Rib, taunt (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tease

This clue is a double definition.

'rib' is the first definition.
(I know that tease is a more specific form of rib)

'taunt' is the second definition.
(I know that taunt can be written as tease)

(Other definitions for tease that I've seen before include "Gently mock" , "Guy" , "Torment, tantalise" , "Banter, make gentle fun of" , "Cod" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
