Bingo numbers terminology

By: Ben Binding-27115

There are many nicknames for the numbers in a bingo game. While there isn't room to list them all here, there's no reason to ignore some of the more popular ones. They aren't used as much as they were in the past, but there are many people who still like to use them, even if it's only in a nostalgic way. Here are some of the most popular terms for the numbers:
One – On its own
Two -- One Little Duck
Three -- Cup of Tea / One Little Flea / My little Fly / Dixie Lee
Four -- Knock at the Door
Five -- Man Alive / Jack's alive
Six -- Just a Click / chopsticks
Seven -- Lucky for Some / hope in heaven
Eight -- One Fat Lady / The Garden Gate
Nine -- Doctor's Orders
Ten -- Gordon's Den / Big Ben / cock and hen / Downing Street
Eleven -- All the Ones / Chicken Legs / Legs Eleven
Twelve -- One Dozen
Thirteen -- Unlucky for Some / Lucky for Some / Baker's Dozen
Fourteen -- Valentine's Day
Fifteen -- Young and Keen
Sixteen -- Sweet Sixteen
Seventeen -- Never Been Kissed
Eighteen -- Coming Of Age
Twenty -- Two-O / Blind Twenty
Twenty-One -- Key of the Door
Twenty-Two -- Two Little Ducks / All the Twos / Dinky Doo
Twenty-Three -- Thee and Me
Twenty-Four -- Two Dozen
It's easy to see that there are a lot of nicknames. There are ninety numbers used on a bingo game, and all of them have at least one nickname that most bingo players recognize. There are also sometimes responses to these. For example, the 'Two Little Ducks' nickname for the number twenty-two will often provoke a lot of quacking from those who are playing the game. Bingo is designed to be fun, and the nostalgia that comes along with that can help to make it even more enjoyable to people who have been playing it for a long time and also to people who are just introduced to it and find it whimsical and amusing.
