new word

I took Sarah bowling today. In the second game, I seemed to find my groove with a strike that became a double. Did I dare hope for a Turkey? I got a third strike in a row, answering the question in the positive. Then I got a fourth consecutive strike. The monitor informed me that this was a "4-Bagger," a term I hadn't even had the occasion to wonder about before. If I had some friends here, they'd soon see how casually I'd be able to drop the word into unrelated conversations.

Congratulations, you 4-Bagger, you!

I'd never heard that term or had occasion to wonder, either. I'd heard "Turkey," but I've never done more than 2 consecutive strikes.

Do they have names for consecutive gutter balls? I've probably earn every one of those titles.

As long as it wasn't a "Tea Bagger"

I didn't even know there were names for 3 and 4 consecutive strikes. Congratulations on your 4-Bagger!
