participation trophy

A trophy that is awarded, usually to a child, simply for participating. It is based upon the idea that this will enhance their self-esteem and somehow make them better adults. Despite the fact that there is absolutely no empirical evidence to support this idea, the trophies continue to be awarded. These children ultimately become young adults who can't quite understand why employers in the real world do not share their exalted vision of themselves. Disillusioned and bitter, with plenty of time on their hands, many participated in the Occupy Wall Street movement. Ironically, no trophies were awarded for participation in this event.

Let's show Dillon how much we love him by awarding him a participation trophy for doing absolutely nothing.

Participation Ribbon

Similar to a trophy wife, only without the appeal. Rarely wears make-up or flattering outfits, opting instead for mom jeans and baggy t-shirts. Travels by minivan, often with beads, a dream catcher or a Hawaiian lei hanging from the mirror. Not likely to have had any augmentation or surgical improvements done, instead believing in "natural beauty." Much less likely to be served with divorce papers upon turning 40.

Wow, look at the lady in curlers driving the Aerostar. That's beyond a second place trophy wife. She's a downright participation ribbon. She should really get that mole on her face checked out!

Participation Trophy Wife

A "trophy wife" in the sense that we now live in a society where everyone gets a trophy. She's certainly not first, second, or even third place.

She is not even close to hot enough to be called a trophy wife - at best she's a participation trophy wife.
