Dear Sweet Marina: Gonna get a new refurbished home office to go with your windfalls of the published book and the GoDaddy contract?
Hello Everyone,
The smileys have returned to the Forum. They are located above and to the far right of the comment box.
If you get a pop up that says the following,
don’t worry, it’s not meant for you.
{Sorry, aLx, I couldn’t resist. The devil made me do it.}
lol.:D
I know the answer to “typo” = “Typographical Error”. (As noted repeatedly on my book reports and term papers.)
I enjoy your thorough explanations of word origins and especially the way you do it. You remind me of my ex-girlfriend: perky, funny, sexy, pretty,…
I don’t intend to be demeaning toward women with this request. In fact, I hope to do the opposite with the word request for an explanation on the origin(s) of [Camel Toe]. I left a comment on one of your videos, but I don’t recall which one. …..SEXY GEEK! That was the one. If you cannot make a video of the [Camel Toe] origin, you can send me an e-mail. Thanks.
i would like to request a word
[typo]
We all know, women can do two things or more at the same time.
So I guess will have twice the amount of videos to expect.
Hello there
I would like to request the word [hammer]
UMBRA UMBRELLA
The patriotic hold photo es maravilloso.
I finally ordered the book yesterday. I’ll give my review shortly after arrival.
While promoting products and talking about Uncle Sam, you might check on the origin of the dollar sign.
On the more general subject of America, I think it important to point out Columbus never admitted he had discovered a new world. To the end of his life, he insisted he had found a new route to the Indies. This made it awkward to put his name on new territory. Amerigo took advantage of this in an early example of domain squatting.
I can attribute the simple German encouragement for performers to mishearing Hebrew. It is harder to explain the more extensive version, which includes the neck. Until this is resolved, I would avoid appearing on a German stage.
Your appearances continue to be interesting.
I would like to request the word [word]
really surprised when I didn’t see this at list of “all words”
bb!
I would like to request a word, phrase. NASA [scrubbed] the launch of the space shuttle last night. What does this mean do they call the Missile Maids to clean up, is it an acronym Hot For Words should investigate. [scrub] [scrub the launch] [scrubbed the launch]
Can we make marina orlova a trending topic on twitter by saying she is dead? and see how long we can keep her top?
I would rather Marina be alive than be on top.
Wow! Cool little edit timer. Another little toy for the sand box. Thanks, M’Lady.

hope the day is fine!!!…I found a bat or rather it flew into me; then stumbled and flew away—-my young cat was playing with it, bummer….bats are like kangeroos**[BATS]**radar station**
A cousin and I had a really funny experience with some bats in the barn when we were younger. It was a real Three Stooges type deal: (several) bats, one barn, one ceiling vent, and two fishing nets… good times
I use tennis rackets to bat the bats out of the house.
Something about their radar cannot pick up the strings of the rackets.
That’s just sick.
Are you sure, you got the right gravatar.
Relax. They are actually pretty tight. Hes just kidding. I think he watched a Beatles documentary or something
How It’s Made: Pedal Steel Guitars
…
You sure that wasn’t a Telecaster Jimmy used? I don’t remember any pedal steel in that song. Oh, well…
I had a set of Pearl Exports EXACTLY like Miss Thangs.
Interesting
(but not quite topical) Observation:
Can you imagine the bong hits Michael Phelps takes?

Australia 1972 (Immigrant Song)
…The song is dedicated to the Icelander Leif Ericson, and is sung from the perspective of Vikings rowing west from Scandinavia in search of new lands. The lyrics make explicit reference to Viking conquests and the Old Norse religion (Fight the horde, sing and cry, Valhalla, I am coming!). In a 1970 radio interview, Plant jokingly recalled:
We went to Iceland, and it made you think of Vikings and big ships… and John Bonham’s stomach… and bang, there it was – Immigrant Song![1]
“Immigrant Song” is one of Led Zeppelin’s few single releases, having been released in November 1970 by their record label, Atlantic Records, against the band’s wishes. It reached #16 on the Billboard charts
something is phucking up
….believe me…jimmy is a monkey goat!!!
Ok James, if you want to pull one, maybe something like this:
Do you know Marina paid 20 million dollars to become a space tourist. A new drink sponsored it.
Its said she will go in about two months in a Soljoez. She is even going to do two lessons while in space, its gone be so far out.
Are you coming to England for you book release in November Marina?
I would like to request the phrase [Heart of gold]
Read The Online Etymology Dictionary and compare to Marina’s lessons. I have it now in my favorites section of my computer. Your dressed very nice for this television appearance Marina. Keep playin’ that rock ‘n’ roll.
Another great appearance! For some reason it seemed rushed…maybe it was just the editing.
I was bummed and pissed for you when I didn’t see your segment on the 18th, but I guess thats showbiz, right?
Two snaps and a circle on the hair and the outfit.
Oh what a great video lesson Marina. Love your hair style! It’s worth a million!
About the break a leg. I was a bit surprised. Was it just a coincidence or did my mention of it in an email spur you to pick that phrase? Or maybe I was reading your mind. That would be a change. You seem to be reading my mind a bit much. LOL
Why do I feel so naked now?
I am tempted to believe that it’s because of the colour of your cap, capt’n. It should blend with the colour of your shirt. In the navy, they allow you to dress like that? Sorry. Couldn’t resist.
That’s because I’m not in the Navy. Sorry I couldn’t resist.
Oh? I thought it was a navy uniform? That may explain the difference in colour between the cap and the shirt, and the no tie too, I guess. I was so sure you were in the navy. Sorry again. Mea culpa.
If you look in the forums, you can see it says Agrosy. It’s a tour ship company I worked for in Seattle. That photo is about 4 years ago, maybe. Every company has a different uniform code.
I -WAS- in the Navy. That’s past tense. I wore a blue enlisted uniform at you were thinking of.
I’m a licensed Merchant Marine Officer. That’s a person license by the USCG to pilot a vessel for hire. Kind of like an airline Captain is licensed by the FAA.
The outfit with my fancy hat is one of my own choosing. I’m self employed, so I can wear what ever I choose. I mostly wear if for it make people feel confident in my abilities. If I showed up in blue jeans and a t-shirt as I’ve seen some MM officers do. It would not instill confidences to their passengers.
Besides, I’ve never been hit by a car yet while wearing it yet. It’s interesting to watch peoples reactions.
@Capt’n.
Yesir, Capt’n J. I do seem to grasp the essence of this explanation. But don’t you think people should feel confident in your abilities because of your abilities, and not because of your outfit?
Of course people should, if they were rational beings, but people are not rational, they are emotional and if it takes a fancy monkey suit to make them happy, that’s what you have to wear.
If that were the case, then there would be no reason for police, fire, security, doctors, pilots, broadway actors, pirates, military, sales, bankers, investment brokers, etc etc… to wear uniforms/outfits. Your right that it’s the person underneath that makes the uniform, but we all know that looks are very important. It’s human nature to prejudge people based on their looks. More importantly and all above is that is someone wears an outfit for the job they are doing shows me that they take their job very seriously. Also some uniforms serve a function. My old Navy working blues served as a flotation device. The bell bottoms also serve to allow the pants to be removed w/o the boots needing to come off.
Something else. I feel really goofy wearing my uniform (Zute Suit). I don’t like to wear the hat for it’s very heavy and squeezes my head. I hate wearing ties. It’s a very hot outfit to wear. Though I do switch out to just the shirt, no tie, black dress shorts, white safety shoes.
Interesting note, most of the time when I crewed on the the cruise ship, I wore my PJs. I would start my day at 7pm wearing gator shirt and kaks. By midnight I would be in my pjs. In the morning you could see me pulling on lines or driving the ship in my pjs.
When I teach my captains licensing classes, I start the first day in full uniform. From that day out it’s just dress shirts, kaks, and boat shoes.
Yes, no hear band! And I thought she didn’t read these comments. I was wrong, she doesn’t only read them, but puts them into practice.
Gloves will take the feeling of naked away…How can breaking a leg be a good thing?
I thought I knew the answer, until my evil twin stepped in…
…super HotForWords…[drumsticks]…
This particular video was why I logged on in the first place. Marina, you ARE a very lovely lady (and I EMPHASIZE, LADY…), but your brilliance, kind heart, and generous spirit is what will make you beautiful forever. You are willing to use this medium as a means to exchange ideas, share knowlege, and improve communication skills on a global basis.
The world will be better as you pass through it than as you found it. You are willing to use your beauty, humor, and wit to draw people away from simplicity to wisdom.
“…Wisdom calls at the corner, from the marketplace…happy are those who find her…”
A Poem For The Daring:
“To The Feet”
by “Preter-dexterity
Do we dare escape
to the air & noise,
go running free
with the girls & boys.
But will they like us?
and what, if not?…
or break, or take
the toys we brought?
Much easier then
to just stay in,
content & safe
we hide again,
children’s eyes
in aging faces,
spirits chained
nn earth-bound places.
The fleeing sun
shines less, each day,
still calls to us
to come away &
open weak & furtive eyes
to rejoice beneath
the circling skies.
Spoils to the victors
the race to the fleet…
if we’ll walk out
across that street,
come ‘round our block
across that lawn &
seize the day before
it’s gone.
You can see more of preter-dexterity poetry in the Forums pages.
Ahoy Captain,
thank you for your kind words of encouragement. Poets in the US are, for the most part, merely queried as to whether they have “NORMAL” jobs.
Regards,
PD
Is there really such thing as a normal job these days? I ask what is normal?
Ahoy,
I should qualify the statement by indicating I’m refering to their “meat and potatos” perception of “normal”. Most of the day jobs I’ve ever had were bizarre rituals commanded by even more bizarre corporate “Hierophants”. (At least I’ve not been commanded to “lie down on the altar” as of yet.) Ah, well…I owe, I owe, so it’s off to work, I go… PD
Oh you have! You just don’t know it yet. The man is deceptively more sophisticated.
Oh My Captain,
If I’m the “Lamb” in your allegory, I’d rather “Lie Down On Broadway”, to garner the ‘genesis’ of the rite way things are to be done, or else ‘Dance On A Volcano’ in honor of ‘Mad Man Moon’, as I was born the 23rd of June. But that would be another trick of the tale. PD
Very dexterously executed piece of poetry, Preter. You are quite a skillfull communicator, and I am going easy on my appreciation of your talent. Thank you for sharing with us, hoho!
Carpe Diem!
This was really meant as confirmative encouragement for those who dare, like many already contributing and commenting at this site, as well as an invitation to those yet only in contemplation. Thank you, PD
By the way, the name I use on the site is derivitive of my “Nom de Plume”, ‘Dr Rex Dexter’ This name was carefully created by a combination of root origins and intentions. ‘Rex’ is, of course from the Latin, meaning ‘King/Ruler/one with and under Authority.’ Dexter is basically, ‘the right hand’, but suggestive of an overtly postive, and in my case, creative course. Dr./Doctor may more altruistically describe one who pursues the aggregation of knowlege for the purpose of expanding it’s comprehension and usefulness to build upon the existing body of Wisdom. Dr Rex Dexter then becomes:”The King’s Right Hand Who Gathers and Sows Wisdom…”
Wowowow! Sacré nom de plume, Dex! Keep it up, doc!
THE DUCK
Behold the duck.
It does not cluck.
A cluck it lacks.
It quacks.
It is especially fond
Of a puddle or pond.
And when it dines or sups
It bottoms ups.
Ogden Nash
Good one too, but it is lighter than the Preter-Dexterity poem.
Ah, if you like ON, you may also appreciate Lawrence Ferlinghetti and Richard Brautigan. (AND we should never forget Ginsberg and Bob Dylan, who never “bobs”, but artfully “weaves”)
ah Beatnik lover! ha. I live south of san francisco
I’ve had several “close calls” for going there, but something always came up…I still hope to visit there at the very least. I’m currently in N IA. About the only thing I can say about being here is:
The People of the Land
We are the people of the land, privileged to tend to the miracle of new life,
handed down father to son, mother to daughter, burying
the seeds to die beneath the dark earth in every season,
raising new seed for the next, as we have always done.
Yet, we marvel as each new season, the earth is warmed by golden sun,
kissed by the early and later rains, until the wind rocke the new life gently
in this cradle that is our world.
We grow old watching this ancient miracle, always in awe
of how life eternally springs anew from the seeds of death.
The new generation has now arisen to take their place
as the tenders and guardians of the rite of the seed and the earth.
We who went before, are planted as seed in the dark earth
to be cradled by the wind, kissed by the rain, and be lifted to the sun,
to smile down forever upon our sons and daughters, who,
taking their place to stand through the seasons,
tending the miracle of new life, are now
the people of the land.
It’s a shame I’m so always lost for words…LOL, but this was the best use of my observational talents given I was stuck on the “steppes”-hey-maybe I’m becoming a “steppenwolf”. However, I would NEVER “beat Nick”-as he never did anything to me. Hi-Ho. PD
THE TERMITE
Some primal termite knocked on wood
And tasted it, and found it good.
And that is why your cousin May
Fell through the parlor floor today.

But liquor

’tis due to pigeons that alight

- Spike Milligan.
@Bob
Yes, Bob. I do agree with what you say. From a strictly aesthetic perspective, this could be viewed as the modern Macdonalduckization of war. We are far away from the orderly phalanxes of Sparta here. And the little winged city tramps spiritfully carpet bombing this hat of stone from a distance can be a real colourful flying circus to watch. But let us not start a big Macargument about this. Or even worse, a hot Macwar.
Apparently, MacDonalds isn’t all bad all the time. ( thanks BillyB – Roflmao)
The one-L lama, he’s a priest
The two-L llama, he’s a beast
And I would bet a silk pyjama
There isn’t any three-L lllama
– Ogden Nash
this was the only other O Nash poem i had handy and you used it. fascinating
Very funny cause and effect piece-yours or anothers? Either way, good fun. PD
Another great appearance.
Loved you appearance,I think Huckaby did to! You looked very classy.

The coming of the Internet continued the advance of Bad English as everyone’s second language (if not their first, as in the case of Americans.)
While it’s great to be able to communicate with everyone, it’s still important to retain local languages so that we don’t all lose our identity in a global McDonaldization.
200 miles from London, ancient heart of the English language, one group fights to maintain its linguistic identity: Linguistic Map of Wales
OK, so it has nothing to do with O’Reilly. Guess I’ll move this post over to Buzzword’s Language and Culture forum.
LOL, that’s ok. It’s accepted for you mention that it’s going over to the forums pages.
Ugh… I LOVE bad English, haha!
Due to to the political correctness, the term “bad English” was banned in the public debate and the term “African American Vernacular English” must be used instead.
If someone wrote “I don’t know nothing about no one no more” and we accuse him of using bad English, he might sue us for racial discrimination. Oh my, we can’t write “him”, we must write “him/her” or “them” instead due to avoidance of sexism.
PS. I’m not a racist nor sexist.
Jambo bwana fglrx!
Hehehe, constructive critic indeed. Alternatively, we could also replace “bad” by b-word, and sexism by s-word. Although not as elegant as your suggestion, those would do the job too and both of these would be politically correct terms perfectly usable in the corporate world.
No, no, no, we can only have the F-word
@Rijk
Yes, yes yes, I say we can have the other ones too!
maybe not, but you certainly are linguistically ignorant.
african american english is not “bad english”, it’s a dialect / variant of english.
Ya ain’t dig da joke
Bad Grammar – The Way I Are Parody ft. HotforWords
Were JamesAtWar and HFW racists and/or linguistic ignorants, because they mocked grammatic forms which are really correct in AAVE?
it’s all been said in the comments on the vid over here. check out the long discussion between p11, buzzword and me if you’re really interested in that topic or in what my opinion is on this.
and yes, it is linguistically ignorant.
get a book on linguistics. a book on what language and linguistics is all about. you’ll discover a whole new world. word.
Ha! D parroted that same nonsense on me about a week ago, and it didn’t stick. You guys make me laugh! Now go take orders from your commando chimp! (hahaha)
those were the days.
Saw this on YT and had to pass it on. With all of the guys into music on here, someone is gonna like it! Enjoy
It really starts smoking about 45 seconds into it!
Hey beevee14, that guy is insane. Good choice.
You ever hear of Orianthi?
She is a Santana clone and was supposed to have been on Michael Jackson’s show.
Yes, she is really good, she ought to do something with it.

My screwball MD brother came by a couple of years ago at christmas. And I had a faded black James Dean t-shirt on. And for some oddball reason he asked if that was a James Ionni t-shirt. And I do not think he likes Black Sabbath. He is really good at denying reality as is my other evil brother. Ionni or Iorio?
Your screwball brother was probably refering to Rainbow singer Ronnie James Dio but enough of him for now. It is time we travel the universe
Top 10 Fastest Guitarists
by no means an acturate top ten list of all time or anything like that but you’ll find some fast riff work in there
This guitar player had Jimi Hendrix watching him play…true…Cheech as Alice Bowie performing Earache My Eye …[small world]…rock me stoned…
Vancoover (I’m lazy for exact facts)…Seattle too and Yahoo…cut my grain…rory….work=krow 
All these classic rock bands you hear about nowadays; when these guys heard about Hendrix performing they wanted to go to see him play guitar because he’d be ripping it up in the lil’ red house.
Very impressive, but too electricky for my taste. I prefer the pure sound of classical and flamenco guitars.
Another instrument I like is the Japanese Koto.
I found a fummy word in the folk song OFF TO SEA ONCE MORE which I am teaching myself ot play and sing. The author used the term [JACK TARR] for a British Sailor. Is that derogatory?
While Jack was out walking one fine sunny day
a squire and his lady he passed on the way
and Jack he heard the squire say
with you tonight I mean to lay
with my do me ama, dee me ama, do me ama day.”
“You must tie a string all around your finger,
hang the other end of the string out the window,
And I’ll slip by and pull the string,
And you must come down and let me in
With me do me ama, dee me ama, do me ama day.”
Says Jack to himself, “I’ve a mind to try,
To see if a poor sailor he can’t win him that prize.”
So he stole by and he pulled the string
And the lady come down and she let Jack in
With that do me ama, dee me ama, do me ama day.
When the squire came by, he was humming a song,
Thinking to himself how it wouldn’t be long.
But when he got there, no string he found.
Behold, his oats were all dashed to the ground
With that do me ama, dee me ama, do me ama day.
Well, early next morning, it was just getting light,
The lady awoke with a terrible fright.
For there lay Jack in his tarry old shirt,
his handsome face was all covered in dirt
And that do me ama, dee me ama, do me ama day.
“Oh what do you want, you tarry sailor,
Breaking in a lady’s bedroom to steal her treasure?”
“Oh no,” says Jack, “I just pulled that string
And you come down, ma’m, and let me in
With me do me ama, dee me ama, do me ama day.”
Jack says to the lady, “Your pardon I pray,
I’ll steal away at the break of the day.”
“Oh no,” says she, “don’t you go far
For I never will part from me jolly Jack Tar
And his do me ama, dee me ama, do me ama day.”
- traditional [fo'c's'le] song.
Thank you for your consideration in looking that old song up! Toledo, Ohio where I live is also a maritime city. Not a very nice place to live but a martime city nonetheless.
Hello, Marina! My word request for you to work your magic on is [copascetic]. I understand it to be a neologism from the African-American slang; it’s definition brings to mind the Stevie Wonder song, “Don’t You Worry ‘Bout A Thing”. I often wonder if you’re familiar with (and, if so, what are your opinions and thoughts) on some of the words and phrases in the African-American slang throughout the years, like [crunk] (
which personally I think we stole that from Conan O’Brien, because I remember in his show’s early years when he wanted to propose using a profane word that no one had heard of before, therefore, it would be OK to use it on TV, and that word was ‘crunk’, then he gave some comical examples 
Now ‘WE’ use it to mean ‘to make oneself AMP-ed up in motion, emotion and feeling, particularly when listening to aggressive rap music’( like Jay-Z’s “Hello Brooklyn”), trippin’ 
, wack 
( 
not whack), buggin’ 
… One word in particular that has REALLY endured the test of time is not even a slang word; we African-Americans have misconstrued it for many years simply because it sounds negative, and that word is [trifling], which means ‘of very little importance’. To us it has come to mean ‘of ignorant, disagreeable behavior’. No amount of correction I or anyone else would dare muster would do any good to put its definition right; in our culture, the misconstrued meaning has completely blotted out the true definition of that word.
Please share your thoughts; I’ve been wanting to know for years now.
I’ve enjoyed seeing a different side of you on Twitter… It has really made me miss your kisses EVEN MORE (mmmmMMMMMWWAAAH), Adiós (to God), Baby!!
I was amused as you in the white lab coat asa DR. SEXY. IN one photo you hae a beaker colored pink-red by the acid-base indicator phenolphelatin. I gave a demonstration once to freshman lab students at MSU to show how that indicator changes colors. Couldn’t get me near a chem lab again. does my story demonstrate why american society is falling? the photos that someone psoed you for were very cute. And you are cute and the fairest of them all.
I seem to have had since 1986 a problem being verbally oppressed by gays and Amazons. So that was a fun word-as was Birds and the Bees, Marriage, Horny, Hookers etc. Poor old me. I haven’t got any love from a woman since 1987. Those sexy words amuse me too.
i want to request [Skeleton Key]
You do well despite his continual rushing of you and cutting you off. Makes it choppy but still a fine show, putting words in your mouth, finishing your sentences.. blah blah… You do well.
Umbra or umbrella might be fun to do. Umbra came up in a crossword pussle today.
I second [umbrella]
also [parasol]
How ya doing?…Marina does U*M*B*R*E*L*L*A…Where does umbrella come from? And what’s a gamp and a brolly?
[t.h.i.n.K.i.n.g]
I can’t believe i mistyped puzzle.
Word request:
Skeptical
Second for [skeptical]
Also: [spectacle]
Are the two words related? Did some Greek or Roman have lysdexia?
[septic]…[mounds]…water is Welsh [WASHING]…John Deere and [ELM] trees and swamps and M*A*S*O*N*S and bricks and blocks…know wheels
*just josh’n*
I would like to request the word [Tomboy]. We call girls who aren’t girly tomboys and I’m curious as to how that originated.
Sign a [Chit] for that.
For goodness [sake].
These guys are funny, they are very good at creating interactive videos:

Hey Hot FOR Words!!!!!
I was wondering if you could find the origin of the following word [ Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis ] I know its a mouthful but it is such a cool word… I know its a lung disease but I think it would be cool for you to find the origin….
She already did that lesson. Click up on “All Words” on the upper-left corner of the page, and then scroll down on the list of words under “P”.
If you want to see the short version done live on CBS National Television last week – Go here:

Hi Hot For Words. I love your videos on youtube
I was wondering if you could find out the origin of the english expression/phrase
[To get done/nicked by the police]. I know it means to get caught/arrested by the police but i was wondering how it came about.
Thank You
Do you want to share something with us
Great job on your video on O’Reilly.You did a awesome job on talking about your book,and was really super!Thank you Marina for all that you do for us!
==================================
FORUM – How to use
==================================
Hello Everyone,
I’ve noticed that there are many new people here on this HotForWords site and many of you who use the forum have not been using it as intended. Marina knows the shortcomings and CampKohler even wrote a long post about it. Despite that, I like the forum and by following a few rules, it is a great place to hang out and discuss various topics.
Here is an overview of how the Forum works:
When you first visit the Forum page,
please take note of the following:
1. The top section shows the latest 30 TOPICS only and there is no pagination for the remaining hundreds of topics, until you click one of the Main Theme links in the MAIN THEME section at the bottom.
2. Scroll down to the bottom and you will see a section called MAIN THEME. Notice that there are only 4 main themes and only Marina can add and delete these. Notice that the 4 Themes cover over 140 combined TOPICS.
How to start a Topic
1. When you start a TOPIC, first, go to the bottom of the Forum page and click on one of the Main Themes. You want your topic to be a subset of one of the themes.
2. When you create a new TOPIC, make the topic title broad enough for others to join in. Many of you are creating TOPIC titles as if they were postings. A posting is what is created inside a topic.
If you want to create a topic on Poems, enter the title of “Poems” or if you want a specific type of poem, enter “Poems – Romantic”
When you look at the bottom Main Theme of the Forum, notice that there are over 8,000 postings. If everyone were to create a topic as a posting, then there would be 8,000 topics which will make the Forum unwieldy and it would lose the intention of creating a meeting of like minds.
3. Before creating a TOPIC, it is encouraged that you look at all of the available topics and see if you can place your post into an existing topic.
For example, to see all 125 TOPICS in the “HotForWords General” theme, click on that link in the Main Theme section. What you will see is the first 30 TOPICS out of 125. Notice that there are a total of 5 pages. You can now look over these TOPICS to see if you can add a post there and continue a discussion. When you post in any of those TOPICS, that TOPIC will rise to the top and will be seen as the most recent. You will see many topics have died out due to non-use because of poor choice of a TOPIC title.
Thank you for reading this.
Great, You should make a topic of this and make it a sticky so it’s always at the top of the list.
Grand report…
back when I made my first topic was of how…it (forum-topic) created itself and I let it ride; that was during the “spam-comments and edits-deletes” 
…sorry: if I am of a bad poem, like bad loam and no fertilizer…fruit and tile….

Bees are HAPPY
Fucus vesiculosus, known by the common name bladder wrack, is a seaweed found on the coasts of the North Sea, the western Baltic Sea, and the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, also known by the common names black tang, rockweed, bladder fucus, sea oak, black tany, cut weed, dyers fucus, red fucus, and rock wrack. It was the original source of iodine, discovered in 1811, and was used extensively to treat goitre, a swelling of the thyroid gland related to iodine deficiency. In the 1860s, it was claimed that bladder wrack, as a thyroid stimulant, could counter obesity by increasing the metabolic rate and, since then, it has been featured in numerous weight-loss remedies 
The male and female reproductive organs may occur on the same or separate organisms; some species produce eggs and sperm all year long. Fucus is a perennial alga with a lifespan of up to four years. Fucus species, along with kelp (q.v.), are an important source of alginates—[[colloidal]] extracts with many industrial uses similar to those of agar….The word “agar” comes from the Malay word agar-agar (meaning jelly). It is also known as kanten, China grass, or Japanese isinglass. The various species of alga or seaweed from which agar is derived are sometimes called Ceylon moss. Gracilaria lichenoides specifically is referred to as agal-agal or Ceylon agar.[1]
In Malay and Indonesian, it is known as agar-agar. In Japanese, it is known as kanten (寒天) meaning “cold weather,” referring to the fact that it is harvested in the winter months. In Mandarin Chinese as hǎicài (海菜) meaning “ocean vegetable”. In Taiwanese Minnan it is known as chhài-iàn (菜燕) meaning “vegetable swiftlet,” i.e., similar in texture to the nest of the edible-nest swiftlet used in bird’s nest soup. In Korea, it is known as hancheon (한천). In China, it is known as hǎizàoqióngzhī (海藻瓊脂) or dòngfěn (凍粉). In the Philippines, it is known as gulaman in Tagalog, Apayao, Bikol, and Pangasinan, guraman in Ilokano and gurguraman in Sambali.[2] In Thai it is known as wóon (วุ้น).
from Wiki…learning is a freedom
Pk, That was great. I think your little post should be copied & moved to the help pages and/or make it a sticky on the forums area. Send an email to Marina about it.
LOL, I just read what Rijk said. Ok this is a repeat!
And me because I rock.
You did say the “US was at war with Britain in 1913″ this is new to me.
I really know what you meant to say, the US & Britain were allies…. just teasing ya.
The US was at war with Britain against Germany, so in that sense Marina was correct.
Where she was in error, and it was probably a slip of the tongue, was in the date, as World War 1 didn’t kick off until June 28, 1914 with the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand in Sarajevo.
Austria declared war on Serbia on July 28, and Germany, having promised German support for Austria against Serbia, declared war on Russia on August 3rd, and on France August 4th when it also invaded Belgium.
The US, Johnny Come Lately, didn’t get involved until April 6th, 1917 when it declared war on Germany.
Thanks for the clarification Bob.
You know Americans. They didn’t want to get involved until they were sure they where(were?) on the winning side!
Same with the next one
Yes, thank god for Japan!
He and now that timer is back again
Felt pretty good watching this video.
I knew all the answers.
I had read my textbook before class.

Nice one, Tayljim! I remember these guys opening for almost every major rock show that came through Pittsburgh for about three years in a row. Must’ve seen ‘em 20 times while never actually going to see them.
I always bought the ticket for the headlining act on a double-bill with some other great band (like Jethro Tull & the J. Geils Band, or Alice Cooper & Sha-Na-Na) and they’d sneak in Humble Pie as the warmup band. Not that they weren’t great; they just weren’t as well-known.
Those shows would always go late into the night with a lot of time for socializing between acts. Seemed most everybody from my neigborhood would eventually get lost and separated from their rides home and we’d all meet up again all bleary-eyed on the last bus, lol. Been awhile since I thought about it, buncha teenage misfits that we were…
Great performance by “Magic Dick on the Lickin’ Stick.” What a stage name! Thems wuz the daze.

You should find out were the phrase [why aye man] originated. Its used a lot up here in the north east of england, and it can mean yes and no, depending on the tone it is used in. I would have thought that it originated in the north east, but i dont know why it is used
It would also be funny to hear you try and say it
Hey Hot for Words can you explain why the word [thong] is used for sandals and underwear thanks and I love watching your videos it makes my girlfriend a little jealous
I hear some GFs encourage it, for they think it’s the only way we will learn something.
I’ve seen a lot of your appearances (if not all) on News Shows by now, thanks to YOU and your site and by googling a couple of them. What I find funny is, is that most of the time you’re introduced on other shows besides “The Factor”, they point out that you’ve been on Bill’s show a lot and I sense the disdain of most of those interviewers towards Bill as being a mean dude, having different political ideologies of course, or maybe because he’s kicking the shit out of all of those Mickey Mouse outfits NBC, CBS and the others in the ratings! And you’re so cute when when you say: Oh, but Biel is my best student!
But hey, I myself don’t agree with all of his opinions. I do think you’re a perfect fit for his show. The book promotion appearance you looked more confident, relaxed and comfortable sitting across from him and you covered more words. Excellent Job!
Oh btw Marina, did you see this thing from awhile ago where Jay Leno asks this eighth grade history teacher about Benedict Arnold and the teacher’s reply is: “Is that one way how eggs are prepaired.”
of course the audience laughs and Jay looks into the camera and says something like: “I think our kids/students are in trouble.” 
I hope you have many more appearances on “The Factor” and yes of course any other shows that will help promote the HFW cause and more books written by you to come in the future.
From your so-so student Venomrock
Oh I forgot to give Bill O’Reilly Credit for having you on
Thanx Bill
I don’t like O’Reilly either.
Seen the start of the show up until the Democratic member was getting dished. Then I couldn’t stand it anymore. Stupid people saying this government is going to put there kids in debt. Than you really haven’t paid much attention the last couple of yours. (Seeds were sawn in 2001).
@the timer is gone?
Why ???
your name leads me to the assumption that you’re from the netherlands?
Yes I am. Didn’t see that video before. Didn’t like O’Reilly before and seeing the video didn’t change it. I was actually born in the city with XXX
He manipulates the truth, your link made that very obvious.
yeah, he’s a prick, isn’t he. you might wanna check out the other vids of the dude that made the one above.:)
Thanks äläx, I’ll look at them tomorrow its.
@alax
if it’s about promotion then alax promotes himself as rather rude. just so happens that when it comes to marina & hotforwords most of us here tend not to look a gift horse in the mouth.
go shove it alax.
No, äläx. isn’t doing that, only showing me that my thirst thoughts were right about O’Reilly.
And yes the O’Reilly show is good for here pr. But that doesn’t affect the opinion that I/we have of O’Reilly.
Ps
I have a lot of admiration and respect for Marina. For what she has done, achieved and the way she did it. But that doesn’t mean I have to think alike and agree with everything she says or does. I look at the facts and form my own opinion.
Looking at what Marina has done, I think she wants you to do the same. If not, she will post it here.
we’ll see
Hi Rijk,
Spent some time on thinking of a reply to your reply
Maybe there’s a bigger picture going on with the World, I discovered this video 
a few weeks ago or maybe longer, and yes O’Reilly along with the others, Liberal or Conservative manipulate truths to serve their agendas. 
I don’t know the situation over there in the Netherlands, but maybe try to view this vid (if you haven’t already seen it) with an open mind. This vid is long (about 2 hours) and I hope it can load, and that you have the time to view it and make up your mind on if there’s something there or if it’s garbage. They say it’s unbiased
Take Care Rijk
From Vrock
Oke here it is:
I had not seen it before. Watched in two parts. It loaded just fine didn’t have to wait.
You are right, there are a bigger picture, and its worse than I thought. If I had only watched this on I would be skeptical. But the site I showed William pointed to the FED for the crises and complete are the part on the Dutch central bank FED or the Netherlands
My rough translation:
The Dutch central bank were a private bank, in 1948, the Dutch central bank were nationalist the private shareholders in return got twice the value or their shares. (They received certificates or registration in the piglet Book or National Debt)
So the question now isn’t WHO the owner is, but WHO are the ate wheel.
The Dutch central bank are a plc (nameless company) which guarantees independence or the Central Government.
And this are strange, because the Central Government are the owner of the Dutch central bank and yet they no say in it!
If the old owners (including our royal) can maintain their position in the company and cannot be binned by the only share holder the Central Government, in reality the nationalization is a hooks.
The government is a bit different than the USA. Instead of two parties we (and I will not count the really small ones) we have 8. We vote for the “second chamber”. The each party with enough votes get a number of seats.
The government which will rule the country comes from the “second chamber” the different parties negotiate until they have more than 50% off the seats. Usually this means 3 parities form the government.
The whole second camber. Checks what the government does and ask questions about their actions.
So there is more control than in the USA. But some off the same things of course happen.
To some it up:
We live in a fantasy. A society which is ruled by the parties with large financial interests which have set up an appearance of democracy.
So old money still rules. And the people have no real say in it.
http://www.usconstitution.net/const.html
http://www.perkel.com/politics/issues/fourth.htm
I don’t think that the governing body of your homeland the Netherlands is that different from the governing body of the USA, they may look different on the surface but the principal is the same. We do have other parties besides the Democratic and Republican parties (Libertarian, Green and Independent:One who doesn’t associate with a particular party) just to name a few. But yes it boils down to who can raise the most money to get their candidate elected to the presidency (whether their right or wrong). and also to get more seats in the house and senate.
I wonder if the Forefathers of the United States (George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson) just to name a few…. Knew how much Corporations and the installment of the Federal Reserve would play out in the shaping of our government over time (in my opinion most of these groups have sinister urges) A government for the people, by the PEOPLE?
Right now we have such a media circus going on with the political arena in our country right now, it makes me sick. both sides spewing hate at one another that nothing can possibly get done! (it’s also diverting people away from what’s really going on) I myself am not hip on BIG government so I leaned more to a conservative or libertarian side, But you all know how disastrous the last eight years have been, A president who’s policies failed miserably, a vice president who overstepped his boundaries! But I didn’t vote for those fuckers including the one that’s in office right now. I wish more people could see these two individuals, who I think have more common sense then what money can buy! this is just my opinion.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUYDt7kC3Z0
People tell me that I waste my vote because these two don’t have a chance to win and who knows maybe they can’t do the job, but I feel in my heart that they’ll try and they have more common sense then the faces you see in the forefront of the parties right now and possibly not succumb totally to the financial/special interest. Yes we have special interests that influence our politicians here too and the general public gets left behind.
I was aware of some of the things mentioned in that piece “The Obama Deception” but I think it is well put together, and people can make up their own minds and just be aware.
But hey Rijk, thanks for giving me an insight on the governing body of your homeland and a little history lesson too
I maybe way out of line posting something on this subject matter on here (maybe the forum section might of possibly been a better choice), but it’s okay once in awhile to talk about this shit.
But back to the bigger picture
Yes, It seems like the “Old Bosses” are still in charge, and they’re still pulling the strings even to this day.
P.S. you say that there is still hope for the Dutch, I would like to say the same for Americans, but when you’ve had a “corruptive element” that has been around for a long time, It’ll take more than a fight to make a serious change.
And this is a part of the page translated by word.
I wouldn’t read it, word isn’t that great in translating
The clapper comes in paragraph 3: The President as well as the remaining members of the Council of commissioners are appointed each time for a period of four years by the shareholders from a recitation of three persons for each to fulfill a place, made up by the Council of commissioners.
- WHAT DO YOU MEAN the shareholders? In 1948, the state the only shareholder had nevertheless become? That is nationalization!. The shareholders do not carry now in practice for, but the representatives of the old owner as it happens, carry the sitting members of the RvC for!
After nationalization never drastic clean there to the top has been. The old powers stayed on and were possible then and up to today each other continue appoint. But that is certainly an independent elaboration certain direction the government… says simply a complete exclusion of the owner ever a decisive get influence within Dutch central bank.
After nationalization the people has therefore never got the control concerning the money creation in the Netherlands.
The fact which the recitation must come from three of the sitting commissioners and those commissioners originates from the old owner reflects, however, to that this power centre still entirely is checked by the original owner. The government has only one position in the Council of commissioners which exists from 10 persons, can never say something decisive. At the most this one person ever maximum 33% of the control can has. The government and wetens the power has therefore willens kept Dutch central bank at the old shareholders. Thereby by person, namely T. it has been designated richly. originated of the earl, from none political ( has been chosen) person manages of the civil servants and he. Also he has never on a chosen position functioned.
If we look at who there at present part determine of this Council of commissioners who have been appointed by… becomes the sitting members of the RvC, then in my eyes entirely clear that in any case the control Dutch central bank is seriously nationalized never.
There still a heir of the original founder of Dutch central bank in the Council of commissioners sits. This one person has to therefore introduce as many such as the owner, rich, who has someone there sit on behalf of the Dutch people.
ZKH has had the prince of Orange, as it happens, already since 1998 meeting in the Council. Other well-known names are a the family Fentener of Vlissingen, the richest family of the Netherlands.
We also encounter old politician Frits Bolkenstein. On behalf of which he sits there, nobody who the official knows, but he worked 16 years for Shell. He by means of had been, however, chosen functions operative in the Netherlands and Europe, but he is not the realm representative in the RvC. Moreover Frits a regular visitor of the buttock of the mount conference is, the meeting where also queen sees himself Beatrix frequently late, probably because its father is the founder of these meetings.
G.J. Kleisterlee the CEO of Philips, are also part of the RvC. Although very I to speak are concerning the knowledge and knowledge of these CEO, is it the question how much time he seriously can make to be able fulfil IF here a role of meaning, he already the people would sit. He sits that not, because he is not independent. To be will precede company importance undoubtedly always on the national importance. A considerable part of Philips is in the hands of what also the old owner of Dutch central bank is and also Kleisterlee are not at chance and CEO of Philips and part of the RvC. He sits there because of its knowledge, of course, but undoubtedly also from the fact that the shareholders Philips and old the owner of Dutch central bank have him terrible gladly.
E.Kist, where we know that also again of… That ever President of the Council of governing board of ING was… YOU know, however, the bank which had state support in 2008/2009 all of a sudden 50 billion necessary because the shareholders insisted this way on better performances… That whereas on grant only ING certificates noted and the shares stand under management stands of the administrative office that has asked never a critical question. That ING is represented here, is no surprise. Here too, just like at Philips the same owner which has still a considerable importance.
I come also Mr. A.H. of parts. The president of in The Hague the court. Is the role of commissioner at Dutch central bank, it manage of financial power combine with its independent role as right? The same person also President of the Council for the jurisdiction has been. In short, this is one of the persons who it has in the Netherlands for saying. He not only sits in the Council for commissioners, but sits also once more in the bank Council of Dutch central bank.
I have not been astonished concerning that my search to information also a complaint if these brought above water: http://www.sdnl.nl/bur-hr07.htm. Indefinite power of makes a person or organization corrupt. The judiciary, combined with financial power, makes untouchable.
Moreover AH of parts are also once more member of the commission of supervision of information and security service. Do not be mistaken yourself you, this man is one of the most powerful Dutch who walk around there and nearly nobody of the people which knows him. He has been preferred nowhere democratic for. He has been everywhere placed by still higher powers. You want read nice charge, then you must read also once what the revolutionary party is to happen. Very interesting reading material: http://www.burgersinactie.nl/download/080108%20dnb%20zkh%20c-%20-.pdf.
The question which calls himself, is now which the powers those these powerful people have these important roles have been given. Where does that invisibly power lie? That and does know isn’t she only mutually the dominant positions available, or is himself that invisibly power there really and is supervised by we and trusteeship of the international entrepreneurs and bankers?
Nowadays we have in the government and also once more on financial matter, Wouter bunch. Also he was, just like Frits Bolkenstein ever operative for Shell. Frits Bolkenstein, which determine part of the Council of commissioners of Dutch central bank, have been years also for 16 for Shell operative. It no surprise that venture also that has been deeply anchored zit in Dutch central bank. Absolutely no surprise. The question is only when Wouter bunch will join the RvC van DNB.
All in all sit there individually a number of capable people in this power block-system. People who have acquired an enormous reputation in their career and those proved , however, the e.e.a. in their top have. Do it is this way that it especially the drivers of the largest ventures are that meeting have. Drivers of in fact the old shareholders who have still executive and the checking power of our financial establishment in hands. For an institute which is nationalized , it a strange matter that to the effective owner is there this way say little has to. The fact which our money is managed by the capital with its own interests is a narrow idea, certainly now we must observe that this institute has failed the last years in a grotesque manner.
Its checking role proved to be a farce and its stabilizing role also.
The fact which the current owner (rich) can still no decisive influence exercise and to the fact that a member of the untouchable royal house is member of this club, is no publicity. In fact the membership of a heir of the founder is the strongest proof of the fact that the effective power structure has changed basically never.
It concerns there now not or the royal house himself desirable is, it concerns there or this important executive role of the royal house desirable is. In my eyes is that pertinent not the case. Enormous failing Dutch central bank must be also considered now in feite as failing the individual members of the RvC. In fact the owner (richly) the RvC and must send the Executive Board because of failure to house, which implies that we soon a king will get whom , has deserved figurative box on the ear of rich, the official owner of Dutch central bank .
The fact however that we cannot weed a this way badly functioning club, indicates already good that there is something fundamental wrong within the Netherlands.
Indicated like yesterday already, we do not live in a democracy. We live in finacratie. A society which is sent by the parties with large financial interests which have set up an appearance democracy which they have entirely from their financial power structure in the grip
and the only way a new boardmember can be apointed are by the bordmembers themselfs. The has one boardmember, the rest or the
googleing for the page I saw this one:
Because of the attention the former webpage got The prince has to leave the DNB the 2e chamber. A power struggle is gone take place and we will see who really is boss of the DNB
For the Dutch there is still hope

Dear Marina,
You looked great in that TV clip. You probably are much more lovely in person, but you did extremely well in that video!
Seesixcm6
Im recently a big fan your lessons have opened my language up and I actually know where certain words come from. Marina I would like to make a request [Tom Foolery], [you kids need to stop that tom foolery]
Even though I am not a big fan of O’Reilly gotta give him credit for his good taste in having our wonderful teacher there. Marina [lollygagging] I’m curious.
[Please words of YOUR FULL FEET baby]
I said it before, O’Reilly thinks he’s so smart!
That’s probably why they use the old words and not a brand new on.
Well, I am left with no other choice than to admit that this is a triple wow video!
