You learn something new every day … did you know that its not a blue ribbon event, its a blue riband event?
I did not know this ……. for years when I heard commentators saying it was a blue riband event I assumed they were saying blue ribbon ………..
“The men’s downhill is one of the blue riband events of the Games.”
What the hell is a riband?
Edit – If its the same thing why make up a whole new word when Ribbon is already invented!
yeah, the biscuit is named after it. think it comes from sailing.
