Redwood monkey (slang, derogatory) — A made-up insult directed toward someone from Northern California or Native to that region, implying they are wild, primitive, or less civilized. Often used mockingly or with racist undertones toward Indigenous people, referencing “Redwood” (a Northern California symbol) and “monkey” (a demeaning term).
1. Insulting context:
“Go back to the woods, you redwood monkey.”
(Used to mock someone’s Native background or connection to Northern California nature.)
2. Mocking someone’s roots:
“Figures a redwood monkey like you wouldn’t get it.”
(Meant to sound superior, suggesting the person is uneducated or “wild.”)
3. Targeted, location-based jab:
“You must be from up north — all you redwood monkeys act the same.”
(Insulting someone for being from a specific area, often in a racist or classist tone.)
