We are all in the 180-220 range (but then again, isn't every team?
) on my Thursday night league.When one of us leaves a 2-4-5-7-8 or a Greek Church or a big washout, it's virtually a race to belt out, "OK, now let's get the other half!".
What are our favorite ribs out there?

Leave a 5 pin, and we ask if they want to throw their purse at the spare shot?
Throw a bad shot, drop the ball or hit your leg, doesn't matter why, and get one on the first ball, we all start clapping and saying, come on bring 9, bring 9.
We have a guy that is in his first year of bowling, he will get a strike and then throw a gutter, so we all reassure and him and tell him it's ok you are on a strike, those pins would have only counted twice.
Leave a split, shoot it and leave pins standing on the deck, we tell them, it's ok a few more balls and you would have got them all.
We have a lot of fun when we bowl.

lol I've never heard anyone else use that. When someone goes flat 7 or 10, i'll yell out something like "Next time don't throw your purse down there." or "Geez I wonder if your purse will fit back through the ball return?"

Then on monday with the guys on another team that I hang with. The lefty on the team is known to miss the head pin a few times. Yet this is a lefty house so to mess with him we sometimes ask him:
"You do know it is easier on your side of the lane right?"

Another one is when you leave a 10 pin. Someone will take a cell phone toward the approach & tell him to answer the ringing 10.

If one of us throws a real bad shot, we have a guy that usually says, "if you wait, your ball will be right back."
I someone marks in the 10th and walks off, we tell him he has a "bonus ball."

She also had a program in the 70s called Maude. WELL.....I have nicknamed him Maude and seemingly everyone is calling him that these days.

Also on flat 10's or 5's we'll try and copy a phrase from the 70's telecasts - "He got a handful on that one..."
If someone sails one to the ditch or tugs like crazy we'll yell HOLD! We've done the HOOK! when it's in the gutter for years.
On the college team we have a yell from the movie "Saving Silverman" when Jack Black is running into a house he yells "A-COMIN' INNNN, YEAH-HAAA!" We use it in big situations: when someone's on a string, 10th frame, winning shots, and the like. That one's probably my favorite.
When someone is struggling and they finally strike we give them the encouragment: "Great strike, but that's the easy lane..." We also use it when someone's killing it: "Yeah, but that's the easy lane, throw 8 in a row on the other lane..."
We have a guy who utilizes a lot of loft in later games so we all analyze his "Z-Axis" adjustments.
If someone completely whiffs a wahsout or split we let them know "a couple more shots and you'd pick that up."
I like this thread, let's keep 'em coming.

If he threw what he thought was a great shot (and weren't they all), and left a 5 pin (happened more than you'd think), he'd get really, really upset. His name was "Randall". Now, when my teammate or I leave a "ripped 5 pin", we were Randalled.
Another favorite (this one actually from my mother, 40+ years ago) when talking about a guy who KNOWS he's God's gift to bowling "I want to buy him for the bowler he is, and sell him for the bowler he thinks he is."

I once said that in an official league loud enough to have it heard by everyone... almost kicked me out of house
But it was well worth it! We won by one pin
The guy I train with is lousy.. ok... just a slousy as I am but he is not that good with adjusting and stuff and when the ball goes high instead of moving or playing faster he even plays more angle to play brookly by intend! So when he strikes its "WOW" but when he doesn't (and he does not too often) I call it an Adler... his name is "Adler" (German name - im in Germany) so once on plays a brooklin we call it adler and if it is a strike we call it "Der Adler ist gelandet"

The gutter one is good...
I like it, too, let's see if I can use it this evening
Well, around here we also say "Safe!" when a spare conversion (single or open split) is made through a slight side hit, so the pin just fall over with no power and maybe takes even out other pins for a spare.
Also, when playing the 10th frame and a player does not recognize he/she gets an extra frame, we usher the player back on the approach and tell him/her "hurry, play your bonus game" or "play the extra level, you made enough points".
5-7 or 5-10 is frequently called "the old men's leave" since we have some senior bowlers in the club who frequently leave these due to their release.
Or, at times, any player who makes 8 pins or less with the strike shot, is "in danger to be expelled from the club for lousy performance".
