Monkey's Bum is

1. e4 g6, 2. Bc4 Bg7, 3. Qf3

So called because when the guy who invented it showed it to a friend the reaction was "If that works I'm a monkey's bum".

I don't remember the names of the people involved but I do know they were members of my club - Streatham & Brixton - albeit many years ago (70s I think).
