There are more than 100 types of rabbits and hares, both domestic and wild, from swamp rabbits to Flemish giants to snowshoe hares.  Yet these prolific creatures are often overlooked and rarely get the respect they deserve–-due, in part, to their adorable appearance and storybook depictions.  Once a year, rabbits from all over North America and as far as Japan come together to compete in the American Rabbit Breeders Association (ARBA) rabbit show.  More than 3,000 people and 17,000 rabbits come to the show to compete.  Forty-nine breeds, including the French lop, Tan rabbit and English Angora, compete for the coveted prize of “Best in Show.”  https://www.pbs.org/wnet/nature/remarkable-rabbits-preview-4djehc/21389/  

Gibberish, also called jibber-jabber or gobbledygook, is speech that is (or appears to be) nonsense:  ranging across speech sounds that are not actual words, pseudowords, language games and specialized jargon that seems nonsensical to outsiders.  "Gibberish" is also used as an imprecation to denigrate or tar ideas or opinions the user disagrees with or finds irksome, a rough equivalent of "nonsense", "folderol", or "claptrap".  The implication is that the criticized expression or proposition lacks substance or congruence, as opposed to simply being a differing view.  The related word jibber-jabber refers to rapid talk that is difficult to understand.  The etymology of gibberish is uncertain.  The term was first seen in English in the early 16th century.  It is generally thought to be an onomatopoeia imitative of speech, similar to the words jabber (to talk rapidly) and gibber (to speak inarticulately).   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gibberish

The game was then adopted by students in colleges throughout North America.  https://www.catchthespirit.co.uk/about-disc-sports/history-of-frisbee
