We get "It's the bee's knees".

The Brits get "It's the mutt's nuts".

Life isn't fair sometimes.
 
Well as Aussies we got "the ducks guts"...

Yep... 1-0 the brits...
 
"The bee's knees" !?! What brought up that bit of 1920s slang ?
One might as well say that one is 'hep' .
 
Anyone who still says "bee's knees" is really L7. Total squaresville. A real flat tire.

>>>Actually we are more likely to say 'The Dogs Bollocks'

Which is actually Cockney rhyming slang for "rocks". Strange, that.

Agreed. I have never heard of "mutt's nuts".

I would take an instant and irreversible dislike to anybody who uttered such a phrase in earshot myself.

The Dog's Bollocks is used more widely,
 
For some reason,

and I really have no clue as to why,

but I just thought of the expression "knee high to a pig's eye"

That'll be a one-off as you can't say Dog's Bollocks on prime-time TV.

Judging by Kirstie's reaction, I expected as much. Still, it was a cute expression.

(I love it when people find ways to get past the censors!)
 
They also get to say Bobs your uncle...we never say that. what the hell does that mean anyway?
 
Herry, than you for that bit of trivia. And it does make logical sense.
 
We also use 'the cats whiskers' in the UK.

A retort to 'Bobs' your Uncle' is 'and Charley's your Aunt' - presumably from the play 'Charley's Aunt'. The meaning of which I've always thought was 'I won't be lucky enough to have Bob as my Uncle, I'll end up with a fake' - a bit like a 'wolf in sheep's clothing'. LOL

I used to know a family from the Nottingham area. They'd emigrated to Canada and started their family here. The husband was always saying, "Bob's your uncle."

Anyway, one summer, his cousin and his wife came over to Canada for a visit. My friend said, "Bob's your uncle" and his cousin replied "and Fanny's your aunt."

Another thing the cousin was prone to say was (typed the way he said it), "It's black over Biww's muvver's."

I thought it was neat. They said I had the most delightful accent. ..|
 
Hey Herry, thanks for the info. I've met many from the UK in my travels around. You're the first one to be able to expalin that Bobs your uncle thing. It makes perfect sense! That Bob took care of his family!

In a similar way, my nan used to say the 'cat's pyjamas'.

Then again, she was as mad as a box of frogs towards the end. If laughter is the best medicine, it didn't work - we laughed at her all of the time and she didn't get any better.
