   “A bee’s “corbiculae”, or pollen-baskets, are located on its tibiae (midsegments of its legs). The phrase “the bee’s knees”, meaning “the height of excellence”, became popular in the U.S. in the 1920s, along with “the cat’s whiskers” (possibly from the use of these in radio crystal sets), “the cat’s pajamas” (pyjamas were still new enough to be daring), and similar phrases which made less sense and didn’t endure[.]”

   As for the “cat’s meow”, well, that’s pretty self-explanatory.

   As for that last saying, it’s completely new to me and it sounds a bit spurious.

7. Do walruses purr? I’m a little worried about your extensive knowledge of walruses. It just doesn’t seem right somehow.
