Bingo Lingo, Chat Slang

Don’t let any of this scare you off, it is all very easy to understand and the best way to learn is actually by participating in the fun. The chat hosts are in the room to help you, and you will also find that many of the more experienced roomies will also help you out.

For starters bingo lingo on the site soon becomes familiar and regular terms such as “tourneys” and “team bingo” are self explanatory. But when it comes to nabors and bogof, confusion can reign. But it is also pretty simple, nabors are the two people on either side of you in the chat, and the reason why they are important is because sometimes if you win, they also win. So these are the chat alias which appears above and below yours at the point of winning. BOGOF is not a swear word we use to chase you away, it means “buy one get one free” and so on.   

Bingo ling on the chat rooms is a who load of shortened forms of the English language or acronyms. If you are new, most good online bingo sites provide you with a dictionary of most of these, so you can familiarize yourself with them. At first it feels a bit stupid using them but you soon get used to it, cause everyone else does. For example BRB, means be right back, LOL, means laugh out loud, GL means good luck and so on…simple really. But don’t use capitals like I did, these are reserved for the chat hosts, just have fun!
