I was perusing a dictionary today - as you do - and I came upon these gems :-
monkey n (pl -keys) 1 a medium-sized primate belonging to the group that includes baboons, marmosets, capuchins, and macaques 2 a mischievous child (infml)
monkey around or about vi behave in a silly careless way
monkey business n illegal, dishonest, or dubious activity (infml)
monkey nut n a peanut in its shell (infml)
monkey wrench n a spanner with an adjustable jaw
Mmm, all very interesting but I think the last one needs to be redefined. I think it should read :
monkey wrench adj an emotion of guilt associated with creating a knitted primate and then deserting it in London
