Phrase rip
Text The word "rip," in this podcast, means a tear, or where a piece of fabric has opened up into two parts or pieces: "There was a rip at the bottom of the pants, so she cut off the legs and made them into a pair of shorts." The phrase "to let (it/something) rip" means to make a car or a machine go as fast as it can: "Let's see how fast this car can go. Let it rip!" A "rip-off" is something that was too expensive and a waste of one's money: "What a rip-off! That movie was terrible. I wish we hadn't bought tickets to see it." Finally, as an acronym, "RIP" means "rest in peace," and is often written on tombstones (pieces of stone above a grave, where a body is buried): "Here lies Anna (1842-1895). RIP."
