Gribble flange 

(grĭb′əl flănj)

n.

A Gribble flange is actually the device that causes electronic and mechanical devices to fail just a few weeks after warranty expires. Accurately tunable to suit different warranty periods. Perfected by Apple to require only a new improved OS every six months or so.

Formerly seen as a money grabbing device to benefit the manufacturer, now seen by Gen Y as no more than a friendly reminder that whatever the device is, it's about time we had a new one. In a different colour.

Ted: 'Where's your new iThingy?'

Bill: 'The Gribble Flange kicked in early - it's in the shop for repairs. Hope they forget to reset the timer chip.'

Gribble Filter 

(grĭb′əl fɪltə)

See Gribble flange

n.

A particulate filter is a device composed of fibrous materials which removes solid particulates such as dust, pollen, mould, and bacteria from the air. This type of filter is used in applications where air quality is important, notably in building ventilation systems and in engines.

A Gribble filter is such a device, but designed or positioned specifically by the manufacturer in a location that causes the maximum amount of dirt to accumulate in the filter, causing the Gribble flange effect to kick in: A correctly located filter may require renewal every 24 to 36 months. A Gribble Filter gets dirty in weeks, and is usually so well hidden or difficult to replace that the user continues to breathe in filthy unfiltered air so that they don't have to pay a technician to find and replace the costly Gribble element.

Formerly seen as a money grabbing device to benefit the manufacturer, now seen by Gen Y as no more than a friendly reminder that whatever the device is filtering, it's about time we had a new one. With a snazzy corporate logo on it. In a different colour.

Ted: 'What's that filthy thing in your hand ?'

Bill: 'The Gribble filter from my car. It failed early as anticipated, and the car is now in the shop for repairs. Hope they forget to reset the Gribble Flange timer chip.'

Dale Gribble

The paranoid and really funny guy on King of the Hill. Dale's wife Nancy cheated on him and had a kid (Joseph) with John Redcorn, who is an Indian American and Dale believes that because Joseph is so tan and dark that his great grandmother was Italian, and in one episode that "aliens" impregnated Nancy. Dale does not sign his real name on anything he signs, he uses the name Rusty Shackelford, which he also has the birth certificate of. Records all of his phone calls, has metal cage doors (like in malls) to roll down over his windows and doors. Has his fake little security company "Dale-Tec" that doesn't do anything except give you a bunch of free Dale-Tec balloons when you sign up. Also he writes his own local newspaper called "The Gribble Times" that covers news and events in the alley. Believes that the CIA and FBI are bad. Has theories and conspiracies on just about anything that happens or anything that anyone says.

Clank noises are heard when Hank's truck is broke, the noises are clearly coming from the truck
Dale Gribble: Must be those stealth helicopters, they still have some clanks to work out.

Dale: You don't know who I am but I know where you live......
