Bingo Number Slang
As Prize Bingo is mainly played for fun unlike more serious forms of bingo, slang names for numbers are commomly used. On a Prize Bingo board, the numbers are usually colour-coded:
- 1 - 15: Red
- 16 - 30: Yellow
- 31 - 45: Blue
- 46 - 60: White
- 61 - 75: Green
The caller usually reads out the colour then the number, i.e. "Red on its own number 1", "Green seven and five seventy five", "Yellow two and four, a Duck At The Door"

Famous quotes containing the words number and/or slang:
“I can’t quite define my aversion to asking questions of strangers. From snatches of family battles which I have heard drifting up from railway stations and street corners, I gather that there are a great many men who share my dislike for it, as well as an equal number of women who ... believe it to be the solution to most of this world’s problems.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
“All slang is metaphor, and all metaphor is poetry.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
