Abstract: The invention is directed to providing a sound muffling cup into which an enraged person can shout to release tension while avoiding disturbing other persons. The cup comprises an elongated body portion having a substantially closed end wall at one end, and brim shaped to provide a mouthpiece at the other end. The body portion is of a size such that the fingers can be at least partially wrapped around the body portion for holding of the cup, and the mouthpiece is of a size and contour such that it can be place over the mouth with substantially the entire brim contacting the skin along a generally elliptical line spaced from the lips and on the mouth side of the nose and chin.
