Netizens on Chinese microblogging websites are all agog1 for the upcoming Horse month of the Monkey year, a calendar occurrence so rare that the phrase is a commonly used slang to refer to a date in the unforeseeable future.
中國微博用戶們正在熱切期盼猴年馬月的到來。依據日歷上的猴年馬月比較罕見，因此這個詞一般用來形容不可預測的將來日子。
猴年馬月（Horse month of the Monkey year，one of these years）多讓人們用來形容一件事遙遙無期。這個詞的來歷無從考據，不過有人稱，這個詞義多半來自于方言的以訛傳訛，最火爆的說法覺得，猴年馬月是天津的何年嘛月諧音的變體。
