hobbitses

Hobbitses is a playful or humorous plural of hobbit, the fictional small humanoid race created by J.R.R.

Tolkien.

The form mimics the speech pattern of Gollum, a character in Tolkien's works who uses nonstandard grammar and adds extra syllables: Nasty hobbitses stole it from us!

People use hobbitses to evoke Gollum's distinctive voice or to add whimsy when discussing Tolkien's world.
