When I was 16, I drove my family to Florida in 1973 (this was during the "gas crisis") from the Pacific Northwest (all 3,435 miles). Back then, many of the Interstates were not complete, and AAA (actually CAA) had routed us on several back roads for the shortest route.
I had never been in the "deep south" before. Well, going thru such states as Mississippi and Alabama, we went thru hick towns and spied old shacks with "porch monkeys" sittin' out front. It was quite a cultural shock!
what constitutes a porch monkey? i like sitting on my back porch does that make me one?

A derogatory for a person of african or african american decent. BUT it could also mean a generally lazy person. This term came to be when you think of african americans sitting on there porch chatting it up. Also in the movie Clerks II, the sequal to Clerks, Randal tries to reclaim it as a new term for lazy people. And thus offends several customers and his boss.
