Man banned from saying 'Bingo'

A man was cited for disorderly conduct after shouting the word "bingo" at the wrong time during a game, and as a result he has been banned from saying the word for six months.

Austin Whaley and a number of his friends ran into the bingo hall in Kentucky, USA, and made the remark, Cincinnati.com reports.

Sergeant Richard Webster – who was off-duty at time but working as a security guard at the building – wrote in a police report: "This caused the hall to quit operating since they thought someone had won.

"This delayed the game by several minutes and caused alarm to patrons."

Whaley's remark was not welcomed by the players, who were largely made up of older women, and they started to hurl abuse at the 18 year old.
