I thought that this thread was going to be something serious, I guess it could be but not in the way I expected.

I think it's probably a shortened name for mercantile. You know, like - "Arthur and I needed a new plow, so we headed to the 'merkin'"

Haha Fid... I think the question here is: What ho did you learn that from?
Now that you know, I figured you deserve one of your own. So I plucked a little chest hair, borrowed a little kindergarten paste and presto! Instant modesty :)

Yes, but only in the sense that both involve things that really should be soaked in vinegar for a long, long time before being handled :)
