Would you please provide context?

I saw it on fb, it was like this: don't get my monkey up!!

Hi,

If I were you, I would ask the guy directly through a private message since this might be a typo, a mistake or even a newly coined or invented phrase!

---

it was written on sb's wall n the guy wasn't my friend, so because I found it new I'm searching for the meaning..

Hi,

Any reference ?

Hi, I just guessed it, what's ur idea?s

Hi,

I could not find such a term "get sb's monkey up" on the Internet,

but "Monkey up" means "To hack together hardware for a particular task, especially

a one-shot job".

Dear Ali

i`ve heard this before our friend Mahtab here has a point !

Look we know monkeys are unpredictable and sometimes have very 

Aggressive behavior!

I`ve heard this on a movie and I`m sure the meaning is what she

said up here! unfortunately I can`t provide any references

since I can`t remember the Movie`s title so we just have to 

wait for someone else to share an opinion!

Hi 

here you go this is the approval of what was said up here by Mahtab

according to it this phrase is an old fashioned phrase not used anymore and also British phrase it is.
