I was curious about the in-universe etymology of their names:

Boro-: Derived from the Sindarin word boron, meaning "steadfast", "trusty man", or "faithful vassal".

Fara-: Derived from the Elvish root far-, meaning "sufficent" or adequate".

-mir: Derived from the Quenya word mírë (or Sindarin mîr), meaning "jewel", "precious thing", or "treasure"

Ouch.

“Father, I got a hole in one.”

“Boromir would have gotten two.”

We should make an army of these.

“Boromir’s template would have been in HD.”

Boromir would know how to spell Faramir

I knew there was something unfamiliar...

Will change it and thanks.

What a disappointment that boy turned out to be.

I do not want the responsibility of being a mod, but we should call the community of boromir memes "Disappointed Fathers"

Oh Walter... What about Peter?
