Dog's bollocks

This has been defined elsewhere, correctly, as British slang for "the best".

The interesting thing about its possible origin is that the word cynosure, meaning "something brilliant that attracts attention" derives from two Greek words, Kynos (meaning "dog's" or "of the dog") + oura (meaning "tail"). This meaning of "the dog's tail" was used at one time to refer to the constellation Ursa Minor, which is bright and attracts attention.

So: did some classically-versed wag originate the phrase?

Dog's Breakfast

The human brain and what it's worth, according to author Kurt Vonnegut.

How could he have figured it out on his own using only that dog's breakfast between his ears?

dog's bollocks

Outstanding - from 'stands out like dogs bollocks'. Can be shortend to just 'the bollocks' and maintain its meaning, not to be confused with 'a load of bollocks' which has the complete opposite meaning

'now I've gas flowed the head of my Yamaha it's the dog's bollocks'

'Ive tried those tytes on the Ducati but the're a load of bollocks

Dog's Dick

Meaning the Best, much like you would use "the bee's knees" or "the cats meow".

"Man there's nothing like going to wacky wings and then to the gold, it's the dog's dick!"

Dog's Breakfast

When you're a in a mad morning rush & dont have time to clean your teeth/deoderise or shower. You only have time for what the dog would do before he went out bum sniffing for the day. A piss & followed by dipping your face in a bowl of water

Dog's Ass

A way to express the fact, the pipe you are smoking with friends is empty, and only ash is left. Other examples: beat or dead.

I can't believe you handed me this bowl to smoke...It's a dog's ass!
