rip to a real one

An expression of acknowledgement and respect to someone or something, especially after a loss. In its most serious context it can reference a real dead person, but is used more often in trivial matters such as when a favorite restaurant closes down.
Etymology consists of RIP, an acronym/initialism of Rest In Peace, and real one, someone or something that is great or significant.
Person 1: Did you hear that the pub closed down?
Person 2: Nooo, their Irish nachos were the bomb! Rip to a real one.

The word means the word

The word began in 1988 when people wanted a long word to describe wanting a long word to be accepted as a real long word. In 1992, the word was accepted as "This is a long paragraph that i hope will be a real word so please accept this because it is a genuine word". By 1993, the word was one of the most widely used words referring to a long word to describe wanting a long word to be accepted as a real long word. In 2001, the word was used 2 times by world leaders and in 2009 the word was lost.

But...

In 2023 the word resurfaced and is now a genuine word.
Eg. This is a long paragraph that i hope will be a real word so please accept this because it is a genuine word

keepin it real

A phrase coined in the black community that has devolved from behaving with a sense of maturity, integrity, and pride to just acting ignorant and combative at any given time.

Guy 2: "Yeah, keepin it real dumb."
