shim

1. a thin slip or wedge of metal, wood, etc., for driving into crevices, as between machine parts to compensate for wear, or beneath bedplates, large stones, etc., to level them.

2. A not-nice word for an androgynous looking person. See also: shemale.

3. A seattle based rock band.

1. You just loosen the mounting bolts and slip the shim between the axle and brake backing plate.

2. Wow, you know, I was about to call the person over there a shim, when I remembered that would be fucking mean of me.

3. The shim are my third favourite band.
