Well that wasn't his original surname. It was actually Goatsbleur but you get caught frenching one worm and you never live it down.

[-] rustydomino@lemmy.world 28 points 1 year ago

I mean, bleuring goats doesn’t sound much better. Idk

His name was just Gríma, nicknamed worm tongue by those who saw him for what he was

[-] Donut@leminal.space 25 points 1 year ago

I don't think he'd put the nickname that his enemies use for him on his CV.

At least, that's how I interpreted the name. Similar to the Dung Eater in Elden Ring

Tbf Theoden wasn't exactly himself so he might not remember...

Wasn't that only after Grima's influence?

Wow wow wow, talk about prejudicial profiling. This is why HR wants to remove names from applications completely!

As if Grima Wormtongue's role wasn't HR

Grima doesn't want others to suffer the same discrimination he went through!

He wants them to all be treated equally. As slaves to his dark master.

I watch the extended editions every year and one thing that still confuses me is how at the start of the Two Towers Theoden has two Simon Peggs, and one of them gets savaged by a Warg on the way to Helm’s Deep; by this point in the battle he seems to have both Simon Peggs again.

Never trust a man with shaven eyebrows.

Ooh, I never noticed that? No wonder GW looks like he's all eyes and sneer.

[-] TheReturnOfPEB@reddthat.com 4 points 1 year ago

What's great is this lesson can be taught to the world as "people with funny sounding names shouldn't be hired" which wow in that context sounds racist.

It was partially Theoden's fault for not having more sons as backup heirs! :::drops mic::::
