treeseed commented on the word beer frame
A frame, one of ten "innings" in a bowling game; originally it referred to the box on the scoresheet where the score for a single frame is recorded, after which one bowler has to buy beer for all the others. This is often a pre-determined frame, with the low scorer in that frame getting stuck with the tab. Sometimes, if all bowlers but one roll strikes in a frame, that becomes the beer frame and the bowler who didn't strike has to buy.
