(grĭb′əl fɪltə)
See Gribble flange
n.
A particulate filter is a device composed of fibrous materials which removes solid particulates such as dust, pollen, mould, and bacteria from the air. This type of filter is used in applications where air quality is important, notably in building ventilation systems and in engines.
A Gribble filter is such a device, but designed or positioned specifically by the manufacturer in a location that causes the maximum amount of dirt to accumulate in the filter, causing the Gribble flange effect to kick in: A correctly located filter may require renewal every 24 to 36 months. A Gribble Filter gets dirty in weeks, and is usually so well hidden or difficult to replace that the user continues to breathe in filthy unfiltered air so that they don't have to pay a technician to find and replace the costly Gribble element.
Formerly seen as a money grabbing device to benefit the manufacturer, now seen by Gen Y as no more than a friendly reminder that whatever the device is filtering, it's about time we had a new one. With a snazzy corporate logo on it. In a different colour.

Ted: 'What's that filthy thing in your hand ?'
Bill: 'The Gribble filter from my car. It failed early as anticipated, and the car is now in the shop for repairs. Hope they forget to reset the Gribble Flange timer chip.'

Get the Gribble Filter mug.Sexual encounter in a public facility, involving 2 men. The catch is, that one man must deficate, while the other dips his tool in the excrement, & uses it as anal lubricant.
I went to the local YMCA for a swim, and afterwards, I couldn't shower because the stalls were so defiled from someone taking a filthy inmate a couple of minutes earlier.

Get the filt mug.The double-secret, government-mandated modification applied to all video/photographic equipment installed on vehicles capable of reaching an altitude above 40,000 feet, the upper limit of commercial aircraft; this, in an attempt to sustain the global 'spheroid earth conspiracy'.
Ok. If anyone actually contends that the earth is flat based on their fucked up religious doctrines, the opinions of some crack-pot pseudo-science bullshit or weak-ass arguments of incompetent YouTube fanatics...they're just wrong. Do some spherical geometry; construct a 'triangle' on a spherical surface and measure the sum of the angles. Greater than 180? Wonder what that means...stick the flat-earth filter up yer ass.

Get the Word Filter mug.We are all familiar with the underrated yet infamously potent insult, "filthy cunt". Any female who does not cringe upon receiving that succession of succinct wording is truly soulless which ironically happens to be the kind of thing that deserves such labeling. This particular upgrade places a special emphasis on the young lady's alarming rate of promiscuity. I hesitate to publish such a powerful insult publicly since I fear it will be overused. Do not release this gem from your arsenal unless the cumburping gutterslut really causes the last straw to break.
Jose Contreras: Today my girlfriend tried to apologize to me for getting double teamed by the Mexican yardworkers while their homies filmed it all.
Bruce Lee: That filthy mudcunt...
Jose Contreras: That's what I said! Unfortunately it didn't register as insulting to her since she has no soul to speak of.
