An extremely stupid (and somehow not illegal) play on the stock market by an institutional investor which results in billions of dollars of damage to the company who made the play. Typically due to extreme greed such as shorting stock by over %100 in the hopes of buying it back after it drops to zero dollars.

In the years leading up to 2022, Melvin Capital made bets against key stocks within the USA stock market, after retail investors noticed inconsistencies with the stock, specifically the huge short position that Hedge Funds (including Melvin Capital) had accrued. Retail traders realized that these positions would at some stage need to be bought back so they independently decided to buy up the stock.
Melvin Capital essentially went bankrupt due to some very poor decision making and lack of proper risk management.
The phrase "you did a melvin" was coined in 2022 to indicate that your lost money, or made bad decisions which affected you negatively.

A nerdy but wholesome person. Complete opposite of the word chad. Melvins often wear glasses and are bad at talking to girls. Despite this though they are often kind to most people and highly respect women. A Melvin is very similar to a Nermal but lacks the condescending and incel like qualities a Nermal has.
Girl 1: Hey Tiffany why don’t you ask to the Sadie Hawkins Dance?
Girl 2: I don’t know Heather Ken is a bit of a “melvin”
Girl 1: That might be true but I bet he’ll treat you better than any of those chads you are always going for.
