You Have My Pants?
Is this some kind of coded distress signal?
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.
Giles ,'Conversations with Dead People'
LotR - The Return of the King: "We named the *dog* 'Strider'".
Frodo: Please, what does it always mean, this... this "Aragorn"? Elrond: That's his name. Aragorn, son of Arathorn. Aragorn: I like "Strider." Elrond: We named the *dog* "Strider".
A discussion of Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King. If you're a pervy hobbit fancier, this is the place for you.

Those are embarrassing calls to have to make.
"Uh, Rokglog? I know I kinda beat it out of your abyss in a hurry this morning, but it looks like I left my leggings behind in the pleasure cavern, no pun intended. I might have misplaced a sword too. No, no, *that* sword worked just fine, heh heh. So when would be a good time ... An eternity? No, I understand. Thanks, anyway."
Enough to make a dude change his whole image and try to forget his name.

Isn't this what Gandalf gasped when he woke up after the fight with the balrog?

I think it's probably in the Hobbits-only viewing version.

"Mr. Frodo! We're going to see the elves! Give me back my pants!"

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

"You have my pants".
The real reason it took Legolas so long to show up there at Frodo's waking-up.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Oh, come on. Legolas wore long johns during the whole trilogy. We just never got close-up enough to see the waffle-weave.
Although, nobody will ever top "A shadow and a threat have been growing in my pants."
