In the New York Times Magazine
The New York Times Sunday Magazine recommended me today, stating that the “kittenish philologist Marina Orlova makes lexicography foxier in “Hot for Words.”
Here are the pages from the article which talks about the Urban Dictionary, where I do some of my research on Nerd Words of the Day. I can be found on page 3 in the recommendations section. You can also find the article over at the New York Times Magazine online.
Pop over there if you get a chance and thank the author for writing about me












I figured out there must be at least 200,00 other of us men who get sexually excited by you, too.
Sexicography (page 3) – that’s an interesting portmanteau
Here is interveiw of “Marina manager”……long fun day
Here’s to more Clutter!
Cheers!
WHAT? A beach and no picture of Marina in bikini on the cover page? Instead, they picture a dude who will probably terminate whatever he puts his hands on? Do they think they’ll squeeze any money out of this?
I am SHOCKED! I won’t read any more of this. HASTA LA VISTA!

Urban dictionary is cool because it contains words like [epicacy] !
Urban Dictionary is cool
At least eight of my words & definitions are listed there.
Words & terms which developed locally can now be shared globally.
dude. funny you should say that. i googled “moynf” a few minutes ago. check it out.
Why where you looking up “moynf?”
And how did you make that link? When I clicked it the page it activated and the word was text in the search box.
i looked it up because pt9 replied to one of my postings with “moynf”. well, the domain my link points to is lmgtfy.com (”let me google that for you”).
That is tricky & creative how you made “le souriant” clickable.
I try to stay ahead of the curve
nose milk…queer
What, we haven’t got enough words already? When I was a kid we only had two words, I and Shinola, and we liked it that way.
Nice going, Marina. Keep up the good work. We’re all pulling for you (even aLx, though he may not admit it)!

damn right. i’ll go look up “to pull for s.o.” now but i figure it’s something knighty, white-horse-y. so, no, i ain’t pulling shit for no one.:P
Hey, I don’t be wearin’ a nightie for man nor beast.
Consistency is a highly-valued quality hereabouts. I trust your search for meaning was well-rewarded. New gravatar looks cool, the lime-green jell-O look didn’t seem to suit your perennial effervescence.
Did you find the definition of [moynf]? It’s an acronym, of course.
No, but I’m weak on acronyms.
whaddya mean he wasn’t talkin’ to me? Oh…Sorry
Whats Up ,P? Been checkin’ out FVS and yours Canoeing forum. Nothing tachnical to add, just funny stories. Still trying to sort them out in the old bean.(long time and all that)Yeah, right!
Weak on acronyms? STFU!
Just kidding, BV.
I’m still on the search for my real job, thanks for asking.
Meanwhile, I’ll be checking out a band in need of a bassist tomorrow, should be fun. I play guitar in a local trio but I haven’t played bass in a real band in about 6 or 7 years. Hope my bass amp & monster speaker cabinet will fit into my little Corolla! I’d look pretty funny pushing it down the road in front of the car on its little chrome casters. I’m pretty jazzed about getting loud for a change.
I almost copy/pasted your canoeing story from my introductory TA page into that forum discussion, but then I figured maybe that should be your call. BCNU.
Well, thats two. MOYNF and BCNU. Yeah, go ahead and bring that post over(if you can find it). Good luck with the bass thing. Like they say, sometimes you gotta blow the dust off of your speakers.
Good luck with the job, too. I’m in the same, uggh, canoe(less educated) and I am starting to feel like its gonna get worse. Oh, Well, at least you get to play MUSIC.
I love it when everybody is hitting it right, and its sounding good, and you KNOW that it is sounding good…Great Feeling
nose milk is queer…society is really leading mankind through “shit”…Thats what I think….Law for Hot WORDS…[Fascists] is(R) law givers
….made in the USA…non-working brains playing with “BM”
Yeah, well to follow up…
We had an excellent jam, a power trio backing up a kickass female vocalist. She packs an awesome Chrissy Hynde voice, and cuts completely loose. Great Aerosmith, Led Zep and Hendrix delivery, too.
They made me turn my bass amp up to 6, a feat seldom attempted and even less often encouraged (I felt like Scotty on Star Trek: “She canna take any more, Captain!”). Dude, I totally left my body for awhile there. The guitarist floated the Hendrix like petals on a pond. We were in the zone, or at least I was.
When it was time to go I knew they’d have to try out some others & then take time to decide whether to use me or someone else. I consider it a one-shot deal: if they don’t choose me, at least I had my chance to get loud with some solid players one time, so good enough there. I had a blast.
If they choose me for their bassist to do this one gig (upcoming early August), good enough there as well. We’ll practice for a couple weeks and do the gig. Whether their regular bassist will return to normalcy, none can tell. He’s the father of an eight-month-old infant right now, and has more important stuff on his mind than music. Good enough there, too. He deserves every courtesy, as the guy whose band I’m “babysitting.” Respect, mon.
Worst case scenario: I played some great jams in a rehearsal hall, no charge. Best case: I met some new faces, maybe it’ll amount to some future exposure.
BTW, I posted your canoe story to the riversports forum. CUL8R,BV.

Oh OK, Milk Out Your Nose Funny. oh Bee Seein You. Sometimes it takes me a minute(or an hour, or a day…)
yeah, i found the definition of “moynf”. googled it and the first hit was chevolay’s entry at urbandictionary.com.
didn’t find “to pull for so.” though, only “to pull so.”
dude, i like your posts. in almost every one is at least one word i got to look up. so, that’s cool, expanding my vocabulary and all. though i doubt i’ll remember “effervescence”.:)
Thanks, I’ll try not to make you work too hard, lol.
I could use some help mit mein Deutsch-sprechen. Ich habe nur zwei jahre im hochschule gelernt, aber viele jahre (have since passed). Then I met a sweet Quebecois girl and made the mistake of studying (Franzuzische?) also. Duh.
Now I mix & match the two, conjugating French verbs into my German subjects, etc., thereby rendering my broken elocution unfathomable to speakers of either tongue.
To exacerbate matters, I’m trying to pick up some Espanol also because it’s the de facto lingua franca here in California. Quelle salade!
“Pulling for someone” can be thought of simply as how one might pull a little harder on the oars to help speed up the lifeboat when a friend is drowning nearby, or pulling up the rope to retrieve your friend who’s fallen over a cliff. In this case, a sort of team effort was my intended meaning. I knew you’d protest, being the stalwart individualist you’ve always proven to be– hence my comment regarding consistency. Don’t be so predictable.
You make it way too easy! OK, just kidding.
Think of “effervescence” whenever you drop an Alka-Seltzer tablet, Emergen-C (or any product that fizzes) into a glass of water. They’re designed to effervesce, releasing gas bubbles that speed up the process of dissolving. In the social sense, it means someone whose personality can be described as “bubbly.”

oh, yeah, the new gravatar. people kept bugging me about my pic, it was a pretty old one. i let my hair grow and all, so, yeah, this is a recent one.
I think this pic makes you look younger. Your previous gravatar made me think you might have been losing your hair, so you shaved your head.
Time for a new scrap book.
