Response to candlepin bowling jargon
Hi there! Just wanted to introduce myself, I'm Jeff. The jargon "goll roll" and "glung glung glung" ARE widely used especially in Maine and a few NH centers and Nova Scotia. Some young guy from Eliot Maine invented the jargon and a few candlepin announcers would say "glung glung" instead of "hammer" on a strike. Yes it used sparingly and I'm sure myself and some other fellow bowlers might have to go around and petition and get signatures to make it a source for Wiki, but I for one think they should be there, they are more commonly used then some of the other words I've seen there! :) I always wanted to edit it myself but I decided i'm best at leaving it alone since the members that keep erasing them obviously aren't from New England and think it's vandalism.  I myself know it isn't vandalism but like you said it might need more sourceful info.  Wanna help me??  Take care! Charlie Laughs Funny (talk) 22:35, 25 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Right. I'm from Massachusetts and have never heard of them, but from Wikipedia's perspective, what matters most is what reliable sources say. So if there's a newspaper article or televised show or something more than "a random guy on the Internet says so", then cite the jargon, maybe explain the regionalism of it, and I think it'll be fine. Just people saying "yes it is, no it isn't" over and over isn't getting anybody anywhere. --PeterCooperJr (talk) 23:45, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
