A Term coined by Carl Benjamin (AKA Sargon of Akkad), which describes a people or a group of people who tend to thrive off of dishonestly smearing a person's character, through deceptive or misleading interpretations of their actions or words. Often by taking something they said out of context, and representing it as something completely different .

Someone who at a moments notice can pull an excuse for just about anything out of their ass. This happens often when defending a sports team or the reasons someone is dating busted girl. Everyone knows the usual list of excuses and weather they say it or not they are all thinking "man what an excuse merchant".
Hey Joey, the NY Giants Suck this year.
Joey: "No they don't they would be undefeated if Eli didn't cut his face shaving in week 3"
Here we go again... What an excuse merchant.

a person who can create and execute mind blowing guitar riffs
originally said by the prince of darkness himself Ozzy Osbourne when talking about Tony Iommi in an 1980's interview
ozzy osbourne - "..whatever I've said about Tony Iommi in the past, was a lot of anger, a lot of bitterness on both parts, but I've got to be truthful to you, he was one of the greatest all time riff merchants, I mean, he came up with some classic heavy metal riffs"

Ricky Gervais' brilliant comedy partner. Responsible for co-writing 'The Office' and 'Extras'. Often, this man's name is misspelled (see Steven Merchant). Common elements of his comedy include (but are not limited to) a quick, quirky, but good natured wit and endearingly self-deprecating anecdotes about his 'trouble with the ladies'.
More fun factoids:
•He is 6' 7"
•Wears thick, black frame glasses.
•Appeared in Season 2 of the Office (episode 4) as Gareth's friend 'Oggy'.
•Plays Ricky Gervais' awkward agent in the show 'Extras'.
•Has recently acquired a modest following of female admirers.

Girl #1: Did you see that piece of ass who just passed us?
Girl #2: Yeah, he's alright. I mean, he's no Stephen Merchant or nothin'.
