Wordings for Numbers/Nicknames
Tambola/Houzee is a fun for the organiser and everyone playing out when we call up numbers by putting up some words before these numbers like Lucky 7 etc. It makes the game even more fun. So, here is the list of such wordings for these numbers and will add more new words for these numbers.
Bingo is a community game which fosters interaction among bingo players from all walks of life. So, as the bingo game evolved, so did a funny set of bingo nicknames to make the game more lighter and fun. These bingo nicknames are very much UK feature of the game and are used where the motive is having more on fun and not making money. Callers in the traditional bingo halls of UK would use these nicknames when announcing numbers, which later became popular as bingo lingo.
Each bingo number, from 1 to 90 has a bingo nickname assigned to it. While some bingo lingo is very straightforward, for example 'four and nine': 49, others are a little vague like 'pick and mix': 26. Most bingo nicknames are rhyming slangs, for instance, Tom's Tricks rhymes with 6. Those bingo lingo which don't rhyme with the number have a logical reason for being called so. Then there are bingo nicknames which have a biblical background, such as 23: 'the lord is my shepherd' referring to Psalm 23 in Bible.
Bingo nicknames have both rhyming and logical connotation. For example, number 8 which is called as both 'garden gate' (rhyming) and 'one fat lady' (because if the shape of 8 which resembles the shape of a fat lady).
While some popular callers prefer the logical nicknames, for exapmle number 1 is called 'kelly's eye', named after the one eyed Australian gangster Ned Kelly, for they are uncommon and easy to memorize. Rhyming bingo lingo, on the other hand, can be difficult to learn. Say for instance, 'duck and dive' for 25 easily rhymes with 35. Our comprehensive list of bingo lingo entails some of the most commonly used bingo lingo across the bingo halls in UK:
