this phrase arose from the trending ermahgerd dialect. A group of college kids in their 20s who work at a pizza shop in Richmond, VA spoke the phrase "feel the moll" (in reference to the drug molly) in the ermahgerd dialect, coining the phrase, "ferl the merl." One can also say they are ferrlin' or "ferrlin' the merl" lieu of saying "rolling."
