Dog's bollocks

Meaning very good.
Incidentally, the adjective has a somewhat strange history.
It originally comes from Mechano, a British model construction kit. When it first came out in the 50s and 60s, there were 2 different kits available - the Box Standard and the Box Deluxe.

Over time, Box Standard gave birth to the phrase Bog Standard, meaning very average.
Conversely, the spoonerism of Box Deluxe sounds very similar to Dogs Bollocks, for which the meaning of above average was attached.

That's the Dog's Bollocks!
