Yep, that's where we went wrong with the Merkins

Thank you so much, Auntie Mav. This particular expression has come to my attention rather more than I am accustomed to lately, and so I'm not just real pleased to see it dragged in once again. Without in the least intending to convey the site's slang meaning but still unable to resist the wordplay, I am signing off as
A Merican Woman.
