Steel Monkey 

US Slang for workers who build steel framed skyscraper buildings. This work was often undertaken by Native Americans of the Mohawk or Iroqui tribes. Mythology has it that they have no natural fear of height, although being prepared to undertake dangerous work at low pay may well be the major factor. The 'Steel Monkey' was immortalised in a song by the British Folk Rock band 'Jethro Tull' on the Album 'Crest of a Knave'

"As the moon slips up, and the sun sets down,
Im a highrise jockey, and Im heaven-bound.
Do the workboot shuffle, loose brains from brawn.
Im a monkey puzzle and the lid is on.

Can you guess my name? Can you guess my trade?
Im going to catch you anyway.
You might be right. Ill give you guesses three.
Feel me climbing up your knee.

Guess what I am. I'm a steel monkey"

Extract from 'Steel Monkey' by Jethro Tull, Lyrics by Ian Anderson

Steel Monkey 

(Noun) A man of epic proportions who, by possessing such traits of masculinity, strength, raw sexuality, intelligence, and charm, has been labeled by much of the feminine world as God Almighty’s gift of the ages. He, who with a single look, can either terrify the world’s most courageous man, or melt the heart of any beautiful woman.

I saw Steel Monkey kill that terrorist with one hand while simultaneously winning the hearts of 19 women. I heard that Chuck Norris is his bastard son.

steal a monkey, save a hashbrown 

Typical response when someone mishears a word. This phrase lets the person know that they have, in fact, heard wrong, and, that they are quite stupid.

Did you just say "Tiny poodles invaded Finland?"
No, I said "My in-laws are coming from Newfoundland." Way to steal a monkey, save a hashbrown.
