My First Proper Post About Bingo

'Bingo Lingo' is the topic

Bingo for years has been associated with older ladies and probably clubs around the UK. I remember as a child I used to play bingo at the club on the holiday site I went to with my grandparents (it was accompanied by the talent competition that I'm ashamed to say I was probably responsible for a few broken glasses and maybe windows - I'm terrible at singing and can't imagine I was any better back in those days, workings men clubs seem to be quite partial to it as well with men and women playing a few cards at once with there dobber. My step dad manages to play many more cards than my mum. he appears quite talented at it. Any way I digress.

Bingo is also associated with bingo language that some call 'bingo lingo' - for those new to bingo it's like the rhyming slang of bingo. Most people will have come across it at some point but may not realise that it is called 'bingo lingo' as it's the names given to each number that is called as the balls are drawn.
