Why should that be accepted? The question is about the large tapeworm. If anything, it would be the tapeworms of the genus Diphyllobothrium.

I've played Scrabble for more than 35 years and I never knew that using all of your tiles was known as a "bingo." Most I ever got in one game was six.

Same here. Never referred to as a Bingo. It was just "Hey, I used all my letters, give me 50 extra points," whenever we played. Bingo is shorter. I think I'll use it moving forward, except now, I'll never get one again, since I know what it is called.
