UK Slang

Although these numbers are amusing and each has its own story, most professional bingo halls do not use them. If a caller were busy saying "two little ducks", and the number 22 has not yet been said, it is therefore not deemed "called". In an instance where a player may have missed his or her number, and a player is waiting for 22, both players would have valid argument that their number was "called".

There are traditional calls for the numbers. For example:

| 1 || Kelly's Eye '''or''' On it's Own|-
| 5 || Man Alive|-
| 7 || Lucky for Some|-
| 8 || One Fat Lady|-
| 9 || Doctor's Orders|-
| 10 || (current PM)'s Den|-
| 11 || (Chicken) Legs|-
| 13 || Unlucky for Some OR Lucky for Some|-
| 16 || Sweet Sixteen|-
| 21 || Key of the Door|-
| 22 || Two Little Ducks|-
| 23 || Thee and Me|-
| 30 || Dirty Gertie|-
| 37 || More Than Eleven|-
| 45 || Halfway There|-
| 51 || Tweak of the Thumb|-
| 55 || Speed Limit|-
| 57 || Heinz Varieties|-
| 59 || Brighton Line|-
| 64 || Red Raw|-
| 66 || Clickety-Click|-
| 71 || Bang on the Drum|-
| 76 || 7 and 6 - Was she worth it?|-
| 79 || One More Time|-
| 81 || Stop and Run|-
