"Ya Sam Sapozhnik - Я Сам Сапожник - I Myself Am a Cobbler

This is used to describe someone who is completely out of his depth, but so clueless that he does not realize anything is amiss and even purports to be the real expert."

From here on in we are subject to the mysterious effect of Lothlórien Time Dilation. While the members of the Fellowship feel they've spent only a few days there, they will later realize they were there for almost a month.

Today in LoTR: the gang arrives in the City of the Trees, Caras Galadhon. They have an audience with Celeborn and Galadriel and tell them of Gandalf's fall. Galadriel silently tests each of them. Gimli has a crush. Boromir is suspicious and pries at Frodo.

no context good place

That same root also gives us Greek "-therm-" (heat, as in "thermal").

I just think it's funny that getting gored (like by an ox) results in gore, but the terms are unrelated.

Curiously, "gore" as in "blood & guts" comes from a totally different root word meaning mud/filth, originally derived from a root meaning "heat". One gets a mental image of steaming entrails, no?

This sense is closely related to "gore" as in "to pierce with a horn/spear", like "gored by an ox". Both are related to Old English "gar", meaning "spear"—a frequent element of Germanic names, e.g. Hrothgar, Edgar, & even Gerald.

Side note: the Naith is a wedge-shaped area of Lothlórien between the rivers Celebrant & Anduin. "Naith" in Sindarin means "gore", Tolkien tells us. This sense of "gore" means "pointed/triangular patch" (of fabric, land, etc.). https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/gore#Etymology_2 +

Another great line.

"The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark places; but still there is much that is fair, and though in all lands love is now mingled with grief, it grows perhaps the greater."

Today (for reals): Elves guide the Fellowship to Lothlórien. The Elves insist on Gimli being blindfolded (security theatre, if you ask me), so in solidarity all the Fellowship gets blindfolded.

There are like a gazillion logic books, manuscripts, from sub-Saharan West Africa that no modern-day scholars have even looked at!! What!!!
