What are brass monkey

I had to copy this to b historically accurate: The expression: "It is cold enough to freeze the balls of a brass monkey" comes from the practice of putting iron cannon balls on a dimpled brass plate on the deck of a war-ship. When very cold the brass contracted sufficiently to cause the iron balls to fall out.

What are brass monkey

Brass Monkey
That funky Monkey
Brass Monkey junkie
That funky Monkey
Brass
Got this dance that's more than real
Drink Brass Monkey, here's how you feel
You put your left leg down
Your right leg up
Tilt your head back, let's finish the cup

I'll take note next time I'm on a war-ship

I am sure you'll be watching most observantly how the sailors handle their balls.

I hate to be a pedant but I fear the cannon balls story is a myth. Cannon balls would not be stored on deck because it would be dangerous.
Brass monkeys were a commonly sold ornament and it's thought that's where some cheeky cockney chap reflected "Eh crikey my old man - cold enuff to, well I dunno, meybe freeze the balls off that brass monkey, I'll be bound, mate".

A bit of controversy on a Saturday morning. I love it

I have no doubt that improperly clothed balls might suffer a reaction, but generally in an upward direction. Cold nipples however simply become a nuisance but... brass nipples?

Morning all
Thanks for an awesome earworm @Wriggle

Maybe little brass clips for your nipples?

My mind went straight into a cockney accent there or something like it may sound to a northerner.

Stop it you lot.....you've got 10 minutes to stop it

 

[Adorabubble]

10 minutes!

 

[Adorabubble]

Anyway, the current state of my nipples can be found elsewhere

 

[EbersMoll]

Morning everyone, bit chilly. Looks like I have some catching up to do…

 

[RainyWetDayGuy]

Maybe it was a Cockney sailor, or maybe just cocky, and on a morning like this, definitely nipply, wherever the canon balls were stashed.
