Who is HotForWords? Her name is Marina Orlova, she’s 27 and she’s a philologist! Now you might be asking what the heck is a philologist? Well, it’s someone who studies linguistics and etymology.. and in Marina’s case.. she has applied her Philology degree to specializing in word origins.
Marina burst in on the scene in mid 2007 launching her YouTube channel HotForWords, where she takes requests from YouTube viewers for words to discuss, and she releases about five videos each week discussing the origins of these words, in a fun and playful manner!
Marina is the #1 Guru on YouTube, she’s consistently the most watched channel on ALL of YouTube as well - just ahead of Universal Music Group and the NBA, her videos are seen over three to five million times each week (58,226,080 Total Video Views on YouTube alone and counting!), she hosts a bi-weekly radio show on Maxim Radio on Sirius Satellite, yet nobody really knows much about Marina, other than what her channel states - that she is from “The Capital of the Republic of Lexicon” and her hometown is “Etymologia”.
Marina was voted the World’s #1 Sexiest Geek by Wired Magazine’s Sexy Geek of the Year Contest, she’s been on the Bill O’Reilly Factor Show on Fox teaching him a few word origins and she was just voted the 6th hottest woman on the net by G4 TV - as her tag-line at the beginning of her videos states “Intelligence is Sexy” - Marina is definitely doing her part to try to prove that point! For a video recap of all this, watch this segment from G4 Television’s Attack of the Show.
