💢Idiom ⭕️A monkey on your back  👉Meaning : If you have a monkey on your back, you have a problem, often an emotional one, which has made your life difficult for a long period. 🐒 They haven't beaten Manchester United in three years and it's a monkey on their backs that they are desperate to shake off. ‼️Note: You can also say that you got the monkey off your back, meaning that you managed to end the problem: 🐒 I'm just delighted to win and get the monkey off our back with a home victory at last. 🧚‍♂🔤🧚‍♀ @English_lang_learners
