Still Learning rabbit - rebate

[captainbob]

For years the word used for the line where the planks meet the keel has been called the rabbit line.  Recently I have been seeing it called the rebate.  So I looked it up to see if I was wrong all these years.  Here is what I found.

 

The line where the planks meet the keel is the rabbit line.  The groove that is cut on that line is the rebate. 

 

Thought there might be others that would like to know.

In this case, rabbit is spelled rabbet, in which the rabbeted edge is formed by a rebate.

Just so we're all clear on this.  :-)

However, a recessed edge on a carrot has been rabbited. (old cabinet maker joke).

How about ribbited? That's when you get a frog caught in your planking. :-)

Think there was a Mr. Fud who seemed to have a lot of wabbit problems, never heard what became of him.
