    the bee's knees is still commonly used in England, especially London. We also use 'The Duck's Nuts' or the more commonly used 'the dog's bollocks'

      That is super interesting! We did not know it was still used in England, thank you for your comment! 🤩 I love the other alternatives for "the bee's knees" 😂

      @@Unbounded_education I was kinf of worried about it because I know that bees knees is an expression that I've heard quite alot and I was kind worried that it's because I'm old fashioned or something (been known to watch things like the honeymooners or the three stuges)

      @@LordNorthern well, turns out it is NOT old fashioned in all English speaking countries! But even if it was, it's awesome that some people still use old expressions, it helps to keep them alive and makes the language more diverse! 🤩

    Today "hipster" has a bit of a judgmental connotation. As in someone who's trying really hard to show how different he/she is.
    For instance, a hipster would sport a flip-phone in 2024 just to show that they're not buying into the smart phone trend.
