Any explanation / meaning / backstory is more than welcome, or you can just drop it for everyone to try and resolve.

    Gramercy, in lieu of “thank you very much.” I don’t know why, but it’s something from Mallory’s King Arthur stories that always stuck with me and I think it deserves a revival.

    ETA: for those unaware, it’s a conjunction of the French gran merci, which translates the same way you probably suspect: big thanks, or grand thanks, or in other words, thank you very much

      Funnily enough we don’t even use “gran(d) merci”, at least not anymore, we use merci beaucoup instead, because we french are incapable of speaking concisely
