"Gate"-gate - C2__ - 05-12-2015 12:21 PM

Deflategate (though that one at least flows right), Spygate, Nipplegate, etc...

I can't stand it anymore! This use of language needs to be shown the gate!

Luckily, those are not controversies, so I haven't jumped yet.

It all started with Watergate. After that, every scandal seemed to earn a gate.

I did, I jumped from the second to last step to the top step on the second floor here in the library I'm at.

At least Watergate was the actual name of the hotel that the crime occurred. All this _____gate is truly insanity. It's Gategate.

Just close the gate.

Finally, someone else who shares my utter disdain for this ludicrous term! 04-cheers

I don't care whether it's journalistic laziness, an attempt to simplify an event's name into a 'headline-ready" format, an attempt to ensure that every scandal's name serves as a reminder to what some consider the ultimate scandal (and in so doing, perhaps perpetuate a negative image of the party whose members perpetrated the incident), or some other reason, I wish it would just stop. Unfortunately, it's a permanent fixture now.
