At that time, it seemed to mean something delicious or rare:<!-- Beginning Brand Reveal after 3rd paragraph -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1544545608027-0\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<script type=\"text\/plain\" data-usercentrics=\"Google Ad Manager\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tgoogletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display(\"div-gpt-ad-1544545608027-0\"); });\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/script>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p> <!-- End Brand Reveal --><!-- CLS Box --><\/p>\n<div class=\"distroscale-cls-box\" style=\"width: 100%;height: 300px;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><!-- END CLS Box --><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere were, however, some seventy-five of our first families who never came to our theater. As an unsolved human problem this, of course, wouldn\u2019t do, so I went to the bat to see what was the matter\u2014and here it was. It is uncomfortable and undignified to stand in line after dining on bees\u2019 knees and other rare dishes\u2014especially if you are all dolled up.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>Just a few years later, by the early 1920s, it had come to be used how we use it today\u2014to describe something delightful. And I was delighted to find <a href=\"https:\/\/news.google.com\/newspapers?nid=1314&amp;dat=19220720&amp;id=pwpWAAAAIBAJ&amp;sjid=ueEDAAAAIBAJ&amp;pg=6151,4139350\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a language column in the 1922 Spokesman-Review<\/a>\u00a0that specifically addressed the phrase. The article is titled \u201cSlang of Today Talk Tomorrow: \u2018Bee\u2019s Knees\u2019 and \u2018Cat\u2019s Pajamas\u2019 Already Giving Way to Latest \u2018Flapperese.\u2019\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>These are a few separate paragraphs from the article:\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 40px;\">Every generation has its language and it is an axiom that the slang of one generation is the common speech of the next. It is well within the memory of people not so old today when \u201cstunt\u201d was absolutely new in the vocabulary of the young.<br \/>\n\t\u2026<br \/>\n\tLast year, the \u201cbee\u2019s knees\u201d and the \u201ccat\u2019s pajamas\u201d came in for attention of the young and this year brings its crop of foolish words.<br \/>\n\t\u2026<br \/>\n\tThe jazz hounds of this generation love to use the long and ugly adjectives like revolting, nauseating, and disgusting. Vile is a favorite word also, and lurid has its admirers.\n<\/p>\n<p>So, <em>the bee\u2019s knees<\/em> and <em>the cat\u2019s pajamas<\/em> were hot slang around 1921. I only wish that the article had a byline because I\u2019d love to acknowledge the author; it\u2019s rare for me to come across something that so specifically pinpoints something I\u2019m researching.\n<\/p>\n<h2>The Song \u2018Bees Knees\u201d Helped the Phrase Stick<\/h2>\n<p>In 1923, a huge and influential music publishing firm called Leo Feist released a song called \u201cBees Knees,\u201d which seems likely to have helped the phrase stick in people\u2019s minds. I found a snippet of the sheet music, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.creativehotlist.com\/profile\/treinalda\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Teresa Reinalda<\/a>, a friend and an actress and visual artist sang it for me so we can hear what it may have sounded like.

It appears that using \u201can animal\u2019s something\u201d to describe a wonderful, excellent, or outstanding thing or person was simply a linguistic trend at the time.
