An idiom used to describe the reverence given to someone or something that is venerated. The term originated from a scene in 2001: A Space Odyssey. In this scene, apes, the early ancestors of mankind, find and venerate a mysterious monolith that has appeared near their home.

Get the The Apes and The Monolithmug. 1. Song that will reverberate through rocks and space when the human race has long ended, due to its high level of awesomeness.
2. Song that is its own little self-contained world, which sucks one in and takes one on a sensual journey.

Enjoy the day, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.s .

Get the ''Monolith Day''mug. Being confronted by a computer (or technical) problem that you lack the skills (or intelligence) to resolve. A reference to the movie "2001," where confused monkeys are confronted by superior alien technology in the form of a monolith and beat it with sticks.
Dude A: My dad couldn't program his DVD player, and got totally pissed.
Dude B: Yep, monkeys before the monolith.

Get the monkeys before the monolithmug. To inappropriately treat a group of people as a hivemind or sharing the responsibility, opinions, effects, etc. that are not rightfully applied to the group as a generalization.
