curbstone
Sidewalk's raised edge
A curbstone is one of the stones or concrete blocks that form a curb—the raised edge along a street or sidewalk.
The word sometimes appears figuratively to suggest something informal or amateurish, as in curbstone opinion or curbstone critic, implying judgments made casually from the sidelines rather than with expertise.
