Now we just need someone to translate the word "asshook" into Sindarin and we'll have come full circle.
...what makes you think I haven't *tried*?
(un?)fortunately, the Professor left nothing anatomically-appropriate. Lots of "hands" and "eyes" and "heads" and "feet" and "hair" and "hearts" and such. No asses.
It's like old Trek - no bathrooms. They didn't NEED them? Elves don't s(h)it?
I'm just going to sit here and watch SH get his geek on, with other geeks! Because I can
vaguely
follow the Tolkien conversation, but that's mostly due to years of hanging out with SH.
Wow, not sure if it's safe to cone into the thread. Annnnnyway, I'm in Ketchikan, Alaska, and have cell access for a couple of hours. Yay! It's gray and rainy here, which is unsurprising given they measure their rainfall in feet rather than inches.
Elves don't s(h)it?
I suspect that is the implication. Or at least the wish.
(And yes, I went and looked and found hooks --
gamp
or
gammas,
context-dependent -- but no asses.)
(Also? I DON'T EVEN LIKE TOLKIEN and I've been sucked in, curse you all.)
Oh come now, there must be an Elvish word for "bottom" or "behind"! Get creative!
Elves don't s(h)it?
No. Lembas melts on their tongues and any minimal waste products are expelled through the skin as an ethereal glow.
Well, Elvish is very much Finnish, so find a Finnish word for ass.
In Sindarin, "behind-hook" would be "adelgamp".
There is no lexicon of the Finnish-like Quenya. TSOL.
Now look what you made me do?! You made me TRANSLATE ASSHOOK.
Actually, that's kinda cool. *buffs fingernails on hoodie*
