A heavy drinker, esp. a habitual one. A witty person who holds down the bar til the break of dawn; rarely leaves their post. Mermen enjoy the celebration of beverages and spitting game to random girls. Pertaining to one who buys rounds of grape bombs for all those around them.
"Merman was on point last night...he was buying grape bombs and pouring them down girls throats!"

"I can't go to the bar because I'm broke and I have zero game....Fuck that, Merman will take care of you!"

1. A creature that is half-fish, half-man
2. A kind of dressing that can only be described as "table"
3. An old white guy who screams in little kids' faces about cereal box colors.
Did you see that guy? He was such a merman because he was half-fish, half-man.

Dude, look at that old white guy. I think he's screaming at some kids about cereal.

A man who has his hair (and/or beard) dyed any number of (or combination of) vibrant colors just like women have been doing.

Silver appears to be a dominant color. The trend started during the summer of 2015.
Look at all the colors in that merman's hair!

Merman Theory 

a theory that a man, no matter how unattractive he may seem at first, he will eventually look beautiful to you if you see him every day all day.

Based on the theory that sailors used to spend months at sea and started to slowly see manatees turn into mermen.
Alexa: omg Cody is kind of a badass.

Anya: Are you nuts?! He's no Khal Drogo or Jason Mamoa. It's probably just Merman Theory. You guys work every shift together at the hospital.
