  • something less than your usual gusto

  • I don't think that iceland is actually a origin for english words

  • Marina is the best...GOD bless HotForW0rds

  • @thawthepast sit down your boner is showin

  • @SVKP122 Don't look it might fire back!! {joke}  :-)

  • then how come when someone has info on u that u dont want them to tell they blackmail you for stuff

  • Good stuff.

    Wolfe

  • Russian blackmailer zzzz

  • could you do one on the word stranger?

  • I wish girls like you could multiply, smart and hot

  • yeah

  • BOOBS ARE POWA!

  • i alway assumed its prbbly to do with threats or curses written on black paper(hows that for intimidating?) in order to be on the safe side ppl would pay a token so no harm would come over them. imagine a thug with small black cards going around the small shops and farmers. its a bit like what the black hand did with notes and playing cards.

  • she said f8cked @ 135 lol

  • i think she said fact.

  • wasn't black descibed as a dark mysterious thing (evil), and mail was described as a message?

  • are u russian? i am.

  • Great work! Please continue. Informative and great fun!!!

  • I am really learning some words!  Yes, it's easy to pay attention, but your explanations are clear and interesting. Thank you and keep it up.

  • Pretty cool. 5 stars.

  • Marina, you are the goddess of vocab, the temptress of type and the luscious lady of literature. You are H O T !!!! OMG!!!

  • I was intrigued by your 'Desire' to educate,and and the phrase 'contempt prior to investigation'comes to mind.

    Querry: several words seem Scotish in ancient origin(?)because?Class feudal system? or Religeous diversity?

  • How about a video on the origins of the word black or of some other colors? Thanks!

  • Black was used to describe a color long before anyone decided to use it to describe a person and it can refer to both good and bad things and people just like any other color can. There's no reason for anyone to suggest it automatically implies something racist when used in a word anymore than it does any other color and I'm sure hotforwords would agree. I'm fascinated by words too, hotforwords. Superb video. Five stars from me!

  • that idea of urs is written in my website!

  • Oops, you raced over the key, that black-white currency distinction. Was black currency what penny/silver-less blacks used to buy/barter,, referring to the agrarian black market? JSTOR has some stuff Google(sic)-able on point. Enjoying yoir segments as a whole!

  • tehehehe you have an accent ^_^

  • aw you're so smart...

  • This video makes me wonder about compromised positions.

  • I love words too

  • i got one for ya, how about the word "blackguard"? also NOT a racist word, but with an interesting history/defintion

  • if you subscribe to me i will do the same to you

    just send me a message saying u subscribed

    :]

  • ur shit

  • hmmmehehehheheh i blackmail you so you can dress like that for me, lawl

  • good job!

  • Do you know Greek words? which is used to form into English words.

    English now a days had totally lost/change its substancial juicy pure meaning!!!

    Ok lets test your knowledge.

    Try these two words

    "Faithful" + "love"

    can you define this...

    there is a few meanings for love that came from the greek words. (If I am not mistaken or could recall, 4 / 5 types)

    IMPRESS ME!!! if u can. Since there is already clues to the words I mentioned.

  • Great stuff! I love it!

  • You are great, more please...

  • WOW! Awsome! This is incredible that someone has came out with defending the truth for once, instead of the FALSE accusations that racist ultra-sensitive liberals tend to spew! THEY are what keeps racsism alive and well, and this is a GREAT example!

    Thank You very much for educating the ignorant!

  • Doing Great Keep the word coming!

  • You are way cute while doing it, but you gave a very occult definition. I doubt many, if any of the people who watched this really understood. I'm not even sure I fully comprehend it all. But it's ok cuz you're cute ;-)

  • Marina is so gorgeous!

  • :) you are great!

  • gb2/mommy's basement

  • i hope u are just a noraml girl making videos on ur webcam and not a fake actress type person which u see on youtube all the time now

  • cool video

  • You are awesome! Beauty and brains in a single package. And you get the teaching across without being cocky. Love your videos Marina. Keep up the good work.

  • Wow, this was possibly the best one yet! Fascinating origin for this one!!! ^__^

  • good job on this video

  • or u were tired....

  • i looked at your eyes in this video...and i can see ur getting something from making this video. Or at least ur not just making these videos for fun or something of that sort...

  • 'Black Mail' comes from Nordic and means 'bad mail'.

    Similarly, when someone does a job without paying taxes it is called 'black work' in the nordic languages.

  • so your saying the word "black" from the word "blackmail" means bad

  • I think she said,

    black money = barter and white money = currency. No judgment passed.

  • It's so so so sad many of your "comments" come from self centered egomaniacal ignoramouses and incredibly inmature adolecents who don't appreciate you for the wealth of information you bring to those who wouldn't receive it any other way... Yes, you may still have my children :)

  • Do you know the meaning or origin of the word "Honyock"? Great videos by the way. Keep em coming.

  • i want to be a model

    but i am black

    check my page tell me if I can

  • you're so cute! Word origin is cool, but do us a bigger service, teach some of these uneducated American dumb asses how to spell!

  • the only thing remotely interesting about this video is the stupid part where the EXTORTION thing pops up with a dude holding a gun...LMAO

  • YOU LOOK LIKE YOU DRIVE A MERCEDES and have never worked a day in your life (standing up)

  • Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

  • ...geile Sau !

  • what if your mail comes from a female who is white?

  • It's not as racist as the term niggeracci.

  • Awesome!! Smart girl!!

  • you suck

  • fit

  • She's hot.....great accent

  • u really suck!

  • giddy giddy goo!

  • plz stop spamming...

  • WOW! Awsome! This is incredible that someone has came out with defending the truth for once, instead of the FALSE accusations that racist ultra-sensitive liberals tend to spew! THEY are what keeps racsism alive and well, and this is a GREAT example!

    Thank You very much for educating the ignorant!

  • What the fuck are you going on about...? She's been doing this for a shitload longer than Chris Crocker... you're retarded.

    PS: She probably knows english a lot better than you ever will.

  • Hey Looser - Your brain is probably frozen already from lving in that god-forsaken land up north. This is probably as close as all you losers get to any hot chick, you pimple faced 30 somethings.... BE-Atch!

  • rrpj..Alias:

    RETARDED REPEATITIVE PENIS JERKER

    Thinks his education in EBONICS will take him far in life. Unfortunately for him, he won't realize that until he wakes up to the sound of "Excuse me, EXCUSE ME! Can I get fries with that?!"

  • bigImac - Little MAC BOY, she was on Feb. 26 07, CHRIS CROCKER Came in Feb. 25, 07... ONE WHOLE DAY BEFORE SHE DID, YOU LOOSE.. DO YOUR RESEARCH FIRST!!! Be-Atch!

  • You "LOOSE", I think the research you need to do is how to spell LOSE, and LOSER! Denial of your demise will only serve as your penitence.

    I wish you luck at your career at Winchills! LMFAOROTFLOL! So long LOSER!

  • LMFAO! Here we have an obvious MORON (rrpj) correcting someone that had to LEARN a foreign language (English) that can't even speak it themselves! Since when is BE-ATCH an English word? EBONICS is NOT ENGLISH! Glad you could make an ass out of yourself for everyone! LMFAO! See you in the Ghetto!

  • Hey Looser! When was the last time you had a record deal? now i"m LMFAO! Cover songs, original? Why haven't we seen you on MTV... That's right, walk away with a big L on your forehead! All you got to do all day is sit around your mom's basement looking at half-ass wanna be hot chicks who cant speak english, Be-Atch!

  • LMFAO! Uh, "Looser" is spelled LOSER, you LOSER! Who ever said anything about a record deal? The voices in your head acting up again are they?

    No, I think while YOU'RE shitting your underwear in YOUR mom's basement and jacking off, I will be content to go to the recording studio! LMFAO!

  • Don't even bother, pm. He's so convinced that she apparently copied Chris Crocker (I must've missed his english lesson videos...) that he doesn't realize he would have to actually reach up his ass and pull his head out to see the world normally. What a looser eh! lol... but yeah he made such a compelling argument...

  • Yes, I know what you mean. If it weren't for the fact that he misspelled half of what he wrote, and using the Ebonics in his "compelling argument", perhaps it would be so funny whn we say:

    rrpj..Alias:

    RETARDED REPEATITIVE PENIS JERKER

  • lol

  • If you want to know a word just use wikipedia.

    Don't ask this slut. Give a man a fish, feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you have fed him for a lifetime. Same thing here, don't ask this bitch to google or wikipedia the etymology of random words, just do it yourself.

  • brainwashed.

  • can u jsut get naked.. thats wut everyone is waiting for

  • The term "yellow bastard" is racist too. IT refers to a chineese bastard. Ok, just kidding.

    According to that person, they'd probably think "black smith" was racist too.

  • your hot baby

  • cookoo

  • the end is the best bit.

  • We should call it Negro Mail.

  • African American Mail if you want to be "politically correct".

  • lol!

  • oh man you are so hot. i love your accent! is there anyway we could see you in a thong?

  • People give you the thumbs down but this bitch is using sex apeal and you all fucking know it. Who the hell wants to listen to this girl unless she's getting naked or is becoming a human pin-cusion?

  • She's using her possibilitys to become attetion on youtube. That's ok and nice!

  • Love the knowledge!!! Thnx, and I love the naughty schoolgirl dress ;-)

  • i don't know what your talking about but your HOT!

  • HOOT-MON !!! That's a good one.

  • yeah this a prime example of russian girls.....they are hot AND smart

  • That's actually pretty cool. You're really smart :-D (I'll try to cut down on the "let me see your boobs)

  • yeah. how come all the envelopes got to be white. 5 stars.

  • not just extortion by threat, but it is specifically a threat to expose a secret

  • Interesting as always. I learn something new each time. Great work.

    Is it me or does it seem that alot of people purposely try to find racial negativity in everything said these days?

  • Wooohoo, Old Icelandic ! IN YOUR FACE FAROE ISLANDS ! WE ARE MORE FAMOUS ! NANANANA

  • I really like to see your pics, you look really sexy :)

  • how does she know all this ?

  • Princessmaryo

    Google

  • No, it means you're a stupid idiot.

  • So... the real racist word is actually "black" used to mean "bad" or "evil" as opposed to "white" meaning "good" or "pure".

  • Except that using "black" to represent "bad" or "evil" has nothing to do with race.

  • No. black is not a racist word. And is not used to mean evil nor used against any human race in this context.

  • stephanieinez10: You can use a knife to kill people of a certain race, but that doesn't make the knife a real racist utensil.

  • stephanieinez10 I responded to the same comment above.. though in this instance the black may refer more to the nature of the payment not being white in color, as in silver, but black in color as in cattle or crops.

    But you do bring up a valid point.

  • cool, I like learning the orgins of your words. It helps me in high school, lol. Best of luck to you, and I gave it 4 stars. Girl power! lol

  • i bet her mouth opens up really wide

  • OK. Shouldn't you change your name to hotforgooglingwordorigins?

  • Are you kidding me, some bimbo is giving language lesson on youtube instead of wear a T/A oufit and dancing, I have seen everything now I can die a happy man.

  • fuck off!!

  • you the bomb!!!!

  • I ♥ Hotforwords - Very interesting!

  • In Icelandic the word is "mál"[maul]. "á" is a different letter than "a" + pronounced similar to "au". Mál means language, issue, matter, speech, measure,...

  • ....but where does the english "mail" came from?

  • I wish you were my teacher...

  • i can`t watch the whole video because i am too busy helping OJ... we are still looking for the REAL KILLER.

  • ahhh....so hot

  • duh? nice to know, i wont be watching slowburn thanks marina

  • You, sir, have no originality. All your videos are copies and your website link does not work. Install that.

  • I like word origin probably the best of all ur vids... since ur pretty awkward with English I lose interest fast and turning it off when you start to beat around the bush. (thats a nice phrase do "beat around the bush" whenever you have a chance)

  • Finally someone who can get thru to me. This is educational!!!

  • excellent practice to define the origin of commen phrases and words...i love the educational value of "hot for words", it's my first time and i am gonna subscribe for the lovely woman and her accent and effort

  • Thanks for subscribing scalumnus and the kind words!

    Marina

  • Hey what about the word c

  • Your voice is so soothing.

  • You're good :-)

  • Very nice vid.Hot and sexy!Bra and panties next time?

  • I'm learning!!

  • The word is derived from the word for tribute paid by English and Scottish border dwellers to Border Reivers in return for immunity from raids. This tribute was paid in goods or labour (reditus nigri, or "blackmail"): the opposite is blanche firmes or reditus albi, or "white rent" (denoting payment by silver).

  • Cute and Smart, i love it. Pause it at 2:03 when she looks up with her eyes. So Cute!!

  • Thank you teacher.

  • Yes tdktv those pictures are of me.  I finally found some kind of use for them :-)

  • Do you have DVD available? I would so buy one!
