Etymology 2

From the notion that two shillings and six pence was once the price of lodging and breakfast in an inn.[1]

Noun

bed and breakfast (plural bed and breakfasts)

(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).
(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.]
