#monkey suit

another X-thread comic I got finished recently, this time featuring my BF Dies Volt as the main subject.

Villain'll hold a mic like he's mean and his tummy hurt

In a clean pair of ripped jeans and a bummy shirt

Wonderin' would you clap your hands if he was friendly?

Dapper Dan dipped and pretend to be Fendi and gold sellin'

No tellin', slap a fan hand down, tell 'em "no yellin'"

DOOM, all capitals, no trick spellin'

Hi everybody! 😊 Our slang term of the day is ”Monkey suit“, which means “tuxedo.” ⠀ Origin: the most well accepted theory is that "monkey suits" are called that after being generally worn by children ("monkey" was a common slang for child in the 19th century). This term "monkey suit" then got to be applied to all tuxedo like suits through the magic of linguistics in the early 20th century.
