"Ripped" and "Shredded."

What the heck do they mean, exactly? Back in my day, we called muscular "buff"...is this the same thing?

I'm a girl...do I want to be ripped? Or shredded? Or neither?

    I'm pretty sure I don't want to be ripped ... I get a picture in my head of a girl standing there and you can see several muscle lumps pudging in her arms and legs (maybe even stomache).

    What's shredded?

    It's pretty much all the same thing, showing muscle tone.

    I went drinking last night and got "ripped".
    My boss didn't like my work and he "shredded" me.
    A piano landed on my head and now I'm "toned."

    Questions?

    Definitely neither for me then. I mean, I want to be toned but if I start seeing deep creases I'm going back to yoga.
