@Clement is too modest. He didnt post the photo before where he waived his gun like in The Big Lebowski and made the bowling alley change his score.......
notice how the heavy bowling ball is held high ready to be thrown at the bowling alley manager.....

Underarm here in The States means deodorant. We would say under hand!

I haven't heard careen used for ages! Its funny how the US & UK language has diversified post 1776, for example you use gotten we don't (I used it once at school in an essay and got told that it was grammatically incorrect!), that and the missing 'u' in lots of words.

A little Polynesian in there too. On my Father's side we were shipbuilders and travelers.
