This man is the bee's knees, Arthur, he is the wasp's nipples. He is, I would go so far as to say, the entire set of erogenous zones of every major flying insect of the Western world.
The quote from Douglas Adams' "So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish" humorously elevates a man's worthiness by comparing him to various playful and exaggerated attributes of insects. The phrase "the bee's knees" suggests he is top-notch or extraordinary, while "the wasp's nipples" adds a whimsical and absurd touch, highlighting his uniqueness.
Adams continues this playful imagery by suggesting the man embodies all erogenous zones of major flying insects, which amplifies the humor and absurdity. This style reflects the author's comedic approach, where he blends wit with surreal comparisons to create a memorable and entertaining character description.
