Grease monkey is a slang term for a mechanic, especially those who work on cars or aircraft. The term is thought to date back to the Industrial Revolution when young children would grease the axles that provided power to the steam engines in the factories. The children were often covered in grease and were compared to monkeys, as they would crawl around on the floor and squeeze into tight spaces.
