Thranduil on a Moose

A PPC curse similar to "Flaming Denethor!" However, while "Flaming Denethor" is typically used as an exclamation of dismay, "Thranduil on a moose" is more of an expression of exasperation, equivalent to "for crying out loud!"

The term was coined by Neshomeh in a journal post on deviantART. It refers to the decision to put Thranduil on a large antlered beast during the prologue of Peter Jackson's film adaptation of The Hobbit. This was regarded as odd by fans of the books.

Though it has since been pointed out that the beast may actually be inspired by an Irish elk, "Thranduil on an elk" just doesn't have the same ring to it, so it never caught on. Bonus: it turns out the beast was played by a horse named Moose.
