What is schmeckle?

A schmeckle (also spelled shmeckle or shmekel) is a fictional currency unit featured prominently in the animated television series Rick and Morty.

  • Origin and Use: The schmeckle is introduced in the episode "Something Ricked This Way Comes" (Season 1, Episode 9). It is used as the currency in an interdimensional game show called "Liars Dice", where participants wager and earn schmeckles based on their ability to deceive others. The value of a schmeckle is left intentionally vague, adding to the absurdist humor of the show.

  • Cultural Impact: The term "schmeckle" has entered popular culture, often used humorously as a generic, fictional currency or unit of value. It's a common inside joke among Rick and Morty fans.

  • Symbolic Meaning: The schmeckle can be interpreted as a commentary on the arbitrary nature of money and value systems. Its undefined worth highlights how value is often socially constructed and can fluctuate wildly depending on context.

  • The origin of the word "Schmeckle" may be from Yiddish shmekl slang for penis.
