When I was a kid, a toy manufacturer called Meccano made sets of metal brackets and fixings for the budding engineer amongst the 5 to 10 year olds.
The sets were supplied in two standards: "Box Standard" and "Box Deluxe"
Over the years both phrases have been corrupted and derivated into common slang.
Box Standard became "Bog Standard" meaning the very least you might expect from anything the term might be applied to, it has no extras or enhancements.
On the other hand, Box Deluxe has become an expression for the very best you could hope for and corrupted to "Dog's Bollocks" Also known as, "The Mutts Nuts" and, "The Terriers Testicles"
Airstreams are "The Dogs" That's why I like Thursdays!
