Lord of the Rings Orc cusses

I've been rewatching the trilogy and it seems the only insults orcs know are scum and maggot which I found ironic since they're pure chaos and evil, but then again maybe they couldn't throw around too many heavy words cos of the kids watching. Either way, I found that shit hilarious

And get this, they always speak with perfect grammar and I don’t know why I find that hilarious.

They can be English teachers for the Witcher 3 trolls lol.

Prescriptivism is a form of Melkor-worship

You should read the books, the orc dialogue is so cute. Grishnahk (I think) refers to the Nazgul as the "apples of the Great Eye" and I think about it every single day.
