Melvin (Bunglish)
Bunglish Slang
Definition:
Melvin is a Bunglish slang term referring to the Erdleaf flower in Elden Ring, a key crafting ingredient used to create "Melvin Potions." These potions allow players to summon other players into their world for cooperative play. The term “Melvin” adds a casual, humorous flavor to otherwise straightforward in-game items and mechanics.
Origins:
The term emerged from Bunglish communities around 2023–2024, as players adapted official Elden Ring terminology into the dialect’s playful and irreverent style. Erdleaf flowers became “Melvins,” and the potions crafted from them took the same nickname, emphasizing Bunglish’s tendency to give formal game items humorous slang names.
Usage:
Refers both to the raw crafting material (Erdleaf flower) and to the consumable summoning potions.
Commonly used in cooperative play contexts when requesting or discussing multiplayer assistance.
Often paired with other Bunglish terms for humor: “Grab some Melvins before you go fight that Smelvin.”
