Words can be powerful and decisive or they can be ineffectual and empty, but they have never been more powerful than with monkey figures of speech this past week. This has been happening on two levels. First, the things the figures of speech describe have come into being (such as barrels of monkeys, monkey business, and so on). Second, the phrases themselves appear to be existing in a strange anthropomorphic ephemeral state.

First noted outside George Sherman Union of Boston University, the phrases, which appear to be able to speak normally like you or I, have been hovering about the monkey phenomena they refer to. The phrase “monkey business” has been hovering like a hologram above the barrel of monkeys that have started going bananas in the area. Bananas have also been important devices for communication for the literal monkey business occurring, as the monkey businesspeople have been using them as if they are phones. This appears to be part of a coordinated effort to insert more monkey idioms into people’s language, perhaps by a top banana behind the scenes.
