It's a British term. Like saying something is the bee's knees or the cat's pajamas.






Confused yet?

I believe it's actually the dog's bollocks and it means...excellent, the absolute apex...no doubt coined from dogs' habit of licking the aforementioned organs in preference to almost any other activity. from the Phrase Finder



Sidenote: Silver, can ya upload your sig to another location...thanks! :smile:

REDNECK territory here. A 'neck around my town hung something similar, very low, and put bolts into the bottom so they'd spark while draging on the road.

Truck nuts...

From http://peevish.co.uk/slang

dog's bollocks Noun. The best. E.g."This song is the dog's bollocks." Cf. 'cat's whiskers', 'bee's knees' and 'mutt's nuts'.

Interesting term. I guess it is appropriate for the MINI.
