Quiz #3

Pick the real explanation of the following phrase:

"A BOOBY PRIZE"


Is a token gift for the loser of a game. It originates from:

(A) The booby bird which was the victim of an early American army ritual. A booby was set loose in a garrison courtyard and the last five soldiers to pluck a feather from it would have to undertake the menial cleaning chores for the following month.

(B) The pupil that came lowest in a school class or competition. He or she would be awarded a prize to make them feel better which was called the booby prize.

(C) The term booby trap meaning an unexpected event. As there was no reason to expect a prize for losing, any such prize became known as a booby.
