Unacceptable: "You look submissive and enslaveable."

Acceptable: "You look just like an elf."

Just to be clear, LOTR orcs were elves once as well ...

You look like you were once an elf.

I do indeed. Thank you for noticing

Thousands of years ago. The orcs that we see were at no point elves.

Pay attention to their wording.

Elven = Beautiful, wise, immortal

Elvish = Tiny, hideous, steals/eats children

I thought elvish meant someone who likes rock and roll music

We lost a golden opportunity by never casting Sean Connery as Elvis.

The term "house elf" always implied to me that there were other, possibly different in appearance, elves of Harry Potter.
