I think this thread should be about “thingy”… you know… “thingy”.

or Monkeys, I touched a Monkey once it was very Monkey-like.

Or how about a “what did you have for lunch” thread? (I had cold Popeyes chicken and a Fanta Strawberry soda).

A monkey’s thingy is beautiful to another monkey.

Your thingy is not particularly attractive to monkeys.
