The language of darts

It is almost impossible to start to play darts without knowing some of the language which goes with the game.

  • 3 in a bed - throwing 3 darts at the same number/area on the board
  • Bag o’ nuts - score of 45
  • Bed and breakfast - score of 26
  • Downstairs - bottom of the board
  • Heinz - score of 57
  • Lord Nelson - score of 111
  • Robin Hood - sticking one dart into the back of another
  • Shanghai - hitting a single, double or triple of the same number in a row
  • Sunset strip - a score of 77 which is obtained in one throw
  • Trombones - scoring 76 in one throw
  • Wet feet - feet that have crossed the throwing line
