tape monkey
n. A junior system administrator, one who might plausibly be assigned to do
physical swapping of tapes and subsequent storage. When a backup needs to be
restored, one might holler Tape monkey! (Compare one-banana problem ) Also
used to dismiss jobs not worthy of a highly trained sysadmin's ineffable
talents: Cable up her PC? You must be joking I'm no tape monkey.
