The term 'THEY'RE TAKEN OUT IN AN ALLEY' can be solved by the four-letter word 'PINS'. Pins are small, thin objects typically made of metal or plastic that are used to fasten objects together or as a decorative adornment. They are often used in bowling alleys to set up the pins for a game. Therefore, the term 'THEY'RE TAKEN OUT IN AN ALLEY' is referring to bowling pins being taken out of the alley after a game.
