It's a Valinor expression.

Well, I'm from Alqualondë and I've never heard anyone use the phrase "Foe-Hammer"

[-] mormund@feddit.org 27 points 4 months ago

When orcs look like nails, everything is a hammer - ancient Khuzdul proverb

[-] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 14 points 4 months ago

Really? Well, I'm from Bundushathûr and grew up speaking Khuzdul and I've never heard anyone use the phrase 'Zigilul, kulul baraz.'.

[-] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 20 points 4 months ago

"Hammer" verb, not "hammer" noun.

[-] Cort@lemmy.world 12 points 4 months ago

So it turns foes into ham?

[-] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

It will make them more like ham than not.

[-] brown567@sh.itjust.works 11 points 4 months ago

Turns foes into hams, no need to get so steamed

[-] crunchy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 4 months ago

It's a regional dialect.

[-] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 8 points 4 months ago

In Sindarin your sword is known as “Front toward enemy”.

[-] synae@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 4 months ago

That's funny, in Quenya mine is called "front toward kin"

[-] Cethin@lemmy.zip 4 points 4 months ago

Mordhau grip. Swords can be hammers too.

Is this in the book? I don't remember that at least...

[-] RedStamp@piefed.social 19 points 4 months ago

This is in the hobbit. Gandalf and crew find Glamdring, Orcrist, and Sting in the troll hoard, and Elrond tells them the names of the blades. Sting was named by Bilbo since the knife didn't have an elvish name

[-] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 4 points 4 months ago

Bilbo was a huge fan of The Police.

[-] rustydomino@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

A little known fact is that Bilbo named his mithril coat Stuart and his ring Andy.

[-] Valmond@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

I remember them finding the swords (& dagger 😁) but not the rest.

[-] Valmond@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Thanks! Totally forgot about that detail.

No

[-] Alloi@lemmy.world 12 points 4 months ago

even in fantasy, we respect FACTS.

[-] chuckleslord@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

Tolkien heads take that shit seriously. Be glad 'twas only I! A Brando Sando fan

[-] HornedMeatBeast@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

No jokes allowed :(

[-] chuckleslord@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

Sorry for shutting down your joke. In my defense, autism. Also, also, was also a joke on my part.

... also also also, DON'T MESS WITH TOLKIEN!

(That's also a joke)

[-] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

That sword was a magnificent bastard!

(It's also the name of the Lord of the Rings Online server I'm on)
