Ripper, in this context, is an Australian slang term used to express extreme approval or to signify that something or someone is extremely good, exceptional, or outstanding. This term can refer to a wide array of subjects including people, events, experiences, or any concept. It is often used in conversation to show admiration, satisfaction, or positive surprise. For example, if someone says, "That concert was a ripper," it means the concert was truly remarkable and impressive.

Example

1. "The concert last night was a real ripper; the band played all their best hits." 2. "That new restaurant downtown is a ripper. They have the best sushi in town." 3. "We had a ripper of a vacation this year. We visited so many incredible places." 4. "The football game was a ripper, with both teams giving their best till the end." 5. "The party you threw was a ripper; our friends are still talking about it."

Interesting fact

Ripper is often associated with the infamous serial killer 'Jack the Ripper' who terrified the streets of London in the late 1800s. But did you know that 'Ripper' is also Aussie slang that is used in a positive context? In Australia, 'ripper' is an expression of delight or approval, similar to saying 'awesome' or 'fantastic'. It's really great to note that despite its notoriously grim historical background, in a different context, the term 'ripper' can turn a conversation around and make it a truly rip-roaring, ripper moment!
