Moving on from the 'olholic' posts.
Any lazy fucking journalist who suffixes anything with 'gate.

Seriously people the original Watergate scandal was 40 fucking years ago.
Gate, does not mean scandal, it was not a scandal about some water.

Stop using it you pointless fucks.

According to the Oxford Dictionary it does.

Just because you don't approve of the etymology of a word, doesn't make it invalid.

It also includes chillax
therefore its views are invalid:

Is your point that we have enough words now, so should not accept any new ones into the language?

The Sun referred to that MP chap who lost it at the entrance to Downing St 'gate gate', which I found amusing.

Those who have issues with "gate-gate"...
