The Universal Language of Bingo

There are so many languages around the world that learning them all would be an impossible feat. Travelers to go to faraway destinations with a trusty handbook of basic lingo to communicate in the most basic terms to hail a cab, order off a menu and ask directions. Friendly conversation is limited to “hello, how are you and how much.

Although in many parts of the world English is the official language it does not necessarily always help in every corner on earth. A speed course would be the quickest way to learn but not everyone has the time to absorb it in a short amount of time.

However there is a universal language that most players understand and that can be found at any of the online Bingo sites. Even if you are new to playing online and are beginning to stray from the local bingo hall and opting for the modern convenience of playing at home, learning the jargon is a snap!

Bingo is a social network of community players and chat is part of the thrill of playing. Instead of having to learn a separate language for each country players are united in a common conversation everyone understands. And the best part of all is they are not words but rather small abbreviations for simple learning.

Chat lingo is a great way to communicate especially when talking otherwise is near impossible when coming across friends that are do not speak your native tongue. Some of the more common internet lingo players already know through Facebook or other social media networks. But for the Bingo player there are some new and creative chats that are worth learning.
