In Bowling, an 'extra frame' has three possible meanings:
1) It's a slang term for the extra ball(s) a bowler throws in the tenth frame following a strike or spare: one extra ball following a spare, and two following a strike. (The more correct term for this is a 'fill ball'.)
2) It can also mean a one-frame roll-off following a tie score, in a situation where the tie has to be broken (such as for determining a league champion).
3) And it's another way to refer to the bowling alley's bar, in the same way that golfers use the term '19th Hole' to mean 'meeting up for drinks at the clubhouse after we're done'.
