Gandal (v.) To do nothing of real importance throughout a lengthy plot, but somehow be crucial to it. Or to be integral to a group or party, without doing anything real to help it.

Use: He gandals at parties

Ganda (n. derrivative of Gandal) The noun for someone who gandals.

Use: That man is such a ganda, it just wouldn't be fun without him.

I'm not sure if anyone has done this one yet.

Tom Bombadilloistic- (opposite of sadistic) 1) To cause others to experience great joy and happiness through the hearing of song and rhyme and lots of dancing about.
2) Extreme ecstatic exultant happiness, or obliviousness to anything of great evil.

EX. "That fellow on the table is very Tom Bombadilloistic at parties isn't he?"

Wight (vb) - to disappear due to lyrical circumstances.

One minute he was listening to Britney Spears, and poof! He was wighted!

Thou darest compare Britney to Bombadil?

Well . . . uh . . . the fifth?

Ugly - (adv.) condensed from "Uglukly", modifies verbs concerned with typically Orc-ish behavior. Ex: "Having slain a rider of the Mark at Helm's Deep, Smellybreath grinned ugly and brandished his orcish blade."

Ugluckily - (adv.) expanded from "Uglukly", modifies unexpected turns of Orcish good fortune. "Ugluckily for Grishnakh, the halflings' guards had been killed and they were totally defenseless."

403 (vb) - 1) to be banned. 2) to suffer the torment of not having to indulge in one's obsession.

I actually used this . . . in a PM, that is.

Well, I wish someone would 403 you.

Berguile n: (a) a tendency to make mistakes that hurt you. (b) no guile at all
