Have you ever wondered what a certain abbreviation you saw on the chat window of your favorite bingo site means? I’m sure not all of us are accustomed to the common words and phrases used by experienced online bingo players. That is why in this part we are going to go through some of the popular abbreviations used commonly by bingo players from all around the world.

The most common abbreviation is AFK, which stands for Away From Keyboard. If a player says AFK, this means he or she is leaving the computer for a while and will return shortly. You too can use the term if you want to leave the computer, for example if you want to get a drink or go to the bathroom. Some players might use BRB or Be Right Back for the same purpose.

After a player hits bingo, you will see a lot of GGs and GJs showing on the chat window. GG stands for Good Game, while GJ stands for Good Job. These two terms are used to congratulate winning players, so don’t hesitate to use them when playing bingo. GL on the other hand, is a common term used at the beginning of each round; it stands for Good Luck, which can also be used as GL2U (Good Luck to You) or GLANG (Good Luck All Next Game).

If you win a round and a lot of players are saying GG or GJ, don’t forget to show gratitude by saying TY or TYVM, which naturally stands for Thank You and Thank You Very Much.
