Bingo call meaning number 9.
This one goes back quite a bit. Apparently in the second world war in Britain
doctors wrote on sick notes a 9pm curfew, thus if patients were found out of their
homes after that time they were violating their sick note. This story about the curfew,
however, is disputed by others. In the Great War there was such a thing as a 'number nine'
pill, that was feely prescribed for virtually everything.
Both stories are unconfirmed.
