Despite all the racist definitions you may have heard for this word, it can actually be applied to 80% of the population of Schenectady, NY. It crosses all racial lines. Just alot of lazy folk with nothing better to do. Sometimes just drinkin beer waiting for the some crack whores to walk by so they can get some ass.
Driving thru Schenectady, one will notice one out of every three houses are infested with porch monkeys.
A person that sits usually on their porch by themselves or with other people doing basically nothing yet looking and watching others. They can be black or white.
It means a Person, black, white, brown, or Yellow who are lazy and have nothing better to do but sit on there porch all day. All tho A long time ago I do think it started as racial term that made no since. Back then everyone use sitting on there porch as a good pastime rich or poor.
