Regression Monkey

An academic whose research consists of the stata commands reg, ivregress, robust, and vce().

The term is a reference to the old adage, "Infinite monkey theorem", that a million monkeys randomly typing at a million typewriters would eventually produce Shakespeare. To understand the term, just replace typewriters with "computers with stata" and shakespeare with "insightful economics."
A Regression Monkey hitting keys at random on a computer with Stata for an infinite amount of time will almost surely type any given text, such as the complete works of insightful economics.

What the Monkey!

What the Monkey!” is an expression which can be applied to almost any situation. It is not a question, it is a statement. Something like "What the F'"but to avoid cursing. "What the Monkey" is an expression usually when you are describing some kind of accident or surprise that had happened but it's funny. Like you watch some Funny Home Video about a guy trying to make a dive in the pool but the board broke or a cows trying to chase after you and make love.
Mary: "Hey, Kevin passed out last night and they stuck a carrot in his nose and a Pineapple on his head. Then they took pictures"

When a guy tries to make a point, has no clue and loses his temper. Usually much like a Wrecks Road Scholar, he has no real grasp on the subject, rants endlessly like an old man, is insulting and surly. He usually ends with a real blow up since he has nothing left at that point. His tactics run from projection and fingerpointing (blaming others for his failures) to name-calling to cover up his stupidity. This kind of person is very lonely and has few friends. They are known for trying to hide their vital statistics and making enemies with their neighbors. They prefer to live in gated communities with high security while spitting on everybody else. They are arrogant, idiotic, biased, narrow-minded, bigoted and extremely limited in intelligence and those are their good points. The best way to deal with a Meltdown Mikey is to cross the street.
Meltdown Mikey is blowing it again.
Wow, you're smarter than that! It's not like you're Meltdown Mikey, dude.

Zombie Monkey

When a movie has an extra bit at the end after the credits.
Named after the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie, (spoiler) when the monkey 'Jack' took a coin from the cursed chest at the very end of the credits.
Make sure to stay after the credits of that new movie, there's a zombie monkey you won't want to miss.
