I hope this counts as an insult:

I think it's an insult. This quote is bugging me: it sounds familiar, but I can't picture anyone saying it. A clue, maybe?

Just a shot in the dark - Aragorn? It sounds like something he'd say to Gimli and Legolas...

It's neither from LotR, nor from the Hobbit.

I would never have guessed it, even with the clue, if I didn't happen to come across it while rereading that part of COH yesterday. It's Mablung, talking to Morwen and Nienor, when they go to Nargothrond to look for Turin. Morwen wanted to search herself, but Mablung dissuaded her.

Well done, Galadriel55.

Galadriel55 · 03-03-2011, 06:17 PM

Thanks! But that was more luck than me...

I didn't want to use an insult that's too obscure, or use one that is aplied to every character (like fool). I hope this one will count!

PS: it's not really an insult, but it kind of is...

Hm, could it be Túrin to his kinswoman Aerin (the Easterling's wife)?
