The next time you are interested in finding out what a word means, or just want to look for some words to expand your vocabulary so that you sound smart, forget about reaching for the dictionary or searching online. Instead, visit HotForWords.com and let a sexy Philologist do all the work for you as she strives to make you "hot for words."

Russian born Marina Orlova is the hottie behind the website. Marina has two degrees - Teaching of Russian Language and World Literature Specializing in Philology and the Teaching of English Language Specializing in Philolog. Called the "Sexiest Philologist in the World" by New Yorker Magazine, Marina was voted the World's #1 Sexiest Geek by Wired Magazine's Sexy Geek of the Year Contest, and the 5th hottest woman on the net by G4 TV. Marina also hosts a bi-weekly radio show on Maxim Radio on Sirius Satellite Radi and is currently writing a book for HarperCollins on fun word origins.

Orlova has been working her linguistic magic since 2007 when she started the HotForWords channel on YouTube. There, her viewers are able to request a word and, if she accepts the word, she then makes a video between 5 to 7 minutes in length during which she tells you all about the word--in a sexy way. While you can go to YouTube to request a video, you can also visit her website to learn about any word you are interested in. On the site, you can also watch clips from her TV appearances, order her calendar, check out lessons she's already done, and do a little homework.
