Definition of Gamergate: depends on who you ask, it's a heavily politicized movement. Best to research this yourself from a variety of sources and come to your own conclusion.
Definition of jumping the shark: A late episode of the TV program Happy Days involved a major character jumping over a shark on a pair of water skis. He had done previous stunts involving jumping over things on a motorcycle. Basically the writers ran out of ideas and resorted to things like this to keep viewers interested (not altogether successfully). So now we have the term "jumping the shark" to indicate a decline in quality.
edited to change jet ski to water skis

The Fonz was originally a minor character, but he was so popular with fans that he became a main character, and is the most memorable character on the show. My favorite "Jump The Shark" actor is Ted McGinley. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_McGinley http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_McGinley He's joined the cast of several once-popular shows as they were on the decline.
