Bagel

Slang for zero. This picturesque term was coined by Eddie Dibbs in describing a match in which he played, but it has been popularized by tennis writer and telecaster Bud Collins, who will report that the winning player of a 6-0 set has "bageled" the loser. (We presume that you don't have to be Jewish to know what a bagel is.)
