Lobsters that used to get shipped to Asia for Chinese New Year celebrations have been grounded by the rise in coronavirus. With the lobsters pouring into North American markets, prices have sunk to the lowest level in four years, according to one report.

With more lobsters staying in the U.S. amid the COVID-19 outbreak, fish markets are offering bargains.

Etymology

Look up bib (garment) in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.

The word, reported in English since 1580, stems from a verb bibben "to drink" (c.1380), from Latin bibere, either because it was worn while drinking or because it "soaked up" spills.

Other uses

Part of garment

The bib of an apron

The term bib may also refer to the part of a garment that covers the chest. For instance, an apron that covers the chest may be referred to as a bib apron. The part of a jumper dress or of an overall that covers the chest may also be referred to as a bib.

Sports

Further information: Jersey (clothing)#In sports

In sport, it may refer to a garment that used by a team to identify themselves on the field of play (a jersey), or to identify a participant in a competition with a start number ("bib number").
