The most known definition of "monkey" is the animal monkey; an animal often found in the jungel of Africa.
But we're talking about another explanation of the meaning of the word. Monkey can also be used as an exclamation, like the word blimey. Blimey is used when something happens suprisingly, like when someone's getting jumped from behind.
Monkey is 100 % certainly evolved by a fifteen year old student in Norway. According to the rumours he was playing a computer game, and when things went wrong, he cried "Monkey!".

Get the monkeymug. A monkey is any member of two of the three groupings of simian primates. These three groupings are the New World monkeys, the Old World monkeys, and the apes. The New World monkeys are classified within the parvorder Platyrrhini, whereas the Old World monkeys (superfamily Cercopithecoidea) form part of the parvorder Catarrhini, which also includes the apes. Thus, scientifically speaking, monkeys do not form a "natural group", in that the Old World monkeys are actually more closely related to the apes than they are to the New World species. There are 264 known extant species of monkey. Because of their similarity to monkeys, apes such as chimpanzees and gibbons are often called monkeys in informal usage, though biologists don't consider them to be monkeys. Conversely, due to its size (up to 1 metre) the Mandrill is often thought to be an ape, but it is actually an Old World monkey. Also, a few monkey species have the word "ape" in their common name. Because they are not a single coherent group, monkeys do not have any particular traits that they all share and are not shared with the remaining group of simians, the apes.

Get the Monkeymug. A general black person. Since they're usually exorbitantly plain, to say the best, they're likely to confused with monkeys. (Same natural skincolor, wrinkled hands, matching mimicry and in rutting season, similar smell).
" ... You even talk white. That's not bad - for a monkey (referring to black people)."
