a riblike structure or pattern

a fleecy sweatshirt with ribbing at neck, cuffs, and hem

this specimen lacks the strong ribbing seen on many brachiopods

good-natured teasing

he took a good deal of ribbing with the utmost good humour

mark with or form into ridges

the road was ribbed with furrows of slush

tease good-naturedly

the first time I appeared in the outfit I was ribbed mercilessly
