The facts on the card

- Booby prizes are typically worthless, but they are sometimes jokingly coveted as an object of pride.
- Notable examples of booby prizes include the wooden spoon, which originated at the University of Cambridge as an award for the lowest grade in a mathematics exam before becoming popular in sports, and the title of lanterne rouge, given to the last-place finisher of the Tour de France.
- The word booby stems from the Spanish bobo meaning silly, which in turn came from the Latin balbus meaning stammering, the word booby to mean dunce appeared in 1599.
