Thank you, Flula, for explaining plant pollination better than any biology teacher I ever had. If only I'd have know that it was because the bees knees were sticksy from the honey. It makes complete sense now.
And der is HONEY all over da place!!! And da feets, da feet of da bees dos are inside da honey! And da knee, dos are close to da feet, so pewww. Much honey for me!
Neither 'the bees knees', nor 'big as a bees knee' appear in 1870 Brewer, which indicates that the expression grew or became popular after this time. Based on Nigel Rees' well researched and reliable dating of 1923 for first recorded use, it is likely that earliest actual usage was perhaps a few years before this.
Bees have long been a metaphorical symbol because they are icons everyone can recognise, just as we have many sayings including similarly appealing icons like cats and dogs. Earlier references to the size of a 'bee's knee' - meaning something very small (for example 'as big as a bee's knee') - probably provided a the basis for adaptation into its modern form, which according to the OED happened in the USA, not in UK English.
bees knees/the bee's knees - something really good, especially an excellent example of its type - essentially the bees knees (strictly bee's knees) expression originated (first recorded in the US in 1923 according to etymolygist Nigel Rees) because like similar terms (for example 'the cats pyjamas' or the 'cream of the crop') its alliterative and poetic quality makes it pleasant to say and to hear.
You overcompensate your personal issues with some of the great things the US thankfully achieved by posting prepared lists on every video at least remotely related to europe (your obsession). You may add "world's highest prisoner ratio" for subsequent spamming. Also: It's a stretch to sell Einstein as American when he earned his scientifical merits during his european time. (Your response will contain some insults as you seem very passionate about this.)
@MissTeenColorado Is that really necessary? Cool, we get it, you're American and proud of it. But a.) that doesn't apply to bees, knees, or Flula, and b.) saying good things about America and then calling Europeans Eurotrash? Not giving off the best image for yourself OR your country here.
OMG, Flula! The way your mind works! :-D "Thanks bee!" Lol! Thank you Flula for also letting us know you are 1 Latte more awake than usual ;-P As always, Adorable.
you are the knees, of the bees.
