Wish I could help but I have most of the minor works, with UT being the only one that comes to mind.

Guinevere · 10-06-2006, 08:23 AM

Still nobody? Well, I'll tell you then.
Tom Bombadil calls Farmer Maggot "Penny-wise tub-on-legs!" in "Bombadil goes boating"

And here is a new "insult", I hope easier to locate!

Now come, you filth!

Dimturiel · 10-07-2006, 12:45 PM

Sam to Shelob, by any chance?

Guinevere · 10-07-2006, 12:53 PM

Exactly!

Grishnakh to Ugluk, TTT pg 55

And that's my 100th post!

Dimturiel · 10-16-2006, 12:04 PM

Yep. You're right.

Rikae · 11-14-2006, 09:59 PM

Someone else can take my turn.

Guinevere · 11-15-2006, 02:45 AM

OK, here we go:

Feanor to Olwe, by any chance?

Guinevere · 11-15-2006, 02:28 PM

Your turn again, Dimturiel!

Dimturiel · 11-16-2006, 12:57 PM

Thank you

baseborn mortal

Guinevere · 11-21-2006, 12:28 PM

I guess that's Thingol to Beren?

Dimturiel · 11-21-2006, 12:50 PM

That's right!

Guinevere · 11-21-2006, 12:56 PM

Thank you, Dimturiel! (btw, I like your signature! Where does it come from?)

Here's another nice insult:

Quote:

You descendant of rats!

Dimturiel · 11-25-2006, 11:19 AM

This has to be Thorin to Bilbo.

Guinevere · 11-25-2006, 01:05 PM

Exactly!

(it seems we two are alone here on this thread... What's become of Sleepy?)

Dimturiel · 11-27-2006, 12:57 PM

So it seems it's my turn again. (By the way, Guinevere I'm glad you like my sig.

It's from a poem by Yeates called "Stollen child".)

Quote:

ill-gotten son

Good luck!

mhagain · 12-15-2006, 05:29 PM

Well it's been almost 20 days and since I'm new here and exploring around I may as well jump in.

Eol to Maeglin, on the Caragdur.

Quote:

So you forsake your father and his kin, ill-gotten son! Here you shall fail of all your hopes, and here may you yet die the same death as I.

Dimturiel · 12-16-2006, 07:28 AM

That's the one. Welcome to the Downs!

Captain Grishnahk · 12-19-2006, 11:44 AM

I have no idea...

Elmo · 03-14-2007, 02:05 PM

Since its been about an age here's one

Quote:

Blind you are...

Guinevere · 03-15-2007, 01:39 PM

This would be Húrin mocking Morgoth:

"Blind you are, Morgoth Bauglir, and blind shall ever be, seeing only the dark."

Elmo · 03-15-2007, 02:25 PM

Well done, too easy.. the question itself was insulting

Guinevere · 03-15-2007, 02:53 PM

Not at all! I am glad that you revived the thread, hewhoaresesinmight!

Here's a new insult, directed at all those who have neglected this thread for so long

Quote:

Come on, you slugs!

Elmo · 03-15-2007, 02:59 PM

Is that when Sam and Frodo get stopped by the orcs in mordor?

Guinevere · 03-15-2007, 03:15 PM

That's right! The orc captain to diguised Frodo & Sam.

Your turn again!

Lord Melkor · 03-15-2007, 03:22 PM

I hope you guys don't mind me putting up the next one.

"Get thee gone from my gate, thou jail-crow of.....!" (last word omitted to make it a bit harder

).

Morwen · 03-15-2007, 07:49 PM

Feanor to Melkor (as he then was)

The Sixth Wizard · 03-24-2007, 08:10 PM

The last word is 'Mandos' as well.

Finduilas · 05-22-2007, 07:59 PM

I'm bored, so here goes... Are movie insults allowed? I don't know if this is in the books...

You sea rats!

That was uttered by the Orc with the interesting headpiece at the docks to whom he thought was a ship full of Corsairs (but was actually Aragorn and friends). The exact quote is: "Late as usual, pirate scum! There's knife work here needs doing. Come on, you sea rats! Get out off your ships!"

Finduilas · 06-06-2007, 09:01 AM

Right!

Morthoron · 06-07-2007, 06:59 AM

"Who are these miserable persons?"

Dimturiel · 06-09-2007, 12:05 PM

This was said by the Great Goblin about the Dwarves and Bilbo.

Morthoron · 06-09-2007, 08:12 PM

Yes, along with several other insults that would've have really given it away!
Great job! Your turn.

Dimturiel · 06-10-2007, 11:36 AM

Thank you!

Quote:

deluded allies

Here you are.

Morthoron · 06-10-2007, 05:02 PM

That would be the Mouth of Sauron, referring to terms with the rabble of Gondor and its deluded allies.

Dimturiel · 06-11-2007, 02:44 AM

Yep, that's the one.

Morthoron · 06-11-2007, 06:34 AM
