brass monkey 

a 40 of Olde English 800 mixed with some OJ.

Typically one drinks the 40 down until the beer is level with the top of the cylinder of the bottle, then fill the bottle back up to the top with orange juice.

It is a very tasty treat.

Otherwise known as the "poor man's mimosa."

You wanna hit this Cognac man?

Nah... Poor Man's Mimosas until the day I die...

brass monkey 

Every sailing ship had to have cannon for protection. Cannon of the times required round iron cannonballs. The master wanted to store the cannonballs such that they could be of instant use when needed, yet not roll around the gun deck. The solution was to stack them up in a square-based pyramid next to the cannon. The top level of the stack had one ball, the next level down had four, the next had nine, the next had sixteen, and so on. Four levels would provide a stack of 30 cannonballs. The only real problem was how to keep the bottom level from sliding out from under the weight of the higher levels. To do this, they devised a small brass plate ("brass monkey") with one rounded indentation for each cannonball in the bottom layer. Brass was used because the cannonballs wouldn't rust to the "brass monkey", but would rust to an iron one.

When temperature falls, brass contracts in size faster than iron. As it got cold on the gun decks, the indentations in the brass monkey would get smaller than the iron cannonballs they were holding. If the temperature got cold enough, the bottom layer would pop out of the indentations spilling the entire pyramid over the deck. Thus it was, quite literally, cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey.

Cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey.

brass monkey weather 

Extremely cold weather, used by people of Sunderland and possibly Newcastle (I am not saying the 2 are the same, don't worry) as they are the only type of people who I have heard say it. "Brass monkey weather" is called thus because the temperature is so cold that "it would freeze the bollocks of a brass money".

#1: Boooar, its brass monkey weather!
#2: Ha? What?
#1: It would freeze the bollocks of a brass monkey
#2: Genius.
