What's a rippa?
Assuming he wasn't saying "rip-off", I found this:

Ripper: Pronounced "rippa" means beaut, tippy-tops, grouse
Grouse: Rhymes with "house" - means outstanding, tremendous. Can be applied universally to all things social ... "grouse birds (women), grouse band, in fact, grouse bloody gay and hearty (great party!)"
