  Lord of the Rings is from 1968, and I read it in the 80’s.

  I still don’t get the reference.

    It’s a movie reference. Specifically it references “The Lord of the Rings: The return of the King” at the end of the battle of Minas Tirith. It is said by Gimli, as a response to Legolas slaying a Mumak (giant war elephant).

    I’m sorry i don’t have a timestamp.

      OK I looked it up, and that is indeed a LOTR reference.

      I just don’t get why people would make a reference out of anything as generic as that?
