Spittoon
A spittoon is a receptacle made for spitting into, especially by users of chewing and dipping tobacco. It is also known as a cuspidor, although that term is also used for a type of spitting sink used in dentistry. James Joyce thought cuspidor to be the most beautiful word in the English language. "Spittoon" can also be slang American English for any receptacle used to hold spit, although the term "spitter" is more common. Similar vessels for spitting had been used in Southwest Asia for centuries. Spittoons appeared both in the United States and the United Kingdom under the same name about 1840. It has been suggested that the name was in part onomatopoeia.
