Having cleared this this one with the powers that be...

"The Dogs Bollocks"

I had no idea of the origins or root of this - simply that it is in common use (vulgar) an NOT for polite conversation!, for 'the absolute best'. Generally applied to an item, but can be extended to exciting experiences.

eg. "His car is T.D.B." or "That flight was T.D.B."

I think the origin is from dog owners noticing the amount of time the average dog dedicates a day to licking his testicles.(Bollocks)
