    Wow. I always thought there was no rhyme or reason to the term ‘Jesus H Christ’, that it was just slang. But now I see there’s a real basis to the ‘H’. Fascinating. And here I thought the ‘H’ might stand for… HotForWords! :grin: But I suppose that would be Jesus HFW Christ… :razz:

    I am reminded of a concept I recently learned of, one I still haven’t quite grasped. It has to do with biblical translation of the Book of Genesis. Apparently, the first line of Genesis (in the original Hebrew) started with the letter beta (or, more precise, the Hebrew letter equivolent to beta), and there is some question why the first line wouldn’t more accurately be started with the letter alpha (or, more precise, the Hebrew letter ‘aleph’). It is said that if that first line were to start with the aleph instead of the beta, it would have a whole other meaning to it, albeit similar to “In the beginning…”. Anybody else heard this one before? I doubt it, as it is a relatively obscure concept, but it would sure be interesting if somebody more knowledgable in this field could explain this concept a lot better than I have.

    Thanks for another informative lesson, Marina. And I got a good laugh out of that HUGE car you were in. They don’t make boats like that anymore! Peace and love, Errin : )

    Hwk: Go to hell. Burn in hell. Jesus Mary & Joseph. May the Devil take you. I’ll be damned. God damn-it. Holy Christ. For Christ’s sake.

  3. Jesus has his shroud of Turin. Well, I’m here today to lift the shroud of silence off that which has remained unutterable and unspoken for so long, or not.

    [mother-earth][earth-mother]

    According to the Athenian rhetorician Isocrates, the greatest gifts which Demeter gave were cereal (also known as corn in modern Britain), which made man different from wild animals; and the Mysteries which give man higher hopes in this life and the afterlife.

    Demeter’s emblem is the poppy, a bright red flower that grows among the barley….Thesmophoria was a festival held in Greek cities in honor of the goddesses Demeter and her daughter Persephone. The name derives from thesmoi, or laws by which men must work the land :-)

    On being a sellout:

    I wonder if someone offered to buy hotforwords.com off marina for $1,000,000 if Marina would accept i.. I don’t think she would, but it is a strange though of hfw being under new ownership

    • No respected investor would spend that kind of money on the domain. It’s worthless without her work behind it. Buying a part of her company would be a smart investment. They would basically take control of the company and Marina becomes an employee. You have to figure in that the VC needs to get their money back out of the deal.

      Would I think Marina would sell out? Not a chance.

  13. George says he’s going to lend me $40,000 bucks. I’m debating if I should take on that much debt. He says it’s the American way. It will boost the economy says he. Georges even says it’s no big deal if I don’t pay it back. Hum.. Can I trust George?

    Marina,

    In your book, you talk about your love for Philology — how do the two prerequisites mentioned in my latest lesson apply to your love?

  20. 137mach says: 92

    What is the origin of the phrase (shits and giggles)? Thanx

  21. Rijk says: 91

    Extra homework: Bloody Mary, or would that be more of the pirate talk

    • Hs4Mm says: 91.1

      Can my browser settings be preventing George from showing himself in it?

      • Rijk says: 91.1.1

        No they can’t. Just checked it for you but in both Firefox and Internet Explorer you should be able to see him.

        What did you do so var to find him?

        • Hs4Mm says: 91.1.1.1

          Looked at every part of the page, clicked on ads, logged out and logged back in (she once said that he shows up when one logs out).

          (I was referring to settings in firefox browser’s tools->options->privacy, security tabs.)

      • Rijk says: 91.1.2

        I just downloaded firefox because the twitterbox didn’t work, that’s something like two weeks ago, I haven’t changed any of the settings. So I doubt that’s the problem.

        Sounds like you did everything I did. To be honest, I looked and I couldn’t find him, than I was just surfing the site. When I changed the window-size of the site the ads moved, and when I maximized they didn’t return to their position. I was checking that, and all of a sudden there he was.

        But maybe it is an IP thing, look at the list who can see him:
        James, PedanticKarl, Captain Jack and me

        Who else can see him I don’t know, but analysing the list I see a pattern, with the exception of me she all likes those guys.
        I am very critical towards her so maybe that’s way I get to see him, but I don’t really know. But my criticism she can use, if all you say is that everything she does is great and she looked wonderful, lets face it that’s nice to hear, but it doesn’t really help her get any better.
        Marina, can tell you why, I am just guessing. So if you really want to know ask her.

        Do you still know where Marina said the thing about being logged off/in. Go there and analyse the posts of James, CJ and me. (I spoke about the moon, but that darn search-function doesn’t work anymore).

        I hope you get to find him, after all you have done you deserve it . I can’t tell you where to look, or she probably is gonna expel me for life. I think I am already gonna get into trouble just writing this.

        This is the best advice I can give you:
        Maybe you too should stop looking and just surf the site. And maybe all of a sudden you think is that who I think its is…. Don’t let George become an obsession for you !

      • Rijk says: 91.1.3

        Ooohhh, she is probable gonna have me for breakfast for this.
        Marina, please don’t be to hard on me.
        Maybe because of her illness she doesn’t read this. That would be nice :)

        You are right, its one lesson later. But the site-rebuild has made the reaction of James gone missing. :( It was something like: stop that you….
        Take M’s first hint and than the one from CJ and me. If you see him you know what we meant!

        How did you find that one so quickly, does the search function work for you, I only get the hits for Marina’s opening lines.
        I see I didn’t use the word moon, but a YT hint towards moon. The walking to me is my gravatar ;)

    I have heard people say J* or J* C*, but this is the first time I heard the use of “H” between the J* and C*.

  24. AllynTygrrr says: 88

    That is so funny. The timing is uncanny.

  25. jindai says: 87

    Actually, legend says that “Bloody” the British adjective, is actually religious based, and inappropriate. It’s either from By Our Lady, shortened considerably, or simply referring to the Blood of Christ on the cross. Both of which is rather rude in polite company, from what I’ve heard. Not sure of the accuracy of either, but heck, you’re the word lady, you can look it up for sure. *grin*

  27. Dear Marina

    So glad that you seem to have got rid of your high temparature fever, even if a murderous “gun fever” has taken its place because of the traffic in LA. You certainly look dangerous (and gorgeous as always).

    You should try London, England, where the traffic is still bad despite the congestion charge having been in place for many years!

    ———————————————————————————————
    HOMEWORK:

    Many people say “Holy Moses”. The Jewish Torah and the Christian Bible do not call him holy, but their description of his feats are awesome, not least his faith at the Red Sea when God saved them from the pursuing Egyptians and parted that Sea in what may have been the result of a [tsunami].
    ———————————————————————————————

    Here are some more timed-release hugs (see my post on “Thank you all”) to keep you going.

    With love as ever,

    Heaven here I come.

  28. I am just stunned how many people don’t know who George is. James of all people should know. phifft!!!!

    • James does know who George is, as it was James that brought George back into the conversation.

      Now, the question is, does George know who George is?
      That little fella keeps on pickin and grinnin.
      Well, mainly grinnin. LOL

      • James who? What are you talking about? James did what? He started the fight? What fight? You confuse me.. arrg! LOL. You didn’t get the secret email from Capman911 did you? phfff!

        I don’t think George really cares if he knows who he is. He just is.

  29. I hate driving because of horrible drivers out there. It stresses me way to much. Hence why I try to take the bus, towncar, zip-it, train, friends, but never a taxi cab. I got rid of my last car and was so happy to do so! Though now, with some new projects I think I have to get a car for some cities have very little choices i alternate transportation. There are just too many cars on the road that are operated by incompetent drivers. It’s freaking scary! 2 years ago my sister and I almost died from a truck running a red light doing over 40 mph. She would have died and I might have lived. Later on she did get hit and they totaled her car. She was ok TG. It’s time to take the driver out of the car and let a computer do the job. Besides, I would rather be spending my time doing something else than sit in traffic jams operating a car.

    Homework: hum to many to list. I learned way to many over the early years. I’m really good at not using them for people get really offended. Surprisingly it can bite you in the ass later in life. Just wish people could take life a little bit lighter. :-(

    Hey Marina. I love the quote about the FedEx founder. I left university because I thought it was counter-productive. Reading that has been vindicating.

  31. James says: 80

    LTL (loved this lesson) Marina! Even if I will never be able to understand that origin…

  32. hotrocky says: 79

    Of course, IHS stands for “In hoc signo” from “In hoc signo vinces,” “In this sign (you will) conquer,” from Constantine’s vision. The Name “Jesus” is a Greek translation of the Man’s name, in Hebrew, YHSVH, pronounced something like “Jeshuvah,” the same Hebrew name as “Joshua” in the Old Testament. It is, in fact, the name of God in Hebrew, YHVH, with the symbol for the breath, “S” in the middle. Christians say there is no other name under heaven whereby people can be saved but then they use a Greek translation of the name instead of the actual name of the Man. WTF???

  33. Hey, Marina,

    Just saw Mark Martin announce GoDaddy has signed on as a sponsor for his NASCAR team #5 car. Would love to see you at a race next year in your GoDaddy Girl role!

    And your fellow GoDaddy Girl Danica is apparently coming to NASCAR from the Indycars. Neat!

  34. I like this:

    “If you are a dog lover, a true dog lover, and not just one who sees them as pets or animals, but are instead one who sees them as one’s dear companions, and more than companions – sees them as perhaps being but a step or two down the species ladder from humankind, not sharing human exceptionalism but not an abyss below it, either – you watch them differently from the way other people watch them, with a respect for their born dignity, with a recognition for their capacity to know joy and to suffer melancholy, with certainty that they suspect the tyranny of time even if they don’t fully understand the cruelty of it, that they are not, as self-blinded experts contend, unaware of their own mortality.

    If you watch them with this heightened perception, from this more generous perspective…you see a remarkable complexity in each dog’s personality, an individualism uncannily human in its refinement, though with none of the worst of human faults. You see an intelligence and a fundamental ability to reason that some- times can take your breath away.
    And on occasion, when you’re not being in the least sentimental, when you’re in too skeptical a mood to ascribe to dogs any human qualities they do not possess, you will nevertheless perceive in them that singular yearning that is common to every human heart, even to those who claim to live a faithless existence. For dogs see mystery in the world, in us and in themselves and in all things, and are at key moments particularly alert to it, and more than usually curious.”

    “The greatest horrors in the history of mankind are not due to the ambition of the Napoleons or the vengeance of the Agamemnons, but to the doctrinaire philosophers. The theories of the sentimentalist Rousseau inspired the integrity of the passionless Robespierre.

    Seriously, yes I will be serious for a minute.

    I much prefer the theater aspect more than just lying around in your work-out clothes.

    I mention a long time ago to put more theater in your video lessons but back in those days you were doing one lesson every other day & with no green screen.

    This type of production adds a whole new dimension to the lessons. Also I’m well aware it’s hard to pull this off in a video of two minutes or less. But then again advertiser (with great creative resources) do it all the time.

    So for a one person show you are doing alright.

  45. 2utoday says: 63

    I never heard anyone in my area use the letter H when referring to Jesus Christ. As for myself,I only say his name when I am praying. It looks like I’ll have to add your name to my prayer list. When was the last time you prayed or went to church? You will be amazed how much better your life will be when you attend church every Sunday!

    When I used t listen to all news radio from Detroit carjackings were a big deal in the early 90’s. anarchy rules everywhere. Then also they said that in rough neighborhoods men called in false emergancy calls to the ambulance and fire trucks and would then “bushwhack” them or ambush the firemen or ambulances when they responded to a call in a gang neighborhood. ANARCHY RULES!!
    that would be a fun word for you to investigate [bushwhack] like in westerns or cowboys and indians.

    That was a cool skit. Even the background sound was good. In Quebec they have old-fashioned French swear words like “tabernac” or “chalis” which is just altar and chalice, but that is what they became, swear words. Michael Moores’ Jesus W. Christ was pretty funny when it first came out.

    Wow! This is one sassy video, but as usual still informative. I think a lot of people avoid “taking the Lord’s name in vain” so they try to disguise it. Holy mackerel, jeepers creepers, cheese and rice, gosh darn it, golly gee willikers, God bless it all, and probably a ton more. And looking at some of the earlier posts, some people just don’t like their religions reduced to slang. I think my God has a sense of humor and He is probably laughing out loud!

  65. Evan Owen says: 42

    Religious swearing:

    New Yorkers use the sarcastic “Yeah, shuah {sure}” in place of “Jesus!” This phrase obviously derives from the Hebrew “Yeshua,” the original form of Jesus’ name.

    It’s true, I tell you. :mrgreen:

  66. Put the gun down, Marina. Too sloppy. James bond used missiles.

  67. neuroway says: 40

    Some other hot religious phrases:

    “I am here by the will of the Great Spirit, and by his will I am chief. I know Great Spirit is looking down upon me from above, and will hear what I say.”
    “You think I’m a fool, but you are a greater fool than I am.”
    – Sitting Bull (1831-1890)

  68. Evan Owen says: 39

    Homework: Religious profanity

    And of course, there’s “Jesus fishing Christ,” derived from the Greek ΙΧΘΥΣ, “fish.” “ΙΧΘΥΣ” is also an acronym for “Ἰησοῦς Χριστός, Θεοῦ Υἱός, Σωτήρ,” “Jesus Christ, God’s Son, Saviour.”

  69. rads says: 38

  70. Evan Owen says: 36

    Marina, did I hear you yell “Get out of here!” in Russian?

    The “IC XC” on the Greek ikon appears to be a contraction of “Ιησούς Χριστός.”

    And I appear to be getting WAY too obsessed with Marina’s lessons again. :oops:

    Ye Gods and little fishes! Before he’d been in the company a month everyone was saying it.

  73. neuroway says: 30

    These phrases are also awesomely interesting:

    “You, hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence.”
    – Matthew 23:25

    “You, hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of dead men’s bones and everything unclean.”
    – Matthew 23:27

    And this one also, prettily thought provoking indeed:

    “He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

    I would like to request the phrase [Rose-Colored Glasses].

  76. Homework: I like my swear words to be the old fashioned ones like “garsh” “golly” “gee wizz” “shucks” not to mention: F%#k, a$$, s^!t, damn, oh NEVER the “C” word no matter what.

    The rich are quoted quite often in the Gospels actually. Money seemed to be a hot topic back in the time.

    “For the sun rises with scorching heat and withers the plant; its blossom falls and its beauty is destroyed. In the same way, the rich man will fade away even while he goes about his business.”
    – James 1:11

    “Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming upon you.”
    – James 5:1

    The first one that comes to my mind is:

    “The first will be last and the last will be first.”

    This one is also quite famous:

    “It is harder for a rich to enter heaven than for a camel to go through a needle.”

    I’m pretty sure there are zillions of other famous religious phrases.

  80. Jesus is cool. I like making friends.

    ***HOMEWORK: Religious swear word: “Man alive!”***

    This is a translation of the Welsh phrase “Dyn byw,” which is a rhyming euphemism for “Duw!” meaning “God!” (The euphemism was used so as not to violate the commandment “Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.”

    Perhaps analogous to “Sacre bleu;” is this a rhyming euphemism for “sacre dieu”? :???:

    Dear Marina,
    Please don’t wave that toy gun in yraffic, There are enough people out there with real guns, they could be dangerous.
    I generally don’t curse very much, so “Holy moly” and “Holy Toledo” are expressions I use, sometimes.
    I’ve seen so many replies to your videos that have very bad curse words in them, it’s an education in itself!
    From watching your video, I plan to go to a toy store and see what kind of toy guns are available. But I’m not going to go shop for cigars!
    I hope you get well from your illness, soon. Please let us know when you are healthy, again! :razz:

    Homework:

    [GADZOOKS] was “God’s hooks” referring to the nails that pinned Christ on the cross. :twisted: :mrgreen:

    Kanye West earns his way into the crystal walls of the Joe Cartoon blender. :cool:

    Marina, I hope you’re feeling better this evening :smile:

    I know it was a subplot in the video, but our traffic is just as bad in rush hour here in New York City and Long Island as it is in L.A.
    Forgive me, but goddamn, holy shit, and hell are among other religious swears.

  87. Hmm, I always thought the ‘H’ is was for ‘Holy.’ And that’s a lot better than what some people below have done to His name!

  88. animalntaz says: 15

    Horrible traffic, Marina? You remind me of this guy! :lol:

  89. muggins says: 14

    Homework: I’ve often muttered Jesus Christ, bookending the “F” word: Jesus F___ing Christ enough times, on the job and in traffic, to pretty much doom me to an eternity in fiery damnation. One would have to include the swear words” hell, as in what the bloody hell? and “damn as in goddammit, and the variations, as religious swear words.

  90. {God Damn}, Marina you are so hot!!! I can only think of well words that Doug I think will be e-mailing me and telling me its inappropriate. I guess I will leave you with {God Damn} when I get yoked out and in my mansion. Marina you will be screaming all kinds of words!! See Ya Babe!!!

    • Rijk says: 13.1

      God Damn was the first one that came to mind. But Holy shit you beat me to it.

      Bloody hell Marina, that was a good video. But I think the traffic jam was caused by a red car that didn’t move.

      This is a nice teach, we get to swear, call her names, what’s next ?
      Or should I say what is she gonna make us do next ?

  91. bobsully says: 12

    Watch the road rage Marina… :)

    Hmmmm looking for a little profane? When we were kids we use to call the Catholic kids Cat-Lickers…

    I say JesusFuckingEast sometimes, but I don’t know when that started…

  92. leonard says: 11

    holy shit whats all the preying about [whoared]–woa– the holy whore and her well kept secret…hey sues and peter but-plugged paul back to saul and seened…HOLY SEA confuses and the sharp roofs with the holy devil…James Williamson and the Careless Hearts play “Cock in My Pocket”

    I did all my swearing on the bible before class…!!! :P Johnny depp – God’s gonna cut you down

    Please consider the word [coitus] – spicy and mangled similarly to zoology. Thanks

    HOTFORWORDS!!! where does the word “spam” (the internet kind) come from? Does it come from spam the canned meat?

    Ohhhh, that was funny, Harold be his name.
    Attention, drivers on the 405 Southbound, she’s gotta gun.
    That was way toooo funny.
    Reminded me of that 405 video, where the old lady from Pasadena gives the guy the finger.

    HW: Cripes, suffering succotash

  96. Actually it’s “Howard” be thy name. :) Closer to “hallowed be thy name”.
    I’ve also heard “Jesus H. Tap-dancing Christ”. This was said by “Joliet” Jake Blues after having a spiritual awakening at the Triple Rock Baptist Church in Calumet City, Il while checking out a sermon from the Reverend Cleophus James.

  97. homework:- my favourite religious phrase has to be ‘jesus tapdancing christ’
    the idea of him tapdancing and waving his arms gets me everytime. can i request [paddy irishman] i dont understand this phrase because very few people in ireland are actually called paddy so i dont get why that phrase exists

    • Evan Owen says: 6.1

      “Paddy” is short for “Padraic” (i.e. Patrick.)

      By the way, reportedly Sinn Fein has a barrister named Charles whose nickname is “Chucky, our Law.” :mrgreen:

      (Hmm, that pun may be pretty obscure…anyone else speak Gaelic?) :neutral:

  98. animalntaz says: 5

    I never heard the “H” part before, I usually hear the “fucking” part in the middle.
    And for that matter, why is one man’s name considered a swear word? I guess this shows that Christians swear too often, that it would be hypocritical of them to censor out other swear words as well. XD

  99. Capman911 says: 4

    That was a great video. Cool how you looked like you were riding in a car in traffic even. :cool:
    Home Work: Sorry I don’t like to use religious swear words.
    But I did love the video. :smile:

    Of your past posts, not all of which I have seen, I would bet that this one takes on a little more importance. Can you please go into a little more detail regarding eta, and sigma? Anything to do with religion should constitute slightly more research, sorry, not really complaining, but if someone can get deeper into the meaning you can. So, if you don’t mind, can you please elaborate?
