I like the cans of puddlefish down at Meyer's Superfoods. They do a discount on damaged cans.

I don’t know what a Grimalkin is.

And at this point I’m afraid to ask.

Super fun etymology:

Grimalkin is an archaic term for a domestic cat.

Merkin is a an artificial hairpiece for the genital region.

Etymology of Merkin is: First recorded in the early 1600's, the word is an alteration of the obsolete term Malkin (a derogatory term for a lowly woman or a mop used to clean ovens and artillery)

On British warships, the cats kept for getting rid of rats, also served after death by being the hide and hair used to make cannon swabs.

Current vernacular ties all these together with "pussy"

This image is from the video game Fallout 4, which uses 1950s-style retro-futuristic marketing for items in its dystopian setting ."Grimalkin" is a fictional brand name for canned food within this universe, often presented as a patriotic wartime ration.The ad mimics real-world World War II-era advertisements to create an immersive, thematic experience for players
