“猴年马月”指没有准确的期限,不知道什么时候,事情发生或者完成的时间与说话时时间间隔比较长;也用来指这件事情不太可能实现或完成。也有一种说法认为,“猴年马月”是天津话“何年嘛月”谐音的变体。
"猴年马月(hóunián mǎyuè)" means there is no specific deadline for an on-going thing or specific date for occurrence of the thing. It also indicates that something is unlikely accomplished. Someone believes that "猴年马月(hóunián mǎyuè)" is derived from “何年嘛月(hénián màyuè)”, an expression in Tianjin dialect.
