A debate between a close friend and me sparked this topic: When you cross over to the "incorrect" side of the headpin, what do you call it? I call it Brooklyn. He calls it Jersey. (We live in different states.) Does it change for everyone based on where they live?

Well behaved women rarely make history.

Of course I also hear both all the time, Brooklyn and Jersey.  But if you look at a map, Brooklyn is east of New Jersey.  So it never makes sense to me when I hear it.

A half ten is not a great shot.  No, you shouldn't have carried it.

I usually call it being solid in the pocket...but I'm a pretty crappy bowler too

I was taught as a kid that if a righty did it it was Brooklyn, if a lefty did it, it was Jersey. I'm from Delaware

Always Brooklyn...until we met and started bowling with friends from Brooklyn, they called it a Jersey no matter whether it was righty or lefty crossover. In 35 years of bowling I had never heard Jersey until we met this couple. In Connecticut (and now Florida) it was always Brooklyn.

Don't argue with an idiot; people watching may not be able to tell the difference.
