What is the right term for the little hump in a shower pan or tub that (theoretically) keeps water from sliding under the tile & into the wall? You know, the little bump on the tub the tile overlaps......

Around here here it's referred to as a tile lip. The part the tile comes down to is the tile ledge.

Yes. It's getting bad. I've been blanking out on some of the stupidest stuff imaginable.

This always happens when the weather finally turns warm, sunny, and the lake warms up so I don't have to wear the neoprene anymore. Think there's a correlation?
