Many numbers have a 'nickname', a phrase that is called along with the
number to clarify what has been called and inject an occasional sense of
fun into proceedings. This may be as simple as 'four and nine,
forty-nine2' or as obtuse as 'two and six; bed and breakfast, twenty-six'.
Broadly speaking, nicknames fall into two categories: those with rhyme
and those with reason. The number twenty has two nicknames which
illustrate this. It is known as 'one score', as a score is twenty, and
as 'getting plenty', because it rhymes with twenty. Which you prefer is
down to personal taste, and most callers use a mixture of both. Many
find the rhyming ones more difficult to remember; for example '34 – ask
for more' could just as easily be the nickname for 54, but if you know
that a bullseye in darts scores fifty then 'it's a bullseye! Number 50'
is easy. There are a very few numbers which have both rhyme and reason,
a few that raise a smile, and one or two sad lonely numbers that have no
nickname at all.
Note that many professional halls do not encourage callers to use
nicknames. This is because technically until the caller actually says
the number itself, players can still claim on the last number. For
example, the last number was 33, the caller then says 'all the twos, two
little ducks...' but before he can say '22' someone calls 'HOUSE!' It is
ambiguous then whether the number being called on is 22 or 33; according
to the letter of the law only 33 can be claimed on, but most people will
naturally shout as soon as they know they have won. Someone claiming on
22 in this case would not win.
