When participating in the online bingo chat rooms, you may still run into an abbreviation that isn’t on this list. Some groups of chatters have their own “dialect” and you may have to ask a chatter to explain a meaning now and again. Don’t be afraid of asking – most chatters are very agreeable to explaining what they mean.
Don’t let the fear of Bingo chat lingo be an obstacle to your online social life. Read over this list a couple of times to gain familiarity and then watch some of the chatting that goes on so that you start to recognize the phrases. Then jump in! Usually when a new chatter joins in, the existing chatters will say hello and engage them. If not, don’t be afraid to introduce yourself and engage them! In any case just remember to have fun with it.
