If you can’t tell your ‘Man Alive’ from your ‘Duck and Dive’ in your bingo numbers don’t worry. You are not the first and you certainly won’t be the last. The one thing that hits us all when we play bingo got the first time are the weird names that get shouted out each time a ball makes its magical way into selection.
Let’s be fair here bingo has been around a long time and there are ninety bingo numbers. So, that makes it hard to remember each of these names applied!
But, it is important to know these names. Let’s say the names of the bingo balls are called before the number and you don’t know it but your friend sitting next to you does. Well, this puts your friend at an advantage.
She will have marked off her number and called Bingo before you even got to hear what the darn number was. Plus, knowing these names will add much more fun to your experience.
Where Bingo Names Originated
Where did these names come from? It’s simple really, most of them are rhyming slang that matches the sound of the number. Others have some kind of historical reference.
But, basically the callers started shouting these names to add more fun and create some more involvement for the players.
You may even see new names pop up in online chat forums like “Not another Brexit Debate” for Number 48. However, you are more likely to hear the traditional names that have been used for years and are likely to be used for much longer.

Bingo Number Callers
It’s fair to say that the art of bingo calling is serious business. If you have ever tried it yourself, then you know that it is not easy. Plus, a bad bingo caller can make the evening go really slow. Whereas a great bingo caller can have you in stitches and keep the evening bouncing along.

Let’s say that a good bingo caller is someone with the skill of an entertainer. If they are good enough they get to compete at the highest level. The competition is fierce but there can only be one National Bingo Caller of the Year winner.
