Gina Bingo players ‘LOL’ in the face of acronyms

Lovers of online bingo play the game for numerous reasons. Aside from the thrills of a potential win, the social aspect of bingo is exceptionally important to players. No bingo site is complete without a chat room, and these are the ideal places for players to congregate, gossip and let off steam.

To the new player of bingo, the chat room can seem unfamiliar territory, especially with its fast-moving banter and numerous acronyms. An acronym is a set of initials used to abbreviate a word, one of the most well-known being ‘LOL’ or laugh out loud.

At Gina Bingo new and fun acronyms evolve on a regular basis, so here are a few you may not be so familiar with.

Need to answer the phone or make a cuppa? ‘AFK’ means away from keyboard. Want to wish a roomie a pleasant day? Then type ‘HAGD’ which is the abbreviation of have a good day. Giggling at a private joke? Then use ‘LTM’ which stands for laughing to myself. Something tickled your funny bone that’s a little naughty? ‘EG’ means evil grin.

The online bingo chat room is a place of high tension too — after all, watching those numbers count down can be an exciting, and occasionally stressful experience. Many roomies who are on the brink of a win will use ‘2TG’ or ‘1TG’ to indicate how many numbers they have left to go.

A comprehensive list of chat room abbreviations can be found in the Gina Bingo lobby, but you can also have fun making them up yourself. Join Gina Bingo today for a £10 no deposit bonus and to try out some of your new bingo lingo today.
