使用する際の注意点

The phrase is generally but not exclusively used in simile, e.g., I'm busier than a monkey humping a football or You look like a monkey humping a football. The riding position may also be used attributively, usually with a hyphen: I switched to a monkey-humping-a-football position. The plural form has somewhat different usage. In particular, it lacks the riding sense.
