CRANK THE MONKEY

It's when you know something about someone else that sets them off and you bring it up in conversation...you are "cranking the monkey"...kinda like an organ grinder cranks the organ...except you are cranking the monkey instead! It's usually a sore spot with them...something that happened or didn't happened that they are mad about. It's like reopening the "wound". It could also be just a reference to something about them (cosmetic or otherwise) that they are not happy hearing.

I love it when you wear your baseball cap backwards...it's so "mature" looking! Oh...I didn't mean to crank the monkey?

Jesus! What are you eating there Tamara! Looks like fucking Monkey Slops!

messy monkey

a difficult or complicated situation. Something that is going to take a bit of work to resolve. The origin of this phrase is derived from urban monkeys in Southeast Asia who you definitely don't want to have anywhere near your house, as they have been known to break and enter, and trash the premises in no time flat looking for anything edible.

In referring to the BP oil spill in the Gulf, former President George Bush might have comments by saying , "You see here, what we got in the Gulf is whatcha call a messy monkey. It's gonna take a lot of effort to clean it up and it's gonna take some time to get that leak plugged.
