    My energy comes from watching teacher in action!

  4. paulhenry says: 92

    Homework, eh? How do I get my energy, you ask.
    Hmmm, not so hard to answer that one: by watching your posts, of course!

  5. I just wanted to remember my avatar :roll:

    • Bienvenue à nouveau Monsieur dictionaricdotcom.
      Comment allez-vous?

      Please excuse my French. It has been too long.
      Having you been keeping up with Marina’s videos?
      I’m still here.
      Glad to see you again.

      • :oops: Alas ! I am so much busy with my own passion that I have very few time for many other things.
        I can see that Marina Eagleskaia has something I will never have : conciseness. She makes short videos and explains not too much not to bore people.
        I am not so gifted. I can only make long long videos. I am a real chatterbox :roll: and I always treat my topic as if everybody was a scientist eager to reach the summits of knowledge. What more I am not as sexy and young as Marina :sad: ! Sobs !

      If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy.
      – James Madison…

      Almost all parties who have recently discovered the existence of Darfur, an area comparable to the size of France, are engaged in a war of words. Even Muslims and Arabs, who should be most concerned by virtue of cultural, political and historic proximity to the Sudanese, are taking part in this war of definitions.

      One can understand why Arab sensibilities are injured by the use of the phrase “Arab militias” when referring to the [[Janjaweed]] gangs that have murdered, raped and expelled thousands of innocents in Darfur. The term is used as if the intention is simply to implicate one group and vindicate another.

      Of course, referring to some Sudanese tribes as “Arab” is not a media invention. Some African Sudanese are called “Arab” for speaking a dialect derived from or heavily influenced by the Arabic language.

    Hi Marina,

    A highly insightful video, as always.

    I would like to invite you to make an appearance at a conference I am organizing. The contact section of your site suggested that I would do well to simply leave a comment on a recent post, so here goes.

    The First Person Digital Conference will be held in Toronto on October 28, 2009. I’d love for you to come and speak to 400 advertising, media and film executives from across North America about your stunning success and your take on the future of entertainment. It would be fantastic to have your perspective at the event.

    May I send you some information? If you have a speaking agent who handles this sort of request, please feel free to pass this along to him or her.

    Looking forward,

    Chris

    I noticed the bottle of “energy drink” you were drinking… nurogasm… what sort of activity are you stoking up for Marina?

  8. Beth says: 86

    I have lots now.
    [boom]
    [swagger]
    [cheeky]
    [zoom]

    LOL they are all from the song “Boom boom pow” by The Black Eyed Peas which I am lovin’ :)

  9. katie says: 82

    [smarty pants]

    why do people say that?

  10. Beth says: 81

    [lost his/her/your marbles]
    Why is it called that? Is it because our heads looks a marble? :?:
    I’m bethrosegirlxx on youtube so if you pick this for a lesson , can you call me that please?

    Thank you :D

    Word request: Whats the origin of [ Valhalla ]

  14. Speed is more my style, Marina, which makes me wonder why I never investigated myself since I’ve always wondered how the speed of God = good fortune for a human endeavor.

    Anyway, speaking of speed, I’m about 6 months away from getting myself behind the wheel of an all black Jaguar XKR; it’s funny b/c I always loved the CLS55 AMG, but everyone has one—and Jags are definitely underserved—anyway, so from behind the wheel of the sensuous contours of that top cat I’ll be on the prowl for hot chicks like you.

    :mrgreen: 68 years ago, at 4AM on June 22, the German Nazi forces suddenly invaded the Soviet Union without a declaration of war. :evil:
    @hotforwords Less than 2 years before, the Soviet Union had joined Nazi Germany in suddenly invading Poland. :???:

    Teacher –
    I notice Gorby was not much help during the cleaning… But then again, as fast as you were moving, he might have gotten trampled… Or swept into a dresser drawer by mistake!

  17. Chemikal says: 73

    Where’s the poop deck game answer? :lol:

  18. alan rogers says: 72

    I’d like to dedicate this Max Miller (The Cheeky Chappie) verse to Marina:

    I like the girls who do,
    I like the girls who don’t:
    I like the girls who say they will,
    And then decide they won’t.
    But the girls I like the most of all,
    And I know you’ll think I’m right,
    Are the girls that say they never will,
    But look as though they might!

  20. I build old cars to go faster and handle better. We call them Hot Rods. I understand the meaning is – An automobile that has been rebuilt or modified to increase its speed and acceleration.

    What is the origin of the word [HOT ROD]

  21.  
    I don’t know if this article had been mentioned by anyone about an Alta Language Services blog about Marina. It was published June 9.

    Arousing Word Origins:
    The Story of the World’s Sexiest Philologist

    I found the last sentence interesting, but I don’t agree with the use of the word [bawdiness]. I still think the word sexiness is probably still the best descriptive word.

    “Orlova deserves recognition for encouraging the study of language and raising interest in etymology through her trademark blend of bawdiness and scholarship.”

  22. Che Volay says: 68

    I just feel falafel about what is happening in Iran.

  23.  
    Amazing and wonderful lesson. Had no idea of the original meaning of speed. I hadn’t thought about the actual meaning of Godspeed having used it all of these years. I’ll be using that word more often.

  24. mengelji says: 65

    I’d like to request the word the word “Pooch”. Where did it come from?
    -as in, “That Gorby is a tiny llittle pooch, even if he doesn’t know it.”

    Love the videos, they just get better every time!

  25. rrosiiee says: 64

    i would like to request the phrase [you can't have your cake and eat it too].

    please and thank you! :)

  26. remuria09 says: 63

    Privet daragaja!

    I would like to request the word [cannibalism]

    ti prekrasna kak solnce.
    bye

  27. sailorman says: 62

    How about doing the very recent addition to the Webster dictionary, [ginormous]. I’d really like to know how it qualified to be added to the American lexicon. Wasn’t “enormous” good enuf? I don’t know anyone – even a teenager – who uses the word, or ever has. But maybe that’s because I don’t hang out in NYC.

    I’m sure the French are ROTFLMAO at our expense.

    S

  28. I would like to request the word [PANSY] :oops: :grin: ;-)

  29. drewshbag99 says: 60

    Marina, I wanna know how the term [Power Plant] would refer to an aircraft’s engine as in addition to an actual source of electricity.

    • Power plant refers to a machine or system of machines which convert a fuel (gasoline, kerosine, diesel, coal, etc.) into a form of useable energy, such as electricity or mechanical effort that is then converted into some kind of work (lighting a lamp, turning a propeller, etc.). Under this definition, a gasoline operated air compressor would also qualify, but for some reason, we don’t consider it a power plant.

      • Did you hear about the new car the French(Peugot :?: ) have that works off of compressed air. Regular 4-stroke but it injects compressed air into the combustion chamber. Goes about 60 mph and sounds like a VW with a hole in the muffler. Saw it on Science Channel. Pretty slick :cool:

  30. My pal Eddie, the producer/director from Channel 15 area wants to know the origin of the word [aftermath].

  31. [supper] I want to know where it comes from, I’ll video request it too!

  32. pandion says: 57

    The only energy drink I have found that works on me is the 5 hour shots.

    Does anyone else that has Face Book play with the farm feature game that it has? I just sent BillyB a red neck cooler for Father’s Day. It is a used washing machine filled with ice and is filled with cold ones. :lol:

  34. Dearest Teach, tell your dad Happy Father’s Day from all us lunatics here at HFW.

    Love you, Darling!

    Always.

  35. Capman911 says: 53

    Hey M. Not to be too nosy, but what kind of bed is that. I have never seen one with such a big base or maybe a box spring. I thought at first it was a water bed but it didn’t move around like a water bed. Is it cherished reminder of the bed you slept on in Russia? :smile:

  36. Happy Father’s Day to all you HFW dads!

    Dad, thanks for everything you were and are. You were the best person I ever knew. I’ll see you again.

  37. betboo07 says: 51

    I would like to request the phrase [hit the road]

  38. igor flor says: 50

    Marina, I would like to request the word [bionomics]. I know the origin of this word will most likely be very hard for you to investigate, but I would appreciate your help very much, because I manage the International Bionomics Institute without knowing the exact origin of the word BIONOMICS.
    Thank you in advance.
    And good luck!

  39. tonyb says: 49

    I think in the Army in 1978 “speed” was another name for LSD or “acid” and we had alot of druggies in the 613th Field Service Company in Fort Mcclellan, Alabama back then. And lots of pot smokers. But I did not imbibe. A few beers but no dope!!

  40. tonyb says: 48

    I have two words from my personal studies. One of these is [syncretism] where some people think they worship God but their version of God is actually the devil-like Israel and their gold calves in Hosea.
    Then there is [gematria] where Greek and Hebrew letters would double as numbers so you can guess who Mr. 666 is! Not me, I’m sure.

  41. alan rogers says: 47

    Dear Marina

    I would like to know the origin of the word [cahoots] as in the expression [in cahoots].

    Thanks

    • People in cahoots usually wind up in the [hoosegow].

      • Thanks CampKohler

        I’ve never heard a jail called that before.

        I can just imagine Marina giving a lesson on the origins of [hoosegow] and [in cahoots] dressed in her prison issue striped pajamas!

        And lets throw in a sexy ball and chain too …

        • Oooh, nooo, that’s the wrong image. I just had this flash of we two with the chain getting all wrapped around our legs and the weight of the ball pulling us off the bed and Gorby yapping at us like we had just tried to crush him on purpose.

          Besides, do they make revealing and appealing prison garb? Maybe M already knows that horizontal stripes gives the appearance of added weight, something that, as a model, she may avoid. In the British Empire, they didn’t use stripes; they have a design that looks like chicken tracks, which I understand is the broad arrow mark used to indicate government property.

  42. Whoa! Watch Kellie Pickler’s “Best Days Of Your Life” video. Look at how much Taylor Swift’s face uncanningly resembles Marina in this.

  43. rehk1 says: 45

    What is the orgin of the word [Venom] or [Rizing]

  44. I would like to request the word [Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanocon]

    Hi HotForWords

    I was wondering why a [great Dane] (the dog, you know) and [danish] (the pastry) is called so? I’m danish and we do not have alot of great danes, but we do eat alot of cake ;)

    Well, hope you will help me figure it out!

    I love your stuff. Thank you!

    Good job on the vid, M’Lady. It looks like you are able to find a pretty good balance between satisfying the customers and appeasing the sponsors. A chick’s gotta make a buck, right? Nice to see things groovin’ again :cool: .

    HW: A whole lotta caffeine. Coffee in the am, Mt. Dew later on. I find that when I smoke less, I also need less caffeine. Just one more reason to quit the damn things :x .

    BTW, If M just happens to cruise through NC anytime soon, I sure could use your services in my study. Crikey! What a swamp!

  50. Chemikal says: 37

    When I get tired, I drop everything for an hour and get some rest.
    Afterward, I’m much more productive.

  51. lvecsey says: 36

    Marina I found this pic of Gorby on a cloud

    http://kathysharpe.com/cloud.jpg

    Can you do a word origin for Religion, or Yehovah? I really enjoy what Sam Harris has to say on this topic (there are youtube videos) and so to me the more we connect and learn as a society, the farther back these myth stories are pressed.

  52. superponz80 says: 35

    sounds like a commercial…. ;-)

  53. James says: 34

    Another lesson with an origin that I could grasp! Marina has got her thang back!! WOOOO! :mrgreen:

  54. animalntaz says: 33

    Marina… There’s a bomb on the bus. Once the bus goes 50 mph, the bomb is armed. If it drops below 50, it blows up! What do you do? What do you do?! :mrgreen:

    ***Homework***

    For a quick boost, I drink a mocha creole, i.e. a cup of coffee with a tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa and a tablespoon of molasses. Maybe a touch of almond extract or vanilla for extra flavor. :smile:

  56. Sabrina says: 31

    Hello Teacher! I would like to request the word [bikini] ;-) I think this word would be great since it’s summer! Thanks teacher!

    Amandaapandda

  57. Sweet, Dear Teach. I didn’t know about that, and I’d been wondering about “Godspeed” recently, coincidentally. The video was fun, too.

    Thanks, Marina. You’re something else.

  58. Che Volay says: 29

    @1:04 it looks like you need some depilation on your legs due to the added texture in the video enhancement. :o

    You don’t want no bread

  60. danielpool says: 27

    Marina could you please. Do the word [AMBIDEXTROUS] Thanks :grin:

  61. freebird says: 26

    A guy I knew takes three cans of Red Bull and pours them into a pot on the stove. He heats them up to a slow boil and over time it reduces down to a syrup. The next thing he does is add a half cup of Aunt Jemima’s Pancake Syrup to add flavor.

    He called it something like his “Red Bull Quick Brunch”… and dips pieces of buttered toast into it.

    Yuk-Fooey! :shock: :x

  62. danielpool says: 25

    That was a good one. Marina ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-)

  63. Oooh, we got to see in M’s lingerie drawer.

    I see England,
    I see France,
    I see Marina’s underpants.
    But she was “out of the country” at the time, if you know what I mean. :mrgreen:

    Now, what was that about scooping up all Gorby’s toys and putting them in his bed? The bed is supposed to be empty so he can use it. Notice that M doesn’t do that for her own bed; when it’s straightened up, it’s empty.

    PS: If this Neuro thing keeps up, all the lessons will have to have that fine-print disclaimer at the top: Advertisement.

  64. zinnaku says: 23

    im crazy so most of my energy is natural. but if im running low i usually drink a vault or a mountain dew voltage.

  65. muggins says: 22

    I don’t want to say nothing, but….the shape of Marina’s beverage bottle? What would Freud say about that shape, and color for a bottle, that she puts to her lips to drink from?

  66. neuroway says: 21

    Jawohl meine Teacher!! Drink, drink! More and more and again and again! It will make you speed!

    However, Newton has it in his laws that you have to sacrifice some mass for speed… The less mass you have, the more speedy, yes, speedy you become, apparently. And the more easy to accelerate too. The falling apple on his head brings us the brilliant proof of this I think.

  67. I always wondered how the phrase [COLD TURKEY] came up when people stop doing something immediately. Most often used for cigarettes????

    Steve

  68. [vanessa] i always thought this word meant butterfly is it true or am i even close? my mother told this to me .

  69. r1wolf says: 18

    I wish I had a way to get energy. A good adrenaline rush while riding motorcycles helps, but it is short lived.

    Hey, my room could use a good cleaning if you’re available ;-)

  70. can you do the origin of the phrase [Hit the Hay]

  71. lronic says: 16

    I would like to request the word [Manic],
    and why [Manic] became apart of the disability Manic-Depression.

    People keep calling me “manic”… which I am, but it still bugs me. =P

  72. My energy comes from adenosine triphosphate.

  73. bigbhd95 says: 14

    Thanks my dearest Teacher ;-) real nice to be in bed with you :oops:
    ummmn :idea: its all in my head :lol:

    [soap-box derby]

    [SuGaR]……[SuN]….[BaNK]–bAnk….sUn……sUgArspeed DaTing…speed kills…Music is my best source of energy :lol:

    • I wonder what kind of soap came in a wooden box? Has anyone ever seen a common soap (vs. some specialty soap) shipped in wooden boxes? When I was a kid, the most available wooden box was the orange crate. We had a book case made from boards run between painted orange crates.

  75. rediron says: 11

    Can you do the word, [Destroy] , does it have anything to do with troy (The story of the trojan war) since it has the name in it.

    thanx

  76. MtnDood says: 10

    How do I get my energy? I eat a healthy dosing of [comedy] and some action movies on the side to get me pumped!!

  77. kiwie says: 9

    the word [leet] or [Elite] is kinda interesting ;-) it will be a great lesson !

  78. smokey36bear says: 8

    I drink Mountain Dew, but only on Thursdays.

  79. seesixcm6 says: 7

    Dear Marina,
    With your new iPhone 3GS, you must be so much faster and efficient in your Internet work, that you’ll have plenty of time to go clean your room. I’d also enjoy taking a nap in that large bed of yours!
    You’re an inspiration for me to become even more speedy (in the original definition), so I can become wealthy enough to be your boyfriend. I’ll save up for an iPhone 3GS by September, which will make me more efficient and productive, which will enable me to treat you to an oyster dinner, someday! :razz:

    I would like to request the word [Jarhead].

    Have you ever had [rowan berry jam] Marina?

  83. wetsuit5 says: 2

    Is that stuff guaranteed to get my room cleaned as well?

    Mines a lot more messy, but thanks for the motivation.
