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"
Peter: "Hahaha...What the Monkey!"

Wes: "What the Monkey!! Who the heck threw my underwear on the chandelier?"

Happy Monkey 

An alternate personal greeting of the Christmas Holiday Season for atheists. It originated on December 18, 2008 on the science blog, Pharyngula. The blogger, PZ Myers, received an email in which the writer referred to evolutionists and atheists as worshiping Charles Darwin as a god, and proceeded to say, "Until then, happy monkey! (or what ever non Christmas evolution people say)".
We wish you a Happy Monkey, and a Happy New Year.
