It's a phrase used when Chinese Whispers get fucked up as they travel down the line, isn't it? It cropped up in The Simpsons.

Purple monkey dishwasher Bart: [walking up to a crowd of striking teachers] Now for Operation Strike-Make-Go-Longer. [speaking to teacher] You know, I heard Skinner say the teachers will crack any minute. The teachers whisper it forward through the line. Teacher: [speaking to Edna] "Skinner said the teachers will crack any minute, purple monkey dishwasher." Edna Krabappel: "Well! We'll show him, especially for that 'purple monkey dishwasher' remark!"
This is most likely a reference to the telephone game, where a story or phrase passed sequentially from one member of a group to another is often grossly distorted once it reaches the intended recipient. The remark itself has achieved a notable amount of pop culture recognition as an inside joke between Simpsons fans. A Purple Monkey Dishwasher zine (Modbury North, S.A. : Purple Monkey Dishwasher, 1996-1999) was even published for a short time.

The Simpsons ref is just a coincidence. The current name is what she agreed to go by after I complained to Darryn about her original 'Purple Monkey Asscrack' handle.

For all that Purple Monkey Dishwasher is a bit lame and makes you sound a like a teenager trying desperately hard to be cool but failing to grasp the coolness nettle by the skin of their milky white teeth, it remains intrinsically less lame than Honeybaby.
