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

I'm quite guilty of stating that we're having "ta-mah-toes, sausages, and nice crispy bacon", whether we are or not... which come to think of it is odd, because I hate sausage and I'm only tolerant of bacon on a cheeseburger.
If there is a no-passing sign on the road, I can't help but say in a completely serious voice... "You shall not pass."

Random wisps of cloud get the crebain-from-Dunland treatment, and "What is this new devilry?" is as much a part of my vocabulary as "What the heck is that thing?".

The Frodo-accented "You're late." is a bit of a given, really, as most of my friends have a bitterly life-long war waged with punctuality.

I've also muttered "Nirnaeth Arnoediad" on a few occasions... not because it applied at all to the situation, but more because it's terribly fun to say.

I use "Fool of a Took" extensively, because I call my sister that every time she's being weird, getting on my nerves, or I just want to irritate her. It's almost become her nickname!

Beyond that, both my sister and I say "Get off the road!". I'm not sure why, but it just fits, especially when you're walking and a car is coming. It's so perfect.
