JUKEBOX - When were you born?

The term "jukebox" came into use in the United States around 1940, apparently derived from the familiar usage "juke joint", derived from the Gullah word "juke" or "joog" meaning disorderly, rowdy, or wicked.

"Juke joint" (or jook joint) is the vernacular term for an informal establishment featuring music, dancing, gambling, and drinking, primarily operated by African American people in the southeastern United States. 

Another closely related term is "Juke house" which is a small roadside establishment in the southeastern United States where you can eat and drink and dance to music provided by a jukebox

 Interesting, isn't it? Words we didn't have the foggiest idea where they come from!
