The best way to say something is
neat-o, awesome, or
swell. The phrase "
ripe" is very relaxed, never goes out of style, and people will never laugh at you for using it, very convenient for people like me who don't care about what's "in."
Mitchell: Hey man, i found a dog in the basement downstairs!
Oliver: Thats so
ripe man!
Simeon: Thinking about doing some
burnouts down the road.
Brendan: Sounds ripe man! Lets do this together.
