South African slang for something that's cool, excellent, or just generally great. Kiff is the go-to positive adjective in South African English — versatile enough to describe a sick surf break, a great party, a tasty meal, or a solid mate. It's upbeat and casual, deeply embedded in Cape Town beach and youth culture. When something is kiff, there's no higher informal praise.
Bru, that braai last night was so kiff — good food, good people, perfect weather.
