1947 citing in Archie Comic of "butthole." What did it mean?

[David A. Daniel]

I wonder if that is the ONLY movie citation (or one of the very few) as it
is the one I was going to cite as well. Cuspidor also of course figures
prominently in
Toreador
Don't spit on the floor
Use the cuspidor
That's what it's for
(usually with stylized ay's at the end of each line...)

A spittoon plays prominently in "Rio Bravo" (1959), with John Wayne and
Dean Martin.
