On: How to type “blimpy” in Emacs [video]

I had to look it up myself and I'm guessing it's this blimpy[0].

But I haven't watched to video to confirm. YMMV.

There’s nothing to answer.

No, I think the word was just chosen because it sounds kind of funny. The crux of the video is making fun of how simultaneously annoyingly fidgety and powerful emacs packages can be.
