avere la scimmia
italian expression (literally “to have the monkey/ to got the monkey”). typical of young people’s slang. it has two princ-p-l meanings.
1. to have a strong obsession for somebody or something, or to desire something strongly. in the same meaning is used as well the reflexive verb “inscimmiarsi” (something that could be literally translated as “to be ‘inmonkeyed'”). in particular, the expression is used in the drug-addicteds slang, meaning to be addicted to a drug or to have withdrawal symptoms for some drug.
2. to be in a bad mood or, in general, to be in a strange or particular but elusive mood
