'Wooden spoon' (chiếc thìa gỗ) tặng người về bét một cuộc đua, đôi khi có tặng người về nhì (a wooden spoon is a spoon made from wood, usually given to an individual or team which has come last in a competition, but sometimes also to runners-up. Examples range from the academic to sporting and more frivolous events. The term is of British origin and has spread to other Commonwealth countries).
Ví dụ
Rye House Rockets are in danger of finishing the Premier League season with the wooden spoon after a 56-37 defeat at Berwick on Saturday.
The Brisbane Lions had a horror season, barely avoiding the wooden spoon, but their tally of just 20 total votes was far and away the worst of any team.
Many experts were tipping Gold Coast to reach the wooden spoon, but they soon proved those doubters wrong on the way to a finals berth.
