With online bingo chat rooms offering a fun, friendly and entertaining way for players to relax during a game of bingo, it is no wonder that bingo lingo is such a big hit with players all over the world! Like a universal language, bingo chat offers an easy way to communicate quickly and simply using acronyms and abbreviations.

While some of these terms are fairly straightforward, others may seem a bit strange to players who are new to bingo. With a little bit of help and our great list of the most common chat terms found in online bingo rooms everywhere, you’ll soon be chatting up a storm in no time!

Legs Eleven, Two Little Ducks and Nelson’s Eye are just some of the examples of caller slang you might hear in the rooms, but don’t worry – these are just rhyming slang words for online bingo numbers, and you’ll soon get the hang of it all.
