You're viewing a single thread.
God I hate their obsession with calling everything -gate
I blame Heaven's Gate and OceanGate.
Not sure if you're joking but the original "-gate" = political scandal was the break-in at the DNC headquarters in the Watergate Hotel by people connected to the Nixon administration.
So this is either a TIL or "I met a pedant with no sense of humor on the Internet" moment for you
Oh, you mean Watergategate?
At least we didn't call it Whitewatergate.
It's super annoying. So annoying that I now get my news exclusively from what written on bathroom stalls at the Lowe's on Silver Drive.
Whoever this Trump guy is, people have very strong opinions about him
