Mate's wife's sister
I was down south (well, Birmingham, but its south from Nottingham...ish) helping my friend and his fiancée move house.

We were sat out in the garden with his fiancées sister who was rather proud of her new coat, specifically a "Gilet"

We decided that we would have no idea what one was and ask her to get it out to show us.

On her producing this sleeveless garment, we (me and my best mate) told her that they weren't called Gilets up in Leeds (where we went to Uni) and that a more common name was a "Merkin".

Queue much hilarity as she told the majority of her friends that she was going to be sporting her new Merkin into town later on.

Of course not all of them were aware that a merkin is a pubic wig. So the hilarity was doubled as they started stating that they were going to get a merkin as well!

Oh how we laughed. Didn't tell her the truth though.

Merkin
Brilliant! I am so childish, the word 'merkin' still makes me laugh as much now as it did 10 years ago.
