1920s Slang Or "Are You Hep. Cat?" Last night my sheik took me to a ritzy speakeasy. Everyone in the place was a hepcat, and the music was the bee's knees. The band leader was so hep he sounded like Benny Goodman on the licorice stick. The canary sang some swell songs, and we danced until our dogs barked. That evening was the cat's meow!
