The 1920s slang "it's the berries" (meaning that something is impressive, desirable, fancy) was not, according to
Steven D. Price, connected to the expression "the bee's knees." That means that these "berries" were pollinated in an untraditional manner! The speech bubble reads, "I guess I'm not the 'berries'?" From Middle Tennesee's 1927 yearbook.
