Kappa Joe
Spraying darts around the twenty like a sprinkler on overdrive: 1 x 20, 1 x 5, and 1 x 1, giving you a grand total of 26 points! It’s like your darts went on a scenic tour around the bullseye.
Keep ’em on the Island
This is what’s yelled when a player hits outside the double ring when a single or triple was the goal, just to crank up the nerves even more. Because, let’s be honest, darts fans? They’re a bunch of cheeky little troublemakers.
Kelly’s Eye
A popular nickname for the number 1 in the UK, often used in bingo too, is “Kelly’s Eye.” This cheeky term nods to the legendary Australian folk hero Ned Kelly, basically the Robin Hood of the Outback. Rumor has it, Ned only had one eye (hence the “eye” part). But wait, there’s more! Ned and his gang of outlaws were famous for wearing makeshift armor, including helmets made out of, you guessed it, mailboxes! Apparently, they thought a metal box on your head was the ultimate bulletproof fashion statement. And since most mailboxes look like a big ol’ number 1, well, the nickname stuck. So next time you shout “Kelly’s Eye!” at bingo, remember you’re honoring a one-eyed outlaw with a mailbox on his head. Legend.
Knurl
Knurl is the fancy term for those little grooves or notches on the barrel of a dart. Some players are all about that knurled life because it gives them a better grip, basically, it’s like the dart’s way of saying, “Hold on tight, buddy!”
