What did Gimli Say?
In the extended version of FOTR Gimli says something in Dwarvish that must have been so profane and vulgar that they didn't even subtitle it 
I want to know what he said. Anyone out there speak dwarvish?

DOH!!! I knew I was going to forget to add that part
It was when they met Galadrel in Lothlorien. The elf guys says "We have not had dealings with the Dwarves since the Dark Days" and Gimli says "And do you know what I have to say about that?........dwarvish dwarvish dwarvish dwarvish"

Well, in dwarvish, he says this "Ishkhaqwi ai durugnul."
putting that into a google search only comes up with about 16 results and all are inconclusive although this one (http://www.dcs.ed.ac.uk/misc/local/T...or/058nn/05892) attempts to analyze it by breaking down it's parts. good luck

Another translation said:
"I gotta tell you guys about my cousin "Grumpy" and his "Six Homeboys". Man oh man! They're all bangin' this Hot Goth Skank who's their housekeeper called Snow White....".
it loses some in the translation....
