I heard a proffesional bingo caller on Radio 4 fairly recently saying that
the 'Two fat ladies' has been dropped because it's not politically correct.
So, although that had been going forever, it did change. Still, I don't
associate the use of blind in bingo calling with lack of sight; It simply
means blanked off, like a blind alley.

I certainly think you are being over sensitive here, the phraise has been
used for as long as I can remember to make sure in a noisy atmosphere that
the number is not mistaken. Some people could say they were offended by the
phraise 2 fat ladies, but it's not meant like that.
