Melvin

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.”
Examples:

“Better stock up on Melvins, I’m gonna need backup.”
“Throw a Melvin Potion if you want me to help with that boss.”
“Can’t believe that Smelvin blocked the path again — Melvins saved my run.”

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.

Related Terms:

Smelvin – Rune Bear enemy.

Bradley – weak/unskilled player.

Villain – enemy or disliked player.

No Rick – no skill.

Baaby – cowardly or childish player.
