Cuspidor
A cuspidor is a large bowl, often of metal, serving as a receptacle for spit, usually from snuff dipping or tobacco chewing. Generally considered to be the same as a spittoon, although spittoons tend to be shorter than cuspidors. The word comes from the Portuguese “cuspir” meaning to spit which itself comes from the Latin “conspuere” meaning to spit upon.
Toreador,
Don’t spit upon the floor,
Use the cuspidor,
That’s what it’s for.
