Top
There is "top ten", "top secret", "top-notch" and so on, but can you also use the word alone without connecting to another word? Like, "the movie we watched was top" or "the restaurant is top", in the sense of 'something is good'? I think I've never seen anyone use it that way, it does not seem to be common.

Thank you. Where I'm from, people actually use it that way, as a loanword which substitutes for "great" or "good", but I never saw a native speaker use it.
