‘...So a “riband” is just an old-fashioned way of saying “ribbon” – it's listed as an “archaic noun”. Back in the late 1500s, a bunch of knights called “Le Cordon Bleus” used to hang their signature cross off a blue riband.’

Just looked up the origin of the term ‘Blue Riband’. Isn’t the internet amazing?
