swear jar
Curse word fund
A swear jar is a container where someone deposits money—usually a set amount like a quarter or dollar—each time they use profanity.
The jar enforces a penalty for cursing, often as a family game or office joke: Every time Dad says a bad word, he puts a dollar in the swear jar.
The accumulated funds typically go to charity or a shared treat.
