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.”

Cultural Notes:
Melvin represents how Bunglish humorously adapts serious gameplay elements into its absurd lexicon. It stands out because it refers to a useful, positive item rather than an insult, balancing the dialect’s mix of mocking and camaraderie.

Bradley – weak/unskilled player.
Villain – enemy or disliked player.

When you meet him.. you just know..
You don't know why exactly you're so appealed by him, is it his mysterious vibes? His cheeky smile? His amazing 6-packs? His majestic butt?
Oh girl you will ask yourself so many questions but he worth it.
Oh also as you were wondering he is an absolute god in the bed so listen to your instincts, jump in, and get ready to some stellar nights

Melvin (also known as the chinese emperor Xi Ling) is revolutionary for the scientific world.
Melvin is the first neandertal reborn in modern time, this is made possible through his love for Billys pan pizza, which reincarnated him in 2008.
He has a total of 2 braincells that are both fighting for third place. Both his chromosones and height in centimeters are 176.
His name was declared in 2009 as another word for autism.
Melvin has a history of anger issues related to the popular game For Honor. Symptoms of Melvin being close to the game can cause him to scream racial slurs, brutally molest his microphone and destroy keyboards.
To prevent these agrevating symptoms he needs to have a parental figure within 10 meters of him at all times, and making him play at night has proven him to calm down.
His haircut (a buzzcut) has granted him access to engage in conversations with monkeys such as chimpanzees, orangutangs and the infamous Herr Nillson.
We suspect that he was raised by monkeys in his youth, which causes this abnormal behaviour.
Last but not least, his monkey based raising causes him to grow hair like a true chimp. He startet the rumors of bigfoot when he was skating and trying to do a macaroni tripple mcflurry flip with a backslick.
