Anyone watching Copa America?

[CAPSLOCK]

on a high note Guzman isn't such a bad player and DeRosario at times has moments of brilliance.

So does Lee Trundle

Sane observers wouldn't touch him with a bargepole either

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

What is two rungs below shite?

the knees?

Canada is/are the knees of international football. Funny, it doesn't sound as bad as we are.

"Canada is/are the knees of international football"
"Canada is/are the bee's knees of international football"

See?

Incidentally, does "bee's knees" come from a corrupted "business" - "eet's the beesnees"?

Alas, no although it has been suggested.

A bee's "corbiculae", or pollen-baskets, are located on its tibiae (midsegments of its legs - knees).
The phrase "the bee's knees," meaning "the height of excellence," became popular in the U.S. in the 1920s, along with "the cat's whiskers" (possibly from the use of these in radio crystal sets), "the cat's pajamas" (pyjamas were still new enough to be daring), and similar phrases which made less sense and didn't endure: "the eel's ankle," "the elephant's instep," "the snake's hip."

Stories in circulation about the origin of
"The Bee's Knees" phrase include: "b's and e's," short for "be-alls and end-alls;" and a variation/revision of the term "business."
