Usage notes
The phrase is never used ironically in reference to actual sleep or rest for the living; it refers only to the dead.
Typically found as an epitaph on a tombstone or in an obituary (and hence on graves in Halloween decorations, cartoons, etc.).
The phrase is sometimes used as an epithet when referring to a deceased person, as in “This university was founded by Thomas Jefferson, RIP.”
Also used as an indirect way of stating that someone or something is (literally or figuratively) dead.

Etymology 3
Repeat-induced point mutation
Originally coined in Selker et al. (1987) as an acronym for en rearrangement induced premeiotically, which was later renamed en repeat-induced point mutation in Cambareri et al. (1989).
Pronunciation

en ɪp 1
Noun
-
en molecular biology Repeat-induced point mutation, a process by which both copies of duplicated sequences are mutated.
en 1987-12-4 Eric U. Selker; Edward B. Cambareri; Bryan C. Jensen; Kenneth R. Haack Rearrangement of duplicated DNA in specialized cells of Neurospora Cell 51 5 750 The RIP process can be extremely efficient. A linked duplication of 6 kb of Neurospora DNA, whose elements were separated by 7.5 kb of bacterial and unique Neurospora sequences, never survived a cross unrearranged.
en 1989-6-30 Edward B. Cambareri; Bryan C. Jensen; Eric Schabtach; Eric U. Selker Repeat-Induced G-C to A-T Mutations in Neurospora Science 244 4912 1573 Thus, the RIP process results in point mutations, consistent with the results from the heteroduplex analyses. On the basis of this information, we suggest changing the name of the phenomenon from "rearrangement induced premeiotically" to "repeat-induced point mutation."

The genome sequence of the filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa Nature 422 860 https://www.nature.com/articles/nature01554 To investigate the impact of RIP on protein families in Neurospora, genes were clustered into ‘multigene families’ on the basis of an all versus all comparison of protein sequences (see Methods). https://web.archive.org/web/20250212065310/https://www.nature.com/articles/nature01554 12 February 2025
