ORIGINAL: juliaoceania Oh you will love this one if you all have not heard of it merkin "female pudenda," 1535, apparently a variant of malkin (q.v.) in its sense of "mop." Meaning "artificial vagina or 'counterfeit hair for a woman's privy parts' " is attested from 1617. According to "The Oxford Companion to the Body," the custom of wearing merkins dates from c.1450, was associated with prostitutes, and was to disguise either pubic hair shaved off to exterminate body lice or evidence of venereal disease. I forgot to include it in a sentence.. silly me She never left the house without her merkin because it could lead to embarassment if a wind blew her skirt up and exposed her baldness. Oh, I nearly forgot, merkin is not to be confused with the way some Bush supporters say I'm proud to be an 'Merikan.
