A group of people out to get something, usually fucking up a person with their fists and or anything they pick up off the ground.

This may be due to the victim eyeing the mercs' girlfriends, or giving any of the mercs a bad look, or there may be no explanation to fuck a person up.
Those mercs fucked you up man. Next time don't tell their girlfriends that you want to fuck them sideways twice in an hour.

My mercs fucked you up, nigga.

The Mercs 

A semi-famous gaming clan that has played multiple MMOs (such as UO and Darkfall Online). They are a bunch of power gamer scrubs who will power grind their characters to the max, dominate everyone else with said characters, then proceed to claim victory and quit the game before everyone else has a chance to catch up. They suck in FPS games in which character development is not a factor, and will continue to bare the biggest undeserved egos in the history of gaming clans. If you encounter a merc outside of an MMO, rest assured that you can, and you will, shit on him.
Osium from The Mercs is a scrubby douchebag, but when you challenge him to a fight he redirects you to his peons to fight for him. He does all the shit talking though.
