Dear Lady Marina Orlova,
I was just watching you speaking in russian and English on this video of your interveiw with Snob Magazine and I was wondering, as you native tongue is Russian, you have studied and exelled in English and living in the states you would have to use daily.
Which language do you think in?
And i would like to congratulate your Ladyship on all that Hot For Words has achieved.
My word request would be,
Why do they say Ladyship or Lordship/Lairdship and what is the origin of these titles?
Keep up the good work, and heres to the next 200,000,000, Cheers

Very sorry Marina my dear teacher for handing my homwork in late I could blame my dog but I don’t have one and if I did I doubt He/She would eat computers.

Any way to the home work, it has been a long time since I watched a Bruce Lee movie so my memory is a bit vague, Also all the vidoes that I have are quite old and have most of the weapon scenes missing as they were cut out by the British censors.
In the Big Boss (Which I think was also realeased as the Chinese connection.) He uses a saw in the Ice factory,
In Way Of The Dragon (The one with the Chuck Norris showdown at the end) He uses a wooden dart as well as the nunchaku.
In Enter the Dragon he uses Hardwood Escrima sticks, Nunchaku and a cobra to scare the radio men and In Game of Death he uses a stick of green bamboo (to represent flexibility) against Dan Inosanto, they both switch to Nunchaku and duel it out, but this wasn’t included in the final cut.
Bruce Lee was proficient in lots of weapons I think the philosophy he had was that you first had to learn how use a weapon so that you understood it and were able to work out how to defend yourself against it.

I would like to know the origins of the word “Potato” too also why here in England we also call them “Spuds”.
Sometimes on potato plants you get what is known as potato “bells”, They are seeds of some sort and look like small green tomatos, I have been told that they are poisonous, this may be what your Mum had heard about.

Was the show called “Balderdash and Piffle” presented by Victoria Coren, where they invite members of the public to find the earliest recorded use of certain words for the OED?
Balderdash and Piffle! Where the “Fork” do those words come from and what do they mean?

I read in a Yoga book that “Guru” is Sanskrit for teacher (apparently a lot of European words can be traced back to root origins in Sanskrit) so our beloved teacher Marina is also our guru. However this raises another question,
What is the origin of the word “Teacher”?
Barbarian
Would that be the Royal Mail in England as it took a letter I posted, a month to travel 30 miles from Reading to the National Portrait Gallery in London
Didn’t the Romans refer to the Celtic people North of Hadrians wall (later known as Scotland) as Barbarians?
