If I have fallen for one, then they must be pretty good, for I still don’t know it.
Oddly enough, as soon as this lesson was finished I got a phishing e-mail. The “spam” button was clicked.

When pFhishing always bring [Word Choice]–Flat as a Pancake
… 
The Word Chef teaches kids to write using cooking analogies. In this episode, Flat Ana is visiting. We’re talking about Word Choice and making pancakes–in honor of Ana’s “flat as a pancake” condition.
I’ll go fishing with you and will clean and cook’em; if you can catch’em with out a net
Bandit goes fishing
…Bandit still hasn’t caught a fish, but she keeps trying. Bandit only has 2 more weeks to live with me until she goes to her new foster family. (They have a family of raccoons that they feed on the back porch every night.) This is the worst part about animal rehab — it’s so hard to release them after you’ve become attached….the video says!!!…pete and repeat
That was a very cute story leonard. I raised two Raccoons from the time they were six weeks old until they died 12 years later. Their mother had been run over by a car. We could handle them just like regular pets. They would eat M&Ms out of my children’s hands and play with them like a cat or dog. I am glad my children got to spend time with two such beautiful creatures. Now on a different note we tried to raise a baby goat. Well that was a cluster F from day one. He had to go after I found him standing on top of our car in the yard. No more goats. lol
@Bob I am reciting kinda like reTweeting a post you made on
To let the members who didn’t read your comment a chance to see how to avoid Phishing sites.
Phishing is a special kind of rick-rolling — it is rick-rolling done for the purpose of stealing information.
Re: Today’s quote
Shouldn’t that be [Verve]?
“A bachelor of Arts is what is left of beauty after virtue has been extracted.”
– I don’t know who the hell said that.
“And a bachelor is what is left of arts after beauty has been extracted.”
– Probably said by the same weirdo above.
A bachelor is what is left of La Dolce Vita after tarts have been extracted.
And a very subtle perfume is what is left of a tart after it has been processed.
JA got me nerves Up…
..One author well-known for his use of *[anaphora]* is Charles Dickens (seen in quote below). Some of his best-known works constantly portray their themes through use of this literary tool.
Examples
In time the savage bull sustains the yoke,
In time all haggard hawks will stoop to lure,
In time small wedges cleave the hardest oak,
In time the flint is pierced with softest shower.
— Thomas Kyd, The Spanish Tragedy, I, vi. 3
What the hammer? what the chain?
In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? what dread grasp
Dare its deadly terrors clasp?
— William Blake, “The Tyger”
@Leonard,
Forsooth, thy art sometimes misleading, but thou art without a doubt carrying a very interesting package of knowledge indeed, haha.
We shall go on to the end,
we shall fight in France,
we shall fight on the seas and oceans,
we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air,
we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be,

we shall fight on the landing grounds,
we shall fight in the fields and in the streets,
we shall fight in the hills;
we shall never surrender …

Why do they call it a [blow job], when it is just the exact opposite?
BLOW JOB…why blow, when what is the exact opposite?
According to Bill Clinton getting a blow job is not having sex with your partner. I wonder how Monica Lewinsky took the job into hand. As you said leonard, is oral sex more that just kissing? Hmmmm or was she just performing a job for Bill and he was just kissed off?
Bill was right; it was having sex with someone who was not his partner.
I know you have seen Bill’s partner ie Hillary Clinton. Heck I would do her.
That would be Hillaryous if it wasn’t so sad.
Personally, I think Bill’s dog is more attractive.

Hey Marina, how about the word [Dodgers], my all time favorite sports franchise. i am gonna buy your book, looks good and interesting. i am also wondering whether your going to come out on a Go Daddy commercial on TV. keep us updated…bue
Hi Марина i was wondering, what is the origin of the word [Catatonia]
Catatonia is the place where dead cats go to atone for their sins of killing birds and small mammals.
Keep your cats in cages and set the birds free.
Cage the cats and free the birds? NO WAY!
Thank you for your respect.
I disagree with your statement but I respect your right to express it, especially since the picture proves my point; it’s not the eagle that is carrying the cat away but the cat that’s attempting to bring the eagle down by hanging onto its tail feathers.
I don’t know what the cat is trying to do, but I see that the eagle is trying to flee. I think it’s a classic avian case of cowardice paired with a classic feline case of chasing your own tail. You’ll never catch it. You may have the sun in your face in front of you when you fall asleep, but as soon as you wake up the next morning it’s on your back, ready to chase you! A hamster wheel is a very decent illustration of this principle.
Thank you, we had a good guffaw at the hamster, however I feel that your oration would have been better served by an [orrery] than a hamster wheel.
It’s a good thing the planet doesn’t spin that fast – life doesn’t suck hard enough to hold us all onto the surface.
You sure add some extra-dimension to the hamster wheel perspective here. But anyways. I learn a new word today, orrery, and I thank you for this.
If you’re not supposed to stick Q-tips in your ears, what the h*ll are they for?
Just wondering if I am the only one to notice the spelling error in your twitter photo of the “BE” poster (dareing should be daring). I have enjoyed gaining much knowledge from you over the last couple years, but have not commented until now!
How can you tell if you have logged into a fake website
Now that’s a very good question
How to spot a fake web site – Phishing.
Thank you for your help
Hello Marina,how are you
Is that a new laptop computer you have there using in your Phishing picture?The one that is red and I think gold designs all over it,with an apple design on it.That computer sure looks keen 
As for phishing I hate it and I’am totally against it.I wish they could get rid of it all together 
Thank you for your time Marina,and have a very wonderful day 
Would you please tell me the difference between [LIBERTY] and [FREEDOM]?
Good ones, wave…Liberty (goddess)
From Wikipedia:
Statue of Liberty and Liberty Island in New York HarborGoddesses named for and representing the concept Liberty have existed in many cultures, including classical examples dating from the Roman Empire and some national symbols such as the British “Britannia” or the Irish “Kathleen Ni Houlihan”.
Classical examples
The ancient Roman goddess Libertas was honored during the second Punic War by a temple erected on the Aventine Hill in Rome by the father of Tiberius Gracchus. A statue in her honor was also raised by Clodius on the site of Marcus Tullius Cicero’s house after it had been razed. The figure also resembles Sol Invictus, the Roman god of sun.
National embodiments of Liberty include Britannia in the United Kingdom, “Liberty Enlightening the World,” commonly known as the Statue of Liberty[1] in the United States of America, and Marianne in France. Father Freedom
Would you please tell me the difference between LIBERTY and FREEDOM?
Henry was a single guy living at home with his father and working in his own business.
When he found out he was going to inherit a fortune someday when his sickly father died, he decided he needed a wife with which to share his fortune.
One evening at an investment meeting he spotted the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. Her natural beauty took his breath away. “I may look like just an ordinary man,” he said to her, “but in just a few years, my father will die, and I’ll inherit 20 million dollars.”
Impressed, the woman obtained his business card.
Three weeks later, she became his stepmother.
Women are so much better at estate planning than men.
“¿Quién es? ¿Quién es?”
– Billy the Kid (July 1881)
Henry McCarty
AKA
William Bonnie.
In fact, Billy’s real name was probably Henry McCarty. He was also know as Kid Anrim and ultimately, for an unknown reason, chose the name William H. Bonney. He was 5-feet-3 and weighed 125 pounds. He was always in trouble with the law and did time for robbing a Chinese laundry. After he killed a blacksmith in a barroom fight in Arizona, he fled to New Mexico and immortality.
There is a–America’s pop culture through a seemingly endless stream of books, articles and films.
letter written by Billy the Kid to Gov. Lew Wallace asking for clemency. If you recall, Wallace was a Civil War general who is best known for his epic book, “Ben-Hur” and served as territorial governor for New Mexico.
Cap: interesting the old west of our history…
thanks for making me see more of this,[AMERICANA]…what do new citizens think?
Thanks for the History lesson leonard. I have watched a few old westerns about Billy the Kid and each one has a different story about his life and how he died. They always portrayed him as William Bonney and never mention what his real name was. Old west History is always interesting to find the truth from the pasted down old tales.
Capman911: again I wondered, why America(USA) has an economic approach like
…Interesting how the gang-land style “Hollywood’s cinema” treats the historical accounts of government contracts…

I would like to request the word [flea market]
When it comes to online banking websites, there’s an easy way to check that you’re not on the fake website of a phisher: Just take a look at the internet address, it should start with “https://”, not with “http://”. The additional “s” means that the connection is encrypted and that a certificate authority has issued a certificate for the website owner. Some browsers like Firefox display the owner of the certificate in a green field left to the internet address. Usually, the browser also displays a key or a padlock symbol. When you click on that symbol, you can take a look at the certificate if you like.
When you see all this, it is safe to enter your login information (as long as your computer isn’t infected with a trojan). But if the internet address does not start with “https” or your browser displays a warning message that says that there’s something wrong with the certificate, that’s a sign that there’s something wrong with that site.
This encryption and identification method is called Transport Layer Security (TLS). Besides all trustworthy banks, some other companies like ebay are using TLS on their login pages as well. Unfortunately, Youtube doesn’t use this method.
The strange thing here is that I’ve read about a study some time ago which says that many internet users don’t care when such warning messages are displayed, possibly because they believe that they are on their bank’s website and they can trust their bank. These people don’t realize that such warning messages mean that the website that they’re watching probably doesn’t belong to their bank but to someone who can’t be trusted.
I wanted to request the word [Apologize] lol since I’m just recently learning how to do it. thanks!
Tweet dreams tweeps.
Twenos noches.
I have never been a victim of Phishing, and i don’t know anyone who has. However Marina I have recently purchased your book and i have found it to be very interesting.
i was wondering where the expression [what on earth/what in the world?] came from.
I would like to request the word [shyster].
[cuffed]—The word cuff: “I’ll cuff you you boy…leonard”, said his lord of land and boss to FooD; “now back to work”!! “wedge the burrow to drain and many rabbits will be born”
…link me to the sleeve trimmings
[off the cuff]…We had to “cuff our smoke”…means to hide 
Something is working [FUNny]

.Marina you like high heel shoes right? Do you have a pair of these?
Great for walking backwards up those Hollywood Hills.
Marina, I recently watched “The Big Labowski” and in it they say the word “dude” about 160 times. So I was wondering where the word [dude] came from. Thanks!
Hey silver0151,
The word [Dude] may have been “coined” for the “mainstream” as far as how we use it today from the 1969 movie “Easyrider.” Here’s a montage of Jack Nicholson, one of the stars of this film. Of course I might be wrong so anybody out there feel free to correct me if you feel like it. It’s always been there in the “Surf” and “Skater” clicks. This word could possibly rank up there with the word “f**k” as far as how many uses it has.
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=dude
What happened?
Marijuana and UFOs 
DON’T BOGART ME!
Laater… dudes and dudettes
Hey Marina, My buddies and I want to know the background of the word [extradition]. Where did it come from? Why do countries need an extradition treaty to arrest fugitives? What is the best beach town in Brazil to live?
Thanks very much for your time and consideration
Hello Marina
I’ve been wondering about the phrase [having a baby]. When a woman or girl is pregnant, why is she “having a baby” and not having a fetus? And the same phrase is used again when she gives birth to the baby, she is said to “have a baby,” but why?
Also, the term [knocked up] also which means pregnant, but is not used for referring to giving birth.
Where does [Hunky Dory] come from?
Homework Nope, I’ve never fallen for any phishing scams. My email services are very good about putting that stuff in the trash or junk, and I never open them! I only delete them!
Homework:
Well not google or youtube, but they did try it for some bank-accounts. Didn’t fall for it. So same as you a target yes, a victim no.
Marina, isn’t America On Line the same as AOL? Maybe it would be better to say “American On Line, aka AOL”?
To answer your question is there a way to get a Log and pass without phishing? The short answer is Yes. It’s challenging & fun, but it’s a slow process if you need hundreds of LPs. I’m shocked that to this day the process still works.
No, I’m not going to tell anyone how it can be done, Period.
Have I ever been phished? Nope, not yet. I’ve come close though. Some of those fake websites are very cleverly disguised. YouTube is the worst though. One can do a overlay that cleverly disguises the fake page. I just seen one 4 days ago. Very well crafted.
Hey Marina I have a request it’s the pharse [the john] like when someone goes to the restroom thanks.=)
I had a couple of false charges on my account from Zapos and Sexy Drunken Orgies which I complained to the merchant and had the charges to my account rescended. But I know from the common news not to give out my social security number or my bank account number.
[SKILLS] not [skulls]
…speaking of a clean stick or slick or shtick
I love this H*ot-F*or-W*ords educational development!!!
Phishermen are a whole phreaking bunch of sorry hypocrites. They deserve to be confused, and not answered. Or at least to be ignored.
Marina, I’ve just noticed the Louis Vuitton AppleMac; How long have you had that?
You’ll probably also be interested in the Infiniti Essence, a new concept car that comes with a custom set of LV luggage.
I would like to request the phrase [fall asleep]
because you’re not ACTUALLY falling…
i would like to request the word [Pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism]
I have never been phished. I am too clever. A lot of people are just ignorant and deserve it though. Good lesson Marina.
Oh did you see George that time? I did. It’s very kewl!
Next time I ‘ll ask you to Neuro it and you’ll know enough

Speaking of M & J, I was thinking, where is Mjj?

Stop it you bastard! LOL
Ohh that walking thing wasn’t to smart, now they’re gone walk to me
Oh that dirty bastad’s into my clothes again
I’ve had occasion to report fhishing attempts on a number of occasions but, so far, I haven’t been fooled by any. Common sense and Sitehound have helped me to stay swimming phree.
I normally don’t open emails from unknown senders. You have to be clever because sometimes phishers use common names like “eBay” in their titles, Wolves in sheep’s clothing they are. Additionally, I think phishers are targeting sleepyheads, drunkards, the inexperienced, and the senile, as well as the overbusy multi~taskers, to give out information by unthinkingly clicking on untrustworthy links. Luckily, I seldom fit into more than 3 out of 5 of those specifications at any given time.
OMG Marina, September never looked so good
Please tell me you have another calender coming out for next year. 
Hello beautiful.
Can you educate me on the how the word [ROOKIE] came about? Where did it originate and why is it used to describe an inexperienced person?
Thank you,
Nate
Hi Marina, I was wondering where the word [f**k] comes from. I realize you may not be able to do a video on this but if you can cool. If not could you email the answer? A friend of mine says it comes from a time when people needed the kings permision to fornicate, therefore, a sign would be posted on their door which read ” fornicating under consent of the king”. I guess it makes sense but is it true?
ps. I love your educational videos.
Hello surfexplorer13,
Marina discusses the F-word in her new book.
I list three links to websites where you can purchase the book.
In the meantime, you can also read
Marina’s top 10 Word Myths here. The F-word is myth #1.
Here is a radio show where the host and Marina talk around the F-word and in the comments Marina says that she would do a video on the F-word.
No but I have had Ben & Jerry’s Phish Phood Ice Cream.
[paravaler] or [paravala].
Oh yeah, I remember requesting this word so many months ago. I think it was back during that phreaking lesson.
Yep, definitely way back then.
hey marina i have a request something i saw today on twitter.. Why do people say, “[tough cookie." For example, "Oh i feel like shit." -- "You're a tough cookie, you'll be fine." what is this?] why a tough cookie xD sorry for cursing thats how i saw it
Hey Marina! Just got your book and I loved every page of it! Must have been a long day of shooting, though, if page 13 is any indication. Poor dear.
Nautical Nonsense ? Hoist the [JIB] Marina, I’m a Sailor well I am a Certified [Shellback] that’s a term for someone who crossed the Equator 0 degrees latitude. It’s quite interesting initiation but King neptune requires that you be found worthy to be numbered as one of his trusty [Shellbacks] into the Solemn mysterys of the Ancient Order of the Deep! It requires to crawl around on hands and knees in t-shirt and shorts and to be spanked constantly with a cut off piece of firehose called a shelalli until you have crawled around the entire ship, at which time you have to kiss the Royal Baby and take a cherry from his belly button with whip cream surrounding it then the certificate, It has to be signed by Davey Jones and Neptunus Rex. It’s called a [Shellback] Certificate. This a true initiation but differs slightly from ship to ship! Knowing you love Nautical Nonsense, this is but one of my questions ? Where did the term [Shellback] come from ? Bye my wonderful Teacher, I’m waiting for your answer! Your faithful student Giovanni
Hello johndelfino,
But are you a Golden Shellback? Well, I came close. I crossed the equator several times so have done several ceremonies. Missed the opportunity for Golden Shellback as we were evading a storm and on our return trip we missed it again due to mission critical detours.
Welcome to the HotForWords site.
like you I got hooked once but immediately figured it out and did as you, since then I see it coming and FWD to [spoof]
Dear Marina,
Interesting video. No, I haven’t been “phished.” But you already know our passwords because you assigned them when we subscribed to you! I’m glad you’re so nice, honest and decent! You’re lovely in your low-cut dress!
I thought you would give out the answer to your “sen’night” question you asked in your previous video. But you didn’t make it a GTW game, so I guess you might not answer it at all.
Here’s a word request: [diet]. You’re so thin, slender, lithe, but curvaceous, you must know this word thoroughly!

Hello Hot for Words,
I love your website. You’re a brilliant woman. I admire how you went from sharing the etymology of words on You Tube to accomplishing your super popular website you have now. You have inspired me to want to learn more. Thank you. Would you please look into the word [dog eat dog] and present it like only you can? Thanks again. You rock!
Your sincere fan,
Luke
I got phished just a few hours ago! I was notified of a new lesson from you. So I went and looked. And there you were, blond and all, talking about the origin of noob. But then I noticed that the video was not filed under Lessons! That was a dead giveaway! So I put away my notebook and pen and went outside to play. I came back, and lo and behold! here’s the latest lesson from the real you!
No I have never gone phishing. If I don’t recognize the site or url I don’t go there.
Hey Marina! Do you have any interesting stories for the word STOP?
Hi Captain Jack…[stop]…THE HOLLIES – Stop Stop Stop (1969)
single-times-of-[putsch]….
…great story
Cool song

I’ve had a number of ATTEMPTS from “social network” sites, but they requested info I knew they had, and my initial reaction to their E-Mails was something , though I wasn’t exactly sure what, was amiss. Some of the most blatant ones (One even had a call from an 800 number…)were turned over by E-Mail forwarding to the FCC and FBI. Your state may also have a Cyber-Fraud division of the state Attorny General’s Office.
Then of course, there’s the ubiquitus E-Mail from the foreign government or bank dignitary requesting the use of your bank account, (and for JUST a small fee of about $10K, usually) so they can transfer millions into the US with a hefty “split” for your services. (You Bet’cha!)
Generally, if your first impression is that something doesn’t look right, your brain has a greater capability of spotting things that are “off”, than most people believe…go with your “gut reaction”.
And of course, if something sounds too good to be true, odds are it is.

No, but then, my credit is such, that they might improve it by accident.
Mine too.
That reminds me of the guy who didn’t report the theft of his wife’s credit card because the thief was charging less to it than his wife.
