corkers
Stoppers or stunners
Corkers is the plural of corker, British slang for something excellent or remarkable: That joke was a corker.
The word suggests something that settles a matter decisively—like a cork stopping a bottle.
A corker of a game, a corker of a story.
The term is old-fashioned but still appears in informal British speech.
