== Name == <!-- Please do not add more names here. There is a section at the end for alternative names that are properly cited --> This English game was originally called '''oh! well''',<ref name=Parlett96/> but is often known as '''contract whist''' in Britain and, less commonly, as '''nomination whist''',<ref name=pagat/> while American sources call it '''oh pshaw''' or more frequently '''oh hell'''. [[David Parlett]] gives other names: '''blackout, bust, elevator''' and '''jungle bridge;'''<ref name=Parlett2008>Parlett (2008), pp. 85β86.</ref> while [[John McLeod (card game researcher)|John McLeod]] adds '''blob''', so called because the player's predicted bid is overwritten with a black blob if not achieved.<ref name=pagat/>
