Dwarf/midget throwing/tossing

[Theseus]

What would this be in Greek?
Dwarf tossing is a bar attraction in which dwarfs wearing special padded clothing or Velcro costumes are thrown onto mattresses or at Velcro-coated walls. Participants compete to throw the dwarf the farthest. The term "dwarf throwing" is sometimes used. Though banned in several countries, it is not, I think, illegal in French bars and it is apparently very popular in New Zealand pubs. In The Lord of the Rings film trilogy at the broken bridge in the Mines of Moria, Gimli tells Aragorn, "Nobody tosses a dwarf!" The director's commentary goes on to say that the writing team did not realize that dwarf tossing is not as common in the United States and other regions as it is in New Zealand. Nothing like it appears in the actual book of Lord of the Rings.

You mean, political correctness (let alone humanism) hasn't reached New Zealand yet?

 

[Cadmian]

It's a strange world.

The most simple translation would be ρίψη νάνων.

 

[drsiebenmal]

Νανοβολία (κατά τα σφαιρο/σφυρο/δισκο/λιθοβολία).

 

[cougr]

Εδώ το λέμε πέταγμα των νάνων.

Do they also fly there, then? ;)
Can't blame them, though; they might as well resort to migration to avoid such a cruel derogation. :angry: :curse:

Then the dwarf saith, vengeance is mine...

Συγγνώμη, αυτά όλα τα λέμε σοβαρά; :scared:
Μέρες που είναι, έχω χάσει λίγο το μπούσουλα, να σκεφτείτε ούτε το μέγεθος της έκτακτης εισφοράς σε εισόδημα/επιτήδευμα/σπίτι, συνειδητοποίησα αρχικά...

 

[SBE]

Έλσα μου, μέχρι και μέλη της βασιλικής οικογένειας της Αγγλίας παρακολουθούν το σπορ.

 

[nickel]

Τώρα που όλη η Ευρώπη μάς έχει στα ... όπα όπα, γιατί εμένα μου φαίνεται σαν να παρακολουθώ αγώνα νανοβολίας;

 

[pontios]

..και άμα πετάμε τους δίσκους της Νάνας .. Ναναβολία η δισκοβολία ;

Come to think of it, I imagine that they do go flying through the air.

The whole concept disgusts me too daeman, but you'd be surprised that some of it's most ardent advocates are dwarfs themselves.

Nobody tosses a dwarf! (1':10")

Toss me... Don't tell the elf.
