I remember this word from Snagglepuss on the Hanna-Barbera cartoon, "Quickdraw McGraw." He always used to say, "Heaven to Mergatroid" as though Mergatroid were a name like "Betsy" (i.e. Heavens to Betsy). Perhaps the writers of that cartoon would have some idea as to its origin.

The definition of "nerdle" as a small amount of toothpaste was corroborated by a short clip on the Today Show (NBC) on Dec 31, 2012.
