People
who use the suffix 'Gate' when there is anything slightly political with the tiniest homeopathic wiff of scandal.


It made fucking sense with 'Watergate' because it was THE NAME OF THE FUCKING OFFICES YOU DULLARD CUNTS.

Yes.
Yes - all of this.

See also: the suffix "-oholic" when someone is addicted to something.

IT'S CALLED ALCOHOLIC BECAUSE ITS AN ADDICTION TO ALCOHOL.

I was got my coat caught in the side entrance to that place when I used to deliver stuff to kitchens.
I kicked off and the whole episode became known as watergategategate.

I imagine that when you find out that this story is complete bullshit the controversy will be labelled under 'watergategategategate.'

I invited the Palindrome Appreciation Society to round the other week to discuss a scandal about electronic tagging. They said they'd turn up at one time, then turned up at a completely different one. The entire party was ruined.

Still, I'm sure we'll get over ETagateETAgate eventually.

I once kicked up a fuss about an entrance getting jammed up by a microcrystalline variety of silica, chiefly chalcedony, characterised by its fineness of grain and brightness of colour.
It was dubbed "agategategate".

Good point
I am. Now left wondering if some bastard waste of space tabloid hack has ever responded to a hosepipe ban with the headline "watergate"

Surely Flakegate, sachsgate, nipplegate, strippergate, bibgate, sirengate, toiletgate,and chaingate are acceptable though.

That and "perfect storm". If any journalists are reading this, 99.99999% of people reading your article (from my statistically-valid-for-a-press-release sample size of one) see that phrase and immediately make the assumption the author is a complete twatbasket. The kind of creativity impoverished catchphrase spewing idiot who probably serves up cake at a dinner party by announcing it as "the perfect storm of eggs, flour, sugar and a nearby oven."

(Note: it's a dinner party with NO-ONE ELSE THERE. Thanks to the perfect storm of the host being a complete twatbasket and... well, no, just that.)
