  side question, why is everything "*gate" nowadays? surely it's not a throwback to watergate? I mean, that's 43 years ago nearly.

      awesome, so it is people being a bit silly. can we try to retain the word "scandal" in the dictionary- gate already has a use. "/

    I never realised that was the origin - just checked and apparently it is.

    You mean the Watergategate ?

    The funniest observation I heard along these lines is that "-gate" gets used in Italy, and how is it possible they don't have something of their own to choose from?

    I remember reading the word "Watergate" and thinking "hmm, I don't remember a scandal about water ... oh yeah."

    I'm just waiting the day Bill Gates slips up. Then we'll have Gategate!
