definition of "miercolina" (?)

I am hazarding a guess on the spelling of this word, but am curious as to what it means. I know miercoles=Wednesday but can’t find a definition of miercolina.

I was walking my dog today and crossed paths with a grandmother walking her toddler, and the grandmother smiled, looked down at the dog and said “Beautiful, miercolina.”

Could have been the name Merculina instead, given the context.

I didn’t read it correctly all the way through, and for a moment thought it was a nice compound word for “pile of feces”. :wink:

But it is likely what Nava said, or perhaps other somewhat similar nickname like Macorina.

Some connection with Wednesday’s god, Mercury and the related concept, mercurial?

That’s why I said “given the context”: if the OP had stepped on the old lady’s foot, I would have gone for “euphemism”, too :slight_smile: (miércoles is used as an euphemism for mierda)

In all likelihood, “Mira que linda!”, or “Look how pretty!”
