monkey hurlage -
Crap.
© Michael Quinion -- Monkey hurlage
This expression appeared in the Dilbert comic strip on 25 July: "Wally, your calf muscles and ankles are performing well, but the rest of you
is monkey hurlage." (That day's strip is online via http://quinion.com?DILB .) This was obviously enough
a euphemism for "crap" based on the unfortunate habit of apes in zoos of throwing the stuff at visitors, but what I hadn't known until
Markus Laker e-mailed me about it last weekend was that Scott Adams had invented it. In itself, that's nothing remarkable, but as he points
out, the term has already taken root online, with at least a dozen examples used for real without reference to the strip. "It's not often
that you can pinpoint the coining of a new phrase right down to a single day," he writes.
