rippers
Things that shred
Rippers is the plural of ripper—something or someone that rips.
A ripper can be a tool for tearing or cutting: a seam ripper removes stitches.
In Australian and British slang, a ripper is something excellent: That was a ripper of a game.
Jack the Ripper gave the word sinister overtones, so rippers sometimes suggests serial killers or violent criminals.
