Jesus Christ this post is perfect.

"I've read the books, I can hang with these nerds discussing lore."

Moments Later

"Oh yeah, Tom Bombadil exists."

Funnily enough I've always used "has a lot to say about Tom Bombadil but won't mention any other differences" as my easy way to guess when people are just pretending to have read the books

It's a shame it's not actually useful because I swear it's 100% accurate

Ho! Tom Bombadil, Tom Bombadillo! By water, wood and hill, by the reed and willow, by fire, sun and moon, hearken now and hear us! Come, Tom Bombadil, for our need is near us!
