Significance of "monkey" ?
Is there something I'm not getting here? Or is it just coincedence? I get the impression that "monkey" has some meaning I'm just not understanding.
My g/f in TJ calls me monkey. There is a bar in PV called Cheeky Monkey. There is a monkey on the cultural center in Ensenada. It seems I have seen
other examples of sexual inuendo with a reference to "monkey". Help a guy out here, I hate being ignorant

Can't help much. However, there are indigenous monkeys in Mexico. And in Spanish, Monkey is Mono. Monkey face is Monada. See. I told you I was no
help.

It means, silly or cutie, in an endearing way, like dear, or honey, there is nothing derogatory about it generally, though you might call your dog
chango or a child or in this case, I guess a boy friend or love interest. Usually I have heard it used only in the house and not so often in public
except on occasion.

Are you short in stature with a proliferance of body hair ?
Do you "crawl around or over" things or her (g/f in TJ) ?
Do you make "monkey-like" sounds? Are you sure ?
Do you like bananas ?

Yes, "monkey" in English. You see she is my little mexican hairless (eat your heart out guys, the only hair on this girl is on her head ) so
she plays with my arm, leg and chest hair and calls me "mi monkey"

Monkey = Mono and Mono = cute so she could be calling you cute. Sounds to me like she is just calling you hairy! Does she ever call you a "peluche"?
