i would actually like to apologize for the mermal response to the word game. it was completely uncalled for. tragically, it shows the state of my brain cells on wednesday night (bonus days)...i had completely convinced myself that it was an actual word.
I thought it was really clever. What-- is it really nasty-connotation euhamism for snatch or something and, as usual, I'm th elast to figure it out???
--JJJ
It ain't anything...just fried braincells being forced to perform!
And yet I can picture it so well that the word mermalish has crept into my active vocabulary. I see a sleek-coated, low-to-the-ground kind of gargantuan vole with a somewhat rounder, but still pointy face and bad vision that spends much of it's time either curled up asleep in it's underground den or snuffling along the ground muttering to itself, nosing up ground fungi. It will be the sort of animal that collects random objects of interest like gum wrappers and kite string. If you are behaving in a mermalish fashion, you are being insular and short-sighted, but in a kind of endearing way.
