Scrimblo Bimblo, the lovable Scrunko 

Scrimblo Bimblo, the lovable Scrunko is a term for a lovable character thats talked about alot but no one knows this character besides its fans.
Is this the Scrimblo Bimblo, the lovable Scrunko of this community?

Scrimblo Bimblo 

Derived from "Scrimblo Bimblo, the lovable Scrunko" a term used to describe obscure, cartoon-like video game mascots. Now used as a general term for all mascots of this nature (e.g. Mario, Sonic, Pacman, Crash Bandicoot, etc).

The term has risen to prominence in the Super Smash Bros community, due to the abundance of fans calling for the inclusion of recognisable mascots such as Crash and Spyro. Some (not all) of these fans take issue with the inclusion of less recognisable JRPG characters, often labeled as "anime sword fighters", due to them being generally less recognisable to westerners, and having similar appearances and abilities, which some feel makes the roster stale.

In response, the section of the fanbase who support the inclusion of "anime sword fighters" (and other similar characters) will use the term Scrimblo Bimblo in a more negative light, criticizing those who propose the inclusion of said characters as blinded by nostalgia, biased towards well known characters, or simply lacking in video game knowledge.
Person A: I'm sick of all these characters I don't recognize in Smash. When will Nintendo listen to the fans and add Crash or Spyro to the game?

Person B: You're just a biased westerner, blinded by nostalgia. Typical Scrimblo Bimblo fanboy!

Scrimblo Bimblo, the Lovable Scrunko

Bob: "Hey man, did you see the new Smash Bros. reveal?"
John: "Yeah, they finally added Scrimblo Bimblo, the Lovable Scrunko!"
Bob: "Come on. Don't slander Banjo and Kazooie like that!"

The word 'flag' as pronounced by people with thick Belfast accents. The term is a perfect encapsulation of the disproportionate and overblown reaction to the removal of the Union Jack (as in 'de fleg') from above City Hall in Belfast. Where previously it had flown for 365 days per year, it is now flown on 17 designated days of the year - in line with many other British cities.

The event caused a portion of the Protestant community ('fleggers') to make international pricks of themselves as they proceeded to wreck the fucking place, claiming it was another erosion of a 'British' identity they perceive to have been under attack since the horrifying spectre of equality reared its head in Northern Ireland.

The word 'fleg' - and indeed 'fleggers' - fittingly describes a section of humanity unconcerned with knowledge, reality or the vagaries of the English language. Like America's tea-baggers they are ruled by instinct, fear and paranoia with a side dish of rampant bigotry and startling ignorance of the world around them.
"Wat de fuck like! The taigs got de fleg took down! Let's wreck de fuckin place! No surrender!"

"De fleg has been took down! Before ye know it there'll be a united Ireland! Attack Short Strand! God Save The Queen!"

To take something small, that doesn't quite qualify as a theft. Probably from the Danish "skæv" or the Dutch "scheef", both of which are pronounced similarly, meaning "askew, or not quite right'. To change an item's ownership without permission, but only something small and of little worth.
"I skeefed an apple off the neighbor's tree." "I skeefed some chips outta your bag when you looked away." "Don't skeef my chair when I go to the bathroom."
