What the history of them being called beavers!

A'ight, I took one for the team and looked this up. Several different answers. The euphemism's first time in print is the 1920's. However, it's believed that the term was widely used in Georgian England and the New World when brothel's made their courtesans shave down there; assuming this would cut down on the spreading of diseases. The Johns didn't care for the bald look, so small wigs were made called merkins. Merkins were made from beaver pelts.

Here's another list for you degenerates: NSFW Language or Topic

I saw a recently released mainstream movie that they said the main actress wore a merkin, causing me to wonder wth a merkin was, now that merkin and beaver pelt are connected at least I can sleep

one of you needs to bring the scene from How I Met Your Mother where Robin and a friend are performing the Beaver Song on a Canadian version of a children's show.
