TGIF! Laugh while you can:
MY PRIVATE PART DIED
An old man, Mr.. Wallace, was living in a nursing home.
One day he appeared to be very sad and depressed.
Nurse Tracy asked him if there was anything wrong,
‘Yes, Nurse Tracy ,’ said Mr. Wallace.
‘My Private Part died today, and I am very sad.’
Knowing her patients were a little forgetful and sometimes a li ttle crazy,
she replied, ‘Oh, I’m so sorry, Mr. Wallace. Please accept my condolences.’
The following day, Mr. Wallace was walking down the hall with his Private Part
hanging out of his pyjamas.
He met Nurse Tracy. ‘Mr. Wallace,’ she said,
‘You shouldn’t be walking down the hall like that.
Please put your Private Part back inside your pyjamas.’
‘But, Nurse Tracy I can’t,’ replied Mr. Wallace.
‘I told you yesterday that my Private Part died.
‘Yes,’ said Nurse Tracy, ‘you did tell me that,
but why is it hanging out of your pyjamas?
‘Well,’ he replied, ‘Today is the viewing.’
ha ha ha,
great

Hey buddy 2 bands …on the Swan Song thingy…The Pretty Things…Balloon is Burning
…the question is…how this band is related to the ROLLING STONES?
also..Artists that released material on the Swan Song label during its existence included Led Zeppelin itself (including later solo releases by band members Jimmy Page and Robert Plant); Bad Company; The Pretty Things; Dave Edmunds; Mirabai; Maggie Bell (and the short-lived band she fronted, Midnight Flyer); Detective; Sad Café; and Wildlife
Bad Company. I knew they had a girls band on the label but I did not those other bands. I guess I should have said a band that any of us heard of. My Bad, leonard
My passion is
…both detective and bad company had Mott membersXXX
Ozzy ex bass player too…. 
All the way beevee…go All the WAY…OHIO
Speaking of “Ohio”, I love the bass line in this song, so I’m going to “Rush” to listen to it. The Pretenders
[I was watching the dick short for richard and detective video and you said dick had been being used for penis for decades so why do they call a penis a dick]

[marina says it feels right
I want to know where the word(s) [jackknife] came from
Hi

News Flash: YouTube Contest Challenges Users To Make A ‘Good’ Video
Hi,
Would you like to make video with word [hijack]? It’s a little bit crazy word and not all knows it. You can probably do with that some funny and teaching video. :’P
Greets, Psycho
Heyy, i just need to ask youu what does Triskaidekaphobia mean??? Im really confused sombody said it too me but idk what it is!!!!
Hi Marina! I would like to request the word [copycat]. спасибо
Does Marina still do the video word requests or did they vanish behind the blue screen.
word requests
http://www.hotforwords.com/wordrequest/
On a HotForWords interview there was mention of a lot of daily word requests coming in daily so there may be a wait. Unless maybe you come up with a word request that others have also requested in the past then it could show up on a HFWs video tomorrow.
haven’t done a video word request (yet)
Just not seeing them the last couple of video’s had me wonder.
Or unless your a former Royal Army Captain who had one “Beautiful” song, to put it Bluntly.
Hope that link works…here goes
yeah, if you have celebrity clout there’s no wait to get your word request up and on vid. *jk*
Request this mess…Strip Polka by Alvino Rey & His Orchestra c1942
…uSa…queers and steers…UsA
50 points for the answer..100 points to play
Ok, here is my 100 pts.
To keep us entertained and enlighten with his brilliant observations on those rare but truly magnificent moments we can fully understand them!
i have that cd “back to bedlam” available in most wall mart stores i suppose. some good songs on that. in fact i’m listening to that right now. ♫ beautiful dawn melts with the stars again…
did i forget to mention it’s on atlantic records- no.
led zeppelin is on atlantic records. perhaps there will be a big anniversary for the blimpheads, affectionately so, and we get a big led zep box set release with extras like bootleg live shows and interviews and a hd dvd with hand held camera home footage from john bonham’s farm, etc.
Led Zeppelin I, II, III, IV(Zoso, untitled, etc.), and Houses of the Holy were on Atlantic. In 1973 they started SwanSong Records and and the rest of their albums and anything after Bonham(I can’t believe you didn’t capitalize-I mean, did you ever try to play him?) died is on there.
Extra Credit Led Zeppelin only signed one band to there label. They had to get into a bidding war to sign them because they were one of the first ’supergroups’, with members from “Mott the Hoople” and “Free”. What is the name of this band?
Big 10 cookies to all who get it…
All pleasure’s the same: it just keeps me from trouble.
Hides my true shape, like Dorian Gray♪
I know the Bonman would care less if I capitalized his name or not. I give my respect to the 3 rings.
Sheesh, I’m done explaining myself here. End of story.
Like maybe you’re talking about Roy Harper and not Muddy Waters
Steve Winwood, Traffic, Cream, answer you want is probably in there.
No, that was ‘10 years after’
You didn’t even mention that there were soundtrack albums put out on the Swan Song label. So there.
I said all albums. Does that not include soundtracks? So there
I mean, yeah, I do Kashmir roto drumrolls on a drum kit made of soap bars when I shower in the morning.
I have a bad habit of playing air drums when I drive! The answer is Bad Co.
Detective…Detective…Detective was an American rock band that toured and recorded in the late 1970s. Detective consisted of vocalist Michael Des Barres, guitarist Michael Monarch, bassist Bob Pickett, keyboardist Tony Kaye, and drummer Jon Hyde. The band released two albums, Detective (produced by Jimmy Page under the pseudonym “Jimmy Robinson”) and It Takes One To Know One in 1977, as well as Live From The Atlantic Studios, a promotional LP recorded only for radio broadcast, in 1978.
The band appeared on episode 104 of WKRP in Cincinnati as the fictional hoodlum rock group Scum of the Earth.
Their record label was Swan Song Records.
going with 77 live version this time (heh)
I know that’s a cool track already, dixieland almost, haven’t finished listening to that yet, so..
Meat Puppets ~ (live audio ) Beatles Medley
So this is the way to do it
That’s a bit rich “James”, well-off the mark.
JAMES! I knew you would come back…
Of course it was Bad Co.
Firm
soundtrack albums, yeah, those are legit albums. what are you getting at
I have a Bonham w/Led Zeppelin question for you. Only hardcore Led Zep fans (and maybe even they don’t know) will know the answer
Question: What is unique about Bonham’s drumming on Led Zeppelin’s official album release recording of Kashmir(?) hints: It was left on the recording, though it was considered as something that would be mixed out in the final studio recording. Another hint: you’ll need very expensive recording stereo equipment to make out what that is. Lastly; Bonham went with it and it’s on the song Kashmir.
@beevee
extra credit
Okay, let’s forget that other stuff about Swan Song and concentrate on the extra credit part because Bad Company wasn’t the ONLY band besides Led Zeppelin that released album/s on that label.
You forgot to mention these bands
The Pretty Things; Dave Edmunds; Mirabai; Maggie Bell (and the short-lived band she fronted, Midnight Flyer); Detective; Sad Café; and Wildlife.
extra credit
I even supply proof, lol, so there

I would like to request the word [doghouse] thank you
You mean like where a dog lives? Ok. A doghouse is a house where a dog lives. A doghouse on a dwelling is a dormer or gable. A doghouse on a car is the two fenders and grill assembly. A doghouse on HFW is where I spend the majority of my time!
Move over, Gorby, ya freakin’ bedhog!!
I would like to request the phrase [ you have a chip on your shoulder]
That is a good one, Sean. I’ll double down* on that: [You have a chip on your shoulder] or just [chip on your/the shoulder].

I would like to request the word [aloof] thanks

Three more words for my intelligent sexy teacher to investigate. They are: [swirly, mooned, and gold digger]. The creep in the restroom smiled at me then grabbed his crotch. I stuck his head in the toilet and gave him a swirly. Marina’s car was mooned from the passing limousine. Some of Marina’s girlfriends are probably gold diggers. Remember to always dress hot than not.
“Gold digging” is worse than carving in sh*t. But pecunia non olet to many.

I’ve never been Three Tweets to the Wind or even Three Faces to the Wind (Facebook). I don’t drink or smoke. I think the kids (which I’m linked to generationally) call that straight-edge.
I would like your comment on the meaning and origin of the word [accelerate] and could it also mean to slow down?
[decelerate] means “slow down”.
Just another example of how Anglo-Saxon (“speed up,” “slow down”) has been cluttered up with a lot of [superfluous] Latin.
I understand that decelerate means to slow down. But in Webster’s New World Dictionary one definition applied for Physics is “to cause a change in the velocity…” and does not say speed up or down therefore one might assume that accelerate could imply a decrease in speed.
In scientific terms you are right; an acceleration can have a plus or a minus value, or even have both plus and minus values if you are considering more than one axis, however in normal layman’s language, as Evan said, a minus acceleration is called a deceleration.
I said “Slow down!”

Speaking of Trunk Dwittering, Here is not only my favorite drunk song, but also the story of my life. One Bourbon, One Scotch, and One Beer
She say, you got the rent money yet
I say no,can’t find no job…
Alot of people don’t know that the opening to this song is an old delta blues standard made famous by John Lee Hooker, ‘House Rent Blues’.
Now I got this rent money together,
Come on y’all, lets have a ball
A man after my own heart
and a fantastic bluesman
good one beevee14, I drank to that.
I just Love George Thorogoods rendition of that song as a tribute to his idol John Lee Hooker…
She Said ” you got the rent money yet Sucker!” … she said “I dont believe you been trying find no job I saw you today I seen you standing up against a post”
I said “But I was tired I been walking all day!”
She said “That dont confront me just as long as I get my rent money by next Friday!!”
“But for five years she was so nice … rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Lordy mama she was lovey dovey”
No lie, BV

That sound bite you repeat is widely believed because there is some merit to it since the FED took no action to resolve this crisis as it was going on, (Greenspan famously said we could weather draw down in liquidity by lowering discount rates and increasing debt) but it hides more than it reveals by putting blame on the folks who held the coats of the perps.
Since 2000 the US has had a huge draw down (about $8 trillion) of currency held by foreigners. By 2007 liquidity shortages combined with rule changes on loan reporting following Enron fiasco broke our banking system. Political response has weakened our banks and stocks instead of correcting the problem.
Foreigners were put in this position by Reagan’s ‘fix’ of the S&L crisis in 1980 which set us up for this crisis while it allowed us to whip inflation by selling debt to the Chinese for a generation.
Bush’s total inability to function as an effective President in a crisis ended the Leontief Paradox unfavorably for the USA.
Obama’s inability to apprehend what needs to be done has led us in the wrong direction by making our markets less competitive not more competitive.

We basically have spent a lot of money on maintaining our military dominance in the nuclear age, and the economic chickens have come home to roost – brought about in part by mismanagement over the past 8 years.
The good news is we can fix this by abandoning the paradigm of the 1940s and adopting ideas more appropriate to the 2010s.

The last time I was ‘3 tweets to the wind’, I woke up and said, “Why am I naked and who are all of these people?”
Like I always say: You haven’t had fun till you wake with an empty birdcage in the room, a bra on the ceiling fan and feathers in your mouth!

No, it’s just a wick to stick it (up)
Is that whats known as a sticky wicket or a wicky stick-it
How did I double post? That never happened before
did you drink
It’s what happens when you tweet when drunk.
I was wondering where we got the word [guile]. I was reading a poem and the word appeared in the lines “As if that eye and bitter smile/ Transfered to others fear and guile.” and it seemed out of context when I looked up the definition.
Since the meltdown of the economy has led a lot of people to ruin, where did the terms [road to ruin] and [wrack and ruin] come from?
Not the origin of the terms, but the origin of the current situation: FED

Tweet me silly and 3 sheets lost in the wind
[punt] is that indention on bottom of bottle?…from glass making (punty)
…Marina is boozed from the mulling[spiced and heated wine] …In heat, so lets tweet nude
3 tweets to the wind? I don’t get it, I think it’s too long.
Thats what she said
“I don’t get it, I think it’s too long.” by animaltaz…the monkey got its tale cut off from twinking 
Look up “Three sheets to the wind” in her lessons. It’s a sailing term for being drunk.
Already made you a link (second posting)
Swizzling.
Marina, I noticed you used the correct “3″ with respect to the latest Brad Pitt movie.
Marina, is it true that the origin of the word [chivalry] is unknown because comprehensive definition of the word is elusive?
*How many of you guys have see the movie “A Knights Tale”? What did you think of it?
“CHIVALRY IS NOT YET DEAD!!!”
No, but it does seem like it is in a vegetated state.
I totally agree!
There has been a few times I’ve been out on dates and scolded for attempting to show some chivalry. I guess the modern woman expects to be treated differently. Sad though, for it’s fun thing for a guy to do in my opinion. It’s even kind of nice when a women returns the favor but I feel very awkward (even a bit embarrassed) about it.
I think—the word comes from an ex-general from France that settled in Alabama and that was after the defeat of the Republic of Napoleon….look it up—-I don’t want to argue with women
Have a g00d day JACK 
Next time just pretend you don’t know, then maybe Marina will do a video of it.
Better yet, lets make up some bogus theories. Yeah!!! 
Thanks, and you too.
I love you too
That’s what I get from boozing 
[BRANDy]
Bogus theories sometimes work. I wrote a post once that “handkerchief” is onomatopoeia for a sneeze, and she did a video to correct me.
Awe, so it does work. hummm… interesting. very interesting. I think there is a prank in the making.
[Chivalry] obviously comes from the French word cheveu, meaning “hair.” In medieval France, it was considered polite for a man to court a woman by brushing her hair. By extention, being [chivalrous] came to mean any politely attentive behavior toward women. The custom was also the source of the word “groom” as in “bride and groom,” as the groom had been “grooming” the bride’s hair.
It’s true, I tell you!
Evan attempts to fill in for CampKohler.Yes, But between the 11th century and 15th centuries Medieval writers often used the word [chivalry], but its definition was never consistent between authors, and its meaning would change on a regional basis, and even over time. Further more, its modern meanings are different from its medieval meanings. So how do you explain that?
I suspect chivalry in its modern meaning doesn’t originate from the French word cheveu, but goes back to the Latin word caballus. Which we then get Cab from Old New York taxi cab. So on and so fish with baggy rinkles covered in taco sauce. Anyone have their finger on my Eggo?
I swam across the Skagit River* the other day, and emerged all chilled and [chivalry] — but not dead.
OK, I’ll quit horsing around.

LOL mossbacks!

Plus 1% of all canadian sales, HEHE! Isn’t it fabulous?
I would like to request the word [blowjob]
I know what it means, just want to know how it came around : )
That word has already been done. Not a YouTube video but I think it was a Sirius Satellite Radio show. Maybe one of the TAs or students might know which episode it was.
I was surprised to find out the word has nautical origins. Leave it the our master teacher to do a word that none of the books in my collection had the word.
When Marina originally made the TA page she kidded about people would think that’s what it meant.
There’s a lot of good nerd words at Nerd Words of the Day section. I always check those out.
Birds luv to eat those red berries off trees and get intoxicated from that and then they tweet around high Woodstock from Peanuts
My birds like yellow berries ….then we make bird of brandy pie
[Dog-eat-Dog] or [Dog DAYS] grand Lesson, hey greatestpotential?
Spending the [Dog Watch] [in the doghouse]of the [dogger] for having written [doggerel] on the [dog-eared] pages of the [dog-in-the-manger][dogberry]’s copy of Hotforwords’ philological [dogma].
Don’t laugh, I’m Sirius.
[porter]
A truly “Rigel” display of wordplay, Bob — a stellar performance. No one can accuse you of caterwauling.
Anyone who did that would be barking up the wrong tree.
[Is this where we get the word [barking] meaning that someone is mad]?
Doh! It took me an hour to get, but for anyone else as slow as me, “Sirius” is also known as the Dog Star, in the constellation Canis Major (the “Big Dog.”)
Can I see your punning licence, Sir?
It might be time for a refesher course.
Maybe a canister or two of beer would help? [] []
Give me a break — I only “Vega”-ly remember my astronomy!
Are we going to wax “Lyra”-cle on stellar puns?
I’m always sober (a hardcore teetotaller), but I often write such kinda things as if I was heavily drunken or baked.
Drinking and writing have a long history:
The Philosophers’ Drinking Song
The Philosophers Drinking Song. A.K.A The Australian Drinking Song. As performed by the mighty Pythons. Lyrics;
Immanuel Kant was a real pissant
who was very rarely stable.
Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar
who could think you under the table.
David Hume could out consume
Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel,
And Wittgenstein was a beery swine
who was just as sloshed as Schlegel.
There’s nothing Nietzsche couldn’t teach ya
’bout the raisin’ of the wrist.
Socrates himself was permanently pissed.
John Stuart Mill, of his own free will,
after half a pint of shandy was particularly ill.
Plato, they say, could stick it away,
‘alf a crate of whiskey every day!
Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle,
and Hobbes was fond of his dram.
And Rene Descartes was a drunken fart:
“I drink, therefore I am.”
Yes, Socrates himself is particularly missed;
A lovely little thinker, but a bugger when he’s pissed.
–Monty Python
I would have thought that the last couplet would have referred to Plato, who, I read somewhere, was partial to little boys. Ironic that he gave his name to Platonic love, then.
I drink, therefore I am.
I’m drunk, therefore I was.
What is so horrible about getting drunk? Just ask a glass of water.
I think you should always have a designated tweeterer in these situations.
I’ve seen enough airings of “Over the limit, under arrest!”
Or does that apply to Twitter in the form of the 140 character limitation?
TUI makes people tweet all over the place.
My fiancee (whose last name is Orlova!) and I disagree about what [know]means. She said I knew something that we had talked about but had forgotten about. I at first claimed that that meant that I didn’t know it, but then realized that it’s possible to know something that one has forgotten about. Is it? Also, can one know something that is false? If one discovers a mistake s/he has made, must then one say that s/he didn’t know it, but now does? Wouldn’t that mean that one can never be certain of what one knows, since it’s impossible to know when one has made a mistake until it has been corrected?
Dear Marina,
For health reasons, I never get drunk, so I never tweet while drunk. Since you assured us you will get naked when you’re drunk, I’ll be happy to provide you all the high-quality vodka you’d need on our dates!
If men drink to make women look more beautiful to them, I won’t need to drink at all when I’m with you. You already are too beautiful for me, and alcohol might make me more relaxed than I’d want to be.

My dear teacher, I have two word requests for you. The first is [rip off] and the second is [Russian Roulette]. Marina is too sweet and too sexy to be a rip-off. You must have some good russian roulette stories? Keep it 100, my dear teacher.
A good Russian roulette story
They all have a bad ending. 
I got three out of five.
For those of you who may not get the reference,
to the phrase Three tweets to the wind!
Marina also did an excellent video on the phrase;
Three sheets to the wind!

I’ve drank and tweeted before.
Not now tho, huh?
Nope. I’ve only had one beer this month. Some times I drink on beer a night and some times once a month. It’s all good. People say I’m really funny/silly when I drink. It’s impossible for me to get angry when I have been drinking. If I get impossible to deal with, just buy me a few beers and it all goes away. Bad reason to drink hu?
That’s the same with me, the guard is dropped / the brakes are of and the funny remarks come floating to the top.
Ps.
Either she is really drunk or she’s acting, cause that bottle hasn’t been opened
Cool.
My friend Jeff of the cruise ship that I crewed on is similar. He would drop his guard down and tell some funny stories that you would end up breaking ribs from laughing so hard.
I enjoy drinking with people who have a fun/happy disposition. Makes social drinking enjoyable.
Oh I think shes just acting. Though I think Marina might be a really fun person to be around when shes had a few.
