Lindolirian has just left Hobbiton.
Tolkien

Yes, it did. Gandalf used it when describing the goblins of the Grey Mountains. he said something about "great hobgoblins and orcs of the worst description."

Also, when Tolkien was talking about the goblins chasing silently after the dwarves in the tunnels I think he said something like, "the huge orcs of the mountains went along at a great pace with their arms hanging down to the ground."

Sorry I don't have the exact quotes, but I lent my copy of the Hobbit to a friend, so I can't look them up.
