A noble Elf from Nargothrond, Gwindor became Turin's companion following the tragic slaying of Beleg. He guided Beleg to Ivrin and healed his soul before taking him to Nargothrond. Gwindor was slain in combat when the forces of Nargothrond clashed with those of Morgoth.
A character in Tolkien's 'The Silmarillion'.

Thinking you're better than other people because you're working class, have a regional accent, don't use big words, read tabloid papers, or for other reasons which are opposite to those which would be involved in "snobbery" in the usual sense.
The argument that people who live in "rough" areas are the only ones who "know" about crime and that everyone else should shut up is just an example of inverse snobbery.

Cave-citadel in western Beleriand, ruled by Finrod who was known as Felagund, the master of caves, because of it. Like Gondolin, it was established as a hidden city, and was based on dwarven architecture. It was mostly underground.
Forces from Nargothrond were heavily involved in Dagor Bragollach, with the leading warrior Gelmir captured by Morgoth. Only a small company took part in Nirnaeth Arnoediad, but, led by Gwindor, they played a central role, charging rashly into battle and precipitating disaster.
The reason there was only a small force is that Nargothrond was on bad terms with the sons of Feanor, two of whom Celegorm and Curufin had usurped rule of Nargothrond during Finrod's absence (he was imprisoned in Tol Sirion along with Beren, and who died there). The rightful ruler Orodreth was eventually restored with the help of Beren and Luthien.
Turin later travelled to Nargothrond along with Gwindor, and precipitated the downfall of the city by counselling a more aggressive military strategy (the elves had previously relied on secrecy and arrows in the dark). A bridge was built to allow assaults, but instead it was used by Glaurung and a host of orcs to attack Nargothrond and lay it to waste.
Glaurung turned Nargothrond into his lair until he was slain; after which Mim the petty dwarf took it over, until slain by Hurin.

1) a Bolshevik, or someone accused of having Bolshevik (communist) leanings).
2) (more commonly) an adjective meaning that someone is very assertive in the pursuit of something and/or hostile to authoritarian manoeuvres by others. A bolshy person gets cross if confronted and is likely to say "what's it to you?", "mind your own business" and stuff like that a lot.
3) also the name of a short-lived youth magazine run by the Alliance for Workers' Liberty.

He was getting stroppy with me, so I started getting bolshy.
A lot of students get a bit bolshy after a few pints.
