The progression of strikes is as follows: On the left are standard names, on right are some odd names I have seen or heard through the years.

1 = Strike
2 = Double
3 = Turkey or Gobbler
4 = Hambone
5 = Recently heard referred to as yatzee or five bagger
6 = Sometimes referred to as a six pack or six bagger or wild turkey.
7 = Seven baggger
8 = Eight bagger
9 = Nine bagger or golden turkey
10 = Ten bagger
11 = Eleven bagger
12 = Twelve bagger or 300 game or Perfect Game

Anything after a strike may be referred to as a(n) "x bagger" (where x = number of consecutive strikes), 5 bagger or 7 bagger for example. They may also simply be referred to as "x in a row."

"Front x" - The number of consecutive strikes thrown starting with the first frame. For example, the front seven (strikes in frams 1-7).

"Back x" or "x out the door" - The number of consecutive strikes thrown through the tenth frame. For example, the back seven (stikes in frames 6-10).
