Quote: The word “jukebox” came into use in the United States beginning in 1940, apparently derived from the familiar usage “juke joint”, derived from the Gullah word juke, which means “bawdy”.6 Manufacturers of jukeboxes tried to avoid using the term, associated with unreputable places, for many years.7

I never knew why they called it a juke box. I was born in the 40’s – too young, I guess.

I assume it derived from “Juke Joints” – dance halls in the 30’s and ’40’s.

Some phrases just speak “Romance.” Others, not so much.
