(n.) A small, limited yet genuine romantic attraction that is stronger than romantic interest but doesn't develop into a full crush. An emble is a stable, limited feeling. It might persist at that level for years or fade, but it doesn't inherently progress into stronger romantic feelings. Basically, a “half-crush”, but not necessarily a crush that's still developing.

Pronounced /ˈɛm.bl/, or "EM-bl". (like "ember", but replace the "ber" with "bl")(which is where the word comes from: "ember" -> "emble")
"I don't have a crush on her, it's just an emble. I've had it for years."

Fire Emblem

A series of tactical role-playing games (TRPG) developed by Intelligent Systems. Having been released only in Japan, the series achieved minimal popularity if any at all outside the country where it originated. However, due to the release of the Fire Emblem characters Marth (Fire Emblem 1) and Roy (Fire Emblem 6) with the game Super Smash Bros. Melee, the series experienced surprising demand from the USA and Europe. As a result, Fire Emblem 7: Rekka no Ken was released in the United States as a GBA title simply named Fire Emblem. As of the writing, this release has been followed up by Fire Emblem 8: Seima no Kouseki. It is well known for the unique feature that characters who die remain dead for the entire adventure and cannot possibly be revived (with some rare exceptions in earlier games).
No, fools. Marth and Roy are not in the next game. Shut up.

Word of the Day on October 4, 2026
British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.
