Slang noun used and [understood] primarily by Brummies (people from Birmingham, UK), Yam Yams (people from the nearby area of the Black Country) and other Midlanders. It is a noun used to describe the action of rolling forwards on the ground. It is often described as a 'forward roll' by the rest of the country. Brummies will often say 'gambowl' instead of 'forward roll' and very few people outside of the city seem to [understand] this term. The spelling of gambowl is a debate in itself, as it is rarely written and mostly used in speech. Variations of this spelling (gambowl) include: gambole, gambol and gamboul. There is a [Facebook group] campaigning to promote awareness of the word, entitled 'it's not a foward roll, it's a ******* gambowl'.
