ridgy
Marked with crests
Ridgy describes something that has ridges—raised lines, edges, or elongated elevations on a surface.
A ridgy landscape features prominent ridges or undulating terrain, while ridgy skin might show visible lines or creases.
In Australian slang, ridgy or ridgy-didge means genuine or authentic, roughly equivalent to "the real deal." The ridgy texture of the shell made it easy to grip.
