The origin of the idiom "monkey in the middle" can be traced back to the game of catch or soccer, where players form a circle and try to keep the ball away from one participant positioned in the middle. Figuratively, it refers to a situation where someone is caught or trapped between two opposing forces or groups, often being used as a target or subject of teasing, manipulation, or exclusion.
