Your Definition
This has been defined elsewhere, correctly, as [British slang] for "the best". The [interesting] thing about its possible origin is that the word cynosure, meaning "something brilliant that attracts attention" derives from two Greek words, Kynos (meaning "dog's" or "of the dog") + oura (meaning "tail"). This meaning of "the dog's tail" was used at one time to refer to the [constellation] Ursa Minor, which is bright and attracts attention. So: did some classically-versed wag originate the phrase?
