I remember college kids I was around 25 years ago saying it, so it must have had some staying power.
The "bees knees" thing is definitely a 1920s-30s expression, so someone born in 1908 would have been prime for picking that up.
My granddad lived 1888-1988, and he had all sort of dated expressions that I thought were cool. His favorite term of endearment for us grandkids was, "mutton heads". Most people don't even know what mutton is, these days.
None can love freedom heartily, but good men; the rest love not freedom, but license.
--John Milton
Only digging in on the position of the truth – yes, I defend guns because guns are useful for killing criminals and tyrants – is going to be successful. Only the truth shall set you free.
