Crimbo | Christmas
Crimbo is a slang term for Christmas, originating in urban slang before becoming more widely used.
The OED cites the first printed usage to 1928 (see [1]). They credit John Lennon’s 1963 usage in a Beatles’ Fan Club Christmas single as the first recorded use of the variant form Crimble (see [2]).
The word also appeared in the title of a 2004 UK hit single, Proper Crimbo, performed by Leigh Francis with guest celebrities, in the guise of various Bo Selecta! characters.
Crimbo is also the name of the MMORPG Kingdom of Loathing’s version of Christmas.
