Default Re: the monkeys have hit the button
I don't know for sure, but my guess is that this expression would mean that things are going wrong. Like Homer Simpson behind the control panel at the nuclear power plant. It ain't safe... And if he hits a button it might be the one that makes the whole plant explode. Do you think this is far off?
