What's a "porch monkey?"?

Question

My friend has started using this word lately and I don't know what it means. He's also started saying "nugget."
This is slang, but for what?

Answer 1

It is a racist word for a black person.

It came about because of geographical and cultural circumstances ...

Because the climate is so hot in the south, people spend a lot of time out on the porch, esp. in the hottest months, June, July and August.

Before there was airconditioning, life there slowed down a lot in these months, giving the outsider the impression of people being lazy.

So, as racist people made the monkey-black man comparison, the term came about.

Also, it implies that blacks are lazy, just hanging out on a porch all day.

Tell your friend to stop using that term. It is not funny.
