Unacceptable: "You look submissive and enslaveable."

Acceptable: "You look just like an elf."

Just to be clear, LOTR orcs were elves once as well ...

Thousands of years ago. The orcs that we see were at no point elves.

Pay attention to their wording.

Elven = Beautiful, wise, immortal

Elvish = Tiny, hideous, steals/eats children

I thought elvish meant someone who likes rock and roll music

The term "house elf" always implied to me that there were other, possibly different in appearance, elves of Harry Potter.
