On-line bingo goes straight but at exactly what value?
Online bingo has been based on bizarre naming where men and women in Bingo halls in many countries invent very funny and frequently ribald calls for chosen numbers. It’s among the traditional and enduring traits of the well-known game of probability, so much so, the sexes from all areas of life stake ones own reputations on their Bingo call-ability!
The internet Bingo sorority, however, appears to have acquiesced towards the tedious convention of straight number calling, built in an electronic format. Pundits lay claim that because of the grubby dosh up for grabs, Bingo calling should rather be taken seriously. Careless and amusing Bingo number names have been put on the back burner on the net and replaced instead by the serious acquisition of enormous progressive jackpots – where is the pleasure in that?
There are also surprising allegations of chauvinism, racial discrimination and any ism you can imagine in land-based Bingo calling. The number 88, as an example, has long been known as as ‘Two fat ladies’ or ‘wobbly wobbly’, simply because the rounded shape of the number is reminiscent of a buxom, corpulent female form. Just how can that be sexist or questionable when worldwide stats prove being overweight is on the substantial upward trend?
The letter eighty can be called in a number of alternatives including Ghandi’s Breakfast as he ate (8) almost nothing ()! This Bingo call has allegedly raised the ire of Indians the world-over who believe the late political and spiritual leader of India has been rather roundly ripped off. The truth of the topic is Ghandi did fast for long periods of time as both a way of protest and self purification and, let’s admit it, he was a small, runt of a gentleman!
Quite frankly, Bingo without traditional Bingo calling is a little bit of a bore, so we’ve selected a number of calls which are undoubtedly really worth passing to the next Bingo era.
24 – Did you score? 34 – Dirty whore 56 – Was she worth every penny? 69 – That’s impolite 72 – In for a poop 86 – Dog’s Dicks
If you are one of the Bingo brethren that rather fancies a little bit of lewd fun, there’s been an extremely feisty Bingo spin-off of late – Dirty Bingo – a game where racy innuendos are the norm and sexual aids are up for grabs. Think about it guys, lighten up and request the return of traditional Bingo calling, even though it needs to be performed by an invisible character.
