"That was a ripper barbie. Too right it was!"
Where "Too Right" Comes From
An emphatic British expression adopted into Australian English, with "too" used as an intensifier to strengthen simple agreement into enthusiastic agreement.
It follows the same logic as other intensified agreements like "dead right," turning a plain "yes" into something far more emphatic.
How Aussies Actually Use It
A hearty way to confirm or agree with something — "that was a ripper barbie. Too right it was!" — delivered with genuine enthusiasm rather than muted acknowledgment.
It's often used to back up someone else's statement wholeheartedly, adding energy and certainty to a conversation.
