Um... sassyfriend, you do realise you're replying to comments made over eight years ago?

Well, if you always purposely mix Tolkien into your everyday speech you can avoid such mistakes! Example, a waitress answers a simple question:

'Yes we have bread: white and wheat'

Well, that's what she meant to say, but mistakenly (and embarrassingly) this comes out as: 'We have cram and lembas, and the latter comes in a mallorn leaf from the Naith of Lorien'

Simply start with introducing yourself as one of the Yavannildi and any such embarrassment will be avoided. Just think it through beforehand; just in case.

I need to remember this the next time telemarketers harass me.
