Particularly during the 1980s and 1990s, a term used to denote parties for watching ‘Tippekampen’, the football matches aired by the national broadcaster in Norway simultaneously being part of the national football betting lottery. The word ‘pling’ comes from the gong sound played when new results from other games were shown on-screen, and ‘fest’ means party. Commonly, people would cheer (or boo) and have a drink when given matches came up. A similar kind of party would be drinking to Postman Pat doing incorrect gear shift, drinking to Die Hard when McCaine serves up a one-liner, but these are more like party games then the reason for meeting in the first place. Plingfest, therefore, is more like tailgating.
