    Catkins,

    The cat's pyjamas mean you are great! Here is some insight:
    "I think the idea is that on a bee, knees are strictly a luxury. The phrase originated in 1920s U.S. slang, which had a whole slue of such phrases: "the eel's ankle", "the flea's eyebrows", "the clam's garter", "the snake's hips", "the elephant's instep", "the kipper's knickers", "the cat's pyjamas", "the canary's tusks", "the sardine's whiskers". The fact that "the bee's knees" rhymes may have assisted its survival."

    And in answer to your jimjams question, gnomes don't wear jimjams. We don't believe in such modern fads!
