Gamgeene: The quality of complete loyalty to a person or quest, enabling one to perservere against apparently hopeless odds. Most frequently refers to someone carrying a friend up the side of an active volcano.

Nazgul: a technical support person under the power of the forces of Mordor. Instead of fixing a problem over the phone, a nazgul will ask you to bring your computer to a repair shop located several hundred leagues away and guarded by countless companies of Orcs, so it can be examined by his supervisor, who is usually a glowing red eye.

to mount doom and back (expression) = aproximate synonyme of 'to hell and back', with the mention that a sarcifice is added to the list, e.g. the loss of a finger

bilbilly = an unsophisticated and conservatory person that some may regard as stupid, but in actuality, there is more to him than meets the eye.

Let's try another one (not as good as yours, I am afraid) [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Gollumic torture (expression): especially painful torture of body and mind. Examples of gollumic tortures are to tie somebody with elvish cords; feed somebody with cooked rabbit, or offer somebody fish and chips.

LOL, Amarie, your post brought this to mind:

to tater = to use coloqualisms in order to annoy persons you dislike and who are clueless as to what you're refering to. Can also be used in reference to obscure arcane talk by Tolkien afficionados.

And this - I can't believe this hasn't been done so far!

to eowyn: to change one's appearance drastically in order to do something that your previous appearance prevented you from doing. (ex: If "Bob" hadn't eowyned, he wouldn't have been able to join the needlework club without being laughed at.)

grey haven: A place where one would prefer to be and/or travel to, instead of staying in the original place.
(ex: I really want to go to Japan! That place is such a grey haven!)
(syn: blessed realm, valinor)

hobbitism: Chronic shortness. Other symptoms include: Large, hairy feet, curly hair, large eyes, and a phobia of going outside one's own backyard. May also result in cuteness, in which case one should stay away from fangirls.

uruk-hai-ism: A liking of licking one's own blood off a blade, also worsening one's wound, by pushing the blade even further into one's body, and grouping together in large numbers in order to take over a large, usually foolproof building. (syn: terroristism, maniacism, bullyism)

boromir: a person who likes small things which carry lots of power, large, round objects, and has lots of perseverence. A person who is a boromir would not like people who are a threat to one's status, and would resent them. Boromirs are usually loners, but will generally tolerate others, unless one of them happened to be a threat to one's status (see: aragorn, strider, elessar, estel, telcontar, elfstone, longshanks, wingfoot.... etc).
Occasional tendency to steal things.

Hmm... I'm running out of ideas.

Toll-keen: 1.) a person who is obsessed with collecting tolls, taxes, tariffs, etc. or any other forms of monetary payment; 2.) a person who is extremely fond of something; 3.) an extremely gifted genius with a gigantic group of followers who worship his every word, and who created another plane of existence, complete with languages, races, etc.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 09-21-2003, 09:11 PM

Hey...can I join?

Thanks! Here goes:

1) Gore lore(noun)- stories involving main characters losing an upper appendage(i.e., a finger or a hand)
I heard that most pirate stories are gore-lore.

2) Ungoliantine(adj.)- refers to a person(or arthropod) that feeds on light, chews on jewels, or helps More-goths*(meaning 1) do great evil by causing blackouts.
Do you know how the thief stole the jewels? He had the help of an Ungoliantine cat!

3) Elvish(adj.)- anyone who occasionaly spurts out words that do not exist in the real world; also anyone who flees to a grey haven* whenever troubles come.
I had a fight with an elvish youth. I never understood a word he said, but last I heard of him was he was going to Japan.

Hope they suffice...

Here goes: 1) Gore lore(noun)- stories involving main characters losing an upper appendage(i.e., a finger or a hand) I heard that most pirate stories are gore-lore. 2) Ungoliantine(adj.)- refers to a person(or arthropod) that feeds on light, chews on jewels, or helps More-goths(meaning 1) do great evil by causing blackouts. Do you know how the thief stole the jewels? He had the help of an Ungoliantine cat!* 3) Elvish(adj.)- anyone who occasionaly spurts out words that do not exist in the real world; also anyone who flees to a grey haven* whenever troubles come. I had a fight with an elvish youth. I never understood a word he said, but last I heard of him was he was going to Japan.
