Members or Roomies
Chat room members, or roomies, have developed a rich language of their own. Mostly it is abbreviations. Some are familiar to email users such as LOL for laugh out loud. When you go into a chat room find out the code they use. Among our favorites are "jj" for just joking; and our all-time great combo: "lmao" for laugh my ass off, "rofl" for rolling on the floor laughing, and finally "roflmao" for rolling on the floor laughing my ass off!
When you are in a chat room you will be able to participate in one of perhaps hundreds of chat room games. These are really chances to win something "on the side" while regular Bingo is going on. Prizes are often bonus bucks, called BBs. There are also cash prizes or loyalty points. You may find yourself in a chat room where the prizes are something else again. The chat rooms and the games are run by the chat moderator or CM for short.
One variation within the chat room games themselves is "nabors". These are the players above and below the winner on the list of roomies kept by the CM. |
