The “not my circus, not my monkeys” saying is believed to have originated in Poland. It is believed to be a direct English translation of a popular Polish proverb that goes, “Nie moje krowy, nie moje konie.” However, this Polish proverb talks about cows instead of monkeys. Some believe that Poland is the source of this catchy phrase. The saying is supposedly from a Polish proverb that goes, “Nie moje krowy, nie moje konie,” which translates to “It’s not my cows, it’s not my horses.” People initially used this proverb to describe themselves as not being responsible for caring for animals on their property. However, over time people started using the phrase to distance themselves from situations they deemed out of their control.
