Been awhile since I've heard that, last time was at a fair, funny how you get so used to these phrases that it can be tricky to explain them. Like bob's your uncle (you've got it) or it's chucking it down/raining cats and dogs (raining heavy)
A booby prize, or joke prize, can be something silly given as a sort of consolation prize. It can also be more of a mean or poetic prize given to people who "win" things like "Least Sportsmanlike Conduct" or "Worst Idea". The Razzies or the Darwin Awards could be considered as booby prizes.
Kinda funny seeing some comments about how native English speakers, British or not, don't recognize the term when I'm not even a native English speaker and do. Understandable, though, since it's kinda archaic at this point. First learned about the term from older (around early to mid 20th century) English literature.
reminds me of the tiktok where the girl's bf was exhausted after a long, shitty day at work so she was like "you can squeeze my boobs if you want" and his face lit up like it was Christmas lmao. What a mood tbh. UK English is such a silly language sometimes.
This kind of surprised me too, I’ve heard it as far back as I can remember. Maybe it’s a generational thing and fell out of everyday usage in America but not the UK? Or they were all faking not understanding it to put ERB on the spot. That’s always a serious possibility.
No, they’re not faking. I haven’t heard that term either, must be pretty archaic. I have however heard the term “playing hookie” but only from REALLY old people. Maybe it’s similar to that.
Booby prize, like booby trap, is a sort of common knowledge phrase that im shocked none of them nor the uploader were familiar with. It's a prize you don't necessarily want. A trick prize that makes a fool of you. It's like the old gameshows where you chose to replace the car you won with what's behind door #3 and you end up with a donkey instead. The meaning of "boob" here is similar to "rube", or "bumpkin". One is unsophisticated, or gullible. It is the title of a 2022 Looney Tunes short, and you can hear it being used by the Joker in Batman the Animated Series. Someone mentioned it was a boomer phrase, but it's older than that, as "Booby trap" is also the name of a 1942 Private Snafu army training film. Television was derisively labeled the "boob tube", not because there were boobs on there, but because those who used the phrase were judgemental of the content that was on it and thus the type of person who (whiled their time away on it and) derrived entertainment from it.
Liz:"boobie prize"
Everyone: stops immediately
For a brief moment. Everyone broke character LMAO
Queen ERB : Whoever lose gonna get a boobie prize
Everybody : why a loser got a better prize?????
Liz: “Boobie Prize”
*_Record Scratch_*
Everybody: _A what prize?_
0:18 i love when everyone froze for a moment here
even yagoo froze up.
Everyone was stunned by that
jaws dropped everywhere.

Booby prize(ブービー賞) is like, totally normal in Japan
I have no idea why, but it's amusing how everyone briefly questions their ears
"Booby prize" is by no means a Britishism, it's all over the entire Anglosphere.
Also, I'm completely dumbfounded that not one of them knew the term
I don't think that term is used anywhere in the America's, so that's not surprising.
@@Zeik56 It is, I've been there my whole life
Its not a "foreign" term, just an old one. More boomer than British.
Hag love.
everyone : *making much noises
ERB : "ahem... booby prize"
everyone : *silence
She just activated everyone's neurons just with that two words. She's just flexing her British vocabularies at this point xD
"Booby prize"
Everyone: **NEURONS ACTIVATED**
lol, the way the entire conversation just stopped.
They must have heard the phrase "booby trap", so "booby prize" shouldn't be THAT strange a term.

I don't know man, all i know is "booby trap" from some ps2 war games
For me it was from Optimus Prime (1984)
I love how everyone stopped

I'm also an _Exardian_ but I've never heard of that, but I have heard "wooden spoon award" used much more...
Amelia must know the term as she is a fellow Brit.
reminds me of the tiktok where the girl's bf was exhausted after a long, shitty day at work so she was like "you can squeeze my boobs if you want" and his face lit up like it was Christmas lmao. What a mood tbh.
UK English is such a silly language sometimes.
1:07 *nod.. couldn't agree more
Liz unintentionally uses an AOE
I'm from the northwestern US, and I understood that term immediately, even though the sound of it is titillating 😏
😏😏
😏😏
Who to get the attention of all holo members:
> "Booby price"
Ah yes the most bri'ish member -aside from ame- thats so bri'ish and yet doesnt like tea
have heard the term in america but its been a long time XD

Is that phrase Bri'ish? I knew of it and I'm just some American.
It's 100% a british phrase.
I am familiar with the phrase but I can understand why others would look in the wrong direction if they did not know what it meant
It's actually a real phrase, just different from what I imagined
Calli is trying her best to save the situation.
Kiara is doing her best to destroy it.
I've lived in England for 35 years and have never once heard that term lol
Your parents or someone with same generation with ERB probably knew
@@ghaida_alt5082 this guy is the same generation with ERB🤣
well, it's US term, soo little using it anymore it become obscure.
Im 36 and I've HEARD of it but have never used it for obvious reasons.
I can't say I've ever gotten a giant bird as a consolation prize, but first time for everything, I guess. XD
I am Bri'ish and even I didn't know what that was lol
Man I Love ERB
I never heard of boobie prize
and I am British
listen up everyone ERB is giving away a boobie prize
❤😂
