a Brooklyn; Woolworth; mother-in-law. Surely Brooklyn is the only borough that lends its name to a bowling term. The New York City borough gives us the word Brooklyn meaning a hit made on the side of the headpin opposite to the arm bowl- ing the ball. Another eponymous bowling term is the Wool- worth, a split of the pins leaving the “five and ten” pins still standing. The bowling term mother-in-law refers to the left rear pin in the pin formation. |
