The list below shows the nickname of each bingo number with variants. Remember that no list is definitive and some nicknames may not make sense. If you are planning to make up a list of nicknames for use in a bingo hall or at home, choose the ones that most appeal to you. If you know of others to add, please email admin@ildado.com or use this online form.

Bingo play using nicknames persisted in British Bingo halls until faster computer draws replaced air-blown balls. This is a way of announcing or repeating the Bingo number drawn in a humorous way. In a crowded, noisy room, it also helps to confirm the number called.

The bingo game starts with the traditional call to attention: 'Eyes Down'.

1Kelly's eye: In reference to the one-eyed Australian bushranger gangster Ned Kelly. (Note: apparently this explanation is incorrect. A viewer from Australia sent this message: 'Ned Kelly didn't have one eye! He didn't even lose an eye in the shoot out at Glenrowan. And when he was wearing his helmet, you couldn't even see his eyes through the slot.' But another Australian viewer sent this explanation: 'The reason for 'Kellys eye' may have been referring to Ned Kelly's helmet, which had one large slot for his eyes that looked like one eye.')

2One little duck: The shape looks a bit like a swan.

3One little flea: Looks a bit like a flea.

7One little crutch: Looks like a crutch.

8One fat lady: Resembles the two halves of a large lady.

9Doctor's orders: A pill known as Number 9 was a laxative given out by army doctors in Britain. Apparently in the second world war in Britain doctors wrote on sick notes a 9 pm curfew, thus if patients were found out of their homes after that time they were violating their sick note. (Provided by a visitor)
The curfew story's not true. In the Great War, however, there was such a thing as a 'number nine' pill, that was freely prescribed for virtually everything. (Provided by another visitor)

10Downing street: UK Prime Minister's address, 10 Downing Street.

12Royal salute: As in, a 21-gun salute for a Royal birthday or other celebration.

13Bakers Dozen: Bakers in olden times used to make one extra piece of bread/cookie etc to the dozen ordered by a customer so they could do a taste test before it was sold to the customer, hence the phrase.

17Dancing queen: From the Abba song of the same name. Over-ripe: Opposite of tender; 14 and 17 straddle 16 which is sweet!

23Lord's My Shepherd: From Psalm 23.

26Bed and breakfast: Traditionally the cost of a nights' lodgings was 2 shillings sixpence, or two and six.

26Half a crown: Equivalent to 2'6d. Or two and six.

39The famous steps; all the steps: From the 1935 Hitchcock film

59The Brighton Line: The London-Brighton service was no. 59.

65Old age pension: 'Pension' age in the UK is at the age of 65.

76Seven 'n' six - was she worth it?: The price of the marrige licence, seven shillings and six pence.
A marriage license may have been 7/6 (37.5p in new money) once upon a time, but 7/6 was more recently the cost of a 'short time' with a lady of negotiable affection.... (Provided by a visitor)
