Topper
Old Hollywood title
A topper is something that goes on top.
A hat, especially a top hat, is a topper.
A remark that outdoes someone else's joke or story is a topper: Just when I thought the evening couldn't get funnier, she came in with a topper.
In cooking, a topper is whatever goes on top of a dish—cheese, sauce, crumbled bacon.
Something described as a topper is outstanding: That was a topper of a performance.
