Essential Bingo Lingo
Just about anyone who has played the game of bingo, or who has ever heard about the game of bingo knows, there are some specific words and unique phrases that are associated with the game of bingo. You can refer to them as bingo – lingo if you so wish. Before you can make up your mind to play this game at Barbados Bingo, it’s useful that you know for sure what these bingo associated phrases and words are, so that when you eventually play, you can get the most fun out of the game whether online or in a physical bingo room. Below are some of them that you can look into and try to understand.
PC or Woke Lingo
For some online or regular bingo players, the old bingo terminology was not PC enough, and could even have been considered either insulting or old fashioned. This is the origin of ‘woke’ or PC bingo.
In woke bingo, the calls have been entirely changed and now made up of some really interesting phrases including:
7 now called Flexitarian
9 now called Get an Uber from mine
14 now called Netflix and chill
25 now called Quarter-life crisis
35 now called It’s a vibe
38 now called Avocado on a plate
39 now called Love Island time
48 now called Not another Brexit debate
49 now called Amazon Prime
54 now called Lads on tour
68 now called Tinder date
74 now called Recycle more
78 now called Haters gon’ hate
86 now called Instagram pics
88 now called Wills and Kate
Vital Bingo Terminology
However, even though some of the regular calls may have been changed, some of the terminologies have stayed the same. Below are some of the details:
0 Balls
When you have 0 balls as part of the game, what this means essentially is that you are playing the game of traditional 90 balls bingo which also happens to be the most popular variation in the UK.
Bingo Cards
The bingo card is an essential piece of kit that you are going to need when you want to play bingo. This is an important piece of paper or card that comes with the numbers you are playing with clearly typed out on it. However, in the game of online bingo, this card is represented by a virtual one instead.
Bingo Pot
The bingo pot is a name used in reference to the prize fund. Make sure that you check this out before you decide to play so that you are certain that you want to win the bingo prize on offer. There are some players who might not think it is worth it if the amount is small, but that is always your choice to make.
Drawn Balls
Drawn balls is a term that means that the game is about to start. Here, the first number would have been drawn, and the bingo game is running.
These are the bingo terms that you must know, and they are as easy to remember as they are fun to call.
