B-I-N-G-O

Dauber and cards

B-I-N-G-O is the spelled-out form of bingo, typically sung or chanted rather than spoken.

It appears most famously in the children's song about a farmer's dog: B-I-N-G-O, and Bingo was his name-o.

The spelling emphasizes each letter as a distinct syllable, often with clapping or pauses replacing letters in successive verses.
