What's so cool about bees' knees, anyway? The bee's knees, a phrase meaning "cool" or "great," dates back to the flapper era of the 1920s. It relates to an old definition of the word "cute," referring to something small and nicely formed. The knees of a bee are just that, after all. This is part of a complete episode.
