A Monkeybator is a hackling who excessively and obsessively praises and promotes the work of another hackling, chiefly through quasi-blurbs and arsebollocks, on the understanding that the other hackling will reciprocate. Two reciprocating Monkeybators are said to form a Simian Flipflop.
When there are more than two Monkeybators arranged in a closed loop, the correct term is a Monkeychain.
Simian Flipflops and Monkeychains are forms of Tactical Twatism.
