EN: spittoon
The lolo's version of an ashtray, but for spit. This was the designated target for the red-orange spit from chewing 'nga-nga' (betel nut). Now mostly seen in museums or old houses, reminding us of a time before 'Bawal Dumura Dito' signs were everywhere.
From Spanish 'escupidor' (spitter, spittoon).
An old-fashioned item, not common in modern households. Often made of brass.
