eubA strike is referred to as a galleon, and a spare as a merchantman.
Pins left standing at the end of a frame are scurvy dogs and may be ordered to avast.
Any ball which hits no pins is said to have walked the plank.
A pirate who leaves a split is marooned. Walking the plank straight through a split is still, for lack of any suitably piratical alternative, a field goal.
Other pirates in the alley, if they carouse in excess of the customs used at sea, may be addressed as whoreson grog-soused foremast dogs.
