>If someone says "lipped drawer", I am pretty sure the lip is on the drawer. If they say "rebated drawer", I'd be confused as to whether the drawer is *in* some kind of rebate or *has* a rebate. Mind you, I am confused easily, but maybe the terminology is for the likes of me.

>OK, sure, but when I hear lip I think something like cockbead, not just a plain old rebate. You could say the drawer front or door is rebated around its perimeter.
