Most commonly quoted Quote - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I don't vocalize this but I quote to myself Gandalf saying "can you give it to them then don't be so hasty...."

It makes me stop and think before I make judgement.

Though actual vocalization of quotes would be the Gollum sound for my daughter don't know how much she likes it but it's fun. Fact is I probably don't sound much like Gollum at all

"I'd give anything for a whiff of Old Toby" and "Longbottom Leaf: the finest pipeweed in the Shire" are phases oft said in the office when it is time for us dirty smokers to go out for a cigarette break.

"Your love of the halflings leaf has clearly slowed your mind" is also a phase used regularly.

I also get called "a fool of a took" quite a lot, but they dont know!

I use 'fool of a Took' quite a lot as it is such a great insult, not too mean but so fun to say!

I also sing Sam's oliphaunt song whenever we go to the zoo, though I do have to make up some sections as I can never remember it all.

Adding 'precioussss' to the end of sentences is amusing, especially if you do it near people who have either never read/seen LotR as they simply think you are slightly crazed.

Also I say 'hannon le' for thank you and 'mae govannen' for nice to meet you but they aren't really quotes as such.

I do often sing little songs from the LotR to myself as I'm walking along (yo my own tunes). I memorised the whole of the Song of the Ent and Entwife once... forgot it again though.

Sometimes I'll say "Aure entuluva" to myself when I'm slightly annoyed at modern life, though I don't usually voice it.

Aside from using quotes most of you have already mentioned, I also use Shadowfax's famous line when I plow through the ranks of humanity trying to come between me and home (and Naruto, but that's a given.)

C'mon, I know you know what I'm talking about.

Neigh!

I say 'Don't tempt me, Frodo!' whenever any of my friends call to go out and I should stay home and get some work done, or any lovely vices that will take the place of duties!

And with Lalwende, I call mid morning snack 'second breakfast', it seems more natural.

'And not for the last time' from The Hobbit , on any occasion when I know I will think of something or do something many times.

Here in Germany, the mid-morning snack is actually called "second breakfast"! We must be hobbits after all...
