Moss Wizard@aby an ex of mine had each one of her friends (all artists of one sort or another) draw bees, which she then got tattooed—but not on her knees, at least not at that point in time.
Abhijit Menon-Sen@aby Wouldn't they be the knee bees?
@amenonsen - you forgot to start your reply with "well, actually.."
@aby I'm sorry. I didn't realise it would come across that way, but I can see now how it would.
Birds Books and Bullshit@amenonsen @aby WeLl AcTuAlLy the word order (and possessive) dictates what you're referencing.
The Knees' Bees are the bees that belong to the knees.
The Knees Bees are bees whose distinguishing feature is knees.
The Bees' Knees are the knees that belong to the bees, but they don't have to be knees on the bees themselves.
The Bees Knees are the knees whose distinguishing feature is bees.
Please do tag me if you ever need your own joke explained to you again in the future.
@NanoBookReview - if only the phrase "the bees knees" had a colloquial usage that was not talking about bees or knees.
Oh wait.
