The term "il merda" comes from Italian, where "merda" literally means "shit". It was popularized among a group of friends who played League of Legends together, using it to humorously insult one of their own, who struggled to move out of the Bronze rank. Over time, it spread within their gaming community and beyond, becoming a common way to refer to players deemed unskilled or stuck at the lowest competitive levels.
