(bohl-ee) A 'bowlie' is an indie kid with a bowl haircut (hair cut with a bowl on your head), particularly popular in Glasgow in the 1980s. More generally, it is a label for people who listen to indie music (specifically indie-pop).
The term was further popularised by the Bowlie Weekender - a one-off music festival curated by Belle & Sebastian at the Pontin's Holiday camp in Camber Sands, Sussex, held Friday 23 - Sunday 25 April 1999. The event was the inspiration for All Tomorrow's Parties, a music festival held at the same venue in Sussex every year from 2000 until it moved to Butlin's Minehead in 2006.

Get the bolingoli mug.If you leave the 5 pin standing alone at the end of your turn while bowling it means that you are going to bed alone or not having sex that night.
if you knock all the other pins and leave the center pin, then you have left the 5 pin. That is called leaving the 5 pin when bowling and it = no sex for you.
