A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

Banana Republic
Not just an outstanding store to supply the fashionable, it is the official store of the elf hunt. The clothes at this trendy yet pricey establishment provide a suitable bait to tempt the discriminating tastes of elves, as well as a good hunting garb for the elf hunters. There is one located near Rivendell and a newly established store located in the upper class section of Mirkwood.
Blue eyeshadow
A potent weapon, this outdated cosmetic is used as a threat and/or weapon against elves in sticky situations, as none of them would ever desire to wear such an atrocious shade. However, caution should be used in its employment, as it can be used against an elf hunter as easily as an elf, sending all concerned spiraling haplessly into 80's flashbacks.
Cardinal Rule
The oft-repeated and oft-ignored first rule of being a PEF or PEF-associate is "Never go off alone," or in the case of some, "Never wander off alone together." Ignoring this rule is a guaranteed recipe for disaster in the world of the hunt.
Chloroform bomb
A rather self-explanatory tool of the elf hunter, devised and distributed by our own dear scientist, Tinuvie. It can be used to knock out potential targets during the hunt with the unfortunate side effect of knocking out the elf hunters, as well, should they demonstrate the typical PEF lack of caution and sense.
Cleavage, The
With properties similar to The Force, this powerful tool of huntresses with lowcut necklines everywhere works only on the weak-minded, and is thus useful against all men.
Common sense cricket
A Jimney Cricket-style creature known to lurk in the heads of all those possessing of common sense. May be recognized as the little, oft ignored voice that advises one about the wisest and most sensible choices one might make.
DD
It means "Dastardly Duo," it is used to refer to Tadandader HalfElven and her frequent partner in crime, El luitha uren. The DD fancy themselves to be something like MIB, and thus carry around shades and lembas launchers. See also "HIP."
Deja spew
The feeling that somewhere, somehow, you've been puked on like this before. See Orli's experience with the lost babies of Laketown.
Drool cup
A handy device employed by elf hunters and pervy fanciers all over Middle Earth. It is a plastic cup that fits over the mouth to collect drool. This prevents messy puddles from forming during the ogling of good-looking Middle Earth inhabitants.
DT
"Double Trouble," the nickname for the Tinuviel-Nimrodel alliance formed in response to the DD. They often play pranks on the other huntresses and have matched mischief versus mayhem with the DD at least once. The outcome of said match is still largely controversial.
DWARF
The acronym for "Determined Women Against Resistance Front." This term, coined by Tadandader, describes the elf hunters who formed up to battle the ELF movement.
Earmuffs
A vital aid in blocking the entry or re-entry of evil common sense crickets. Once a cricket has turned, it is very important to have these on hand (color-coordinated with one's outfit, of course) to prevent a takeover of your mind by said cricket.
ELF
The acronym for "Elf Liberation Front." This movement was formed by the elves of Rivendell in response to the success of the elf hunters in capturing their kinsmen. They are led, for the most part, by Haldir, and attempt at various points during the story to try and take back the captive elves from the elf hunter camp.
Elf Hunt Revolution
Took place on the night of Tuesday the 25th of June and lasted until the wee hours of Wednesday the 26th. This great event in Hunt History involved the veteran huntresses, operating under the acronym of "ELVEN" and meeting to conspire at the Council of Galadriel in Lorien, returning to the TWC hunt for one last mission. The object: to remove remaining elves caught by the veterans for relocation to a place where there were more huntresses of an age for Tae bo. *Ahem* The mission was a success, causing Legolas, Orli, Boromir, Figwit, and a number of other elves to be liberated from Middle Earth and returned to the custody of the veteran huntresses.
Elf-whacker
a long, sturdy stick employed by elf hunters against their prey. A non-lethal device, it is used to render the subject unconscious and easy to transport back to camp. Is not effective when used against orcs, as their heads are harder.
ELVEN
An acronym that stands for "Elite Lady Veterans against Elven Neglect." This was the code name for the members of the Elf Hunt Revolution, which took place on the night of Tuesday the 25th of June and lasted until the wee hours of Wednesday the 26th. This group included the founding members of the Elf Hunt and a few long-time TORn associates.
Fixie Dust
This derivitive of Pixie Dust didn't have a documented use until EK decided to experiment with it. When eaten, Fixie Dust causes a person to glow yellow and float or fly. Tasting like almonds, this dust has come in handy during our adventures. It is not plentiful, but MM usually has some stashed away for contingencies. She is ever on the lookout for a better supply.
Hair dryer
This appliance is another tool of the knowledgeable elf hunter. When wielded at high temperatures, it can muss and/or spoil the appearance of elven hair. The mere threat of its use is enough to send most elves running, so it is mainly used as a deterrent to would-be ELF rescue parties and other enemy elves.
Happy Lizard Dance
The patented dance of Lizard219 when in a joyous or otherwise upbeat state. Luitha is also a master of the dance and the other huntresses have been well-versed in its complicated and bouncing steps. It is a complicated, ever-changing combination that can feature everything from a saucy square dance with a decided Southwestern flair to a backwards Macarena with a tango-like twist.
Harem outfits
These fashionably made Banana Republic outfits resemble the sort of costumes a belly dancer might wear and consist of sparkly bras and guazy skirts or pants. They are often used as a huntress disguise or as a means of distracting hostile parties.
Hershey's Kisses with Almonds
Nimrodel's secret weapon, an irresistable lure for manly-men and elves, alike.
HIP
"Hunters in Purple," another acronym applied to the DD in their more MIB-like incarnation.
Jello Jacuzzi
A new PEF (and two PMFs) party staple. It consists, quite simply, of a jacuzzi filled with strawberry or kiwi jello, depending on the tastes of the huntresses.
Lavendar Jelly
The sticky-making Tae bo tool of choice for MM's everywhere! This tasty treat is useful in Tae bo manuevers for those who aren't wild about the taste of Marshmallow Cream.
Leia bikini
This term refers to the infamous gold brassiere and matching peek-a-boo skirt worn by Princess Leia in Star Wars. What does this have to do with elf-hunting, you ask? Well, the hunt's own Nimrodel, Queen of Multi-tasking, was made to wear such a costume and sit, chained to a rock, during her captivity in Isengaard during the hunt's Mummy Adventure.
Lembas launcher
A special device employed by elf hunters that launches the lembas in a projectile fashion. It's a required article for a successful elf hunt and has been employed with especial skill by the likes of Tadandader HalfElven and El luitha uren. Most notably to be kept from the grasp of Aragorn, who is overly trigger happy.
Mallow Splatter
The marshmallow launcher invented by Saffron Piskie to help fight the enemies of PEFs (and our associate PMFs).
Mallow War Paint
Currently available in browns, greens, and blacks, this was invented by Mirkwood Mistress to help the girls of ELVEN in the revolution. The dark paint smeared on their faces helped camouflage them while they went sneaking into the new veteran's territory.
Marshmallow cream
Often mentioned in connection with Tae Bo, this favorite treat of elf fanciers is carried in jars and seems to hold worlds of appeal for males of all races. The actual USE of this substance during Tae Bo is as yet unrecorded in the annals of elf hunter history. However, imagination does tend to fill in a few blanks in this matter.
Medjai
The Medjai are guardians, mystical beings who work to protect the world from evil. Oded Fehr was such a one in The Mummy, and the huntresses' own Mirkwood Mistresses discovered that she, too, was a Medjai, sent to help the huntresses and gifted with a tattoo that tingled when there was trouble she needed to attend to.
metaphor
This "metaphor" is actually a euphemism for... er... male "pride." See also terms such as "broomstick," "light saber," and "horn of Gondor."
Mind Meld
After their adventures in the Labyrinth, the huntresses soon discovered they were able to communicate with one another mind-to-mind. This unity between the huntresses was dubbed "The Mind Meld."
Multi-tasking
This elf huntress art form involves the ability to handle Tae bo with more than one elf or manly man simultaneously. This skill was perfected by the huntress Nimrodel, who then taught it to the other eligible Tae bo instructors.
net-working
This special talent is employed by Nimrodel, who is endeavoring to teach it to the other elf huntresses. This practice involves using social skills to meet people who can help one get what one wants.
Operation ReConditon(O.R.C.) An organization linked with ELF and started by TessJ while in a state of emotional upset. This organizations goal is to recondition elves to hate anything associated with PEFs.
PEF
The acronym for "pervy elf-fancier," a name based on the writings of Cassandra Claire, author of the Very Secret Diaries. This term encompasses all those who find themselves in need of a drool cup whenever elven pictures are posted.
Pixie Dust
Used as a bait, this pretty, powdery substance attracts elves the same way a mirror would. While it holds the elfs attention, the skillful elf-huntress can lasso her new captive.
PHF
Yet another acronym drawn from the Very Secret Diaries, it stands for "pervy hobbit fancier." This is the term used to describe those who find themselves pining for short, hairy-footed men with generous appetites and kind dispositions.
PMF
The acronym for "pervy man fancier," also based on the Very Secret Diaries. This term applies to those who feel weak-kneed when looking at the manly mugs of Boromir, Aragorn, or Faramir.
Sellath
The Sindarin word for "sisters," it is also the name for the new veterans of the elf hunt, those who claimed the leadership of the hunt after ELVEN departed.
*snert*
The official huntress sound of mirth. It sounds vaguely like a snort, but implies greater amusement.
strawberry bubblebath
The most important bait in elf-hunting, it is the favorite scent of all elves and an irresistible lure. Keeping a supply on hand will also keep elven captives happy in between Tae Bo sessions.
SWAT team
Luitha's team for swatting those individuals who have gotten out of control in some way.
Tae bo
The polite euphemism coined by the pervy elf fanciers to describe certain physical activities performed in the privacy of one's tent after capturing a likely elf. Younger elf fanciers are not allowed to perform Tae Bo until they are certified, and must content themselves with brushing their captive's pretty hair.
walkie talkie
Communication device necessary for the coordination and success of elf hunter missions. It is important for a would-be elf hunter to pick up one when purchasing supplies in the interest of alerting her fellow hunters to danger, traps, or just for conversation when the hunt becomes scattered.
whipped cream
Yet another sweet topping useful in Tae bo. See also Lavendar Jelly and Marshmallow cream.
