Ripper is the slang term for a type of hot dog. The name is derived from a hot dog which is deep fried in oil, which sometimes causes the casing to burst, or "rip".[1][2][3][4]

"Rippers" were featured in the Travel Channel special "Deep Fried Paradise"[5] and served as a major plot point in a first-season episode of the internet serial "Ripster's" which centers on the Pennsylvania tavern of the same name that serves a similar type of hot dog.[citation needed]
