Some ( East Lothian?) Bowls Sayings
Hunger'd The Cuddy - because a bowl has a bias which makes it bend you have to throw it out to the side to allow for this. That is called 'taking grass'. But if someone does not throw it out enough they are said to have not given it enough grass, or Hunger'd ( starved ) The Cuddy ( Donkey ).
Judith Chalmers - This term is usually said in jest to a teammate when they accidentally deliver a bowl that falls short of the target and it refers to a programme which Judith Chalmers used to present called 'Wish You Were Here'.
