MERMANAUT 

A Mermanaut is an explorer of the aquatic realm. This exploration may take the form of spiritual, physical, or mental exploration of the planets vast oceans, and the worlds, secrets, and treasures they contain.

The word is a compound of mere, mermaid/man, and naut.

Mere is the Old English word for sea. With the addition of “ma” (merma) both genders of mermaid and merman are represented. Finally, the term "naut" is from nautes (greek: ναύτης), meaning sailor.
Q: So...How come you are so into diving?

(ALSO: sailing, boating, kayaking...etc.)

A: Because I am a Mermanaut.

Merkantalism 

Merking everybody non-stop as they try to snake their way through traffic. Often used while playing Mario Kart as a policy towards the other racers. As they try to snake their way past you, you simply hit them with a shell, banana, bomb, or other item in order to merk them. When done correctly this will drop them back a few places as well as bring shame upon their racing reputation.
When Pat entered first place on his favorite course, Figure 8 Circuit, we all let out a chuckle as I said "Well look who's about to get merked by my blue shell." *I paused, waiting for my shell to hit Pat* "You can call that Merkantalism."
