That awkward moment when your sarcasm is a so advanced, that others think you're stupid.

Precision of speech equates to precision of thought. The use of the phrase "collaborative trophy" was intentional, as it was referencing a quote embedded in the body of the piece. A portmanteau phrase of the adjective, collaborative, supplanting the unctuous, ubiquitous and understood adjective, participation, to modify the noun, trophy.
