it's just a saying. :D

honestly russ, i dont know if i've ever heard of the cat's banana before. sure sounds interesting. :shock:

i thought that it was the cat's "pajamas"

I think it's the "cat's bandana". With shades. And a fruity drink with an umbrella in it.

The cat's pajamas (and the cat's meow, the cat's whiskers), was a very popular expression in the 1920s, associated with the daring and unconventional jazz-age flappers. H.L. Mencken describes the flapper as a young woman who "has forgotten how to simper; she seldom blushes; and it is impossible to shock her." The lexicographers William and Mary Morris suggest that these "cat" expressions may have originated even earlier, first used in girls' schools. Alternatively, some sources attribute coinage to Tad Dorgan, sportswriter and cartoonist. The original use was definitely American, but the cat's pyjamas, the cat's miaow also caught on in England.

 

For the record, I like Cat's Bananas better Russ.

Thanks for the history lesson weisforprez :lol:...russ you better just stick with the more common expressions :D

It was interesting. Like it's the real coconuts. Groucho "I once shot an eliphant in my pajamas. How it got into my pajamas I'll never know."

i thought that it was the cat's "pajamas"
