FNG here. I registered mainly for this epic thread. TY all who have contributed to help properly define toolishness in today's modern aviation. And to help recognize my own toolish tendencies.
I nominate all those who fly in Merida's airspace, and either don't know or simply cannot pronounce the controlling agency's name.
Merida owns the Yucatan and the Southern Gulf of Mexico. And here's how it is pronounced.
MARE-eh-dah. It's easy. Say it with me.
It's not "Meridia". Not "Meedia". Definitely not "Meridian". MARE-eh-dah. And please don't say "Adios" to the controller. Mexicans don't say it to each other any more, if they ever did. It makes you sound like a fool. Do we say "To God" or "Go with God" to each other when we say goodbye? It's like saying "Fare thee well" or something.
I feel better now...

I hear them get butchered all the time from other foreign carriers, but the level of butthurt remains low. Fare thee well!

And on the Adios, agree, toolish, that's why I go with;
Huevos Rancheros Muchachos, in Mexican airspace
and 'Our feet are the same' in Germany,
Sa'long in Isreal,
and Impala in Dubai...
I wonder why the all hate us?

Well, but you have to admit she didn't do it behind anyone's back. which was the stated claim. Had she done so, we wouldn't be having this debate now.
