I can't tell if this is a fact or parody song lyrics, but I'm reading it to the tune of an Aerosmith song

You're can't just say Jandalf on Lemmy and not expect denim robes!

Gil-galad was an elven-king;
Of him the harpers badly sing
For none can rightly say his name—
Jill misappropriates his fame

I'll save this meme as a jiff.

I laughed at the meme..my wife is like "what?"

I sighed and said are you sure you want me to explain it?

She was like, do you want to?

I'm like this has many layers. None of which are in a direction you care about.

"It's a comic where JRR Tolkien says "Gandalf" is actually pronounced "Jandalf", a reference to the dumb side of the gif/jif debate. Also someone in the comments posted a denim-clad Gandalf since denim versions of things are often called that thing but with a "J" at the start of the name."

You see though, I would have to explain the gif / jif debate. Then I would have to explain what a gif is

Then I would have to explain what a Gandalf is.

And the way I would have to explain what a Gandalf is, is to remind her of the character with a stick from the lego game where you had to get up to swap characters... But he is also from lord of the rings.

Then I have to explain what lotr is. And how it's different from Harry Potter.

And in the end she would say. "That's stupid"

"Gandalf" was a dwarf in Norse mythology. Tolkien didn't invent the name.

The word is pronounced "giraffeics"

[-] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 4 points 4 weeks ago

I believe it's pronounced gyrafs.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 3 points 4 weeks ago

Imagine if JK Rowling would do that last bit for us.

[-] Eh_I@lemmy.world 3 points 4 weeks ago

Actually, I think that was C.S. Lewis.

[-] JimVanDeventer@lemmy.world 4 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

It’s pronounced Ke$ha Louise.

[-] Flocklesscrow@lemmy.zip 2 points 4 weeks ago

It's pronounced NarNIA

[-] olafurp@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago

For the curious "Gandalf" is made up of two old norse words "gandr" meaning a walking stick or staff and "álfr" moaning an elf. The movies pronounce it correctly of course.

[-] spykee@lemmings.world 2 points 4 weeks ago

Aussies go fucking crazy & erect a statue honouring jrrt.

This stresses me so much.
