When does Belkar explicitly refer to himself as a "hobbit"?

At least now I can get back to enjoying my glass of elven wine in peace and quiet, without being called on to intervene in someone else's problems. Clang, clang, clang goes the trolley! Ring, ring, ring goes the bell! Git away from me, ye daft fool! *sigh*
I don't see how that's an appellation. I meant something that's specifically referred to as an appellation.
It's not *quite* an appellation but it comes pretty close. Appellation is definitely used as a wine term, when a wine (or spirit) can only be made in a specific place, in a specific way, or by a specific group. "Champagne" or "Bordeaux" or "Chartreuse", for instance. "Elven" is a little loosey-goosey, but you could make a case for it.
If you're looking for someone using the word "appellation" to refer to something in comic, I always thought it a bit ironic that it should be V who's especially concerned about gender-appropriate appellations...
Still curious about Belkar's self-descriptions, then...

Sorry, didn't know the wine thing. But 'sorceress' was the appellation I was looking for. And Belkar's self-description is here.
Find "a bluff".

But the crimes they hope to prevent in the future are imaginary. The ones they commit in the present--they are real." --Aral Vorkosigan
