  1. I wanted to give it 6 or more stars on YouTube; what a pity it would only let me give 5! We know you are NUMBER ONE, Marina and that you did a great JOB in your latest lesson. With lots of love from your devoted student Heaven here I come.

    The woman who can create her own job is the one who will win fame and fortune. ~ Amelia Earhart

    She could have been talking about Marina. :cool:

  3. Anyone up for some Big shenanigans?
    Check it out, Marina at her biggest bestest. :smile:

  4. simmmm says: 71

    I would like to request the phrase [knock on wood]. I don’t even see how the meaning (hope it doesn’t happen) fits the phrase. Thanks Marina! Keep it up!

  5. sam11 says: 70

    I would like to request the word [Chocolate]

  6. vonmalcolm says: 69

    I just heard this word for the first time on Mike & Mike on ESPN radio this morning: [Fartlek] (insert Beavis laughter here) – its a form of continuous aerobic training lasting at least 45 minutes (wiki).

  7. Evan Owen says: 67

    [Up north]
    [Down south]

    If the first mapmakers had been from Cape Town or Melbourne, would we say “down north”? :razz:

    Yeshua bar Yosef (aka Jesus) used to refer to “going up to Jerusalem”, although it was south of his home in Galilee — because Jerusalem is some 800 meters higher. :cool:

  8. James says: 66

    Is there a reason why there is a 1 week gap between this and the last lesson?

  9. russianboy says: 64

    How wants to see Marina’s photos from Russia? Register here/ It’s like facebook, but from Russia. It’s in English!!! Just type Marina Orlova to find her

  10. Capman911 says: 63

    Marina can you get the shadow boxes to work for you. I can’t get them to work again.

    • Mike, all the photo images work as before including the shadow box. Everything works great here.

      Test on the following link
      Click the link
      LEFT click the image
      The image is displayed in a shadow box
      Click the green arrow below the image. Ths image enlarges.
      Click the image. The normal page and image is displayed.
      http://www.hotforwords.com/2009/08/27/working-pics/img_0199/

      You may have issues with Add-Ons or the PC is slow loading the 245K image.

    • Mike, I also sent a tweet to Twitter on your behalf
      after you tweeted them. You are still not on the timeline
      and it may take them a few days to fix it.

      Those guys are busy with a bunch of problems and
      they are understaffed. You can see the issues they are
      working on here.

      Here is what they are working on, and even though the language may not fit precisely into what I think your Twitter issue is, it may in fact be the same thing.

      ——– From Twitter Status ———
      “We are currently investigating a problem causing many users’ timelines to be delayed. We will update with status here shortly.”

      “We’re also working on the posting problems that many people are running into when trying to create tweets. ”

    Hello, I would like to request the meaning of the word [prick]. Johnny don’t be such a [prick].

  12. Hs4Mm says: 61

    I might comment on today’s quote someday, so I’ll record it here:

    “God gave men both a penis and a brain, but unfortunately not enough blood supply to run both at the same time.” – Robin Williams, commenting on the Clinton/Lewinsky affair

  13. Hs4Mm says: 60

    [MacGuffin] You could recreate the original scene that inspired Alfred Hitchcock to make-up this word.

  14. Bob says: 59

    It’s a good thing Marina left Moscow!
    The Aliens are coming.

  15. James says: 58

    Marina, the text overlaps the image on the “subscribe to hotforowords” bit.

    • For what browsers? Can you fix it in css?

      • Hs4Mm says: 58.1.1

        Might be an illusion caused by the horizontal ad having a white border and the “subscribe” box having a black border in addition to a partial white border; more precisely, the black border of “subscribe box” is below a white border on the top, to the right of a white separator on the left, but there is no white vertical to the right of the black vertical border; and no horizontal white to the bottom of the black horizontal border.

        It takes a while to register the precise nature of the black and white borders; and one might confuse the condition to an overlap.

    • I fixed it.. I had done some stupid stuff and fixed it! Thanks for noticing it.. I am on a mac and forget to check it on a PC sometimes!

  16. Hs4Mm says: 57

    HFW Trivia:

    Background: In early March 09, Marina tweeted asking about a technique for “breast-expansion” in FC; she linked to a video in which someone had done “breast-exanpsion” on her in one of her videos; shortly thereafter she tweeted that she solved the problem (”It think I’ve got it :-) ” {with double meaning on “got what?”}) and showed a twitpic.

    Question: which lesson did she use that technique in (the lesson has the twitpic mentioned above)?

    I can give a hint if needed.

  17. jo says: 56

    I would like to request a word [whoremonger]

    I think it has some multiple meanings and I am curious about what they might be.
    Thanks,
    Jo

  18. howi says: 55

    Definitely #1 “bad” girl on the internet! Congratulation!

  19. Capman911 says: 54

    Love the new header, glad you put your banner over the adds. :smile:

  23. I’d like to request [hamburger]. Why is it called that? It doesn’t even have ham…

  24. Hs4Mm says: 48

    Today’s quote is interesting:

    “Love is friendship set on fire.” – Jeremy Taylor

    1) If by “set on fire” he meant “more intense” then he is saying that friendship and love are on a continuum, with love being more intense.

    2) One could also take “set on fire” to mean the introduction of a certain type of conflict (similar to the usage: when something is “set on fire”, it is destroyed). But love isn’t ashes — it is much more positive than friendship. So how can the idea of a “destroyed friendship” be used to characterize “intense love”?

    I do not think that love and friendship are on a continuum: I think love is a totally different type of relationship than any type of friendship. The way one deals with a person one loves is totally different from the way one deals with anyone else — the relationship one has with the person one loves is totally different from the relationships one has with anyone else.

    Given the stakes involved in love, in some instances of love there is a tendency to be much more cautious in the early stages. This caution might manifest itself as a conflict. For example, in ancient Greek stories I think the woman would put her lover thorough challenging tests:

    So one might say that in the story of “The three golden apples,” the relationship between Atalanta and Hippomenes was on fire.

  25. dobrider says: 47

    hi marina I wonder if u can explain the origin of the word Supercalifragilisticespianadocious Please thanks a lot and.. no its not a joke its a real word

  26. cufan71 says: 46

    :cool: Heard this on the radio:
    A woman sees a man and tells him, “You look just like my 3rd husband!” The man asks, “How many times have you been married?” She says “Twice!” :mrgreen: :lol:

  27. m3v4n says: 45

    Hi Marina!

    Could you please do the origin for the word [23 skidoo] or sometimes written as [23 skiddoo] which means to get out or to leave quickly!

    thanks!!

  28. James says: 44

    I just got back from London in time to see this! It was really good. I love the new banner too Marina! Well done!

  29. Was Obama wrong when he wrote that he learned the earth “rotated around the sun” (vide “The Audacity of Hope”)? I was always taught that the earth [rotated] on its axis as it [revolved] about the sun. The definitions in the online dictionaries I use are unclear about this. Webster says that rotate means to turn ABOUT an axis, revolve, but thefreedictionary says that, plus to turn ON an axis. This indicates to me that Obama was right after all and that Webster seems to be missing one definition. I also vaguely remember ROTATING functions about the x-axis in calculus class back in high school. So, I guess it’s okay to say the earth rotates on its axis as it rotates about the sun! Any thoughts, anyone?

    I would like to request the phrase [barking up a tree]
    I was just texting my friend and he was talking about how he had been “barking up a tree” with the wrong girls. Where did that phrase come from?

    • beevee14 says: 41.1

      Its actually “barking up the wrong tree” and comes from coon hunters. When the dogs would tree a coon, they would stand at the bottom and bark. Occasionally, the dogs would go to the wrong tree or the coon would trick them, so they would be barking up the wrong tree. If you’re hitting on ladies that aren’t in your league, you could be barking up the wrong tree! ;-) :mrgreen:

  32. Could you please do the meaning of the word [nostalgia]? :)

  33. Hs4Mm says: 39

    Puzzle: Which words in the following sentence have the same origin?:

    Vivian vituperated the vicious villain for valuing vice over virtue.

  34. I love the rotating banner pics of Marina.
    Great pics. Love the one lying down.
    Ohhh those eyes and that look. Love it.

  35. 2utoday says: 37

    :lol: Oh yeah! Funny and sexy-that’s Marina!! And she doles out the meaning of words! Rock on Marina!!

  36. :smile: I like that pic on the HotForWords banner where Marina has on a pilot’s cap and she’s snacking on a slice of watermelon.

  37. beevee14 says: 35

    “…a Russian with a thesaurus.” I guess he didn’t want to clutter it up by mentioning your extensive education. Altogether not bad though and one of the coolest sets ever for a talk show. :cool:

  38. I would like to request the word [tattoo]

    Keep going Marina!

  39. “MAREENER ORLOVA?” Funny accent, that guy. Must be a foreigner. And did you hear that? She looks up her word origins in a thesauras!

    I have been out a week after wrenching my back. (If you ever stumble and fall, never twist to reach for support! Just think parachute jump and roll into it, even if the it is concrete. I have learned this, but good.) Now I am walking around like a teetering, clattering stack of dishes hoping that day-by-day I will return to my old* self.

    I notice the smileys are back, but the comment numbers haven’t returned yet.

    *No wisecracks, please.

    you’re doing great! you seem very natural when you do these interviews.

  41. Bogdan says: 31

    What is the origin of the expression “God Speed”?
    I loike airplains but i don’t know the origin of this very common aviation expression; Thank you!

  42. Evan Owen says: 30

    For your listening pleasure

    Totally irrelevant, except it’s Slavic and it’s cool: Čije je ono devojče :cool: :grin:

  43. Bob says: 29

    :lol: Marina, I had to laugh at your continued omission of articles …

    “I’m very happy that I have big …”

    If you had said, “I’m very happy that I have A big audience …”, my mind wouldn’t have jumped into the gutter in that instant.
    Congratulations on your continued-unsurprising accolade.
    (Interesting word? [accolade] – can you drink it?)

  44. Way to go Marina! What a success story. You rock.

  45. kaitrage. says: 27

    Ohai. :].

    I was wondering, could I please request the word [distress] ? :D .

    Love your videos! x

    Strawberries and XXX’s :mrgreen:

    Good Night from Vrock

  47. Hey Marina, I like the tweaks you’ve made up above.
    Your logo header at the very top with the Ad and
    subscribe box sandwiched in between the header
    and navigation menus. Looks good.
    Alternatively, the Ad and subscriber box could be
    moved below the navigation menus as it had been
    previously for a long time. Either way is good.

  48. Rijk says: 24

    in reaction to yourshut the fuck up video could you add some water in the fish-tank, looks like you are depriving it of moving-space.

  49. darlingj says: 23

    OK – Umgh — when I see ‘Intelligence is Sexy’ in small print in the corner – YOU ARE SELLING YOUR BRAND FOR Short Term $!!!

    STOP IT!

    I have come to love you for your Art.

    Stop it RIGHT NOW!

    Just one man’s opinion.

    • wyo550 says: 23.1

      Talk about art, that Rude Tube presenter was well written, clever and smart. Seems like everything out of the UK has a higher-level of thought, even questioning at the end if MO is hero or villan

    • darlingj says: 23.2

      You are handing away the most valuable thing you have created for some short-term bucks – DON’T DO IT!

      I know it is enticing…Geeze I hope you don’t go that way….Me….

    • darlingj says: 23.3

      Urmm…Was that really me being harsh and off base above? :oops: Sorry, busy week and short on sleep…

      What I meant to communicate was that the ‘Intelligence is Sexy’ branding is about the most perfect description of a product as I’ve ever seen. Something you’d pay an Ad Agency a LOT of money to come up with.

      It sets you apart and makes you unique to everyone else.

      It [turns the tables] on the critics who think you are all about cleavage.

      The message is simple and powerful.

      It shouldn’t be seen as [fine print] or incidental…and it shouldn’t be diluted in value to products that don’t enhance it.

      Whew…now I feel better! :grin:

  50. Lennie says: 22

    Congratiolations Marina, every day you are a little bit better known by the general public and some days even more then a little. ;-)

    You have a good concept, I which you well.

  51. BillyB says: 21

    I take umbrage with them saying you have “a clear disdain for clothes”… geeze, you’ve got a style, a panche that doesn’t find it’s equal on You/Tube.
    Took two years for the daft to notice you Marina, I knew you were going to be big the first time I saw you in that funny little “Women’s Dictionary” vid. I’m still thrilled every time I see a mention of you or hear your voice while someone plays one of your vids.
    I hope you really enjoy your successes, you remain healthy & as happy as you look.

  52. Congratulations my dear teacher. You deserve it. I’m still stunned that of the whole concept where you started on Youtube to where it’s at now. Russian philologist is going to be the number one Guru on YouTube? It will never happen. Now it’s a reality. Amazing accomplishment Marina. Good job!

    Well, I knew a long time ago that you would become famous. Remember that I said that someday you will be a well known star? I said it on a post over a year ago. Now it’s come true. It doesn’t stop here either. There is more to come. Much more.. ;-)

  53. Rijk says: 19

    Hero or Villain :mrgreen:

    Who is gonna drive the getaway car, any volunteers?

  54. A clear disdain for clothes. :lol: That was so funny.
    Congratulations Marina on being Number 1

  55. Venomrock67 says: 16

    Right On! from a rough diamond to #1, you’ve come a long way in a short period of
    time ;-)
    Also HFW probably has the best if not ‘The Best’ online [community] out there.
    Thank You Marina :smile:

  56. buzzword says: 14

    she is philology’s heroin.

  57. mattym says: 13

    Of course you are # 1! All of your true followers know that. :shock:

  58. AllynTygrrr says: 12

    Nice. Add it to the list…

    Now, if only we could get all the Hollywood starlets and poptarts to put some substance behind their celebrity as you have. Did I tell you about my celebrity teacher/gameshow idea?

    Hmmm…

    No worries. Plenty of time.

    Technology required to broadcast oneself on the internet? $1,000

    Moving all the way to Hollywood and then getting famous without the need for being in Hollywood? Priceless.

    Odds of being blessed with the combination of aesthetic beauty and intelligence you have? No comment.

    Being able to do what you do from almost anywhere on planet Earth with high-speed internet access? Success.

    I love that you’re using your beauty to make smart cool.

    Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

    The world needs more of that.

    No, seriously.

    [ ;-) ]

    -xoxo-

  59. Very freakin’ incredible, Marina! You ARE numero uno. Love it, and love you.

    Always.

    “…a Russian with a thesaurus.” Thesaurus. Sounds like a dinosaur, Thesaurus Rex. King of the Thesauris. Just what is the best thesaurus on the net? Do I have the best thesaurus bookmarked, and what other thesauri should I bookmark?
    BTW- I had to look up how to spell dinosaur…I got 3 letters wrong on my first spelling.

  61. ;-) El numero uno which like translates to number one & #1

  62. wetsuit5 says: 4

    Very good!!
    Do you have a link to the whole show?

  63. darlingj says: 3

    They chose right.

    Can’t think of anyone with a better success story than YOU on YouTube.

    #1 Hero!!!!

  64. Capman911 says: 2

    This is just so awesome. I hope you keep putting them on here when you are on Rude Tube. :smile:
