cat's pajamas

The term "cat's pajamas" comes from E.B. Katz, an English tailor of the late 1700's and early 1800's, who made the finest silk pajamas for royalty and other wealth patrons. This phrase is often likened to and/or confused with the 20's term "cat's meow".

Katz's pajamas are the cat's pajamas.

Cat's Pajama's

Awesome, very good. Apparently coined back in the 1920's, but it is still in use today.

Spike: I don't believe it! After a huge setback, Applejack is back at the front of the pack!

Pinkie Pie: She's the head of the pack, all right. The pick of the litter! The CAT'S PAJAMA'S! Oh, wait! Why would Applejack take some poor kitty's PJ's? That's not very sporting of her.

Cat’s Pajamas

A good midwestern description of one great gal or guy.

Kinda like when you have an asshole who is bullying someone and instead of leaving them hanging, you answer the bully by saying “no man, you got it all wrong-they are the cat’s pajamas”

cats pajamas

A synonym for awesome. I actually coined this phrase in 1968 during a hallucination where i thought i saw a cat wearing pajamas. It was really just a dead bush.

When she took off her pajamas i thought she was the cats pajamas.
