fun fact: scandals named as _______gate have nothing to do with actual gates.

not necessarily fun fact: some random dude who was a regular at the bar I lived next to went by the name "Gates" and he was a fucking prick sometimes (but not always) and my buddy/housemate came close to kicking his ass more than once.

turns out everyone who uses -gate to mean scandal is just not very smart.

And this is why the gate suffix is stupid.

it always was.

Almost makes me want to become a politician and create a scandal involving the word penis just to see if other scandals follow suit so that I can be like "btw I only made that scandal because people are stupid and I baited you all into throwing the suffix 'penis' around..." but in the end, that endeavor requires more effort than I'm willing to provide...

After we had two spygate scandals a friend of mine suggested that we replaced the gate suffix with ghazi.

Watergate would be called tapegate or something similar by modern standards.
