Monkey Phrases

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
