Sophie Monks 10 most classic Monkisms
DOES Sophie Monk just say what she’s thinking or is she not thinking at all? We’re not sure, but these 10 “Monkisms” make us think it’s the latter.
ITÂ’S been 15 years since Sophie Monk was thrust into the limelight when she won a spot in the TV pop group Bardot.
Not long after, Australia heard the first of many “Monkisms” — a term to describe one of her sentences that leaves you wondering if she just says what she thinks or rather if she’s thinking at all.
Appearing on Channel 10s The Panel in the late 1990s Monk said, “I don’t know who they are,” when asked if her song writing prowess was similar to John Lennon and Paul McCartney’s.
Oh, Sophie.
Monk, who now hosts the 2Day FM breakfast show with Merrick Watts and Jules Lund, has provided many classic “Monkisms” over the years, but these are our favourites:
On her cleaner putting her underwear away: “As long as my house is clean, I don’t care if my cleaner smells my undies.”
