While Lady Luck may have a part to play in one’s bingo fortunes, it’s our guess that our Lord may have more important matters to attend to. Goodness Me is a shortening of the saying, "goodness gracious me", which in term comes from the phrase "God grace me". Cup of Tea, Goodness Me, A Flea - It’s hardly surprising, given that a quarter of us get through five or more a day, that the nation’s favourite drink a Cup of Tea remains among our most enduring bingo calls. Kelly’s Cousin may refer back to Ned Kelly's cousin Tom Lloyd, who was a staunch supporter of the notorious Kelly Gang. While this is the most commonly used calls for this number, other traditional nicknames include Cockney rhyming slang Me and You and Baby’s Done meaning baby’s done a poo, or a number two. You might have noticed the written number 2 resembles One Little Duck swimming. One Little Duck, Me and You, Baby’s Done, Kelly’s Cousin - This is the first of the visual clues, which pop up regularly among the bingo calls. Another theory is that the number one originated from the music hall song, ‘Has Anybody Here Seen Kelly?’, popularised at the turn of the century and incorporated into the St Patrick's Day celebrations in America. It's more likely that this famous bingo call refers to the letterbox metal helmet that Kelly fashioned as part of the makeshift armour his gang used as protection in gun fights with the lawmen. In fact, Ned Kelly had two eyes - something attested to by the death mask taken after his execution, which can be seen on display in the Melbourne Gaol Museum. Some say Kelly's Eye is a reference to the Australian outlaw Ned Kelly, who some believed only had one eye.
