Typos (or: Is it a Freudian slip?)

[the guy who be short]

Now just how *cough cough* AROUSED *cough cough* are these Huorns?

I posted the thing about the aroused Huorns. Here is my defence.

arouse verb 1 awaken 2 stir, move (a feeling or person)

And thats a dictionary definition, so neh!

p.s. - I agree. This should be kept as a PG.

That would leave me to have tea with a Barlog.

Since when do they serve tea at bars? And since when did logs learn to drink? [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Huorns are always Huorny.

I'd like to take this moment to point to the subject heading, Typos (or: Is It a Freudian Slip?) to those who question the suitability of the original joke. May not be a textbook typo, but the alternate meaning could qualify as a Freudian Slip. Furthermore, it doesn't even merit a PG-13 rating, and so if you think that's too riské, you would be horrified by the Entish Bow RPG. I rest my case.

[GaladrieloftheOlden]

I'm sorry, but I don't know what a Freudian slip really is. I plead young age... Would this comment qualify?

And what exactly does a scare look like? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

I found this one in a REALLY old post

I didn't especially like the winged Nazghul owing to the fact that they did not look believable while flying.

Pardon? what was that?

[Diamond18]

I'm sorry, but I don't know what a Freudian slip really is.

It's defined as "A slip of the tongue that is motivated by and reveals some unconscious aspect of the mind." In other words, when you accidentally say what's on your mind. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] Or, I suppose, it could be referring to Freud's heretofore unknown habit of wearing his mother's slip, but that's debatable...

[the guy who be short]

What she means is when you type something that has either two meanings, eg: aroused Huorns; or else there is a typo and the sentence means something else, eg: writing in dunes.
Therefore, chat mistakes and typos (such as the nazghul one we just had) do not qualify.

Edit: In two posts, I too shall do the wave for chronological order.

Crossbreads. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
You've gotta go and see what BW has written on the subject on the crossbreads thread.

[elven maiden Earwen]

You mean this:

How about if you crossed White Bread with Rye Bread. That would be crazy. [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] Or Pumpernickel and Wheat! Funny! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
I think you mean 'crossbreeds'. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Funny. Crossbread [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

[Diamond18]

My sleep deprived mind finds that inordinately funny...

Hot Cross Buns,
Hot Cross Buns,
One a penny, two a penny,
Hot Cross Buns...

[the phantom]

Are they angry for any particular reason, Diamond?

[Silmarien]

A freudian slip is when you say one thing (or type in these cases) and mean your mother.

What are you talking about? It's never too late to mine!

Here's one I picked up from the chat:

even thouhg u guys r men i will stil always b a angle to u

Obtuse, acute, or right? And the last time I checked, I wasn't a man. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

[elven maiden Earwen]

Ummmm, please remember that the topic of this thread is not misspellings of all kinds, including chat mistakes, but forum typos that make some sort of sense, though not that which was originally intended!

[img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

By the way Welcome to the Downs.

[the guy who be short]

Elven maiden Earwen, that was an acceptable contribution to this thread with the substitution of angle for angel.

I would have to say they both have their strights and weeknesses.

I would say that either spelling or typing is not one of this Downer's "strights".

Now there is something you can shout about! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

The book is souly about facts

And what is it about bodily, pray tell?

[Pyroclastic]

I had the opourtunity to see a bootleg version on the Fellowship from Indonesia with subtitles (in English, oddly enough.) The entire thing was one hoot after another. Here are a select memorable few:

Bilbo: Not some blockheaded Bracegirdle from Hardbottle was "Not some hot-skirter from hotbottle!"

Hobbits were "Hoppits"

Old Tobey, Finest weed in the South Farthing became "Old Journey, find the weed in a cave of mine"

Boromir Speech in Lorien: "Frodo's voices is inside my head. He spoke of my father in front of Gandalf. She said "Enough now, there is hope left." I can not see it. It's long since we haven't had any hopes. My father is an elf man. He allways have faith...and now people loose faith. He looked to me to make things right, but I won't do it. I don't see the glory. Have you ever seen it Aragorn...like the spike of pure silver, you could hide in the morning breeze. Have you ever been called home by the sound of trumpet?"

Half the Shire's been invited. "Office Strider's been invited."

I've got many more!

[Lord of Angmar]

Hahahaha! I wish I had a copy. I saw a Chinese bootleg of the Fellowship that was similar. Your post reminded me that I had asked my friend (who owns the copy) to send me a few funny lines from it:

Galadriel in the opening scene:

It beginning with fording the Great Rings, Seven for the dwarves, three for the Elfs, mortal and whitest of them all, and nine, nine rings were given to the brace of Man, who was all else doomed to die.

Saruman

The Nine has left Minas Mordor. They crossed the river Rising on mad summer day. They will find that thing, and they kill one who carry it.

Cheers!

Oh dear, remind me never again to eat while reading this thread!!!! There's chocolate all over my computer!

You guys have to see the Hindi version. One of my friends can fiddle with the languages on her TV, and we watched FotR in that. Here are a few memorable subtitles:

Bilbo in the Shire: I know half of you halfway up your skirts, and I like to have the rest of you half as much you like.

Pippin in the field: Look, Merry! It's Fodo Waggins!

I'm not sure if they were all typos or whether they were actually saying that in Hindi because I'm not too good at the language.

Wouldnt he of got mowed over by the horse whilst putting his horse away?

Putting his horse away? Wouldn't carrying a horse around be a little heavy? And just where was he keeping it anyway?

More funnies:

Someone had his own theory about Mordor:

Well I am pretty sure it was always there but Saroun just made it poop.

...Made it what? [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]

I'll probably be quite mad if ROTK doesn't win best picture and PJ doesn't get best actor.

I didn't know he had a lead role. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

How old was Thranduil, ... was he relatively young compared to elves suck as Cirdan or Galadriel?

(Hee hee hee...) All I can say is, whoops!

I think that last 'typo' was intentional. Something from international versions of FOTR? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Still, it's quite funny.
Peace

[elfearz1]

sorry to resurect this thread, but one of my own typos was just too funny to pass up.

*plugs ears and starts sining*"

(I said this about Aragorn)
my,my I would have thought better of a Ranger [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Something I saw on chat
"oop!!"
Intresting

[Yavanna228]

I think it's just a way of saying something to the effect of 'oops!' [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
Peace

[Tinuviel of Denton]

Also, dear sister, this is a thread for forum mistakes that make some sort of sense, though not what the writer originally intended, not chat mistakes. And what were you doing in the chat room anyway? You know we're not supposed to go there. *hands on hips, very big-sisterly pose*

A little more on topic, I seem to remember seeing someone post something about 'the ent' in place of 'the end'. Or maybe I'm just seeing things. (which is fairly likely anyway. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] )
