Online bingo players love to socialise. That's one of the things they like best about online bingo. The game has a chat function that adds an entirely different dimension to playing bingo. Some players say they enjoy chatting as much as the game itself, especially on those online bingo games that are more fun-based than anything else.
In-between bingo matches, some chat rooms have games with attractive prizes such as cash or redeemable points that can be exchanged for cash or bingo cards.
Whether you want to make friends or get the opportunity to win prizes, it's certainly a good idea to brush up on your chat lingo.
Typical chat lingo usually takes the form of acronyms of common bingo phrases such as "WTG" or "Way To Go" to cheer on winners.
Here are some of the most common online bingo slang terms.
Lingo Meaning
AFK away from keyboard
A/S or A/S/L age/sex age/sex/location
BAK Back At Keyboard
BBL Be Back Later
BRB Be Right Back

<wg> Wicked Grin
WTG Way To Go
YW / YVW You're Welcome / You're Very Welcome
1TG/2TG/3TG 1 To Go/ 2 To Go/ 3 To Go etc (ie, number left to get Bingo)
Acronyms like Ggp (gotta go pee) are pretty strange, since that's not exactly the kind of thing one would like to say to a room full of strangers. And besides, isn't that why we have the Afk (away from keyboard) acronym ?
There's also the acronym "CM" for the chat monitor. He's the guy who hosts the chat room, welcomes guests and puts disputes in order.
Most chat rooms have their own unique bingo acronyms, which is known only to Web site regulars.
