'Sarcy' has been UK slang for sarcastic for as long as I can remember - maybe not used anywhere else, but pretty widespread here.
As for Nain, as thought maybe he had carried a message to someone sometime.... *look of wide-eyed innocence*  Or to put it another way, it's all I could think of....
Oh - would you prefer Nar car?

#1. Right 'sarcy' seems to be a slang abbreviation for sarcastic. and CREDIT DUE, although there is a slightly better rhyme.
BlackFox also brought up "sarky" (British informal for sarcastic, which would rhyme some better than "sarcy"?)
16. YES, "Nar car" is what I had in mind as he was the "messenger Dwarf" that carried the news of the murder of Thror (along with a small bag of worthless coins).
I kinda threw that one in at the last minute as I wasn't sure on the pronunciation? Nár has an acute accent over the 'a'.

Sarcy and sarky is one and the same thing, begging your pardon, Sir. Being slang, no one ever writes it down 'cos no-one ever has to - I don't know if there is an official spelling. I just put sarcy with a 'c' 'cos it's an abbreviation of sarcastic. BlackFox went for sarky with a 'k' either 'cos he knows something I don't (this is entirely likely!) or because it is a better representation of how it's pronounced. But both spellings represent the same word and we pronounce exactly like the 'sarc' in 'sarcastic' - with a hard 'c'.
*Phew* ... curls up inside darkened teapot....
