Hmm. I know very few people who actually have read LotR or any other Tolkien book. I know wayy tooo many Legolas (movie) fangirls.
I get back at them by convincing them legolas dies in RotK (before it came out, that is)
They were either annoyed with me or saw me as a great master. One of them thought they spoke in pig latin in the films (what an outrage!) so I spoke of elvish and it's history and a little grammar in quenya and quoted off "Nin o chithaeglir..."
If someone says something insulting about LotR I usually insult them back in elvish or black speech...
I think the best way to get back at them is speak in great detail about history of Middle Earth, or the Silmarillion, or anything complicated to a poor outsider about LotR. like rambling off the many titles of Aragorn, who said them, why,.. etc.
Or read the Silmarillion outloud and explain everything. heh.
Recently I was asked what Ents were, so I went in detail about them and their history. it was great!
Sometimes I write my notes partially in Quenya, and when my friends want to borrow my notes.. heh heh.
