What does MERCH mean in Scrabble?
noun
informal
Products such as clothing, posters or accessories sold under the name or image of a band, film, team or celebrity.
Merch is a shortened, casual form of merchandise, used especially for the T-shirts, hats, mugs and other items fans buy to show support for a musician, sports team, film franchise or online creator. A concert venue selling merch usually sets up a dedicated table or stand near the exit where fans can buy items after the show. The term spread quickly through music culture and later into gaming, streaming and film fandoms, where creators now sell branded merch directly through their own websites. Because merch is informal, it appears constantly in casual conversation and marketing copy but rarely in formal business documents, which still favour the full word merchandise.
