Noun Phrase
/ˈtɪkər teɪp rɪˈsɛpʃən/
A "ticker-tape reception" refers to a celebratory welcome, typically held for a person or a team after a notable achievement, characterized by the throwing of ticker tape (slips of paper) from buildings as they pass by. This type of reception is generally associated with parades honoring sports teams, politicians, or other public figures.
This term is more often encountered in written contexts, such as newspaper articles or official reports, rather than in everyday oral speech, making its frequency of use relatively low in casual conversations.

While "ticker-tape reception" itself is not often part of idiomatic expressions, the concept of ticker-tape can relate to various celebratory phrases or paraphrases, especially in American culture. Here are a few examples:

The term "ticker-tape" originates from the early telegraphic stock ticker machines used in the financial markets to provide stock price information on thin strips of paper. The celebratory practice is rooted in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, notably when ticker-tape was used during parades, particularly in New York City.
