[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Royd Tolkien was an un-named, nonspeaking Ranger in "Return of the King", and for his trouble Christopher disinhereted him, because Christopher detests the movies so much. He's WACKY
My professional dealings with the Tolkien estate have led me to the same conclusion, though I would probably have said "A wacky ASSHAT."
