the only sport where you celebrate by demolishing everything in your path
means A game in which you roll a heavy ball down a lane to knock over a set of pins, scoring by how many you topple.
from From 'bowl,' the rolling ball, which traces back through Old French 'boule' to Latin 'bulla,' meaning a rounded knob or bubble — the same swollen root that gives us 'bulletin' and 'bullion.' The '-ing' simply marks the act of bowling the ball. Versions of the game are ancient, but the English name grew straight from the round thing you send tumbling toward the pins.
