Beano in British Slang means a festive party or celebration, that often also involves food and drinks.

Beano in British slang can also refer to an outing or a day trip and it's sometimes also associated with a company or a group.

And also "beano" is sometimes used as a slang term for the game of bingo.

A beano is a lively occasion, such as a feast or party, often with plenty of drinks and food.

Beano can also describe a planned excursion, often with a group such as a company outing.

And in some contexts, particularly in British slang, "beano" is a synonym for the bingo game.

And the term beano is also believed to derive from "beanfeast," which is a term for a festive meal.

The Beano began in Dundee, Scotland.

It's name comes from the word “beano,” which means “a party or a good time.”

The first issue featured such characters as Lord Snooty and His Pals and the ostrich Big Eggo.

Since 1938 more than 400 characters have appeared in The Beano.
