ANDY's definitions
Inhabitants of Harad.
Tolkien's portrayal of the Haradrim is open to criticism for racism - at one point he describes them as looking like trolls because they are black. However, it should be noted that the Haradrim are typically cajoled into combat by evil Numenoreans, who are white - effectively parallelling the use of colonial troops in European armies.
The name "Haradrim" means "people of the south" in elvish. Also known as Southrons (although these are rendered as a separate people in some accounts).

I drank some guursh and then said guursh very loudly.
The orc had drunk so much guursh that when it tried to cleave my skull it ended up hewing off its own leg. (hee hee)

Get the libstamug. Political term, meaning a whitewash except over something ecological. A greenwash is when an environmentally destructive corporation or institution gives itself a makeover to make itself look ecologically friendly, without really changing anything. For instance, it embraces green-sounding rhetoric and imagery, produces glossy PR about its supposed environmental initiatives and makes a show of "listening" to opponents, but it doesn't actually abandon the practices which led to its being condemned as being anti-ecological in the first place.
BP's rebranding, including a new logo with a yellow sun on a green background and slogans about looking after the planet, is a classic example of greenwash.
