(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"

Tolkien, J.R.R. 

British professor, writer and linguist who devoted half of his life to the creation and intricate development of the most beloved fantasy world of all time: Middle-Earth. Considered a genius by fans and intellectuals the world over, he is responsible for the invention of over 10 languages, multiple races, and an entire history for his timeless tales to take place in. The most famous of his stories are, of course, The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. He died in 1973.
J.R.R Tolkien was the greatest writer who ever lived.
Tolkien, J.R.R. by goldberry September 7, 2005
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 'The Silmarillion' was published posthumously (based on previously unpublished work) by Tolkien's third son Christopher, along with 'The Letters Of J.R.R. Tolkien' and various other books dealing with Tolkien's mythology.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.
J.R.R. Tolkien by Eldarion November 12, 2004
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.

2. Billy hate drafted Peyton Manning because he was the only good quarterback left and he knew Sam had been planning on drafting him.

Utility beer 

Utility beer is the beer you keep around for the day-to-day moments when beer is a necessity to assist in pedestrian activities (golf, plumbing, yardwork, babysitting, staff meetings, Zoom calls). For the beer snob it is the beer you save for neighbors when they drop in at 3 p.m. on a Tuesday. It is differentiated from the actual high-end beer you save for special events, holidays, and special tastings.
Person 1: Dave, did you bring along those hazy craft IPA's so we could drink while cleaning Lyle's pool?
Person 2: Nope. I just have a bunch of utility beer that Steve dumped on me. Good enough for this. It is only 10:30 a.m.
