  1. haha that's cute =)

    but it called 'maid ' as in maiden


  2. I think maid comes from "maiden", not a term for a servant/cleaner.

    I've always called them "mermen/merman", myself.

  3. FUNNY!!!!!!

    yet you might know it's a merman.. so, a STAR for that question..

  4. I think that it would be a merman! but I think it is all opinion.

  5. Mer-creatures are sexist.

    Only females work in their world

  6. I thought they were called merman.

  7. good point...

    i guess so.so it should be merwoman and merman...something to think about

  8. A maid has a meaning other than a housekeeper. It also means an unmarried woman, so I guess in that case a male would be called a merbachelor. :-)

  9. No because its short for "maiden" which is like a female

    so a guy is a merman :)

  10. EEEHHH No!! In Ancient Mythology the men are calle Mermen, females are mermaids because they were thought of as young maidens, and the guys were young men, Butlers!!! DUH!!

  11. 'maid ' as in maiden

    merman.

    but I like your thinking ;)

  12. No, neither one is politically correct.  They both should be called merservants.

  13. HAHAHAHAHA

    an entertaining thought

    but common sense is a rare thing

  14. HAHAHAHAHAHAH :]

    this honestly made my day, stupid as that sounds.

    so thanks.

    & i thought they were called a merman but you know i could be wrong!  

  15. Merman, just like milkmaid/milkman.

  16. Thank you, you took a bit of insanity and made me laugh. A star for you.

  17. HAHAHA!!! thats good! ok really though you do know its mer-man right lol

  18. HAHAHA that does make sense but male mermaid are actually called a merman!!!

    haha but i like your way better!!!

  19. Since "maid" is short for "maiden" and there's no exact male equivalent, the male is called a merman.  (But clever!)

  20. Good point but no the proper name is Merman as mentioned many times above, and they are as real as you and me, they just live in another Astral Plain to us, that's why we don't see them often...

    In Light... )O(  

  21. female is a mer-maid  male is a mer- butler
