Mereswine    (MER-swine)
Noun:
-A dolphin; a porpoise.

From Middle English mereswin (“porpoise, dolphin”), from Old English mereswīn (“porpoise, dolphin”), from Proto-Germanic *mariswīną (“dolphin, porpoise, cetacean”) from Proto-Germanic *mari (“sea”) + Proto-Germanic *swīną (“swine, pig”), equivalent to mer- + swine.
So, in short, it means “Sea Pig”.

Used in a sentence:
“The obscure legend of the camelopard and the mereswine is the most tragic love story I’ve ever heard outside of the Jerry Springer Show.”

After scaling a barbed wire fence, a 19-year-old Georgia man ran across the tarmac at Atlanta’s busy airport and pulled himself up onto the wing of a Delta jet and began pounding on the aircraft’s windows as shocked passengers watched from inside. Jhyrin Jones was arrested minutes after running up to the airplane, which had just landed. Jones, who had stripped to his underwear, gestured to passengers while ranting incoherently. The agitated Jones mounted one of the jet’s wings and began pacing and banging on cabin windows. Jones was subdued by airport police and charged with trespassing, damage to property, and obstruction of law enforcement. He was also hit with a public indecency count for exposing himself to the plane’s stunned passengers and crew. (https://goo.gl/sg5LYn)

MOMENT OF DUH:By LearnWithoutLoans.com (Find Funding For College)
A man wearing only boxer briefs and tennis shoes snarled rush-hour traffic in downtown Los Angeles last Wednesday after he climbed a busy freeway sign, hung protest posters, danced repeatedly, and apparently mocked his would-be rescuers. Reporters and passers-by shot videos of the man’s antics as he climbed around and on the freeway sign, eluding firefighters wearing harnesses and police officers trying to get him down. The southbound lanes of the freeway were closed as firefighters placed inflatables underneath the man and extended ladders to him. The traffic snarl spread onto connecting freeways and surface streets. The standoff ended when the man eventually did a backflip off the freeway sign down to an inflatable below. He was unhurt and quickly arrested. (https://goo.gl/TwCvHx)
