As a verb, "monkey" occurs in at least a few multi-word verbs. "monkey around" - (intransitive)- This is, I suppose, a phrasal verb that means to be doing something in a careless, ineffectual or silly way. Tell the kids to quit monkeying around.

- "monkey with" - (transitive)- I'm not positive, but I think that this must be a prepositional verb.
- It means something like to tinker with or mess with something.
