The 'Jamestown' set was so convincing. It had been raining for a few days before we started filming, and when we turned up, we were knee-high in mud.

Sensory Clues

Be careful—'ripe' means ready to eat, not overripe or too soft, which may imply decay.

Not Overripe

Ripe can metaphorically suggest that a situation has fully developed and is ready for action.

Metaphoric Use

'Ripe for' something usually implies a positive opportunity or a suitable moment.

Positive Character

Smell and Taste

Sometimes 'ripe' suggests being close to spoiling, especially with pungent aromas.

Near Spoilage

In informal contexts, 'ripe' can be sarcastic, signaling annoyance with excess or extremes.
