Calling nicknames

Nice article. It's good to have some of the terms explained, although why no 69? Possibly because some of it's nicknames aren't suitable for a family site. Another you often hear is "just my age" at some unlikely low number, often 16.

However, one query - I don't think I've ever heard a caller say "all the twos, two little ducks, twenty-two." In that and most other calls with nicknames, either the first or last bit is dropped. Admittedly I haven't been to bingo much and it's always been relatively informal.
