cup

Holds your coffee

A cup is a vessel with a characteristic bowl-like shape.

It can be used ornamentally or for drinking from.

Some decorative cups are used as prizes (Stanley Cup, Ryder Cup).

Things with roughly this shape are also called cups, such as the concave parts of a bra or the receptacle for the golf ball on a green.

When you cup your hands, you make a cuplike shape with them.

In cooking, a cup is a common measurement in the imperial system, equal to eight ounces.
