How it's used
Used to describe something that is impressive, powerful, or of exceptionally high quality. It often carries a sense of admiration or surprise, similar to calling something a "beast" or "top-notch" in English. While it can be used for objects, it is frequently applied to people or performances that demonstrate remarkable skill.
Examples
The food at this restaurant is really top-tier stuff.

Common mistake
