How do you feel when someone calls you the 'bees knees'?

[Still-alive]

‘Amongst the shocking and fun-loving flappers of America in the 1920s there was a vogue for concocting bizarre phrases that compared something deemed to be “the best” with improbable or non-existent parts of animal anatomy.’ They guess that ‘bees knees’ ‘probably survives on the strength of its pleasing rhyme’.

Why thank ya. i love being compared to random animal parts

Whaju call me bruh?

I would say they are 'swell' themselves

Well golly gee Wilikers!

Still a better compliment than 'based'

Haha no one has ever called me that before. I have heard it used but never been called that. We have some really odd sayings that people use where I live. It is mostly those that live out in the country areas that have the most unusual ones.

"Land sakes" is one that sticks out in my mind. It is just another way of saying for goodness sakes. It is just so silly to me. Anyways, I would take it as a compliment if someone called me the bees knees.

Bee’s knees is a compliment, I’d have a positive reaction and thank them.
I’d also compliment them.

Great, but while I'm kinda old, that expression dates to my parents' generation.(My father was born June 8,1913 and my mother July 19,1917.)
