webmonkey
a largely unskilled Web worker - one with a
passable understanding of HTML but little else.
It is often supposed that, in the New Media food chain, there
is nothing lower than a webmonkey. Alas, there is: people who
barely have the skills to use FrontPage; these people are
called "typists".
The B1FF of webmonkeys is personified as Bobo the
Webmonkey.
Compare actor/singer/waiter/webmaster.
And compare sysape, one-banana problem, scratch monkey,
monkey up, and Infinite-Monkey Theorem for other simian
allusions.
