Online bingo lingo part 3
Online bingo lingo part 3
Yipee! We've finally reached the Top of the Shop - and the final part of our bingo lingo series. This week we're looking at numbers 61 - 90 and hoping to finally have made all things bingo lingo clear for you so the next time you're in the running for the jackpot you know what to listen for. Most of these calls are based on rhyming slang – such as 'flea' in place of the number three, but others describe the visual representation of the number being called. This is why the number two is commonly referred to as a duck and the number seven, a crutch.

Read on for the rest of the series...
