Bowling Phrases

I learned some new bowling jargon today:
  • Buzzard: Three open frames in a row.
  • Cheesy cakes: Lanes on which strikes come easy.
  • Deuce: A 200 game or 200 average; see also "par."
  • Dodo: A bowling ball over the legal weight or out of legal balance.
  • Dummy: Score allowed for an absent member, usually the average minus ten or a set score (for example, 140 for men and 120 for women);
*sigh*...nice to know my average isnt even high enough to be considered a 'dummy' score.
