the 411 on Eomer - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Can't think of anything on Eomer that Manwe hasn't said. Just wanted to add - I've always heard "the 411 on [name]" as meaning simply their basic information; name, location, spouse, children, job, any basic facts relating to their life. Of course it's like the actuall 411 site (or phone number) will give you all that information, but such are the vagaries of linguistic development.
