"Turpide Rogue" is almost as big a hoot as "Briney the pirate". Sounds like Monty Python lampooning a Pink Panther movie. Maybe that's what the Old Lords were laughing about at the end of TPTP. I'd cringe and evanesce if I were Foul too.

There was a thread about this a couple of years ago.
Made some comments on this
new translation here.
"
Turpide le Rogue" is
indeed a quite flashy/in-your-face way of saying he was a rogue
turpitudinous Lord... just as "
Lord Foul" was a flashy/in-your-face way of saying he was... a foul Lord... this is quite consistent, although "
Maître Turpide" or "
Seigneur Turpide" might have been a bit better.
(LF:
"Hi, I'm Lord Foul."
TC:
"Forget it.")
