Bingo Chat Slang
Bingo Chatrooms are one of the coolest things about Playing Bingo Online, because they help bring the Bingo Hall experience to your computer screen. You may be at home but there's a whole chatroom full of Bingo Players to talk to. But to save time and typing so you can concentrate on your bingo game you need to know some common abbreviations or acronyms.
Bingo Chat Slang
I'm going to limit this article to acronyms common to Bingo Chatrooms. How do I know what's common? By my thoroughly unscientific perusal of numerous bingo chatrooms where I noted the terms that were constantly repeated.
There are lots of abbreviations in common use, not just in chatrooms, but also message boards and email. Bingo players use many of these common ones plus some specifically related to the game of bingo.
For some reason I seldom see any emoticons or smileys. You know, these guys :) ;) ::)~~~~. I guess the reason for this is that during the bingo game idle chitchat drops to the wayside and the conversation turns serious as bingo players discuss their numbers. There's not any reason to express subtleties of emotion when you're saying "1tg 1tg!!"
So without further ado, in alphabetical order, here is your handy dandy guide to bingo chatroom acronyms.
- AFK - away from keyboard
- a/s a/s/l - age/sex age/sex/location
