Summary: | rubber n The nouns '_cooneye_', '_tabbye_', '_cockneye_' have come to mean small pans of ice in the areas where those terms are used. * This word is used when referring to the sport of playing on _rubber_ _ice_. The ice is not very firm and bends easily under the weight of a person's body. It moves up and down as a body runs across. The idea is to dare your companions to follow your example and to set some dangerous stunt for them to follow. [-]SHINEYING[-] [-]NISHEYING[-] [-]_tabbys_[-] [-]_BENDYING_*[-] DICT CEN.
