I've been wondering this for years. What's with all the "...gate" business? Is"gate" an American suffix or something?

  It's derived from the Watergate scandal

    40 years of lazy journalists affixing -gate to everything to garner eyeballs. Because yeah, batteries going bad over time is exactly as scandalous as the President of the United States deliberately breaking the law.
