Eave drainage channels
Gutters are channels that collect and direct water, especially the troughs along the edges of roofs that carry rainwater away from buildings: The gutters are clogged with leaves.
Streets have gutters at the curb for drainage.
The gutter suggests degradation or squalor: born in the gutter, gutter language.
In bowling, the gutters are the troughs flanking the lane.
In printing and bookbinding, the gutter is the blank space where facing pages meet at the spine.
