fishbowl
Round pet tank
A fishbowl is a round glass container for keeping pet fish, typically goldfish.
The transparent, exposed nature of the bowl makes it a metaphor for lack of privacy: Living in a small town is like living in a fishbowl.
A fishbowl can also be any glass-walled space where people are visible to observers: The conference room felt like a fishbowl.
