basically, its shuffelboard on ice. But for a more detailed defination.....
Curling is a precision team sport similar to bowls or bocce, played on a rectangular sheet of prepared ice by two teams of four players each, using heavy polished granite stones which they slide down the ice towards a target area called the house. Points are scored for the number of stones that a team has closer to the center of the target than the closest of the other team's stones. The level of precision and complex nature of the strategic thinking required to win has led curling to be referred to as "chess on ice."

Curling is a sport where stones are slid down a "field" of ice toward a target known as the house. Points are determined by having the most stones near the center of the target. Fascinating to watch.

If you're talking about exercising, then, it is when you do upward arm 'curls' with weights.
If you are talking about hairstyles, then, it is when the ladies put heir hair in 'curlers' to make their hair 'curl'.
Curling is also a slang referral to a type of walking style.
