(Adj.) The characteristics consistent with the original writing and intent of J.R.R. Tolkein and his works, such as literary Romanticism, poetic dialogue, and characters who believe in a greater good than themselves.
Aragorn: Rings of Power doesn't feel very Tolkein.
Arwen: Why? It's still about Middle-Earth.
Aragorn: Yes, but the heroes are depicted as virtuous solely because they believe in themselves, and the narrative seeks to blame humans for the evils of the Orcs. That's not Tolkein.

Tolkein Cock

Anything branded with the "Lord of the Rings" name for the sole purposes of making money off the hopeless nerd that will buy anything with "Lord of the Rings" on it and a price tag.

Made up exclusively by me.
Nerd: "Hey look at the new Return of the King game!"
Me: "Looks like just another box full of Tolkein Cock"

An absolute genius of a writer who created probably the most complex and complete fantasy world ever, 'Middle-earth', based on European mythology. Well known for Lord of the Rings, which has been made into a movie. He also created many languages.
Tolkien's Middle-earth is the ultimate fantasy. The world is amazing. His languages are beautiful. Worship it.

J.R.R. Tolkien 

John Ronald Reuel Tolkien. Acclaimed British author and philologist. Born 1892, died 1973, aged 81. As well as holding the position of Professor of Anglo-Saxon at Oxford University twice, Tolkien authored what many consider to be the greatest book of the 20th Century, 'The Lord of the Rings'. His next most famous work is 'The Hobbit' and he also published various other poems and short stories. 'The Silmarillion' was published posthumously (based on previously unpublished work) by Tolkien's third son Christopher, along with 'The Letters Of J.R.R. Tolkien' and various other books dealing with Tolkien's mythology.
Q: Who wrote the Lord Of The Rings?
A: J.R.R. Tolkien.

I don't think warned people against marraige, he himself was a married Catholic.

People who say he was racist are just wrong. He wanted to create a mythology for England, 'cos they didn't really have one of their own ( check the facts, King Aurthur is a Welsh legend before the English nick him, Tolkien would have been well aware of this). As such, It would have been fairly hard to create a black/Asian charachter to fit an ancient/ near medievel english myth.

Anyway, back to definition, he was a writer who created the second highest selling book ever ( the first being the Bible), and a very good book it is too, the only people who say it's boring, are the ones who never read past the bit with Tom Bombadil.

Pee Calculus

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing pee calculus.
