Then get a better dictionary, or use on of the free, online ones.

Definition of SOAPBOX
: an improvised platform used by a self-appointed, spontaneous, or
informal orator; broadly : something that provides an outlet for
delivering opinions
Soap used to be delivered to local general stores in sturdy wooden
boxes, a bit longer than milk cartons. Flipped top down on the grass of
a public area, the bottom was used as a speaking platform.
Being sturdy, kids sometimes put wheels on them to ride in and even
race. Hence, 'soapbox (or soap box) derby'.
>> Please be more clear and not talk like the high school kids.
Please give up the insults. I have stopped reading your repetitive posts
and only saw this one because Bryan quoted it.
