'Merk' or to be 'merked' is a slang term which first surfaced in it's context of use, as a term used to describe someone being verbally insulted or 'made a fool of' by another individual in an over powering manor. Example: A person has unpolished shoes on at work. A colleague remarks of that person; "I'm surprised you can still stand considering your feet were clearly ran over on your way to work this morning". In a room of more than 2 people, a spectator would laugh at the person who has been made fool of with regards to the state of his/her shoes having been pointed out, and the one to have pointed it out to them, would have 'MERKED' them. Should more comments persist with regards to the condition of this individuals shoes, it would be classed as MERKAGE. This slang term and wording first surfaced in UK Secondary Schools in South East England (UK) in 2006.--B0bpaxt0n (talk) 00:40, 19 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Inappropriate for this article; firstly it is a dictionary definition, perhaps best suited to wiktionary. Secondly, as the formation date of the use is (from the text above) 2006, it may be too new a neologism to qualify for wiktionary. - TB (talk) 10:23, 19 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
