Mickey Mouse patrol

Rent-a-cops, security that usually only have "guns" with rubber bullets, if that. They "patrol" schools, concerts, and sporting events, but if there's anything close to a fight, they're out of there like rats out of a sinking ship.

The phrase was coined in Nova Scotia, Canada by snowplow drivers and was originally used solely for pre-911 airport security.
"Did you see the Mickey Mouse patrol during the Code Blue today?"
"Yeah, I saw a few of them go out a window. Too bad it was on the second story."

monkey-house

monkey-house

this term can be used, depending on the context, to define either of 2 things

a) a ghetto (socio-economically disadvantaged neighborhood populated, mainly, by ethnic minorities) public school where most, if not all, of the kids have or have had problems with one or more or even all of the following, among other things: being a run-away, truancy, the law, hard core drugs, prostitution, alcohol, teenage pregnancy pacts and curfew violations

b) an offensive term for either the psychiatric ward of a regular hospital, the local half-way house, or for a specialized mental health facility (such as Insitut Pinel in Montreal, Canada).
a mother finds out her eldest daughter is doing marijuana.

mother: Anna, you know, I don't really see the point of paying for your private education anymore, since, in my experience, once you have started on marijuana, the snow-balling effect won't stop until you crash and you will just keep going deeper. What i can do if you want, is send you to continue your education at the local monkey-house; Ecole Secondaire St Luc is right next door to our place.

Anna: roflmao. I started actually, smoking pot, because I broke up with my boyfriend Evan. And because of my breakup, Ill either crash, as you mentioned, or I guess I can check myself into a monkey-house, since I am just so bloody depressed, I feel like removing myself from society.

Grease Monkey

A person who works on cars a lot is called a grease monkey because your hands get full of grease. Never thought it was racist because the only people I ever knew called that were white, so I didn't make the connection people make with Monkey being a slur against brown people. Also didn't think it was a put down on blue collar workers (of any race) because those were the only people I knew. It was just descriptive. It could have situational racial or economic negative connotations. Example: some wealthy person tries to put down any person working on their car by calling them a Grease Monkey in a derogatory way...most mechanics take pride in their work and themselves, so that would be confusing, and really only prove the rich guy was a pompous ass who doesn't know how to fix his own car.
My Dad and his brothers were grease monkeys, so I learned how to fix my own car.
