Noun

[edit]

bed and breakfast (plural bed and breakfasts)

  1. (darts) A score of 26, made up of a score of 20, 1 and 5 in any order.
    Synonym: (initialism) B&B
    • [1978 April, Dan Wheeler, Tom Jansing, “Mugs away!”, in All Hands, page 11:
      The language of darts is a combination of hybrid Cockney slang, metaphor and phrases that “stuck” for no apparent reason except they sounded good. [] Bed ’n’ breakfast—the number 26 when scored by hitting a 20, 5, and 1; comes from the price of a bed and breakfast in Olde England which was 2/6d, two shillings and sixpence.]
    • 1984, Ivan L. Brackin, William Fitzgerald, Darts, page 72:
      This can be a lengthy procedure when neither team can do better than ‘bed and breakfast’ (26).
  2. (bingo) The number 26.
    • [2008, Marcus Waring, The Deranged Book for Old Timers, page 68:
      Bingo calls that might leave the budding old-timer generally baffled include: [] 26 ― Bed and breakfast. Traditionally it would cost two and six – two shillings and six pence. Now its £180 a night but you get biscuits.]
