Definition
Excellent, first-rate, or remarkable; something or someone of outstanding quality or ability.
Etymology
Variant of 'crackerjack' (from 'crack,' meaning 'excellent' in 19th-century slang, plus 'jack,' a general term for a person). The Cracker Jack snack brand (1896) popularized this spelling.
Kelly Says
Cracker Jack candy's original name came directly from 'crackerjack' slang—the company's marketing was so successful that the snack brand name became more famous than the slang itself, reversing the usual direction of naming.
