    A scene from Derek Jarman’s film ‘Wittgenstein’ (1989) upon the thought behind a word or a sentence like “This is a very pleasant pineapple.” :grin:

    I don’t know why we are here, but I’m pretty sure that it is not in order to enjoy ourselves.” – Ludwig Wittgenstein 1889-1951…from the “HotForWords” [uniVerse]

    The whole modern conception of the world is founded on the illusion that the so-called laws of nature are the explanations of natural phenomena.
    Thus people today stop at the laws of nature, treating them as something inviolable, just as God and Fate were treated in past ages. And in fact both were right and both wrong; though the view of the ancients is clearer insofar as they have an acknowledged terminus, while the modern system tries to make it look as if everything were explained

    — Wittgenstein, Tractatus, 6.371-2

    In the preface to the Tractatus, Wittgenstein says: “the truth of the thoughts that are here communicated seems to me unassailable and definitive”. TheTractatus Logico-Philosophicus was submitted by Wittgenstein for the degree of PhD upon his return to Cambridge University in 1929. At his oral defense, Russell, who was one of his examiners, expressed doubts about Wittgenstein’s ability to express unassailable truths with meaningless sentences.[60] Wittgenstein might have countered with another line from the preface: “Perhaps this book will be understood only by someone who has himself already had the thoughts that are expressed in it—or at least similar thoughts.” What he did reply was harsher still: “Don’t worry, I know you’ll never understand it.” :cool: …from wiki…. and I would say; try to understand :razz: “…
    The world consists of independent atomic facts—existing states of affairs—out of which larger facts are built.
    Language consists of atomic, and then larger-scale, propositions that correspond to these facts by sharing the same “logical form”.
    Thought, expressed in language, “pictures” these facts.
    On this theory, any piece of language that is not representative of some fact (i.e. is not a proposition) is to be classified as nonsense

      :shock: Now I get it!

      :roll: If you reverse Dog … it reads God! Lol.

      … and Art is language and thought is craft!

      :shock: So if the thoughtsman are being copied by the artist. If the toughtsman errors then the artist heaps contempt upon the error.

      :roll: The poor dog doesn’t know he’s a dog! If he acts like a lion it because he was never told he was a dog.

      • applebail says:

        Thank Dog I wasn’t born a Women, Catholic, European or Hippy! Lol.

          :lol:

          I was born in a pool, they made my mother stand
          And I spat on that surgeon and his trembling hand
          When I felt the light I was worse than bored
          I stole the doctor’s scalpel and I slit the cord

          I was a Catholic boy
          I was redeemed through pain
          Not through joy

          I was two months early, they put me under glass
          I screamed and cursed at children when their nurses passed
          I was convicted of theft as I slipped from the womb
          They led me straight from my mother to a cell in the Tombs

          I was a Catholic boy
          I was redeemed through pain
          Not through joy

          ….applebail…: groovey and wHales :cool: :arrow: [whalers]

  4. swampwiz says:

    Marina, in honor of the Super Bowl, I think you need to do the word origin of the term [Who Dat], that you might spell as “Ху Дэт. I presume that you will be joining in with the Who Dat Nation. (Hint: Louisiana Senator Vitter described the origin in a letter to the NFL Commissioner.)

    You could also the origin of [Fleur-de-Lis] or in honor of February 16 [Mardi Gras].

  5. corriendo says:

    [Hemophilia] is a disease in which your blood can’t clot properly, but if you break the word down, “hemo” means blood and “philia” means friend. Why does this word literally mean “blood friend”?

  6. James says:

    Look what I saw in London the other day… This beats Marinas SLR!

    My new car… http://twitpic.com/10ce1z

  7. jusemoma says:

    dear Marina, greeting from Colombia, I have been watching your show, and the lats lesson generated a question inside of me. I know what it means but where does it come from?

    [get laid]

    hope you had a great date, bye ;)

  8. mikej1592 says:

    Love your vids!

    I had a phrase request actually

    [Chomping at the bit]

    I have used it, I have heard it but I have always been curious as to its origin? who first said it and whats its connection to really wanting to go do something?

    • It’s champing at the bit (from ME champen), although chomping has increasing use by the public (even though it is incorrect). It refers to horses, eager to start, chewing on the bits in their mouths. Probably the origin is far to obscure to be known.

      How about using hot to trot, which is also kind of horsey. :grin:

  9. James says:

    Back in the day I used to go to your youtube channel and see if I could refresh the page without you gaining a subscriber in the meantime…. I hardly ever managed too… Now it seems you are getting less subs… Maybe you should see what putting the “please subscribe” thing on the end will do.

    • HotForWords says:

      YouTube keeps changing their formula for what videos appear on the Popular pages and currently, videos that appeal to an older demographic do not appear there.. thus my videos are not appearing in the places where new people would find me. That is why you see me trying to make my videos appeal to 12 year olds lately. it’s annoying.

      • James says:

        I get what you are saying. But have you thought that maybe you should just make what you think is right, bearing in mind that most kids don’t have a youtube account? Even if they do, they only use it to watch flagged videos… Appealing to an audience is one thing, but appealing to an audience that don’t care about your videos is another.

  10. I don’t remember seeing you in jeans before. Nice fit! Would those be your [smarty pants]? Why is one pair of pants referred to in the plural form?

    P.S. [Smart alek] is equally puzzling.

  11. nwandoful says:

    i want to request the phrase [jump the shark] please

    • Thanks for your reply about plural pants. I’ll try putting my pant on and see how far I get. :razz:

      I can’t help you on “jumping the shark”. I never heard the phrase, but I suppose if you saw one swimming towards you, one would be bold to attack first. And, I’m guessing it has nothing to do with swimming.

    • That one is easy. If you remember the U.S. TV show Happy Days, it was a great success until the episode where The Fonz whet water skiing and jumped over a shark; then the show went down hill. Thus the phrase means success that has turned to failure, or at least the gild is off the lilly. There is even a Website based on it, if I can remember it. Let’s see… uh, it’s right on the tip of my tongue. Wait, wait, don’t tell me… Oh, yes, it’s http://www.jumptheshark.com. I think.

    Hey, I came across a Russian nerd-word:

    Razzputin: To tease someone while disputing what s/he says. :razz: :razz:

    This also is the name of a coctail, vodka and raspberry juice, named in honor of Vladimir Vladimirovich. :wink:

    But only a fool would razz Putin, right? :shock:

  13. beevee14 says:

    two more
    1) Back in the pre-electric locks on EVERY car days, I would always open the girls door first. If she didn’t reach over and unlock my door, we probably weren’t going out for long
    2) To help make that good night kiss a little bit less awkward than #5, break down the physical barriers early. It helps even if you touch them on the shoulder to point out something! ;-)

    JMHO

  14. dallen says:

    You are smoking Hot as a blond But you are on fire as…wait I’m beating around the bush. You are absolutely awesome with dark hair, or as I was saying, you are on fire with the new hairdo, so I am not beating around the bush any more. Go red or brunette, I know all the blonds will be jealous now!

  19. pedanticKarl says:

    I’m wishing you a happy day – or not,

    The intro is so MTV

  21. Che Mero says:

    When you start to do videos with kids in them then your have “jump the shark” :mrgreen: cos you know they come soon after the first date.

    {Che thinks the sex tape will be next}

  22. cufan71 says:

    Very C :cool: :cool: L video :!: Good luck on your date :!: :grin:

  23. BigBhd95 says:

    Hi ;-) Marina
    loved the video the time flew by & i had to watch many times
    to see all the hidden sighns & ( IN U End oes ) the sight gags r great
    your talents keep multiplying [exponentially] :mrgreen: :cool: I am
    almost getting used to the hair color NOT!! lmao :cool: B.B. :cool:
    the only better outcome for your date :shock: is if it were with ME :oops:

  24. Teach, I’ll go ahead and wish you luck, as a social amenity, but I really doubt that you’ll need it in order to make a good impression on whomever the lucky stiff is. As far as my humble perspective goes, spinach in YOUR teeth really wouldn’t bug me much; I’d be gentlemanly enough to bring it to your attention, but noway nohow would it be a dealbreaker.
    That was a way cool recess vid; liked it alot. Going to YT to give 5 stars for your tongue. There’s a pic in your book of you rolling your tongue; been meaning to tell you, if you ever want to play an instrument, that is THE tongue roll to have to play harmonica. We could jam some 12 bar blues! Cya,

    Handling Rejection

    Sometimes rejection is just a request for more information. In the online stage of a relationship a couple of years ago, the lady wrote to me, “You sound too athletic for me. I’m more…Rubenesque.”

    So I wrote back, Rubenesque — Is this what you mean? Then I don’t see the problem.” She took the hint! :grin:

  26. Evan Owen says:

    Hey M, is the dude’s name “Marino”? :razz:

  27. Evan Owen says:

    Old Fogey Comment

    Sorry, getting laid on the first date is like opening your Christmas presents the day after thanksgiving. Anticipation is half the fun! :grin:

    Or maybe putting it architecturally, it’s like building the second floor without laying the foundation. :neutral:

  28. matalexwolf says:

    Never date a woman you can hear ticking. Mark Patinkin

    Great advice M, so I flutter my eyes, show off my flesh….o wait, that’s what she doozie like dang does -huh? …hhhmmm ^-^

    Good luck to you Marina! Now you can leave your plastic passion back in the draw (in top left cabinet;) You do look so terribly, pretty, with the darker hair look XO

  29. pedanticKarl says:

    Anyone get the secret message in the video yet?
    I’m sure it was for me :lol:

  30. applebail says:

    :cry: I kind of like her all dirty and sweaty, spinach in her teeth, it’s OK! Snot? Bubbling out of her nose! Lol.

  31. Mal Bourne says:

    A stain on your shorts? Isn’t that jumping the gun a little?

  32. wurdnerd says:

    I’d like to request the phrase [skeletons in the closet]. As in, when a person has a lot of secrets, it is said, they have a lot of skeletons in the closet.

  33. weedandwine says:

    Will you find the source for the word [juice] when used as slang for electricity. I don’t know how popular it really is but sometimes when one talks about electicity they will say, [cut the juice] or [turn off the juice when not in use], ect. I have asked electricians this and they really don’t know but are familier with the term and usage. Can you help us construction guys out out?

    Regards

    • I have been in electronics all my life, but never heard the origin. Once source says the first use of this sense was in 1896, but M might be able to find where and how it originated. The trouble with old stuff like this, is that the start of slang, if not published, won’t be recorded.

  34. ddranger says:

    Gosh, as I guy, I was always told the first impression is always the most important. And for that, my father passed along a few tips for young men entering the dating scene.
    Rule #1) Bring a chainsaw; Your date will be full of many thoughts while you two are together. Axes are just plain creepy–so leave it at home; but if you forget-just put it underneath the passengers’ seat and keep her hands away from the floor.

    Rule #2) Let your date know you took great care to prepare yourself. This is why you should take a nice warm bath in yogurt. It will leave your skin nice smooth–and if you leave some curds on you, it will help reduce your restaurant bill, or you can share a snack. Your date will thank you for your thoughtfulness !

    Rule #3) It will also help if you put on some a nice scent. Avoid the colognes or body sprays-since they are so artificial. Instead, slaughter a deer and rub the scent glands all over your body about 30 minutes before you meet your date. She will be just faint as she reaches for the doorknob.

    Rule #4) Are you still taking notes? Good. Got to #5

    Rule #5) Conversation is always important. Now remember that 70% of all communication is non-verbal. So begin by using sign language. You will keep her guessing, and guessing, and guessing throughout the entire date.

    Rule #6) If you are planning on taking your date out to eat–instead of a cafe or some fast food joint, why not give her a real treat by cooking your meal under the hood of your automobile engine? (Fish works wonders–especially with lemon grass. ) Drive 30 miles out of town, pull over on the shoulder and pop open the hood for a suprise she’ll always remember (as long as she doesn’t find the axe under her car seat).

    Rule #7) If your date is giggling, shaking, and her eyes are wide open, then you have succeeded in getting her attention. And your date is going along smoothly. If she faints, be prepared; and whip out the smelling salts that is tucked inside your boutinere. Help make your date have a night she’ll never forget.

    That’s all for now.

    Do you have any better dating suggestions for men?

  35. smajorusa says:

    I would like to know about the word [point blank].

  36. swampwiz says:

    “I have nothing to wear for this date”

    As for myself, I would consider a date a very good one if I could get her to wear nothing at some point.

  37. pedanticKarl says:

    Holy frak, did anyone see the message
    HotForWords sent me in that video?
    Hooo, hooo, that was a doozie.
    That wasn’t a euphemism nor was it
    beating around the bush.
    Anyone see the message? Hmmm? :lol:
    C’mon capman, give us a screen shot :-)

  38. pandion says:

    I met my last girlfriend online in a chat room. We chatted for months before we ever met face to face. Even after the very long chats, and phone calls meeting up in real was very different. We did stay together for a couple of years.

    As far as what to wear on a first date, the above mentioned girlfriend, and I suggested tight and sexy as her sister was preparing for one, but I told her to not shave her legs, and wear the ugliest undies she owned. We did not want the guy to think she was easy, and that would help her from letting things go to far. :evil:

  39. MCLIJazz says:

    Is that really your new hairstyle or a wig? Either way, I like it. I think I said that before, but it’s worth repeating. :smile:

  40. Casual dating begins with a pair of cat glasses and a pyramid spiked jacket

  41. Capman911 says:

    I think Marina looks like Meredith Salenger in this photo. Or vise versa.

  42. pedanticKarl says:

    Dang, is Oscar Wilde still living?
    He must have seen this video too cause he
    said that the only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it. :lol:

  43. pedanticKarl says:

    Excuse me sir, have I arrived at the euphemism lesson?
    Oh, good. I’ve been to Australia too. :lol:
    Excellent lesson.
    Dang, I’m all prepped now. I think I already won.
    As they say, best laid plans. :mrgreen:

    • pedanticKarl says:

      Hey leoNerd, your tongue is hanging out all over the place.
      You’re not tongue tied, are you? Or, is it that tongue in cheek?
      I could have sworn this was the euphemism video lesson.

      • leoNard says:

        A demonym, also referred to as a gentilic, is a name for a resident of a locality and is derived from the name of the particular locality. :razz: Are we “wordists”? from Hot for?……….Toponymy is the scientific study of place names (toponyms), their origins, meanings, use and typology. The word ‘Toponymy’ is derived from the Greek words tópos (τόπος) (‘place’) and ónoma (ὄνομα) (‘name’). Toponymy is itself a branch of onomastics, the study of names of all kinds. Toponymy is distinct, though often confused with etymology, which is the study of the history of languages themselves. :-) I’m dated like a prune :lol:

  44. Capman911 says:
