Gollum Trivia - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Good job!

Other examples I had in mind were:

Frodo threatening Gollum with the Ring before the Black Gate that he could make Gollum cast himself from a precipice or into fire.

Frodo threatening Gollum at Henneth Annun to make him choke on the fish bones.

Bilbo "threatening" him in the Hobbit - he didn't actually make a threat but Gollum became subdued at the sight of the drawn sword nevertheless.

I didn't have the one with Sam on Cirith Ungol, though.

As is well known our good friend Samwise Gamgee despised Gollum and gave him many unfavorable names. I was able to find at least 11 distinct names that Sam called Gollum. Out of these 11 I would consider 6 names to be easy and 5 to be difficult to find. If you can name 7 at least that is good enough, however I do want at a minimum 2 of the difficult names. Remember they are actual names not just mean things said about or to Gollum.

Here's what I found (my eyes are burning!!)
Gollum, Smeagol, Stinker, Slinker, Mr. Gollum, old noser, villian, stinking thing,
poor wretch, nasty creature. I'm not sure if the last two count because Sam was talking to some one else when he called Gollum these.

I'll count it. My list is as follows

Footpad
Stinker
Slinker
Villian
It
Creature (3 times w/ different adjectives i.e. nasty trecherous, dratted, trecherous murderous)
Wretch
Old Noser
False (Gray area on this one if it's an actual name or not)
Gobbler
Thing

Your turn

What was Gloin jealous about Gollum?

mormegil · 05-08-2005, 09:21 PM

Do you mean the way in which Gollum was treated better in captivity among Thranduil's people than Gloin was?

Holbytlass · 05-09-2005, 03:51 AM

Exactly, your go...
