The List of Bingo Rhymes and Their Meanings
Aside from the huge prizes, vibrant players, and the rush that you get from playing bingo, the main reason that people go to bingo halls can be because of the humorous callers. They are like the life of the party (not in all cases though) because of their wit and humor. It is not easy being a bingo caller – you need to think fast and find words that can rhyme with each number. A few years ago, a woman named Mandy Morgan was awarded “Bingo Caller of the Year” in the United Kingdom. This event was organized by the National Bingo Game Association and she was actually the first woman to get that award.
If you are planning to be a bingo caller, then you should first know some of the popular bingo rhymes and their meanings. By doing so, you can easily step on the stage of huge bingo halls like Daytona Beach Bingo in Florida with so much confidence. You can also become one of the hosts of foxybingo’s chat games. Before you start doing impromptu calls, take note of examples of bingo rhymes and the number that they represent listed below. I have chosen the most witty terms so you can surprise your friends and family next time you organize a bingo party at home.

Its a shame there’s not more humorous calls in the bingo halls today – most are just trying to rush through with basic calls so as to fit in as many games as possible. Its good to hear some of the oldies such as you’ve quoted here.
