cribs

Barred baby beds

Cribs is the plural of crib, a bed with high slatted sides for infants.

The word extends to any small confined space—a storage bin for grain, a manger, or in British slang, an apartment or home: Nice cribs in this neighborhood.

In academic contexts, cribs are unauthorized notes used for cheating, or translations used as study aids.

To crib is to copy dishonestly or to confine.
