LotR sayings can fit any where! - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I'm ashamed to say it, but my most used saying is from the films:

"You're 'opeless"

It seems to fit with so many situations.

Hissing "We wantss it!!" in a Gollum-esque voice always works for me. Doesn't matter WHAT we wants, it's the tone that counts. It freaks people out, which is always fun.

I also enjoy saying "Where... is... Gan...dalf?" in my hokey Celeborn/William Shadner voice, just to make my sister laugh.

Once I actually said "Mae govannen, mellon" when someone offered me a slice of melon. They gave me a strange look. *sniff sniff* No one understands me!!!

Oh yeah, and this isn't a LOTR saying, but imitating Figwit can be really fun. Just sit really still and straight, and flare your eyebrows every three seconds or so. Make note of all the weird glances you get. I dare you.

Okay, now I'm frightening myself. I need counseling.

I've given someone Gandalf's "good morning" rap from The Hobbit...

Quote:

What do you mean? Do you wish me a good morning, or mean that it is a good morning whether I want it or not, or that you feel good this morning, or that it is a morning to be good on?

Needless to say, she didn't answer: "All of them at once, and a fine morning for smoking a pipe into the bargain!" She kinda didn't understand it...*sigh* we Tolkienites really must form our own country...

my favorite

"Now, now don't be hasty" works almost everywhere especially at work my boss tells me to move faster.

Or when we're about to get a test "One by one they fell to the power of the teacher."

and i like saying all of treebeard's lines for no reason at all

All these are really fun!

I quote Lotr a lot, but right now the only thing that comes to mind (and apropriately, too) is the "Filthy pop-ups! Wicked , trickssy, falssse! Curse them! We hates them, we hates them forever!" OT: there's a pop-up that keeps coming up asking me if I want to get rid of pop-ups! I mean, seriously...

How tricksy can you get?

btw - I was on another, non-lotr related forum a few days ago, and someone said she was getting 'gollumic' because of a link that was not working. I was about to ask her if she knows the 'Downs and this thread:http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showthread.php?t=5284
But then I figured that Lotr had become so much of a mainstream thingy, that these sayings probably entered into spoken language already. How cool is this? This is language in the making!

That is so eery, Evisse the Blue! I say the same things about pop-ups. Often times when I`m about to post something, I discover that the same thing has already been posted! I think that we LotR fans share brain waves or something.

Now that I think about it, we really are inventing another language!

Went to see Chronicles of Riddick this weekend, and during a couple of scenes all I could think of was "Dirty, nasty, fithy orcs! We hatesss them, yesss we do." Don't ask.

Of course, there's also the ever useful "That sucks a big hairy hobbit toe."

One of my favorites....
