A grease monkey is an informal term used to describe a mechanic or someone who works with engines and machinery, often in a garage or workshop. The term comes from the idea that mechanics often get grease or oil on their hands and clothes while working on engines and other parts of vehicles. While the term may be used in a playful or affectionate way, it can sometimes be seen as a bit disrespectful, as it reduces the skilled work of a mechanic to a simple image of dirty labor.
