Have you ever wondered how the term the "Cats Pajamas" originated? Well, here is what I found..
1) Cats Pajamas - 1920s lingo describing someone (something) who is great, incredible, special or the best at what they do. Usually indicating stylishness or innovation. During the 1920's, pajamas were a relatively new fashion and the term "cat" was beginning to be used as a term to describe the outgoing and unconventional jazz-age flappers by the 1920 hipsters. Also, the term "cats pajamas" may be used to describe another person who is genial and fun to be with.
So next time you find someone who is stylish, hip, fun or cool, why not say, "Wow, you're the cats pajamas!"
