Revision as of 03:02, 8 April 2006 by 65.3.68.233 (talk) (sp (recog'''n'''ition) and rearranging)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)A booby prize is a joke prize, usually given in recognition of a terrible performance or a last-place finish. For instance, if there was a contest and a person scored last, he may get a joke prize such as a worthless coin. Booby prizes are sometimes coveted as an object of pride and humor. The etymology may have something to do with a group of bird species known as boobies.
Example: Bob won the booby prize in the NCAA tournament pool after his choices made a hasty exit.
