Booby – A seabird of the genus Sula, of the family Pelecanidæ, the same family as Gannets. The name "booby" probably originates from the Spanish word "bobo," meaning silly or foolish, which refers to their apparently dim-witted behaviour. A bird that could too easily be caught, making its sporting value low – hence ‘boobyprize’, or ‘booby’ referring to a stupid person.
