domes
Hemispherical ceiling structures
Domes is the plural of dome—a rounded vault forming a roof or ceiling, typically hemispherical: The domes of the cathedral gleamed in the sunlight.
Dome extends to anything dome-shaped: the dome of the skull, a sports stadium with a domed roof.
In slang, domes means heads: Use your domes, people.
