Do you Speak the Bingo Lingo?

Online Bingo games are catching people's fancy with every passing day. For those who play online Bingo games regularly, the terminology of the game rolls off the tongue smoothly. However, those who are new to the game can find it difficult to keep pace. While some websites offering online Bingo games give a comprehensive list of terms used, there are many which do not.

Surprisingly, the language that players of online Bingo games use differs from country to country. In North America for example, there is extensive use of acronyms in online Bingo games. WTG (Way to Go), GL (Good Luck), TY (Thank You) are commonly used.

If you are British and like to play online Bingo games, it is better you pick up Bingo slang used while calling out the cards. Two Fat Ladies refers to the number 88 and not to a pair of women with oodles of adipose tissue! Two Ducks Swimming means the number 22, so don't look around for acquatic birds. The jargon you come across may be traced to the shapes of the numbers, or to rhyming words. For instance the number 3, is called out as 'the little flea'. It could even be 'a cup of tea' at another online Bingo game site or 'you and me' at a third.

Some online Bingo games link terms to numbers for obscure reasons. While playing free online Bingo games at some sites, you may have 17 on your Bingo ticket but still miss the call for "Dancing Queen.' Apparently, the call is inspired by the ABBA song, "You are the Dancing Queen, young and sweet, only 17." In short, if you don't pick up the jargon, you will lose out on a lot of fun at the online Bingo games.
