Melvin

What you call someone that can't think for themselves and only cares about his own self. They often hit people for their own amusement and hurt other people, and apparently it's okay to do so if they're a Melvin. They're a bitch most of the time and whenever you stumble upon them you get the urge to beat the shit out of them, but it really isn't their fault since it's their personality to be a Melvin. They sound like a drunk cow trying to talk.

Melvining

When a man is challenged to a fight by another man, and starts crying and peeing their pants instead of fighting. Often they will also poop their pants.
Steve started Melvining the second that goof Big Rick challenged him to a fight.

Melvined

To make incredibly bad bets which you can't cover. To such a degree that it could fuck up everything in the known world.

As when Melvin Capital engaged in naked short selling causing historic losses and a global financial crisis in 2021.
Holy shit we just Melvined the whole fucking thing.

Melvin

Melvin is the sweetest boy ever but is commonly misjudged by girls who do not know him as well as they think. Girls will do anything to keep a Melvin. He doesn't like football that much but looooooooves video games. Melvin likes a peng girl, but one reason for that is the people he hangs out with because they are the 'roadman' type who make him think he has to be like that. He is likely to be part of a gang but not tell you that.
"who's that guy there?"
"Melvin."
"he's a nice one you know"

you did a melvin

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.
Jeez Kenny - you did a melvin on that trade huh?

Melvin

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.
Named for the company holding the short position during the 2021 GME Short Squeeze
GME is a company with no intrinsic value! They'll be bankrupt by the end of 2020! Let's Melvin it! What's the worst that could happen? Only a total retard would try to squeeze us here...
