of a ship
If you had M tied to the front of your ship, nobody would be looking aft, would they?
Hi Marina – great website and brill teacher!.
A female friend of mine recently dubbed me “Professor of Manyology”, because, apparently, I know a lot about different stuff. But is there such a word as [manyology] – perhaps you can help me?.
Funnily enough I work on a project called “Hemarina” so your name caught my attention…… Hey Marina !! xxx
And yes…….Intelligence IS soooooooooooo…..sexy!!xxx
Better to be on the poop deck than to be between the devil and the deep blue sea.
To change topics, a word I’d love to see you look at, Marina, is [apricot]. I once had an old-fashioned English teacher, the antithesis of every schoolboy’s fantasy, who used to whack us for not learning our lines of Shakespeare or for having hair too long. But I have always remembered his explanation for the origins of this word, a combination of Arabic (al) and Greek (precocious). Maybe this is too simplistic but it showed us that words could be interesting.
Charlie
What was she, a mob-connected teacher? (If you don’t learn your lines, you get “whacked ?”) Don’t worry, it’s not personal, it’s just business.
make my house out of straw, hey!…stoned from the brick-masons and mobed from all builders and contracts…soul changed the value again….JEEZ.us lost
It comes from the french word “la poupe” meaning the stern or back of.
Eight, sort of
oh i have another 1 what exactly dose “motown” mean all i know is its mucic lol
Motown is Detroit in The States. At one time, The U.S. made these things called automobiles. They made alot of them. The area where they made most was around Detroit, so it became known as the Motor City or Motown. Now, it is a wasteland full of falling down buildings and unemployed workers known more for there hockey team that just lost the Cup. There baseball teams and basketball teams have had some success(uggh, lets not mention there football team. Its the ONLY team Bengals fans are allowed to make fun of.)
However, the music is no joke. Motown made some of the best in the 60’s- early 70’s with a bunch of session musicians called The Funk Brothers, led by that bad-ass James Jamerson on the bass. If you like Motown music, there is a movie called ” Standing On The Shoulders Of Motown” That gives the untold story of these great musicians. Damn, they were tight!
BTW, The Funk Brothers were on more Gold records than Elvis Presley and The Beatles COMBINED!
Re Poop Deck Game.
Well the toilets were at the front of the ship ( hence they were called the “head”), and I am pretty sure they didn’t call manure poop in those times, so I’d go for C and think it’s a corruption from another language.
Some English words have one or two different meanings, but why does the word [set] mean so many things?
I am sure that shorter words that are more often used will be more likely to have multiple meanings. Also it may be that shorter words could be older words and thus have more historical time to be used in different ways.
Yes, you would expect an old word could have several meanings, but [set] has over 400 senses, which seems extreme even for an old word. That is an awful lot of meaning for a single word
Yep. That’s the way it is. Um-hmm. (Sighs…) Lordy, lordy, lordy.
Would you be so kind to tell me where it comes from the English word [oak]. English have very brief words !!!.
x2 for “spetznaz”
Ummm, did our trusty teacher flush herself down a toilet in this video? LMAO! That was quite visually humorous.
And we also got full body shots of Marina, and in a bikini nonetheless. Always fun when that happens!
Now, I usually do quite lousy at these games, but I am pretty sure a poop deck has nothing to do with poop. The answer is C, something else entirely. I’ll be shocked if I get it right, tho, as my track record with these games is very bad. Looking forward to seeing the answer!
Peace, Errin : )
I would like 2 request the word [spetsnaz]
I say choice c. I hate that p word! makes me lose my appetite!
It’s called the poop deck because everybody on board had to hang their asses over the edge of the deck of the ship to take a poop.
So… if you are ever sailing behind a large old ship and you think it’s an O’Henry chocolate bar floating around… IT’S NOT!!!
I would like to request the phrase [eskimo kiss]
As a young child, I actually got my tongue stuck in the fridge. Is this relevant at all?
Yes, eskimos rub noses so their lips won’t freeze together! (Or so Mom told me.)
As my friends of the Monty Python team used to say – “Now for something completely different” I think we will go with answer ‘C’ my dear Teacher
hahaha 
Hello, would you mind telling me where the word [Nanny] comes from? Thanks!
she should do that word and have her hair all up like fran drescher when she did the nanny
Her early professional career in the US was a nanny – cool, huh?
i say c lol and i have a word “eureka” thank you and hope you had fun on the Poop Deck lol
Hi, teacher…
I’d like to know what the word VIRUS means….
Bye…. thanks for alll
And say hello to Brazil!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m going to guess that it has the same word-root as viral (as in viral video), which probably means “to spread”. But I don’t know, we’re going to have to wait and see.
I don’t know what the poop is on this topic. If you spell poop backwards, it’s still poop. After all, poop is poop no matter which way you spell it. But, if you cut it in half, the word that is, or… cut it in two (either way). and place the first half in front of the second, you get popo. Meaningless? Maybe. Yet it reminds me of Tampopo, one of the most important films of the 1980’s. It is at once an epic story about noodles, and about a Japanese cowboy in Japan who comes to the aid of a widow who doesn’t know how to make a decent cup of noodles. Intrigue, violence and death awaits you. A very enjoyable film. Don’t forget the snacks.
You don’t get popo, what you get is [oppo] which is Royal Navy slang for … but I’ll leave that to Marina.
Hi Bob!
If you have thistles in your shorts, do you have burr undies?

I’ll bet Marina likes that song better than the Red Army songs I was sending her; my musical tastes are probably more like those of her father (or grandfather??)
Что вы думаете, Марина?
If I get anything unpleasant in my pants, I can cut it out with my Villa Cisneros and then wash them out in the Limpopo – it means braving the wildlife, but it’s a risk one can minimize with som-ali-mentary precautions.
Jeeze, we’ll soon be running out of material for these puns; are we going to make it a round-the-world tour or do you want to continue to gab-on about Africa?
Le’s automatically quit when we’re done with Africa; I have no ambition to “pun my world.”
Speaking of links:Dolen Cymru-Lesotho
Stop Yer Tickling Jock!
I would agree that my formula lacks mathematical precision, (a full step is clearly missing) leading the reader to get stuck on ‘oppo’ which points to a different topic. A stumbling block that may be insurmountable, preventing the reader to proceed on to the more important topic of the response. Indeed, the link would not then be clicked on. Things like that happen.
Pretty Sure it’s B
also [evening]
I probably should explain that I saw something about that on a history channel special.
I’m not just playing the odds.
I remember being told why it is called the poop deck a long time ago. Can’t remember what the reason is now, but I know it is not A or B. So I guess that would leave C.
Smokey if we look back at previous videos Captain Jack explained what a poop deck is. I’ll have to research it in the archives and let you know. chow pal.
I will agree with Dili it is the “stern deck” of an old ship from the clipper ship era it also was where the Captain’s quarters were on these ships and I do believe that it does in fact come from the French.
I’m going with “C” completely different, and I post this before reading what others have written.
WLIU, it’s C. I mean, even if I did not apply my considerable intellect to the problem, what are the probabilities? You have A, B and ALL THE OTHER THINGS IN THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE. Gosh, that’s a hard one to figure the odds on, isn’t it? Well, at least I can guess this one (unlike all the other games where I had no clue whatsoever), so that’s an improvement. Actually, I think poop has to do with the activities on that part of the ship, like recreation, etc. Maybe it is related to the condition of being all pooped out (tired).
Marina, I hope you will give up the green screen from time to time so we can see what is growing on your nightstand nowadays. And so we can see

I would like to know the origin or [sick as a dog] thanks ^^
Sick as a dog.
It’s C. Something Else
The poop deck is on the stern of the ship, its actually the ’stern deck’. The name comes from the French word for stern, which is la poupe which is from the Latin puppis. When it came to English it changed into ‘poop’

huh?
I was bored so I went through and counted all of the fine HFWers who answered puppis and/or la poupe. You are number seven.

“He who hesitates is a damned fool.” – Mae West 1892-1980
see above.
Hey Leonard, do you think it was because of Mae West they came up with that derivation of todays quote; “He who hesitates, masturbates”
Bee is the “B”rain…Mae West in I’m No Angel with Cary Grant in this 1933 comedy classic. Fortuneteller: I see a man in your life
Mae: What only one?
Twist and Shout~ Mae WestMae West gives it her all in this 1960’s version of this song. Quote…”U what in 1 hand and what? in the other”?
COUNT SHEEP lol
gov’ss’vog?
I like women like Mae. No guesswork. You know exactly where you stand before the key ever hits the door! If you do spend the night; you leave the next morning broke, confused, walking with a slight limp, multiple abrasions and contusions, and a dazed look on your face(like you just climbed out of a car wreck). You’ll be like a dog and go under the porch and lick your wounds
, but you WILL be back. Reminds me of a story… I’d better save that one! 
The way she sings “Twist and Shout” is almost exactly Rodney D. in “Back to School”! Well, maybe an octave higher…
“Come up and see me sometime” and “Play it again, Sam” have got to be the two most mis-quoted quotes in movie history. Mae says,”Come up sometime and see me” and and my fiery fraulein Ingrid Bergman says, “Play it, Sam, one more time…” NOT Bogart as most people think. I’m going from memory on Casablanca but me thinks I’s right.
Hello Marina. I was wondering if you could tell me the origin of the phrase, “Fire in the hole?” Soldiers seems to shout it everytime when they throw a grenade, but it seems like an odd thing to say. I’ve always been curious of how they came up with it. Thank you, I appreciate your time and effort!
sincerely,
Jack I. Dyson
It’s from mining, referring to explosives that (in the old day of burning fuses) are about to detonate.
Marina, did you know you have more than one facebook page? One is a picture of you on the boat and the other you in the green outfit you wore in your first lesson. Which one do I send a friend request to if any?
Hey Marina,
It’s C. And I was wondering if every week we had a topic like this week it should be ships.
I would like to request the word [schooner], because we saw the movie Captians Courageous at school. Thanks!!
I have the movie on DVD. It’s great!
AWESOME BLUE TEXT!!!! Anyway yeah it is great but the book
is WAAYYYY different.
I would like to request [dawg] like in “what’s up dawg?”
thx!
A story:
In 1989, an associate I knew had just gotten out of Eddyville State Penitentiary In KY. We were sitting around one day and he used the term, “dawg” in reference to me in the same way you hear it today. Since I had never heard it before, I asked him what it meant and he just said, “mans best friend, right?” So, this a prison term for that ONE guy you know has got your back, and it meant something. Now, it is like ‘man’ or ‘dude’.
Its interesting that the first time I heard that was from a white guy since that word seems to be associated with the black culture.
Hey Beevee, sorry to barge in but I have a technical
and maybe you can help me out. I have had a couple of hyperlinks not work right a few times already on here, do you know some situations that can make this happen? if not it’s cool,it just sucks when you try to correct something and you have limited time to do it and hopefully nobody cares, especially Marina.
Laaater from Vrock
Sorry,V, I’m not very computer savvy. Che volay has a post on this page and I know he would be able and willing to help. Any TA can help. Che, P9, Buzzword, Pkarl.(they have the colored border. Che’s is red)
Lets see…did I forget anybody…Oh Shit! The Captain.(He doesn’t have a border, he has a BACKGROUND.
M’s is pink, his is blue.)
Good luck
That a Fuchsia colored border beevee
Capman is fire engine red, appropriately.
Far as I know, Che was never officially designated as an official TA. He got his border on a more personal and intimate level. That’s why his is the coolest.
Have you practice on the ‘learn/practice’ page?
Common mistake is ppl forget to put the space in after the {a href} i.e. {a (space) href.
Practice, then if you need my help just ask. I’ll be back here in 40 mins from time of this post.
That has to be it! I think I might be overlooking the spacing factor and not paying close attention to it. Thanks Che
I’ve done one submission on the practice page with a hyperlink and it worked on the first try, maybe I should check my comments there first to see if it works just to be sure before posting it on the real page.
I have made some notes for you on links in lesson comments in the forum here.
Thanks CampKohler
In the lesson it says an easy way to put a link in the comment is to just copy and paste the url which is fine. but I think hyperlinking is more interesting. Anyways thank you for your help, I appreciate it Che Volay and Alex also came to my aid.
the “this” link didn’t work because you forgot to include the actual url in the “a” tag. the corresponding line in the source code show this:
<p>… jam to <a>this</a> on the poop deck!</p>
the “a” tag should have read:
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJuYDNJIJDM">this</a>
I do type out the tag like that but I could not be paying attention to the spacing factor as Che pointed out to me, but you’re right the source code is’nt right. I don’t know what’s up with that. That’s not what I typed up. oh well. Thanks
the code doesn’t lie, dude.;)
You feel alright? You look a little green around the gills
CampKohler did an excellent job explaining links in the Forum section. Click on his link and check it out.
It’s below this comment.
Peace
Che
dude, you’re on twitter, too. you shouldn’t be asking about green avatars, then.;)
It’s C.
Hey, why don’t you jam to this on the poop deck!
Or maybe you like the original version better.

Ran out of time, can’t figure out why it didn’t work!
probably C. the bathroom on a ship is called the head, that’s a weird one too. maybe it’s all navel slang.
definitely C

What is the origin of the word [adultery]? When i was little i thought it was called that because only adults could do it, which is some what true, but that can’t be the word’s origin. Please investigate!
greatsayain—maybe this song has some [adulTery]???Nazi Girlfriend: Iggy Pop
i’m not really sure what you mean
join the club!!
sorry, leonard
wHen I was little!!!
Learning to speak leonard is definately an acquired taste. Be patient and give it some time. Pay attention, because he often has some real gems encrusted in there.
the answer is (C.) A and B just seem too easy and obvious.
Nice imagination Marina.
I choose C.!
I would like to request a word [pot licker] explained.
Thank you.
You gotta help us out! Are you talking about some form of alcoholic beverage or something out of the Kama Sutra?
Not pot-licker. Pot-LIQUOR. No, it’s got nothing to do with cannabis and no, it isn’t an alcoholic beverage. It’s the vegetable-flavored water that’s left in the pot after you get done steaming some vegetables. If you steam a bunch of beets, for example, this water will usually be a dark red color, and it tastes like beets so it most likely contains many of the vitamin and mineral elements from inside in the vegetables that sweat out during cooking. I actually drink it fairly often (after cooling time has elapsed of course), or add it to stews or soup stock because we grow our own organic vegies (so I know it’s safe) and it seems a waste to throw away whatever nutritional value may be contained there after taking all the time and care to grow those vegetables, and the flavor has seldom been fatal, as you can see by my recent photo
. Most people throw this down the drain.
hello beautiful – please can you explain where the phrase [three sheets to the wind] came from? thanks!
that one is done already.
Dude, there are probably 100 girls on the net RIGHT NOW who look enough like M for you to languidly pace through each one, assaulting yourself in the process.
Did you not see the sign?
I’d like to request the origin of the term [pop] as in soda pop. It seems to be a midwest USA thing.
OK, and I want to request [soda]
Also another USA thing, in my opinion.
The answer is “c”. Poop comes from the Latin puppis meaning “stern”. The poop deck serves as a flat roof over the poop cabin, in the rear of the ship.

I’m agree with jjmaster14. In fact in Spanish we call “popa” to the stern of a ship and “cubierta” to the deck. So Poop Deck is the same than “cubierta de popa”. Please, talk more about nautical words.
Answer is C
Correct me if I’m wrong but I thought that this was covered by CaptJack sometime ago
LONGJOHNS (have) [winter underwear] that is …comes with a poop-chute, decked for shooting air

c. something completely differant the origin would be: Poop Deck: The aft-most, raised weather deck on a ship. The name came from the Middle English poupe, from the Latin puppim, meaning the rear section of a ship. The word derived from the Latin Puppis, meaning a doll or small image, The Romans and other ancient seafaring peoples had a small sacred idol or image affixed to the stern, where the deity it represented could watch over the vessel. To be pooped incidentally, meant to have a wave break over the ship’s stern.

It took me all of 2 minutes to find the answer. It comes from the Latin ‘puppis’ meaning stern. It has nothing to do with the bodily function. So C.

Hi Marina!
I was wondering the etymology the word [autograph]. Thanks!

Aw heck, she was a Helmut Newton model, I’ll stick with
Foxhole: http://www.zero123.com/foxhole.jpg
fo’c’sle is forcastle, gun’le is gunwale, tops’l is (of course) top sail.
Hey b,
did somebody or anybody ever wonder why American Naval terms seem to be from England and Army terms from the French?
I understand why naval terms are British, but I do not know why the army terms are French, instead.
Hello HotForWords,
The answer is “C,” something completely different. The word comes from the Latin puppis meaning “stern.” It has nothing to do with our modern concept of poop.
I’m still lobbying for the word [Yankee]. Thanks HotForWords.

My guess is answer C!
How did leonard get out of an elephant: he used the 14 points and ran around until he got pooped out.!!!
True story?
Dear Marina,
Thank you for showing all those nice photos of yourself while sunbathing. Trust me, I never get tired of watching you.
“Poop” is derived from French word “La Poupe” which meant the stern of the ship. It originated from the Latin word “puppis” whch meant stern. Since ancient times, sailors were required to go to the back of the ship to eliminate, so the word “poop” became a verb to do that. The “poop deck” is at the rear of the ship.

Trust me you don’t want to know what I think.
But I might!
Hey, Che; nobody wants to know what I think, either. You don’t see it stopping me, do ya?
Somebody wants to know what you think.
I think calling somebody a ‘poopie head’ on a boat is redundant.
{There you go! }hi Marina would you do this word and i’m not joking but i really want to know

This is easy from prior lessons and from the internet: answer is something else. Head (toilet) is in the front, and manure-tale isn’t true (“Ship High In Transit”). http://shipmodeling.info/glossary.htm
Hard to find the Maxim show in which Marina discussed shit, so here a ref from July 26, 2008: http://betterthanbran.com/
In case anyone missed hs4mm’s second point, there was an internet story circulating (untrue) that “S.H.I.T” is an acronym for “ship high in transit,” the instructions for shipping manure so that it won’t get wet, ferment, release methane, and explode (so the story went.)
It was a good story, as stories go, but as stories go, it went.
Wiped off, like surfing and slipping…something happened really bad…late but here…smells tooo
And I want to say , thank you about your great job and great show !
Hello Marina ,
About “Poop Deck” the name originates from the French word for stern ( la poupe). Thus the poop deck is technically called a stern deck, which in sailing ships was usually elevated as the roof of the stern or “after” cabin, also known as the “poop cabin”.

Something completely different.
Toilets were put on the front of a sailing ship (the head) so that the smell could be blown away.
Hi!
I’m first. I don’t believe it!
The answer is A or C but not B.
Why are you taking HFW down the toilet? You had a really good thing going here…
Flushed with sexcess?
I believe everybody will be first in something in there life. For some, it is being the first sperm to the egg. For others, First in elections to high office. I’ve already done the first and doubt if I’ll do the second so I’m happy to be first now.
It is pretty damn bad when you give an acceptance speech! Get a life, Bee!
