When you are playing bingo either online or offline you cannot help but notice that the bingo caller will also attach little terms and sayings to many of the bingo numbers he calls out, and whilst most experienced players will instant recognise what each saying relates to in regards to the bingo numbers, a new or inexperienced player may not.
