I was once asked by an octogenarian to replace the word "cool" with better words such as "neat". He was really asking my entire generation, I happen to be the only one listening. He is not fond of that word and neat is simply a better one. For Jim's sake, I will try.
Today, I was reminded of the idiom "the bee's knees". I have heard it before but had not a clue what it meant. Results, the expression means excellence or the height of excellence. The reason for the saying could be "because bees carry pollen back to the hive in sacs on their legs. The allusion is to the concentrated goodness found around the bee's knees." (Just in case you were wondering.)
