they serve as weapons to be flapped about in order to get to the bar or canteen in the bingo hall......
the bigger the wings the harder the slap across the face with them when they get flapping in their quest for food or alcohol.....
i used to work in a bingo hall MANY moons ago and ive seen it in action !!

hey men can have bingo wings too! i've seen many a man in the bingo halls! its too much fat or lose muscle at the back of the top of the arms. the only purpose they have it to make people feel sick when they flap around! maybe its a way of trying to get people to excersise that muscle a bit more....

they are not actually supposed to be there!! they are where your triceps at the back of your arm have not been toned and have gone flabby, sorry to say. If you sit on the edge of a stable chair and take a step forward with both feet then a small step to each side, (to get good stability), and so that your bum is just off the seat, dip down so that your shoulders come just abit higher than your elbows about 3x10-15 times, you will gently tone them up! hope this helps?x

Bingo wings is a slang term used to describe the build-up of fat and or flaccid muscle that hangs from the underside of the upper arms. It occurs most frequently in elderly ladies and overweight people. The problem may also occur after significant weight loss, with flaps of loose skin remaining. The term apparently originated from the bingo hall custom of raising one's arm aloft and bellowing "House!". This ties in due to bingo long being the entertainment of choice for large numbers of elderly ladies, especially in the United Kingdom.
British comedy show Bo' Selecta! popularised the term with a bizarre caricature of the EastEnders character Kat Slater, who appeared constantly paranoid about her "big fat saggy bingo wings".
Other names for this phenomenon may include: 'auntie arms', 'tuck shop arms', 'dinner lady arms', 'nanna wobble', 'nan flaps', 'bat wings' and, predominantly in Australia, 'sugar gliders', in tribute to an Australian mammal that propels itself through the air with the aid of batlike folds of skin. In the North of England this condition can also be known as "Family Fortune Arms" again referring to the old/fat contestants on the old TV game show "Family Fortunes" waving at the begining of the show, with their "Wings" flapping in the breeze.
Brachioplasty [1], or 'arm lift', is a surgical procedure designed to reduce or remove bingo wings.
The term Bingo Wings is now also officially included in the most recent edition of Chambers English Dictionary.

They can be used to swat flies away from a womans armpits
and
they can be used by really, really, really, big women, as tarpaulins for their breasts
don't get me started on their kebabs

ah the real reason is to prevent their breasts looking like spaniels ears, when they have their arms by their sides of course

To keep you cool when you get a hot flush? - they flap about pretty wildly!
