uruk

large orcs with darker than usual skin and a stronger than usual dislike of the light, according to Tolkien. When I was a kid, I always used to draw the orcs as green and the uruks as black, but since Peter Jackson made them all brown, you can't tell which ones are orcs and which ones are uruks.

Which ones are uruks? I think that one over there might be. Oh hang on, that's a troll, isn't it? Damn it, you can't tell which are which!

Variag

A Tolkien word. Variags are inhabitants of a country called Khand, in southern Middle Earth, between Mordor and Harad. They aren't Haradrim, and nothing really is said about them, which makes one wonder why Tolkien put them in at all. Maybe they were to have some crucial role in a book he never got around to writing? One website says the Variags were very loyal to Sauron whereas the Haradrim were just tricked. At least that makes a bit of sense. In fact I don't think we're even told they're humans. They might be orcs. Or elves. Or aaracokra. AAARRRRGGGHHHH!!!! someone tell me what a Variag is!!!!!!

The Variag ambassador was not very popular at the royal court of Gondor.

What the hell is a Variag?????

orc-fucker

someone who fucks orcs. Must exist, because there's half-orcs in The Return of the King, and where else do they come from? (I don't believe for a second all that nonsense about "Saruman's foul magics"...)

Would also make a very good term of abuse. I'll have to try it out some time (on someone smaller than me and/or who I can run away from quickly).

Tony Blair is an orc-fucker.

My sister would be an orc-fucker, but she doesn't have good enough taste.

Amaurian

Member of the coolest ever religious heresy who basically believed in situationism, who got burned at the stake and who we only know about through some really messed-up church accusations (their own books were burned). In the Middle Ages, of course. It's a shame they aren't still around.

I wanted to put "Amaurian" as my religion on my census form, but my parents wouldn't let me.

I'm sorry, I can't go to work today. Or any day. Wage slavery is against my religion as an Amaurian.

urotsukidoji

It translates as "the wandering kid", even though the englist title is "legend of the overfiend". The kid in question is Amano Jaku - though I'd hardly call him a kid.

A film which will put you off tentacles for life.

I could swear the tentacle squid thing which attacks Hot Rod in Transformers The Movie is a urotsukidoji thing reworked and with slightly less obvious tentacles. Those pincer things inside Unicron look a bit suspicious too.

suikoden
