  • Monty, which means "something completely different," from Monty Python's Flying Circus. Monty can be used as an interjection, as in a discussion when one speaker wants to change the subject and says, "Monty!". Monty can be a verb, such as when someone wants to change activities and says, "Let's monty". It can be a noun such as when something totally unusual is observed and someone says "That's a real monty!". It can be an adjective such as when someone gets a new haircut and a friend says "Your hair is totally monty!". Just be careful not to get it confused with "Full Monty" which would suggest full frontal nudity, as in the movie of that name. Although a full monty could, in many situations, be extremely monty!
