monkey grip

Not releasing an item from your hand, even if it is not needed or is having a negative affect.

Originating from the story of trapping monkeys. This is done by placing a banana behind a device that a monkey can easily get their hand through. While grabbing the fruit they make a fist that wont allow them to pull out and they wont let go of the banana.

Maybe if you let go of your monkey grip on those groceries you could open the door.

I had a monkey grip on the fork and couldn't catch the dropping plate of food.

Floor Monkey

People who: (1) can’t afford to buy $5,000 tables at exclusive Vegas nightclubs; (2) queue in the general admissions line like muggy cunts; (3) buy drinks at the bar like losers; and (4) dance on the floor rather than on top of their expensive waitress serviced table.

Vegas Dave: "Cyril this is a great stag."

Cyril: "Yeah mate I'm so glad we bought this $5,000 table."

Vegas Dave: "Yeah mate, just look at all those Floor Monkeys down there, dancing to Chris Brown."

Floor Monkey: "Hey what did you just say? I'm more than just a Floor Monkey."

Cyril: "You're right. You're also a muggy cunt".
