  1. rim

    Bank is a general term for the land along the edge of a water course; it may also denote a raised portion of the bed of a river, lake, or ocean; as, the Banks of Newfoundland. A beach is a strip or expanse of incoherent wave-worn sand, which is often pebbly or full of boulders; we speak of the beach of a lake or ocean; a beach is sometimes found in the bend of a river. Strand is a more poetic term for a wave-washed shore, especially as a place for landing or embarking; as, the keel grates on the strand. The whole line of a country or continent that borders the sea is a coast. Shore is any land, whether cliff, or sand, or marsh, bordering water. We do not speak of the coast of a river, nor of the banks of the ocean, tho there may be banks by or under the sea. Edge is the line where land and water meet; as, the water's edge. Brink is the place from which one may fall; as, the river's brink; the brink of a precipice; the brink of ruin.

How to use rim in a sentence?

  1. Domien Loubry:

    I think when you get a high-scoring game the crowd can get into it. It’s a really high pace. It’s different. It’s more physical, it’s a more up-and-down pace but I like it and I think as it progresses it’s going to get even bigger, it’s an easy way to get people involved in basketball. All you need is a rim, six guys and a ball.
