real scientist: i can't believe people pay these gravel monkeys to play with dirt
gravel monkeys: oooohh aahahaaoooh aahah *plays with dirt and gravel*
A slang term for Civil engineers primarily used by Mechanical engineers. This term is more prevalent in engineering students where the 'fued' between mechanical and civil engineering students is common. The term is most obviously a play on the racist term sand monkey for people from arab/north africa regions.
Did you hear the Supreme Court just ruled that convicts don't have a right to DNA testing, even if they pay for it themselves! What a bunch of gavelmonkeys!
