"Monkeygrin"? Derived from: ape-sh**t + s**t-eating grin = monkeygrin? Or just grinning like an ape?

While I like the correct one, I definitely like your creative one better, Jackie!

I thought tsuwm's was pretty creative in the first place! Especially since that monkeygrin was a first cousin of the mondegreen... However, I don't know whether tsuwm created 'monkeygrin.'

at a minimum, I arrived at monkeygrin independently. but here's the monkeywrench: it comes up with three (completely unrelated) hits on the google-ometer--and two of those relate to ihateclowns.com!!

don't I get any points for creativity?Possibly - but you certainly get points for a dive into (or possibly 'an ascent to'?) metalinguistics, Jackie! "Monkey-green" is a self-referential mondegreen!

I'm feeling a definite chopped-liver moment here: exactly which creativity are you guys debating? -joe paté

Put away the crackers: we were debating my "creativity", which was entirely a red herring that I hoped would distract people from the fact that I overlooked the obvious!
