'''SABABWL''' is an acronym for a quote by [[Martin O'Donnell]] back when the original Halo was about to be released. It stands for "'''shiny and bumpy and bursting with love!'''" This is a comical outlook on the Grunts' appearance, but not so much their behavior. Although [[Grunts]] do have a shiny and bumpy exoskeleton with a peculiar appearance, the "bursting with love" bit may not be so accurate, as most all of the Grunts in the [[Halo Trilogy]] try to kill the player, although the comment may be referring to the close relationship between [[Grunts]]. 

It might also just be a simple joke or exaggeration referring to their position as the comic relief and general popularity with the fans.

==Trivia==
*It appears in the form of an easter egg in [[Halo: Original Soundtrack]] and as a Morse Code that can be heard transmitted from the radio in the fort where the flag spawns on [[High Ground]].
