whats merica ? Are you Trying to say America ?

It's also a flavor of "Murica", an internet meme. Yes, they are short for America. From knowyourmeme

 

’Murica or ’Murika is a slang term for America which is used to denote extreme patriotism, coupled with aspects of a redneck or southern American stereotype

Well, that's kind of stupid. No wonder no one knows how to speak English anymore ... meaning, "American English".

Egads!!!

Why so pedantic?

 

Lets just call it a home-made contraction......

 

A contraction is a shortened version of the written and spoken forms of a word, syllable, or word group, created by omission of internal letters and sounds.
In linguistic analysis, contractions should not be confused with crasis, abbreviations nor acronyms (including initialisms), with which they share some semantic and phonetic functions, though all three are connoted by the term "abbreviation" in loose parlance.[1] Contraction is also distinguished from clipping, where beginnings and endings are omitted.
