sin-bin

Hockey timeout seat

A sin-bin is a penalty box in hockey or rugby where players serve time for infractions.

The term extends to any temporary holding area for wrongdoers: The drunk tank is basically a sin-bin for public intoxication.

In British slang, it can mean a place for illicit encounters or misbehavior.
