Why am I obsessed with the word 'monkey'?

Asked by MissCupid (370points) July 3rd, 2010

Why am I obsessed with the word ‘monkey’? I think it in my head a lot and I use it as an affectionate term too. I think it’s the best word ever. But it’s not really… I’m going bananas. Ha ha hmmm…

Welcome to fluther, MissCupid.

How long have you been obsessed with the word Monkey?

How old are you?

Are you also obsessed with the visual image of the monkey, or just the word itself?

Would you like to own a monkey?

Like the one Ross had on Friends – Marcel?

Ha ha! Thank you for your welcome. Maybe the fact that it is 3am has something to do with my sanity.
I am 29 and not at all interested in actual monkeys and find their brightly coloured bottom picking habits quite disturbing.
Not at all interested in owning a monkey.
Just love the word…
Monkey…Monkey…Monkey…Monkey…Monkey…Monkey…Monkey…Monkey…Monkey…Monkey…Monkey…Monkey…Monkey…Monkey…Monkey…Monkey…Monkey…Monkey…

@Tropical_Willie Funny – but it’s Minkey.

@MissCupid Where are you – in Europe?

@zenele

That may be how it’s pronounced, but it’s spelled menkey.

3AM would be Greenwich I think.

Edit: forgot we are on DST it’s 2:30 AM in London.

Actually, the link is for a clip entitled “Minkey” – which I why I corrected it. The correct pronunciation is definitely Menkey; The stupid, pesudo-French way of pronouncing Men – key, i.e.

@Zenele Europe indeed. No monkeys here. Which is probably good. They have scary bottoms.
