Wikipedia:

An English slang phrase coined by w:Thomas A. Dorgan. The phrase means "the 
height of excellence" and became popular in the U.S. in the 1920s,[1] along 
with bee's knees, "the cat's whiskers" (possibly from the use of these in 
radio crystal sets), and similar phrases that didn't endure: "the eel's 
ankle", "the elephant's instep", "the snake's hip" and "the capybara's 
spats".--
