right on
Affirmation of agreement
Right on is an exclamation of enthusiastic agreement or approval, popular in 1960s and 70s counterculture but still current: Right on, brother!
It can also mean exactly correct: Your analysis was right on.
As an adjective, right-on (often hyphenated) describes someone or something politically progressive or socially aware, sometimes with a hint of mockery: her right-on views about recycling.
