A swear jar (also known as a swearing jar, cuss jar, swear box or cuss bank) is a device to help discourage people from swearing. Every time someone utters a swear word, others who witness it collect a "fine", by insisting that the offender put some money into the box. The container may be made of glass, porcelain, or metal, and may have a lid with a slot. From time to time, the accumulated money may be used for some agreed-upon purpose, or contributed to charity.

  • 脏话罐（swear jar），是一种避免人们讲髒話的物品。每次有人讲脏话时，旁人便会要求讲脏话者在罐中放一些钱当作罰金。脏话罐可以是玻璃、瓷器或金属制成的，也可以带有一个有窄缝的盖子。罐中积累的钱可以用于事先约定的用途，也可以捐给慈善组织。 脏话罐的概念大约起源于19世纪90年代，当时名为“swear box”，在20世纪10年代开始流行起来。“swear jar”这一词语大约出现于20世纪80年代的美国，在英国没有记载；1988年美国电影《》中就有人提到过“swear jar”。在20世纪80年代，脏话罐的概念的概念便已非常流行。 (zh)

  • A swear jar (also known as a swearing jar, cuss jar, swear box or cuss bank) is a device to help discourage people from swearing. Every time someone utters a swear word, others who witness it collect a "fine", by insisting that the offender put some money into the box. The container may be made of glass, porcelain, or metal, and may have a lid with a slot. From time to time, the accumulated money may be used for some agreed-upon purpose, or contributed to charity. The concept appears to have originated in the 1890s, under the name "swear box", and to have gained popularity in the 1910s. The term "swear jar" appears to have been invented in the 1980s in the United States, and is not documented in Great Britain; an early mention of a swear jar is in the 1988 U.S. movie Moving. The concept of swear box or jar became very popular in the 1980s. A swear jar might not be a physical object; instead, a notional swear jar is referred to in order to indicate someone's use of bad language has been noted. (en)
