Other bingo nicknames are more obscure, such as ‘Pick and Mix’: 26. The bingo nickname will very often rhyme with the number, for example ‘Tom’s Tricks’: 6. other bingo calls don’t rhyme but will have a logical reason behind them. Some even have a bible background. For example, ‘The Lord is my Shepherd’: 23. This refers to Psalm 23 in the Bible. Some bingo numbers have both a rhyming nickname and a more logical bingo nickname. The number eight for example, can be referred to as both the ‘Garden Gate’ (which rhymes) and ‘One Fat Lady’ (because the shape looks like two halves of a large female).
