Milhouse, if Webster’s had video, by the listing for “merry” they could easily use the video here from the Atrium slichos in Monsey where you see the guys jumping up and down and singing. And this is one of the tamer ones. By the Yehuda Green ones it is even worse:

VIDEO: Monsey: Neturei Karta Protest Selichos Event That Has Music

“Tisha B’av, with or without music, so long as the tunes are appropriate to the day. Merry is not appropriate.”

Why isn’t merry appropriate? Vi shteit az m’tur nisht?
