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?????

Ent 

Tree-creature in Lord of the Rings. Ents are tall, slow and patient creatures which live in the forest of Fangorn and exist to protect the trees from harm. Related to Entwife. Make for very cool special effects in films, especially when it comes to trashing Isengard.

That tree's got a face - it looks just like an ent.

You need the patience of an ent to put up with this degree course.

Tony Blair's revived the road building programme! I hope an ent squashes him.

deterritorialisation 

process of undermining the repressive arrangement of flows of desire into fixed units centred around regimes of sameness and place. A necessary characteristic of lines of flight.

If you don't believe me, read some Deleuze.

oom 

An old word which means your spectrum hobbit or lord of the rings adventure has fucking crashed again

You go east. You are in the dark stuffy passage. You can see Thorin. Thorin is carrying: the small curious key. The vicious goblin enters. Thorin strikes the vicious goblin. With one well-placed blow Thorin OOM

pudu

means the same as shit, except you can put it in a film and still get a "U" certificate (i.e. Star Wars Phantom Menace). In the ROTJ Jabba scene, it's translated as "fodder", but this doesn't explain why Sebulba sez it when he crashes his racing pod.

what a load of bantha pudu

you used to be a good smuggler, but now you're bantha pudu

everything Tony Blair says is complete pudu

Jerkface Jedge

Jerkface Jedge is a total wanker

frell 

swear-word invented for use in the Farscape series - usually as an adjective, "frelling".

I can't get the frelling spaceship to take off cos there's a frelling alien glued to the frelling ignition pipeline and because of this the frelling engine room is a total pile of frell.
