Article on bowling terminology/slang
« on: September 16, 2013, 11:31:47 AM »
I'm not trying to solicit here or anything, but I was given a section at www.epicbowling.com to write for, I've already posted several articles, and I'm doing one about bowling terminology and slang.  I'm trying to collect as many as possible, so I wanted to ask for all I could get.  None of this is copywritten, there's no money involved, etc, just purely for information and the spread of knowledge.  I have just about all the technical terminology I can find, but I'm more looking for slang, like brooklyn, greek church, can opener, etc, more interesting stuff like that.  Thanks!
What would you be if you were attached to another object by an inclined plane, wrapped helically around an axis?

St. Croix, maybe Long Gone Daddy could share some of the words he uses when he misses an easy spare. I can just imagine, and do you think that LGD tries to intimidate opposing bowlers as much as tries to intimidate people in the forums?

OFR, I am afraid to answer the question! LOL!

"Flat as a pancake" or DOA (dead on arrival)-description of a ball that hits the pocket with nothing on it. I had one of them last night for an 8-10 split.
