Just saw the latest episode of Family Guy. At one point Quagmire daydreams about a maid, and in the daydream (which parody's the LOTR movies/books) he and the made court each other in the language of the Elves. When the girl speaks, the subs say she is quoting the speach given by Arwen when she declares her love to Aragorn. When Quagmire replies, he says some long statement, which the subs simply translate as "Giggity." I wanna know what, if anything, Quagmire actually said. I need a (major) geek to translate!

Maybe I'm not the best qualified, but I suspect he was just spouting a ginormous string of gibberish which pretty much equated "giggity". Sometimes really long dialogues boil down to very few or even a single word when translated between languages. But I think he was just spouting gibberish. I did see a clip of that, and that's what I got out of it anyway.

Hmm Too bad we couldn't get the script for that episode as it's easy to translate the written Tolkein Elvish. Grab a clip of the video or the script and post it here [img]smile.gif[/img] I'm sure I can dig up the answer or turn it over to the tolkien freaks I left in California

"Giggity" means:
"you have too much time on thy hands"
