`Baghdad Bingo' Hits U.S. Barrooms SAN DIEGO (Wireless Flash) -- A new drinking game is hitting U.S. barrooms and college campuses harder than Scud missiles in Saddam Hussein's palaces. Boozehounds play the so-called "Baghdad Bingo" by watching the news and taking a shot every time they hear a journalist use buzzwords like "shock and awe." Other lush lingo includes "embedded journalists," "weapons of mass destruction," "decapitation attack," and "bunker buster bombs." The last one standing at the end of the news report is the winner. One barfly -- who wishes to remain anonymous -- says reporters are using the buzzwords so frequently that many lightweights are passing out before the end of the evening news.
