The word "'''gutter'''" refers to a long, thin trough, usually one that runs straight. One type of gutter is a '''rain gutter''', which serves to collect [[rain]] and run it down to the ground or some despository so that it doesn't drip off the edges of a roof. Another type of gutter is found in [[bowling]]. There are long grooves (called, of course, gutters) which are slightly wider than a bowling ball on either side of the lane, and a ball can easily roll into them. If it does, the ball cannot strike any pins, and the player receives no points for that throw. A third sense is that used in [[comics]] [[jargon]], where gutters are the narrow spaces between panels. |
