Bee legs are segmented and have joints similar to knees. The phrase 'the bee's knees' comes from this anatomical fact. So when someone was 'the bee's knees' in the 1920s, they were anatomically sophisticated. History is layered.
Studies have shown that male cats show a preference for using their left paw, while female cats tend to use their right. Even cats have gender differences. Somehow.
