Anyway, Merkin isn't a dialect word, like Boilers seems to be, it's just a contraction of American. More like Brit, really...
Anyway, I agree with everything you said about guns. Just one question: Is Dequibenzo your real name? (I like to know these things...)

Yeah, York is another word for brit, and I do think it comes from Yorkshiremen. Just like Yank comes from Yankee, which refers to Americans from the North during the civil war. It all gets blurried with time to mean more broad things. As for boiler, it refers to the generalization of english cooking just consisting of stuff that's been boiled until it's tasteless and grey, which I know for a fact is untrue, but there you have it anyway.
And, no, that's not my real name. It's the name of a character from a book I'm writing (long, LONG story about that, and nobody wants to hear it right now).
Oh, and, Jacob? Yeah, I admit, that was a little harsh of me. Sorry, I was up really late when I wrote it, and... well, you know how it goes. No hard feelings, I hope.
