Equator Monkey

Ecuador (which literally translates to Equator in Spanish), is a country in South America that lies on the equator. "Equator Monkey" is a racist epithet to insult someone of Ecuadorian heritage. The insult is meant to describe them based on the stereotype that Ecuadorians are short, tan, tropical and are as wild as monkeys. Climbing trees, hunting for coconuts, swinging on branches, and practicing what the USA would consider barbaric behaviors when it comes to their diet. An example of one of their taboo dishes is Cuy, which is a South American guinea pig that is revered in Ecuadorian culture and is utilized in several ways, primarily as a food source. Guinea Pigs being beloved pets in North American Countries such as the USA and Canada, Ecuadorians are perceived as savages when it comes to their choice of meat.

Keyboard monkey

Somebody working a deskjob in a position that revolves (almost) entirely of entering data into fields, or similar menial tasks that requires little thought or input. These jobs are filling spreadsheets all day or writing for Buzzfeed. Basically somebody that works a job that you could train a monkey to do if a monkey could use a computer.

John: "I work all day, nine-to-five, and it's hard work!"

Jack: "Oh yeah, tell me all about how hard your data input job is, you fucking keyboard monkey."

Patrick always felt he knew better than everyone else and, behaving like a clever monkey, independently created his own invoice format to bill customers in Comic Sans font with his favorite, grossly inappropriate 'Quote of the Day' in the footer.
