Does it mean anything?
Anyone got a good way of remembering it, a rhyme, a ditty?
As noone I know manages to remember the word for very long.
We've just been calling it Apo-thingybob.

It's easy.
It's the Apo' syllable from (Apo)calypse. The imagine you'd add a Chribba instead of the calypse. Now you have an ApoChribba. Now change the double B into a PH sound, kinda like F sound in Phat.
ApoChriPHa. You are now thinking in... phonetics?
And it means: That which has been hidden/forgotten. Apocryphal texts for one are manuscripts that are either lost or nobody can understand as the language they are written in are dead. Probably has a lot of other meanings as well that are easily conveyable with one ancient greek word but have no english counterparts. |

Apocrypha noun Greek for "Those having been hidden away" Usually refers to a series of religious books that were not included in the Bible
also means of questionable authorship or authority
I think it works
Frankly if CCP ever runs out of ideas, they can just steal player names
EvE: Culmenation has a nice ring to it not as good as EvE 2:The Wrath of Chribba but still pretty good |

Why not something cheerful? EVE-online: <3. Would have worked for any carebear based expansion.

They can always use EvE Online: Apocalypse Reign, and introduce the Jovian space as space we can go to.

Any of the Final Fantasy games should do…
…although the "phallus" part might only be symbolical in some cases — all the end bosses are emo ****s. |

Originally by: Tippia So, when do we get "EVE: Totalhelldeath"ā?
Posting to second "EVE: T÷tSlhelldeSth". Though doesn't exactly fit the "religious" scheme of names (Exodus, Revelations, Trinity) though there are other types of names in the history of EVE as well (Red Moon Rising, Blood, Quantum Rise). Though likely the T÷tSlhelldeSth should be reserved for Tech V.
Edit:

Saying it now, the expansion is centered around the Veldpoc (it's phat, 'cause it has expanders to hold all that Veld it can mine).

Dear CCP,
Please do not EVER entertain the notion of "adding Chribba" to any expansion, it would not end well... players would not have enough trit to sacrifice to enable all the new features, and that would make us sad.
Veld for the Veld god and all that, but we must prevent Chribba's ascension to mining deity status for as long as possible. Putting him in an expansion won't help

I think it'll mean more when the full scope of the expansion is known. I mean look at how many rising quantums were found in all the new features of Quantum Rise? CCP did an awesome job making sure any falling quantums ended up moving in an upwards motion before releasing that expansion. QA did a great job that time.
