What it means
Something that’s absolutely brilliant or impressive, the kind of thing that makes you go, that’s a corker. Works for a screamer of a goal, a proper bargain, a joke that lands, or even a day out that somehow goes right. Feels a bit old-school and slightly dad-ish, but it still hits when you’re genuinely chuffed.
Usage examples
"Did you see that goal last night? Absolute corker, top bins. Pub went mental, and Dave launched a knee slide and soaked his own pint."
"That last goal was an absolute corker, the whole pub jumped up at once."
"She told a corker of a story at dinner and we were still laughing on the way home."
