No more "two fat ladies"? Does bingo need to update its lingo for pc younger generation
Jan 24, 2020, 10:35 AM
An online bingo site says it's considering throwing out classic calls like "two fat ladies" eighty-eight, to make the game more "woke" for the younger generation. Foxy Bingo says eighty-eight could in future be "Wills and Kate". Other suggestions include thirty-eight "avocado on a plate" and seventy-four "recycle more".
Nearly four million people play bingo in Britain - not just in traditional bingo halls - but increasingly online.
So what do you reckon? Are the old bingo calls offensive? Outdated? Have you got any updated bingo lingo you think could work better?
