different between chink vs rip
chink
English
Pronunciation
- (UK, US) IPA(key): /t???k/

Etymology 1
Of uncertain origin; but apparently an extension (with formative -k) of Middle English chine, from Old English ?ine (“a crack, chine, chink”), equivalent to chine +? -k.
Alternatively, the -k may represent an earlier unrecorded diminutive, perhaps from Middle English *chinek, making it equivalent to chine +? -ock (diminutive ending).

Pronunciation
- enPR: r?p, IPA(key): /??p/

Etymology 1
From Middle English rippen, from earlier ryppen (“to pluck”), ultimately from Proto-Germanic *rupjan?, *rupp?n? (compare West Frisian rippe, ripje, roppe, ropje (“to rip”), Dutch dialectal rippen, Low German ruppen, German Low German röpen, German rupfen), intensive of *raupijan? (compare Old English r?pan, r?epan ‘to plunder’, West Frisian rippe ‘to rip, tear’, German raufen 'to rip'), causative of Proto-Indo-European *roub ~ reub- (compare Albanian rrabe ‘maquis’, possibly Latin rubus ‘bramble’), variant of *reup- ‘to break’.

- 2000, Andrew Short, Beaches of the Queensland Coast: Cooktown to Coolangatta, page 38,
- Rhythmic beaches consist of a rhythmic longshore bar that narrows and deepens when the rip crosses the breaker, and in between broadens, shoals and approaches the shore. It does not, however, reach the shore, with a continuous rip feeder channel feeding the rips to either side of the bar.
- 2005, Paul Smitz, Australia & New Zealand on a Shoestring, Lonely Planet, page 466,
- Undertows (or ‘rips’) are the main problem. If you find yourself being carried out by a rip, the important thing to do is just keep afloat; don?t panic or try to swim against the rip, which will exhaust you. In most cases the current stops within a couple of hundred metres of the shore and you can then swim parallel to the shore for a short way to get out of the rip and make your way back to land.
