crackerjacks

Highly skilled people

Crackerjacks are people of exceptional ability or quality—top performers, standouts.

The singular crackerjack works as both noun and adjective: She's a crackerjack mechanic, He did a crackerjack job on the repairs.

The term is somewhat dated, carrying a folksy, admiring tone.

Cracker Jack is also a brand of caramel-coated popcorn with peanuts.
