I went bowling with my brothers over the holidays. I threw three strikes in
a row(in an otherwise poor showing). The digital display showed a turkey.
So, where and when did this term originate in the bowling sense? M-W gets a
pass as they cite it as meaning #3. OED doesn't care, if I read it right.
I almost give up on using Ancestry.
