If Celeborn had been anything like Prince Philip. he would probably have ended up calling Gimli "beardie" or "bignose" or some such thing and setting back Elf/Dwarf relations no end. Not the most diplomatic when it comes to different cultures, our Phil.

Yaas, yass, [b]SpM[b], I do recall Phil praising a tall, elegant creature for breeding "height" into the Windsors, but castigating her otherwise. Yet I do beg to point out that my examples all referred to physical traits, not behaviour. I have always been an admirer of Michael Caine, who claimed that he imitated Mountbatten's walk for his character in his first movie,
Zulu. That image has stuck with me.

Oh grandma, what big breaths you have.
