    The joke: Barad-dûr was the stronghold of the villain, Sauron, in “The Lord of the Rings”.

    Slang over the past 20+ years has adjusted the term, “duh” into “durr”.

    All of Sauron’s minions should know where the stronghold is. Barad-dûrrrrr

    From the Urban Dictionary:

    durr: A word used to mock a lame insult, joke, or action. Most often used in sarcastic phrases. The word can be given more emphasis by stretching out the word (i.e. duuuurrrr).

    Durr, good one.

    noun) a dumb person or action

    (adj.) A way to describe a dumb person, action or idea

    He’s a durr.

    Wow, that was durr.

    That was the most durr thing I’ve ever done.

    The Act of being messed up. To do a stupid thing or action. Clueless and wasted… “We went to the party, and everybody there was like durr…”

    Having had the same reaction as many of the readers and then reading the comments to get some explanation, my only comment is that today’s cartoon has to be graded as unsuccessful. This series relies on a play on words to deliver a “quick” punch line for moment of entertainment and perhaps a little smile. Became a debate on one of most respected, as well as most analyzed literary works in history of th English language. Brevity definitely didn’t live up to it’s title today. Nice try but Hoping for less debate tomorrow.
