mer is "ocean" in at least three languages that I can think of.

Unless it's some new slang, a "mer girl" would be an immature mermaid. In which case, "mer" comes from the French word "mer," meaning the sea. Hence the term "mer-people" and "mermen" as well as mermaid.
So a "mer girl" would be either a girl who likes and spends a lot of time in, on or around the sea... or she has scales and fins instead of feet. :-)
My suspicion is that if this term was used to you or someone you know, it was probably the former; if it was used in a fantasy story, it may well have been the latter.

In French "mer" means sea as in the Mediterranean or can also mean just a general body of water.

Mer=half fish, as in Mermaid. I'd guess that a mer-girl is just a young mermaid.

mer is a reply to almost any question that means something along the lines of, "my soul cannot bear the weight of giving you a real answer"

Depends on the context.
If you meant to quote the term, 'mere girl', it's demeaning. It means you don't have to give any creedence to her thoughts, words, or actions because she's 'only' or 'just' a girl.
If you really did mean, 'mer girl', then she's an immature mermaid.
