1. what is a merkin? n/t

2. re:What is a merkin

A merkin is a pubic wig.

[Tredge]

3. A simple implement really...

...it's a toupee for the pubic region.

I don't think they exist, but it's one of those sorts of things that still needs a word for it. Sort of like "felching."

[Tredge]

4. Hold your horses...

...and no I won't say what felching is.

[Fight_n_back]

5. They exist

currently for cancer patients mostly.

[Tredge]

7. I'll be damned

That didn't occur to me at all. I can't say it makes sense right away but after it all there's some things I guess I'm innocent to.

8. Chemo

makes all their hair fall out

12. It grows back, and every cancer patient I know could care less,

about their pubic region hair and I know a lot of Cancer Patients BTW. Most barely have the energy to do basic tasks, let alone cruise the singles bars for hot dates.

13. Yeah

Merkins have been around for a long time, in the olden days it was because people would shave for hygeien.

When the wig guy comes around with the catalog, they have merkins in there. So says a freind of mine who went through chemo. He didn't get one either but he did still try and get laid.

6. Did you rinse and repeat?

[Fight_n_back]

9. I was wearing it at the time

so I had to rinse and repeat for about twelve minutes.

[MinnFats]

10. careful....if you do that too much...

....you'll go blind.

of course, your response would be (with apologies to some old joke-writer): "Couldn't I just wash it until I need glasses?"

11. In "Dr. Strangelove," one of Peter Sellers' characters is named...

Merkin Muffley, who is none other than the president of the United States.

An apropos name, no?
