As the bingo game has developed over the past years, so has a unique set of nicknames that is known and used for each bingo
number. Bingo callers in original bingo halls would use these bingo nicknames when calling out each number as they appeared,
and they became known as bingo calls or bingo lingo.
Each of the bingo numbers from 1 - 90 has a bingo call / name associated with it. Some bingo lingo is very easy to remember,
such as ‘Four and Nine’: 49. 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). Some prefer these more logical nicknames, such as ‘Kelly’s Eye’ for number one because they are unique and easier to
remember. Rhyming bingo nicknames can be difficult to remember. For example, ‘Duck and Dive’ usually represents 25 but just
as easily rhymes with the number 35. The bingo lingo list below covers some of the most commonly used bingo terms / bingo
