It's a term of welcome for people in the land of the fish. That's Hamburg, Bremen, and various other parts of Schleswig Holstein, and Niedersachsen.
See! Totally random. No-one listens to me. Nicht wahr?
I bet he's really embarrassed by that moonie. We were merely engaging in linguistic banter and... look what happened! 
Still half way through the 111th segment.
I suspect I was set up by Judith. Stiched up like a kipper.
Stitched in fact, damn this phone.

Your previous comment had more credible Germanic tones though! 
I have to admit that I have never Tolkeined.

The only stuffs I know about JRRRRR Tolkien are the bits I've heard in early Led Zeppelin gramophone records.

We first meet Gollum in THE HOBBIT and then again in THE LORD OF THE RINGS.
Mordor and 'The Evil One' only feature in THE LORD OF THE RINGS.
I first read The Hobbit in second year at High School (it was our set reader that year.) Took the book home and read it all that evening before going to bed.
I read Lord of The Rings the following year - it took a bit longer though. 
Flying visit
