cats pajamas

1920s Lingo describing someone (something) who is great, incredible or special. Usually indicating stylishness or innovation. Pajamas were a relatively new fashion in the 1920s. The term "cat" was beginning to be used as a term to describe the out going and unconventional jazz-age flappers.

The Cat's Pajamas

1920s slang... someone or something wonderful or remarkable.

The other definition says it's from the '50s... In the 50s, there was a strong nostalgic fad of everything 1920s, which is why this term may have been thought of as from the '50s.

Ain't she just the Cat's pajamas?!

Cat's Pajama's

Awesome, very good. Apparently coined back in the 1920's, but it is still in use today.

Spike: I don't believe it! After a huge setback, Applejack is back at the front of the pack!

Pinkie Pie: She's the head of the pack, all right. The pick of the litter! The CAT'S PAJAMA'S! Oh, wait! Why would Applejack take some poor kitty's PJ's? That's not very sporting of her.

Cat’s Pajamas

A good midwestern description of one great gal or guy.

Kinda like when you have an asshole who is bullying someone and instead of leaving them hanging, you answer the bully by saying β€œno man, you got it all wrong-they are the cat’s pajamas”
