good on you
Aussie congratulations phrase
Good on you is an expression of approval or congratulation, common in Australian and British English.
It acknowledges someone's achievement, good behavior, or admirable choice: You finished the marathon? Good on you!
The phrase carries warmth without being effusive—a casual pat on the back rather than formal praise.
