although I’ve seen the expression in books and heard it in movies I have never heard anyone I know say it. I think it’s out of fashion now: US, old-fashioned + informal. used to say that someone or something is very appealing. I really like that car; it’s the cat’s meow.

You could try “It’s the hyena’s laugh” or “It’s the kookaburra’s laugh”. They should put those 2 animals next to each other at the zoo.

In the UK, we say….. the Cat’s whiskers …but also, the Dog’s bollox…… Spelling changed for this site. Both meaning ….something great.

After much negotiations, the dogs and cats settled on a neutral species: The Bees knees.

“The Dog’s bow wow”, it flows off the tongue a little better.

I’d really like someone famous to bring back the word “groovy”. Come on. You know Steve Jobs used to say it, right?
