This year is the year of monkey. This afternoon, while driving, I heard on the radio the host talk about English "monkey phrases." He mentioned three: monkey business, a monkey on one's back, and monkey around.
Curious about more monkey phrases, I checked online and find nine at Oxford Dictionaries:

Guesss what phrases are listed here?
Ans:
1. cold enough to freeze the balls (nose, tail, etc.) off a brassy monkey
2. monkey house
3. monkey business
4. monkey wrench
5. monkey see, monkey do
6. more fun than a barrel of monkeys
7. Well, I'll be a monkey's uncle!
8. monkey's wedding
9. a monkey on one's back
