Funny Bowling Slang
« on: March 07, 2007, 03:38:17 AM »
Post some funny sayings that you and your team use when bowling.  Some of my team's slang:

"Stupid fingers"- Used when trying to explain a poor shot.

"Holding"- accompanied by a NFL referee-style holding signal, to describe a tugged shot that held right for a pocket strike.

"We broke one off in them"- to describe beating the other team badly.

"Choppa"- messenger that takes out the 10 pin (we are all rightys).  One of our guys was doing construction at a house where the homeowner was trying to control his huge pitbull, named Choppa.  After yelling at the dog to get inside the house, he randomly said, "Choppa loves peanut butter."  Therefore:

"Peanut Butter"- 10 pin.

"Canopener"- slightly off-pocket strike where the pins scatter toward the gutters instead of straight back, accompanied by a hand signal of opening a can with a hand can opener.

"Down the toilet"- Flush strike.

Let's hear some more!

When missing extremely left or right to where the ball has no way of coming back to the head pin, we yell "Go Brooklyn."

If someone on the team leaves the bucket someone else on the team will yell "Do you want fries with that?"

"Red sea strike" our version of the can opener strike, "Is Moses in the building?"

"drive by" solid pocket shot that leaves a 9 pin (righty) or a 8 pin (lefty) ball just drives thru the five missing the 8 or 9. One of my teammates and I are quickly becoming masters of the "drive by"

"Ouch", followed by grabbing ones own butt after leaving a single pin on a good solid pocket hit.

And we have quite a few terms that I would never attempt to get by the filters

when anyone on our team leaves the bucket, they scream out in anger (mock) "Solid Bucket!!!"

there was a guy who used to bowl in our town that thought there was such a thing as a solid bucket.. he would just scream it out too, "Mother f..., solid bucket!"  he was serious too.

pocket full of change.. when you hit the pocket light and leave a 4-5-7

moses.. when you strike but split them like your departing the red sea.

pocket penny.. when you miss and only leave the head pin.

ripped nickle.. when you leave a pocket 5 pin.

"Ricky, give him the heater!" ... Major League

quote:
Many different phrases are used by my teams, especially on Thursday night.

"Just a bit outside...."...for missing badly...from Major League. (We use any number of lines from Major League. Okay..we're ill.)

"Well take my squeaky toy"...for doing something unusual like picking up a split or getting a strike when you're being tapped left and right...from Chicken Little.

"That'll teach you to hit the pocket."...when you've just been tapped.

"Nobody misses a five pin...except Dan Perez."...in honor of a former bowling mate who couldn't hit that pin for anything...and he averaged in the 190s.

"Come back here and sit down."...after a strike.
"Come back here and sit down...and think of what you've just done."...after getting tapped.

"The hit man"..Mark....throws without a thumb and get's tremendous revs on the ball....has yet to have a 300 but so many 289's and 279's as to be riduculous. Hates the nine pin...averages 198.

"How many taps did you have?"...answer 10...for Mark...all spare game...never thought to see that.

"Mitchy the kid..bang bang."..Mitch....from City Slickers...used after he gets a strike..average 205

"Little Chucky Nimsk"...for me after a string three or more. (average 195..and I'm fourth on my team!)

"You want me to take him outside...and kick the (censored) out of him!"...for any bowler on the opposite team who is stringing strikes...from Major League.

"Vaugh has walked the bases loaded on 12 straight pitches...how can they lay off pitches that close."...when you can't hit the broadside of a barn door...from Major League.

"My name is Indigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die...(earth scum)."....from Princess Bride (with an assist at times from Spaced Invaders)...

Oh...and any number of Andrew Dice Clay nursery rhymes. Okay...we are the most politically incorrect team in the league of 32 teams. And we're proud of it! We also won the first half.

"911 shot"  threw the ball dead nuts good and got robbed
"back door strike" missing the headpin and pins coming out of the pit to knock all the pins down from behind for a strike.
the "get your purse shot" hit the pocket and leave the 5 pin
the " not even I can get the ball back from the big brown board" gutter shot

mugging - messenger that takes out the 10 pin on the fly.
slasher - 6 off the side wall taking out the 10.
5pin, 5-8-10 are named after people we bowl with.
gutter balls get applause from the entire league.
good ball - any ball that strikes for the house shot league bowling beside us.
