RIB
Coast guard craft
A rib is one of the curved bones forming the chest cavity, protecting the heart and lungs.
By extension, rib describes any curved structural support: the ribs of an umbrella, a ship's hull, or a Gothic vault.
A rib of meat includes the bone and surrounding flesh: barbecued ribs, prime rib.
To rib someone is to tease them good-naturedly: His friends ribbed him about his haircut.
