purple monkey dishwasher

Despite claims this phrase originated on "The Simpsons", it actually existed long before it was used in the show. The phrase is intended to portray the distortion of facts when passed from person to person.

Its use in "The Simpsons" was accurate; Bart starts a rumour by whispering to one person who whispers it to another, etc. By the time the rumour reaches the front of the crowd, the phrase "Purple monkey dishwasher" has been added to the end due to people mishearing the original rumour as it passed from person to person.

Due to the popularity of "The Simpsons", the phrase has since become a commonly used response to opinions stated based on hearsay and unconfirmed rumours.

Person A - "I heard from a friend of a friend that John cheated on Linda with Karen!"

Person B - "Purple monkey dishwasher."

shrine of the silver monkey

Probably the most popular of the rooms in the final temple challenge on the Nickelodeon game show "Legends of the Hidden Temple." Inside the room there were three pieces of a statue of a silver monkey. The participant could not go on to the next room until he or she put the three piece together.

Nostalgic Dude: "Dude, it was so frustrating watching kids who couldn't put the statue together in the Shrine of the Silver Monkey"
Other Dude: "I know! There were only three freaking pieces! How difficult could it be?"
