Slang for homosexual.

Back in the late 90s in one of the geography classrooms of the Greensward School was a jungle scene. One of the animals drawn on purple paper was a monkey with a limp wrist. From that moment on homosexuals was known as purple monkeys.

Despite claims this phrase originated on "The Simpsons", it actually existed long before it was used in the show. The phrase is intended to portray the distortion of facts when passed from person to person.

Its use in "The Simpsons" was accurate; Bart starts a rumour by whispering to one person who whispers it to another, etc. By the time the rumour reaches the front of the crowd, the phrase "Purple monkey dishwasher" has been added to the end due to people mishearing the original rumour as it passed from person to person.

Due to the popularity of "The Simpsons", the phrase has since become a commonly used response to opinions stated based on hearsay and unconfirmed rumours.
Person A - "I heard from a friend of a friend that John cheated on Linda with Karen!"

Person B - "Purple monkey dishwasher."

So apparently the story is, the Kumara that go in to Purple Monkey Finger are grown on land that was the cemetery of the local prison for the criminally insane.

The gardens were looked after by crazy old nuns, all of them were blind except for the mother superior who was mute.

She was mute until one of the prisoners made moonshine out of the Kumara, in her room alone one night, she had a drink, and she started screaming and didn't stop until she died.

They say that even now, if you open a bottle of Purple Monkey Finger alone, in the dark, in a very quiet room, you can hear the old mute nun scream.

A parody of the game 'telephone' used on an episode of The Simpsons. Instead of an original message becoming jumbled by person to person contact, the message is perfectly repeated at the end...but with the addition of the words "purple monkey dishwasher."
