Do you know what the idiom, the cat’s meow, means? Ok, I guess first things first. I’m assuming you know what an idiom means? No, it doesn’t mean you are an idiot.

However, you will sound like an idiot if you are talking to people who have never heard of the idioms you are using!

Definition of idiom: from online Dictionery.com –

1. a group of words whose meaning cannot be predicted from the meanings of the constituent words, as for example ( It was raining ) cats and dogs

Now did that make a lick of sense?

Here’s the definition I made up: a bunch of words put together that don’t make sense but people use it within a certain language to mean something to people who speak that language.

Don’t you think my definition is better? If you don’t, don’t bother telling me that.

So, what does this have to do with the title, The Cat’s Meow?

Well, did you know that The Cat’s Meow is an idiom that means absolutely the very best of something?

Wow, isn’t that neat? You don’t hear any dog idioms meaning such wonderful things. Do you know what “The Dog’s Bark” means?

It means a dog is barking. Woopie, very impressive.

So, from now on, make sure everything you do has The Cat’s Meow touch.
