Aragorn: colloq. (Aus), collapsed version of the full "Are we going?". As in: Look sugar, I've been loading up the car for three hours with your make-up so you can stop asking 'Aragorn' every coupla minutes. Savvy?"

Gandalf: n., 1) a male goose (otherwise gander), who is also called Alf and 2) a person named Alf who closely resembles a gander.

Middle-Earth: The earth with the syndrome. As in: "Have you seen all the wars on Middle-earth?" "Yes, Geoffrey, and I can only put it down to middle-earth syndrome."
