Hey now, let's not start diluting the Ninja Patching(TM) brand.
Monkey patching is for sissies who are content merely to make a
maintenance programmer spend half a day, tops, tearing their hair out.
 Ninja Patches are a whole new level of silent code assasination.

This one time a Ninja flipped out and killed a whole town[1] just
because someone called his code a monkey patch.  So I'd tread
carefully if I were you.

If you still don't understand I suggest you just ask a Ninja[2].
He'll explain the difference very clearly... to your corpse.
