ream
Five hundred sheets
A ream is a quantity of paper, traditionally 480 sheets but now usually 500.
The word extends to large quantities generally: She produced reams of documentation.
To ream is to enlarge or shape a hole with a rotating tool.
In vulgar slang, to ream someone is to penetrate them anally, or figuratively to criticize harshly: The boss reamed him out for the mistake.
